Keith Hayward presents Kevin D.A. Kuryntik and Carol Beecher with Best of Festival at the Golden Sheaf Awards, to the directors’ surprise.
q Norquay connection to winner ...
Skin for Skin takes home top Golden Sheaf By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Directors Kevin D.A. Kuryntik and Carol Beecher did not believe they had won the Golden Sheaf for Best in Festival. They kept checking the big award, convinced that maybe someone said the wrong name, double checking that their film had actually taken the top prize. Engraved at the bottom of the statue were the words “Skin for Skin,” the name of their film. They had won it after all. The directors describe their film as a historical, mythological horror film about the Canadian fur trade. Beginning with the true story of Governor
“There’s so much about Canadian history that you kind of know the surface of it. But there’s also depth to it, a mythological depth to it that isn’t often explored.” — Carol Beecher Simpson going across Canada with the Hudson’s Bay Company, the film soon diverts from fact into fiction, turning into an environmental fable and a film about greed. “We called it canoe noir,” Kuryntik said. They felt that Canadian his-
tory was something that there was a lot to dive into for making a story. In researching the story, they thought they could build an interesting film with the country’s past as a firm foundation. “There’s so much about Canadian history that you kind
of know the surface of it. But there’s also depth to it, a mythological depth to it that isn’t often explored,” Beecher said. The film won two awards, the other for Best Animation. Emphasizing that their film was not for kids, and quite crazy, they admit that they’re not used to animation being recognized in a film festival. The strong lineup of this year’s film festival made it especially surprising that they got the top award. “Amazing films... We’re honoured just to be with them,” Kuryntik said. “Animation kind of gets marginalized a lot, and a lot of the time gets dismissed as ‘that’s for kids’ and ours is...

not. It’s really nice to see something because we work so hard as animators. We have to build everything, and draw everything, and sculpt everything. We’re not casting actors we’re building them from the ground up,” Beecher added. Kuryntik is from Norquay, so it’s a home town win for the director. It’s his best festival experience so far as a result, and he’s proud to take home the award. The Ruth Shaw Award for Best in Saskatchewan award

Three years in sexual assault case By Devin Wilger Staff Writer A Yorkton man will be going to jail as a result of a 2016 sexual assault.

ning of drinking, as she was passed out in her bedroom. The prosecution in the case argued for a four year period of incarceration in the incident. Prosecutor Andrew Wyatt argued that sexual assault on sleeping women is a serious problem, and a longer sentence was appropriate as
a denunciation and deterrent in order to prevent others from committing the same crime. The defence argued for a period of incarceration of two years, followed by two years of probation. Defense attorney David Rusnak argued that there was little chance of Hasper being before the court again,
and a period of incarceration in a federal facility would allow him to access programming to help him with issues before his release. The judge in the case noted that in Saskatchewan, the starting point for sentences in sexual assault is three years, with deviations from that sentence based

He also noted something from the victim impact statement, where the victim stated that she began and ended every day at the scene of the crime. Mitigating factors for Hasper were a lack of a

The second annual Mekayla Bali Walk of Hope travels down Smith Street.
Walk of Hope focused on family safety By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Paula Bali doesn’t want another family to go through what she has. Her daughter Mekayla is one of 22 missing children in the province of Saskatchewan, and she wants to see all of them back with their families. That was the message behind the second Mekayla Bali Walk of Hope. Beginning at Sacred Heart High School, the walk went down Smith Street. The walk stopped at the offices of MP Cathay Wagantall, MLA

For us it’s a point of honouring those missing children.” — Paula Bali Greg Ottenbreit, and the municipal RCMP to put a poster demanding action on behalf of missing kids, with 22 candles representing those missing children. They carried teddy bears representing each of those children to Western Financial Group City Centre Park. At the park itself, families could fingerprint and photograph their kids just in

There was a barbecue by Save-On Foods as well as a presentation on safety for kids by Parkland Search and Rescue. “I just feel like there is a lack of support in terms all of the missing children in the province
and it’s not being commemorated anywhere. For us it’s a point of honouring those missing children,” said Bali.

In general, the theme of the day was to get families to make smart decisions and ensure no more children go missing. “One of the stories of Mekayla is that if she can go missing, anybody can, because she certainly wasn’t a high-risk youth.

Film Festival showcases virtual reality By Devin Wilger Staff Writer In the middle of the Gallagher Centre, I walked into a bar. An old dive bar, it hasn’t seen a new coat of paint in years, but it’s filled with authentic blues and people milling about. Taking in the scene, behind my head, I hear a disembodied voice. “You can pick up the flyer on that stool, just teleport over there.” That was the voice of Marco Luna, Research Associate, Concordia University Research Chair in Interactive Documentary. He was there with Cary Ciesielski from Twisted Pair Productions and Daniel Cross, Concordia University Research Chair in Interactive Documentary, as they presented the Introduction to VR panel at the Yorkton Film Festival. On the main floor, computers and VR headsets were set up to introduce festival attendees to virtual reality and the documentaries they are creating with it. Luna and Ciesielski are doing very different things with the same format. Ciesielski’s films are similar to a traditional film. They’re realistic, linear documentaries
Daniel Cross sets up the VR area. told through filmed footage. The difference is that the stories are all around you, a panoramic display that surrounds the viewer. At one point in a documentary about the north, a man points at some snowmobiles, and you spin in your chair as you watch them travel. One challenge of working in the new format is making sure people know where to look, but
Ciesielski says that if he starts the action in the center of where people are looking when they put on the headset, they can follow that action. “It’s quite possible that somebody could just watch nothing. They could watch the back of the image if they wanted to, but I don’t find that is the case.” What Ciesielski is doing is taking people to places that they might otherwise be unable to go. One of his projects was a documentary on a traditional caribou hunt, for example, something in the far north that very few people would be able to experience, in conditions that not many people would be able to endure. Another project about paleontology and the discovery of Scotty the T-Rex was something regular people couldn’t see in person, because of where sites are and how protective paleontologists are of their dig sites. “This doesn’t accidentally happen to you.” The challenge for Ciesielski has been how you film without the ability to hide, how to light and get a shot while having a three hundred and sixty degree frame. “You’re allowing the audience to be the cine-

It’s not finished – at one point I looked longingly at a drum set that Luna intends to make interactive but has not yet – but the pieces are there, and the potential for the setting is easy to see. While Luna’s project uses some of the language of video games to work, he admits that it can be difficult to pitch a documentary to a gaming
audience, as it’s a slower paced experience, and it’s not a gaming instinct to just sit and enjoy an experience. “I’m a gamer, I play RPGs and MMOs, I notice that the gamer will have already acquired a mechanic where, you get inside a virtual world, and you have to collect the minimum necessary. You basically ditch information... You start putting information aside to accomplish the objective. When we start exposing gamers to this product, they don’t have the retention, they don’t stop and listen to someone else’s story, they always focus on what to do next.” The big change for
Luna is that he embraced coding, something many documentary filmmakers don’t necessarily know.
“I won’t be fooled by a game developer when they say it can’t be done. No, it can, you just don’t want to do it because it falls outside of your comfort zone.”
VR is new, and the rules are not yet known. Working through Concordia University, Luna says that they have had lots of failed projects, but that’s important for developing technology and finding out what it can do. “We have a lab where we can really embrace error.”
Yorkton Film Festival starts with a Rumble By Devin Wilger Staff Write Not many people know the story of Rumble: The Indians who Rocked the World. That’s the point of the documentary, in fact, since many of the artists were forced to hide their First Nations heritage in order to have a music career, or even just to live in America. With Link Wray as a starting point, the film showcases a wide range of indigenous musicians and the struggles they faced to play their music in front of the world, along with interviews from the many people they influenced along the way. The film kicked off the Yorkton Film Festival.
Alfonso Maiorana, codirector of the film, was in town at the screening at the Painted Hand Casino. His first time at the film festival, Maiorana was happy to screen the film in Saskatchewan, near where Buffy SainteMarie, one of the film’s subjects, grew up in Fort Qu’Appelle. The goal of the film was to tell the story of these artists, but also to point out where their culture influenced their sound. Maiorana hopes that after people watch the film, they hear the music in a new way and appreciate how Indigenous culture has influenced what they are hearing. “When you watch the
the music and realize that behind this music there is Indigenous influence, then it changes your perspective.” The film took five years to make, and since it is filled with celebrity interviews and popular music it was not an easy film to produce – Maiorana remembers an interview with Iggy Pop where they were informed two days before that they had to meet him in his hotel room in Detroit.
Alfonso Maiorana, co-director of Rumble. film you realize that a lot of this music was banned in the past. A lot of Indigenous people were not able to openly talk
about their Indigenous roots or their Indigenous identity, and that’s why this film is important. Now, when you listen to
“Any time you want to tell a story with some famous people who are important to the story, it’s a big endeavor. You need a lot of people and a lot of time on your side.”
It was difficult, but Maiorana said that it was made easier by how many people believed in the project and the story they were telling. “They were supportive and wanted to be part of it, it was just that getting them to commit at a certain time on a certain day was difficult. Getting them on a documentary project was at times the bottom of the ladder, but they wanted to be part of it.” The film is just scratching the surface of Indigenous influence in music, and Maiorana admits they could easily do a follow up because there are so many stories to tell.
Student day Student Day was again held as part of the annual Yorkton Film Festival, taking place last Thursday at Sacred Heart High School. Shayne Metcalfe of the Recording Arts Institute of Saskatoon lead a day of hands-on instructive learning for Yorkton high school students, who spent the day shooting, editing, and learning the finer points of what it takes to make a film go from storyboard to screen.

