Christmas seems to come earlier every year. On Nov. 3, families flocked to the Parkland Mall in Yorkton for an afternoon of ornament decorating, painting, and

sweet treats. The event was the first of many that will be held in the city in the coming weeks tied to the holiday season.

Trustee recognized for decades of work By Sean Mott Staff Writer Jerome Niezgoda has been a trustee for a long time and he’s enjoyed every minute of it. Niezgoda was elected as a trustee for Christ the

Teacher Catholic (CTTC) school division in 2000. He’s also worked with the Saskatchewan Catholic School Boards Association (SCSBA). Niezgoda’s 18 years of service was honoured late last month when he

received the Long Service award from SCSBA. “It’s a beautiful gift,” he said. “I was quite pleased and surprised to get it.” Niezgoda has received similar awards in his

career. He’s won recognition awards celebrating his nine- and 15-year anniversaries as a trustee. He thinks acknowledging and celebrating dedicated workers in the school boards is important.

“It’s a good recognition program,” he said. As a trustee, Niezgoda is responsible for education in his school division. He assists the administration with complying with government regulations while finding

the best ways to provide a faith-based learning environment for students. “It’s a challenge,” he said. “It’s been a tremendous learning experience from day one.”

New resource for classrooms In celebration of the 10-year anniversary of the Treaty resource kit, a new Treaty resource is being rolled out for Kindergarten to Grade 9 classrooms across the province. The new teacher resource builds upon

the success of the original Treaty resource kit and was created in collaboration with the Office of the Treaty Commissioner, First Nations Elders and educators. “We are proud that our government was the first

province to make Treaty education mandatory for all students,” Deputy Premier and Education Minister Gordon Wyant said. “We are happy to be able to work with our wonderful partners to provide these resources

to teachers who are supporting our students.” “Our Inherent and Treaty rights are who we are as First Nations, our relationship with the lands and waters is vital to our First Nations,” Federation of Sovereign

Indigenous Nations Chief Bobby Cameron said. “We must remind all those of Treaty through every educational opportunity possible.” The new Kindergarten to Grade 9 Treaty Education Learning

Resource is easy to use and includes suggestions for integrating Treaty education into a range of subject areas at each grade. It provides sample learning activities and links to related

the Canora area Clydesdale owner. But her husband Darcy Korol convinced her to go, reminding her of all the work she had already put into preparing her horses. But it still wasn’t easy. “I was crying when I left,” she admitted, adding it was a big step to be heading out on her own for a show as far away

as Wisconsin. Banga took two horses south. “I normally show four in the summer,” she said. But, with harvest and teaching full-time she didn’t feel she had the time to properly prepare four animals for a world calibre show. At the World Show Banga showed both her mares in halter classes first, capturing a

That, she said, is an advantage because being in harness pulling wagons can cause wear on a horses coat,

an issue in a close halter class. By contrast, in Canada, most animals do both, including Banga’s mares, which would go on to shine in harness in Wisconsin. Still, going into the driving classes Banga was uncertain how her horses would respond to showing inside.

“They had never shown in an arena,” she said, adding there are different distractions for the horses to deal with. The worry proved to be for naught. “They liked it,” said Banga. Reba is Banga’s cart horse. She is a mare with a lot of fire, so she is used in multiple classes, taking them in stride. In the Registered Mare Cart class Banga said she went in to the class with a modest goal in mind. “I was hoping for top10,” she said, adding she was keenly aware it was the toughest cart class she had ever been in. There were 44 competitors in the class. In the ring Banga did realize things had gone well for her and Reba. “After the drive I was hoping for top-three because she drove really well,” she said. In the end she earned the World Championship in the class. “I never dreamed I could win,” she said, noting in the U.S. top mares are selling for $50, $60, $70,000. “It’s getting so competitive and so expensive.” It was a win Banga admitted initially she probably didn’t appreciate as much as others. “As I came out of the ring some guys from Manitoba I show against were crying,” she said. “I don’t think I realized how big it was.” Later she would be runner-up in the Cart Bred and Owned Class. Banga would also capture the championship in the ladies driver class, driving Reba. “There were some really good horses in

