Fentanyl found in Yorkton traffic stop

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The Yorkton RCMP is warning the public about the dangers of fentanyl after the drug was seized during a traffic stop in the city on May 25.

Analysis by Health Canada has revealed that the substances known as fentanyl, carfentanil, cyclopropylfentanyl, methoxyacetylfentanyl, furanylfentanyl and heroin were found in drugs seized during the incident.

Two individuals were charged following the incident, Linda Becker, 50, and Frederick Charles Severight, 29.

Due to fentanyl being found in the drugs seized during the traffic stop, the RCMP wants the public to be aware of the

signs of opioid overdose in order to help save lives if they come across someone who has taken fentanyl, either knowingly or unknowingly. Those signs include blue lips or nails, dizziness or confusion, difficulty waking, choking, gurgling or snoring sounds, slow, weak or no breathing and drowsiness or difficulty staying awake.

If someone encounters someone they believe has suffered from an opioid overdose, they need to call 911, administer naxolone if available, and stay with the person until help arrives.

The RCMP is also recommending that people get naxolone kits if they know someone who is taking opioids.

Rib event supports health foundation

Old fashioned picnic The Children’s Pioneer Days at the Western Development Museum proved that whether it’s 1818 or 2018, there are some pastimes that never get old.

Kids participated in an old time picnic, which

Your Community Connection

included a relay race that featured a variety of pioneer-inspired activities, finishing off with a sack race.

The 2018 edition of Rhythm ‘n Ribs turned a solid profit, allowing the event organizers to contribute $38,782 to the Health Foundation.

The presentation was made at a press conference Friday.

Health Foundation co-chair Diane Rusnak said the money will go to completing an upgrade to the laboratory facilities at the Sunrise Health Centre in Yorkton.

“The lab is a big part of the hospital here,” she said.

The hospital laboratory is the fourth busiest in the province, said Health Foundation Executive Director Ross Fisher, adding it serves people from a large area around the city.

The equipment upgrade at the laboratory will allow for faster test results which means quicker reports back to doctors, said Fisher.

Rhythm ‘n Ribs co-chairs Bruce Thurston and Ron Skinner said the donation was a gratifying one as it shows growth in terms of the event, which operated at a break-even level in year one.

“This year was a huge success,” said Thurston, “we made a lot of money that the Health Foundation can put toward the purchase of new equipment for the lab in the Yorkton Regional Hospital and we held an event that is good for Yorkton and Region.”

Building a foundation Workers are laying the groundwork for two soccer fields in Logan Green, setting up irrigation this week. Construction began last month with an expected

mid-autumn end date. It will then take over a year of the land to fully develop into two soccer fields.

Rhythm ‘n Ribs co-chairs Bruce Thurston, left, and Ron Skinner present a cheque for $38,782 from this year’s event to Health Foundation chair Diane Rusnak.

“Our goal when we started organizing this event two years ago was to create an event that people would enjoy, that people would attend in large numbers, and to have it be a free event that would be family friendly; the kind of event that would have something for everyone over the three days” continued Thurston. “We think we’ve succeeded.

That’s not to say we won’t be tweaking the event and trying to make it better, because we will be, but we think we’re on the right path and people are pleased with how everything is set up.”

Thurston said a key to a better year two was “we listened to patrons.”

Ron Skinner added, “There were over 15,000 who attended Rhythm ‘n Ribs again this year, so people must enjoy it. Last year was our first year and people were curious about the event, but they came out in huge numbers for a first year

“In the event of an overdose, using naloxone can save lives; even in the case of an opioid that has been mixed with a nonopioid. Take Home Naloxone (THN) kits are available for free to people at risk of an overdose and those in the community that interact frequently with those at

risk,” said Gary Shepherd, Saskatchewan Health Authority’s Director of Mental Health and Addictions Services in Yorkton in a release.

Those kits are available in the region at Stepping Stone Wellness Clinic - 306-542-1968, Kamsack Hospital, 341 Stewart Street, Kamsack

and Turning Point Program - 306-786-0637, 345 Broadway St. West, Yorkton.

The kits also come with training for people who either are at risk themselves or believe they may witness an overdose.

Last year, they heard people wanted longer hours and more bands than solo musicians.

Those changes definitely helped.

There was also interest in food that was not all barbecue-based. Six alternate food trucks selling things such as Mexican dishes, poutine, and deep fried desserts also helped.

The event broadened the entertainment package with a car show one day and a more familyfriendly atmosphere with activities for youngsters on Sunday.

Plans are already under way for year three, with dates set for July 26-28.

Party debt alarming

Politics When it comes to which parties running up big debt, the numbers speak for themselves.

Let us be clear that no party holds the monopoly on big spending.

While the Roy Romanow/Lorne Calvert New Democrats were rather tight-fisted, their government also made bone-headed investments in U.S. high-tech and growing potatoes that cost Saskatchewan taxpayers millions of dollars.

That said, its combination of cuts and high taxes did bring public debt back down to around $10 billion by the time the Calvert government was voted out in 2007.

Similarly, the Tommy Douglas government of the 1940s, ‘50s and ‘60s along with the Allan Blakeney government of the 1970s did balance the books — at least when it came to the general revenue fund.

However, their governments’ penchant to invest heavily in Crown Corporations like the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan ultimately meant higher taxes and not saving money we might otherwise had in in a Heritage Fund.

But accumulated public debt was actually rather minimal under Douglas and Blakeney — a stark contrast to what’s happened under the right-wing Progressive Conservatives of 1980s and the Saskatchewan Party of today.

In the case of the Grant Devine PCs, it was an added billion dollars a year in public debt for the entire decade of its existence.

Not only did it fail to present a single balanced budget but it also added massive Crown debt through spending in areas like the old Saskatchewan Economic Development Corporation (Sedco) and megaprojects in the major utility Crowns.

In fairness, this big spending did have its positive elements.

Massive agricultural spending kept farmers on the land in drought years and we all benefitted from huge tax breaks like the (temporary) elimination of the gas tax.

Similarly, public investment in natural gas lines and the Rafferty-Alameda/Shand projects kept us warm and kept the lights on.

But we have all wound up in the end paying for public debt that increased from about $3 billion when the PCs entered office to $13 billion when they left.

Of course, debt went down to as low as $7.9 billion in the early days of the Sask. Party Premier Brad Wall during the high oil and potash prices a decade ago.

However, since then unbalanced budget and borrowing for big capital spending has us headed towards an expected 22.8 billion by 2021.

Yes, Wall and current Premier Scott Moe have also delivered new hospitals, schools and highways. But the Sask. Party is also now on track for an added billion dollars a year in debt.

Recently, Sask. Party cabinet authorized in an order-in-council the power to borrow up to $6 billion if “the general revenue fund is or will be insufficient to meet the charges and expenses”.

This follows $1.7 billion in borrowing from the open markets in the last Ken Krawetz budget and first Kevin Doherty — borrowing around the time of the 2016 election.

The Sask. Party government insisted this was no big deal and still take that approach.

In a recent tweet, Wall noted that Saskatchewan continues to have the secondlowest debt-to-GDP ratio, did receive a AAA rating and had reduced operating debt.

The problem is, comparing yourself with the bad record of other provinces is a weak argument. And lower operating debt and improved borrowing rating will not last as deficit budgets and operating debt mount.

That this government loves capital spending — $1.6 billion on capital projects in 2018-19 alone that will contribute to $2.3 billion to more debt this year — is obviously one problem.

But more borrowing now adding to rising public debt is a far bigger problem the government must start to take seriously.

Notwithstanding their rhetoric, conservativeminded governments just haven’t been all that conservative when it comes to debt.

Government will face questions as election nears

T

he Saskatchewan Government Employees Union has a billboard in the city asking a rather simple question, but one which is likely to be an overriding one when the province next heads to the polls: “MLA Greg Ottenbreit: Where did the money go?”

It is a question Saskatchewan Party MLAs and candidates will have to compellingly answer if they expect to hold onto their current majority in the Legislature.

The Saskatchewan Party first took power in Saskatchewan in 2007, right on the eve of arguably the best economic times in the province’s history.

Powered by a then ravenous Chinese economy that punched commodity prices to historic highs in some cases, the province prospered. When crude oil eclipsed $100 a barrel, it pulled other commodities higher, too, and the Saskatchewan economy prospered, which meant good times in terms of provincial government revenues.

But, commodity prices that go up are bound to go down. It is the cyclical nature of the beast.

The Saskatchewan Party lost track of that truism. They spent the increased revenues on programs and projects that required funding in the years ahead, even if revenues slowed.

No one will argue there wasn't a pent-up need for spending in the province. Highways, bridges, hospitals, and schools were showing their age and needed attention. Frankly, the efforts in those areas have barely scratched the surface in terms of need.

The infrastructure deficit is massive

in Saskatchewan, as it is across the country.

Yorkton residents can certainly attest to that with aging streets pocked with holes in the pavement, sidewalks in need of replacement, and underground water and sewer years beyond its expected life.

Of course, not all the money went to repairs: a new football stadium and a massive bypass project around Regina took millions of dollars, too.

Then the Chinese economy cooled, commodity prices declined, government revenues shrank, and the province was in the red. The good times had not provided taxpayers with a buffer and suddenly it was belt-tightening time in Regina.

Municipalities saw decades-old contracts regarding grants-in-lieu disappear and that meant a major decline in dollars for Yorkton, about enough annually to cover the resurfacing project being undertaken on Broadway Street every year.

Gone too were services such as STC, the bus service which had for decades connected the communities of the province to one another.

So the question of where the money went is a legitimate one.

When there was the gravy of the good times, smart business would have suggested some be put away for the bad times you know are coming. Instead, we saw spending cuts and off loading to deal with the provincial deficit and so the questions will be asked and need to be answered.