Perspective GTH reveals worst in old Sask. Party gov’t
Interim Publisher: Nancy Johnson Editor: Calvin Daniels Production Manager: Debbie Barr Mailroom Manager Jim Kinaschuk Advertising Manager: William O’Boyle Advertising Sales: Sandy Kerr Brian Thomson
◆Editorial◆
Murray Mandryk is a political columnist with the Leader Post
The problem with old governments is they don’t take criticism as seriously as they should. This may seem an odd observation from someone who has also observed in this space that governments — even those facing no serious threat of losing power — can be exceedingly sensitive to criticism. But the two notions aren’t as contradictory as they seem. Governments that do well in the elections find it easy to attribute their success to their policy and governance abilities. What’s easily loss on them is that their true success might be nothing more than being just slightly more palatable to the alternative that challenges them that at the polls every four years. The longer any government goes without facing any meaningful threat to its existence, the more it seems able to convince itself that it’s infallible. Consider the above in the context of today’s Saskatchewan Party government and its messiest issue — the Global Transportation Hub (GTH). Concern about the GTH land deal that saw business types who, coincidentally, had solid connections to either former economy minister Bill Boyd or the Sask. Party make multiple millions of dollars on land flips has been of public concern for two years now. Initially, then-premier Brad Wall called such concerns false. Boyd even launched a personal lawsuit against the CBC for its initial report — a suit recently settled out-of-court without the CBC having to pay anything and without much that could be viewed as an apology. After the GTH controversy erupted in 2016, the government did take the matter to the Provincial Auditor who did publicly state she could no find wrong-doing. Nevertheless, the matter is now in the hands of the RCMP and public prosecutors in Manitoba, so something has gone very wrong with the inland port just northwest of Regina. Perhaps this is why the government remains so sensitive to anything vaguely resembling criticism of the GTH. Moreover, issues at the GTGH now go beyond that original controversial deal in which government paid $103,000 an acre for 204 acres of land under expropriation valued at a quarter to a one-fifth of that price. There have been big problems selling lots, with government Crowns and other government entities taking up most of the sold spaces. A prime example is Brightenview — the group behind the non-existent Dundurn Mall — failing to come through on its GTH development. We recently learned the Highways ministry spent $3 million for GTH land for a “borrow pit” — soil to be used for construction of the Regina by-pass — that didn’t get used by the bypass. And the latest development sees 45 acres of land SaskPower bought for at the GTH for $25 million — money the GTH used to pay for the 204 acres — is still undeveloped four years later. Actually, SaskPower has now spent $29 million on that land when you add in another $4 million in consulting fees and interest. Yet the best the Crown electrical utility can say is that its now unlikely to develop this land and may sell it do cut its losses. “At that point, if we decided to go with the north land, we will probably exit the GTH land and put it up for sale,” SaskPower President Mike Marsh recently told a legislative committee. Todd MacKay of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation has another way of describing it: “Taxpayer dollar bills are getting lit on fire,” MacKay said. “How come you can buy $25 million worth of land so quickly and it takes you ... years to figure out what to do with it?” It’s a legitimate question — one that the Sask. Party government isn’t answering. Old governments wrongly feel they are not obligated to be answer such criticism. Murray Mandryk has been covering provincial politics for over 22 years.

Looking ahead always a good thing W
hat will our city, country and world look like in a decade? Or 50-years from now? Those are questions many of us have considered, especially if we are the age to have children and grandchildren who will be around as the future unfolds. In a rural community we often hear it said that farmers are essentially just caretakers of the land, working to ensure it remains productive for the generations which follow. That is largely the role we all play in our local community, in our country, and our little mud ball of a planet circling the sun. What we do today can have ripples well into the future. That is a motivating factor for many. There is a desire to do things which make for a better future. In the past, the City of Yorkton has held discussions with people in the community, building a profile of what the collective vision of our city should be moving forward. That process is now well in our past, and likely something that could use some freshening as the vision of our future will change as we arrive closer to the point our plan set as a benchmark. That process of looking to our future was brought into focus during the Yorkton Film Festival last week. On the one hand the very existence of the long-running festival suggests sometimes things just happen as a result of time moving on. It’s a sure bet the first people sitting around a table in 1947 setting plans for the first festival in 1950 were not daydreaming it would still be held in 2018 as the longest running film festival in North America. But through the years, the good and the bad, organizers have kept the event alive through change and adaptation so that it is now part of our history, the
current fabric of our community, and is likely to continue evolving into the future. And then there is the television series "We Are Canada" which was awarded the Golden Sheaf for Documentary Series (see Page A3 for related story). "We Are Canada" celebrates the next generation of change-makers whose works are shaping and defining our future in imaginative ways, explained series creator and co-executive producer Ken Dryden. Dryden might be best known as a former National Hockey League goaltender with Montreal and as a Hockey Hall of Fame inductee. He was on hand for both a screening of the first episode of the series and awards night. He told those attending the screening the idea for the series arose out of Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017. Such anniversaries are generally a time of reflection on the history of a country, said Dryden, but he saw it as an opportunity to look forward as well at “what we can be.” The questions became simple: “What kind of Canada do they want? What kind of world do they want to live in?” Dryden said we have an opportunity to “not be a passenger to the future.” It is a chance to be “a driver,” he added. It’s a natural idea, offered Dryden. “You want what you do to have an effect on those who come after,” he said. And therein is a little truth we should all keep at the forefront of our thinking. What we do today as individuals becomes part of the collective future we all have a role in creating, just like the film festival founders and those who helped build a community framework for Yorkton.

Letters to the Editor Keeping Canada’s grain industry on track Dear Editor: Canada’s world-class grain industry spurs economic growth, job creation and prosperity across the country. Our government under Prime Minister Trudeau identified agriculture as one of the top sectors for growth and job-creation in Canada – we have set the objective of increasing our agri-food exports to $75 billion by 2025. Grain farmers will play a big part in meeting this ambitious goal, and we’re making sure they are well positioned to do so. We know our farmers need access to hungry markets across the world.
By signing CETA and the CPTPP, we have opened significant new markets for our top-quality grain. Industry estimates that CETA will result in $100 million in new sales of grain, while the CPTPP will result in $780 million in new sales for canola alone. Thanks to an agreement reached by Prime Minister Trudeau with China, our canola trade worth $2 billion a year is secure, and our government continues to ensure that lucrative market stays open for our canola farmers. This May, I visited China for the fourth
time since becoming Minister, and continue to promote Canadian-grown products to Chinese buyers. Over the past year, we have reduced, or in some case eliminated, the Canadian Grain Commission’s user fees, which will save grain farmers over $15 million every year. On May 23, our Government’s historic Bill C-49 received Royal Assent, giving our grain farmers a strong, reliable and efficient transportation system. It will deliver new tools to help the industry keep grain moving, such as recipro-
cal penalties and a better definition of “adequate and suitable” service. It also expands the powers of the Canadian Transportation Agency, adds soybeans as an eligible crop to the Maximum Revenue Entitlement, and improves access to LongHaul Interswitching. On top of all this, we are making numerous investments in science, innovation and export market development that will help drive the sector forward – including the Canadian Agricultural Partnership¸ which will invest a further $3 bil-
lion to help farmers grow, innovate and prosper. Furthermore, we are investing $950 million into Innovation Superclusters, including the Protein Industries Supercluster, a collaboration of over 120 businesses, universities and other groups in the Prairies, which together will add value to our grain sector through more advanced plant science, processing technology and digital infrastructure. The Protein Industries Supercluster could help create more than 4,500 new jobs, and add more than $4.5 bil-
lion to the Canadian economy over 10 years. To the grain farmers of the West, I want to sincerely thank you for the hard work you bring to your job every day and recognize the communities you are helping to support. Having been a farmer before entering politics, I am truly honoured to serve as your Minister. I am fully confident that working together, we can ensure a bright future for generations to come. Lawrence MacAulay Federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food
Part of space weather monitoring effort The Super Dual Auroral Radar Network of Canada (SuperDARN), headquartered at the University of Saskatchewan, will receive $1.58 million through Innovation Saskatchewan’s Innovation and Science Fund over four years. Two researchers at the University of Saskatchewan, physicists Kathryn McWilliams and Jean-Pierre St-Maurice,
lead Canada’s participation in the international SuperDARN program. SuperDARN is an international network of highfrequency radars operated and maintained by multiple universities and research institutions across the globe to monitor space weather. “The physics department at the University of Saskatchewan has a longstanding history of making vital contri-
butions to science,” Minister Responsible for Innovation Saskatchewan Tina Beaudry-Mellor said. “This investment not only supports valuable research the radar network conducts, but on a broader scale it supports advancements in physics and the talented scientists who have stepped up to take senior roles.” The provincial invest-
Young workers should be aware of rules As young people wrap up the school year and start applying for summer jobs, they should remember to look into the employment and safety rules that apply to young workers. Most importantly, 14and 15-year-old workers need to have their Young Worker Readiness Certificate Course (YWRCC) Certificate of Completion before they can enter the workforce. The course teaches young workers about their rights and responsibilities in the workplace. Students will learn the basics about employment standards and workplace health and safety. “Although this information is useful for
anyone, it is targeted towards young people getting ready to start their first job,” Labour Relations and Workplace Safety Minister Don Morgan said. “We want young workers to feel comfortable enough to ask questions when they don’t understand what is expected of them and refuse work they feel is unsafe.” Young workers may apply for jobs and go for interviews before completing the course. They may not start work until they have provided their employer with a copy of their Certificate of Completion. Young workers must also provide written consent from their parent or guardian. Employers are required
to keep certificates and parental consent on file. Young workers are only allowed to work limited hours during the school year. They are also not permitted to work in certain industries under Occupational Health and Safety regulations. More than 7,800 people received their Certificate of Completion between April 2017 and March 2018.

ment, which matches funding from the federal government through the Canada Foundation for Innovation’s Major Science Initiatives Fund and the Canadian Space Agency’s Geospace Observatories Canada program, will be used to operate SuperDARN Canada’s radars. Space weather originates from the sun, which loses material from its surface at a rate of more than
one million tonnes per second. This material takes the form of highenergy charge particles that travel up to a thousand miles per second, streaming through space toward the Earth’s north and south poles — resulting in everything from power outages and radio interference to spectacular northern lights displays. “Working
together
with our provincial and federal partners, we are playing a leadership role in the international SuperDARN collaboration through the development of leading-edge radar technology and distribution of data around the world that will one day enable true space weather forecasting,” University of Saskatchewan VicePresident of Research Karen Chad said.
History Corner Pioneer mail service Before the arrival of settlers, mail delivery was confined almost exclusively to serving the scattered Hudson’s Bay trading posts. It came by canoe, Red River cart or dog sled. With the arrival of settlers and the NWMP, the police frequently acted as mailmen during their patrols through the countryside. The arrival of the CPR in southern Saskatchewan brought about the creation of stage coach lines running north and south from the railheads and most of these survived because they had contracts with the government. When new branch lines snaked across the prairie, mail routes became shorter — such as Saskatoon to Battleford instead of Swift Current to Battleford. Settlers picked up each other’s mail, or carried mail to distant post offices in friendly pioneer cooperation. In most districts, the first place of business was usually the post office opened in a settler’s shack. Quite often settlers kept the
post office open for years, even after having built a better house. The author of this excerpt is Frank Anderson, well known Western Canadian historian who authored several books under the series name Gopher Books. Yorkton’s history contains some stories of mail routes and stagecoaches, and the hard work of establishing the trail between Broadview and Yorkton. Stories to come later.

