Because of the house’s balloon framing, and its lathe-and-plaster walls, consisting of narrow strips of wood nailed horizontally across wall studs that are coated in plaster, the fire department had trouble reaching the attic, since a hole couldn’t be punched in the wall like it could be in more modern-built homes that use drywall.
The Manitoba Office of the Fire Commissioner told the Sun the fire was still under investigation and that the office had “nothing to add at this time.”The house, originally built in 1892, was constructed with “balloon framing,” Guillas said, which is a style of wood-house building that uses long, vertical two-

From left to right. Mayor Mitch Hippsley, Deb Sereda President of the Auxiliary and Yorkton MLA Greg Ottenbreit were in attendance to celebrate with members of the ANAVETS.
Sereda said the organization is actively looking for new members.

We should also mention Tafl games, reviewed here last week, given their Viking roots, and Konane is a checkerfamily offering from Hawaii that fits with the concept of games tied to a particular culture.
The games in Yorkton were part of a series of tourney’s leading up to the championship weekend to be hosted in Sturgis Sept. 24 and 25, where the top team will earn the Harvest Cup.
Heading into the final weekend of action the Moose Jaw Tommy Guns top the league with a 6-2 record with Regina
Chess is another that comes to mind. Not particularly the western version most here are familiar with, but rather some of the other cultural variants out Shogithere.for example is very much Japanese. Xiangqi is Chinese. Makruk is from Thailand and Shatar is Mongolian. Each is very much chess, but all have their own twists too.
Yorkton then dropped a 7-2 decision to the Saskatoon Plainsmen, with Stewart and Wizniak sniping the Olden Knight goals.The Olden Knights had one last chance to win on home soil facing Regina Southern Comfort

So which country’s culture does it belong? Or, can something be crosscultural in this case.
So that we don’t exactly embrace, promote, love and play a game to entwine it into our culture is not particularly surprising, although it is a tad distressing I suppose.But if you want to

Olden Knights win one of three Saturday on home soil.
For example, we might think of Go, a game held to be quite traditional within the culture of Japan. It certainly is a game with definite cultural elements entwined into it, from the unique way stones are picked out of a player’s bowl to the ‘clicking’ sound players make with their placement.But,Go was actually invented in China more than 2,500 years ago,
So for the next three weeks we are into a time of celebration in terms of our culture as Saskatchewan marks Culture Days.

LOA and Santorini are not part of our culture which lies with us as a people.Weas Canadians all too often fail to celebrate our own.

It was a funny, clearly Canadian flick but it was released 20 yearsAndago.who won the last Giller prize for Canadian literature? It’s likely most readers would not have answered Omar El Akkad for Strange Paradise without doing a Google search.
My personal favourite game is crokinole, and while it is often suggested, although not guaranteed, it was originally created in Canada and is a game that most would say is culturally Canadian, although it most likely should be.
In non-Yorkton action Saskatoon topped Regina 8-5, Sturgis edged Regina 10-9 in overtime, and then topped Saskatoon 9-8.
in 2020, no SFLL season took place due to provincial health guidelines which prohibited any provincial competition.

It’s the same generally with rod hockey. Its roots are almost assuredly Canadian and many of us, at least those over the age of 30-35 have played it, or at least aware of it, it would be hard to suggest it is culturally Canadian.Then there are fabulous games such as Santini and Lines of Action which are designed by Canadians Gordon Hamilton and Claude Soucie respectively but that doesn’t make them specifically Canadian.Again, perhaps that

quickly passed through, however while cycling the varying landscapes draw one’s attention in fact he said, “The prairies are absolutely stunningly beautiful.” Another item Peter noted on his journey were the trees. From the starting point in Tuktoyaktuk traveling south he noted that the further south he travelled the taller the trees got, from shrubs to the towering pines in the Rocky Mountains. However, upon leaving the mountains and traveling to the prairies the further he traveled from the rugged peaks, the shorter the trees once again became.

I have a lot of fun in my head. It keeps me occupied, if nothing else.)

After leaving the TDA Tour group Peter’s bike was laden down with the saddle bags containing his supplies. While with the group only the necessities for the days ride needed to be carried as the rest was transported by the tour vehicles, but for Peter the trip would not be over until he reached the shore of Wakaw Lake. He set off solo from Banff on August 21st heading first to Canmore for supplies of food. For this final leg of his journey, he spent the nights in hotels or motels along the route, being up and on the road by dawn. His travels took him through the communities of Banff – Cochrane – Airdrie – Drumheller – Hanna – Coronation –Provost – Unity – North Battleford – Blaine Lake – Rosthern – and finally Wakaw Lake. Although not enamoured by the accommodations available at Rosthern, he was happy to reach Wakaw and enjoy a latte at Town Shoppe and a meal at Wong’s before cycling the last two kilometres to their accommodations at Wakaw

