Semi destroyed in train collision

By Sean Mott Staff Writer A semi truck was torn in half after colliding with a train in Yorkton Thursday night.

On the evening of June 28, a semi truck carrying canola was heading into Yorkton using Highway #9. As

it crossed the tracks near King Street, it crashed into an oncoming Canadian Pacific train.

The front end of the semi spun out on one side of the tracks while the back end rolled down a small hill on the other end.

The train stopped without derailing or losing any of its contents.

There were no deaths or serious injuries involved with the accident.

Emergency crews arrived on the scene and established detour routes.

Traffic was interrupted for three to five hours.

CP Rail is aware of the accident.

Crews surveyed the damage wrought from the crash on June 28. No one was hurt in the accident.

City unveils new landfill cell

By Sean Mott Staff Writer There is a gigantic pit outside of Yorkton. It’s long and deep enough to hold several trains. It’s lined with a black material that shines in the sun.

Grab your garbage bags and compost bins; there’s a new landfill site in town.

Construction of a new cell at the Yorkton landfill is nearly complete. The massive trash collection site (roughly the size of six CFL football fields) will be open for business in the fall of this year.

After the project was approved in 2015, construction began in 2016. Wet conditions slowed the progress of the site, but workers managed to complete the majority of the cell in 2017.

Once wholly finished, the cell will have a depth of five to nine meters with a total size of 250,000 cubic meters.

“Potentially we’ll fill it in five to seven years, depending

our town needed more space, despite a landfill expansion in the late 1990s.

Government regulations also encouraged Yorkton to construct a new cell. Since Saskatchewan has the highest amount of landfills per-capita in Canada, the provincial government is asking municipalities to improve the environmental impact of their landfills.

“With the Ministry of Environment...enforcing the regulations...municipalities across the province have to meet those requirements,” Hershmiller said.

With those regulations in mind, Yorkton ordered the new cell be built with a liner. This protective layer stops the toxins in garbage from leaking into the soil and harming the land.

A leachate pond was built next to the cell. A tube connects the two sites, allowing

SRC expands program for Indigenous students Recently, the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) is formalizing the expansion of a mentorship program for Indigenous post-secondary students, while at the same time celebrating the success the program has seen in its first four years.

Through SRC’s Aboriginal Mentorship Program (AMP), First Nations, Inuit and Métis post-secondary students in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) can connect with an SRC mentor in the same or similar disciplines and gain work experience through a hands-on summer job at SRC. “The Government of Saskatchewan is dedicated to supporting training initiatives, like this one, that foster learning and development,” Minister Responsible for SRC Jeremy Harrison said. “This program assists Indigenous students training for rewarding careers in the science, technology, engineering and math fields.”

Since its inception in 2015,

fifteen students have been welcomed into the program – two of which accepted permanent, full-time employment with SRC upon graduation and are still with the organization today.

“SRC is proud to continue fostering Indigenous participation in the STEM disciplines through our Aboriginal Mentorship Program,” SRC Mining & Minerals VicePresident Craig Murray said.

“Because of both our mentors and students’ efforts, along with the support of our partners, this program has achieved significant success in just three short years. To be able to expand on that will help to ensure this program’s continued future success.”

Through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between SRC and the University of Regina, both organizations will work collaboratively in the promotion of this program to students in the Regina-area.

Additionally, a second MOU between SRC and Gabriel

Dumont Institute Training & Employment will help guarantee funding for Métis students in the program for the next three years.

“We are very pleased to be partnering with the Saskatchewan Research Council in support of Indigenous students engaged in science, technology, engineering and math programs,” Provost and Vice-President (Academic) Dr. Thomas Chase said. “The focus of the MOU on connecting Indigenous students with employment, training and mentorship opportunities with SRC is aligned with our 2015-20 Strategic Plan priorities of student success and Indigenization.”

“This partnership with SRC’s Aboriginal Mentorship Program has been successful in supporting Métis students in STEM disciplines to learn and grow both academically and personally,” Gabriel Dumont Institute Executive Director Geordy McCaffrey said. “To date, six Métis stu-

dents have participated in the program. Five have graduated with engineering degrees and found employment. The sixth, an Industrial Systems Engineering student, has just started the program.”

AMP is proudly supported

by SRC’s Technology-in-Action Fund – a perpetual memorial fund created by the late Ian and Pearl Wahn to support Saskatchewan’s entrepreneurial spirit. It also receives financial support from the Government of Canada through the Gabriel Dumont Institute Training & Employment, Saskatoon Tribal Council and Regina Treaty/Status Indian Services.

SRC is one of Canada’s leading providers of applied research, development and demonstration (RD&D), and technology commercialization.

With more than 350 employees, $70 million in annual revenue and 71 years of RD&D experience, SRC provides services and products to its 1,500 clients in 20 countries around the

world. For more information, view SRC’s website at http:// www.src.sk.ca.

The University of Regina— with campuses located on Treaty 4 and Treaty 6 territories, the ancestral lands of the Cree, Saulteaux, Dakota, and Lakota nations and the homeland of the Métis—is a comprehensive, mid-sized university that traces its roots back to the creation of Regina College in 1911. Today, more than 15,000 students study within the University’s 10 faculties, 25 academic departments/schools, 18 research centres and institutes, and three federated colleges (Campion College, First Nations University of Canada, and Luther College).

The University of Regina has an established reputation for excellence and innovative programs that lead to undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degrees. In 2017, the University of Regina was ranked in the Top 200 Best Young Universities in the world by Times Higher Education.

Complain in vain As I walked across the Yorkton landfill, I felt as though I’d been transported onto the surface of Mars.

Last week, myself and other media and government representatives were invited to the Yorkton landfill to see the nearly-completed new cell (see the full coverage elsewhere in the paper or online). After a quick speech, the organizers asked if we’d like to trek down to the base of the cell. I, armed with my camera and a thirst for unique photos, happily agreed.

We traveled around the lip of the cell, gazing down at the gaping abyss.

The cell (as large as six football fields) was coated in a black material meant to stop toxic water

from seeping into the ground. It’s a fabulous invention, perfect for preserving our agricultural way of life. It is also, as I found out, an excellent method for turning the landfill cell into gigantic oven.

It was a warm day, but the cell felt like the top of a frying pan. Heat seemed to pour out of every square inch of the landfill, roasting us alive. The cell stretched out before us, an endless expanse of boiling death. Feeling the sun bear down on me, I was reminded of Clint Eastwood’s character marching through the desert in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

We walked through the cell, snapping photos and grabbing footage.

The organizers explained

Settling in... how the cell will function and how it will receive garbage. As I listened to them, surveyed the cell, and endured the heat, one thought ran through my head: “$5 million can sure buy you a lot of leg room.”

Yes, the new landfill cell project has a budget of $5 million. Over the next 50 years, Yorkton plans to use this money to construct three addition-

our country. Town council meetings are sparsely populated.

Recently, Yorkton councillors bemoaned how the new seacans bylaw received little community feedback. People have their lives to lead; most would prefer to ignore politics.

But it shouldn’t be that way. We don’t have to respond to every government decision with a resigned shrug. Tune in.

Read the news. Get informed. When a bylaw is proposed and you see its flaws, you should be on the phone with your councillors. Be proactive, not reactive.

Otherwise you’ll end up like me: In the bottom of a landfill cell, sweating bullets and wondering how I got here.

al cells. It’s a hefty price tag.

I mentioned this chunky budget to a friend. Their response (I’m paraphrasing) was: “This is the first I’m hearing about it.”

It’s a common cry when it comes to government spending. People are usually taken aback when they find the actual costs of projects. They say they’re surprised or

caught off guard. They wish they could’ve spoken up before the budget was set.

Now, I’m no scold (mostly). I don’t much care what people do with their time and energy.

However you spend your days on this spinning rock we call a planet is your business (as long as you’re not hurting anyone).

But if I may offer one piece of advice, it’s this: Show up. Add your voice to the fray. If you think a proposed budget is poorly-constructed, say so.

Perspective Things you should know about equalization

MURRAY MANDRYK

Mailroom Manager Jim Kinaschuk Advertising Manager: William O’Boyle

Murray Mandryk is a political columnist with the Leader Post

Politics Premier Scott Moe’s position on equalization has tongues wagging.

This is likely a good thing, because equalization tends to be one of those important, but dense and boring issues we choose to ignore because of its complexity.

However, the bad thing about wagging tongues is that they produce a lot of distracting noise that sometimes doesn’t add all that much.

So let us look today at some of the things we are hearing about equalization — the things we should be paying more attention to and maybe a few things we should ignore.

No. 1 It’s unfair that Quebec gets the lion’s share just because of politics.

Quebec does get the lion’s share — about $110 billion of the $18 billion in the pool.

And there is a legitimate reason that this is unfair, but maybe not entirely for the reasons you might think.

Why Quebec does better than most province has to do with the size of the province and the nature of its economy and the nature of the revenue formula that excludes its ample revenue from hydro-electric energy that’s excluded from the equalization formula.

On a per capita basis, Manitoba does better by the equalization formula than Quebec because of the amount of hydro-electrical wealth relative to the size of the province.

However, it’s actually the traditionally more economically deprived Atlantic provinces that benefit most from the equalization formula.

No. 2: Justin Trudeau is refusing to change the formula because it benefits Quebec, thus helping the federal Liberals, politically.

This is true, but like most matters related to equalization, it is far more complex than that.

It is Trudeau snuck another five years of the current equalization formula in omnibus budget bill C-74.

This is the same tactic that Liberals rightly complained about when it was used by the Stephen Harper Conservatives.

However, let us recall the former Conservative government of Stephen Harper and now Alberta United Conservative Party leader Jason Kenney were no more eager to change the formula for the exact same reasons that it might offend their Quebec vote.