New looks for cancer research at Close Cuts By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Every year, hair disappears en masse at the Parkland Mall. That hair goes away for a good cause, raising money for cancer research through the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency, as well as raising money for local initiatives that help Yorkton cancer patients. This year, the event raised $37,640.18 for the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency, as well as $6,802.70 for the local initiatives fund. As an example of the 31 participants parting ways with their hair, take a look at the newly bald Aaron Kienle. The Yorkton City Councillor parted ways with his flowing mane on Saturday. The new look means a new wig for someone with cancer, and it means a significant amount of money raised for Close Cuts. The Kienle family believes in donating hair. Daughter Aaliyah donat-
son they raised just under $16,000 for Close Cuts for Cancer. Kienle would like to thank the business community, friends and supporters for supporting him an his son in their efforts to raise money for the charity. Going from long hair to none is a big change for Kienle. “I actually can feel cold air already. It’s kind of interesting, it has been a while since I felt that sensation.” Shedding his hair does have some perks for the city councillor.

Derek’s cut was at Columbia School a week ago. “It has been year where we’re working with different organizations, raising money and donating hair for can-

to thank everyone who supports the event, and have allowed them to raise money for cancer over the past 21 years. “This community and the people who support this cause have always been very generous and it’s very heartwarming to see how generous they are this year.”
Canora break in results in arrests
By Sean Mott Staff Writer
Two male youths are facing multiple charges in relation to a break and enter robbery in Canora last week. On Thursday, May 24, five suspects forced their
way into a Canora residence. They wore masks and carried baseball bats. Two adult females were in the house at the time and one was struck in the leg with a bat when she tried to call the police. Her minor injuries were treated by EMS
at the scene.
The suspects stole a small amount of medication and fled the scene before Canora RCMP responded to the emergency. The Canora and Kamsack Detachments
worked with the Yorkton Forensic Identification Section, Police Dog Services, and the Yorkton General Investigation Section during their investigation into the incident. On May 25, RCMP exe-
cuted a search warrant on a Canora residence, where they retrieved evidence related to the crime. Two male youths were subsequently arrested. They were charged with breaking and enter and commit an indictable
Students get political at model UN By Sean Mott Staff Writer Two Yorkton students represented a country from the other side of the world at a gathering of like-minded youths. Yorkton Regional High School students Ashten Miller (grade ten) and Laura Gillis (grade nine) attended the Winnipeg Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA) earlier this month. “It was tons of fun,” Miller said. MUNA was held at the Mennonite University in Winnipeg from May 3-6. It attracted hundreds of high school students from Manitoba and Saskatchewan. YRHS has sent students to MUNA for years. Susan Onda, a teacher at
YRHS, organized this year’s trip, encouraging Miller and Gillis to participate. “I went last year and I loved it,” Miller said. When they arrived at MUNA, Miller and Gillis socialized with their fellow participants. Teams were assigned countries to represent for a mock United Nations assembly. Miller and Gillis represented Mali. The students discussed resolutions and amendments with other UN countries. Military and social issues were debated as the participants strove for happy compromises. “The whole [thing] teaches problem-solving skills,” Miller said. The crowded-event was intimidating, but it gave the students a

chance to break out of their comfort zones and speak their minds. “You’ve got to get out there if you want to make things happen,” Gillis said. “It was nerve-wracking to...put myself out there,” Miller said. “In the end, I learned a lot of social networking skills.” Miller and Gillis plan to return to MUNA next year. They enjoyed the educational and social elements of the event. “My favourite part was meeting new people,” Gillis said. “You make good friends.” “I would love to do it again,” Miller said. “It was a super awesome opportunity.” The Yorkton Rotary Club sponsored their trip.

Columbia School was the first stop in Yorkton’s bike rodeos, which gave Grade 3 students a new helmet, inspected their bikes, and taught them how to bike safely.
Grade 3 students learn about bike safety By Devin Wilger Staff Writer It was bike safety week, and grade 3 students across Yorkton had the chance to learn a bit more how to safely ride their bikes. Every grade 3 student in the city received a new helmet to ensure that they were riding safe, and took a trip through the bike safety obstacle course.
Staff Sgt. Jeff Simpson explained that they want to make sure the kids of the city are biking as safely as possible as they get back on the road. One of the biggest priorities for the program is to remind people to get their helmets on. That’s one of the primary reasons why a free helmet is part of the bike rodeo, but Simpson wants people of all ages to take that message home, and keep helmet use a priority as they take to the roads this spring.
“Bike helmets should be mandatory for everybody. If you have a helmet you should be wearing it while you are operating your bike.” Simpson also emphasized that obeying the rules of the road are important, and it’s a good idea to wear light-coloured clothing, especially in the evening, to ensure that drivers on the road can see you. People should also be aware of traffic around them as they ride their bikes.
Tourism important to city and province By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed May 27 to June 2 as Saskatchewan Tourism Week. The week coincides with Tourism Week in Canada, which brings attention to the impact of the country’s tourism sector and the economic opportunities available through travel and tourism. Saskatchewan Tourism Week highlights the importance of tourism in the province. The sector is certainly important locally.
“Every year visitors to Yorkton spend $32 million, at for accommodations, shopping and services,” said Randy Goulden, manager with Tourism Yorkton. “We know that tourism encourages entrepreneurship - over 95 per cent of tourism related businesses are small or medium sized, independently owned and operated companies. Tourism also encourages community pride and development and showcases Yorkton’s remarkable assets - its rich history, diverse cultures, and one-of-a-kind hospitality to visitors from far and
wide.” Tourism Week has been set for May 27 to June 2 by Yorkton Council as well. “Tourism has been recognized in the Province of Saskatchewan’s “Partnership for Renewal” Economic Plan as one of the six leading industries and Saskatchewan’s fourth largest export industry after agriculture, mining and manufacturing,” explained a letter requesting the proclamation which was circulated at the meeting early this month. “Tourism Week pro-
Sharp decrease in impaired driving deaths Numbers released by Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) today confirm there were significantly fewer deaths involving alcohol and drugs on Saskatchewan roads in 2017. Preliminary data from SGI shows there were 39 deaths* on Saskatchewan roads in 2017 from collisions involving alcohol or drugs, and approximately 340 injuries*. Both numbers represent significant decreases in those categories from the previous year and from the five-year average. From 2012-16, Saskatchewan averaged 596 injuries and 57 deaths resulting from collisions involving alcohol or drugs. Of the 39 fatalities, 34 were alcohol-related, while five were attributed to drugs**. There was a 40 per cent decrease in alcohol-related fatalities between 2016 and 2017. “The fact that we’re seeing fewer collisions, injuries and fatalities attributed to impaired driving has us cautiously optimistic that attitudes and behaviours are changing in our province,” Minister Responsible for SGI Joe Hargrave said. “We hope this is the start of something big and we want to let people know that when they make good decisions – to not drive impaired, to stop friends and family from driving impaired, to plan a safe ride home – it can have a real and positive impact.” “The latest statistics are evidence of an encouraging trend,” Saskatoon Police Service Chief
Troy Cooper said. “The Saskatoon Police Service wishes to recognize the efforts of the Government of Saskatchewan, SGI, MADD Canada and our policing partners for their commitment to reducing impaired driving.” “This significant decline in impaired driving deaths in Saskatchewan is a powerful illustration of the impact of strong laws and effective, ongoing awareness efforts,” MADD Canada National President Patricia HynesCoates said. “MADD Canada applauds the Government of Saskatchewan and Minister Hargrave for incredible leadership in this effort. We also thank the people of Saskatchewan who have taken this sober driving message to heart. MADD Canada will continue to offer its support and assistance to the Government of Saskatchewan, law enforcement and other road safety organizations in their efforts to save even more lives.” Over the past several years, there have been a number of focused efforts aimed at reducing Saskatchewan’s high rate of impaired driving, including: Targeted law changes in 2014 and 2017 (www. sgi.sk.ca/traffic-laws) strengthening the penalties and consequences for impaired driving. Increased enforcement, including SGIfunded police positions dedicated to traffic safety. (www.saskatchewan. ca/government/news-andmedia/2014/june/02/60-
officers-dedicated-totraffic-safety). Hard-hitting, awardwinning impaired driving awareness campaigns like “People Shouldn’t Disappear” (www.sgi. sk.ca/disappear) and “Be A Good Wingman.” (www. sgi.sk.ca/wingman). Numerous community-level initiatives such as Operation Red Nose, Ding in the New Year, and other efforts by nonprofit organizations, responsible businesses and individuals. Even with the dramatic improvement in 2017, impaired driving remains a serious concern, and is still the top cause of fatalities on Saskatchewan roads. With the pending legalization of cannabis by the federal government, Saskatchewan has taken a zero tolerance approach to drug-impaired driving. Legislation introduced last fall is anticipated to pass this spring. The province also introduced legislation to strengthen penalties for impaired drivers who transport children in Saskatchewan. *These numbers are preliminary, based on data available from police forces in Saskatchewan, and may be adjusted based on additional information from the Coroner’s office or other sources. **Many impaired collisions involve people who have been using both alcohol and drugs. Because alcohol is more readily detected, many collisions involving both are often simply classified as “involving alcohol.”
vides a special opportunity to show off or city and province. There are great places to visit for many reasons: the natural beauty, our friendly people, our fascinating heritage and culture and our incredible diversity. This is an important message to give not only to visitors, but also to our local residents who may bring visiting friends and relatives to businesses, events or attractions.” Provincially marking the week is seen as a positive for the sector. “The Government of Saskatchewan is pleased to proclaim Saskatchewan Tourism week,” said Minister Responsible for Tourism Saskatchewan Gene
Makowsky in a release. “The week brings profile to Saskatchewan’s impressive and diverse tourism resources and to the hardworking people who provide visitors with exceptional experiences.” “Saskatchewan Tourism Week is a muchanticipated celebration for our industry,” Tourism Saskatchewan CEO Mary Taylor-Ash said in the release. “Across the province, activities and events invite people to visit local attractions. This week makes tourism a familiar part of conversations. It encourages people to think about planning a Saskatchewan vacation, making new discoveries and creating their own travel stories
and memories.” According to a provincial release the industry contributes significantly to the Saskatchewan economy: • In 2017, travel expenditures reached $2.37 billion. • More than 13.6 million visits were made to and within the province last year. • More than 67,000 Saskatchewan residents are employed in tourism or tourism-related jobs. • Approximately 3,200 tourism organizations and operators offer more than 4,000 products and experiences. • Saskatchewan’s tourism sector is 95 per cent small or medium-sized businesses.

