Maller championship team headed to hall By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer
And they’re off. After about 67 games this season and an unexpected early exit from the provincial playoffs, the Yorkton Parkland Mallers Midget AAA hockey club is off to Kitchener, Ont. to take on the best teams in the country in the Air Canada Cup April 21-25. They earned the opportunity by cleaning up on the competition in the Western Regional Championships at the Parkland Agriplex this weekend. As host team the Mallers went undefeated, beating the Winnipeg Hawks 6-3 on Thursday, the Thunder Bay Kings 5-4 on Friday and the Regina Pat Canadians 5-3 on Saturday. Amazingly, the Mallers were the only team to win one game, let alone all three, in round-robin play. The others finished with 0-1-2 records. • Yorkton This Week 1993
And so would begin what was thought to be the final chapter of an amazing story that was the Parkland Mallers that season, a trip to the Air Canada Cup.
But now nearly three decades later the story will get a new final chapter as the team is inducted into the Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame this Friday.
For local players the induction was for some unexpected and others a case of feeling the team was finally getting recognized.
“It’s pretty exciting. It seems like a lifetime ago, but it still stays in your mind,” said Neil Schell. “It’s pretty special to see us go in as a team.”
“I thought it was pretty cool to be honoured for something you did so long ago,” said Lee
Rusnak, about hearing of the selection. “I don’t think it’s a surprise. It was a unique championship especially from a smaller community like Yorkton,” offered Rob Kozak, a forward on the team. Kozak said he has always recognized the national championship as “an accomplishment” that was special because of the high level of hockey. It was prior to the 199293 season, the Mallers were selected to host the Air Canada Cup Western Regional Tournament giving them an automatic birth in the tournament. “During the season, the Mallers finished in second place heading into playoffs. In the opening round, the Mallers quickly disposed of the Moose Jaw Warriors winning the series in two straight games of a best-of-3. In the second round, the Mallers took on the Saskatoon Blazers and were bounced from the playoffs when they lost a heartbreaking Game 5 by a score of 5-4. With the loss, the Mallers would now have to wait until they hosted the Air Canada Cup Western Regional Championships,” detailed the Hall of Fame webpage. “At the regional tournament, the Mallers would compete against the Thunder Bay Kings (Northern Ontario), the Winnipeg Hawks (Manitoba), and the Regina Pat Canadians (Saskatchewan), who prevailed over the Blazers in the league final. The Mallers steamrolled the competition at Air Canada Cup Regionals, going a perfect 4-0. With the victory, the Mallers would now move on to the national championship.” They weren’t expected to make the final series but they did and they

Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame Inductee would turn heads at the national event too. At the Air Canada Cup, the Mallers (West) would compete against Les Gouverneurs de SteFoy (Quebec), Sault Ste. Marie Legion (Ontario), Calgary Northstars (Pacific), the Fredericton Canadiens (Atlantic), and the host Kitchener Greenshirts. After the round-robin portion of the tournament, the Mallers would finish with a record of 2-2-1, good enough for third place and more importantly a spot in the semi-finals. This set the stage for a matchup with the Sault Ste. Marie Legion. The Mallers beat the representatives from Quebec handedly with a 4-1 victory. And then the championship final which is still something players think about. Kozak said a numbers of players still stay in touch because of the close bond created that season. “You have to have that kind of bond to win the championship,” he said, adding when he looks back it was the whole road to the win that he remembers most keenly. “Overall it was just a really good experience as a team,” he said. Schell said come spring there is always an email of text that goes around among former teammates reliving the championship. Rusnak said it certainly helps to have modern technology to stay connected so many years later.
“It’s so easy to stay in touch with everybody now,” he said. The long-lasting camaraderie might have come as a result of the team needing everyone working hard as a group to succeed. “We weren’t maybe as skilled as the best team at the tournament, but everybody played for each other,” said Schell. “We put so much effort into it to be rewarded at the end.” Rusnak agreed the team was a hardworking crew. “We were kind of a blue collar team. Everybody knew what their role was and did it to the best of their ability,” he said. It helped that a number of players had played together through Bantam, and most were drawn from the parkland area. “We drew all our talent from this area,” said Schell. And while many years have passed with players going on to Junior and college teams, the Mallers win stands out. “I’ve been fortunate I’ve had a few highlights, but it’s (the championship) right up there,” said Kozak. “I’m certainly proud of that I represented Yorkton where I was born and raised.” And for the finals story we turn back to YTW circa 1993: It was a bizarre ending to a fairy-tale story when the Yorkton Parkland Mallers beat the Ste-Foy Gouverneurs to take the Air Canada Cup Sunday.
An overtime goal credited to Mallers forward Gary Banerd gave the rags-to-riches team the most prestigious midget hockey award in the country at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium. Banerd was fishing for the puck behind the Quebec team’s net when he attempted the wrap-
around. Instead, the puck ended up taking a bounce off Ste-Foy’s defencemen Dominique Auger and . . . goaltender Frederic Deschenes. As they had been doing throughout the tournament, the Mallers had to come from behind for the win in front of 1,624 fans.

