Sept. 7, giving the school community a chance to learn about each other as the new school year began.
Suspect in carjacking arrested By Devin Wilger Staff Writer A suspected carjacking in Yorkton has led to charges. David Allan Shepherd was charged
with Robbery, Theft, Uttering Threats, Forcible Confinement and a provincial Traffic Safety Act offence in relation to an incident that took place outside a restaurant on Broadway Avenue in Yorkton on the evening of Sept. 8.
The accused approached a young person and forced them to drive away from the location, taking them to an ATM and forcing them to withdraw cash, said the RCMP in a release. They then drove south, and the victim was
able to escape in Whitewood, Sk. The accused fled in the victim’s vehicle. The RCMP sought out the public’s assistance in finding Shepherd, and he was arrested in Regina. He is currently remanded in custody.
YRHS saves local Terry Fox Run By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer When Roby Sharpe received a telephone call telling him the annual Terry Fox Run was not going to happen in Yorkton, it didn’t sit right with him. “It would have been the first time in 38 years,” he said. So the Yorkton Regional High School counsellor called the Terry Fox Run office to find out details. The problem was a lack of a local organizing volunteer he was told. Sharpe said the local high
school holds its own Terry Fox Run, scheduled for Friday, and he suggested the community could simply piggy back on the school’s effort. “They wanted it to be on Sunday,” he said, adding a lot of schools organize runs outside community effort. “I thought ‘we can’t not have it in Yorkton’,” he said, adding the run has special meaning since student Chad Young had the same cancer as Fox, losing his leg, and ultimately his life. So Sharpe talked to Chad’s siblings Ben and Chelte about the situation.
It’s close to the community and the school. — Chelte Young, co-event manager “We decided we could probably do it at the school,” he said. “It’s close to the community and the school,” said Chelte, who said she and her brother
were eager to take on a sort of ‘project manager’ role for the walk. Ben echoed his sister’s sentiments. “It’s obviously an event very
dear to the community,” he said, adding having a brother whose journey paralleled Fox’s so closely. So the school will host the community run this Sunday, with registration beginning at 12, and the run at 2. People are also encouraged to pre-register online by following the links at ww.terryfox.org Run staff will be on-hand Sunday to collect the pledges. A hotdog lunch will be offered following the run, and Yorkton Co-op has come onboard to help with supplies for the barbecue.
safeTALK workshops being held By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Part of the money which was raised through the Elias Giannoulis Memorial Hockey Tournament went to Christ the Teacher School Division (CTTSD)
Your Community Connection
to help train people in the safeTALK program. Kerri Shear, with CTTSD, said they were one of three recipients, the others being the Good Spirit School Division and SaskAbilities, of funding which was to target mental health sup-
port in the community. The safeTALK program fits that focus as it is a half-day alertness training that prepares anyone 15 or older, regardless of prior experience or training, to become a suicide-alert helper. Shear explained that
she and Scott Musqua took training in June to be instructors of the safeTALK program, which focuses on helping people in the community help others. The program helps those taking the course better understand what

Perspective Politicians wrong to pick Trump over Trudeau on trade

Murray Mandryk is a political columnist with the Leader Post
Politics There’s very little we can do about the trade problems at the international level that are so critical to us. The best we can hope for is that these problems are not made worse at the national or even at the provincial level by politicians eager to score local political points. The key to this would be for our politicians to not get caught up in games and support the idea that we do need to find a solution. In that regard, a lot of our politicians need to do better. They need to think about how their politicking may cost us in the long run. This is not to say that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau deserves a free pass for his handling of the North America Free Trade Agreement and certainly not for the botched handling of the Trans Mountain pipeline that he purchased from Kinder-Morgan, but can’t now get approval to build. That said, let’s understand there will be a chance for Canadian voters to exercise their frustrations with the Trudeau Liberal government at the polls in a year from now. And there are couple of other things we need to recognize. As suggested by provincial Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy, there really isn’t an issue as important to Saskatchewan as trade. “We need to get a deal. This is incredibly important for our economy, which is probably the most export-dependent in the entire country, and we’ve been concerned about a pattern we’ve been seeing — moving backward on market access, moving backward on trade access, not moving forward,” Harrison recently told the Leader-Post’s David Fraser. All politicians — including Harrison, who does have a penchant for seeing the world through the political lens first — need to keep this foremost in mind. Second, we need to respect that Canadian of all political stripes — Conservatives like former interim leader Rona Ambrose and Liberals like Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland — are working exceedingly hard at getting a NAFTA deal with the U.S. that works in the interests of all Canadians. This is how it should be, for there are just some issues that are bigger than the mundane partisanship politics. There are just times when politicians, pundits and everyone else have to make a pronounced statement that declares their country comes before their politics. This absolutely must apply to the NAFTA talks. And that should now be blatantly obvious to everyone after the story late last month in which U.S. President Donald Trump made it know to journalists with Bloomberg News in off-the-record comments (first reported by the Toronto Star) that any deal reached would be “totally on our terms” and that Canadians would have “no choice” out of fear of tariffs on automobiles. “Off the record, Canada’s working their ass off. And every time we have a problem with a point, I just put up a picture of a Chevrolet Impala,” Trump is reported to have said, referring to a car made at a Canadian GM plant. Yet despite confirmation of Trump’s unfair belligerence that surely must be having an effect on the tactics of the U.S. negotiators handpicked by Trump, we have seen Canadian pundits blame Trudeau for the supposed failure in negotiation. Even worse, we have seen Conservative politicians attempt to use this opportunity to score political points — the worse case of which was likely Saskatchewan Senator David Tkachuk appointed by former Progressive Conservative prime minister Brian Mulroney 28 years ago for the sole purpose of passing a harmonized goods and services tax. Sadly, some Conservatives have eagerly repeated and supported Tkachuk’s position. This is a massive disservice to the nation. There are times when we simply need our politicians to be better. Murray Mandryk has been covering provincial politics for over 22 years.

Youth willing to help community I
t is often a case where society, on a general scale, looks at the youth of the day and laments the future. Throughout the decades, pool rooms, video arcades, and online gaming have all been accused of turning our youth into virtual zombies, putting the future at risk. But when we pause to look past the old clichés, what we find is that many young people are already very involved in creating a better community for everyone. That reality was brought into focus again this week as we learned students at Yorkton Regional High School are taking over hosting the annual Terry Fox Run in the city. The run has been part of our community for nearly 40 years, part of a Canada wide fundraising effort for cancer research, but locally was in jeopardy of not happening in 2018 because of the lack of a volunteer organizer. When it was learned the run might not happen in the city, the school and students stepped up to take leadership ensuring the run will happen this Sunday. Of course, being in support of local cancer research efforts is not new for Yorkton youth. Through the years, many have been part of the Close Cuts initiative, cutting their hair as a way to raise awareness of the need to continue sup-
porting efforts to battle cancer. This year Derek Kienle took part when his father decided to cut off his hair. Derek raised nearly $2000 for the program. Youth involvement in the city is, of course, more than supporting cancer initiatives. This spring, students at YRHS launched a tiny library. The small box on school property is a place anyone in the community can visit to take or leave a book for others to enjoy. It was a simple undertaking, but it also shared the gift of reading with others. And come November, youth involved with the army, air, and sea cadets will be out selling poppies around our city. The annual poppy campaign is a key fundraising effort for the Royal Canadian Legion, as well as helping the community remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to ensure the freedoms we often take for granted in Canada. The list of such projects undertaken by youth is a lengthy one. Groups have picked garbage on our highways, helped raise funds through in-school projects for Telemiracle, and food for the annual FCC Drive Hunger Away program. When good work is needed, our youth are ready to step in and help. Our future should be just fine.

The first image above is an architect’s drawing of the proposed Yorkton Collegiate. The second is a photo of the Yorkton Collegiate likely taken in the 1920s. When architects were asked to design plans for a building they would hire an artist to make a drawing based on building plans they had prepared. The artist’s image would then be produced on a postcard which along with the building blue prints were examined by the builder and contractor. In this case, if we compare more closely the two images, we see that only minor changes to the original plan were made. The architect of this building was Walter William La Chance of Saskatoon. He came West from Ontario in 1905,
during the building boom of settlement days. La Chance opened an office in Regina. The next year, he had established his main office in Saskatoon, with a branch in Prince Albert. A couple years later, he opened offices in North Battleford and in Yorkton. The Yorkton Collegiate Institute located on Darlington Street and First Avenue North (the school land included a stretch of Betts Avenue) was opened on December 20, 1911. In settlement days, and for years to come, the postcard was a very popular medium. It was great for those who were not inclined to letter writing. It was also used to advertise businesses and events. Today, architects use CAD software to make their drawings. Contact Terri Lefebvre Prince, Heritage Researcher, City of Yorkton Archives, Box 400, 37 Third Avenue North Yorkton, Sask.