Work scheduled for Theodore Dam By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Water Security Agency (WSA) is set to begin a $1.54 million dollar project at the Theodore Dam. The Theodore project is part of an overall plan by the WSA to invest an all-time record $43.6 million in its water management infrastructure in 2018-19 to maintain its 69 dams and 130 kilometres (km) of conveyance channels as part of a rehabilitation and maintenance plan. Other major capital work on provincial infrastructure includes Buffalo Pound control structure ($630,000), Eastside Pump Station ($609,000), Qu’Appelle River Dam ($808,000), and Upper Qu’Appelle conveyance channel ($754,000). “The Theodore Dam in 2018, the plan is to do some stabilization work on the slope,” explained WSA spokesperson
Patrick Boyle, adding the work will not directly impact the concrete spillway. “… It’s stabilizing the slope.” Boyle told Yorkton This Week that over the year’s dirt shifts, and while over the years some remediation work has been done it is now time to address the situation in a more major fashion. He added with an investment of $1.54 million “there’s significant work to do.” The project is now in the process of going to tender, said Boyle, so a start date is not yet established, although he added typically work is done later into the fall when water levels are lower. The Theodore Dam is an area where many fish throughout the year, but Boyle said that is not likely to be an issue because of the work. “I don’t think there’ll be too much impact to the general public,” he said.
In terms of the overall WSA programming Minister Responsible for the Water Security Agency Dustin Duncan said it is a good investment. “Our water infrastructure across Saskatchewan is a major priority under this government, as it supports producers, recreational users, industry and the general public,” he said in a release announcing the work. “While many of these structures are decades old, they are a key priority to our economy and way of life. The proof of that priority is shown by this year’s investment, which is 15 times the amount of 10 years ago.” Highlighting this year’s program is the ongoing rehabilitation of the M1 Canal, a 22.5 km long water supply canal extending from Lake Diefenbaker to Broderick Reservoir near Outlook. Built in the 1960s, the canal provides water for 56,000
Concern for Nicaraguan friends By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Aaron Kienle and his family have been watching the protests and the use of force by the government to quell the civil unrest in the Republic of Nicaragua with great interest. Kienle explained his family has rather close ties to Nicaragua having spent a considerable amount of time there through the years, establishing friendships they still maintain. “Actually it started with my brother Joel when he was in Europe,” said Aaron in a recent Yorkton This Week interview. Joel was travelling to visit a number of countries when he happened to hear a presentation by the Peace and Hope Trust in England relating to Nicaragua. Through the presentation Joel was given a flight to the South American country, creating the first connection for the family. In time Aaron and his wife Carrie and eventually their children would visit the country, spending months at a time not just in the populace cities, but along the Caribbean cost, one of the poorest areas in the country, and even boating inland to villages there. Aaron said initially he basically sluffed off
Joel’s interest, but then when in Costa Rica they crossed into Nicaragua for the first time. “Crossing that border we noticed the people were so different from Costa Rica. They didn’t have very much, but they were so happy. It was so inspirational,” he said. “Over the next three years Carrie and I went back to Nicaragua.” During their time in Nicaragua Kienle said they worked to help out where they could, pitching in to build a school, a rehabilitation centre, and working on a coffee plantation. And Aaron said they did some fundraising and used the money to purchase uniforms, bats, gloves, balls, all the gear needed to play baseball from Hometown Sports in Yorkton, then took the gear to a poor community in Nicaragua. “It was quite a thing to see a boat heading up river filled with baseball gear,” he said. The involvement through those years made friendships which have endured even as local responsibilities have kept the Kienle family from going back to Nicaragua in recent years. Now as protesters take to the streets against president Daniel Ortega, Aaron said they are concerned. Ortega and his government have

The 10-year rehabilitation project, now just under 80 per cent complete, aims to alleviate seepage, increase canal capacity and improve the reliability of the canal’s water supply. This fiscal year, WSA will invest $13.7 million to rehabilitate another 4.6 kms of the M-1 canal system. “Because of its proximity to many communities, industry and local
producers in the area, the M1 Canal is one of Saskatchewan’s most critical pieces of water infrastructure,” said Duncan in the release. “With this year’s planned expenditure, total investment in the M1 Canal will be more than $52 million since 2015-16.” About $33 million of the total will be invested in maintenance of WSA’s long-standing suite of provincial dams and conveyance works. However, an additional $10 million will be invested in various projects on 20 dams previously belonging to the federal government that have been transferred to provincial con-
trol under WSA, noted the release. “Located primarily in southwest Saskatchewan, many of these former federally-operated dams require extensive investments in upkeep including various structural work, operator safety upgrades, work to the land surrounding the sites and public safety signage. The largest single project will be $4.2 million invested in the Highfield Dam, south of Rush Lake, where embankment rehabilitation will continue and multi-year work to construct a new spillway and outlet will start,” it detailed.
used force to quell protests and that is having an effect on the poorest in Nicaragua. There are roadblocks in areas, including the Caribbean Coast region that are limiting food supplies to people who are so poor they just live day-to-day. The situation in Nicaragua is getting limited international press, in part because Ortega controls media in the country, said Aaron, who is trying to raise some awareness locally that people are suffering as they fight for democracy. “I wanted to do more for the people we were in contact with when we were there,” he said, adding getting supplies to the most needy is the first step, which he hopes is aided by people being made aware of the current situation.

Legislation holds grain transportation promise When it comes to farming there has always been a generous amount of hope and finger crossing involved. Farmers hope frosts in the spring and fall will stay away until crops are grown and harvested. Throughout the year they hope the rains will come when needed, that it doesn’t get too hot, and that hailstorms stay away. And, then there are the hopes that grain and oilseed prices will be good, and that the transportation system will operate without glitches so they can access the best markets in a timely fashion. In recent years the transportation system, or more specifically the rail system, has not worked glitch free. In fact, it has been a choke point at times in terms of getting Prairie grain from the farm to port,
and that has caused shipping delays which have hurt farmers in their efforts to realize the best prices. Farmers have been impacted by rail planning and performance issues since 2013/14, and the poor performance of the railways in the spring of 2018 has again resulted in problems such as higher on-farm inventories, lost sales, and increased demurrage costs. The recent issues are not the first which have had farmers questioning how the rail companies handle grain. The situation has been one where the federal government has been looked to in the past to smooth the relationship, or more accurately to create a structured ruleset which in essence force the rail companies to do a better job of handling grain. That process con-
Agriculture THIS WEEK
Calvin Daniels tinued recently with the recent passage of Bill C-49, which amended the Canada Transportation Act. “The new legislation includes requirements for railways to disclose data and increase transparency on performance metrics, service and rates. It is hoped that these transparency initiatives, along with the potential for reciprocal penalties in railway service agreements, will improve accountability and system performance,” detailed a release from the Saskatchewan Wheat Development
Commission (Sask Wheat). “Bill C-49 also provides for the maintenance of the Maximum Revenue Entitlement (MRE), which ensures railway profitability while protecting farmers from excessive rail freight rates. This was a key demand from farm groups. The new bill also introduces long-haul railway interswitching to 1,200 km, or half of the Canadian haul, which has some potential to increase competition between railways.” The situation is one
which has had a range of grain commodity and Prairie farm groups lobbying for changes. Bill C-49 is essentially the federal government’s response to the lobbying effort. “The passage of Bill C-49 is the culmination of a lot of hard work by producers, farm organizations, shippers and federal government officials,” said Laura Reiter, Sask Wheat Chair in their release. “The provisions that modernize the movement of grain will improve the relationship between farmers and those in the handling and transportation system and will provide the buyers of Canadian grain greater confidence in our ability to deliver the crops they need.” The Bill may already be having an impact as Canadian National Railway (CN) announced that it would
be purchasing 1000 new generation hopper cars to bolster shipping capacity. “We knew that Bill C-49 was a strong piece of legislation and now we have the proof that it truly will help modernize the shipping industry,” said Grain Growers of Canada (GGC) Vice President Art Enns from Winnipeg in a GGC release. “Grain farmers can take comfort today in knowing that our hard work in pressing for the Bill will pay off through a balanced and robust rail system.” Clearly there is hope in the farm sector Bill C-49 will have a positive impact on grain transportation, but past efforts have always ultimately come up short, and only time will tell if this effort has gotten it right.