Letter to the Editor

A5

History Corner The New - Second Yorkton site

MLA responds to SGEU sign Dear Editor: Chances are you have seen the billboards in Yorkton – the ones asking me specifically “Where Did The Money Go?” I was happy to answer this question when it was raised by the NDP in the lead up to the last election, and I am happy to do it again for the SGEU. The money went to Saskatchewan people.

The money went to over $5.5 billion in cumulative tax relief, including the largest education property tax reduction in Saskatchewan history.

112,000 Saskatchewan people no longer pay any provincial income tax at all.

The money went to pay down the operating debt of the province, saving $1 billion in interest payments. Even with recent deficits, our operating debt is still 10 per cent lower than it was in 2008.

From highway repairs and bridge replacements to hospitals and housing, over $27 billion went to new and improved infrastructure that had long been neglected under the NDP. The money paid for 840 new teaching positions, 173 more student support teachers, and helped to build 40 new and replacement schools. It also went toward capital improvements at several local schools including Yorkton Regional High, St. Paul’s School and St. Alphonsus School.

The money went to needed health care infrastructure like the new Saskatchewan Hospital

in North Battleford and the much-anticipated Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon. It was invested in long-term care facilities and supports for seniors, including the tripling of benefits under the Seniors Income Plan.

The money went to almost 900 more doctors, more than 3,700 additional nurses of every designation, and helped us to more than double the funding for the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency. It also went to a successful surgical wait time initiative that took our wait times for surgery from the very longest in the country under the NDP to among the very shortest today.

The money went back to Saskatchewan municipalities in a variety of ways, including targeted police initiatives and a Municipal Revenue Sharing program that has delivered a 118 per cent funding increase to the City of Yorkton.

The money went to thousands of new child care spaces with more being added every year, it has helped to more than double the supports provided to people with disabilities, and it went to increase support for child and family programs.

That’s where the money went.

If SGEU members wonder where their money went, they’ll find it in the form of ominous-looking billboards in Yorkton and communities across the province.

Greg Ottenbreit,

Station buildings completed — many structures in the course of erection — This was the opening statement of the Yorkton Column in the Manitoba Daily Free Press of Winnipeg November 12, 1890: The station buildings including tank, etc. are now almost completed, most of the carpenters having gone east.

Among the buildings now in the course of erection at the new town site may be mentioned: Two stores Messrs.

Livingstone and Thornton; a stone school, size 20 x 30 feet, inside, the walls are completed; and a livery stable. Several others have stated their intention of building. There is an opening here for a good hotel.

Dr. Watson of this place has been attending to the Natives at Fort Pelly, reports a large number of cases of scarlet fever there, but all doing well. Delegates from Dakota, who were here some few weeks back, say that a number of families from that part will settle near here next spring.

Several wells have been dug on the new town site, and an ample supply of good water obtained at an average depth of eighteen feet. A number of Danish families are also expected next spring

to settle in New Denmark, a settlement about twenty miles from here. Mr. Wesley Jackson of Toronto, late of Wallace, is expected here shortly. He is bringing in a carload of horses. Owing to the exceptionally heavy yield of grain this year, the threshers are making slow progress. Revival services are being conducted at Orkney by the Rev Lawford and McKay. The Yorkton flour mill is running full time. The Yorkton school closes on the 18th instant. (More details next week about the new, second site of Yorkton.)

Maintaining furnace important SaskEnergy and its network of plumbing and heating contractors are teaming up on a project to promote the importance of maintaining your natural gas space heating equipment. The Tune-Up Assistance Program (TAP) for low income homeowners provides a hands-on examination of a home’s heating equipment to make sure it is ready for the onset of cooler temperatures.

Applications are now being accepted from lowincome homeowners with a combined annual income of no more than $68,000. Renters/rental properties are not eligible. Only those selected will receive this onetime offer of a SaskEnergy Network Home Heating Tune-Up at no charge and as an added safety measure each homeowner will be provided with a multi-gas detector that detects both natural gas and carbon monoxide.

TAP serves as a reminder to all Saskatchewan homeowners about the importance of furnace maintenance and cleaning or replacing furnace filters every 1-2 months during the winter heating season.

Dirty filters will reduce airflow and force the furnace to run longer, possibly leading to costly repairs, poor indoor air quality, or no service when it is most needed.

Shannon Doka, Community Involvement Leader with SaskEnergy, said “Annual maintenance of your home heating system is cost-effective compared to purchasing a new furnace or boiler. Regular maintenance can help ensure your system is operating safely and at peak efficiency, improving overall home comfort and reducing the risk of emergency repairs and keeping your family safe. Targeting low-income homeowners is a way to give back to those in our community and assist eligible families in need – benefiting them with this important piece of home maintenance.”

“Safety is a very, very important feature and if you can’t afford to get it done yourself, it’s helpful that SaskEnergy is out there doing this program for people that can’t afford it. And everyone needs to be safe.” stated Shane Haddad, TAP participant.

Participating communities are selected based on the location of SaskEnergy Network Members who provide the SaskEnergy Network Home Heating TuneUp service, these include: Carlyle, Emerald Park, Esterhazy, Estevan, Eston, Foam Lake, Gravelbourg, Hudson Bay, Kindersley, Martensville, Melfort, Moose Jaw, Nipawin, North Battleford, Paradise Hill, Prince Albert, Regina, Saskatoon, Swift Current, Tisdale, Unity, Wadena, Wakaw, Watrous, Weyburn and Yorkton. Applications under the Tune-Up Assistance Program (TAP) are accepted if you are located in one of the communities listed or within a 20 km radius.

More information about TAP and how to apply is available at saskenergy.com.

Francophone survives report Recently, Provincial Secretary Nadine Wilson received the Advisory Committee on Francophone Affairs’ latest report for bettering French-language services across government. As a result of the Advisory Committee’s meetings, the Committee has submitted two additional recommendations.

These recommendations include developing government-wide guidelines for the delivery of French-language services and a communications plan to ensure equal distribution and understanding across government.

“Keeping the French

language and culture vibrant is important.

I am pleased that the Advisory Committee on Francophone Affairs has submitted additional recommendations to make this possible,” said Wilson. “I would like to thank the committee for its continued work.”

Since its inception in 2009, the Advisory Committee has met 24 times and submitted 15 reports with recommendations.

Recommendations touch on improving services in areas such as economic development, education, immigration, health, social services, tourism and justice programming

for Francophones in our province.

“We are proud of the work done so far by the Government of Saskatchewan,” said Advisory Committee on Francophone Affairs Chair Michel Dubé.

“We’re looking forward to more progress in the future. It is important that we learn from one another’s successes when supporting the development and vitality of the Fransaskois community.”

Kienle goes to school as councillor

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yorkton Councillor Aaron Kienle was back in school recently.

Kienle, in his first term on council, attended the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association Summer School held at the University of Regina.

“I believe in the past it was a Mayor’s program, but this year they opened it up to municipal councillors,” said Kienle, who added he jumped at a

chance to attend seeing it “as another opportunity to learn and get educated.”

Much as the learning came from the interaction over three days with the other participants. Kienle said the event was a nice middle ground between the SUMA AGM which is so large it is almost intimidating, and regional SUMA events which involves only councillors in the local area.

With about 100 attending the school it was a chance “to learn about issues they are facing,” said Kienle.

The actual sessions covered a range of topics such as Malcolm Eaton sharing his experiences from 10-years as mayor of Humboldt.

“That was a really good first session,” said Kienle.

Yorkton’s Mayor Bob Maloney and City Manager Lonnie Kaal gave a presentation on the Council-Administration dynamic. The relationship between the two is essential for a smoothly operated municipality, and the session

focused on understanding the difference between council’s role as policy makers and the role of administration.

“They discussed how it’s supposed to function,” said Kienle, adding it comes down to understanding what a Councillor “can do, and can’t do.”

A session was also held focusing on women in politics.

The cost of attending the school was covered by the City, with the opportunity available to all Councillors.

Extinguish hunger Yorkton Fire Protective Services and the Salvation Army Food Bank worked together with the Extinguish Hunger campaign, an effort to put food back on the shelves at the food bank in Yorkton. While the exact value of the amount

raised is not known at press time, the food bank received two trucks filled with food as a result of the campaign, which set up shop at Save-On Foods and Superstore.

Supper in support of old mill set

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Brick Mill Heritage Society will host its second annual Heritage Dinner as a fundraiser towards fixing up the old mill in the city.

“Last year’s sold out Canada 150 Heritage Dinner allowed the Yorkton Brick Mill Heritage Society to retire our debt, and together with ongoing fundraising efforts, our focus of permanently preserving and improving the Brick Mill continues,” said Larry Pearen, a Society director, at a press conference Monday.

The upcoming dinner will be hosted Sept. 26, at St. Gerard’s Hall.

The Heritage Dinner is designed not only as a fundraiser for the Yorkton Brick Mill, but as a showcase for heritage in our community and to demonstrate the important role it has played and

will continue to play in the development of our City, explained Pearen.

This year’s Heritage Dinner will have two guest speakers: Kristin Catherwood, Saskatchewan Heritage, who will discuss ‘Untangling Intangible Cultural Heritage’ and Kenn Propp who will share ‘Harvest Meats – The History of a 90 year old family business’.

Pearen also took the opportunity at Monday’s press conference to mark several sizeable donations to the Society.

“We are pleased to announce that Harvest Meats, in their celebration of 90 years, will be our Diamond Brick sponsor – our Title Sponsor!

Harvest Meats has been a supporter of this Brick Mill project since the beginning and we thank them for their generous support,” he said.