Tiny turtle fossils making waves for researcher New research on a fossilized smoothshelled turtle species discovered in southwest Saskatchewan is sparking academic interest as the specimen involved is only the second of its kind studied in North
America. In a recently published paper, a team of palaeontologists, which includes the Royal Saskatchewan Museum’s (RSM) Ryan McKellar, describes a new genus and species of smooth-
shelled turtle that was found near Grasslands National Park in 2016. “Whether it is uncovering and reassembling the world’s largest Tyrannosaurus, on display in the CN T.rex Gallery, to last year’s
amazing Prognathodon discovery, the work of scientists at the RSM is as fascinating as it is wideranging,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Laura Ross said. “At the RSM, there is always a Continued on Page 3

Native Prairie Appreciation Week marked
The Government of Saskatchewan is proud to proclaim June 19 to 25, 2022, as Native Prairie Appreciation Week. Native prairie is a grassland ecosystem that is one of the most diverse systems on earth. “Saskatchewan’s prairie landscape is part of what makes our province so unique,” Environment Minister Dana Skoropad said. “This week emphasizes the importance of recognizing our native prairie for its benefits to not only people, but as a habitat for many species
that call Saskatchewan home.” Native prairie ecosystems are some of the most at-risk ecosystems in the world. Native Prairie Appreciation Week is an opportunity to draw attention to the need to conserve these important areas. “We recognize the importance of having a healthy and sustainable native prairie from an agricultural, economic, and ecological perspective,” Agriculture Minister David Marit
said. “Our producers know that sustainable grazing management of native pastures supports biodiversity on these ecologically important lands, sustainable growth in production of their operations, and will maintain this ecosystem for generations to come.” The Saskatchewan Prairie Conservation Action Plan (SK PCAP) has been spearheading this initiative since 1999. They have a variety of activities planned to celebrate, including urban awareness booths
Appreciation Week is a great opportunity to educate and engage with people with diverse backgrounds about native prairie,” SK PCAP Manager Carolyn Gaudet said. “The diversity of plants, animals and insects found on native prairie is amazing and unfortunately disappearing, so we want
to encourage everyone to learn more about native prairie and find out how they can support this fragile ecosystem.” To learn more about Native Prairie Appreciation Week, visit https://www.pcap-sk.org/ upcoming-events/npaw or contact pcap@sasktel. net. — Submitted

5 Factors To Consider with Cottage Purchases
and teaching. To learn more about the Royal Saskatchewan Museum’s programming and world class research, visit https://royalsaskmuseum.ca. — Submitted
Year-Round Maintenance Requirements Before purchasing your getaway home, it is crucial to have a thorough evaluation to ensure the home is weatherproofed for the summer and winter months. When considering year-round maintenance, key considerations include checking out the age of the roof, doors, and windows. You will also want to confirm the level of insulation, including under the floors. Cottage roofs typically undergo a lot of strain in the winter months as snow, ice and other debris accumulate over time. In addition, the age of the doors and windows is important because you don’t want to have any cracks or openings where animals or the elements can enter the cottage. If you aren’t planning on visiting your cottage to complete regular maintenance during the winter, having the roof, doors and windows in good condition can save you money and work come springtime. In addition to the actual structural requirements, it is essential to familiarize yourself with the local by-laws for winter snow removal. Some regions have rules that state a pathway must always be cleared during the winter months. After reading up on the local by-laws, it might be worth the investment to find someone to check in on your cottage and clear away any snow, ice, or debris in your offseason should you live a far distance away. Plumbing Piggybacking on the year-round maintenance requirements is being aware of the type of plumbing the cottage has – or even if it has plumbing at all! When looking at cottages for sale, make a list of important amenities, such as having indoor plumbing. Many cottages don’t have indoor plumbing, equipped only with an outhouse. In addition, many properties in recreational markets run on a septic system which requires a different amount of maintenance, care and attention year-round. Ease of Access A cottage can be a great investment; however, location does play a significant role in whether it may generate rental income, as well as the times of year you visit your vacation home. A property that is only accessible by water will probably just be used as a summer home – and in this case, you’ll need to consider the price of purchasing a boat when buying a cottage located on an island. Some properties in very rural areas may be accessible by car but might not have winter access as many backcountry roads are not maintained in the winter months.Also, location when it comes to distance from amenities is important to consider. Many cottages are in very rural parts of the country, meaning the drive to a grocery store or gas station could be significant. Before investing in a secondary residence, ease of access and location regarding other amenities are key factors to consider. Rental Potential and Rules Surrounding Renting Cottage homes can be an excellent investment if you also choose to use them to produce rental income. When purchasing a cottage as a rental property, key amenities are the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, ease of access, and location. Suppose the idea of renting is your main driving force behind buying a recreational property. In that case, it is strongly advised that you review the rules and regulations regarding renting out seasonal property and learn your way around the different web platforms available for renting, such as Airbnb. Taxes and Capital Gains A cottage is known as a personal-use property, which means there are different tax implications. If the property is used solely as personal recreational property, there are other tax rules than if you decide to rent out your cottage. In addition, upon sale of the cottage, you will be responsible for paying taxes on any capital gain of the property. Before making any significant financial decision and purchasing a property, it is essential to consider both your financial situation and your needs and wants in the property. Reaching out to a professional for advice is always a wise first step!