Three-quarters of crop in the ground Seeding progress has doubled in the province thanks to relatively good conditions. Seventy per cent of the crop is now in the ground, up from 35 per cent last week and well ahead of the fiveyear (2013-2017) seeding average of 55 per cent for this time of year. The southeast region is the most advanced with 82 per cent of the crop seeded. Seventy-seven per cent is seeded in the northeast, 72 per cent in the southwest, 66 in the west-central region, 65 per cent in the northwest and
53 per cent in the east-central region. Rainfall was reported in some areas, ranging from trace amounts to 28 mm in the Biggar area. The majority of the province remains in need of rain to replenish the topsoil moisture as warm temperatures and strong winds continue to dry fields. Provincially, topsoil moisture conditions on crop land are rated as 47 per cent adequate, 39 per cent short and 14 per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 31 per cent adequate, 46 per
cent short and 23 per cent very short. Crops are slowly emerging but are mostly in good condition despite damage from strong winds and lack of moisture. The majority are either at or behind normal developmental stages for this time of year. Pastures and hay land remain dry and growth has been slow. Pasture conditions are rated as 22 per cent good, 40 per cent fair, 28 per cent poor and 10 per cent very poor. SaskPower reports 34 cases of farm
machinery contacting electrical equipment in the last week, bringing the total in May to 119. SaskPower reminds producers that most farm-related incidents happen during the spring.

Saskatchewan Mining Week Showcases Industry Success The success of Saskatchewan’s mining industry through innovation is the focus of Saskatchewan Mining Week, which takes place from May 27 to June 2 and was officially proclaimed today. “Sustaining Success” is the theme of this year’s Mining Week, which is organized by the Saskatchewan Mining Association and features events and activities throughout the province to showcase various aspects of one of the province’s largest and most dynamic economic sectors. “Saskatchewan is one of the most attractive jurisdictions in the world for mineral exploration and development,” Energy and Resources Minister Bronwyn Eyre said. “Through initiatives such as the Mineral Development Strategy, announced in this year’s provincial budget, we intend to build on our success.” “The week provides an opportunity to celebrate the achievements and contributions of our industry to the economic growth of Saskatchewan, and our role in providing energy and food security to the world,” Saskatchewan Mining Association Chair Jessica Theriault said.

Extending art to broader education By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer It was an opportunity to showcase the art projects students have made in recent weeks as the Yorkton Tribal Council hosted an art market and
show of Indigenous art in Yorkton Friday. Melissa Antony, cultural curriculum developer with YTC said the process began a couple of months ago when YTC sponsored “a professional develop-
ment day for teachers” which focused showing teachers “how to use art in the classroom.” Antony said there is a realization indigenous art is popular today, and by having art teachings
included in multiple classroom studies “it opens opportunities to our students.” The show at the curling rink in the Gallagher Centre brought students and their art together from YTC
schools at; Ochapowace, K a h k e w i s t a h a w, Ocean Man, Cote and Keeseekoose. In addition to the student art on display, the event was an opportunity to partner with the
Yorkton Film Festival (YFF) which was hosting events at the Gallagher Centre the same day. The YFF provided indigenous films for students with an interest in the visual arts to watch, said Antony.

Artificial intelligence better understood Yorkton This Week’s editorial staff takes readers on an explorative journey around the Internet, searching out the best in videos, podcasts, webcomics, music and anything else that catches their collective eyes which might interest our readers. Overcome your fear of Daves with AI Weirdness. Neural networks can feel scary, as artificial intelligence can feel like it’s trying to encroach on fields that us humans believe we have full domain over. The website AI Weirdness (www. aiweirdness.com) is both reassuring and scary, as the AI is still very far from being recognizably human, but sometimes it gets very close. The site is fairly simple. Janelle Shane feeds a neural network a data set, such as motivational speeches or names of hamsters, in order to teach it what she wants from the data set. She then reports on what the AI thinks fits within the set, and explains a bit
about how some of the weirder results came to be. If you want to see the more adult responses you have to sign up for her mailing list, as she strives to make the blog itself family friendly. The results are frequently hilarious, as the AI often gets patterns right but struggles with words. There’s a motivational speech called “Become Less Roy.” It generated suggestions for a first line of a novel, such as “The telephone is coming.” It generated intriguing Halloween costumes like “pirate firefighter” and “shark cow.” It named an actual craft beer – The Fine Stranger – and some actual guinea pigs – including Hanger Dan. The absurdist humor that the AI accidentally generates can’t help but make me giggle constantly. It’s the result of it just not knowing what words mean, and as a result it doesn’t quite know what’s stupid. It will never replace a person for that very reason, but it does

Web Wanderings come up with results that very few people would because an actual person knows both the English language and shame. Who among us would suggest we name a cat Snowpie?

Mouse tales
When you have always liked reading comic books the ‘Net can be the source of much joy, as there are some great serialized books out
there. Of course there are some duds too, so it can take a while to find one that is both quality and fits your tastes. If you want to shorten the journey a bit I suggest heading over to www. scurrycomic.com There you will find a compelling charming work by artist and writer Mac Smith. Smith takes a rather interesting vision to the page with Scurry. “Scurry is the story of a colony of mice in an abandoned house who are struggling to survive a long, strange winter,” noted the book’s Facebook page. “The humans are all gone and
the sun is rarely seen. As food becomes scarce and many mice fall ill, the scavengers are forced to search farther from their home, braving monster infested lands in search of anything that will help the colony survive another day. Being hunted by feral cats and predatory birds is part of life for these mice, but beyond the fences stalks something far more fearsome.” Now trying to blend fuzzy little animals with a post-apocalyptic storyline might seem like something which could quickly fall into the world of pure silliness. However, Smith avoids that pitfall by simply taking a straight-on approach. He makes his characters realistic from the outset, and as a reader you are quickly vested in what happens to them. It is interesting how animals can make great characters, and here the assemblage of mice, rats, beavers, cats, wolves and even a short stop by of a wizened old turtle all
work seamlessly. It helps that Smith’s art is stunningly beautiful. The scenes with the aforementioned turtle are truly masterful in terms of the art. The story too is a big one. It has the denizens of the wild dealing with a situation which speaks in part to our own issues as humans. Yet Smith doesn’t dwell on the disaster which has humans out of the picture. Instead it is the ghost lingering in the shadows of the story. The bigger story is the survival of the mice and their friends in a world changed from what they knew. The first arc of the webcomic has been collected as 120-page graphic novel entitled Scurry: The Doomed but is also still online at scurrycomic.com. Arc two; Colony The Drowned Forest is still being uploaded on a page-by-page basis, so jump in an enjoy this completely wonderful story, and its amazing art. — Calvin Daniels
Post-secondary education numbers The Ministry of Advanced Education and Saskatchewan’s post-secondary institutions are collaborating on a new Post-Secondary Education Indicators Project. As a result of this project, government and institutions are able to collect, analyze and report sector-wide postsecondary data, which will help inform future decisions and planning. The first set of data has been released and focuses on enrolment and demographic numbers and types of credentials awarded. For example, the data shows that between 2013 and 2017, there has been a
26 per cent increase in First Nations, Métis and Inuit students enrolled in credentialed programs at Saskatchewan’s post-secondary institutions, with nearly 5,400 students enrolled in 2017. As well, the number of international students enrolled at Saskatchewan’s postsecondary institutions topped 5,000 in 2017 and grew by 29 per cent between 2013 and 2017. “Our government recognizes the importance of post-secondary education,” Advanced Education Minister Tina Beaudry-Mellor said. “I am pleased to see that an increased number of
students are choosing to pursue their post-secondary studies in our province.” In 2017, more than 11,400 credentials were awarded by Saskatchewan’s two universities and Saskatchewan Polytechnic. The total number of credentials awarded has increased by 1.6 per cent annually over the past five years. Similarly, the number of credentials awarded to First Nations, Métis and Inuit students has grown 35 per cent since 2013 with nearly 1,700 such credentials awarded in 2017. The number of credentials awarded to international students has also increased by 37 per cent.
“It is wonderful to see more students are completing their programs, especially the impressive growth in credentials awarded to First Nations, Métis and Inuit students,” Beaudry-Mellor said. “I encourage students to stay in Saskatchewan after they graduate and take advantage of the Graduate Retention Program, which provides income tax credits of up to $20,000 for graduates who live and work in Saskatchewan.” The data demonstrates that over the past five years, the total number of post-secondary students at Saskatchewan’s three largest institutions has increased by 1.9 per cent annually and in the fall of 2017, there were more than 42,500 stu-