A handful of volunteers gave a Yorkton transitional home a renovation on Sept. 5. The Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA) organized its second annual “Day of Sharing” this month. It’s an initiative where SIGA employees volunteer in their communities. SIGA chose the Yorkton Transitional Homes
for Youth (YTHY) as this year’s project. Volunteers painted the walls at the 353 Bradbrooke Drive transitional home last Wednesday. “It’s a good partnership,” said Antony Allary, YTHY Executive Director. “We’re appreciative.”
From Vimy to Juno to Saltcoats By Devin Wilger Staff Writer “From Vimy to Juno” is a travelling exhibition, which has educated people across Canada about our country’s role in the first and second world wars. The next stop for the exhibition will be close to home, as the community of Saltcoats is
preparing to host the exhibition in September and October, thanks to the Saltcoats Historical Society. The exhibition includes the personal stories of men who experienced the two wars firsthand, including Major John Archibald MacNaughton, who fought in the 104th
Battalion in the first World War and enlisted again at the age of 42 at the outbreak of the Second World War. The community of Saltcoats is proud to be hosting the exhibition at the Saltcoats Community Hall, and has planned events to commemorate the beginning and end of
the exhibition. The grand opening will be on Sept. 16, at 1:00 p.m. at the cenotaph in Saltcoats, explained Jim McCallum. They will then move to the Saltcoats Community Hall to officially open the exhibition. The Yorkton Legion will be assisting with the grand opening ceremony. At the end of the exhi-
bition’s time in town, there will be an official closing ceremony. On Oct. 14 at 2:00 p.m., at the Saltcoats Community Hall, the official closing ceremony will take place, followed by a concert by the Side by Side Quartet called Lest We Forget, featuring songs from the war years. Between those two
dates, people can visit the exhibition from Monday to Thursday. McCallum notes that many schools have already scheduled a tour, and they have received the support of Legions throughout the area. “We feel very, very proud to have it.”
Wagantall preps for Ottawa By Sean Mott Staff Writer
After a busy and successful summer, MP Cathay Wagantall is ready to jump back into the political fracas in Ottawa next week. “It’s been a really profitable [summer],” she said. “Good mix of work.” The Yorkton-Melville representative with the federal Conservative
Party is heading back to the House of Commons on Sept. 17. The Deputy Critic for Veterans Affairs has been working with her fellow party members to hit the ground running in Parliament next week. “We’ve been preparing all summer,” she said. Wagantall spent her summer reconnecting with family and friends while balancing her work responsibilities. She
interacted with refugees and visited Vimy Ridge in France. “It was very sobering,” she said. The Conservative Party’s biggest event of the summer was its convention in Halifax in August. Hundreds of Conservatives, including Wagantall, flocked to the East Coast city for three days. Wagantall felt the convention was a great rallying point for the party.
“The atmosphere was very positive,” she said. The Conservative convention occured during an unstable moment for the party. Maxime Bernier, the controversial MP, had just left the party to form his own political group. Wagantall was disappointed with Bernier’s actions, but she hopes the party can move on. “Maxime... was not able to be a team player,” she said. “People feel betrayed by what he’s said and done.” Back in Saskatchewan, Wagantall spent time meeting her constituents and listening to their con-
cerns. “[There was] lots of good feedback,” she said. “[There were] concerns over infrastructure, water purification... the carbon tax, and the pipeline. “Talking to people in our constituencies is job one.” Heading back to Parliament, Wagantall plans to continue helping with the party’s major plans and highlighting issues that matter to her riding. She wants to keep fighting against Mefloquine, a widelycriticized malaria medication used on soldiers. Wagantall will be participating in a Mefloquine
rally in Ottawa. “There’s a lot of unrest in the veterans community,” she said. Wagantall and her party are preparing their platform for the 2019 federal election, laying out their plans for the carbon tax, immigration, regulations, and other topics. “We want to make promises we can keep,” she said. “We’re all on the same page.” Wagantall hopes the new batch of House of Commons sittings will highlight the topics that impact everyday people. “There are issues that are important to Canadians,” she said.

Council Meeting Monday, September 17, 2018 at 5:00 p.m. BYLAW FAST FACTS Recreational Vehicle Parking
Did you know? The Property Standards Bylaw No. 18/2017 states that Recreation Vehicles cannot be parked in a residential front yard but are permitted to be parked in a driveway from April 1st to October 31st. Recreational Vehicles include: All Terrain Vehicles (ATV’s), boat and trailer the boat rests on, motorhome, camper trailers, 5th wheel camper trailers, tent trailers, camper conversions, or vehicles deemed to be recreational vehicles by an Inspector. The Traffic Bylaw No. 18/2017 also states, that trailers including campers or fifth wheel campers are not allowed to be parked unattached from the towing vehicle on City streets Why does the City regulate this? The Property Standards Bylaw aims to maintain continuity in residential neighbourhoods and appealing properties in the city. The Traffic Bylaw restricts campers being left unattached as it is a safety concern should it need to be moved during an emergency. .

Health Foundation sets course for gala By Sean Mott Staff Writer The Health Foundation is setting sail this October and it’s inviting Yorkton to come aboard. The group is hosting its 23rd annual gala evening fundraiser at St. Mary’s Cultural Centre on Oct. 20. The alwayspopular event will feature music, raffle prizes, silent auctions, and a unique premise. The gala’s theme is “An Evening on the Titanic.” St. Mary’s will be decked out to replicate the look and style of the famous ocean liner. “Decorations will be fabulous,” said Diane Rusnak, Chair of the Gala Committee. “It’ll be like walking onto the Titanic.” The dinner will be a special tribute to the Titanic. St. Mary’s staff will be using several recipes from the Titanic’s final supper during the gala. While the dinner
won’t feature all 17 dishes from the Titanic’s last feast, it’s still expected to be a good meal. The event will also feature a signature drink called the Iceberg. As always, the gala will be raising money for medical equipment. This year, proceeds will go towards a digital microscopy system at the Yorkton Regional Hospital. Rusnak thanked the gala’s many sponsors and her team for making the popular evening event possible. “I’ve got a fabulous committee,” she said. The gala starts with cocktails at 5 p.m. followed by dinner at 7 p.m. Gala tickets cost $125 per entrant. Order forms can be found at the Health Foundation building at 41 Betts Avenue, online at https:// www.thehealthfoundation.ca/the-gala.html, or by calling 306-786-0507.

St. Andrew’s United Church held its annual fall rummage sale last week. The fundraiser was an opportunity to find just the right item that someone else no longer needed, and there were a huge variety of such items.
Over 100 nominations have been received for the 13th Celebrate Success Business Awards hosted by the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce. Donna Brothwell, Chair of the Celebrate Success Committee is pleased with the number of nominations. “The Chamber appreciates everyone who took the time to nominate a business or organization and to the businesses which showed the initiative to nominate themselves,” he said. “The Awards are an ideal time for businesses to be recognized for their achievements and contributions to the community.” There are 10 categor-
ies for Businesses. In addition, the Community Merit category is for notfor-profit organizations and events. “This category enables the community to recognize those organizations which contribute to the overall quality of life and economy of the community,” explained Brothwell. Now that the Nominee Packages have been submitted, Juanita Polegi, Executive Director indicated the judging process will begin. “An independent panel of seven judges will be convened to review the nominations and select the Award recipients,” she said. “And from all the nominations received,

River Day supports water’s importance Farmers have generally tended to be responsible in terms of caring for the land they farm. Certainly, there are examples to the opposite, examples of farm run-offs causing issues, and land being less farmed, and more mined, but those approaches are more a thing of the past, at least among informed modern farmers. The sector as a whole has come to understand land is a resource which must be managed in a way which ensures its viability over the long term. Tightly connected to those efforts, at least in
my mind, is a need to be sustainably responsible in terms of the resource of water. That is where something such as World Rivers Day, set for Sept. 23, is important. “World Rivers Day is a celebration of the world’s waterways,” details www.worldriversday.com. “It highlights the many values of our rivers, strives to increase public awareness, and encourages the improved stewardship of all rivers around the world. Rivers in virtually every country face an array of threats, and only through our active involvement can we ensure their health