EDITORIAL Giving Clash Disc offering a trial toss
There is a veritable boat load of companies manufacturing golf discs in countries around the world all hoping to capture a piece of the growing market as the sport of disc golf continues to grow. A decade ago the sport in Saskatchewan, for example was confined to only a handful of courses, and today there are dozens of courses in communities right across the province.
The reasons for the rather rapid growth are many, but to start with the relatively low cost to a municipal government to install a course to provide a recreational opportunity to residents.
So we see courses pop up from Saskatoon to Springside with communities of all sizes in between creating courses.
Of course you won’t see the course busy overnight, but with some effort to promote the course, hold how-to-play clinics and hosting beginner nights, players will come. As disc golf pro Nikko Locastro noted in the Sports This Week column in this week’s Yorkton This Week the sport is a low cost one for people to get into, and once you toss a few discs you tend

Sports to be hooked. “Once you start playing, people rarely stop and give it up,” he said, adding for most it’s “disc golf for life.” And therein lies another reason for its growth, the low cost to players with discs still around $30 each, so a starter set will be generally less than $100. Which brings me back to all the companies creating discs, which are the best for a beginner? That really comes down to a lot of factors, in particular arm strength, and how much you will play. The more you play, the more you will learn what works best. So, most players will end up with at least a few discs searching for the driver which gives you a few extra feet off the tee, or the putter that you never miss with – a hint – that disc is a unicorn. It does not exist. But, like ball golf, putting is a huge part of the sport, and players will often find a putter they
like, then one day you will throw it and miss every basket you see, and suddenly you are looking for another option. The Judge from Dynamic Discs, the Beaver or Polar Bear from Canadian manufacturer Daredevil, or the Berg from Kastaplast all have had play time out of my bag – when one goes cold I grab a different one. The Popcorn from Clash Discs is a new putter that left a good impression from the first day out, a windy spring day, my first round in more than six months, and I was putting surprisingly well. But, for a better trial I absconded my ‘leftie’ throwing buddy Trevor Lyons and we headed to Sandy Beach on Good Spirit Lake to give the Popcorn and its sister discs the Mint and the Berry some added testing. As Locastro noted, the Popcorn “has lots of glide . . . that’s extremely con-
trollable.” What I noted was it flew dead straight and that included the windy first day. Trevor found it a straight flier too. “It felt like a max weight disc. Flight was straight out the hand. That being said, it was like throwing the Dynamic Discs Judge. “If this was your first putter, it would be good, but it’s not good enough to convince me to change.” I might argue, and Trev and I occasionally do. I love my Judge but the Popcorn just feels like it wants to hit the chains. So far, I am leaning toward using it regularly. The Mint is an approach disc that the company website states, “is an overstable throwing putter that keeps its line even with a hard pull. Thanks to the low profile, it is also ideal for forehand.” “It is a fast putter or a slow midrange,” simplified Trevor, who noted “it flies similar to the Westside Harp.” Trevor also noted “for a slower arm, like mine, this disc fades fast as it slows down creating a predictable flight that hooks around obstacles. Since I already have a disc that flies similar, it
Trevor Lyons won’t be making it into my bag.” In my case my game has more holes than Swiss cheese, having learned it far too late to have a great technique and at 62 it will not get better, and one of my biggest holes is my wonky forehand. That said the Mint is a disc that has potential, but as an approach disc it’s learning where to use it. Approach discs are not exactly a putter, so within say 30-feet, you are likely to go with, in the case of Clash Discs, the Popcorn. Get farther from the basket a midrange, like Clash’s Berry, is likely the first choice. So the Mint might take some rounds to get comfortable with what the disc does best for you, although it seems like it wants to perform a lot of different things with some practice. As for the Berry, it is
Serving his country honour for Preeceville youth Courtesy of Preeceville Progress Eric Prestie’s dream of attaining an Engineering degree at the Royal Military College (RMC) in Kingston Ontario, as a member of the Royal Canadian Armed took a step closer to reality as he took his official oath and was sworn into the Canadian Armed Forces in Regina on June 15. Prestie currently lives in Preeceville and is looking forward with some trepidation as he works towards his future career serving his country. He has now become an officer cadet in the Canadian Armed Forces. He is scheduled to start his journey on July 9 when will fly out to St. Jean, Quebec where he will complete the first five weeks of a 12-week Basic Military Officer Qualification (BMOQ) course before heading to Kingston, Ontario. The second half of BMOQ will take place summer 2023. He will be stationed at RMC Kingston for
four years, with BMOQ during the first two summers and trade-specific training during the final two summers at RMC. Once he has completed his Engineering degree, he will be commissioned as an Electronical and Mechanical Engineering Officer. In his career he will be responsible for overseeing the maintenance and repair of any area of electrical and mechanical equipment used by the army, including vehicles, weapons, electronic-optronics and any other equipment that may be used by the army. “I knew at the at the age of 13 years that I wanted to be part of the Canadian Armed Forces. It has always been a passion that has followed me through my high school years. I obtained my private pilot licence last year and served as a cadet in the Preeceville Harvard Air Cadet Squadron for seven years. Cadets has helped me to become more confident to follow by
dreams,” said Prestie. “I have always respected those who served in the military and feel it a great honor to join them in serving out country,” he continued. While a cadet, he attained all three levels of Duke of Edinburgh Awards - gold, silver and bronze, which is the highest achievement a cadet can be honoured with. He graduated from the Preeceville School in 2021 and is currently looking forward to his new career. “The Royal Canadian Military has a very strict acceptance policy with four pillars that a candidate has to qualify for in order to graduate from RMC,” stated mom Heather Prestie. “Candidates must be academically-inclined, fully bilingual, athletic, and be able to succeed at military drills and procedures. They first must be accepted as a student to RMC and then achieve acceptance from the military,” said Heather.
a midrange that the website notes, “is a straight multi-purpose midrange that holds its throwing angle well. At high speed arms it turns slightly over and glides far.” This is the one disc in the Clash trio that may not make my bag for the summer.
The Kaxe from Kastaplast has been my ‘do everything’ middie for a while, saving me on hundreds of throws, and it’s unlikely the Berry will push the Kaxe out of use. Trevor liked it more.
“I liked the way the disc felt in hand and it threw great,” he said. “Whatever line I threw it on it stayed, hyzer or anhyzer. To me, it felt like a Dynamic Discs EMAC Truth, but held the line I threw a little better. This disc may find its way into my bag.” So there you have it from a couple of guys far from pros but who have thrown a lot of discs the last near decade. Clash is a new company, but the three discs we tried are certainly solid offerings a lot of players will find useful.