In fact, Harper went so far in his 2006 election campaign to promise to remove all nonrenewal resources from the formula — a policy that would have brought a minimum extra $800 million a year to Saskatchewan. (It would have also rendered the entire formula useless, likely making Alberta and Saskatchewan permanent “have-not” provinces.)

Let us also be clear that was than the then-Saskatchewan NDP government and Saskatchewan Party Opposition under Brad Wall fully endorsed Harper’s 2006 campaign promise to remove non-renewables.

However, when the Sask. Party government got into power in 2007, it clearly changed its support for this policy when Harper made it clear his government had no interest in keeping the promise.

No. 3 Saskatchewan hasn’t drawn from the formula in 11 years and now subsidizes Quebec’s cheap university tuition because Quebec draws equalization every year.

It is true Saskatchewan hasn’t received equalization money in a decade and Quebec draws from it annually. One should also note Saskatchewan was rather well off because of oil and potash revenue for much of this period.

As per Saskatchewan taxpayers subsidizing Quebec schools, equalization doesn’t work that way.

It’s a federal program, meaning there is no designated provincial money that goes into it.

Furthermore, a 10-per-cent PST in Quebec may one big reason why tuition is lower in that province (although, again, the hydro revenue question simply has to be addressed).

No. 4. Premier’s Scott Moe proposal would solve equalization inequities.

Some argue it would help, but it would also mean Quebec, Ontario and B.C. (all rich provinces) would get proportionally more because of their large populations.

Meanwhile, small Maritime provinces would be hurt. So would Saskatchewan if it truly does become a “have-not” province again.

◆Editorial◆

The trouble of maintaining a small town feel O

ne of the advantages of small town Saskatchewan is that most places have their community events. They are the big gatherings that happen annually that get everyone in the community involved, whether they’re part of the group putting it on or someone attending.

Go in any direction in Saskatchewan through the summer months and you’re bound to stumble upon something unique that a community is doing, events like Englefeld’s Hogfest, which happened this past weekend, or The Great Saskatchewan Bacon Festival in Kipling.

The Yorkton Exhibition Summer Fair is interesting because it straddles the line between small town get together and a fair in a larger center.

It’s big, it can get in relatively big acts and attractions – The Dead South is getting international attention – but it still does have a small town feel, because it’s pulling from every edge of the community.

As much as people like to talk about Yorkton being small it’s not a community that tends to come together for one event. Yorkton has many events that are tailored to specific groups of people. Most events in the city are focused on doing one thing very well, and that makes for excellent events that are worth attending.

The fair has a different focus, making it feel like the entire city is part of

the same event. There are deliberate choices that do that. Putting on a parade on Saturday makes the fair geographically quite large, because it’s stretching the entire city. The deadline for Broadway resurfacing being based around the parade schedule is a good example of how important that parade is to the city overall.

Another choice is making the fair itself a bit of a grab-bag. There aren’t many events where you can do goat yoga, watch a horse race and then see local musicians. Small town events can’t really manage this – note how the two mentioned earlier are all about meat – but small towns don’t have to, because there are only so many people to entertain. Yorkton is large enough that there are a diverse range of interests, so the fair has to have something for everyone in order to make it feel as though the entire city is celebrating.

That they’re still able to do that while the city grows is an accomplishment. No other event in Yorkton is quite like the fair, and at this point no event even can be. Its roots are in the small town get-togethers, from back when Yorkton was that small town.

That has kept it unique, and makes it a rare thing, a big event that still feels a bit like a small town celebration because you can’t be in the city without feeling the fair happening.

Saskatchewan announces first subsurface mineral rights public offering schedule The Government of Saskatchewan has released the schedule for Subsurface Mineral Rights Public Offerings, making the transition to a competitive auction process for rights to potash and brine mineral exploration and development.

The province’s first Subsurface Mineral Rights Public Offering will be held Dec. 18, 2018. The public offering process under The Subsurface Mineral Tenure Regulations is similar to that for oil and gas tenure. Subsurface mineral dispositions allow the holder to explore for all natural mineral salts and their compounds occurring more than 60 metres below the land surface.

“The implementation of the Subsurface Mineral Rights Public Offering process is a milestone in the history of Saskatchewan’s potash and brine minerals industry,” Energy and Resources Minister Bronwyn Eyre said. “The competitive bid process was prompted by the need to modernize the province’s procedure for disposing of subsurface mineral rights and will enhance Saskatchewan’s already strong competitive position compared to other mining jurisdictions.”

Subsurface Mineral Rights Public Offerings will subsequently be held every April, August, and December. The 2019 schedule will be released in August 2018.

Effective immediately, the ministry is accepting nominations for upcoming subsurface mineral rights public offerings, and additional information is posted on the

Ministry website. The current schedule can be viewed at www.saskatchewan.ca/business/ agriculture-naturalresources-and-industry/ oil-and-gas/crown-landsales-dispositions-andtenure/public-offerings.

There has been recent interest in subsurface minerals such as lithium, used in electric car batteries, which can be extracted from brine and formation waters.

Natural mineral salts present in Saskatchewan include boron, calcium, lithium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, bromine, chlorine, fluorine, iodine, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur.

Saskatchewan is the world’s leading potash mining jurisdiction and is considered to be one of the most favourable jurisdictions in the world for investment in mineral exploration.

The Dulmage Farmstead

History Corner

There is a new trend in tourism across several countries that is known as “ecotourism”— naturebased tourism. A site is chosen for the events that took place years ago, and may well not comprise any buildings whatsoever. This is the case with The Dulmage Farmstead.

This farmstead, once upon a time, consisted of two dwellings and an array of farm buildings and a manufacturing operation.

While no buildings remain of this farm, there are several remnants of the foundations of its buildings.

A good number of volunteers have been involved in the improvement and development of this site over the years, and in the research and work of the production and erection of the interpretive signage. This site is one of Yorkton’s very special tourist attractions: a farmstead within town or city boundaries, not taken over by commercial or housing developments. It is a valuable experience for generations to come, where they can learn through the signage and walking around the acreage, the history of pre-settlement, the colonization experience and the unique farming and manufacturing experience, all within a natural ecological setting. It is a historic site — the story of the last parcel of land owned by the founders of Yorkton, the York Farmers’ Colonization Company. Not only

was the company responsible for the settlement of this area, it also continued to be involved in sale of lands, loans and other business transactions at intervals over the span of 65 years, until its dissolution on Dec. 17, 1947. Visit this site throughout the spring, summer and fall. The Dulmage Farmstead has been designated as a Municipal Heritage Property on March 8, 2004. The history was researched by Yorkton volunteer of the project, Rob Kirkness, engineer with Sask. Water Contact Terri Lefebvre Prince, Heritage Researcher, City of Yorkton Archives, Box 400, 37 Third Avenue North Yorkton, Sask. S3N 2W3 306-786-1722 heritage@yorkton.ca

New fees for Provincial Court services The Ministry of Justice has completed an extensive review of fees for services within Provincial Court.

User fees are charged for a number of different services, such as photocopying, processing applications for record suspensions or issuing a summons for Small Claims Court.

This review looked into each task and the actual cost of providing the service. It also looked at fees charged in other provinces and how Saskatchewan’s

current fees compare.

Although some fees have been revised over the years, the Provincial Court Fees Regulations have not been changed since 1988. The current fees have not kept up with the actual costs of operating the courts.

“The introduction of new fees and changes to existing fees will better reflect the costs of the services being provided,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Don Morgan said. “Consideration was also

given to maintain a fee structure that won’t restrict access to the courts and low income individuals will be able to obtain fee waiver certificates.”

Payments for court fees can be made in person with cash, debit, cheque, money order or credit card.

Credit card information will be accepted over the phone.

Information on accessing court services can be found at www.sasklawcourts.com.

Public Notice Proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendment to Regulate Cannabis Retailers Details: Yorkton City Council will consider a text amendment to Zoning Bylaw No. 14/2003, which proposes to regulate cannabis retailers. Yorkton has been approved by the Province for two cannabis retail licenses and the City must now consider zoning amendments to allow the awarded companies to proceed with the Provincial permit process. As part of allowing cannabis retailers, the City will look to limit the zones in which they can operate, and also create separation distances between cannabis retailers and child-focused uses such as schools and approved daycares. Regardless of the City’s bylaws, cannabis retailers will not be allowed to operate until Federal cannabis legalization is approved, and until Provincial permits are issued.

The amendment will be publicly advertised before Council makes their final decision.

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 May 1st to September 30th.

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. 18/2016 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.

New Community Safety Officers for Yorkton Beginning in Summer 2018, the City of Yorkton will employ Community Safety Officers. Community Safety Officers have the ability to enforce the Traffic Safety Act, All-Terrain Vehicle Act and Snowmobile Act and other provincial acts as well as City of Yorkton Bylaws. The City received concerns from residents about heavy truck traffic throughout the City and the use of engine retarder breaks around City perimeters. As well, the City heard concerns from the local school divisions and the Yorkton Active Transportation Collaborative about drivers speeding in school zones. With Community Safety Officers, the City will be able to enforce where heavy trucks travel which will help maintain the City’s infrastructure. Furthermore, the new officers will be able to issue tickets for speeding, failing to wear a seatbelt and other traffic offences. The Community Safety Officers will continue to enforce City of Yorkton Bylaws, including enforcing the Animal Control Bylaw and Property Standards Bylaw. Please watch for notifications in the coming months with an official start date for the Community Safety Officers in Yorkton!

Tenants and landlords learn their rights

By Sean Mott Staff Writer Few relationships can be as fraught as the one between a tenant and their landlord. After all the safety inspections, paperwork, and prepaid cheques, there is the day-to-day minutiae of communicating with another person. Tenants can be demanding while landlords can be overbearing, which occasionally creates tension.

Renting an apartment or house can be a tricky situation. Many people don’t know where a tenant’s responsibilities end and a landlord’s duties begin.