A look toward Canada’s future
By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer
At Saturday’s Golden Sheaf Awards ‘We Are Canada’ was awarded the Golden Sheaf for Documentary Series. The award culminated a day in which the first episode of the series was screened Saturday in the city. “We Are Canada celebrates the next generation of talented and passionate change-makers whose works are shaping and defining our future in imaginative ways,” details www.whitepinepictures.com. “With young filmmakers at the helm, each episode of this prime-time documentary series and its online iteration follows present-tense narratives that will move and inspire. The hour-long
screening the idea for the series arose out of Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017. Such anniversaries are generally a time of reflection on the history of a country, said Dryden, but he saw it as an opportunity to look forward as well at “what we can be.” The questions became simple; “what kind of Canada do they want? What kind of world do they want to live in?” he asked. It is a situation where Dryden said we have an opportunity to “not be a passenger to the future.” It is a chance to be “a driver,” he added. It’s a natural idea, offered Dryden.
episode features three life-affirming stories tied together by a theme. Featured forward-thinking innovators are making new discoveries and connections across many disciplines, including science, technology, politics, business and the arts. We Are Canada will introduce viewers to the young Canadians who are shaping our future as a nation.” The series is also notable for its creator and coexecutive producer Ken Dryden. Dryden might be best known as a former National Hockey League goaltender with Montreal and as a Hockey Hall of Fame inductee.
But he also served as a Liberal Member of Parliament from 2004, also serving as a cabinet minister from 2004
Ken Dryden to 2006, and is a lawyer, businessman, author, and now involved in film.
Dryden was on hand for both the screening and awards night. He told those attending the
“You want what you do to have an effect on those who come after,” he said. Collectively, Dryden
said having a vision of what Canada should look like, and then allows a chance to identify obstacles to that happening, and then working to overcome such obstacles. Dryden floated the idea to CBC and the series was born, searching out people doing unique and outstanding things in Canada. He said such people are everywhere, beginning with a viewpoint “everybody knows somebody who is doing something special.” He added, “… the somebody might be you or your kids or grandkids.”
What we do has importance because in part “we are what we do,” said Dryden. The “future-shaping” things people are doing today will have its biggest impact into the future.
Film reflects on Rigger’s life The Yorkton Film Festival held something of an unofficial kick-off last Wednesday with a screening of the film Rigger. “Our festival has always focused on celebrating and recognizing local talent, so it’s always a pleasure when we’re able to showcase some of the work that is happening here within Saskatchewan,” said YFF Executive Director Randy Goulden in a release announcing the screening. “The pre-festival screening, for the last few years, has always focused on highlighting these local productions, so it’s become something of a Saskatchewan Showcase and an unofficial kick-off for festival week.” This year’s pre-festival screening marked a new partnership between YFF and Pattison
Dianne Ouelette created a deeply personal film on her brother Guy who died in a an oil rig accident. Agriculture; as the screening took place at the educational theatre located within Pattison Agriculture. Rigger is a documentary that tells the story of Guy Ouellette, the filmmaker’s brother, who fell to his death in a service rig accident ten days before Christmas in 2009. The film is a jour-
ney through grief as she remembers her brother through his family and friends. For more than seven years, Dianne Ouellette has been working on a personal POV featurelength documentary that will tell his story. Guy Ouellette was a rigger, he worked on a rig drilling for oil. On a
December day in 2009, with the wind pushing the temperature below minus-40 the rig he was working on collapsed and Ouellette fell to his death. He left a wife, a son, a daughter, others in his family and a list of friends to deal with the loss, a process his sister captures in her film. Diane Ouellette said
it was a film that took her some thought to pursue initially questioning “was it worth it,” to pursue wondering “who would care,” admitting her brother “wasn’t a celebrity or a superstar.” The filmmaker also noted “in the beginning I was very angry” following her brother’s death, but over time the film evolved to be more about the man that died than the anger she felt. In the film it was noted Guy’s death “was one of those situations you can’t change,” and that in the end it was a “senseless and avoidable accident.” And that is the underlying message of the film, that workers have “the right to refuse work if it’s dangerous. Your job is not worth your life.” Ouellette, who is a former Melville, SK. resident is an Independent Métis film/video-maker who holds both a BFA in Film and Video and a BA in Theatre from the

The roots of the Maltese Cross How is your planting coming along? Hopefully you have some exciting new plants from the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society Spring Plant and Bulb Sale last week! Thank you to all our gardeners who brought plants for the sale, to everyone who helped set up or work at the sale, and of course, to all our gardening friends who came to the sale and bought new additions for their gardens! How would you like “burning love” in your garden? Maybe you have it there already: you do if you have Maltese Cross in your perennial patch! Maltese Cross is an old favourite perennial that originally hails from Mongolia and Russia. The plant grows about three feet high with clusters of bright red florets, making it a nice choice for the back of a border or flowerbed. Coming from such a rugged part of the world, we would imagine that it is quite a sturdy and tough plant, and indeed it is. It likes full sun and well-drained soil, and is quite good-natured about the amount of moisture it receives. It can tolerate a location that is on the dry side. Don’t choose a spot that is consistently damp. You can start these plants from seed, or divide up a larger, more established plant. When I was doing my homework about this plant, I learned that it has all kinds of interesting and romantic names such as burning love, gardener’s delight, great candlestick, Jerusalem or knight’s cross, and tears of Christ. Amazing names! Legend says that this plant arrived in Europe with knights of Malta during the crusades; can you just picture a long-ago knight tucking a few of these plants or a packet of precious seeds into his saddlebag to take home as he rode across Europe? It’s no wonder the plant has such a list of exotic names! I really like this plant because it is a strong, carefree perennial that looks great in our gar-

Even one theft robs us all
“Thou shall not steal,” God commanded. But he gave us all free choice, and ever since Cain stole his brother Abel’s life in the Garden of Eden, some have chosen theft. “Check your yards, neighbours,” someone posted last week on our village’s Facebook page. “Maybe the wind blew them your way – missing three jerry cans, only one was full.” My town (a bedroom community for a larger center a few kilometres down the road) has no store or coffee shop in which to swap news and information with neighbours. Facebook helps with that, providing a
means to communicate complaints and kudos, questions and comments to other town residents. Wondering if anyone’s seen your cat, or if the schoolbus is running today? Go to FB. Spotted that mangy fox in town again? Report it on FB. Needing a place to vent about water shutoffs, potholes, incorrect use of the organic dump or lack of decent cell service? Bring it to Facebook. After I read the post about the missing gas cans, the spouse of the person reporting them added, “Wind? That’s funny. Some lowlife came into our yard during the night last night and stole

them. A spade is a spade. Let’s call them what they are.” Someone later found the cans, tossed into a ditch outside town. They’d been used to pilfer gas from a nearby farm. “Not cool,” wrote the cans’ owner. “But we got them back, thanks to

honest people.” A few days later, I decided to haul our lawn furniture out of its winter storage place. Strangely, the shed door stood ajar. That’s odd, I thought, assuming one of the grandchildren had peeked inside. Only later did I realize I couldn’t find our nicest lawn chair. I remembered the gas cans. The vehicle. The caution to lock
everything. “We’re missing a very nice, almost new, lime green zero-gravity recliner,” I posted on the village FB page. “...that ill wind perhaps? Guess it’s back to a blanket on the grass. Watch out for lurkers, neighbours.” Not long after that, I found the chair in the garage, camouflaged by a thick coating of sawdust. Clearly, I’d parked it there last fall. Frustrated that I’d suspected someone of stealing before I thought to question if I’d stored the chair elsewhere, I returned to Facebook. “My apologies! I found the chair we thought was stolen, tucked into a corner where I’ve never wintered lawn chairs before, meaning I am my own ill

wind! Neighbours’ items have grown legs – jumping to conclusions is far too easy.”
Indeed. A neighbour’s vehicle disappeared during the night last year. When he went to bed, there it was. In the morning, there it wasn’t. People get edgy, hearing things like that. Intermittent clouds of suspicion overshadow our friendly community climate. Theft of any kind does that, wherever and however it happens. G o d ’s Te n Commandments formed the foundation of Western law. They serve to bless, protect and strengthen individuals and communities. Setting them aside robs us all.
Eighty-seven of Saskatchewan’s most proficient French-second-language (FSL) speakers participated in the Provincial Final for Concours d’art oratoire, a French-language oratory contest organized by Canadian Parents for French – Saskatchewan on April 28. In the 20172018 school year, there was a record number of students in this popular public speaking program with over 6,400 students participating at the school level. Sacred Heart High School sent Morgan Rohatynsky to compete in the French Immersion Grade 10 category. Her speech was called ‘La dépendance de la musique’ – The Importance of Music in my Life.

Losing weight is a massive pain in the pants Losing weight is generally considered a good thing. Lose a couple pounds and people start complimenting you, asking how you did it, saying you look great, that kind of fun stuff. Having lost several pounds recently, I have noticed that everyone is generally complimentary when they see you are slightly slimmer than you used to be. I am not trying to brag, it’s just how things work. However, I don’t like losing weight. I don’t like gaining it either, for the exact same reason. In an ideal world, I would stay exactly 203 lbs. until the day I die.
Before this year, I had been roughly the same weight for a fairly long time, but more crucially, I had been the exact same clothing size for even longer. This is why I don’t like losing weight, because changing size is terrible. My process of clothes shopping is simple. Since I know my size, I go into the store, buy various things that are in my size, and then go home. Unless the labels are wrong, it means I can buy clothing with minimal fuss. Everything basically fits, everything is comfortable, and I don’t have to waste my time going into changing rooms. Because
DEVIN WILGER
Thinking I do with words... of this, I can buy all the clothes I need for a season in about 15 minutes. Losing weight, however, throws a wrench in those plans. Now I don’t know my size. Stuff that used to fit comfortably is now loose and weird. It means all of my old clothes don’t work as
shopping. Some people will think I am insane. Maybe they like buying clothes, maybe they like being healthy. Personally, I would hate it if I had to actually find a new size and re-purchase my entire wardrobe. So, unlike a lot of people, the ones who sign up for diet classes and respond positively to people noticing their new figure, I’m sitting here wondering what I can do to ensure that I don’t drop too many pounds, to make sure I don’t have to suffer a fate worse than death, having to actually spend time trying on a shirt.
same problem, of course. Everything feels tighter and my size becomes a mystery again. This is equally bad. There are bound to be health benefits from carrying less weight around. I’m sure that, medically, eating healthier and becoming slimmer is the ideal scenario. But if that means I have to change my clothing size, I’m not sure I want to deal with those pesky health benefits. I do find myself wondering just what unhealthy alternatives I should reintroduce into my diet to just nudge me back to the weight I was, so I don’t have to actually put thought into clothes
well and I should theoretically buy new ones, even though my old clothes are all perfectly fine so I’m not going to. That’s right, going baggy is my new style, because if this shirt is still in one piece it’s still worth wearing. Gaining weight is the