Residents raise money to help family of Ethen Krawetz Courtesy of Kamsack Times A GoFundMe page set up to help the family of a 19-year-old Kamsack man raised over $57,000 in four days. Ethen Krawetz suffered a catastrophic spinal cord injury on June 4, leaving all four limbs paralyzed and with no ability to move from the shoulders down, says the page which was set up by his uncle Curtis Krawetz. “Donations raised will help Ethen’s parents care for him and his two younger siblings.” His uncle says that the goal is to raise $350,000, and as of June 13, the GoFundMe page said that $57,550 had been raised. “We are told that Ethen will be hospitalized for a very long time (months) and will need professional care and support for the rest of his life, including, among other things, specialized equipment in his home, a specialized vehicle, personal professional day-to-day care and medical support,” Curtis said. “This is our family’s official account and all funds will be used to establish a fund to help Ethen and his family through this life-changing event and provide care for him in the months and years ahead. “We are currently focused on stabilizing Ethen’s breathing as his lungs struggle to work correctly. He was in good spirits, but we are early in his journey and he will need a lot of love and support to get through this. “This kid deserves nothing but the best in his fight so let’s give it to him! “The funds we raise
will be used to ensure his family can feel free to put their primary focus on Ethen and his two younger siblings at this critical time and into the future. “We are also hoping that between this campaign and raising money through other avenues, we can eventually send Ethen for therapy that isn’t offered in our current medical system. “I know I may be getting ahead of myself, but seeing what is going on in this field of work is amazing and gives families like ours hope,” Curtis said. “But it also takes an army of support emotionally and financially.” The son of Dawn and the late Cory Krawetz, Ethen has a young brother aged 17 and younger sister aged 15, he said. The kids lost their father when Ethen was five years old. “Ethen also has a wonderful girlfriend who he lights up around and is also supported by Dawn’s partner and both sets of grandparents, and the entire community of Kamsack. “Ethen is a caring, hardworking, loveable young man just starting out in life. He loves the outdoors, snowmobiles, hunting, fishing, vehicles, and all his family and friends. He often refereed local hockey games and even took a hand in helping out coaching the little ones in town with lots of parents commenting to me how much the kids loved Ethen.” Ethen graduated from the Kamsack Comprehensive Institute in 2021 and in May, he graduated from Parkland College with a welding
Ethen Krawetz certificate, Curtis said. Ethen was starting a new job this month at a manufacturing plant in Gerald as a welder. “He was so excited, and because I know his personality, work ethic and ability to make people smile, I think he was indeed on a path to a successful and happy life. “This kid always has a smile on his face and can carry a conversation with the best of them (He’s quite the storyteller),” he said. “He takes pride in everything he does. Whether it is a shop project he completed, taking care of his father’s older snowmobile or his vehicle, Ethen treats everything of his like it’s worth a million dollars. Most importantly, Ethen has been a role model for his siblings and a rock in his family, helping his mother with his siblings whenever needed. He always takes time to help his grandparents and anyone else that needs it. He truly is a one of a kind! “Ethen’s father Cory passed away in October 2008 in a tragic ATV accident, resulting from a severe spinal injury. Ethen’s mother lost a husband and the kids lost their father. The children were so young at the time.
Ethen was five, but was old enough to take on many of his dad’s traits and hobbies such as hunting, snowmobiling and taking pride in his truck. “With the help of both sets of grandparents, relatives, her partner, and other community members and friends from near and far, Ethen’s mother did an excellent job raising three great kids. His brother was three, and his sister was one so their memories are much more distant of their father, but one thing is for sure, the community supported the family then, and they will support them once again. “Growing up without their father was extremely hard, but that didn’t stop them from growing up to be great human beings,” Curtis said. “The stress of losing a husband and father is enough to
last a lifetime, so adding Ethen’s injury to this family’s pain breaks my heart. “None of them deserve this so we need to help ease their pain. “It is early in Ethen’s fight and I can already see the costs that Ethen’s family will incur to provide just the basics of life for Ethen, never mind what it will take to give him the quality of life he deserves. “This is just the beginning, and I’m going to make it my life’s goal to support Ethen and this family, but I need help doing so and so do they. “I love them all so much, and after my brother passed, whenever I say a prayer, it always includes, ‘Dear Lord, please watch over Cory’s family. Keep them safe, healthy and happy and allow them all the
opportunities to succeed at whatever they choose in life given the challenges they’ve had to face, Amen.’ “Please help me do this with whatever you can, whether it be supporting the family emotionally or financially. My wife and I will top up the 2.9 per cent fee GoFundMe takes from all donations, so please don’t let that deter you from funding here. “Thank you to all who have supported this family before and for considering supporting them again,” Curtis said. “Your generosity means the world to all of us. I will be posting updates of Ethen’s fight so his supporters can follow his progress.” People may donate to the Ethen Krawetz Fund by going to GoFundMe on the Internet.