A recent seminar tried to clear the air on the dos, don’ts, and maybes of renting houses in Saskatchewan. While it was a bit dry, it conveyed some useful information for its small crowd.

The Housing Support Program (a new organization that started last April) hosted a tenancy information session at the SIGN building on Broadway Street on Jun. 27. Landlords and tenants gathered in the basement room to learn about their rights and responsibilities. There was an afternoon and evening session.

“There isn’t a lot of awareness [about these rights] in Yorkton, I have found,” said Melinda Davis, a housing locator for the Housing Support Program.

Robyn Harden was the main speaker at the event. She’s a representative with the Office of Residential Tenancies.

“When there’s a breakdown between a landlord and a tenant, [that’s where we step in.]”

— Melinda Davis, a housing locator for the Housing Support Program putes.

“When there’s a breakdown between a landlord and a tenant, [that’s where we step in,]” she said.

Harden discussed the validity of written and spoken agreements. She laid out landlords’ responsibilities to their tenants. When the topic of rental disputes came up, Harden said saving records of discussions is key to winning the debate.

“Videos and photos are so essential,” she said.

Fire chief Trevor Morrissey spoke with the audience about safety codes. He emphasized how landlords carry a special duty when it comes to fire safety and heating.

“A landlord has an obligation to provide heat,” he said.

Karen Renton with Knight Archer Insurance spoke about the importance of the sometimesforgotten tenant insurance.

“It insures your contents,” she said.

Anthony Allary represented the Yorkton Transitional Home for Youth during his brief speech. He encouraged people to donate their used furniture when they leave their dwellings.

“We accept all kinds of furniture,” he said.

Davis was pleased with the speakers’ work at the information sessions. She hopes similar events can broaden the public’s understanding of rental rights.

“It’s important that everybody’s on the same page to know what the rights and responsibilities are,” she said.

Broadway Street & Highway 9 Intersection Reconstruction The new concrete intersection reopened Friday, 10 days earlier than anticipated, and in time for the Long Weekend traffic! High traffic intersections and roadways, particularly those with constant heavy truck traffic, need to be of concrete construction as this lasts much longer than asphalt. Heavy trucks create a “churning” effect on the roadway during starting and stopping and concrete is much more durable than asphalt in those situations. Kudos to City Engineering and Public Works staff and to Acadia Construction for getting the job done earlier than anticipated!

Crystal Dyste prepares her third book

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Crystal Dyste is continuing to grow her Have You Met My Dragon? series. The third book in the series, focusing on self-harm, is set to launch on Jul. 15.

The local author has already released two books, the first about anxiety and the second about depression. This is the mid-point in a planned series of five, which will see further entries on eating disorders and anger.

Writing the third book was the most difficult so far, Dyste said, because she had less experience to draw from - while she has some experience with self-harm, she had to do a lot more research.

“I think I managed to get some good resources

and format them in a way that will be helpful to youth.”

Self-harm is often kept hidden and she wants to get people to talk about it because it can get serious if it’s not treated.

“Self-harm is something that can vary in severity and symptoms and long-term effects like scars.”

Dyste picked her topics based on things that affect middle schoolers, because she wanted to reach that group before they reached high school and life got even more difficult to deal with.

“The resources for kids, there is some stuff for 5-8 year olds, there is some stuff for adults, but that middle group you either get stuff that’s really dumbed down because it’s not meant for their age group, or you get

things that are really technical where they just go ‘huh?’”

Many people don’t want to talk about mental health, and that’s part of the reason why Dyste has written her book series.

She wants people talking

openly about their mental health, and hopes that her books can spark people having more conversations.

“Sitting in our rooms, wrestling with it ourselves isn’t going to do it, we need to talk about it.

We need to be able to talk about it with our peers, with adults, with counselors and with our families.

That is part of what I hope comes out of these books, maybe a mom or dad picks it up, throws it under a bedroom door...

maybe somebody gets curious and gets some information that they need.”

Dyste’s books will be available online as well as in Coles in the Parkland Mall.

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

Fair time has a changed focus It is fair time in Yorkton, and that is an annual event that always brings back a flood of memories from my youth.

In my youth, a time now more than three decades in the past, I spent large chunks of my summer at fairs.

Dad showed livestock back then, and I was naturally thrust into the show ring. I won my first trophy at age five, the Inkster Cup as I recall, and if I dug around in enough boxes I might still have the little keeper trophy.

From that time until I was beyond my teen years I was showing stock. Through the years the list of animals

became rather diverse when I look back, ranging from pigs and beef cattle to sheep, dairy goats, helping a couple of times with a draft horse halter class for someone needing a hand, and even one year catching some of the laying hens to show at Shand Fair. Add in a few grain sheaves a couple of years, and I covered a lot of the bases in terms of showing.

Back when I was young though summer fairs were somewhat different than they are today.

An event such as the one in Yorkton this week, and at others held across the prairies these days, are largely an

Agriculture THIS WEEK

Calvin Daniels entertainment package now. They are all about midways, and stage shows, and combine crunches and chuckwagon races. People go to be entertained, and there is nothing wrong with that. Fairs are supposed to be fun.

In fact, they have always been about entertaining, whether it was a hot band like

Trooper, when they were still topping the charts, at a major city fair, or farmer fastball at a one day fair like Connaught where I was a director by the age of 16.

But, fairs were also solidly about agriculture a quarter of a century ago.

Farmers brought out their stock and paraded them around a show

ring hoping to get the judge’s nod for the red ribbon.

There weren’t big crowds watching, but people did wander through the barns to look at the stock. It was a connection between farmers and urban residents, many who I suspect back then were still more closely tied to our shared agrarian past.

There was a value in that connection I think was important.

Certainly today farmers are encouraged to make connections with consumers in order to tell their story of producing food in a safe, sustainable way. Fairs used to be a forum that allowed that dialogue to take

place as people casually walked through the barns as part of going to the summer fair.

Whether it was Nipawin Fair, Saltcoats, Abernathy, Kelliher, Kelvington, Prince Albert of dozens of others, there was a chance for producers to show off their livestock and talk farming with others. That element of the summer fair is all but gone. Barns in Yorkton, as an example, see very limited use at the summer fair now, which for me is a sad thing.

But at least my childhood memories remain.

Autonomous Farming Technology supported The Government of Saskatchewan has committed $230,000 to DOT Technology Corporation, to support its project to develop and pilot its autonomous power platform, DOT, for use in the agriculture sector.

DOT is an autonomous tractor designed to complete various farm tasks such as seeding and spraying, with minimal human supervision. The technology will enhance productivity in the agricultural sector and reduce producers’ costs.

Government funds will be provided over two years, through Innovation Saskatchewan’s Saskatchewan Advantage Innovation Fund, and will be used to develop the platform’s autonomous functions, and to allow for user interaction through a tablet device.

“DOT is a clear example of innovative technology with the potential to transform

the business of agriculture in Saskatchewan,” Minister Responsible for Innovation Saskatchewan Tina Beaudry-Mellor said. “We are pleased to support this innovation to stimulate research and development that will provide Saskatchewan and the world with cutting edge, home-grown

technology.”

DOT Technology Corporation was founded by Norbert Beaujot, Saskatchewan-based farmer, engineer and entrepreneur. Beaujot is also the founder and president of sister company, SeedMaster Manufacturing, and has invested $1.6 million

toward the production of the first DOT prototype.

“It is great to have organizations like Innovation Saskatchewan that keep innovation rooted in the province,” Beaujot said. “The government’s continued support for entrepreneurs and innovation is critical in helping companies

like DOT Technology succeed locally.”

In collaboration with researchers from the University of Regina, DOT Technology Corporation will develop various technologies to enable the platform to function autonomously.

Once fully developed, DOT will be able to com-

plete farming tasks like seeding, spraying and harvesting, with minimal human supervision.

The technology will also be open to implements developed by third-party manufacturers, a number of whom have already expressed intentions to build DOT-ready equipment.

Crops generally in good condition Across the province, the majority of crops are in good condition and at their normal stages of development for this time of year, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Weekly Crop Report.

Seventy-six per cent of the oilseeds and fall and spring cereals are at their normal stages of development, while 80 per cent of the pulses are at the normal stages of development for this time of year.

Sixty-five per cent of spring wheat, 57 per cent of canola, 47 per cent of lentils and 54

per cent of peas are in good condition.

Many areas received rain showers this week, although amounts varied significantly.

In some areas in the southwest, the rain has helped replenish top soil moisture.

The Vanguard area received 80 mm of rain, the Shaunavon area 49 mm, the Success area 39 mm, the Fife Lake area 23 mm, the Mossbank area 15 mm and the Tompkins area 18 mm.

Other parts of Saskatchewan reporting significant rainfall include the Broadview area

56 mm, the Fillmore area 30 mm, the Jedburgh area 53 mm, the Humboldt area 38 mm, the Eyebrow area 42 mm and the Tisdale area 32 mm.

Provincially, topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as two per cent surplus, 64 per cent adequate, 30 per cent short and four per cent very short.

Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 55 per cent adequate, 35 per cent short and 10 per cent very short. Topsoil moisture is in shortest supply

in the southwest.

Haying operations have started and five per cent of the hay crop has been cut and two per cent baled or put into silage. Across the province, quality is rated as eight per cent excellent, 44 per cent good, 38 per cent fair and 10 per cent poor.

Crops, hay and pasture — particularly in the southwestern and west-central regions — are being affected by the dry conditions. Hay yield is expected to be lower than average and pastures are expected

to have significantly reduced carrying capacity going into the summer months.

As well as starting to cut hay, producers are finishing weed control operations. The majority of crop damage this week was due to lack of moisture. Cutworms are still causing damage in some areas.

The importance of giving people water

In the corner of the National Indigenous People’s Day celebrations was a woman with a cooler. She was handing out bottles of water to anyone who wanted one, free and with no obligations. She probably saved someone’s life.