Calvin Daniels in the years ahead.” I n t e r e s t i n g l y, although perhaps not surprising given the interest in conservation many in this country have, Canada played a role in the establishment of the day. “In 2005, the United Nations launched the Water for Life Decade
to help create a greater awareness of the need to better care for our water resources,” details the website. “Following this, the establishment of World Rivers Day was in response to a proposal initiated by internationally renowned river advocate, Mark Angelo. “The proposal for a
global event to celebrate rivers was based on the success of BC Rivers Day, which Mark Angelo had founded and led in western Canada since 1980. A World Rivers Day event was seen by agencies of the UN as a good fit for the aims of the Water for Life Decade and the proposal was approved. River enthusiasts from around the world came together to organize the inaugural WRD event. That first event in 2005 was a great success and Rivers Day was celebrated across dozens of countries. Since then, the event has continued to grow. It is annually celebrated on the last Sunday of
Controlled burns can be a useful toll in land management
every September. “Last year, several million people across more than 60 countries celebrated the many values of our waterways.” Awareness of the critical nature of our water, and the role rivers play not just as a water source, but an economic driver in terms of transportation, including grain movement, and recreation, is important. Also important is farmers recognizing their role in protecting and preserving surface water sources such as our rivers. Calvin Daniels is Editor with Yorkton This Week.

Burns are important to grasslands The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) and the University of Saskatchewan (U of S), are partnering to research management strategies which influence where cattle and bison graze. The NCC and U of S, with significant contributions from Meewasin Valley Authority, has conducted the first in a series of prescribed burns for a research project taking place at the Old Man on His Back Prairie and Heritage Conservation Area (OMB). The prescribed burns are part of a five-year research project to better understand how to influence where cattle and bison graze at OMB, and how fire, as a natural disturbance, changes the plant community. Spring and fall burns are tentatively planned for the area over the next three years. As part of the research, NCC and the U of S worked with local livestock producers, using GPS collars to track cattle and bison movements. The Meewasin Valley Authority, with a history of using prescribed burns for similar
This research project with the U of S provides an excellent opportunity for NCC to work in partnership with multiple partners to implement the safe and effective use of prescribed fire in Saskatchewan. — Matthew Braun, Manager of Conservation Science and Planning, Nature Conservancy of Canada, Saskatchewan conservation goals, provided equipment and expert personnel to support the project. The Frontier Fire Department was also on hand participating in the burn. “This research project with the U of S provides an excellent opportunity for NCC to work in partnership with multiple partners to implement the safe and effective use of prescribed fire in Saskatchewan. Prescribed fire, like grazing, is a tool for managing the disturbance-driven ecosystems of Saskatchewan,” said Matthew Braun, Manager
of Conservation Science and Planning, Nature Conservancy of Canada, Saskatchewan Region The small burn patches will help U of S researchers learn if the grass that grows back following a fire attracts animals to under-used parts of a pasture. Fire makes a quick reduction in the height of vegetation, and it changes the growing conditions for the plants. The regrowth of plants after a fire attracts grazing animals, which benefit from the higher protein content of the grass. Unlike wildfires that gener-
ally happen when the weather is hot and dry and are made worse by wind, a prescribed burn is a fire set intentionally, under very strict weather and moisture conditions, to achieve specific results. There are many variables that influence whether or not a prescribed burn can occur, including humidity, temperature and wind speed. Prescribed burns will only be conducted when every one of the very specific conditions are met. These prescribed burns create a mix of varied vegetation heights that result in a var-
iety of habitats for grassland species while maintaining forage for grazing cattle and bison. Fire may also be used to reduce some of the invasive plants growing at OMB. This work is all part of ensuring that OMB continues to be a healthy home for the birds and animals that live there, as well as a working ranch that provides quality forage for ranchers partnering with NCC. “This project was designed to encourage collaboration between agencies interested in addressing complex environmental issues. Fire suppression across the Canadian prairies over the last 100 years has decreased the variety of habitats available to native species, which have adapted to periodic disturbances by fire and grazing. I think this is a great opportunity for non-governmental organizations, academia and the agriculture industry to partner for enhanced stewardship of our precious grasslands for positive ecological and economic outcomes,” said Dale Gross, M.Sc., PhD candidate, University of Saskatchewan.
Harvest stays ahead of recent years’ pace Despite a cool and damp week in much of the province, producers took advantage of breaks in the weather to make considerable harvest progress this week, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Weekly Crop Report. Thirtynine per cent of the crop is now in the bin, well ahead of the five-year (2013-2017) average of 25 per cent for this time of year. Thirty-two per cent of the crop is now swathed or ready to straight-cut. Harvest is most advanced in the southwestern region, where 60 per cent of the crop is
now combined. The southeastern region has 56 per cent combined, the west-central and the east-central regions has 32 per cent. The northeastern region has 14 per cent combined, while the northwestern region has eight per cent combined. Ninety-seven per cent of fall rye, 92 per cent of winter wheat, 83 per cent of lentils, 86 per cent of field peas, 53 per cent of mustard, 49 per cent of durum, 46 per cent of barley, 28 per cent of spring wheat and 19 per cent of canola have now been combined. Twentysix per cent of oats, 30 per cent
of chickpeas, eight per cent of canaryseed and five per cent of flax have been combined. Fifty-seven per cent of canola, 34 per cent of spring wheat and 11 per cent of mustard are swathed or ready to straightcut. Not much progress has been made on soybeans, with harvest progress at five per cent combined, similar to the previous week. Across the province, topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as 22 per cent adequate, 47 per cent short and 31 per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is
rated as 18 per cent adequate, 41 per cent short and 41 per cent very short. The majority of crop damage this past week was due to lack of moisture and strong wind. There were some reports of frost causing damage in parts of the province. Producers are busy swathing and combining crops. SaskPower reports four cases of farm machinery coming in contact with power
equipment over the last week, bringing the total in August to 22. SaskPower reminds everyone to take their time and to be aware of overhead power lines crossing fields and farm yards this harvest season.

Dance studios, karate clubs, and sports teams put their best feet forward as they tried to attract new members to their groups at Yorkton’s City Wide Registration Night on Sept. 5. Dozens of parents and kids filled the Flexihall as they perused the recreational offerings from around town.
I can’t really explain the appeal of the 1990s Once, as a young man, I asked my mom to explain the 1970s. Having lived through them, I reasoned that she would have some sort of explanation for the thick carpet, the strange colours like harvest gold and avocado, the generally offputting design. Surely, nobody actually thought any of this was a good idea, I thought as a kid, so someone really has to explain what on earth everyone was thinking. She didn’t really have an explanation, much to my disappointment. But I understand, because now that we are the same distance from the 1990s, I can’t explain what we were thinking then, either.
It’s easy to make fun of a lot of it now, but then I remembered thinking a lot of this stuff was actually legitimately cool. I responded to ‘90s advertising, which had eighty different fonts, half of which were difficult to read and all of which were trying a bit too hard to be edgy. I liked ‘90s design, which was all about soft corners and generally making things that looked like heavilyused bars of soap. I thought the background in my school photos, which looked like a laser battle in space, was genuinely cool. I actually asked my mom for frosted tips. She said no, and she was correct, so there are no pictures of me

Thinking I do with words... with the most famous ‘90s haircut. Looking at it now, many of those things seem awful. Part of this is inevitably because of context. When they’re presented in contrast with modern things, they look different, weird, and old. But at the time, when they were part of the same trends where everyone was doing it, they
looked normal. And, in some cases, they even looked good. I mean, I might make fun of transparent purple plastic now, but I had a Game Boy in that plastic – known as “Atomic Purple” because it was the ‘90s – and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. Honestly, I look at it with fondness. In some ways, I secret-
ly wish some stuff from that decade would make a comeback. Colour is a big one. If you buy a car, for example, you often have a choice of a black interior or, if you’re feeling really daring, a black interior. But back then you could get all sorts of colours inside your car, and on the outside you could get weird purples or wild greens. I miss the bright reds and pinks that the decade was obsessed with, even if I can understand why we toned it way down in the years since, probably out of fatigue. I also definitely think transparent plastic is still cool, because I like seeing how things work, even if I understand it’s a cheesy effect
to many people. I can recognize that a lot of the stuff I thought was cool back then has not held up. I can understand if someone thinks that the ‘90s were a low point in human endeavor, and I can’t explain why I liked what I did during the decade. But there are a few things that, when I look back on them, I think are secretly still cool. I’m sure, in 2038, someone will wonder why we thought 2018 designs 2018 looked good. We might not have a clear answer, but it’s going to be fun to see what we’re embarrassed by when we reflect on the trends of today. Though they can’t possibly look worse than the 1970s.