Long-time Doukhobor village supporters honoured at Museum Appreciation Day Courtesy of Canora Courier
After a two-year hiatus, the National Doukhobor Heritage Village at Veregin celebrated Museum Appreciation Day on June 5. Approximately 50 guests attended the event, which began with a traditional service held in the Prayer Home, said Linda Osachoff of Canora, secretary for the Village. The service was led by members of the Saskatoon Doukhobor Society, who have kicked off the museum season for many years. The choir was greatly enhanced by the Saskatoon singers and Mae Popoff and Jeannette Stringer, who provided the inspirational messages. The Village partnered with the East-Central Newcomer Welcome Centre, co-ordinated by Shanley Allard, who brought new Canadians from Mexico and Poland to share in the culture of the community. Following the service, guests were served an ethnic lunch in the Veregin Community Centre. The borsch, perihi, and perishki were prepared by Nadia
Honoured at the Museum Appreciation Day reception were Lucille Dergousoff, left, who has volunteered in many capacities, for the Village, and for both the Saskatoon and Canora Doukhobor societies, and Mellvina Dergousoff, a lifelong Canora Society Doukhobor and the historian of that society. Reiben’s crew of Veregin volunteers. Bread baked in the village oven by volunteers completed the meal. The program focussed on the honoring of five Village board members who have contributed many years to the preservation and enhancement of the Doukhobor culture, Osachoff said. They are: Bill Zbeetnoff and Tannis Negrave of Kamsack; Sonia Tarasoff of Saskatoon, and Lucille Dergousoff and Mellvina Dergousoff of Canora. Bill Zbeetnoff, a lifetime member of the Kamsack Doukhobor Society, and a Village board member since its
inception in the 1980s, has been active on the board until quite recently. He served in many capacities, most recently heading up the Memorial Fund. “Bill’s gentle and considerate nature were recognized, as was his musical talent,” she said. “Bill continues to play guitar with the Polka Pals and recently performed at Eaglestone Lodge.” The next engagement of the group was to be at the Kamsack and District Nursing Home. Tannis Negrave of Kamsack has been a constant driver at the Village, Osachoff said. “She has volunteered

and made numerous contributions to the board for more than four decades. She can be most often found in the kitchen, ensuring all guests are served good food. Negrave was the initiator of the blini brunch at the Village Heritage Day, an event that has become the most popular and well-attended fundraiser, and has served on executive positions for the Village, the Doukhobor Cultural Society of Saskatchewan, and the Christian Community of Universal Brotherhood. She’s contributed to Doukhobor publications and sung in the Heritage Choir. Sonia Tarasoff, of Saskatoon and formerly of the Canora area, was a staunch supporter of the Village with her late husband, Keith. “Through Sonia’s efforts, Village bread baking reached new levels and the teams that were trained continue to produce 40 to 50 loaves per session for baking,” Osachoff said. “Sonia was an instrumental part of the Canora Doukhobor
Society choir and participated creating the two CDs initiated by the group.” Lucille Dergousoff has volunteered in many capacities, for the Village, and for both, the Saskatoon and Canora Doukhobor societies. “Known as the ‘starter’ in the Canora choir for many years, Lucille, who has taken part in fundraising activities, has given her voice to the Heritage Choir and the Centennial Choir, along with the CDs produced in the community.” Mellvina Dergousoff is a lifelong Canora Society Doukhobor and the historian of that society. She recalls early days of families gathering in homes, before the prayer home was built in Canora, and a time when there were three choirs in Canora, along with history and psalm classes. “Mellvina was in charge of memberships and circulation of The Dove in Canora for countless years.” Following the presentations, which were made by Village directors Fred

Chess as a sport raises interesting questions
Recently a story in Yorkton This Week noted the top players in a chess tournament at St. Paul’s School in the city. As avid gamers we like seeing young people involved in board games in an era we realize the lure of video games is huge – one amongst us actually wiles away hours with a game controller in hand too. There is nothing wrong with video games per say. They can be challenging, requiring a certain skill set, and often through online play can have a social aspect too. But, there is something about board games, played across a table
THE MEEPLE GUILD (YORKTON) meeple.guild@gmail.com with friends, which offer something different as well. For the senior players in our Meeple Guild it is perhaps simply what we know best, growing up as we did before even the first ‘pong’ tables hit the market, and before we could drop quarters