That sounds like hyperbole, but anyone at the event will likely understand exactly what I’m talking about. It was hot out, extremely hot in fact. There was a ton of activity going on and a lot of people in the park. It’s the exact scenario where someone could easily become dehydrated or overheated. But there was a handy person with a bunch of water for the taking. In the intense

heat, that’s important.

Also important? The MC that was reminding people to take a drink, especially dancers who were doing some pretty intense physical activity in heavy regalia. It’s easy to forget to take a drink, but there was always a reminder that you can, and should, drink as much as possible on this hot summer day.

It was a day of celebration, it was a day highlighting the strengths of Indigenous culture, and it was a day when nobody was lacking for hydration.

Why am I doing an entire column on what seems like a relatively minor part of the day

DEVIN WILGER

Thinking I do with words... overall? It’s because it’s something not everyone is thinking about. Water bottles aren’t always a priority when people go out to enjoy themselves.

Sometimes people are rushed, sometimes people just don’t think ahead, sometimes people are focused on something else to such a degree that they forget about some of the other things they

need. Water feels like something that’s kind of minor, that we don’t think about when we’re about to set out for the day, that we might not necessarily prioritize. That’s also why it’s incredibly important when you’re plan-

ning an event like this.

You have to think about the things people forget they need.

On a day like Jun. 21, you needed water, there was no getting around it.

It was too hot to do anything without a drink at the ready. And the event had it right there, anticipating what you need.

The event overall was excellent, the organizers put on an afternoon in the park that Yorkton can be proud of and should already be anticipating next year. It was excellent for reasons beyond the easy to access hydra-

tion, make no mistake, the organizers did everything right. But I wanted to highlight a relatively small detail because it’s more important than people might give it credit for. It might not be why people came to the park, but it was why everyone could leave happy, healthy and hydrated.

It’s also a reminder for us during the other hot days of summer that we are going to encounter soon. It’s going to be hot, so take a bottle of water; there won’t always be a woman with a cooler handing it out.

Testing best way to battle HIV

By Sean Mott Staff Writer HIV is a big problem in Saskatchewan. The province has the highest rate of the disease in Canada, with hundreds of confirmed cases. It’s an ailment that has impacted people from all walks of life.

Deanna Bartok, HIV Strategy Coordinator with the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA), understands the prevalence of the disease in this province.

She believes education and routine tests are the best ways to curb the spread of HIV. “I think it’s important for the whole community to understand that everybody should be tested routinely,” she said. “It isn’t just about folks that might be at high risk of contracting it.”

Bartok brought a proposal to Yorkton City

council on Jun. 25 asking them to make Jun. 27 HIV Testing Day in the area.

The motion passed unanimously, leading to a daylong free HIV testing clinic at the SIGN building on Broadway Street last Wednesday.

“It’s an opportunity for folks to come out, get tested...and dispel some of those myths and misconceptions about how HIV is spread,” Bartok said.

Bartok thinks the public’s perception of HIV is rooted in misinformation and out-of-date notions.

“People still think it’s spread by sharing dishes,” she said. “We’re still stuck in 1984.”

Bartok said HIV has become a much more manageable disease over the years.

“It’s a very treatable chronic condition,” she said. “A lot of folks will live a long, healthier life well into their adult and aging years.”

Several people visited SIGN to get tested, including Councillor Mitch Hippsley. The organizers invited him as a guest.

“I was happy to be a player in their publicity,” he said.

Hippsley was surprised at the quickness and painlessness of his HIV test.

“I would recommend [testing] to anyone,” he said. “[The test] doesn’t feel like anything.”

While HIV Testing Day has come and gone, Bartok said people can get tested anytime by their doctor, at the Yorkton Health Office, or at the Turning Point program in the SIGN building.

“You can’t look at somebody and say that person does or doesn’t have the infection,” she said. “The only way to know is to get tested.”

Communities in Bloom upcoming

Just a reminder: the Yorkton In Bloom competition is coming up! If you’re interested to enter your yard or garden in one of a variety of categories, please remember that the deadline to enter is Jul. 7, and judging will be on Jul. 10 – 12.

If you’d like more information, please call 7861776. These gardens are always an inspiration, so thank you and congratulations to everyone who enters the competition!

And one more note: Wednesday, Aug. 8 is the date of the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society’s Annual Fruit, Flower and Vegetable Show at St. Gerard’s Parish Complex. Here’s your chance to see the best of the gardening year: fruit and vegetable displays, cut flowers, plant displays and flower arrangements.

Your admission price includes tea or coffee and dainties, so please mark that date down and plan to join us! Be sure to bring a friend! It’s a lovely way to spend an afternoon!

I know some people have been asking about the Saskatchewan H o r t i c u l t u r a l Association’s Bus Tour.

The bus tour takes place Jul. 15 – 17, and is the “Honeywood Lilies In Bloom and The North”. The tour visits Honeywood Heritage Nursery, Waskesiu, La Ronge, Stanley Mission, and Missinipi. The poster says “Be awed by lilies, art, history, nature’s water and firepower, and rocky gardening by experiencing the beauty and natural wonder of Northern Saskatchewan.” It sounds like a wonderful tour! I am not sure if any spots are still available on this tour, but if you are interested please call Sheila Glennie at (306) 338-7304 for more information.

Any gardener who has lilies in their gardens has a task to do. Did you know there is something very destructive that could be in your garden at this very moment?

The Red lily leaf beetle is a destructive invader that attacks any type of lily, even the beautiful

DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

Gardener’s Notebook wild lilies that are our province’s official flower.

This beetle has been moving from eastern Canada, and has been found in Saskatchewan and even in Alberta.

We have to check our lilies for signs of the beetle: if they are in our gardens we will know, because they are lilyeating machines that will eat all of our beautiful lilies: leaves, buds, and stems in a very short time. Check the undersides of the lily leaves for clusters of eggs; you will know them when you see them because they are dark orange in color.

From what I have read about the beetle, it sounds like the best way to get rid of them is for us to check our plants by hand and destroy the beetles. What are we looking for? The beetle is bright red with black legs and a black underside, no spots, up to 8 millimetres in size, with a rectangular shaped

body. Do not harm any ladybugs by mistake: the beetle has no spots.

Daylilies are not bothered by these voracious pests. But please do be vigilant and keep an eye on any lilies you may have in your garden.

It is a good idea to check for any kind of pests in your garden when you are doing your daily tour. It is much easier to get rid of them at the beginning of their attacks on our plants, rather than wait until things have reached a critical point.

We work so hard with our plants; we want to keep them as healthy as we can!

We extend a warm gardening welcome and say hello to the White City garden Club who will be touring in the area this weekend! We hope you enjoy all your visits!

Visit the Yorkton Hort Society at www.yorktonhort.ca. Have a great week and be sure to wear a hat!

Ride this vacation road with me Today’s itinerary stretches between our son’s place in B.C.’s Kootenay region and my father’s nursing home in Abbotsford.

Highway #95, the twolane highway connecting Invermere and Golden, B.C. has become one of my favourite sections of that route.

Under blue sky and dumpling clouds, we motor through vast forests, glimpsing occasional vistas of rivers below and mountain peaks above, still patchy with snow. The Preacher drives, munching Scotch mints and counting osprey nests perched on telephone poles.

“Three...four, with bird...”

“Eagle,” I say. “That one was an eagle. Hey.

I think we’re almost there.”

“Not yet,” he says.

“Five...” We drive on, watching for my favourite photo stop – a rundown mountain cabin, set back from the road.

It’s almost a friend now.

In the decade and a half our son has lived in the Kootenays, I’ve shot it often, in every season but winter. Even though B.C. raised me, winter mountain roads don’t suit this particular flatlander.

“Rats. That was it.”

Avoiding logging trucks, the Preacher makes a three-point turn on 95’s narrow shoulders.

The old house has aged. Its roof sags more than ever. I snap some photos with affection, wondering if I’ll see it

again before it collapses.

We carry on through Glacier National Park.

“From son to father,” I say, thinking aloud as we descend Roger’s Pass.

“Huh?” “We just left our son, and we’re heading to see Dad.” My father’s almost 94, a little like the old house, but eager for my arrival.

“Oh, right.” The

Preacher keeps his eyes on the road, passing slower traffic and varying his speed for a construction zone. YOUR SPEED, 101 km, reads a digital sign. He slows to fifty. We enter and exit a matched pair of snow sheds.

“Check your brakes before descent,” a yellow sign reads.

“Good thing you got

the brakes done before we left,” I say, as we slice between spear-like cedars, rising on my side, dropping steeply on his.

“Well, that was very nice.”

I glance up from my computer. “What’s nice?”

“We missed a falling rock,” he says. “Landed about twenty feet ahead.”

“How big?”

He circles his hands.

“Bout so.” I ponder the grace of protection, then shift thoughts to our Heavenly Father’s surrounding handiwork.

lake.

“I’m so glad,” reads the back of the vehicle ahead. Me too. Glad for this long-awaited vacation. Glad for our glorious country. Glad for the Preacher at the wheel.

Glad for travelling mercies. Glad for pleasant days spent with our son.

Glad for the expected reunion with Dad and other relatives.

A more lasting present accompanies the gift of every vacation – the opportunity to make precious memories. My vacation – and yours too – will pass, but our memories we get to keep.

The tag reads: With love from God, giver of every good and perfect gift.

Thank you, Lord – for each one.

Student loan applications now open The 2018-19 student loan year is underway and students can now submit their applications for student financial assistance for academic programs beginning on or after August 1, 2018.

The Government of Canada and the Government of Saskatchewan have made recent updates to the Canada-Saskatchewan Integrated Loan Program to help eligible students pay for post-secondary education.

These include: $200 per month in additional grant money for full-time students who have been out of high school for at least 10 years.

Changes to how the Canada Student Grant is

calculated for full and part-time students with dependents.

Ability to request grants-only funding (money that you do not need to pay back) and decline the loans portion (money you must pay back).