Novel reflects on the Prairies By Sean Mott Staff Writer
Ron Thompson’s latest book is a two-fold homecoming. Narratively, it tells the story of returning to your original community and confronting the past. For Thompson, writing the novel was a chance to reflect on and celebrate his home province. Thompson, a writer living in Toronto, grew up in Yorkton. He moved away after high school, dabbling with naval work, European backpacking, and banking. Wherever he went, his rural upbringing stayed with him. “The Prairies can mark you for life,” he said. In 2015, Thompson published his first novel, “A Man of Letters,” a satire on the writing process. This year he’s releasing a prequel to “Letters” entitled “Poplar Lake.” Set in the 1990s, it details a young man’s return trip to his Prairie hometown of Poplar Lake as he introduces his girlfriend to his family. As the man revisits his old stomping grounds, he’s forced to eventually reckon with his difficult past. There are heavy and dark moments in the novel, but Thompson strove to maintain a comedic tone throughout. “I told the story in a satiric way,” he said. “There are a lot of jokes [in it].” Thompson based the fictional town of Poplar Lake after Yorkton. He got the name when he visited the town during the 2010 flood. It seemed as though the city was
under a lake. “It’s inspired by the Yorkton experience,” he said. In the novel, Thompson presents themes of shared history and how the past can
haunt us even when we try to bury it. “I want to explore how we could be blind to the violence below the surface,” he said. Thompson was drawn to the Prairies as a set-
ting for his novel due to its rich history. He sees the Prairies as a place with positive and negative elements constantly intermingling. Some people can drive through the Prairies and see nothing
but boring flatlands while others can see acres upon acres of farmlands ready for use. “The Prairies are interesting because people can see what they want [to see],” he said. “[They] can be what you make it.” Thompson appreciates his home province for its vast open plains that contain a hidden beauty. “It’s a subtle landscape,” he said. “It grows on you. “It’s not boring; it’s rich.” While writing “Poplar Lake,” Thompson worked with a lot of material. He had to be merciless with his own work and chop out large chunks of the
novel to make it flow smoothly. As is the case with most authors, the editing process was tricky. “Reigning myself in [was the hardest part],” he said. “[There were] probably 20,000 words I cut out.” In an age of entertainment overload, Thompson is thrilled to have a second novel hit the bookstore shelves. “It’s hard to get published,” he said. “It feels good. “[‘Poplar Lake’] is the best little book no one’s heard of yet.” “Poplar Lake” will be released on Oct. 15 through Non Publishing. It will be available at the Yorkton Coles bookstore.

Sonja Pawliw chats with gallery attendees about her art collection during the opening of her exhibit on Sunday.
Pawliw exhibit offers trip through decades By Sean Mott Staff Writer Sonja Pawliw wishes she could find more room in her house. At the moment, her home is stuffed with paintings, mosaics, and other projects. She’s filled every square inch with art. She wants to redesign her house to have sliding walls so she can store her work away. “It’s overwhelming,” she said. Luckily for Pawliw, the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery took some of her artistic endeavours off her hands. They sifted through Pawliw’s decades-old projects and selected a handful of outstanding materials. They moved the pieces to the gallery, creating a brand-new exhibition.
“They knew what to choose,” Pawliw said. “They did such a good job. “I was very humbled.” The exhibition, titled “Sonja Pawliw: Living Garden,” opened on Sept. 9. Sonja’s friends, family, and fans filled the gallery for an afternoon reception, enjoying a selection of food and the wide variety of art. “The exhibition is a retrospective of Sonja’s work and it demonstrates all the different mediums she’s engaged with over the years,” said Edie Skeard, co-curator of the exhibit. “We wanted to show how diverse her work is. “It’s fantastic.” Pawliw has worked with the art gallery for years, often con-
tributing to its annual local artist event. Executive Director Don Stein reached out to Pawliw to make a specialized exhibit for the fall. “I had the idea that if we took all the work she did in the last 10 years, we’d have enough for a show,” he said. The exhibit’s offerings stretch beyond the last decade. The work encapsulates Pawliw’s experiences from the current year to her childhood. “It’s the last 60 years of my life,” she said. Pawliw is best known in Yorkton for her garden (which won the “Canada 150 Garden Experience” award last year). Skeard built off that reputation when she designed the exhibit’s layout.
“I grouped things by theme,” she said. “I tried to build pathways through the different works, much like pathways in a garden.” The exhibit is full of landscapes and intimate portraits of nature, with a specific focus on Pawliw’s visit to Ukraine. There are also several mosaic shoes and orbs. Mosaic is the art of creating something using small pieces of coloured glass. Pawliw enjoys breaking glass for her mosaics. “It does take out some frustrations,” she joked. One of Pawliw’s proudest creations is an obituary she made for her grandmother when she was 15. She wrote it in Ukrainian on glass. Pawliw credits her grandmother for nourishing her creative spirit.
“My grandma was my angel, my soul,” she said. Pawliw wants to make more time to explore creative ventures in the future. She plans to spend less time with chores and more time feeding her artistic side. “Don’t waste any time because life goes by so fast,” she said. “Age is something you can’t hold back. “I always make time for the things I like to do.” Pawliw is thankful for the opportunity to share her art with the public. She hopes she can contiune to create and explore. “I’m sort of in a high cloud right now,” she said. “I’m very grateful for my health and my ability.”

First meeting of fall for Hort. Society It’s meeting time again! The first meeting of the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society will be on Wednesday, September 19 at 7:00 p.m. at SIGN on North Street. Our special guest speaker will be Jenn Fedun speaking to us about “Prairie Plant Practices: Domestic Remedies and Healing Rituals”. This sounds like a fascinating topic, a great way to begin the year. Everyone is welcome; you don’t have to be a member of the group to come to the meetings. It will be a busy week — our first meeting on Wednesday, then on Friday it’s the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society Annual Fall Bulb and Plant Sale, Friday, September 21 from 9:30 a.m. till 5 p.m. at the Parkland Mall in Yorkton. If you want to replace, restock, or rejuvenate your garden, this sale offers you the perfect chance to find some interesting new plants for your collection! Gardeners will be on hand to answer your questions or offer some plant suggestions. Planting now still gives plants lots of time to get settled in before winter. Everyone is welcome! Sit down for a quick cup of tea with me, and I’ll share some other information I read about in Jim and Lois Hole’s wonderful book “Bedding Plants: Practical Advice and the Science Behind It”. I know some gardeners have mentioned taking cuttings of petunias in the fall; some have success with this project. Have you ever tried it? It was new to me, but there was actually a question in the book about this very thing. Lois and Jim each had comments about this experiment. Lois’ comments were that she wouldn’t recommend it because the low light, dry air and warm temperatures in our homes would not be good for the petunias. Jim’s comments said that home conditions in general were not suited to overwintering
DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
Gardener’s Notebook many plants. He said that while our average light conditions were bright enough for overwintering plants like geraniums, they would not be bright enough for many plant cuttings. Conditions in our homes in the winter would cause the plants to use up their plant energy without proper conditions to replenish it. And there is the possibility of bringing in plant diseases. Mandevilla vines were also another plant mentioned. These beautiful plants find it hard to adjust from the bright light of being outside in the summer to the lower light of our homes in the winter. If you have previously brought in your mandevilla and it started to lose its leaves and didn’t bloom, you are not doing anything wrong! The poor plant just can’t adapt that easily to the move. The advice in the Hole book is to find a spot for the mandevilla that offers cool temperatures and a bright window, facing south if possible. In the spring, cut it back, give it a spring-
tonic of some fertilizer, and it will be on its way to a healthy new start! If you collect garden books for your own reference library, this one is definitely one to add to your collection. Miss Lois was such an amazing plants person, so knowledgeable and down-toearth, with a real feel for plants and how to encourage them to do the best they can for us. I’m sure she is missed by the Canadian gardening community! I have several of her books in my collection and I refer to them often. They are wonderful! Looking for veggies? The season is not over yet! Remember that you can find locally-grown produce at the Yorkton Gardeners’ Market, every Saturday from 8:00 a.m. till noon at Melrose and Simpson streets in Yorkton (north parking lot of the Prairie Harvest Christian Life Centre).