into game slots to play Pacman or Centipede or Galaxian when the first video arcades opened in our home towns. Personally, I cut my board game teeth on checkers with my grandfather, and crokinole and rod hockey with dad, followed by cribbage. Like the students at St. Paul’s School, I learned chess in my middle school years, games filling many noon hours at Centennial Junior High School. That is probably where my deep love of abstract strategy games grew out of.
Chess of course holds something of a special place among board games in terms of stature, with national championships, world events, and event efforts for it to become an Olympic sport. The latter idea has always been an intriguing one. Is chess a sport? If you were to ask fans of sports such as hockey, football or lacrosse, I suspect the answer to the question would generally be no. Ask board gamers and the reply might skew to the affirmative. Certainly what is generally accepted as sport has broadened over the years – rhythmic gymnastics, trampolining, ballroom and break dancing and even skateboarding seen as legitimate sports by far more today than a couple of decades ago. Does chess require skill? Most certainly, with the best in the world – such as grandmaster and
world champion Magnue Carlsen – devoting lifes to the game/sport. Of course, if we accept chess is a sport – and to be truthful I am undecided on whether it is or not – then we would open something of a Pandora’s Box for a governing body such as the Olympic Committee. If chess – the western version we typically know best – were declared a sport, then it stands to reason Shogi (Japanese chess) and Xiangqi (Chinese chess), would likewise be sports. And if chess variants are sports, then Go, seen by many as the greatest of abstract strategy games, would assuredly be a sport too. Suddenly the gates could open to dozens, if not hundreds of abstract strategy games – those game not relying on lucky card draws or dice rolls to influence victory – becoming ‘sports’. For example, Hive – a
modern gem to my mind -- is in many ways just a modern take on chess ideas. And then why not Bao, International checkers, Abalone, Camelot, Tak, Tzaar, etc? It will be because of the probable flood of other games following chess that the game will never be an Olympic sport – and while most are not likely to see it as a sport because where to draw the line is so uncertain. Still, chess is a phenomenon of sorts not just surviving but remaining vibrant for hundreds of years, and as board gamers The Meeple Guild congratulates any young person learning and enjoying chess through school clubs. Hopefully, they’ll try some of the other great abstract strategy games, and locally we would always be up to demo a few (contact dulok44@ hotmail.com).

The Hunter topped the two-wheel drive trucks Saturday with a pull of 332.21.
Morning Micro topped the Micro Mini class Saturday with a pull of 199.09.
Smoke and noise highlight tractor pulls and four-wheel drive trucks and of course the big tractors, some with up to four engines and burning alcohol. The “Prairie pulling league was thrown on the table five or so years ago by a bunch of pulling enthusiasts to keep the sport active and to help it grow in western Canada,” notes their website. In addition to the main show there were vintage tractors too.
They might have been a bit rusty. They might have been a bit slow down the track. But the vintage tractors still pulled their weight both days. The old iron was the warm-up act of the show but still pleased the crowd at the Legacy Co-op Grandstand as they arrived. The next pull for the PPL will be in Odessa, Sask. July 8 - July 9.

New summer camp offering in city A new camp experience for kids is coming to the Yorkton area this summer. Wild Spirit Education of Saskatoon will be offering their Montessori style Naturally Curious Summer camp for kids aged 3-9 from July 25-28 and August 15-19 at the
Gallagher Centre. This camp offers experiences and opportunities that create a love of learning, love of nature, build kids’ confidence and provide them with the knowledge that camp experiences are fun. Wild Spirit camps have a strong nature focus
which provides children with a holistic environment in which to play and learn. Nature is proven to calm the mind and destress the body, provide regular opportunities to be successful, develop their self-esteem, all with hands-on learning experi-
ences! This summer, Allison Henderson-Hunter, biologist and mother of three, will bring local content to both camps that will run 9 a.m. to noon in the nearby Ravine Ecological Preserve. Children will spend mornings creating new friendships, developing a love of learning and spending time outdoors in their community in a peace-
ful and creative environment! At Naturally Curious Summer camp, staff are well trained and experienced to observe how your children best learn, what they are excited and interested in, and guide them from there. Children will be led through group and individual activities that develop their social skills, leadership skills,
and independence. Everything from art projects, messy science, free time, and everything in between! The children participate in planning the day!