“Our government is committed to ensuring students have access to the education and training they need to build their careers and their futures,” Advanced Education Minister Tina Beaudry-Mellor said.

“These updates to the student loan program will help ensure postsecondary education remains affordable for students.”

Loans and grants can be used to pay for

more than just tuition.

Students can use this money for living expenses such as rent, food, transportation and child care.

In 2018-19, the provincial government is providing approximately $73 million in financial assistance for about 17,000 students. Students

are encouraged to apply early.

Both full-time and part-time students can apply for financial assistance.

As well, Saskatchewan Grade 12 graduates (as of 2012

or later) enrolled at a Saskatchewan post secondary institution, will automatically receive the Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship of up to $500 each year (to a maximum

of $2,000).

More information on Saskatchewan student loans can be found at www.saskatchewan.ca/ studentloans or by calling 1-800-597-8278.

Wide-base single tires pilot extended The Government of Saskatchewan has announced that the pilot program, allowing trucks to increase the weight on wide-base single tires has been extended for one more year. In addition, it has been expanded to all paved National Highway Systems in the province.

This pilot started last year and allows permitted trucks to increase the weight on wide-base single tires (WBST), 455 mm or wider, from 3,850 kg to 4,250 kg per tire. The New Generation Wide Base Tires are a single wide tire that replaces the traditional dual tires

on commercial vehicles.

“We are pleased to continue working with the Saskatchewan trucking industry to help reduce their operating costs and effect on greenhouse gas emissions to our environment,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister David Marit said. “We are extending the free permit period for another year while we finalize the fee and administration process for widebase single tires here in the province.”

Prairie Resilience, the province’s madein-Saskatchewan cli-

mate change strategy is designed to curb greenhouse gas emissions, prepare for changing conditions and protect people and communities through resilience and readiness.

The strategy, available on www.saskatchewan. ca, proposes action in key areas including natural systems, physical infrastructure, economic sustainability and community preparedness.

The Cardinals lone victory last week was a highlight in a difficult season.

Cards rebound after three tough losses

By Sean Mott Staff Writer On Saturday night, the Yorkton Cardinals bounced back from a series of losses, triumphing over the visiting Moose Jaw Miller Express.

Yorkton grabbed an early lead in the Jun. 30 game. Riley Jepson scored a run in the second inning. Thirus Jones, Griffey Halle, Jared McDonald, and Ryne Niemi followed suit in the third.

Niemi, McDonald, and Clyde Yeh capped off the Cardinals scoring streak in the fifth inning, pushing the team

to an 8-5 victory against the Miller Express.

The win was a solid rebound for the team, which struggled during the last week.

The Medicine Hat Mavericks showed no mercy to the Cardinals when they came to town on Thursday night. The visiting team scored a decisive, overwhelming victory against the home squad on Jun. 28, setting a strong tone for their back-to-back games in Yorkton.

The Mavericks burst out the gate in the first inning, nabbing six runs. They added nine more points to their score in the third, fourth, seventh, eighth,

and ninth innings.

Yorkton couldn’t muster a response, going scoreless for seven innings. Colin Kellington managed to grab the team’s only run in the eighth.

The Cardinals fell to the Mavericks 15-1.

Yorkton put up a better fight on Friday when they battled the Mavericks again, but the game resulted in another loss for the home team.

The Cardinals started off strong, scoring a run in the first inning. They managed to snag three points in the fourth.

end of their scoring ways, as the Mavericks pulled ahead for a final winning score of 7-4.

On the road The Cardinals didn’t fare much better when the faced the Regina Red Sox earlier in the week during an away game.

Yorkton lost to Regina on Jun. 27.

Neither team put their best foot forward as they failed to score any runs in the the first two innings. The Red Sox edged ahead of the Cardinals, grabbing runs in the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth innings.

Jared McDonald tried to

rally the Cardinals in the ninth by putting a run on the board, but it wasn’t enough to catch up with the Red Sox. Regina came out on top 4-1.

While Yorkton defeated Moose Jaw on Saturday, it was a different story Sunday at Ross Well’s Park. Colin Kellington scored the team’s sole run in the sixth innning.

Moose Jaw steamrolled the Cardinals on their way to a 6-1 victory.

Up next The Cardinals will face the Brooks Bombers on Wednesday, Jul. 4, at Jubilee Park.

Leafs make splash with free agent signing Canada Day for hockey fans is always a big occasion as free agents in the National Hockey League start inking deals.

This year the big news is certainly John Tavares leaving the New York Islanders to sign a sevenyear, $77 million contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

As a Leaf fan, I’m liking the news a lot, as Tavares gives the team a true superstar and arguably the best player to wear the uniform since Sundin or Gilmour.

Frankly he’s probably better than those two, as well.

With Tavares, Auston Matthews, and Nazem Kadri, the Maple Leafs have depth at centre, which is always a key to success.

However, the Leafs are still thin on defence, without a bonafide number one and that still leaves a serious question mark in my mind.

Still, the Leafs certainly made the biggest splash Sunday among Canadian teams.

My favourite team in Winnipeg probably got worse rather than better as the Vegas Golden Knights signed agent center Paul Stastny.

Stastny had an impact with the Jets after coming over in a trade deadline deal with St. Louis and

there was some wishful thinking the team would resign him, especially after dumping Steve Mason and Joel Armia to Montreal to free up some salary cap, but it didn’t happen.

Speaking of Montreal, the once proud franchise has become a train wreck of late and while they added some bodies through trades and free agency, the roster looks a long way from being a winning one.

Ottawa also remains a dumpster fire in the early days of July.

After early season troubles last season, I had expected some big moves by Edmonton, but no deal was made that really bolsters the team.

Calgary, by contrast, added a couple of interesting pieces in Derek Ryan and James Neal.

Neither are superstars but they should add some nice depth to a Flames team that needs consistency.

Vancouver is still a ways from contention, but they should be harder to play this season after the Canucks signed forwards Jay Beagle, Antoine Roussel, and Tim Schaller. The trio don’t score a lot, but they are character guys who work hard.

The results so far sug-

CALVIN DANIELS

Opinion gest Toronto will be better but the defence may scuttle a playoff run.

Winnipeg is a team that will look a lot like last year pre-trade deadline, and that was still an exciting team that won a lot.

Calgary should be in the mix for a playoff spot.

While grittier, the Canucks are still in the early phase of a rebuild.

The remaining three teams on this side of the border at this point look much like last season, when none of them made the playoffs.

Jones needed to yank him after a half of football.

It’s been rather obvious Jones has no interest in Bridge as a quarter-

back, which would suggest the team needs to rely on David Watford to do something in the next few games, pending an early Collaros return.

Watford’s second half numbers were essentially identical to Bridge so it’s more Jones than it is player skill in this decision process.

Bridge, Watford, or Collaros might all benefit from a dramatic receiver like Duron Carter but the all-knowing Jones has him playing defence

where he’s exposed to small, fast receivers and has a penchant for some questionable penalties.

Defensive backs are said to be easier to find than star receivers, but apparently Jones and staff struggle to do so, meaning Carter’s big play ability is lost to astruggling Roughrider offence. This seems to be Jones at work, trumping a more common sense approach to stabilizing the green and white’s offence.

It’s difficult to watch our Saskatchewan Roughriders right now.

Starting pivot Zach Collaros is hurt, which is not a surprise.

The Parkland Expos and their coaches pose for a photo.

Parkland Expos at top of the heap

By Sean Mott Staff Writer The 2018 Parkland Expos capped off a dominant baseball season by winning the Regina AA Bantam League on Jul. 1.

The Expos held an impressive record of 23-1 during the regular season. They were undefeated in the playoffs, winning all four of their games.

The team is comprised of five Yorkton players (Evan McCubbing, Sebastian Courville, Keanen Gynp, Logan Walters, and Kaiden Malysh), five Melville players (Ryan Rathgeber, Kaden Smith, Owen Cook, Carter Phythian, and Spencer Phythian), Clay Sleeva from Canora, and Mathew Datema from Saltcoats.

The team is gearing up for the Saskatchewan Provincials later this month.

Anglers reminded to report tagged fish Fish tagging is a common research tool used to temporarily or permanently mark fish that are a part of a scientific study. Organizations who tag these fish often rely on anglers to report tags when the tagged fish are caught.

Tag reports provide valuable insight on fish movement and survival, which inform fisheries management. Anglers may notice tags along the back of a fish. The tag appearance may vary depending on the type of tag and its function.

The most common tag is a T-bar tag or “noodle tag” which is typically located alongside a dorsal fin.

If an angler comes across a tagged fish, they should examine the tag for a unique identification number (typically three to six numerical digits) and contact information. The identification number should be recorded and reported to the email address or phone number printed on the tag as soon as possible. Alternatively, tags can be reported to a local Conservation Officer or

Ministry of Environment Compliance Office.

It is also helpful to include additional information in the report, such as the tag colour, species, fish length or weight, location and date of capture. Photos of the fish are also very useful as part of the research.

Please leave the tags on the fish if they are released back into the water.

The Government of Saskatchewan has conducted several tagging

projects on waterbodies throughout the province.

In addition, the province has partnered with other agencies and research groups on various fish studies that use different types of fish tags.

Some of the popular lakes for recreational angling where tagged fish may be found include: Tobin Lake, Last Mountain Lake, Buffalo Pound Reservoir, the Qu’Appelle Lakes, Lake Diefenbaker and Boundary Reservoir.

Canada Day Regatta Paddlers from the Yorkton Canoe Kayak Club competed this past weekend at the Canada Day Regatta & Canada Cup West in Regina. This competition is the largest of the season, and hosted athletes from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Yukon, BC, and the USA (Oklahoma and Seattle).

“This is an amazing opportunity to meet and paddle with athletes from different clubs in Canada and the USA. How often does a kid from Yorkton get to say they competed against athletes from Oklahoma?” said YCKC head coach Jessica Riley.