It was really tough class, but they drove excellent,” she said, noting there were 57 entries. A third championship came in Ladies Team, which was open to mares, stallions or geldings. Banga said that is a tough class for mares as stallions and geldings are just naturally stronger. Facing 38 competitors she came out on top. Home from the event with her championships in tow, Banga said naturally she is glad she decided to go. “I am now,” she said, but quickly added it was

still not easy leaving her husband to harvest, and her eight old son Ty, who almost always goes to shows, behind because there was no one to keep an eye on him in Wisconsin. “It was long days, up at four in the morning and working until 11 at night,” she said. But that is what is required at a show attracting horses from across the United States and Canada to compete in more than 100 classes. Banga said the entire event was pressure packed with three judg-

resources and ensures First Nations and Métis content, perspectives and ways of knowing continue to be a priority within Saskatchewan classrooms. “Creating this resource supports all students in learning the true story of Canada’s history with Indigenous Peoples and shares the important perspectives that surround the making of the Treaties,” Treaty Commissioner Mary Culbertson said. “We are proud to have worked

with our First Nations Elders and educators with the assistance of the Ministry of Education to make these additional Treaty resources a reality for use in the classroom. This resource supports reconciliation and while others may be slow to the call, our team is moving forward. We have a lot of work to do and we look forward to more work with this ministry on ensuring education in our classrooms will be meaningfully enhanced.” The release of the supplemental Treaty

resource supports the Ministry of Education’s overarching vision of ensuring equitable outcomes and improved student achievement for our First Nations and Métis students. Good Spirit School Division will be receiving the resource kit. Director Quintin Robertson is hopeful the kit will compliment the division’s focus on truth and reconciliation. “I’m assuming [the kits] would dovetail with our efforts,” he said.

Niezgoda enjoys contributing to the students’ education. He encourages anyone interested in entering a similar field to be prepared to work to make the best learning environment for children. “Be ready to discuss and debate and advocate

said her husband would take time from combining the crop to video tape her practice drives so she could review and make adjustments. Familiarity helps too. “Training your own colts (helps) because a colt challenges you,” said Banga. “I train my own horses and when you’re working with colts you are constantly adjusting your driving to get the colt to respond. “Probably the most important thing when working with horses is to figure out what makes

the horse happy! “When I am driving a horse as soon as it’s not enjoying its job I stop and adjust the harness or bridle and figure out how to make it comfortable. They have to love their job. If they don’t love driving there is no point forcing them to do it. “I have also learned to appreciate where the horse is at. For example, Fancy does not have the stamina to drive everyday whereas Reba has to drive every day or she starts misbehaving. So I drive Fancy every third day and Reba every day.”

This vision is supported by the ministry’s policy called Inspiring Success: First Nations and Métis PreK12 Education Policy Framework. Inspiring Success has also recently been renewed by the Ministry of Education and educational stakeholders, including First Nations and Métis organizations. The policy, that was initiated in 2009, acts as an overarching framework that guides the development of First Nations and Métis edu-

cation plans provincially and at the school division level. A gathering was held this fall to celebrate more than two years of collaboration and the contributions of more than a dozen organizations, individuals and Elders who participated in the renewal of this overarching policy that guides the development of curriculum and resources for classrooms, including Treaty resources, across the province. The Kindergarten to

Grade 9 Treaty Education Learning Resource is available in both official languages by visiting the K-9 Treaty Education Learning Resource link on the Saskatchewan curriculum website. Inspiring Success can also be viewed online at http://www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/education-and-learning/ first-nations-and-metiseducation.