Peter has been a recreational cyclist for most of his life and said he had previously completed a bicycle tour organized by TDA from Beijing to Siberia with his daughter. This trip from Tuktoyaktuk he said was originally planned for 2020 but the pandemic cancelled that. In 2021, Peter planned to join a TDA tour set to ride across Canada, however that tour too ended up being cancelled. His deposit however was not lost as he transferred it to this tour. During the tour this summer the group did experience a COVID outbreak just shortly after they set out, but the protocol had been established before they departed and the affected individuals were transported to a destination further ahead to isolate for six days and were symptom free before rejoining the tour. Ferris said that the outbreak was more of an annoyance that anything else as they all had to make a conscious effort to remain six feet apart when they were in camp, but they were quickly over it and enjoyed the camaraderie of the trip.
From Tuktoyaktuk to Wakaw Lake
Upon entering the prairies, he admitted to being somewhat surprised by the number of climbs he faced. In a motorized vehicle the gradual climbs are never felt, and the low hill ranges are
way. The course of the trip made stops at the following communities or campgrounds: Tuktoyaktuk – Tsiigehtichic – Fort MacPherson – Tombstone Campground – Dawson City – Carmacks –Braeburn Lodge –Whitehorse – Squanga Lake – Teslin – Watson Lake – Coal River –Strawberry Flats – Fort Nelson – Fort St John – Swan Lake – Grande Cache – Gregg Lake –Jasper – Wilcox Creek –Mosquito Creek – Banff
The small Arctic community of Tsiigehtichic, at the confluence of the McKenzie and Arctic Red Rivers, also stands out to Peter. Not only was the community very scenic, but one of the community leaders came to talk with the group and shared with them how he had left school at the age of sixteen so that he could learn to live off the land from his grandfather and from that experience he has been able to help preserve that knowledge.
Confident that I was alone I then closed the curtain and began … laughing.
I remember gazing in mirrors when I was in my twenties. Although I stared with a critical eye, my skin was supple and taut. As I enjoyed my thirties and forties, at least after succeeding with yet another diet, I would still admire myself this way. Then I entered the fifties. Within these years I’ve tried to avoid anything with a reflection at all. In fact, my bar has lowered to, “I’d like to at least look relatively decent in clothing.”Iwasinthe shower recently when suddenly I heard a loud bang. Because it had sounded eerily close by, I peeked around the shower curtain as I remembered a scene from the infamous movie Psycho, where a woman is stabbed while showering. (Truth: I’ve never watched this entire movie but the shower scene is well known for it’s musical score, if nothing else.)
It would start as one would expect. I’d turn, see my assailant and understandably gasp or scream, but in the scene from my movie … so would he. The unsuspecting sap would be so shocked by what his eyes were just exposed to that he’d either whip the
Nonetheless … after you reminisce about the many blessed years you had, when you did look good, proudly stuff your loose abdominal fat into your jeans and hoist those sagging breasts up from off your lap (Yes! Men too!). Then thank God that you still look as good as you do. In clothing, anyway!

I know. I know. You were expecting more uplifting and encouraging words. To this I say … remember what your body has been through. Give it a break. Some of you have children who have beaten you from the inside and out. Some of you have worked your fingers to the bone (which may prove useful. If your skin is worn off, it is more difficult to guess your age.)

experienced over a week of temperatures over 30 C and there was no snow anywhere. In fact, dipping his foot in the Arctic Ocean he found that it was warmer than the Pacific Ocean at Victoria. All across the North, he found the people and communities to be very welcoming and drivers were very conscientious of the cyclists on the roads. “Some of the fondest memories about the ride are mealtimes at camp or in restaurants.
across 6 continents. The distance covered each day Peter said, was anywhere from 60 – 120 km. Each rider could choose to ride the entire distance to be covered that day or to ride only to where the lunch truck would be waiting or ride from lunch truck location to the end of the daily route. The tour was accompanied by three vehicles to provide support to the riders. Anyone needing a lift, a mechanical assist or an extra snack for energy could flag one of them down.The accommodation on the tour Peter said, was arranged by TDA and was a combination of hotels and camping. Five or six days of each week were spent camping in a tent carried by the individual cyclists and 1-2 days each week were spent in hotels. Most meals were included in the tour cost, with the exception of
The camaraderie was amazing and there was always lots to discuss, either about the day’s upcoming ride or the ride just completed. I’ve never met a group of people who have met up for an event and everyone got on so well with every one else. Just an amazing group of people,” Peter shared on the blog he wrote documenting the trip.
There are many ways to get to Wakaw Lake, but few complete it on bicycle and fewer still bike from Tuktoyaktuk, NWT, which lies north of the Arctic Circle on the Arctic Ocean but one visitor to the lake this year did just that. Peter Ferris, a 70 years-young retiree flew from Victoria, British Columbia on July 3rd of this year, to Inuvik via Whitehorse to join the TDA Global Cycling tour group cycling from Tuktoyaktuk to Banff.