Propp said he recognizes “the importance of

He called the mill a sort of “Waterloo in the city” in terms of being a last chance to

preserve a building of such vintage, and that is an important undertaking.

Yorkton Mayor Bob

Maloney noted, “Council hasn’t always been supportive of the effort,” but with the Society formed and strides being

made that view point is changing.

“I think there will be support for this moving forward,” he said, adding “we don’t have very many historical buildings left.”

In addition, The Yorkton Business Improvement District made a donation of $25,000 over five years.

Yorkton Co-op Association donated $10,000 from their Building Community Fund to help with our foundation and east wall stabilization project.

David Dungey, owner of Canadian Tire, donated five Colorado Spruce trees to add to landscaping at the Brick Mill site.

Additional trees, benches and historical signage will improve the site for all to enjoy.

Tickets for the upcoming supper are $50, with a tax receipt of $25, and are available from all Society directors.

Scott Moe meets supporters in Yorkton

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Premier Scott Moe was in Yorkton on Aug. 16, meeting constituents and speaking to people from the region about the government’s plan for the province.

“We represent the people across the province, and this is an opportunity for us to visit each of the communities and thank them for their guidance and their support, and also talk to them about where they are going over the next number of months and next number of years.”

In his travels, Moe said that one of the things he has been hearing clearly is that people in the province are concerned about the plans for a carbon tax in Canada. His opposition to the proposal being well known, Moe wanted to make it clear that he feels the Saskatchewan government’s ideas will be more effective.

“We have a much better plan, a plan that will have actual results and a plan that will work for Saskatchewan industries like agriculture, mining and manufacturing.”

Moe was also coming in after the cabinet shuffle which saw Lyle Stewart leave the agriculture portfolio to focus on his health.

“He has the support of all of our cabinet, our caucus, and I know people across the province.”

The result was Lori Carr moving to the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure, to allow Dave Marit to become the

new Minister of Agriculture.

“I think it’ll be a great fit for that file in the fact that he has been involved in agriculture all his life... He already has a strong relationship with many of the stakeholders that we have enjoyed such a positive relationship with for the past 11 years.”

Not everyone, however, appreciated Moe. On billboards at the entrance to the city, SGEU asked MLA Greg Ottenbreit, “Where did the money go?” Moe had an answer.

“The money, part of it went into the highway that was repaved on the way out here... That’s where some of the money went, in the record highway investment, not just in and around the Yorkton area, but across the province. We’ve seen the twinning of highway 11 between Saskatoon and Prince Albert, passing lanes now occurring in numerous places across the province. The money has gone to the children’s hospital in Saskatoon and the new Saskatchewan hospital that serves not only the people in North Battleford but people across the province in that 100 year old facility that we were able to replace thanks to thorough advocacy from our two ministers of health.

“It has went into the Regina bypass and the investment of infrastructure that has been focused on safety. Safety for the people who are travelling on that highway to ensure that we can get the transport loads around the city of Regina

Scott Moe speaks to constituents at the Sask Party barbecue on Aug. 16 in a safe manner... The money has went to infra-

structure and into services across the province.”

Telling people where the money went is part of

the goal of events where the Saskatchewan Party goes out to meet constituents, Moe said.

“These are investments we have heard about over the past 11 years at events just like this barbecue here in Yorkton, these are investments that we continue to talk to people at these events about, so that we can ensure that we get back to balance in these province and preserve the opportunity to invest in just those type of projects into the future, to the next generation, to your children, to my children, and set it up so the generation after that can have every opportunity.”

Representing 8 Different Farm Insurance Companies Including www.farrellagencies.com

Changes to way we farm are coming The face of farming could see some rather dramatic changes in the years just ahead as new rules, regulations and realities begin to be imposed from above and felt at the farm level.

Recent farm publication headlines suggest some dramatic changes could lie just ahead.

One of the first changes might not seem especially significant, but it is an example of the reasons farmers may see changes in what they are allowed to do on their farmers.

Health Canada is proposing an end the use of strychnine to control ground squirrels and is seeking public input on the matter until Sept. 27.

The proposal stems from a regular review of pesticides under the Pest Management Regulatory Agency.

Health Canada has said strychnine kills ground squirrels,

also commonly called gophers, in its consultation document. However, and not surprisingly, they also noted it also kills non-target species that might eat either the poison-treated grain used to attract gophers or scavengers that eat the dead rodents. That is bad news for all sorts of animals, hawks, owls, ravens, coyotes and perhaps most significantly in creating a push for a ban, the endangered burrowing owl and swift fox.

There is clearly a demand from the broader general public to preserve biodiversity whenever possible, and the efforts to protect the burrowing owl and swift fox have been significant as the pair are basically the poster children for disappearing native Prairie and its natural inhabitants.

No farmer wants to see the owls, foxes or

Agriculture THIS WEEK

Calvin Daniels other animals killed either, but they do recognize a need to control the ground squirrel as it burrows and mounds are a danger to cattle and machinery, and strychnine has been a tool in that control.

But there are increased environmental concerns at play now, and that may well mean a ban on strychnine in the not so distant future.

And, in terms of environmental concerns there has been significant media coverage over bee deaths and the loss of wild pollinators.

More than one accusing finger has been pointed at the family of insecticides known as neonicotinoids as one of the culprits.

Well, over the next five years neonicotinoids will be phased out for Canadian use.

The pesticide, used in Western Canada mainly as a seed treatment, will be unavailable to farmers in some forms beginning in 2021.

The decision comes down from the federal Pest Management Regulatory Agency, a decision which follows

an earlier move by the European Union to eliminate it. In the U.S. regulators have gone the other direction, opening up its use in some cases.

This will again have an impact on how farmers do things in Western Canada as neonicotinoids are used to control a range of crop pests such as flea beetles in canola, and seed corn maggot, in peas, pea-leaf weevil and wireworms in wheat and other crops.

Certainly the area of crop protection products will be the one where environmental concern pressures will likely have their greatest effect.

But others factors will have an impact too.

Glyphosate is a widely used weed control product which has come under major scrutiny in the last few years in terms of whether the herbicide first brought

to the market in 1974, causes cancer.

Recently a California jury found Monsanto liable in a lawsuit filed by a man who alleged the company’s glyphosate-based products, including the oft-farm used Roundup, caused his cancer and ordered the company to pay $289 million in damages. It is estimated the company faces more than 5,000 similar lawsuits across the United States.

While there will no doubt be appeals dragging on for years, the final result could again cause a major change in how farmers manage their crops.

Change is constant in all things, but farmers appear to be facing a number of major ones based on new looks at old products.

Good weather helps with harvest Harvest is proceeding quickly in the province, due to the recent hot and dry weather.

Five per cent of the crop is now combined and nine per cent is swathed or ready to straight-cut, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s weekly Crop Report.

The five-year (2013-2017) average for this time of year is three per cent combined and four per cent swathed or ready to straight-cut.

Seventy-one per cent of the fall rye, 24 per cent of the

spring wheat, 21 per cent of the field peas, 20 per cent of the lentils, three per cent of the durum and barley and one per cent of the spring wheat and oats are now in the bin.

Six per cent of the canola has been swathed or prepared for straight-cutting.

Harvest is most advanced in the southwest, where 10 per cent of the crop is combined.

The southeastern region has eight per cent combined and the west-central and eastcentral regions two per cent.

Producers in the north have

less than one per cent of the crop in the bin, but many expect to be in the field soon.

The majority of the province did not receive any rainfall last week, although the Nipawin area reported 19 mm of rain, the Spiritwood area 22 mm and the Meadow Lake area 29 mm.

Any further rainfall will come too late for many of the crops still in the field, as they are rapidly drying down.

Topsoil moisture conditions have significantly worsened with the hot and dry conditions.

Across the province, topsoil

moisture conditions on cropland are rated as 31 per cent adequate, 44 per cent short and 25 per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 24 per cent adequate, 38 per cent short and 38 per cent very short.

Most crop damage this past week was due to lack of moisture, wind and extreme temperatures. Many southern and central areas of the province recorded temperatures well above 35 C for a number of days last week; some areas such as Moose Jaw

reported temperatures above 40 C. These high temperatures have caused crops to dry down rapidly, and yield and quality may be affected. There have been reports of stubble and combine fires in drier areas.

Producers are busy combining, swathing crops and hauling bales.

There are three inevitabilities in our universe: Death, gravity, and getting unexpectedly trapped in summer construction. You can plan for it, fight it, deny its existence; it will find you and delay your road journey by precious minutes.

We shouldn’t complain, but we do anyway.

We complain when our roads have more bumps than a bloated toad, then we complain when construction crews try to fix them. If every road was perfectly smooth and polished, we’d probably complain that they make us drive too fast so we can’t appreciate the scenery. We all love to whine.

Construction conniptions I’m no different. In Halifax, when I traveled by foot and the occasional bus, summer construction was no sweat of my brow. It was something that happened to other people. But now that I have a car, I can see the clarity of construction crankiness. It hit me like a bullet last Thursday.

As you know, our film selection in Yorkton is usually quite...thin. I was hungry for a non-Mamma Mia 2 movie, so I checked the Regina theatre showtimes. I noticed the Rainbow theatre was playing “Blindspotting,” an apparently criticallyacclaimed small drama.

Since I had some free

SEAN MOTT

Settling in... time, I decided to make the trek to the Queen City.

The first half of the drive was smooth sailing.

Minimal traffic, stronger radio signal, the whole deal. It all screeched to a halt when I descended into Fort Qu’Appelle.

The biggest valley in the province was at a

standstill. Cars and trucks were stuck at the foot of the hill. Traffic stretched upwards and over the horizon. I craned my neck out of the window, looking for the accident causing the hold-up.