“It’s a chance for our athletes, especially the newer paddlers, to see a mass of people come together and celebrate a cool sport. They see the older athletes compete, then use them as role models when setting personal goals for training.

They also paddle with kids their own age that are new to the sport and then get to share with each other the excitement of racing for the first time at a large competition.”

Competitors Stephan Roy (U11), Seth Quiring (U11), Ewan Hutzul (U13), Sara Switzer (U11), Tayja Kohut (U11), Sophie Smith (U11), Josh-lynn Kohut (U13), Elia Bolme (U13), Angela Fetsch (U13) represented team YCKC. YCKC athlete Ethan Caskey raced for the Saskatoon Racing Canoe Club this past weekend as he trains in team boats to qualify for the Canadian Canoe/ Kayak Championships in August.

“YCKC athletes had many great accomplishments this weekend.

Each paddler had personal goals for the competition and achieved them! Day two of racing included rough weather due to high winds, but our athletes didn’t quit and finished the com-

petition very well!” says Riley.

Stephan Roy walked away with one gold, two silvers, and one bronze medal. He placed second in his U11 Men’s K1 200m with a time of 1:09.51 with the first place finisher having a time of 1:09.01.

Roy also placed 6th in the U13 Men’s K1 2000m final of 20 racers.

Seth Quiring and Ewan Hutzul were new to the Canada Day Regatta and had excellent races for their first time at this competition. Quiring won gold and bronze in team events and placed fourth in his K1 (single) 500m race. Hutzel achieved personal goals in his K1 events and won silver in his team event.

Sophie Smith, Sara Switzer, and Angela Fetsch were also new recruits for the Canada Day competition. Smith and Switzer won gold in their U11 K2 500m event. Smith paddled with members of the Oklahoma team in a K4 (4 person team) event and won silver. Switzer won bronze in the same event paddling with a YCKC crew, won silver in her U11 Women’s K1 500m final, bronze in her U11 Women’s K1 200m final, and silver with Tayja Kohut in the U11 K2 200m event.

Fetsch made her Canada Day debut with a bronze in the U13 women’s K4 200m final, advanced to finals in three of her U13 events, placed top 10 in the U13 Women’s K1 2000m race, and 22nd racing up in the U15 women’s K1 4000m event. Fetsch’s K4 event with members of team Yukon placed fifth in the final.

In addition to her silver medal in her K2 200m event with Switzer, Tayja Kohut raced with a partner from team Edmonton to win bronze in the U11 women’s K2 500m event.

T. Kohut placed fifth in

the U11 K1 200m event and seventh overall in the U11 women’s K1 500m final.

Josh-lynn Kohut advanced to two A-finals and placed well despite bad weather conditions.

Kohut placed 14th in the U13 women’s K1 2000m event. J. Kohut took home bronze with Switzer, Fetsch, and Bolme in the U13 women’s K4 200m event.

Elia Bolme advanced to finals in three events.

Bolme placed 15th of 33 racing up in the U15 women’s K1 4000m long distance event, placed 6th in the U13 women’s K1 2000m event, and won bronze with her YCKC teammates in the K4 200m event.

Ethan Caskey won Bronze in his U17 Men’s K1 1000m event.

Caskey raced with team Saskatoon and walked away with an additional two gold, and one silver in K2 and K4 events.

Place can shape our family roots Wednesday, July 4, 2018 | www.YorktonThisWeek.com | Yorkton This Week

If you have ever stood in the middle of a wide open prairie, with fresh breezes blowing across your face, wondering what the country looked like to the pioneers as they arrived to their new home, you are asking a question that is very important to genealogy research. How did the new surroundings help to shape our relatives?

For some, it made them stronger, more determined, and independent.

It took gruelling, backbreaking work to start a new life, but it was their own. Whether they left their old country because of poverty, war, or persecution, coming here was a fresh start to a new life.

Their hard work resulted in a home they could truly call their own.

For others, the strain

of the weather, the isolation, and the exhausting work required became too much to bear. They went back to more settled locations in the East, and likely never looked back.

To learn more about the lifestyle of the prairies, visit a site from the University of Alberta Libraries called “Peel’s Prairie Provinces” (http:// peel.library.ualberta.ca).

The home page of this site tells us that “Peel contains approximately 7,500 digitized books, over 66,000 newspaper issues (4.8 million articles!), 16,000 postcards, and 1,000 maps. These materials are extremely varied – rich in both text and images, providing an extraordinarily diverse picture of the Prairie experience. Many of the

To its credit, the Forest Products Association of Canada recognizes climate change is a serious threat to forests and habitat, and has vowed the sector it represents “is doing its part to fight climate change through work in our forests, at our mills and through the products we make.”

But it appears the association has an ulterior motive. Its climate commitments are spelled out on a website page that focuses on the role of climate change in caribou population declines, and argues a federal strategy to protect at-risk caribou, in part through

habitat management, “won’t work and will hurt local economies.”

There’s no climate science denial, but there is caribou science denial.

To downplay the urgent need to protect caribou and manage habitat, and to diminish their own role in boreal caribou declines, forest industry associations are using tactics the fossil fuel industry uses to sow doubt and confusion about scientific evidence.

These “strategies of manufactured uncertainty” have “successfully delayed efforts to effectively address the decline of boreal caribou,

items date back to the earliest days of exploration in the region and include a vast range of material dealing with every aspect of the settlement and development of the Canadian West.”

Browse through the site; enjoy viewing amazing images of prairie life by clicking on the “featured collections” tab on the top toolbar, then clicking on “Peel’s Prairie Postcards.” The

postcards are divided into categories such as activities and sports, animals, buildings, land and land use, organizations, people, and more. There are also Henderson Directories going back to 1905, and a wide variety of local newspapers.

It is important to include more than just name and dates in your genealogy research.

Having an understanding of the landscape

and lifestyle help us to understand why certain ancestors possibly stayed or moved to various locations.

Perhaps great-great Uncle Theodore left the area where the entire family settled to pursue other work, or to be part of a larger settlement from his homeland.

Knowing the events of the time can be of great benefit and interest to family research.

Is researching your family tree a project that you have been interested in pursuing, but you are not sure where to begin?

The Yorkton branch of the Saskatchewan Genealogical Society meets on the second Tuesday of each month (except July and August) at 7:00 p.m. at the Yorkton

Public Library. Meetings usually have a featured topic or speaker, and genealogists at any stage of research are welcome.

Whether you are just beginning to trace your family tree or have been researching for a long time, you will find conversations and experiences that will help you on your family quest.

This summer, gather up the information you have and bring it along to the first meeting in September; the group can help you formulate your next research steps!

Caribou science denial cripples conservation efforts DAVID SUZUKI

Science Matters which is protected under federal, provincial and territorial legislation, and inhibited meaningful dialogue about socially acceptable conservation solutions,” according to a new report in the June issue of Wildlife

Society Bulletin, “From Climate to Caribou: How Manufactured Uncertainty is Impacting Wildlife Management.”

The report, by researchers from Ontario Nature and the Universities of Guelph

and Toronto, further states that while the fossil fuel sector is the most prominent purveyor of science denial — with five companies and organizations alone spending US$115 million a year “to avoid new climate policy and regulation” — similar tactics have been used in debates over regulating lead paint, tobacco, DDT, acid rain and chlorofluorocarbons. All employ a “multi-pronged strategy of denial”: deny the problem exists, deny its key causes and claim that resolving the problem is too costly.

The strategy also includes vilification of and personal attacks against those who advocate for change. Some have cast efforts to improve caribou habitat policy as “eco-terrorism” and “environmental extremism.”

Focusing on Ontario, the researchers show the strategy has been employed in the conflict between industrial logging and boreal caribou conservation.

Boreal caribou are listed as “threatened” and are protected under federal species at risk legislation. “Yet, as scientific understanding of the decline of boreal caribou populations has become clearer, and agreement among scientists and governments about habitat management requirements has increased, campaigns of denial have intensified in the public sphere,” the report says.

The Ontario Forest Industries Association and others deny boreal caribou are at risk, despite numerous studies showing they are, and claim that “without an adequate understanding how woodland caribou herds use the landscape — let alone a firm grasp of the differences between ecotypes of the subspecies — it is not possible to develop science-based policy.”

The report quotes forestry interests that claim industrial logging does not harm caribou and, in fact, may help them,

despite contrary evidence from numerous peer-reviewed studies.

A number of organizations, politicians and media outlets have also argued protecting caribou will kill jobs and wreak economic havoc.

However, research shows that other factors, such as “structural changes in the demand for forest products, high labour and energy costs, and decline of real net investment in the sector” have caused recent forest industry downturns. Ultimately, if economic growth must come at the cost of boreal caribou survival, it isn’t sustainable.

The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada, which assesses species and makes recommendations about their listing under the Species at Risk Act, has examined the available evidence and concluded 81 per cent of boreal caribou herds are in decline and all woodland caribou ecotypes — boreal, mountain and migratory — are diminishing in Canada. A main cause for boreal caribou decline is habitat degradation, mostly from industrial activity, and consequent changes in predator-prey dynamics.

Caribou play an important role in forest ecosystems. With all we know about the animals and how to protect them, we must resist industry’s false narrative. As the report concludes, “the debate should now focus on goal-setting and implementation of caribou conservation strategies, including range plans and protection of critical habitat, which have the highest likelihood of achieving longterm caribou persistence while minimizing effects to jobs in the sector.”

Made of wood, except for the magnet nodules, this game will look great on a desk or book shelf, set on a small stand, where it can start a conversation and lead to a quick game or two. That is a nice plus.

The game is so compact, aesthetically pleasing, easily learned, yet mind-bending, that it really deserves the highest recommendation.