Local riders excel at world show By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer

The Yorkton area was well represented at the recent 2018 World Clydesdale Show hosted in Madison, WI. in the final week of October, including Yorkton’s Twylla Newton returning with a number of championships. “This was new for me. It was my first trip to the Worlds,” said Newton. The attraction of the show was obvious, said Newton. “It’s the biggest of the big shows for Clydesdales,” she said, adding it had been an event she had wanted to attend for a few years. “I finally just swallowed real hard and took the chance.” Joining Newton on the adventure were her daughter Tayvia Newton, friend Shelby Johnston and the three Clydesdales that the trio ride. While Clydesdales

might be thought of primarily as draft horses used to pull farm equipment, wagons and carts, the big horses can make good riding horses. “It was the first year the show included a variety of riding classes,” offered Newton, adding the disciplines included dressage, English riding, barrel racing, pole bending and hunter jumper classes. “It was a showcase for the versatility of Clydesdales.” The trio of ladies made the best of the trip south entering as many classes as possible. “We entered all of the pleasure classes,” she said. That meant entering the win for 28 different classes, excelling in most. “We brought home top-10 in 24 classes,” said Newton, adding the classes all had a minimum of 20 entries, “and some of the classes had over 40.” In Newton’s personal case she also took the

might seem unusual that a Clydesdale could cut the barrels, but added

they do it quite well. “It’s super how they move out. They have a big stride. They can cover some ground,” she said. As for the lengthy list of reserves in varied classes all with the same 10-year-old horse, Newton said the key was her basic focus on training hardest in dressage. “It’s my main discipline. It’s where I spend most of my time training,” she said, adding that dressage basically builds the foundation for any other riding. If a horse and rider can excel at dressage “they are able to excel in other disciplines.” However, if a rider wants to ride in different disciplines, why chose a draft horse? “I’ve worked with a variety of breeds of horses,” offered Newton, noting that has included quarter horses, Arabian and mixed breeds. “But, I had always wanted a draft horse.” Continued on Page A6

Veteran of world show heads south again By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Delvin Szumutku has raised Clydesdale horses for years near Stockholm. Through those years he has been an avid supporter of the breed, so when a World Show for Clydesales was launched in Madison, WI. in 2007, he loaded up some horses and took in the show. Szumutku was at the show again in 2011, and again in 2015 when the show was hosted in Ontario. So it’s no surprise Szumutku was back in Madison at the end of October as the fourth annual edition of the world event was held. “I took down three, all three were ones that we had raised,” he said. Szumutku was also quick to note four other mares he had raised were at the World Show being exhibited by their

new owners. “That is what we do, we breed horses to sell. To me that’s what it’s all about,” he said, adding he takes a lot of pride in seeing animals he has sold go on to be good enough to take to a major event like the one in Madison. “… That’s what I call achievement.” Szumutku said his mares did well, adding at a show the scale of the world show the goal “is to make the cut.” The classes are so large they are typically broken into smaller groups with judges asking the best to come back for the final 10. “You want to make the cut, be in the top-10 and get into the final drive,” he said. One of Szumutku’s mares finished fourth in a class where four of the top-five were entries from Canada, three being from the Prairies. “So Western Canada

Szumutku’s mares also ended up in harness at

Madison. “Two mares I took

down I leased out to Greenwood Farms,” he said, adding the pair were used to complete a six-horse hitch that took home to top-10 finishes. While not earning a championship, Szumutku is happy with his finishes, noting the mares were only four years old and green in terms of show experience. “They’d never been in a show ring, never been off the farm,” he said. The strong performance, especially by the best of the trio has Szumutku smiling. “She’ll get nothing but better,” he said, adding he did have to fend off a number of suitors offering to buy the two hitch mares. “We had numerous offers,” he said, adding the leasee had wanted to simply buy the two mares. “I told them I was bringing them home.” Continued on Page A6

Current success sets eyes on 2021 By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The World Clydesdale Show was a bittersweet situation for Wynyard area Clydesdale producer Neil Campbell. “I sent four mares down,” he explained,

the horses making the trip to Madison Wisconsin with Boulder Bluff Clydesdales from Manitoba. For Campbell it was the second time to send horses to the world show, the first time six years ago, but unlike the first

time his horses went south, Campbell did not go with them to see how they did in the show ring. “I stayed home and combined,” he said, adding the major farm enterprise for he and his sons is the grain side of things. Campbell said not

being at the show was disappointing. “It’s frustrating because I raised the mares myself,” he said, adding that connection really made him want to be on-hand when they were shown. “It took a bit of the pleasure out of it

when I couldn’t be there myself.” But at least the harvest did get wrapped up as his horses were in Wisconsin. “It was a very difficult harvest,” said Campbell, noting they started on Aug. 23, and finally

wrapped up Oct. 27. “There was a nine week stretch we didn’t do any combining at all.” Campbell said he has always left the training and showing of his Clydesdales to others simply based on not Continued on Page A6