I saw the familiar yellow hard hats and I knew it was no accident.

The summer construc-

tion trap had caught me, I put my car in park and stared ahead.

Minutes crawled by. Time slipped away from me.

The movie showtime inched closer and closer, and I was nowhere near Regina. “Blindspotting” slipped away from me.

I quietly raged at the sky, cursing my bad luck and timing. I begged the traffic to move to no avail.

I cranked the radio dial to a hard rock station to match my frustration.

But as the seconds ticked by, I started to reflect. The construction might’ve annoyed me, but it’s necessary. Road workers are the unsung summer heroes. In fact, we

often paint them as villains. But they spend hours in the smothering heat trying to make our highways and sidestreets semi-functional. They repair the tears and potholes we create. Sitting in my car, stuck in construction traffic, I gained perspective. I saw the big picture.

I never saw “Blindspotting.” I made it to Regina 30 minutes late for the showtime.

Luckily, I was able to see “Sorry to Bother You,” an ambitious dark comedy about telemarketers, communism, and horse mutants.

Construction can lead you to some weird places.

Pairs is addictive time filler game Every once in a while you lay your hands on a game not exactly expecting too much from it, and it simply blows your socks off.

Pairs, by designers James Ernest and Paul Peterson, is just such a game.

Pairs is a card game, so the package is small, and unassuming, which I suppose is a large part of why not a lot was expected as the cellophane was tore off.

But this is not an ordinary card deck like the one used for cribbage and rummy.

Instead it uses what the ruleset terms a ‘triangular’ deck. The deck contains the numbers 1 through 10, with one-one, two-twos, three-threes, and so on.

So like a standard deck of cards you can play many different games with your Pairs deck. There are actually a couple of dozen games created for a Pairs deck, available for free download at www.playpairs. com, but for today I will focus on the core game and a couple of its variants.

So in the primary Pairs game there is no winner, just one loser.

“In each round, players will take turns drawing cards, until one person either folds or gets

THE MEEPLE GUILD (Yorkton) meeple.guild@gmail.com a pair. Either of these scores points and points are bad. The first player with too many points loses,” explains the ruleset.

Pairs is called a pub game, and that is where the idea of the single loser comes into play. If you like, you can choose a penalty for the loser. The loser could tell a joke, buy a round of drinks, make a funny noise, or whatever is appropriate for your group, explains the rules.

The rules are very simple for the basic game.

“On your turn you have two choices: You may hit (take a card), or fold. If you catch a pair, or fold, the round is over and you score points. If not, play passes to the left.

“When you hit, you’re hoping not to get a pair (any two cards of the same rank). If you pair up, you score that many points. For example, if you catch a pair of eights,

you score eight points.

Keep those cards, faceup, to track your score.”

You play until someone hits the predetermined point threshold, 16 in a four-player game as an example, and they are the loser.

The game plays quickly, is ridiculously simple, and yet the urge to play another round is frightfully addictive. One game is never enough, and while this is an ideal filler game, it can chew through an hour of gaming time very easily.

And then there are the variants.

“Continuous Pairs is nearly the same as basic Pairs, except that when a player pairs up or folds, only that player’s cards are discarded. Everyone else keeps their cards, and that player is still in, currently, with an empty stack. This game is basically one long round, instead of several short ones,” explains the ruleset.

This is certainly our favoured way to play the game as it keeps things flowing without tossing cards every time someone scores a point.

There are also a number of poker-inspired variations, all which has

New Chief Coroner installed Clive Weighill has been appointed Chief Coroner for Saskatchewan effective September 15, 2018.

Weighill is the former chief of the Saskatoon Police Service and former President of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police. He has more than 40 years of experience with the justice system in Saskatchewan.

“Mr. Weighill has devoted his life to public service in our province. He has the knowledge, skills and experience necessary to lead and transform this important work into the future,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Don Morgan said. “I am

proud that we are able to attract someone with Mr. Weighill’s talent and abilities for the role of Chief Coroner.”

In addition to his work experience, Weighill has also been awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee

the loser of around paying chips to other players, which then sets up for an actual winner-based on the largest stack of chips.

Another little twist is the game ‘Calamities.’

In the Calamities variant, the sevens are bad

luck or ‘calamities’.

The core element here is that if you are dealt a 7, the turn stays on you.

In Continuous Pairs, as an example, this is true even when the 7 gives you a pair, so you will discard your cards and immediately receive another card.

And finally we get to Pieces of Eight.

In this variant, eights are special. If you have an eight, you have a third option,which is to discard the eight and take two cards.

“Two cards might seem riskier than one, but at least you get rid of an 8,”notes the ruleset.

Is this a great game in the same realm as chess or dominion? No, but that said in the realm of simple fun it ranks very high. This is a game that will see your table often, and for longer than you think when you first grab the deck. A definite must have game.

Thanks to fellow gamers Jeff Chasse, Trevor Lyons and Adam Daniels for their help in running through this game for review.

Blackjack Billy will be at the Painted Hand Casino Saturday performing their brand of country rock.

Time for some ‘redneck rock’ If you like you country spiced with rock and energy then you best mark Saturday, Aug. 25 on your calendar.

That is the day Blackjack Billy hits the stage at the Painted Hand Casino.

Blackjack Billy is an American country rock group based in Nashville.

Guitarist Jeff Coplan, who hails from Montreal but moved to New York when he was 19, told Yorkton This Week the band draws on a varied range of musical interests to come up with their sound.

“Being four guys we have a broad range of musical influences, from AC/DC to Tupac to The Beatles to The Eagles to Garth Brooks to David Bowie; all the way to Prince and too many more in between to mention,” he said.

The result is a sound they have called ‘Redneck Rock.’

The current line-up of Blackjack Billy has Noll Billings from Kennett, which is in the Boot Heel of Missouri, as the lead singer. Bassist Clayton

Shay is from Bloomington IL, and Weston Jordan is born and raised in Nashville, and Coplan.

“Noll and I met as songwriters in Nashville in 2012,” said Coplan. “We hit it off immediately and started writing regularly together. Soon we had a few songs we loved that we realized we didn’t want to pitch to other artists.

“The style of music we were naturally writing made us real-

ly want to perform them live so right then we decided to start a band. We bought a used converted airport shuttle bus, hit the road and haven’t turned back yet. Wes has been with us for a little over a year and Clay is the newest young blood.

He’s been with us for about sixmonths.”

Their debut single, ‘The Booze Cruise,’ was independently released in March 2013.

In 2014 the debut disk Rebel

comes to writing.

“There’s no one way we come up with a song,” said Coplan. “Sometimes it’s a song title that sparks everything, other times it’s a guitar riff I may come up with.

“We definitely spend the most time crafting the lyrics, often going back after the initial write and reworking it until we are happy with every line.”

So through the process what is Coplan’s favourite song?

“It’s hard to come up with one specific thing,” said Coplan. “I think in general we get the most joy when we see fans singing along to something we wrote with big smiles on their faces. That’s when we realize we have helped in our own little way to make somebody’s day just a bit better.

“That extends to the heartfelt stories we hear from some fans that have used our music to help them through hard times.

“It never gets lost on us the positive power that music has and we are super proud to be able to create some and share it.”

Child hit the streets.

“Noll and I are the principal song writers,” said Coplan.“We write often just the two of us, usually while traveling.

“We also co-write with a variety of Nashville songwriters.

That’s the beauty of Nashville, it’s such a collaborative town and there are so many talented writers.”

Coplan said they draw from all sorts of influences when it

Sit down with me for a moment and let’s have a cup of tea and talk about beans. I know we’ve chatted about the beautiful, productive, and unique beans that we’ve enjoyed growing the last few years. We got these bean seeds from Warren Crossman, and while the seeds were selected at first because they were so beautiful, we continued to grow them because of the great results.

This year we added another bean experiment: borlotti beans.

These beans were a lastminute addition to our garden, planted in an arid and desolate-looking corner where we had just cut down a dying spruce. The beans were planted in an attempt to restore some nutrients to that poor soil. We didn’t expect them to actually produce anything. But lo and behold, they came up beautifully, gifting us with the red and white freckled pods that aptly earn the name “cranberry bean”.

As we can guess, this bean originally comes from Italy, and is used in Italian cuisine. But many cultures enjoy the benefits of this beefy bean.

It is low in fat and very high in fibre. This was our first time growing them, and they like the full sun and well-drained soil of any bean variety.

But these are called “drying” beans, so you can enjoy them shelled and fresh, or let them mature and dry out on the vine, then shell them and use

DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

Gardener’s Notebook them in a hearty soup or stew on a blustery winter day to remind you of hot summer days!

Still in the same branch of the bean family, I did some homework about a bean cousin, the broad bean. We were talking with a dear friend and avid gardener who told us about her broad bean crop. It made me think of the broad beans Mom used to grow, and how delicious they were simply steamed, then dotted with butter and sprinkled with salt and pepper. Mmm! That and a couple of Mom’s homemade buns made it a meal fit for a king!

I read that broad beans are one of the oldest cultivated plants, going back thousands of years and providing not only food but nitrogen for the soil and a solid plant to help ease soil erosion. While other beans are softer in growing habit and perhaps climbers, the broad bean plant is strong and upright, with the beans

forming along the sturdy stalk. The plant is hardy, but it is sometimes a victim of various fungus diseases. No matter — it is a bean worth growing! It likes full sun and welldrained soil, but can do well in poor soils, too.

Like the borlotti bean, you can eat this bean at various stages: the tender, very young pods can be eaten, or wait until the beans mature and then shell them and enjoy!

And here’s some bean trivia: why are they called broad beans? Because of their wide, flat shape!