Later he moved to Edmonton and worked in construction and for a natural gas company. His last move was back to Wroxton where he enjoyed his horses, cattle, cats and dogs. He learnt the art of making home brew and supplied many weddings in the area. Socializing with family and friends was very important to John. He especially loved music and dancing. Predeceased by his father Steve, mother Nellie; three brothers, David, Mike and Nick and a sister in infancy, John is survived by his brothers, Orest, Peter and Norman; sisters Mary, Annie, Jennie, Katie and Pauline and numerous nieces and nephews.

The Funeral Service was held at Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre on Thursday, June 28, 2018 with Rev. Fr. Ray Lukie, C.Ss.R. of St. Mary’s Church officiating.

BOWES (Elmy) - Isabel was born in September of 1917 on the farm in the Perley district of Saskatchewan; the youngest of ten children born to Charles and Helen Gibson.

In 1939 she married Orville Elmy.

The couple farmed and started growing registered seed. They raised three children: Sylvia (Fred, deceased 2018) Armbruster; Robert (Verene) Elmy and John (Jeanine) Elmy.

Grandchildren: Gordon Armbruster, Kim OFarrell, Terralee Armbruster, Kevin Elmy, Leann Jarvis, Aaron Elmy, Curtis Elmy, Chad Elmy, Jason Miller, Brent Miller and Jenessa Miller. In 1987 Orville passed away and in 1992 Isabel married Ivan Bowes, a longtime friend. Ivan’s family includes Eileen Burback (Vic Yaciuk); Jean (deceased) Ray Pryslak; Allen Bowes (Nadine); Lorne Bowes (Judy); Linda (Greg Manwaring); Brian Bowes (Anne); Donald Bowes (Donna). Also numerous great-grandchildren, nephews and nieces. Ivan passed away in 2002.

Isabel’s hobbies were gardening during the summer months and watching sports. When Orville and Isabel retired, they moved to Yorkton and enjoyed many winters in Texas. When Orville passed, Isabel moved to Saltcoats and then moved to the Bentley in Yorkton where she enjoyed her last years. Following a short stay at the Kamsack Nursing Home and a very brief time at the Lakeside Manor Care Home, Isabel passed away on Friday, June 22, 2018. She was 100 years, 8 months and 1 day of age.

The funeral service was held on Wednesday, June 27, 2018 from the Saltcoats Town Hall with Shelley Morris officiating. Pianist, Ruth Datema, led members of the congregation in the singing of the hymns ‘Beyond the Sunset’, ‘In the Garden’ and ‘Precious Lord, Take My Hand’. A trio of Linda Datema and Theresa and Carla Laycock sang ‘In the Bulb There is a Flower’. Honourary Bearers were Curtis, Chad and Kevin Elmy, Terralee and Gordon Armbruster, Brian and Donna Bowes and Leann Jarvis. The interment took place in the Saltcoats Town Cemetery with Aaron Elmy and Kim OFarrell serving as the urn bearers. Condolences can be left at baileysfuneralhome.com.

DENESIUK - Michalina ‘Mae’ Denesiuk (nee Misko) went to the Lord on Wednesday, June 20, 2018. Left to grieve are her children Byron of Kelowna, BC, Kim (Ron) of Summerland, BC, Sheldon (Linda) of Calgary, AB and Kelowna, BC and Holly (Tim) of Kelowna, BC; grandsons Derek Denesiuk, Joshua Sarada and Jeremy (Selina) Sarada; sister Elsie Tkachuk of Moose Jaw, SK; brothers-in-law Orest (Nettie) Denesiuk of Edmonton, AB, Merv (Emma) Denesiuk of Edmonton, AB; sister-in-law Anne (Nick) Tkatchuk of Vancouver, BC and a host of nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Mae was predeceased by her husband Walter Denesiuk in 1996. Born on the farm in Fenwood, SK on April “Twag”(12th), 1930, Mae was the 12th of 13 children, the 9th daughter of Mary (nee Smuk) and John Misko. She went to Maxwellton School, a one room building with one teacher, 9 grades and 45 students. She excelled in baseball and hockey and was always the fastest racer (her words!).

She claims being the 2nd last of 13 children taught her to be quick, especially when it came to grabbing the delicious crust off the homemade bread and licking it so no other sibling would grab it. She moved to Yorkton, SK to the city house the family owned and sold chickens, eggs and farm produce door to door. She met Walter Denesiuk at the dance hall in Goodeve, SK and they married in 1950. They moved to the Denesiuk homestead outside of Goodeve and farmed for 30 years while raising 4 children. Auntie Mae was a favourite of all the nieces and nephews and often had many of them holidaying at the farm. They all loved her twisted fairy tales where all the villains met a demise far more traumatizing and worse than the original authors could ever imagine. Mae moved to Moose Jaw, SK and started working at Valleyview Centre, where she spent 15 happy years. She was loved by all the residents and had a soft spot for resident Billy Scott and his puppies. She was thrilled to become a grandmother to Derek Denesiuk and to Joshua and Jeremy Sarada and visited them in Summerland as often as she could. After retirement, Mae joined the ladies auxiliary of the Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and spent many years making pierogis, cabbage rolls, bread, cinnamon buns and pies. She always loved to sing and joined the choir at the church and sang Ukrainian folk songs and hymns daily. She was a voracious reader and read anything, but was especially fond of the National Examiner, which she read with as much gusto as the latest best seller by Janette Walls or Patricia Cornwall. Her favourite music was country and western and Shania Twain was her hero, alongside Pavarotti, Placedo Domingo and Beverly Sills. Mae’s favourite hobby was gambling, first at the bingo halls of Moose Jaw and Regina with her best friend/sister Elsie, before they moved onto the casinos. They took many fun bus trips to different casinos and according to Mae, she always came out ahead! Mae moved to Summerland, BC when she turned 80 years old to be closer to her family and we took full advantage of being able to spend time bonding with her. She was a joy. She enjoyed playing bingo at the Seniors’ Centre on Mondays, happy hour with her friends at Parkdale Place, the Fall Fair at the arena and as often as she could, the casino at the Penticton Lakeside Resort. When she turned 83 she moved into the Summerland Seniors Village and became involved in activities hosted by the facility such as dances, performances, and sightseeing trips. She had a warm, inviting demeanor and terrific sense of humour and was always ready to socialize and tell a long drawn out story, with a different ending every time. Even after being confined to a wheelchair she was quick to show off her self-taught tap dancing skills. She had the unique gift of effortlessly having people feel welcome, accepted and loved in her presence, always. She was a good-will ambassador and an example of how wonderful people can be. Many thanks to the staff on 2CD at the Summerland Seniors Village for helping Mae in the last year and especially the staff on SP3 at the Penticton Regional Hospital for making Mae’s final transition a peaceful and calm experience for her and her family. We gratefully acknowledge the wonderful care shown to Mae by “Doktor Catty” Harrold and her staff over the years; Mae really enjoyed being your patient. A Memorial Mass will be held in Saskatchewan at a later date.

NAGY - It is with great sadness that her family announces the passing of Martha Helen Nagy (nee Daku), beloved wife of the late Emil Nagy, on May 17 at the age of 84. Devoted Mother of daughter Roxann Harris, sons Myron (deceased), Gerry, Darcy, Dean (deceased) and Derek. She was born May 9, 1934 in the Kipling (Bekewar) area to Barbara (nee Fonagy) and Ben Daku Sr. She was the youngest of thirteen children (3 passed away in infancy).

Mom attended Little Mountain School and often spoke of such fond memories of the time. Following school, she went to work at the Kipling Hospital as a nurse’s aide for a few years. It was during this time she met her future husband, Emil Nagy, at a dance at Kenosee.

They married July 3, 1958 at the Bekewar Presbyterian Church just outside Kipling. They began their married life settling into farming in the Willowbrook (Otthon) area.

Shortly after, Roxann was born (1959), Myron (1960), Gerry (1962), Darcy (1964), Dean (1967) and Derek (1971). Mom was a very devoted and loving mother. Being a farm wife, she was very busy. Aside from caring for her children, cooking, gardening, preserving, butchering, etc., she was involved in all aspects of farming, milking cows, haying, driving the grain truck, pretty much whatever Dad needed help with. One special and admirable attribute about Mom was she never complained about work, she seemed to thrive on it. She took us kids to church most Sundays and enjoyed going to visit relatives, neighbours and friends as a family as often as possible. As her kids were starting to graduate high school and head out on their own, mom decided she wanted to work outside of the home. This didn’t go over very well with Dad, but eventually he spoke to Mom again (LOL) and accepted it with pride. Not too long after, she was joined by other farm wives. She loved her job as a Nurse’s Aide at the Yorkton District Nursing Home. She enjoyed working with the elderly and made many close and lasting friendships there with her co-workers. Without exaggeration she must have said a thousand times that working outside the home was the best and smartest thing she ever did, aside from her family. In 1999 she retired after twenty years of dedicated service. That same year Dad passed away.

A few years later, Mom moved to Yorkton and really enjoyed her independence and making new friends. She was a regular most Fridays at New Horizon’s Senior’s dances. Mom was very proud of her Hungarian heritage and her large family from Kipling. She was very close to her parents and siblings. She passed on her Hungarian recipes and now a few grandchildren are using them. She loved curling, watching curling and most of all Brad Gushue. A major highlight was meeting Brad Gushue and getting a picture with him a few years ago in Yorkton. Mom had a great sense of humour with a mischievous side. She was always interested in current local and world news and could handle herself with a good debate on anything she had a strong opinion on. Mom always adored Elvis Presley and had the opportunity to go to Graceland not that many years ago. She definitely had a knack for always picking the perfect card for any occasion.