B SECTION
North and south head to head at Senior Bowl By Devin Wilger Staff Writer It was the first time that the Viterra Senior Bowl had ever left Regina and Saskatoon, bringing the province’s best players in six-man and 12-man football to Century Field to play in front of Yorkton crowds. The day opened with the six-man game, which was a close contest between south and north, before the northern team finally pulled away. The final score was 55-32 for the northern team after a high scoring final half. The 12-man game was much more of a lopsided affair, with the south team dominating play for the majority of the game. The final score was 51-7 for the south team. That team had some familiar faces for the Yorkton crowds. Jason Boyda and Ryan Effa were the coaches, while Matthew Mandziuk, Matthew Balysky, Zack Fleury, and Usine Langford were on the field.. This was Mandziuk’s last game in his high school helmet, and he embraced having the chance to be on the field, showing off for friends
The victorious 12-man South team at the Viterra Senior Bowl. The team, coached by Yorkton’s own Jason Boyda and featuring Yorkton players, was dominant in the game 51-7. and family on his home town field. Mandziuk also made his final touchdown wearing an orange helmet during the game. “It feels good, especially on my last time on my home field here. Overall, the offense played well, overall we were a great team, and it was one good last ride for us.” As for the team’s success, Mandziuk saw it coming. The team was a skilled one, both on
offense and defense, and Mandziuk expected they were going to do well. “We knew we were going to come out and put on a show... We just thought that we were better than the North and it showed on the field today.” The chance to play at home again meant a lot to Mandziuk, since he had to skip the last game of the provincial championship due to a dislocated shoulder. Coach Jason Boyda
A visual metaphor for the 12-man game at the Viterra Senior Bowl, the North just could not do anything to stop the south team’s advance.
was impressed by how his team played over the game, describing them as coming out firing from the first kickoff. He was impressed by the passion displayed by his players in the game. Bringing the Yorkton players back for the game was a chance for redemption for Boyda and the Yorkton players, since it meant that they could end the season with a triumph. “The last time we were on the field togeth-
er, unfortunately we lost the provincial championship 14-7. So for us to have another ride at a championship game together with my Yorkton boys and come out on top is so sweet.” Beyond the game, Boyda believes that being the host of the Senior Bowl is a great way to showcase the community. “We get an opportunity to showcase not only our football facilities, our
football locker room, our field, our community. Everybody has been so impressed with Yorkton, how the community comes together to support football in Yorkton, so that’s one of the things that makes me so proud to be a local resident.” Boyda hopes Yorkton becomes a regular part of the Senior Bowl rotation in the future, and believes they have proved the city can handle a high level event like the Senior Bowl.
A pair of Yorkton players, including Matthew Mandziuk, take down a player from the north team.
WMBL Cardinals coach ready for season By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Western Major Baseball League season is about to get started and that means the Yorkton Cardinals are headed back to the Pioneer Park diamond in the city. This year the Cardinals will have a new head coach at the helm as John Farrington assumes the role. “This will be my first season with the team,” he told Yorkton This Week, adding he is looking forward to the chance to coach the Cardinals. “I have heard great things about the city and am looking forward to the opportunity.” Looking ahead to the 2018 season, Farrington, hailing from Lane Community College in Eugene, OR., said the team just needs to perform up to their skill level to succeed. “We have a talented group coming in and I am optimistic about our chances,” he said. “The key is going to be coming together as a team,
not just being a bunch of individuals, and pulling towards a common goal. If we take care of the little things and look to improve as ball players every day, we will have a successful summer.” As a first year coach, Farrington said on paper the team looks solid. “I am excited about the group we have coming in and look forward to seeing how we will mesh together,” he said. “There is a lot of talent on the roster which should make for an exciting summer.” As an American coach, one of the big challenges is finding Canadian players who are often a big part of winning in the WMBL. “While I have not personally seen any of the Canadian players we have coming in, I have heard great things about them,” said Farrington. “It can be challenging to find Canadian players for an American coach, but we have a good mix of Canadian and American players who will bond over a shared love for the
game.” When asked about key recruits this year Farrington said it is not about individual players. “I don’t believe any one player is going to be more important to the team than any other player,” he said. “It takes a group of individuals, who understand their role, and come together as one. It is going to take each and every person on this roster to make this team go. “While some players will have more notice-
able roles than others, each player is going to play a key role in their own right.” That said, Farrington likes what he has to work with, at least when viewed on paper. “Our roster is in a pretty good spot right now,” he said. “However, you can never have enough pitching. Playing 50-plus games in just two months is going to be a grind. These players haven’t just been sitting around

resting. They have been playing their school ball and are rolling right straight into summer ball. I have learned from experience that the players who are the most successful in summer ball are the players who love and embrace the grind.” In past years the Cardinals have had some issues keeping players. Many years players have left for varying reasons but the result is the team has been left short of players late in the season and playoffs.

Farrington said he is banking on this year’s recruits wanting to see what they start through to the finish. “A player’s character is just as important as a player’s talent to me,” he said. “I expect our players to come into this summer 100 per cent committed to the team and the city. Like I said earlier, long bus rides and playing almost every day can be a grind, but we will understand that, and look to embrace and love it.”

Internet opens a world of sport to viewers Thank goodness for variety in sports because right now as a fan who focuses on favoured teams and loses interest when they are not active I would be in a definite sporting lull if I relied on the mainstream. Apparently pro basketball is ongoing, although I tuned out on the playoffs after the Toronto Raptors stumbled badly. And while it is good to see a team never having won the Stanley Cup will hoist it this year, with Winnipeg now on summer holidays my interest past seeking out the scores is near zero. Yes the Toronto Blue Jays are playing baseball, but as we approach June they are not playing very well. The Jays are struggling to find .500, and to be honest you needed the rosiest of rose coloured glasses to have expected much more from what is at best a hodgepodge line-up. You can’t start a season with Curtis Granderson, Randal Grichuk and Steve Pearce pencilled into prominent roles in your outfield and think you will be winning anything come season end.
That said I was anticipating a Jay team that would have stayed in the mix a bit longer based on starting pitching. But the one anticipated strength for the team has been an anchor on success. J.A. Happ continues to play better than I dreamed when they first signed him, but Marcus Stroman and Aaron Sanchez, who need to combined for 25-plus wins this season for the team to flirt with anything beyond being also-rans, having a whopping two wins, which is the end of this story. The Jays are not a very good team, and that will sadly not change the rest of the season. They are still watchable as a diversion, but there is no sense of hope in the roster as it stands. Thankfully we are only a couple of weeks away from the regular season kick-off for the Canadian Football League, and the Saskatchewan Roughriders should be in the hunt to win it all. And an off the beaten path many sports fans take the Saskatchewan Rush are up one-gameto-none in the best of three championship final with Rochester winning 16-9 Saturday. Game two
CALVIN DANIELS
Opinion goes thus Saturday, and a subscription to NLLTV, or having SaskTel Max allows you to watch as they hopefully win their second title in three years for Saskatchewan fans. But when I go off the beaten path I like going a long way off it, and in the current Internetconnected world that is a far easier trek. Almost every sport you can think of has credible online platforms to watch games live, and better yet on-demand, so you can tune in after the better half has trundled off to bed.
which means tuning in ends up at about a cup of coffee per game. And just recently I plopped down a few cyber bucks for www.volleyballworld.tv so that I can watch Team Canada in the new Volleyball Nations League. It’s only the men involved, the Canuck ladies not in the mix this year, but it was too good a chance to miss out on, and not a mass commitment as the league only plays from now through July. Again I don’t have to watch a lot to be cheaply entertained.
Not every pay service is low cost. I checked out one for freestyle wrestling on a lark, but retreated rather quickly at $150/year and that was in US dollars. That is devout fan only territory in my mind. Other sports, arena soccer and football coming to mind have free online streaming of league games. The Major Arena Soccer League is supposed to have a TO team in the loop for this fall so that is must viewing for me. If you want to wander off the path a bit further, then I can certainly recommend www.ehftv.com The online platforms has a catalogue of past team handball matches from Europe, and do live broadcasts to boot, which is great since it’s a very entertaining sport. Sadly, with no real presence in North America it’s almost unknown, and with no ‘horse in the race’
in a sense it doesn’t rate quite so highly for me. That said if there was a pro league here it would have an instant fan in me.
Other examples of quality sport TV that you can find on line are BadmintonWorld.tv and the official International Table Tennis Federation channel, both on YouTube.
So you can find just about any sport you can imagine online these days, many, free to boot. And then finally I did a bit of web surfing late one night took me to www.casinodaniabeach. com where you can tune in Wednesday to Sunday for live jai alai. I was aware of the sport, but when I tuned in to watch I was totally intrigued. The stream is not high resolution, but is not bad, and while not a sport I will watch daily, it has my attention for the slow days of summer.
Some of the options do cost money. Access to NLLTV and the Lax Sports Network to watch indoor and outdoor pro lacrosse cost about $50 a year, but give full access to all teams and games,

Deckbuilding taken in fresh direction
Deckbuilding is a great board game mechanic in its own right, best seen in a game such as Dominion. But increasingly game designers are using deckbuilding as not the core of the game, but as an element of broader game play. And that brings us to Super Motherload by designers Gavan Brown and Matt Tolman. The duo have incorporated deckbuilding into Super Motherload, but you build your deck only as part of a broader game, where other elements are just as important as building a useful deck. So what is Super Motherload about? “The Solarus Corporation discovered an infinite source of rare and precious minerals deep in the red crust. Resources that will end the energy crisis on Earth and fuel the deep space expeditions planned as population swells beyond capacity.
You have been chosen to lead an elite crew of Pod pilots who will delve below the surface of Mars in Solarus Corporation’s first major drilling expedition. As a part of this maiden voyage, the corporation has agreed to let you reinvest any profit you earn back into training your Pod pilots, increasing their skills and efficiencies. Will you be remembered as the greatest Solarus Corporation employee in the galaxy?” detailed the story lead-in of the rulebook. So to simplify things you control a drilling crew on a foreign planet digging for gems and artifacts and glory. The gameplay basics suggest; “Super Motherload is a deckbuilding game. This means that you have your own deck of cards that you draw from each turn. Your deck initially consists of very basic cards, but over the course of the game you will add new
YORKTON BOARDGAMERS GUILD yorkton_boardgamers_guild@hotmail.com and more powerful cards to it.” Frankly I think they note deckbuilding first in large part because the mechanic has been popular in recent years, so board game fans are drawn to games incorporating it. The deck you build of course does play a significant role in the game. “You will use cards to Bomb and Drill minerals, and other bonuses, from the game board. You will then use the minerals you’ve collected as money to purchase better cards for your deck. Some cards give you an immediate bonus when
purchased, while others give you bonuses when you use them to Drill. Every card you purchase is worth Victory Points (VPs). You can also gain VPs from Achievement Cards that become available throughout the game. The player with the most VPs at the end of the game wins,” continues the rule book. That the cards you purchase which go into your deck are worth victory points, the secondary element means players need to keep a focus on deckbuilding, which strategically sinking mine shafts on the game
board. The Drill Action is used to collect minerals and bonuses from the game board. The cards you play allow you to place tunnel tiles which allow players to collect minerals and bonuses from the board. The game comes with two-sided board sections which allows for greater re-playability. In some cases drilling alone is not enough. You will need bomb actions to clear through certain sections, so some cards are important in terms of the special abilities. The minerals collected have varying values which allow you to buy new crew cards which build your deck, and your abilities. Along the way you can also complete certain things which match achievement cards you may collect which add victory points in final scoring. Overall Super Motherload uses deck-
building in a rather unique and interesting fashion. The game also offers nice diversity from credto-crew which is a nice touch. The in-game decisions are often not easy as a player will rarely be able to do everything they will wish to do on a turn, which in game terms is a good thing. The game is loaded with ‘bits’ from tunnel pieces to gem and artifact chits, which does make the game a touch ‘fidgety’, although that may be my bias showing. The game did earn a Canadian game design award in 2014, so that is solid praise for the game, and I certainly recommend deck builder fans give this one a close look. Check it out at www. roxley.com Thanks to fellow gamers Jeff Chasse, Trevor Lyons and Adam Daniels for their help in running through this game for review.
Golden Sheaf Award winners for 2018 The Yorkton Film Festival is proud to announce the winners of the 2018 Golden Sheaf Awards. The awards were presented on Saturday, May 26 at the Golden Sheaf Awards Gala that capped off this year’s festival. The gala was presented by the Painted Hand Casino. “We were very pleased with the wide selection and variety of films submitted to this year’s festival, so being able to honour these great films with our award is a highpoint of the festival,” said YFF Executive Director Randy Goulden. “Our festival has a very good reputation, and our awards have impact and recognition throughout Canada, so being able to add more filmmakers who can proudly declare that they are Golden Sheaf Award winners is just absolutely fantastic.” Goulden added. This year’s Best of the Festival winner was the NFB production, Skin for Skin, an animated film that serves as a dark allegory set in the fur trade during the 1800s. Skin for Skin also won the award for Animation. The Ruth Shaw Award (Best of Saskatchewan) was presented to the film Talking at Night, by Saskatoon filmmaker Eric Thiessen. The film was produced by the NFB as part of their Doc Labs Saskatchewan project. The Founder’s Award was a tie, with the films Run As One: The Journey of the Front Runners and Holy Angels both being selected as the winning films for that award. 2018 Yorkton Film Festival Winners Indigenous Award – Presented by Painted Hand Casino Holy Angels Director(s): Jay Cardinal Villeneuve Producer(s): Selwyn Jacob Production Company: National Film Board of Canada A nimation – Presented by Telefilm Skin for Skin Director(s): Kevin D.A.