Whatever variety you choose, beans are wonderful friends to the garden, bringing valuable nitrogen to the soil. And they are easy to grow and seem to keep producing as long as we keep picking!

Visit the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society at www.yorktonhort.ca, and see what’s coming up (pardon the pun!). Have a great week and be sure to wear a hat!

Our grandbean takes an important step on the walk of faith Tabatha.

Butterfly Bean. Water baby. Newly baptized Christian. As a grandmother with a passion to see her grandchildren following Jesus, that last one thrills me.

Nearby water has a magnetic attraction for our grandbeans, especially during the dog days of summer. Our warm weather visits to nearby Good Spirit Lake, where the Beans live during the summer, almost always include, if not a swim, at least a few moments of wading.

Like her mother and me, Tabatha has an affinity for natural bodies of water. Creek, lake, stream, puddle - if it’s hot and she’s beside it, she’ll soon be in it. On one such day while holidaying near a cold northern lake with her brother, grandfather and I, we walked to the shore and stood on the dock. “I wish I’d worn my swimsuit,” she said.

“I’d jump in.”

“Never stopped me when I was your age,” I told her. Seconds later, she launched.

Kathleen Gibson (www.kathleengibson.ca) is a Yorkton-based author and speaker.

Sunny Side Up kathleen@kathleengibson.ca

“Nana, come in here,” she called when she surfaced, streaming and smiling. “It’s SO BEAUTIFUL!” Some pleasures have

lost the attraction they had for me as a child.

But that day, after my initial intake of breath, the chilly embrace of Lake Deschambault felt as sweet as the glassysurfaced mountain lakes and oceanside beaches I swam in at ten. Sheer bliss.

When she asked if her granddad and I would attend her baptism, it didn’t surprise me to hear that it would take place at Good Spirit Lake. Her church has a lovely warm baptismal tank; optimal temperature for a dunking. No algae. No roar of motor boats or vacation-

ers’ voices drowning out the words of the pastor or baptismal candidate.

But Jesus got baptized in a river and Good Spirit Lake – God’s Lake, as it was once called by some, (thanks, Joyce Anaka) seemed right to Tabatha.

Me too.

On the evening of her baptism, the temperature, which had soared to around forty Celsius two days prior, had fallen below room temperature – with wind. At the lakeshore, Tabatha drew in the sand with her toe and shyly explained to her friends and family members, gathered to cheer her on, how her faith in God and love for Jesus Christ had motivated her to obey his call to be baptized as a testimony to her growing faith.

In a moment she would walk into the lake wearing only a swimsuit. “Cold water doesn’t bother me,” she added, standing fearless while we onlookers huddled

in hoodies and jackets.

A sudden shiver, and she added. “But cold air does!”

She and her pastor father, our son-in-law Kendall, waded further offshore. “I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost,” he said, bending down to lower her under the surface. As she has so often before, she came up streaming and smiling – but with a little squeal.

Baptism doesn’t make us Christian. But it’s another step on the walk of Christian faith. This Nana’s heart swells.

Nobody pushes harder than a softball player I had never watched softball before. I knew what it was, of course, but hadn’t taken the time to take in a game. I also didn’t have a chance to take in every game at the showcase at York Lake on the weekend, which was a shame, because if everybody played baseball like these girls play softball, I might become a fan of the sport.

team is fielding perfectly, a base will probably get stolen. If a girl gets on base, she’s going to steal a base very soon.

Eventually, she’s going to attempt to steal home.

The result is a game that’s exciting in a way that I haven’t experienced in baseball before.

The thing with baseball is that, typically, the game is slowly paced. It’s a rare sport that’s built around preventing action. The pitcher is trying to prevent any hits, the fielders are attempting to prevent any running, everyone is trying to prevent the other team from any feats of bravery.

The girls in the field at York Lake were trying

These girls are aggressive.

This is not a sport for the weak. If there is a single error, a base is getting stolen. Even if there isn’t an error, if someone doesn’t pay attention for a few seconds, a base is getting stolen. Even if a

DEVIN WILGER

Thinking I do with words... the same thing, of course, but the difference is that since the teams were so aggressive, they kept the level of action extremely fast paced and exciting. It felt more like a battle because they were aggressively going after the other team. The fielders might have been trying to prevent action, but

the batting team was doing everything they could to create it. Every time a player got on base, even from a walk, you began to watch them, because you didn’t know when, exactly, they would be running, when they would find that narrow gap that allowed them to move on.

Perhaps there were more gaps because these were young players and somehow batters increased their skill at a faster rate than the fielders. Maybe it gets less aggressive once the fielders catch up. I hope not though, because this is an amazing spectacle and incredibly entertaining.

Every sport has a different thrill and here the thrill was watching the teams finding any sliver of an opportunity to advance a base and push further. It was exciting and unpredictable. The teams played well, the difference was that they both played aggressively, so it really pushed the game to the limits of how

exciting a variant of baseball can be.

Not every sport will reward aggression and risk-taking as much as U12 softball, but watching it I was impressed by the girls and I couldn’t help but think they had an attitude that will get them further in life. They push hard, they take risks, they take advantage of every opportunity they have, and sometimes make opportunities where a less aggressive ball player might not find them. If these kids grow up and apply this attitude to sport, to business, to any field they enter, they’re going to be a force to be reckoned with.

Family shreds rubber together at races

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The Invitational Weekend at the Y e l l o w h e a d International Raceway attracted the biggest crowd of racers that the track has witnessed this year, with around fifty cars hitting the track just north of Yorkton for the two day event.

The weekend was the second stop on the RP Automotive mini circuit, which began in Swan River, MB, on Aug. 4 and 5, and will continue in Swift Current, SK, on Sept. 14 and 15 and Sept.

29 and 30 in Tisdale SK, with racers going for points to be the top dog on the circuit, as well as getting first place in Yorkton on the weekend.

One of the teams competing was the fatherdaughter team of Stefan and Destiny Klym with Canadian Diesel Racing.

The Hanley, SK, family might have been teammates in matching cars – Destiny’s own car was out of commission after a wreck at another race, leading her to borrow one of her fathers’ spares

Destiny and Stefan Klym, a father-daughter racing team out of Hanley, SK, don’t give each other an inch during the heat races on Saturday.

– but they were not being nice to each other. Some of the most intense wheel-to-wheel action was a result of the Klym family going after each other.

“We’re both really competitive,” said Destiny.

“When we’re out there, we race the cars as fast as we can, and when we’re here we’re best

friends,” added Stefan.

One could see the family rivalry most clearly in the heats on Saturday, when Stefan made a late race move on Destiny, and cut her tire in the process. Still, she said she got her revenge.

“I still had fun, maybe a little bit mad when I came in. I won [Sunday] so we’re good now!”

Growing up around

racing, Destiny describes herself as an adrenaline junkie. Stefan bought a race car for her older brother, but it was Destiny who wanted to drive it.

“She just about jumped off the chair...

She’s been beating boys, beating dad, beating everyone. We’ve been hanging out all the time and it’s so nice to hang

out with your daughter wherever you go on weekends and just be part of a really good group of people,” said Stefan.

The team has been racing together for eight years, touring across Canada and the United States, including racing in the NASCAR Pinty’s series in 2017.

They enjoy Saskatchewan races,

including the mini circuit, becasue of the family atmosphere.

“It’s like a big family of people. We meet the same people and enjoy hanging out together... It’s just a great group of people to be a part of, it’s like family,” Stefan said.

The weekend did not end how Stefan wanted, with his own car being taken out in a serious collision on the front straight, wrecking his rear end in the Street Stock feature race.

Stefan is impressed by the work done by the people behind stock car racing in Yorkton. With the amount of people racing in the invitational weekend, he’s happy to see the work done by local clubs paying off.

“It’s really nice to see Yorkton flourish with racing. I’ve been coming here for quite a few years and there have been seven or eight cars, so to see it grow and the hard work that people put into this place is amazing.

They’ve grown the sport and they’ve grown the club and it’s really nice to come here.”

The District 4 team in the first game of the softball showcase at York Lake. The team finished the tournament with a record of 1-3-1.

Best in Sask U12 softball at York Lake

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The best in Saskatchewan under-12 softball was at York Lake, with girls demonstrating their skills and competing against each other in a weekend-long showcase.

The District 4 team, which includes Yorkton, Melville, and the surrounding area, finished seventh out of eight teams, with a record of 1-3-1. The final results saw District 2 (Regina) take gold, District 6 (Saskatoon) take silver, and District 1

(which includes Weyburn, Qu’appelle, and Estevan) take bronze.

Clorice Kuzek, coach of the District 4 team, said that while they didn’t win, they were still in the games and, more importantly, were able to see the level of softball skill in the province.

“To see some of these girls...

I have umpired fastball for the past 10 years, and I have never seen talent at this age like I have seen at this tournament.

There are amazing young ladies coming out of our prov-

ince who are really great ball players, and it was an eyeopener for the girls in our area to see what is out there.”

Kuzek was particularly impressed by the pitching skill on display and how the girls on the field controlled a game without the help of an adult, calling pitches and making strategic decisions.

Locally, she was also impressed by the two District 4 pitchers and how they stuck in the games. While there was a learning curve for the relatively inexperienced team, she

applauded their ability to compete, even if they were low in the tournament standings.

One of the challenges of building a district team in Yorkton is the sheer size of the area, which is not an issue for districts like Regina or Saskatoon, who just have to draw within the city.

“We draw from basically the Manitoba border to Wynyard and Balcarras while Regina is Regina, and Saskatoon is Saskatoon. We have to find a good group of core girls who want to travel to things like this

and are interested in it, because you have to want to learn.”