God brings good surprises on the other side of pain
Yorkton This Week | www.YorktonThisWeek.com | Wednesday, September 12, 2018
When necessity forced me from the world of freelance writing and speaking into using those skills to earn a regular paycheque, I never imagined the blessing of a desk of my own in a quiet office. Three desks, actually, in three different offices so far. As a former interior decorator, the spaces in which I work contribute to the quality of that work. I can’t help it. God made me that way. I can’t function in a space without order or something beautiful within eyeshot.
All three offices have surprised me. I adored the first, a purple corner room overlooking a cherry orchard, which the sun set aflame each autumn. Office two had white walls, green plants and enough room to dance on the worn rug in the middle (not that I could). My third and current office has milk chocolate walls, white crown moldings, oil paintings and hardwood floors. Even a fireplace. Beside me. The pleasure I’ve found in working closely
Treasures by the table full A huge two-day rummage sale was held at St. Gerard’s Parish Hall last week. The annual sale attracts large crowds each year, including a line-

with others after my lone ranger season of freelancing has surprised me too. I’ve served three remarkable bosses, worked with and learned from colleagues I’ve
greatly appreciated, even loved. Together, we’ve laughed, cried, prayed, travelled and hammered out plans and problems. We’ve negotiated turns over the only washroom in each of those three buildings. We’ve done silly and we’ve done serious. We’ve enjoyed decadent food some days and picked at meagre fare on others. Some co-workers have remained friends even after leaving our team. My freelancing years, writing from my home office for magazines,
newspapers and radio; editing and publishing the occasional book, provided satisfaction in all ways but one. The Law of Attraction never worked for me. I hated selling my work. Based on my own (often entirely lacking) sales pitch, I may not have bought my own books. So when in 2007, neurological West Nile Disease forced the Preacher to permanently leave full-time ministry – and a full-time paycheque – my decision became clear: abandon freelancing to take my turn as primary provider. Regular money from others for doing what one loves attracts in its own way. Fear often engulfed me in those wilderness years surrounding the Preacher’s devastating disease. Years filled with confusion, loss and pain. But God used the prayers and overwhelming,
A13
even shocking, kindness of others to calm those fears, meeting our needs through a multitude of kind people, many of them strangers. Ultimately, every blessing you and I enjoy comes from above. “God is better to us than we deserve,” I say often. Today, before I leave for work in the morning, the Preacher and I join hands to pray. We thank God for waking us up, for another new day when none are guaranteed. For our family and our work (he volunteers in several capacities and often substitutes for pastors absent from their pulpits), for our friends and home (we never expected to own one). For reliable vehicles. For enough to share with others. And especially for his amazing surprises. Why not try counting yours?

I think about the end of the world a lot. Call it a a morbid fascination or the byproduct of too many late night Space channel marathons. When I’ve got some free time, my mind wanders, sifting through any number of random nonsense (howow can Jungle Book and Tailspin be in the same universe?). But more often than not, I’ll land on the apocalypse. I’m drawn to Armageddon. I’m not interested in Roland Emmerich-style mass destruction the end of the world entails; I think about the after-

math. I think about how society might rebuild. I think about what new species might climb to the top of the food chain. But most of all, I think about humanity’s legacy. How will be remembered? What will future generations think of us? I picture a desert wasteland. Buildings and monuments are buried in the sand. One thing protrudes out of the ground: The toothy grin of a Minion doll. That will be our legacy. Jeez, I need to lighten up. I apologize for that last paragraph. I said my
SEAN MOTT
Settling in... piece on Minions months ago. I don’t mean to rehash old news. But that’s what I found myself doing yesterday. In a group chat with some friends, we landed on the topic of Minions. I retold on my hyperbolic, opin-
ion on the yellow icons. Once I’d gotten that rant out of my system, the conversation moved onto the topic of memes. By which I mean we barraged each other with bizarre jokes. Memes are the dominant form of communica-
tion online. People bombard message boards and personal chats with grainy pictures with outof-context dialogue. Images are repeated and regurgitated, losing all original meaning. The meme is Internet street art. People complain there’s nothing original left in art. While that’s true to an extent (and it’s always been that way if you look at art history), memes prove that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Undoubetedly, most of meme culture is trash. Memes can be lame, offensive, unfunny, or all
three. Memes are junk food. But they can be delicious junk. They allow for real comedic experimentation. Their virality make them a universal language. Memes provide an escape in our tough times. Perhaps that’ll be our final l e g a c y. Archaeologists will uncover our civilization and among the scientific breakthroughs and artistic endeavours, they’ll find a photo of Spongebob hitting the dab. Perhaps we’ll be known as the Fortnite Dance Society. One can dream.

B SECTION
Dragonboats race across York Lake By Sean Mott Staff Writer The Yorkton Canoe and Kayak Club (YCKC) brought its summer season to an epic close this past weekend with its fifth
annual fall dragonboat race. Four teams competed in the day-long event on Sept. 8 at York Lake. Paddlers filled their boats and squared off with their opponents in a series of round-robin-style
races. The day got off to a rocky start when, in the first race, the dragonboats bumped into each other, causing one dragon head to fall from the boat. Luckily, thanks to a quick tape repair,
the head was reattached and the races proceeded without incident. After a long day of races, the Columbia Cougars, the YCKC home team, and YCS Royals came in fourth, third, and sec-
ond place, repsectively. The Dragon Our Asses team came in first place for the second year in a row. YCKC’s next big event will be an indoor dragonboat competition in February.
Terriers change season tickets By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Terriers have made changes to their season tickets, and it is causing a ripple of concern with some. “There’s been a little bit of minor controversy,” admitted Ryan Kormos marketing and public relations manager with the team. In the past a season ticket was simply a book of tickets which could
be used for any home game over the course of the season. A person could use one per game, or if they had extra tickets because they missed games, they could hand them out to friends. This year the tickets in a season ticket package are “game day specific,” said Kormos. While the plan is to offer one or two ‘make up games’ where ticket holders can use up unused tickets, they are gener-
ally to be used for the game on the ticket. So why a change the Terriers knew was likely to ruffle some feathers? “The biggest thing, it was a business decision,” said Kormos. It was recognized over the last few games of the regular season people would be standing in line willing to buy tickets, and season ticket holders were walking up and handing them what was basically free
access, said Kormos, adding in the third last home game of the season it was estimated 70 tickets were handed out, which means a loss of $1000 to the team. Considering it is felt the situation extended over three or four games at year end, it was felt something needed to be done. Kormos said the idea of game specific tickets are not new to the league, and is standard at the
major junior and professional sports levels. While the change is causing some questions among ticket buyers, Kormos added the team has created some options for those still wanting to use their tickets at a game of their choosing. “We’ve tried to eliminate some of the issue by adding 10 and 15-game flex packs,” he said. The packs are a group of tickets which can be used anytime, by the pur-
Weekend football frenzy
chaser or friends. And, the flex packs still offer a saving, about $3 per ticket, or $30 on a 10-pack compared to single game walk-up pricing. Kormos said the team appreciates the change will require some getting used to, but encouraged fans to understand it was done to help the team. “We hope fans will embrace this positive change, and help us grow with the changes,” he said.

Yorkton’s youngest players continued on their path to football supremacy over the weekend. Dozens of pint-sized players occupied the field at YRHS on
Sept. 8 and 9 for two days of gridiron action.
Something to consider…
It’s unwise to pay too much... but it’s worse to pay too little. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.
The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot — it can’t be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run.