City on look out for invasive beetle By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer
The Parks Recreation and Culture Department has set a series of traps around the community looking to trap a potential new villain which could threaten city trees. Residents may notice a green, box-like structure hanging high in the foliage of 10 ash trees in the city. The structures are traps for the emerald ash borer beetle. The emerald ash borer (EAB) is a metallic green beetle, about a centimetre in length. In its native Asia, the beetle attacks already weakened and stressed ash trees, but in North America it kills healthy ash trees, detailed www. saskatchewan.ca. Silver Liccud, arborist
with the City of Yorkton said the beetle is thought to have arrived in North America in Michigan, and by 2002 was found in Ontario. Ontario was not able to control the beetle and in the fall of 2017 it was identified in Winnipeg. There are concerns Saskatchewan will be next with communities along Highways #16 and #1 considered the most likely access points, putting Yorkton as a likely early entry point. Matt Chorney, Parks Manager with the City of Yorkton said the most likely way they arrive in the city is through wood brought in from Manitoba. The beetles live and breed in ash wood, so people transporting infested firewood or
wood products is the most common way that EAB is spread. With that in mind Chorney said people can help stop the beetle from arriving simply by not transporting ash firewood and wood products from an infested area into a non-infested area. Once established, EAB kills almost all of the ash trees in an area. Since more than a quarter of Saskatchewan’s urban trees are varieties of ash, the beetle poses a serious – and potentially costly – threat as dead trees must be removed and replaced, noted www.saskatchewan.ca. Locally the beetle could be devastating to the trees in the city. Liccud estimated there are some 5000 ash trees in Yorkton, or
about 20 per cent of the total tree population. “So it is a concern,” added Chorney. So far the beetle does not appear to have arrived in the city. The traps are now in their third year and no beetles have been found. The traps will be monitored until September. Invasive pests, including EAB, are federally regulated, with monitoring and control effects led by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). The Government of Saskatchewan has also put regulatory controls in place to support the CFIA’s efforts. EAB has been designated as a pest in Saskatchewan to prevent infested wood or seedlings from entering the province, detailed www.saskatchewan.ca.
Deer Park hosts junior event SHHF inductee remembered for hard work By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer
A Faldo Hurricane Series Qualifier Golf Tournament was held at Deer Park Municipal Golf Course over the weekend. The event attracted 22 golfers ages U15 to U19 from across Saskatchewan for three rounds of golf Friday, Saturday and Sunday. According to the Canadian Junior Golf Association, “launched in 2021, the Faldo Hurricane Series is the largest and most impactful global junior golf partnership of its kind. This new series is a collaboration between Sir Nick Faldo’s, Faldo Series, and the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour, designed to showcase the top juniors in a competitive series that starts at a local level with
20 Sectional Qualifiers, then move to five Regional Invitationals, culminating with the Faldo Hurricane Series North America Grand Final where qualifiers will battle it out to be crowned overall champion.” Players play in the Faldo Hurricane Series Qualifier that is designated to their province. Top finishers will be invited to the regional qualifier that will take place at Woodington Lake Golf Club in Tottenham, Ontario Sept. 10 and 11. The top finisher in each division at the regional qualifier will be awarded a spot in the Faldo Hurricane Series Grand Final at Innisbrook Golf Resort, in Palm Harbour, Florida Oct. 10 and 11. In Yorkton the top finishers were: • Amateur women
Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame Inductee By Tyson Off Staff Writer
Twenty-two junior golfers took part. Symone Ripley of Saskatoon was first with 256 over three rounds. • Junior women Yorkton’s Ella Kozak finished first with a 232 over three rounds. • The Bantam girls’ division was topped by Niya Friesen of Swift
Current with a three-day total of 278. • Chase Pochylko of Saskatoon finished first in the field with a 217 over three days. • Dane Giesbrecht of Warman, Sask. was the top boy’s Bantam golfer with a 230.

YORKTON – The Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame induction dinner is set to happen this Friday, June 24, and will see another member of the 92-93 Mallers recognized. Wayne Henley, the manager for the team that year, will be recognized for his services to the sport. “Henley was heavily involved in Yorkton Minor Hockey for over 20 years. He served as president and founding member of the South Saskatchewan Hockey League, president of the Yorkton Minor Sports Association and manager of the Yorkton Mallers Midget “AAA” hockey team,” read an article on the SHHF’s website. Henley worked with the organization until January 2014 and would pass away later that year, according to his obituary. “I worked for that hockey team as well for years – I always felt that he did a lot more than he got credit for,” said Rick Henley, the son of Wayne Henley, in an interview with Yorkton This Week. Rick went on to reflect on his father’s hard-working demeanor. “Game day was always stressful for him because he thought the only way to get something done right was to do it himself,” said Rick. “So he’d be running around getting the line-ups ready, he’d be printing the programs for the game, he’d be actually writing out the game sheet – and he did all that to the point where I’d start showing up earlier and tried to take some of that away from him so he didn’t have so much to do,” said Rick. “Plus – as the manager of the hockey team – he’d also had to deal with the parents, he had to deal with the kids, he had to deal with the coaches – he was a very busy guy for a guy that was retired,” said Rick with a laugh. “I remember when I was nine or so – Saturdays was [going] to the rink...we’d go at eight in the morning and basically open the place up and he spent all day there – and if there was a Terrier game he spent all night there,” said Rick. Rick recognized that his father dealt with other sports and not just hockey. “He spent years before there was a Mallers – before there was a triple A midget league – as the president of Yorkton Minor Sports,” said Rick. “He was a very even-tempered guy – he hardly ever got mad – he might show a second of anger and then he’d back off and he’d think about it,” said Rick, adding, “he was always very busy – there was always a parent to talk to, a player to talk to – he was usually the guy that if someone got injured and had to go to the hospital, he was the guy who took him.”

Royal Auto Group support Ukraine aid effort By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer
The war in Ukraine has hit close to home for Royal Auto Group who are trying to help by raising money to aid Ukraine. “We have six staff who were born and raised in Ukraine,” explained Natalie Ortynsky,” adding Terry Ortynsky actually traveled to Ukraine “and recruited them to come to Canada to work.” And the Ortynsky family immigrated from Ukraine years ago as well, as is the case for many Yorkton and region. “With everything that has happened in Ukraine
it’s been really challenging for staff with family over there,” said Natalie Ortynsky. The initial reaction to the war was to collect items from staff – medical supplies, children’s items, clothing – for donation to the Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC). Next, when one of the associates became involved with a steak supper fundraiser at Tapp’s Sports Lounge and Grill, Royal Ford and Royal Honda became locations with tickets. “We sold out all the tickets we were assigned,” said Ortynsky, adding it was great to see
customers and staff so supportive of the effort. Next, corporately a decision was made to donate $100 from each vehicle sale in April, an effort which saw $5400 donated to UCC “to go to help the people in Ukraine,” said Ortynsky. And now keychains made by a Saskatchewan artist are being sold at the two locations, again with the $10 per keychain going to UCC. “We’re hoping it helps a bit,” said Ortynsky, adding the effort is not huge “but we wanted to show our support. “It means a lot to our staff.”