Bringing in talent from across the province is also a great way to get people interested in the game, especially as District 4 is in its first year and wants to get more girls interested in the game, and Kuzek is encouraged by what she saw on the weekend.

“It was great to see people out at the York Lake ball diamonds enjoying some really great ball.”

‘Rider process confusing, but working Ah to be a fan of the Saskatchewan Roughriders where understanding the thought processes of the current head coach is like wandering through the Minotaur’s maze without the aid of Ariadne’s ball of string.

The latest mystery fans have tried to unravel is the out-of-the-blue release of Duron Carter.

It was only a few short weeks ago he was deemed so versatile the talented receiver was shifted to defensive back and kept there while most people would have looked to the free agent pool for a more experienced DB. Of course Carter has always been a bit of a Swiss army knife with a willingness to return punts or kick-offs, the swagger to suggest he could be a kicker and the highlight reel to show he is an acrobatic receiver.

So why is he suddenly gone?

It is likely there was an incident of some sort.

Perhaps Carter took exception to being largely ignored in an offensive

set-up that hasn’t exactly clicked at high speed this season.

In fact, going into action this weekend, the ‘Riders were seventh overall in points scored at 21.6, and in terms of offensive points, sat eighth at an average of only 16.7.

Having a talented receiver would seem a positive if you are hoping to improve on those lowly numbers.

Now granted there have been rumblings about Carter and his attitude from day one. There is a reason he is not in Montreal where he started.

Roughrider boss Chris Jones should have been aware of that when he inked Carter, and by now have that situation controlled, one would think.

Of course last year the team was playing better, headed to the playoffs with a legitimate shot at a Grey Cup final, which covers up a lot of little annoyances in the name of winning.

This year the Roughriders were scuffling at best, at least until Sunday when a staunch

CALVIN DANIELS

Sports defence, two big plays and a bad decision by Calgary gave the ‘Riders a win.

On offence quarterback Collaros matched Bo Levi Mitchell in yardage but the ‘Rider pivot failed to toss a touchdown, with Mitchell throwing four.

On the ground Saskatchewan had 112 yards from runners, compared to the Stamps 95, again even.

Brett Lauther did kick six of six field goals for the Roughies, which is impressive as an individual, but speaks to the lack of finish the offence has.

The key was an interception in the first quarter taken back for a ‘Rider major, on a third down gamble Stamps

coach Dave Dickenson should never have taken.

Trim that off the board, and the momentum isn’t handed to Saskatchewan early and the game might have ended differently. It was an arrogant, ill-timed gamble for the Stamps.

Still it was a good game for the ‘Riders who must continue to win to get into a playoff spot.

While we focus on our ‘Riders in Saskatchewan the big story on the Canadian Football League has been Johnny Manziel.

Here is another player who arrived in the CFL with what is usually described as off-field baggage including an arrest in 2012, and questionable tweets in 2013, and other issues followed.

But Manziel has shown

he can play quarterback. In 2012 playing for Texas A&M University he accumulated an Southeastern Conference (SEC)-record 4,600 yards of total offence on his way to becoming the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy.

Manziel had a shot in the National Football League with Cleveland, but league fines and team demotions were more notable than his play.

So this spring he settled in Hamilton, a couple of years from meaningful downs, and an expectation it was behave and play, or be out of the game.

The Ti-Cats have Jeremiah Masoli, who has emerged as a very capable CFL pivot and at only 29 having several years ahead, so when Montreal became desperate for a quarterback Manziel was moved.

After barely time to meet his receivers Manziel was pushed into starting and looked, not surprisingly overwhelmed, tossing four interceptions.

Manziel’s second out-

ing was better, but it’s obvious he is rusty, has not been given time to learn the Canadian game, and is working with the worst overall team in the CFL at present. That is not a great formula to resurrect a career, especially when veteran quarterbacks moving to the CFL have generally struggled with the bigger field, free safety and three downs.

Whether Manziel can run the gauntlet of challenges and find success will be one of the more compelling stories to watch unfold over the second half of the CFL season.

Manziel’s development was put on hold as he sat because of concussion protocol on the weekend.

Antonio Pipkin was forced into a start as Montreal’s fifth starting quarterback of the season throwing for 217 yards, and a touchdown,49yards more and one TD more than Manziel managed a week earlier which might tell you just where things are at in terms of his emerging as a CFL starter.

York Lake was the venue for the Yorkton Canoe and Kayak Club’s Developmental Regatta, with paddlers from Yorkton, Regina and Saskatoon taking on each other.

Hordichuk liked protecting teammates

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Darcy Hordichuk was never much of a goal scorer in hockey, but he brought something else to the table as a hockey player.

After playing midget hockey with the then Yorkton Mallers, the Kamsack-born forward joined the Calgary Hitmen of the Western Hockey League (WHL) for three games in the 1996–97 season.

The next season he was with the Dauphin Kings of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL). In 58-games with the Kings, Hordichuk had 12 goals and 33 points, as well as 279 penalty minutes. He would spend the next two seasons in the WHL, playing with the Saskatoon Blades, where he had 515 penalty minutes in 129 games, including 73 fights.

The toughness Hordichuk showed earned him a spot in the draft. At 22, he was drafted in 2000 by the Atlanta Thrashers as the 180th overall pick in the sixth round.

Hordichuk would make it to the National Hockey League with Atlanta, (now Winnipeg), in the 2000-01 season playing in 11 games. It

would be the start of an extended pro career with a number of NHL franchises. He would play in 542 regular season games, scoring only 20 goals and 41 points, but amassing 1140 penalty minutes with time spent with Atlanta, Vancouver Canucks, Nashville Predators, Phoenix Coyotes, Florida Panthers and ending his career with the Edmonton Oilers.

Last Wednesday Hordichuk was in Yorkton at FFUN Motor Sports signing autographs and helping with a Yorkton Boys and Girls Club fundraiser barbecue.

“It’s always fun to come back home. I try to get back, if not every summer, every second summer,” he said, adding he still has family in the Kamsack area and it’s good for his sons Braden and Declan, who both play hockey in Arizona, to see where he came from.

As for the signing, that too is something Hordichuk said he likes doing.

“It’s a way to give back to the community,” he said.

Hordichuk realizes he was fortunate to have had more than 500 games in the NHL, but added it

Former NHLer Darcy Hordichuk signs autographs for Reein Godhe, 9, and Zarin Godhe, 7, during an event at FFUN Motor Sports last week. working on the farm.”

But as Hordichuk progressed in hockey he found a niche.

“I fell in love with protecting my teammates, and the camaraderie (of the game),” he said.

And then Tyler Wright, also from Kamsack was drafted 12th overall by Edmonton in 1991.

“The kind of inspires you,” said Hordichuk.

was not exactly his childhood dream either.

“It was fun. It wasn’t about making the NHL, it was about what you learn along the way,” he said, adding “I never came from that family, where it was the dream.

My parents never played sports, so we never really thought about it.

“I was just a farm boy from Saskatchewan

“There was a sense of hope … everything is possible.”

But in his first draft eligible year Hordichuk was passed over. It was only a telephone call by Brad McCrimmon, a former NHLer, and the head coach of the Saskatoon Blades, suggesting the Thrashers take a chance on the tough-as-nails enforcer.

Hordichuk would spend his career ready to drop his gloves against the league’s tough guys.

It was a role he recognizes is all but gone from the game today as the league and players have grown concerned about the residual effects on health.

“I realize the role is gone, that I was one of the last guys in that role,” he said, adding he doesn’t feel he has residual effects from his fights. “I think I did a good job of protecting myself. I tucked my chin.”

As for career highlights, Hordichuk never played for a Stanley Cup winner, but came close with the Canucks.

“Vancouver was fun when we had that run, (twice winning their division 2008-09 and 200910),” he said.

And while Nashville was not the team it is now when Hordichuk played for the Predators from 2005-08, “I kind of got the experience,” he said, adding you could feel the fans falling in love with the sport and the team.

But the biggest moment may have came early in his pro career, when in 2001 he won the Turner Cup, top prize in the International Hockey League with the Orlando Solar Bears.

Yorkton players bound for WHL camps

By Sean Mott Staff Writer While summer sports start to wind down as we reach the latter half of August, Yorkton athletes are aiming for spots on the ice.

Several local hockey players are heading out for Western Hockey League (WHL) camps this week. They’re looking to catch coaches’ eyes and earn positions on one of the 22 teams in the division.

Yorkton players will travel to Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia to try out for the teams. For certain players, it will be a homecoming of sorts.

Carson Miller is returning to the Prince Albert Raiders for the third year. He’s excited to meet his teammates and build a successful season.

“Every year is a little bit different,” he said.

“Coming back as a veteran, you want to show... leadership and...help [your teammates] out.”

Keenan Taphorn,

who’s heading to the Kootenay Ice camp in Cranbrook, B.C., is pumped to see his friends from around the country.

“I’m looking forward to...seeing how [the guys] progressed over the summer and what skills they picked up,” he said. “It’s a good time in the year, hanging out with all your teammates, and ultimate-

“Our camp goes Friday to Wednesday, so

by Tuesday you’re kind of feeling it,” he said. “No one really has a spot right now, so we gotta go in with a mindset of trying to make the team.”

“It’s definitely a grind,” said Ryder Korczak, who’s attending the Calgary Hitmen camp.

ly trying to win the championship.”

The camps won’t be walks in the park. They can be grueling physical tests. Competing with other players only makes the camps that much more difficult. Brett Kemp, who’s playing for the Edmonton Oil Kings, knows how tough the camps can be.

Kael DePape, 15, who’s played with the Yorkton Maulers, will be attending his first WHL camp when he plays for the Lethbridge Hurricanes.

He’s eager to earn a spot on the team.