Predeceased by her parents Barbara and Ben Daku Sr.; her husband Emil in 1999, two sons Dean in 1967 and Myron in 1993. Also predeceased by sisters Barbara, Mary and Ella, brothers Ben, Jim, Joe and Frank. Also several sisters and brothers-in-laws and nephews, mother and father-in-law, Irma and Joseph Nagy. Martha is survived by her daughter Roxann Harris, three sons; Gerry (Diana), Darcy (Carol) and Derek, daughter-in-law Lynn (Warren), 11 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren, sister Ethel Demyen, brother Calvin (Adele) Daku, sister and brothers-in-laws and many nieces and nephews. As per Mom’s wishes, cremation with private family interment to take place at a later date at the Otthon Hungarian United Church Cemetery.

THOMPSON - Born Feb. 27, 1939.

Passed away June 16, 2018. Dick attended elementary school at Creekside and High School in Theodore. In grade 9 he decided he knew what he wanted in life.

Dick’s Principal at the time wouldn’t allow him time off to go help his dad with harvest; he left school and never looked back.

(Dick) John Richardson Thompson, second son of Jim and Lucy Thompson, married Shirley Ann Zahaik, daughter of Tony and Jean Zahaik on October 31, 1957. They celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on October 31, 2017.

“Dr. Dick” had an extreme passion for cattle and a true love for farming.

He earned many banners, trophies and plaques over the years, along with countless friendships in the agricultural world that won’t be forgotten. He served on the Yorkton Bull Sale Board and was instrumental in making it a success over the years. Although his life would seem full his love for horses could not be left out. He raised many horses on his farm (Wheel-in Polled Herefords). On his 50th birthday Shirley bought him a team of retired Chuckwagon ponies, a wagon and a sleigh. Countless rides with family and friends would always put everyone in a feel good mood. He loved to play hockey. His junior years started off in Jedburgh before he went off to play with the Theodore Mohawks for the remainder of his playing days.

Even after hanging up his skates, love for the game led him to coaching the Theodore Buffalos, eventually guiding them to a championship title.

His grandchildren may be surprised to hear of his unknown talent: playing the drums! Dick played in the Gillis Band for a number of years attending many functions in the community and surrounding area. Dick and Shirley were blessed with three children, Barbara, Rick and Norma. They are proud of each of them and all their many accomplishments, each of the kids are very different but they all have the same kindness, love and care towards humans and animals just like their dad. The four grandchildren, Sarah, April, Laura and Curtis kept the nest full at the farm, spending many days at the farm, being pests to grandpa. He loved to spend time with them and put them to work when it was needed. Dick was a wonderful caring person, his simple attitude and great sense of humour always left people feeling welcome. Endless stories, discussions, talks about life were shared over a cup of coffee at the farm kitchen table. Dick will surely be missed as no one can fill his spot in his chair. Dick was predeceased by his parents, James and Lucy Thompson and his beloved sister, Elvie.

He is survived by his wife, Shirley, their three children, Barbara (Mike Baxter) of Hamilton, ON, Rick (Irene) of Theodore, Norma (Carol Gardner) of Victoria, BC. He also leaves to mourn, four grandchildren, Sarah, April, Curtis (Yuliya) and Laura (Matt Benedetti) and two great-granddaughters, Bree and Hailey. In accordance with Dick’s wishes, an informal gathering was held with those he held dear at Christie’s Funeral Home on June 23, 2018. Mr. Warren Crossman officiated over three hundred guests, who came together in loving fellowship to share stories and memories of Dick. Lunch was served while guests reconnected and, because it drove Dick crazy to go to a funeral and only get half of a donut, the long John’s were not cut.

passing. Dick’s chair at our kitchen table was never empty as our home was filled with friends from far away and neighbours who shared wonderful stories with us about Dick’s compassion, sharing and most of all, caring for everyone he met. He was always there for them. We thank everyone who came with countless trays of food and fruit, of flowers, their thoughtful expressions of donations to various charities and monetary funds to be used wherever we chose and all the cards of sympathy that came at the service and through the mail. Everyone at Christie’s was exceptional in the caring and provided for all our needs beyond the professional.

This was Dick’s final way of being with everyone he loved and cared for. He set it up. Heather, you put it together exactly like he wanted it. Thank you. The lunch was delicious (all those long Johns!) and we will be forever grateful to Warren Crossman for his compassion and understanding to all of us when we needed him most. To everyone who came up to share special stories of times spent together with Dick, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts.

YORKTON SMALL ENGINE & REPAIR 386 - 7th Ave. N.

PLAN NUMBER 2-3771 ELEGANT BOXVAULT CEILING This handsome threebedroom, two-storey family home features the main entry to one side of the building, with the living area on the upper floor. On the ground floor, a future two-bedroom secondary suite is included in the plans, ideal as an in-law suite or mortgage-helper.

Entry is through a covered porch and into a foyer with a coat closet to the left. A den is to the right, perfectly placed to serve as a home office.

Beyond is the U-shaped staircase leading to the second floor.

Upstairs, the great room boasts an elegant box-vault ceiling that rises to 15 feet. Sliding doors open onto a large sundeck with a glass balustrade. The gas fireplace will cast its warmth into the adjacent dining area.

The kitchen is divided from the dining area by a two-seat eating bar, and the double sink is set at an angle to save space.

Plenty of counter space

will please the cook, and a doorway leading to a covered deck at the back of the home will make serving outdoor meals a breeze.

The master suite, located at the back of the home for privacy, includes a roomy walk-in closet, as well as a spacious en-suite bathroom.

The second and third bedrooms share a threepiece bathroom. Nearby are closets for linens and cleaning supplies.

The laundry room, with space for a side-byside washer and dryer, is located opposite the third bedroom.

Downstairs, the double garage includes a doorway to the foyer, as well as one to the side garden. A doorway leads from the secondary suite to an outdoor patio.

Exterior finishes include stonework and horizontal siding on the lower half of the facade, with stucco above. Wooden pilasters with stone bases flank the entry to the double garage.

This home measures 32 feet wide and 54 feet, six inches deep, for a

total of 1,462 square feet on the main floor.

Ceilings are nine feet high, except where otherwise indicated.

Plans for design 2-3771 are available for $695 (set of 5), $755 (set of 8) and $803 for a super set of 10. Also add $35.00 for Priority charges within B.C. or $60.00 outside of B.C. Please add H.S.T., PST, OR G.S.T (where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges.

The demand for strong mental health and addictions treatment and care services continues to grow in jurisdictions across Canada. Much work is underway to address these issues by investing in coordinated and integrated care, and ministers shared information on mental health and addictions initiatives in their own communities.

Ministers discussed the importance of mental health and wellness and some of the challenges related to providing community-based services that are accessible and culturally appropriate, and agreed to further collaboration among provinces and territories in this important area.

Opioids and Problematic Substance Use

The toxic drug supply and problematic substance use, including opioids, remains at crisis levels across the country.

Discussions focused on the current and proposed efforts and opportunities provincial and territorial governments are undertaking to address this serious issue. Ministers agreed that more work is needed on a broad range of supports and services.

Discussions will continue with the federal health minister at the federal/provincial/territorial health ministers’ meeting in Winnipeg on Friday, Jun. 29. Provinces and territories will emphasize the importance of longer-term supports and flexibility in announced emergency federal funding to address local and regional priorities, including

significant challenges with crystal meth use in some jurisdictions.

Cannabis Legalization

As progress continues toward the federal legalization of cannabis in Canada, provincial and territorial health ministers discussed their public education and awareness efforts. Ministers reiterated their call on the federal government to immediately enhance public education and awareness efforts to support public health and safety and reduce potential negative outcomes of cannabis use.

The federal government should provide realistic and on-going funding for aligned public education and awareness campaigns, particularly regarding risks associated with drugimpaired driving and health consequences for youth.

Health Equipment Procurement

Based on the success of agreements to jointly negotiate pharmaceutical prices, provinces and territories are pursuing pan-Canadian collaboration to purchase health equipment. Provincial and territorial ministers have advanced recommendations to premiers for consideration at their upcoming meeting that would support innovation, efficiencies and improved patient care.

Pharmaceuticals

Provinces and territories continue to work collaboratively to increase access and lower the cost of prescription drugs for Canadians.

Ministers discussed ongoing opportunities for collective work on pharmaceuticals, and the federal announcement of the Advisory Council on the Implementation of National Pharmacare.

Provincial and territorial ministers agreed that any potential panCanadian pharmacare program would need to improve patient access to drugs, and include adequate and secure long-term federal funding. Any scenarios will need to address param-

Has Heart, Canadian Pacific matched the total amount raised to support a dedicated pediatric cardiology space and specialized equipment in the Pediatric Outpatients Clinic, called the ‘Frog Pod’ at the new Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital. Over the course of four years, the event proceeds are now totalled at $47,272.

Canadian Pacific’s donation match of RE/MAX Family Fun Day is in celebration of the 2018 CP Women’s Open held in Regina, August 20-26 at Wascana Country Club.

eters around the government’s ability to pay and the full range of financial implications for jurisdictions. Provinces and territories must retain responsibility for the design and delivery of public drug coverage.

It is understood that Quebec will maintain its own program and will receive comparable compensation if the federal government puts a panCanadian program in place.

Ministers also received an update and discussed next steps regarding the work being done by the Expensive Drugs for Rare Diseases Working Group to improve the management of rare diseases drug therapies in Canada.

Canada Health Act and Canada Health Transfers

Ministers continue to support the underlying principles of the Canada Health Act, but have increased concerns with the continued decline in the federal share of overall health funding and the lack of collaboration in the application of the Act. They also expressed concerns that the health needs of Canadians are not well served when provincial and territorial governments do not receive fair and sustainable funding through the Canada Health Transfer.

Northern, Rural and Remote Health Care

Ministers also received a presentation on northern, rural and remote health care.

Tomorrow, the provincial and territorial health ministers will meet with the federal health minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor. Provincial and territorial ministers will raise key priorities, including the need for appropriate long-term health funding arrangements, further support for cannabis public awareness and ongoing needs to address opioids and problematic substance use.

NOTE: Given the transition to a new government in Ontario, the province cannot officially endorse the communiqué.