Accessability week proclaimed The Government of Saskatchewan is joining many provinces across the country in proclaiming May 27 - June 2 as National AccessAbility Week in Saskatchewan. National AccessAbility Week is a time to promote inclusion and accessibility in communities and workplaces. It is also a time to recognize the efforts of individuals, communities and workplaces that are actively removing barriers to give Canadians of all abilities a better chance to be included and succeed.
“Accessibility legislation is one of the priority areas for Saskatchewan’s Disability Strategy, as fully accessible communities are foundational to the inclusion of people with disabilities,” Social Services Minister Paul Merriman said. “Our government is pleased to proclaim National AccessAbility Week in Saskatchewan and celebrate the work being done across the province to create inclusive and accessible communities.” Since 1964, Spinal Cord Injury

KADYSCHUK - Anne. Born on November 22, 1921, Anne passed away peacefully on Tuesday, March 6, 2018 at Saskatoon City Hospital surrounded by family. Anne grew up on the family farm near Rhein, SK and married ‘the good-looking boy across the fence’ in 1939. She and Nick celebrated their 65th anniversary in 2004 at Clear Lake where Anne enjoyed many summers at their cabin. It reminded her of the ‘summer kitchen’ on the family farm. Anne was a committed volunteer to any organization or person who needed a helping hand. In recent years that included thrift stores, hospitals and cooking for a local church’s outreach programs for children and youth. Predeceased by her infant first child Mary in 1940, husband Nick in 2005 and son Norm in 2017, Anne is survived by her daughter-in-law Louise (Norm), sons Ron (Barbara) and Garry (Glenda), daughters Joy (Dave) and Marrianne (Kevin), 12 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. A Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 2, 2018 at The Rock Church (228 Avenue G South, Saskatoon). Interment will occur at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 3, 2018 at the Saints Peter and Paul Ukrainian Orthodox Church cemetery near Rhein, SK. Donations may be designated in lieu of flowers to the Bibleville children’s program at The Rock Church (Box 7875, Station Main, Saskatoon, SK S7K 4R5) where Anne volunteered for many years.

John was born to Philip and Wilhelmina (nee Schaan) Daum on July 1, 1934 in Churchbridge. After his schooling, John joined the Royal Canadian Navy based out of Victoria during which time he married Katherine (Kay) Martinuk from Saltcoats. Eventually John and Kay returned to the family farm in the Chatsworth region where they raised five children. John was an enthusiastic curler and passed his love of the sport on to all his children. He served as president of the Chatsworth Curling Club for many years. Another passion was bridge. He and his wife were grand masters and enjoyed decades of involvement with the Yorkton Duplicate Bridge Club. Predeceased by his parents, his beloved wife Kay and infant son Thomas, John leaves to mourn his passing and cherish his memory five children: Carla (Mike Fitzpatrick), David, Kathy (Peter Eliuk), Philip (Gloria Fournier) and Patti (Gordon Bird), as well as six grandchildren: Lorelle (Braden), Tessa, Cameron, Bronwyn, Joel and Erica, brothers Ron (Bunny), Daun and sister Eleanor (Leo); as well as many beloved nieces, nephews, other relatives and good friends.

SHUMAY - Steve Shumay of Yorkton, beloved husband of Olga Shumay, entered eternal rest at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre at the age of 82 years. Steve was born in the Springside District to Nick and Helen (Chupa) Shumay. He was the second youngest of six children. He received his education in Whitesand School and Springside High School. After completing high school in 1957, Steve and his friend Ivan Biblow moved to Sudbury, ON to work at the nickel mine. A few months later, Steve and Ivan returned to Springside. Steve’s father had passed away suddenly so Steve came home to take over the farm. Steve began courting Ivan’s sister, Olga, and in 1959 he married the love of his life. They continued to live on Steve’s family’s homestead until 1966 when they moved to Yorkton to be near schools for their children. Steve continued farming and would commute every day to work the farm for the next 50 years. A few years after moving the family to Yorkton, Steve purchased Club Billiards on Betts Avenue which he operated while still farming, until 1977, when he sold the business to purchase more farmland. To Steve, his most important role as husband and father was breadwinner and providing for his family, ensuring they would be looked after. He did not want them to struggle as he and his siblings had growing up on the farm in the ‘30’s. Steve and Olga did take some time to travel occasionally, usually during the winter months when there was nothing to do in the fields. Steve had one hobby, faithfully meeting his coffee buddies at MacDonald’s at 5:30 am. He continued to do this until recently. Steve instilled a strong work ethic in his children. He retired from farming in 2016, though the farm never left him. Steve was predeceased by his parents Nick and Helen, father-in-law Mike Biblow, mother-in-law Lena Biblow, all his siblings Michael, Anne, Walter, Margaret and Elvy, sister-in-law Adeline and his niece Bernadette. He leaves to mourn his passing, his loving wife of 59 years, Olga, his four children, Donna Berrns (Kevin), Les Shumay, Darlene Evdokimoff (Andy Wishlow), Darcy Shumay, grandchildren Brooklyn Berrns, Katelyn Reding, Bryce Shumay, Chad Shumay, Shea Shumay, Marissa Evdokimoff, Nicholas Evdokimoff, great-grandchildren Levayda Berrns and Bentley Reding, brothers-in-law Ivan Biblow (Evelyn), Emil Biblow (Sonya), Dennis Biblow (Lorraine) and several nieces and nephews. Prayers were held on Friday, May 18, 2018 and the Funeral Liturgy on Saturday, May 19, 2018, both at St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Yorkton with Very Rev. Father Bohdan Lukie, C.Ss.R. as the Celebrant. The responses were led by Ed Pindus (Prayers), Laurie Fedorowich (Liturgy) and Parish Choir members. The cross bearer was Shea Shumay and the epistle reader was Terry Miley. “All those that shared in Steve’s life” were considered as honourary bearers. The interment followed in the Garden of Gethsemane at Yorkton Memorial Gardens with Raymond Dennis, Ken Novak, Bryce Shumay, Emil Biblow, Chad Shumay and Nicholas Evdokimoff serving as the casket bearers. Memorials in memory of Steve may be made to the Lung Association or St. Mary’s Church as gifts of remembrance. Condolences can be sent to the family at www.baileysfuneralhome.com.

Stackhouse Soapbox and advocacy.” Oh really. What happened to free speech when it comes to female reproductive rights? Trudeau doesn’t stop there. “We will not remove funding from advocacy organizations because we, as a government, happen to disagree with them.” It’s funny if it wasn’t so tragic. An Alberta group called Mustard Seed Street Ministry, which is dedicated to helping the homeless, didn’t qualify for funding this year because, even though their work has nothing to do with opposing abortion, the personal beliefs of those in charge of the organization don’t align with the attestation box. It doesn’t mean they are going to cause problems for people seeking an abortion, they just don’t agree with it. Yet, the Liberals disqualify this particular charity and give money to another group (Dogwood) that is hell bent on killing jobs and stopping a government approved project. Hypocrisy at its finest
and Trudeau has to know this. He just doesn’t care because his supporters will always be his supporters no matter what. In Ontario, media is working overtime to try and get the NDP voted into provincial power. The latest was a fake poll that had the party up by 10% over the Doug Ford Conservatives. After a day and a half, the poll was revealed to be fake. What is also fake is the character sketch of Ford that has him as a Donald Trump clone. Nothing could be further from the truth, yet there are many who buy it because if the media says so, it must be true. I did see a hilarious meme on the NDP the other day that said they have a new McDonald’s Value Meal. It goes like this, ‘Order whatever you want and the guy behind you has to pay for it’. There was another one that had a picture of half a sign for NDP leader Andrea Horvath. The entire right hand side of the sign had been ripped off with a note that sad, ‘I took half of your sign because you had one General Employment General Employment and I didn’t.