“I’m pretty young and going to a WHL camp is a big step for me,” he said.

“There are lots of guys, so it’s pretty intimidating.”

The players will leave

Yorkton throughout the week as they journey to their respective camps.

Miller thinks the WHL teams provide an excellent opportunity for personal and athletic growth.

“We’re at a certain time in life where we can enjoy a sport and get together and make some memories and make some friendships that last a lifetime,” he said.

HALYK - Mrs. Shirley Halyk beloved wife of Gordon Halyk of Yorkton, formerly of Dunleath, passed away on Thursday, July 26, 2018 at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre. She was seventysix years of age. Shirley was the third child born to parents Nick and Mary (Bewcyk) Ninowsky of the Calder/Wroxton district. She grew up on the family farm and attended the nearest country school, Liberal, located three miles from home.

Shirley completed her elementary education (Grade 9 by correspondence) then roomed in Kamsack and graduated from Kamsack Collegiate lnstitute in 1959. Shirley married Gordon Halyk in January of 1960 and they moved to Yorkton shortly after. Later that year they welcomed their daughter Nicolette followed by their son Randy the following year. Shirley stayed home raising their young family and worked on the home they were building doing all the drywalling, staining and painting inside and out. Shirley started working away from home in the early 70’s and did so for the next thirty years doing mostly office work and bookkeeping. Shirley’s hobbies included crocheting, knitting, needlework along with gardening and fishing. Shirley enjoyed sports, both as a participant and a spectator. Shirley also enjoyed playing Bingo for entertainment.

Gordon and Shirley moved to Dunleath in 1982, spending the next 32 years there. Shirley again put her renovating skills to good use both inside and out working both on the house as well as the yard. Shirley loved animals and always had one or more around. Her favourite was her cat Callie. They enjoyed each other’s company for over seventeen years.

Shirley was predeceased by her parents, her brother Ross (Henry); her parents-in-law Steve and Nellie Halyk; brothers-in-law Bethel Richmond, Albert Dubnyk, Mervin Krunick; sisters-in-law Vangie Turton and Sandra Halyk. She is survived by her husband Gordon, daughter Nicolette (Carmen) Sivertson of Weekes, son Randy (Ruth) and granddaughter Nikeesha of Saskatoon. Also surviving are her sister Violet Dubnyk of Yorkton, in-laws Shirley Richmond of Cranbrook, BC, Mavis (Dale) Gustafson of Yorkton, Jerry Halyk of Esterhazy, Don (Doretta) Halyk of Esterhazy, Duncan Turton of Manor, Joan Ninowsky of Esterhazy and Marilou Ninowsky of Yorkton, along with their families. Others include her three step-grandchildren and their families as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

MYSKO - Mrs. Mary Mysko, beloved wife of Walter Mysko of Yorkton, formerly of the Wroxton, district passed away on Wednesday, August 8, 2018 at the Yorkton and District Nursing Home. She was eighty-four years of age. A long time ago, Walter was playing the violin at a dance in Kamsack.

When making his to way to the washroom, he noticed four young ladies sitting on a bench, but it was one dark haired beauty that stood out for Walter. When he returned from the washroom, Mary had moved to catch Walters’ eye.

Thus, began the saga of Mary and Walter. Mary was born May 15, 1934 in Kamsack. She attended Bear Stream School and Kamsack Collegiate where she completed her grade twelve. She began her career at Dr. Leaven’s office and then moved onto Dr. Wassill’s Optometrists office. Shortly thereafter, Walter Mysko wed Mary on January 20, 1952, residing on the main homestead by Wroxton. Their family began with Valerie, then after a move back to Kamsack, Audrey was born five years later. However, the farm life was calling them back to Wroxton where the family purchased their own homestead. Mary was never shy of hard work, maintaining a massive garden with an abundance of flowers, her favourite being roses. The kitchen was her domain where three-course meals evolved, including the best perogies this side of Wroxton. When it came to harvesting, Mary was always involved. She hauled grain, took meals out to Walter and would make runs to Yorkton or Roblin to get the necessary parts for any broken-down machinery. Mary was a kind-hearted gentle soul with a smile that would light up the world.

She always put everyone else first. Her family was most important to her.

She had a great love for music and dancing which gave her plenty of opportunity to dress up. During their time together, Mary and Walter enjoyed trips to British Columbia and Ontario. Their favourite trips were to Nashville, Tennessee and Bransen, Missouri. Mary and Walter shared a wonderful life together with no regrets. Mary was predeceased by her parents, Alex and Anne Kluchka (nee Filipchuk), brother Oreyst and brothers-inlaw John, Mike (Vera), Bill (Rose), Steve (Ann) and Peter (Mary). She is lovingly remembered by her husband Walter, daughter Val (Gord), their children Alex and Naomi (Andrew) and daughter Audrey (Launey).

Sisters-in-law, Anne Mysko and Pauline Kluchka, as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.

- Eternal Memory !

We would like to send a special thank you to Dr. Peter Groenewald and the staff of Yorkton District Nursing Home (North location), for the excellent and loving care shown to Mary. Prayer Services were held on Monday, August 13, 2018 from the Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre.

Funeral Liturgy was celebrated on Tuesday, August 14, 2018 from St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Yorkton with Rev. Father Methodius Kushko, C.Ss.R. as the Celebrant. Granddaughter, Naomi Moker served as the cross bearer. The Epistle was read by Gord Moker. Interment followed in the Garden of St. Luke in the Yorkton Memorial Gardens with Valerie Moker, Gord Moker, Alex Moker, Audrey Weitzel, Launey Weitzel and Andrew Yule serving as the casket bearers. Tributes and words of remembrance were given by Gordon, Alex and Naomi Moker. Condolences can be sent to the family at www.baileysfuneralhome.com.

BORYS - Romaine Borys of Millarville, AB, formerly of Yorkton, passed away on August 7, 2018 at the Foothills Hospice in Okotoks, AB. He was seventy-four years of age. Romaine Peter Borys, born in Yorkton, SK on Sept. 3, 1943 was the eldest son of Peter and Sophie (nee Berezuik) Borys. He was raised on a farm in the Fenwood district. He attended Maxwellton School in Fenwood and then St. Joseph’s Collegiate in Yorkton, SK. After high school, Romaine’s first job was at Korb Motors where his passion of working on vehicles began. He pursued a career as a motor vehicle technician and attended Kelsey Institute campus in Saskatoon, SK. As a licenced technician, Romaine’s aptitude and knowledge led him to several career opportunities including Yorkton Texaco, Broadway Park Esso, Case Power and Equipment and CFB White Spruce (radar base). On Oct. 10, 1966 he was united in marriage to Marie Zatwarnitski and on April 23, 1969 their only son, Darcy was born. Romaine became extremely busy with working full time, farming and family responsibilities. Somehow he found time to coach Darcy hockey and be involved with the Knights of Columbus. In 1987, Romaine transferred to the military base in Suffield, AB and worked there until he retired. Upon his retirement, Romaine and his partner Jessie, moved to his son’s acreage near Millarville, AB. He loved living the country life he once had as a child. He enjoyed helping Darcy restore cars and work around the yard. Romaine was motivated by keeping busy as there was always something to do on the acreage. He became a part of the close-knit bond with Darcy’s friends. Romaine was a visionary man and he respected the accomplishments of hard work. He admired his son’s extraordinary drive and determination, yet his fatherly advice was to “Slow down!”. Although he did not know how to show it, Romaine’s eyes revealed how extremely proud he was of his son Darcy. Romaine’s most prized treasures were his two granddaughters; Bryden and Levi. He loved spending time with them picking bottles, playing Hola, snowmobiling, quadding, watching them play hockey and Ukrainian dancing. His licence plate read: If I would have known grandchildren were this much fun, I would have had them first.

Romaine inspired others to enjoy the simpler things in life. He was the life of the party and he loved to socialize with everyone. Romaine will always be remembered for his quick wit and his great sense of humour that would make you laugh, cry or both at the same time. Romaine’s long courageous battle with cancer ended on Tuesday, August 7, 2018. He was 74 years old. Predeceased by his parents, Peter and Sophie, and second wife Connie Urbanoski, Romaine will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his son Darcy of Millarville, AB; his former daughter-in-law Laurie of Turner Valley, AB; his two granddaughters Bryden and Levi of Millarville, AB; his brother Clarence (Diane) of Winnipeg, MB; his friend Jessie Neitz of Medicine Hat, AB; his former wife Marie (Larry) of Regina, SK; many cousins, relatives and friends. The family sends special thanks to all staff on Unit 81 at the Rockyview General Hospital in Calgary, AB and the Foothills Hospice.

HESKA - Daniel Heska passed away peacefully on August 13, 2018 at the Yorkton and District Nursing Home at the age of 86. He was born on June 7, 1932 in Yorkton, SK. He married Grace Chorney on October 16, 1954 and continued to live in Yorkton to this day.

Danny started his career at Auto Electric Service in Yorkton where he was employed for over 45 years. This was his first and only job. As a traveling salesman, he gained many friends around Saskatchewan. He was very active with the ACT (Associated Canadian Travelers) Association and was chairman of the ACT Parade committee for the Yorkton Exhibition for many years. Danny was an active curler and golfer until his health started to decline. For many years he was a volunteer worker in the gift shop at the Yorkton Union Hospital. Here he enjoyed meeting and spending time with friends and customers. Danny loved playing cards when all the kids came to visit at holiday times. There were lots of laughs as Danny pretended to cheat a little, but always got caught. Even in his time in the Yorkton and Kamsack nursing homes, he developed many friendships with patients and staff with his enjoyment of getting a group together to play cards.