Big week ahead in local sports
Generally, this is a space I devout to being an armchair sports fan. While this is very much a local community newspaper, when it comes to sports, fans take a much broader approach to what is considered community. Anyone who wears a Roughrider jersey while sitting at home watching the team play on the television is certainly part of the fan community of the team when it comes to the Canadian Football League franchise. I am proudly among a growing legion of fans who count themselves part of Rush Nation in support of our province’s National Lacrosse League team. And there are many who feel part of ‘We The North’ in supporting the
Toronto Raptors, a community which is most certainly a coast-tocoast sensation among Canadian basketball fans. But this week I have to draw things back closer to home. In the next 10 days, a couple of major sport events are taking place in our city which might interest local fans. The annual ‘Friday Nite Lights’ game takes place this week with the Yorkton Regional Raider Gridders hosting Weyburn at Century Field. The game, which kicks-off at 7 p.m., has become the showcase game of the season for the Raiders, a team that is coming off a 2017 season where they won their league’s championship and made it
CALVIN DANIELS
Sports to the provincial final before losing a game. The Raider program is a strong one, based in-part on a minor football program which is developing young players so they are ready to fit in and contribute when they hit the high school program. While 2017 will be long-remembered for its successes, the Raider program has been producing some very good football players of late. That success is reflected in the number
of former Raiders playing college ball. Canada West (Western Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Association) is one of the top college football conferences in the country. The games of the University of Regina and University of Saskatchewan are fortunately being shown on SaskTel Max and it is a great opportunity to see more three-down football and a preview of some of the players who will progress to the
CFL. It’s also a chance to watch former Raiders. Layne Hull and Grey McKen are with the U of R Rams, while Noah Zerr and Mathew Mandzuik are on the U of S Huskies. Mike and Peter Kozushka are with the U of A Golden Bears.
They are all starters except Mandzuik, who is a true freshman and will redshirt this season, reported Raider coach Roby Sharpe. Caleb Bymak was with Calgary but was forced to retire due to injuries. Also on the horizon is the start of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League season. The local Terriers start action on the road Friday in Weyburn,
head to Estevan Tuesday and then start defence of the Farrell Agencies Arena next Friday (Sept. 21) against the Red Wings. Frankly, I will say the league probably starts too soon, and that is not just because I don’t like the way hockey bleeds into late summer and late spring these days. The Terriers, and frankly most teams in the SJHL these days, struggle for fan numbers, and it is not helpful when rural fans (those who farm) are likely to miss games the first few weeks of the season because harvest trumps junior hockey. But alas the league has gone down the early start road, so fans not busy with the options of fall will want to remember the home opener.
Terriers ready for season start By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Preparations continue for the Yorkton Terriers on the eve of the upcoming Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. “There’s been a lot of hard decisions to be made,” said Terrier head coach Mat Hehr on
Monday. But decisions were made, as Hehr has trimmed the roster to 25, down from the 33 left in training camp on Sept. 3. “At the start of the week we had 33. That’s a lot of bodies, it’s almost impossible to teach,” he said. The Terriers did play a
pair of pre-season games against the Manitoba Junior Hockey League opposition. Last Thursday, Yorkton was in Waywayseecappo, dropping a 1-0 decision. “We played our rookie forwards and veteran defence,” he said. The tandem of veteran netminder Ben Laidlaw
“Lots of offence, that’s going to be what our team prides itself on.” — Terrier coach Mat Hehr and newcomer Ryan Oullette split time in net, allowing only the one goal against. Saturday in Swan River against Swan Valley, Hehr said he dressed a line-up he expects will be close to his opening day roster, coming away with a 5-4
win. “We played very well. I’m very happy with the performance Saturday,” said Hehr. The real teaching starts now for the team. “You can’t get to detailed with too many systems in one week,” said Hehr, adding they
will be focusing on some key systems leading up to the opener Friday. The Terriers start their regular season Friday in Weyburn, then head to Estevan Tuesday, before opening on home ice Friday, Sept. 21, with the Red Wings providing the opposition. So what should fans expect early in the season from the Terriers? “Lots of offence, that’s going to be what our team prides itself on,” he said, adding they will focus “on trying to play a 200foot game.”

Volleyball tournament kicks season off By Sean Mott Staff Writer Sacred Heart High School (SHHS) hosted its annual senior boys’ volleyball tournament last weekend, attracting players from across Saskatchewan for two days of high-energy, kinetic court action. Teams from SHHS, Yorkton Regional, Melville, Langenburg, Hepburn, Sturgis, Nipawin, and Regina competed in a round-robin-style series of games on Sept. 7 and 8. The Sacred Heart team started the round-robin on the right foot, defeating Langenburg, Hepburn, and Nipawin in hard-fought games. “The team’s confidence improved throughout the tournament as court positioning was established and they began to focus on their offense,” said SHHS coach Curtis Moen in a press release. Sacred Heart landed in fourth place after the round-robin, securing a bronze medal game with the Winston Kroll team from Regina. Kroll won two sets 25-22 and 25-16, sending Sacred Heart home emptyhanded. The YRHS team faired much better. The placed first in the round-robin, landing a gold medal game against Melville. YRHS easily dispatched with Melville, winning two straight sets to nab the top prize. “[It was a] great start to the year,” said YRHS coach Dion Pfeifer in a press release.

OHOCHINSKY - Henry Joseph Ohochinsky was born on July 17, 1942 at Foam Lake, SK, a son of Nick and Mary (nee Stinkoway) Ohochinsky. He was raised in the area and following high school worked in several fields, including construction, but mostly worked as a painter and was known for his high quality work and attention to detail. As a boy he played hockey and in later years coached in the 1960’s and into the mid 70’s. This created some long term friendships for him and his family. He had a love for hunting and fishing and enjoyed doing this in the Par Hill and McBride Lake area where he built a cabin that he enjoyed for years. Along with his love of hockey and the Maple Leafs, he was a staunch Rider fan and took in many games over the years in person and watching on TV. He was an avid gardener and definitely had a green thumb as he always grew enough to share with family and friends. He will be sadly missed by his family and friends. Henry passed away on August 29, 2018 at the Regina General Hospital following a short battle with pneumonia. He was 76 years of age. Predeceased by his parents, Nick and Mary and by his siblings, Agnes Byblow and Melvin Ohochinsky. Henry is survived by his son Trent Wilson (Cindy Ford), grandson Chris and granddaughter Celine; daughter Carla (Todd) Skikewich, granddaughters Bailee (Adrian) and Riana (Brock), great-grandchildren Kayden and Miya; his wife Ann; brothers Bill, Nestor and Alex, sister Edna Kolybaba and by numerous nieces, nephews and their families. The Funeral Liturgy of the Word was held on Saturday, September 8, 2018 from St. Gerard’s Roman Catholic Church in Yorkton with Fr. Louis Kim Nguyen officiating. Pianist, Diana Hornung, led members of the Parish Choir and the congregation in the hymns “Amazing Grace”, “Psalm 25”, “Something Which is Known”, “Song of the Angels” and “On Eagle’s Wings”. The lay-reader was Bailee Skikewich, the cross bearer was Riana Skikewich and the urn bearer was Trent Wilson. The interment took place in the Garden of Crucifixion at the Yorkton Memorial Gardens.

KULCHESKI - Dolly was born June 20, 1931 to Nick and Verna Palaniuk. In 1937 Dolly turned six and ventured off to Brookview School. She attended Brookview for six years. She had to walk a mile and a half from home to school daily. During winter months she resided with my Aunt and Uncle, Lena and Bill Smetenuik and then she was much closer to school. Dolly was afraid to go to school so hid behind a woodpile at her Aunt’s and Uncle’s home. She however endured school and used egg whites for glue and a piece of old shoe heel which worked well for an eraser. She married Peter Kulcheski on Nov 6, 1949. He was employed as a plumber and school bus driver. Dolly worked at Gilbert Plains hospital for 2 years. Family moved to Dauphin in 1968. Dolly worked extremely hard as a full time housewife along with part time positions that were at Dauphin Bakery as a short order cook, then worked Grange Cafe in the kitchen and then worked at the Dauphin Bus Depot as a cook and Peter worked full time with plumbing and heating. Dolly and Peter also took in boarders. Dolly looked after elderly people as well as native boys from Northern Manitoba that attended school in Dauphin for approximately 8 years. Dolly also cooked at Kid’s camp as a cook in Bield, MB. Dolly and Peter were blessed with 5 children. Shirl, David, Brenda, Curtis and LeeAnne and adopted a granddaughter Penny. Dolly had 7 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. Shirl was blessed with a daughter Penny and a son Jason. While David was married to Ann Fedkiw and they were blessed with a daughter Jennifer and a son Kelly. Brenda was married to Gary Bean and divorced. She then met and married Allan Grills who is from Australia. Brenda was blessed with two daughters Tara and Kathryn. While Curtis was married to Kathryn Spencer and they were blessed with 2 boys, Cody and Drew. Curtis, after being divorced, met and married Heidi Istchenko and adopted Eli. Penny married Joe Roulette and is currently separated. LeeAnne remained single. Dolly enjoyed her cooking, baking, crocheting, veggie gardening and spending time with children and animals. She enjoyed planting flowers at the care home. Dolly was a soft hearted individual that was always available to help and encourage. Dolly would make food for pot luck dinners and showers at Bethel Tabernacle which she attended and New Life Ministries in Dauphin. Dolly had some health issues. Stroke, diabetes, osteoarthritis and gout. She moved to the Dauphin Personal Care home about 11 years ago. She made many good friends there. The staff were quite fond of her. Always a “thank you sweetheart” would come out of her month. She was famous for giving bear hugs to family and staff at the care home. She was active in taking bus trips to Clear Lake. She took part in perogy making, bingo and gardening as well as her crocheting of afghans. She also enjoyed having her fingernails and toes painted when she received foot care. Unfortunately Dolly took a couple falls over the past month in the care home which slowed her down. No matter what, she still kept her strong faith in God. She would say Holy Jesus....so everything will be good. That kept her talking to the Lord and remaining positive. Over the last month she endured more health issues and the good Lord decided to take her home on Sept 5, 2018. I am sure she was welcomed with open arms. Predeceased family, both her parents Nick and Verna Palaniuk, two siblings Marjorie Ganczar and Clifford Palaniuk, a grandson Kelly Kulcheski and a special cousin Annie Blander. Funeral services were held on Monday, September 10, 2018 from the Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre, Yorkton, SK with Pastor Rick Flamont officiating. The eulogist was Wilford Palaniuk. Interment took place in the Green Leaf Cemetery, Hinchcliffe, SK with David Kulcheski, Curtis Kulcheski, Allan Grills, Drew Kulcheski, Cody Kulcheski and Jason Kulcheski serving as casket bearers. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.preecevillefuneralhome.com. Memorials in memory of Dolly Kulcheski may be made to the Green Leaf Cemetery Fund as gifts of remembrance. Arrangements were entrusted to Preeceville Funeral Home.