Kozak headed to major U.S. events By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer
Yorkton’s Ella Kozak is going to the U.S. Junior Girls Championship. Kozak, 16, qualified through an event in North Dakota recently. Kozak recently travelled to Jamestown, N.D. to compete in the one-day event looking for a spot in the upcoming national championship in Bowling Green, Kentucky. “It was actually my coaches down in Florida who suggested it,” Kozak explained, adding it was a last minute opportunity. Kozak had been golfing in a three-day event in Steinbach, MB. but was only a couple of holes into her final round when the horn blew and
the rains came. “The course was under water basically,” she said. So the family hopped in the car and headed south. “It was a one-day tournament,” said Kozak. “You had one shot. You had to win it.” And that is exactly what Kozak did, topping the field of 12. She won the qualifier with a 2-over, 74, three strokes better than Rylee Heryford and Rose Solberg, becoming the first Saskatchewan player to qualify for the national event since Anna Young in 2012. Having the event pop onto the radar almost out of the blue was almost a good thing in the sense there was limited time
Ella Kozak to over think the pressure of the circumstance, although not all the apprehension was eliminated. “There was still a lit-
tle bit of worry because it was just the one day,” said Kozak. The U.S. Junior Girls Championship will be held at The Club at Olde
Stone from July 18 to 23. A Faldo Hurricane Series Qualifier Golf Tournament was held at Deer Park Municipal Golf Course over the weekend. The event attracted 22 golfers ages U15 to U19 from across Saskatchewan for three rounds of golf Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Players play in the Faldo Hurricane Series Qualifier that is designated to their province. Top finishers will be invited to the regional qualifier that will take place at Woodington Lake Golf Club in Tottenham, Ontario Sept. 10 and 11. The top finisher in each division at the regional qualifier will be awarded a spot in the Faldo
Hurricane Series Grand Final at Innisbrook Golf Resort, in Palm Harbour, Florida Oct. 10 and 11. Kozak topped the Junior Women’s Division with a 232 over three rounds. Being back on the Deer Park course “was definitely a different experience,” offered Kozak, adding “it felt a little bit weird.” That said Kozak said the course was “in really good shape,” for the event. With the two qualifications Kozak said the season is going well. “It’s been a really good season so far,” she said, adding she has the Saskatchewan championships upcoming in Regina as the next big event.
Tractor pulling in the blood By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer When Joe Hoffart was very young, back in the 1970s, his father Rod was into tractor pulling. “I was really young,” he said, adding he can’t recall those days in great detail, past an interest in tractors. Eight years ago, the Odessa-based driver made a return to the sport. “We had one left, (a pulling tractor),” he said Friday afternoon in an interview ahead of the Yorkton Hyundai Thunder in the Parkland. That one tractor was enough to set the younger Hoffart back into the sport in a major way. “Now we’re back up to five,” he said, explaining the rigs include a twowheel drive truck, a micro-mini, a mini modified and two tractors, one sporting three engines. So does Hoffart have a favourite to drive? “My big three-engine is fun. They’re all fun. They’re all unique – different every time,” he said. “Plus we own the
sleds,” he added. The sleds are integral aspect of an event, and Hoffart said there are probably only about four in all of Canada. The two he owns, one for minis that is also used for vintage tractor pulling, and one used for the big pullers were purchased in Wisconsin. While the sleds are integral to an event, another key element is the track. Hoffart explained the conditions, how much moisture is in the dirt, the compaction, are keys to have a great competition. “It’s a challenge getting that just right,” he said, adding Yorkton’s track has generally been a good one. “It’s one of the better ones.” Over the summer Hoffart, his tractors and sleds hit eight to 10 events through the Prairie Pulling League (PPL). The first of 2022 was in Morris, Man. last weekend, and after the Yorkton runs today and Saturday, they will compete next in his hometown of Odessa, popula-
Joe Hoffart with his four-engine tractor. tion about 200. “We have a great show for a small town,”
he said, adding it is held as a fundraiser for the community, and has been
so successful they are building a new community hall. “We start digging dirt this week,” he said. While it took Hoffart some years to follow in his father’s footsteps in the sport, his son is getting an early start, already driving a rig at age eight. “It’s three generations of pulling now,” said Joe Hoffart. While many drivers get their start through family connections, Hoffart said he is trying to attract a new generation to the sport. “You put them in the seat once they’re hooked – literally. It’s such a fun sport,” he said. And, it need not be super expensive to start, with many new drivers opting for a mini puller. “If you build it yourself . . . build it from scratch with used parts . . . you can do it pretty reasonably – under $5,000,” suggested Hoffart, adding to buy a competitive mini would be $15$20,000. It does help if you are something of a mechanic, added Hoffart, who
noted he was not especially adept at it early on. “Dad was a mechanic. I helped him pull wrenches but wasn’t really interested,” he said, adding he has since learned as a driver he had no real choice but to learn how to do fixes.
“It’s tough if you can’t do the work yourself,” he said, adding a key to the sport is sort of a ‘Zen’ patience. “. . . It’s knowing stuffs going to break. As long as you know things are going to break you won’t be disappointed when they do.”
The Hoffart rigs will be part of 50-60 trucks and tractors expected in Yorkton, plus the vintage tractors. “With the antiques there’ll be 100 hooks,” he said.
The Yorkton event has been a fixture on the PPL schedule for years. Hoffart said that is because it has community support from volunteers to sponsors supporting it. “The community stands behind it,” he said.