Having tea parties with Hillary or attending a hockey game when Seth came to town was always a highlight in his life. He loved his grandchildren and enjoyed their time together whenever they could come to Yorkton.

Eventually he took up woodworking and spent time in his garage doing scroll saw work and building yard ornaments like benches, wishing wells and cartoon cutouts. He managed to sell a few but never really made enough to cover his costs. His yard was his pride and joy. Danny always had the most lush and green lawn on the block, always watering and fertilizing. Danny’s animated and happy laughter, the love he had for his family and friends and his enjoyment of spending time outdoors will always be remembered. Predeceased by his parents, Joe and Mary Heska of Gorlitz, SK, Danny is survived by his wife Grace; 3 sisters: Ella Schellar of Burnaby, BC, Joyce Sleika of Vancouver, BC and Shirley Lozinski of Abbotsford, BC, two sons: Brian (Jane) of Okotoks, AB and Terry of Yorkton, SK. Three grandchildren: Shannon Heska (Blake) of Estevan, SK, Ryan (Cheryl) of Okotoks, AB and Drew (Faith) of Edmonton, AB and five great-grandchildren: Hillary, Jennah and Seth Horn of Estevan, SK and Jordyn and Kaeden Heska of Okotoks, AB. Cremation has taken place. A private family graveside interment service was held on Saturday, August 18, 2018 at the Yorkton City Cemetery with Pastor Brian Kirsch of Heritage Baptist Church officiating. In Danny’s memory, memorials to the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation can be made as tokens of remembrance.

In Loving Memory Of

bill

Our legacy is really the lives we touch, the inspiration we give, altering someone’s plan - even if for a moment and getting them to think, cry, laugh, argue.

More than anything, we are remembered for our smiles; the ones we share with our closest and dearest and the ones we bestow on a total stranger, who needed it “right then” and God put you there to deliver.

Forever in our hearts and always on our minds

Broken Chain

KOLODZIEJSKI - John Kolodziejski, beloved husband of the late Bernice Kolodziejski, passed away in his sleep on August 16, 2018 after spending the whole day with his family at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre. John was born in Zablocie, Poland on December 24, 1923 to Walter and Amelia (Stegienta) Kolodziejski. He was the oldest of four children with sisters Mary (Halyk) and Ann (Bisschop) and brother Henry. Dad came to Canada with his mother and sister Mary in 1929 to join his father near Tuffnell, SK. They settled on “the Flats” north of Tuffnell and proceeded to earn a living off of a few cattle and crops that would grow amongst the rocks. Dad attended Echo Lake School for 5 years and thinking at Grade 5 that he was smart enough he began his very successful farming career that spanned over 80 years. Mary remembers being late for school quite often as they milked 20 cows each morning before school started. John loved sharing stories of how hard life was in those early years.

One that comes to mind was the driverless horse that would come into the yard from the field with a load of hay where Mary and John were waiting to unload the hay and the horse would then return to John’s father out in the field where he would load it up again. We truly cannot appreciate how different and difficult life was in those days. As a young man, John and Roman Shurgot went out to BC to work at the pulp mills for the winter. This was a whole new adventure for him; however, farming was his passion so they returned to the farm. John met the love of his life, Bernice Yurkowski, due to the matchmaking skills of Tom and Mary Halyk. John and Bernice were married on November 21, 1950 in Lanigan, SK with the wedding and reception following in Tuffnell. Their first home was in Tuffnell, SK where Bernice continued teaching up until the birth of their first child, Ron. Soon after, John and Bernice moved to their own farm with Terry, Bob and Shelley joining the family. John and Bernice worked very hard to make their farming business a success. They were grain farmers as well as raised livestock, chickens and horses. John was a lifetime member of the Sask. Wheat Pool. He enjoyed curling in his spare time as well as attending auction sales and fishing with Tom Halyk. He also helped out with the Sheho sports days for many years. John and Bernice were great entertainers; they loved playing cards and there were many late nights spent trying to figure out who the winner was. John loved to relax with a drink occasionally and the first thing he would do when people came over was offer them a drink and “NO” was not an option. In 1976, John became a “grandpa” to Kristy, followed by Kelly, Bryan, Sean and Leah. In 2006, he became a “great-grandpa” to Kennedy. The children have many memories of grandpa, usually that he was working and, when possible, going to the lake, fishing, ice cream trips and tractor rides. The girls remember grandpa being a patient and willing participant when they were playing hairdresser and the boys remember him teaching them to drive different pieces of farm machinery, much to Grandma’s chagrin.

Every time John saw his grandchildren, he had a big smile on his face; he just loved seeing them. There was always an ice cream treat waiting for them when they came to visit and usually a $20 bill to take on the way out. In 2004, John and Bernice moved to Yorkton, enjoying a quieter life together. However, John continued driving back and forth to the farm during seeding and harvest season for many years. John enjoyed watching game shows in his later years for hours on end. He also thoroughly enjoyed listening to the Saturday Night Get Together on GX94. Throughout his life, his deep devotion and faith in God guided him in all that he did.

Even after mobility problems prevented church attendance, daily mass on TV was never missed. John was predeceased by Bernice, his wife of nearly 67 years; his parents Walter and Amelia; his wife’s parents Ignace and Mary Yurkowski; his sister Ann, brother Henry, in-laws Tom, Norbert, Joseph, John and Sharon. He leaves to cherish his memory: children Ron (Linda), Terry (Carla), Bob (Patty) and Shelley (Angus); grandchildren Kristy (Michael), Kelly (Andrew), Bryan (Janine), Sean (Bailey) and Leah; great-granddaughter Kennedy; his sister Mary Halyk, sister-in-law Lucy Kolodziejski; brother-in-law Stan (Joan) and sister-in-law Vicki (Jim); cousin Ann (Joe) and many nieces, nephews and friends. Prayers were held on Sunday evening, August 19, 2018 from St. Gerard’s Roman Catholic Church in Yorkton with Mary Bybliw, Lay-presider. Hymns were “Amazing Grace”, “Prayer of St. Francis” and “Psalm 23”. Pianist was Lorraine Lysak.

The Funeral Mass was celebrated on Monday morning, August 20 from St. Gerard’s Church with Father Louis Kim Nguyen as Celebrant.

Lay-readers were Leah Kolodziejski for the prayers and Patty and Brent Kolodziejski for the funeral. Cross bearer was Joe Bisschop. Gift bearers were Mary Halyk and Ann Neskar. Hymns were “Here I Am Lord”, “Psalm 40”, “Precious Lord, Take My Hand”, “You Are Near”, “Song of the Angels” and “How Great Thou Art”. Pianist was Diana Hornung. The interment followed in the Garden of Gethsemane at the Yorkton Memorial Gardens with Tom, Don and Mark Halyk, Bryan and Sean Kolodziejski and Angus Patterson serving as the casket bearers.

Serving Yorkton and the surrounding community since 1963 Our promise is simple we are committed to providing the finest in funeral services and understanding care to the families we serve with compassion, dignity, integrity and professional excellence.

We little knew the day that God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone.

For part of us went with you The day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one The chain will link again.

-Dad Mervin, Brother Jordan, and Grandparents Peter & Marie Oystrick

In loving memory

of SHAWN who passed away

August 26, 2013

Though your smile is gone forever, And your hand we cannot touch, Still we have so many memories, Of the ones we loved so much.

Your memory is our keepsake, With which we’ll never part, God has you in His keeping, We have you in our hearts.

Love and miss you Shawn Dad & Mom, Kim, Dwayne, Kelly & families

PLAN OF THE WEEK

PLAN NUMBER 7-51007 POTENTIAL FOR A MORTGAGE-HELPER Plans for this handsome two-storey, fivebedroom home include an unfinished basement, which might serve as an in-law suite or mortgagehelper, as well as a loft area with a built-in bookshelf on the upper floor.

Entry is through a covered porch and a front door with sidelights.

Inside the foyer, a den or fifth bedroom is to the right, with a three-piece bathroom adjacent. The bathroom includes a linen cupboard, and the den features a barn door.

Ahead is the stairway to the second floor, and beyond this are the kitchen, great room and dining area.

The great room includes a gas fireplace, set in a bayed-out niche to save space, with three floor-to-ceiling windows that look out to the back garden. Part of this room has a doubleheight ceiling. Access to a partly covered sundeck is through sliding glass doors.

The dining area also features multiple floorto-ceiling windows overlooking the sundeck.

The kitchen is separated from the great

room and dining area by a prep island with a double sink and dishwasher.

The L-shaped counter configuration will save steps for the cook, who will also appreciate the roomy walk-in pantry.

Access to the mudroom is from both the kitchen and the double garage, which is spacious enough to include a workshop. The mudroom includes a row of cubbyholes.

On the second floor, the master suit overlooks the back garden.

The adjacent en-suite includes a soaker tub in a bayed-out niche with windows, as well as a

shower stall and double sinks. The toilet is in a separate room. A walkin closet completes the lay-out.

The second bedroom, located at the front of the home, includes a window with an extra-wide sill.

Bedroom No. 3 is located between the three-piece bathroom and the laundry room, which has a large shelf for sorting and folding, as well as a sink and a closet.

The fourth bedroom is the largest of the secondary bedrooms and looks out to the back garden.

Exterior finishes include stucco with brick and wood accents. A large brick pillar is located near the front entry, echoing a brick-based wood pilaster opposite.

This home measures 42 feet wide and 61 feet deep, for a total of 2,672 square feet, not including the unfinished basement.

Plans for design 7-51007 are available for $975 (set of 5), $1050 (set of 8) and $1110 for a super set of 10. Also add $35.00 for Priority charges within B.C. or $60.00 outside of B.C. Please add H.S.T., PST, OR G.S.T (where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges.