HICKIE - It was with great sadness that on the morning of August 30, 2018, our beloved mother, grandmother, sister and aunt, Rosalia Carolina Hickie, departed from this life in the hope of life eternal and to witness the fulfillment of her faith in Jesus Christ. She was lovingly welcomed into this world by her parents Philip and Eva (nee Hubenig) on July 11, 1929, in Grayson, SK and later baptized on July 22, 1929 at the St. Elizabeth Roman Catholic Parish in Killaly, SK. She was the ninth of eleven children born to this large German family, which farmed near Grayson. She completed her first years of formative education at Gelowitz School then later completed her high school education in Grayson and received her diploma in 1946. Rose furthered her education by completing a course in hair styling in Regina, SK, after which she began working in a beauty salon in the upper floors of the Eaton’s department store in Melville, SK. It was here where her salon was located next to the offices of Bernard McLeod, a Chartered Accountant, and a romance soon began. They married in 1949 and were blessed with two children: Faye Bernadine in 1950 and Scott Henderson in 1952. With much sorrow, Bernard passed away in 1952. With her young family, Rose continued to live in Melville and later began working at the Lovely Lady Beauty Salon. For a second time, Rose would find her companion just next door. Leo Westberg, who worked at the King George Hotel, would wait each morning to watch Rose pass as she walked to the salon. A romance soon began and they married in 1953. Together they were blessed with three children: Gail Marie in 1957, Mark Wayne in 1961 and Laura Lee in 1964. Rose and Leo, and now their five children, would live their lives together in Melville, Esterhazy and Yorkton as Leo managed various hotels and Rose cared for the family at home. In subsequent years, Rose would always want to be near her children, which resulted in her moving to various cities, including Edmonton. However, as she neared retirement in 1988, she settled in Yorkton. After living at Queen Elizabeth Court for several years, she later moved to the Yorkton & District Nursing Home in 2006. She genuinely enjoyed living at the nursing home, where she adored the nursing staff (commonly referring to them as ‘her girls’), the sense of community it provided and the opportunity to volunteer and assist the staff in any way she could. In every sense of the word, Rose was truly a ‘lady’. Although her life was a culmination of significant sacrifice, she emanated genuine elegance, impeccable manners and patience, a calm and gentle personality and a profound understanding of what should be life’s priorities – God, prayer, scripture and family. Rose would never leave the house looking anything but her very best and impeccably dressed. She was very artistic and could successfully paint and complete various crafts to perfection. She looked forward to every family visit and was most happy when spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren who visited her regularly, often bringing her treats or even supper. The smile on her face and the expression of pure happiness as her family walked through the door will never be forgotten. Lastly, Rose will be forever remembered for her deep faith which enabled her to persevere through the most difficult times in her life. The image of her bible, underlined and cherished, will never be forgotten. She endeavoured to live by these words each and every day. Rose leaves to mourn her passing and to cherish her memory, her sons, Scott McLeod and Mark Westberg; daughter Laura Westberg; nine grandchildren, Roberta Hamilton, Amanda (Jordan) Howe, Thomas Hamilton, Heather (Doug) Mogg, Ian McLeod, Cassidy (Shane) Wagner, Ryan (Delayne) Westberg, Kyle Westberg and Brett Strutynski; ten greatgrandchildren, Jayda and Sydney Morin, Madilyn, Hanna and Joshua Howe, Holly Hamilton, David Mogg, Sam and Ben Wagner and Jack Westberg; brother, Robert (Doreen) Hickie; along with many nephews, nieces and lifelong friends. Rose was predeceased by her parents, Philip and Eva Hickie; daughters, Gail Westberg-Jones (1992) and Faye Hamilton (2015); sisters, Elizabeth Baumgartner, Annie Morhart, Emily Thauberger, Eva Baumgartner, Wilma Lewis, Claire Jurgens and Cecilia Broda and brothers, Philip Hickie and Otto Hickie. Funeral Mass was celebrated on Monday, September 3, 2018 from St. Gerard’s Roman Catholic Church in Yorkton with Rev. Fr. Louis Kim Nguyen as the Celebrant. Roberta Hamilton served as the cross bearer. Robert Hickie and Brett Strutynski were the Lectors. Gift bearers were Robert and Doreen Hickie. Interment followed in the Garden of Memories in the Yorkton Memorial Gardens with Laura and Mark Westberg serving as the urn bearers. Tributes and words of remembrance were given by Cassidy Wagner. Condolences can be sent to the family at www.baileysfuneralhome.com Memorials in memory of Rose may be made to the Yorkton and District Nursing Home Activity Department as gifts of remembrance.

She enjoyed going to her vacation home with Ron in Arizona for the winter, coffee dates with her friends, attending weekly church mass and singing with choirs, attending local dances and spending time with her family and friends in the community where she lived. She was known for being a notorious clean freak. She enjoyed all the time spent together when her children/stepchildren and family visited and or the several phone calls to each of them she had each week. She was a lover of music and good times with family and friends. She especially loved being with her children, stepchildren and grandchildren and watching their football, hockey, swimming lessons, gymnastics, soccer games, dance recitals, figure skating, curling and school recitals. Prayers were held at the Kelliher School Complex on Friday, September 7, 2018 with Father Albert Schmitz presiding and Len Varga singing. The Mass of Christian Burial was held on Saturday, September 8, 2018 with Father JB Okai at St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church in Balgonie, SK. Tributes and Words of Remembrance were offered by Joan (Don) Nuttall, Meranda Pangracs and Janelle Faure. The urn bearers were all of Lucille’s grandchildren and the interment took place in St. Joseph’s Colony Cemetery, Balgonie, SK. Messages of condolence may be made at baileysfuneralhome.com. Memorial donations in Lucille’s memory may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation as gifts of remembrance. Arrangements entrusted to:
BIALOBZYSKI - Joyce Marlene Bialobzyski (nee Hoffman) passed away quietly in the evening of August 29, 2018 at the age of 80. Loved ones that passed before her include; husband Eugene 2009, father Oscar 2001, mother Connie 2012, brothers Donny 1969 and Earl 2018. Leaving to mourn Joyce’s loss are; her sons’ Murray (Jan) and Mark (Denise), her daughter Barbara (James), her grandchildren Chad Bialobzyski (Kristin), Kendra Wolfe (Kent) and Kim Chambers (Evan), her greatgrandchildren; Keira and Benson Bialobzyski and Beau Chambers, her brother Jack (Violet) Hoffman. Joyce was born on March 30, 1938. She was the oldest of four children raised on a farm near Buchanan. Joyce told stories of growing up on a farm and the generational struggles of doing farm chores with no running water and cold winters. Her expectation was to help her three brothers with farm work. A favourite memory she shared was going to school riding her horse that she passionately adored. She enjoyed visiting with her Grandma Violet Brown and her Uncle Charlie Brown at their farm. In 1960 Joyce married school teacher Eugene Bialobzyski and they briefly settled in Buchanan. Joyce and Eugene started a family and in 1961 moved to Yorkton where they raised their family for many years. Joyce was a busy wife, mother and Nurse Aid at the Yorkton Union Hospital. Some of the many family memories include; giving her children money to buy her cigarettes at the nearby gas station, having the Avon Lady visit with smelly perfume and the daily morning ritual of eating porridge while watching Mr. Dress Up on the black and white TV. Joyce enjoyed visits with old friends, neighbours and Eugene’s coworkers. There weren’t many dull moments when staff from St. Joesph’s and St. Alphonsis school visited to share a laugh and play Rummoli. Joyce loved to listen to music from Nana Mouskouri and Zamfir while dancing with Eugene. She enjoyed many hobbies; painting, needle point and coin collecting. In 1989, after raising her family and retirement from the Yorkton hospital, Joyce started a new chapter in life. Joyce headed west and eventually settled in Vernon, BC for many years where she met new friends and enjoyed the warmer winters. Visits with family were not frequent but she always stayed in touch to share “don’t worry about me I hope all is fine with all of you”. Joyce returned to Yorkton in 2010 to be closer to family. She enjoyed a few years on her own but as her health failed she moved to the Bentley Retirement Residence and then the Yorkton and District Nursing Home. The family would like to thank the staff at the Yorkton and District Nursing Home, all health care professionals at the Sunrise Health Region and Bailey’s Funeral Home for their compassion and professionalism. A Private Family Graveside Service was held on Tuesday, September 4 in the Garden of St. Mark, Yorkton Memorial Gardens with Crystal Bailey, Certified Celebrant officiating. Murray, Mark, Barb Bialobzyski, Chad Bialobzyski, Kendra and Kent Wolfe served as casket bearers and the honourary bearers were Kim and Evan Chambers and Kristin Bialobzyski. Special music included ‘Amazing Grace’ by Nana Mouskouri, ‘Memories’ by Elvis and ‘The Last Farewell’ by Roger Whittaker. Condolences can be sent to the family at baileysfuneralhome.com. Memorials in memory of Joyce may be made to the Yorkton SPCA as gifts of remembrance. Arrangements were entrusted to:

Time to show up for the Terriers A number of years ago, the Yorkton Terriers went to a ‘game specific’ season ticket system and I was astounded at the backlash in the community from it. Fans had been taking advantage of this forever and it was well past time to stop it. After all, try going to a Saskatchewan Roughriders/Regina Pats/ Winnipeg Jets/Saskatoon Blades/etc game using a non-game specific ticket. You can’t do it. Nevertheless, the fans won out and the Terriers went back to selling 28 tickets and allowing fans to use all 28 for one game if that’s what the holder so desires. That wouldn’t be a bad thing. What was a bad thing was that tickets were going unused and then handed out like candy, near the end of the year, by the buyer to others so they could go to the game for ‘free’. So, for the final 2-3 home games of the year, the numbers in attendance look pretty good but the actual gate money for the team is, incredibly, low because
nobody really paid anything to get in. This is crippling for a Junior ‘A’ hockey team that struggles to break even at the best of times.

Fast forward to September 2018 and the Terriers are going to try this again. Your season tickets will be game specific. If you don’t go to the game, you are out a ticket. It’s that simple. But, before you get your underwear in knots, consider a couple of other things: the Terriers have introduced flex packs that allow the purchaser to buy a group of tickets that can be used for any game you want. There will also be a couple of ‘raincheck’ nights where you can use a ticket for a game you missed as an extra ticket for a particular game. Some of these details were brought to fans’ attention at the AGM and some were not. There is a new ticket system in place and it’s a learning process for the hockey club as much as it is for the fan; but understand this - fans have

Stackhouse Soapbox been on a gravy train for a long time when it comes to using tickets for the Terriers and it’s over. I know change is a bad word in this city, but it’s happening anyway because it’s a necessity for the Terriers to secure some financial stability. In fact, if I was at the controls I’d charge fans even more to attend games against Melville because that’s what everyone wants to see. I’d charge a bit less to see Weyburn and Estevan; but still more than if you were going to see games against the rest of the league as divisional games are, often, more important and of greater interest. I just bought tickets to watch
the Jets play the Leafs and it was more money to see Toronto than it is to see Florida. As an observer of this team since 2001, I have to say the gains made since March have been great. Ryan Kormos has been a success in the marketing chair and Mat Hehr has added to the club in the form of WHL vets Branden Klatt and Jared Legien. He’s also delivered on landing local talent, including potential rookie of the year Aiden Bulych, who wasn’t an easy signing. Keenan Sperling, Kishaun Gervais, Carter Lake, and Jordan Repsch are all also on board. This team is going to
be better and more fun to watch than in recent years. Take it to the bank. The onus is now on the fans to show up and the players to deliver what I feel they are capable of doing. I was hoping to make it through the entire article without mentioning our Prime Minister, but I can’t do it since every other media outlet appears to be giving him a pass on his use of the word ‘entropy’. He’s so smug and he was at it again this week during an interview where he bragged about the advantages of cultural diversity and he referred to it as a form of ‘entropy’. Entropy means ‘lack of order or gradual decline into disorder’. Basically, he — ignorantly — confirms what the opponents of diversity are saying. Yet, he delivered it with the same kind of confidence a 6-year-old would have when words are spoken clearly, but incorrectly. Example - my daughter Macey used to say ‘babing suit’ instead of ‘bath-
ing suit’ and I never ever corrected her because it was cute. Trudeau isn’t cute. He’s stupid. There’s no other way to sugar coat that. Part of me wants to believe the media isn’t holding him to account on it because they’ve just come to accept this is who he is. He’s a disaster. Yet, those in BC and those east of Manitoba will elect Liberals to the House of Commons in spades. I don’t get it. I’m not going to say much about this NIKE/ Colin Kaepernick endorsement deal other than to say if we all made our purchases based on the morals and political views of those who are tied to such products, none of us would buy anything. I’m sure I can find someone you will disagree with high up the ladder in just about any company. Nice person tions this week: Kettleson, Kelsey Brendan Wagner, Olafson, and Gawryliuk.

Corvil gets mixed reactions at game table
Not everyone at a gaming table will feel the same about every game that is pulled off the shelves. Even at our small table the four of us have some rather lengthy discussions over the merits of certain games. Covil: The Dark Overlords by designer Luís Brüeh was certainly one of those. Covil is a game that is just a bit hard to arrive at a final viewpoint. To begin with the art here, also by Brüeh, will either entice your interest, or be a bit of a deterrent. When the game was originally launched on Kickstarter it was stated; “The game is a tribute to awesome ‘70’s, ‘80’s & ‘90’s cartoons, filled with references to our favorite and unforgettable characters.” In the base game and add-ons there are, for
example, homages to Leela from Futurama, The Brain from Pinky and the Brain, and ALF among others. The cartoon-inspired art is sort of cute, but didn’t exactly win me over, although others at the table were satisfied. The Kickstarter campaign also noted; “In Covil: The Dark Overlords you will struggle for the supremacy of the regions surrounding an isolated town. Each player controls a Dark Overlord with unique powers and countless minions to “defend the world from enemy hordes” and bring “peace and security to the territories” — at a cost, of course!” The game, published by Canadian publisher Vesuvius Media, comes across as a bit grander than it actually is. This is a fairly light worker placement/area
THE MEEPLE GUILD (Yorkton) meeple.guild@gmail.com control game, which players put over four segmented rounds. In the opening couple of rounds you have fewer minions to send out across the realms, and that limits what you can actually do. It is generally a build-up of forces that players generally must follow for fear of being under-manned in later rounds. In the last couple of rounds you have more options, battling other players, hording gold as such fun things, although

there are limitations. The game allows a rather small treasury so players are always making rather frugal decisions. The interesting aspect of this game is that various character cards have abilities which create synergies with certain attack styles – melee or ranged – with different terrains on the board. This means there is a learning curve. Some time spent with the cards outside of a game situation getting a grasp on what cards to go after to
be able to chain effects will add to the game experience. A pair of small expansions; The Outposts and Chaotic Evil, expand on things, and while some games only gain variety with added cards and options, with Covil it adds some interest by expanding the decisions. The chance to add fortresses, and dragons to the troops is great, and sinister plots give each player hidden goals to go
after, another bonus in play. I rather liked the game at the basic level, more so than my gaming comrades, but with game time, and the expansions this is likely to satisfy most games in for some quick fun. Thanks to fellow gamers Jeff Chasse, Trevor Lyons and Adam Daniels for their help in running through this game for review.