Murray Mandryk is a political columnist with the Leader Post

Politics When you think about it, the Saskatchewan Party should be “Standing up for Saskatchewan”. After all, the reason for their very existence is pretty much spelled out in their name. Of course, the NDP have always taken umbrage with the fact that the conservativebased party chose to title itself after the province. But this is a rather conservative province … or at least, it’s been more conservative than not. Since the 20-year, post-Depression, postSecond-World War run of Tommy Douglas’s CCF — a different political party for a different era — ended in 1964, Saskatchewan has seen more days with non-NDP governments than with NDP governments. And should current opinion polls showing the Sask. Party substantially ahead hold up until the 2020 vote, the Sask. Party will have a run of majority governments in Saskatchewan only exceeded by the Douglas government. Moreover, it’s now been 30 years since Saskatchewan has sent a majority of NDP MPs to Ottawa. Since 2000, this province has only elected three NDP MPs. Standing up for Saskatchewan and it’s rather conservative outlook should be a natural thing for Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe. So one can only wonder why Moe feels the need to stand up for Saskatchewan alongside Ontario Premier Doug Ford. Admittedly, one would normally expect the Saskatchewan Premier to seek out political allies — especially given that this province was standing alone in its opposition to the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s carbon tax for a considerable time. As Moe pointed out after returning from his second press conference with Ford in two weeks, Ford was elected with a solid majority earlier this year to fight the carbon tax. But there’s another of way of looking at this — especially in the context of what’s worked well for the Sask. Party in its long run in office and what it needs to avoid. As you well know, the Sask. Party was formed as a coalition of Progressive Conservatives, Reformers and Liberals as a means of ending the vote split by parties in Saskatchewan right of the NDP. (Really, old Liberals and Progressive Conservatives splitting the vote in this province was the biggest reason why the runs of the CCF-NDP Douglas, Allan Blakeney and Roy Romanow-Lorne Calvert governments were extended as long as they were.) As such, it would seem advisable for the Sask. Party to stay on that coalition track and focus on its successful Saskatchewan-first approach. That clearly worked well in former premier Brad Wall’s 2010 national campaign that lobbied the Conservative government stop the BHP Billiton takeover of PotashCorp. Certainly, one can argue that Moe is still doing the same thing in his “Standing up for Saskatchewan” campaign — the theme of the throne speech that was all about the carbon tax fight. But if you are making a solid argument that this carbon tax fight is all about what’s good for Saskatchewan people and not just a political fight with Trudeau to the benefit Andrew Scheer’s federal Conservatives, there is a better way to go about than simply aligning yourself with Doug Ford. While Ford did defeat what seemed to be a very bad Ontario Liberal government under Kathleen Wynne, he also came to office with substantial political baggage of his own. And Moe’s strategist might also be a little wary of attaching the Sask. Party to a new Ontario government already running into its fair share of problems because of controversial policies. Maybe it can be argued that Moe can’t fight this carbon tax alone. But recruiting economists and even environmentalist (some of who say the carbon tax won’t work) would be more productive for Moe. Opposition to the carbon tax has to be about what’s good for Saskatchewan — not what’s good for conservatives. Murray Mandryk has been covering provincial politics for over 22 years.

Remember the past for our future A

t times we seem to be at a point in our collective history when the world could easily teeter into complete chaos. The political situation in the United States at present is volatile at best. The presidency itself under Donald Trump is a lightning rod for discontent as he rails against his critics, denigrating opposing viewpoints with reckless abandon. With Trump at the helm there is a fear the domestic political situation in the U.S. is a powder keg which could explode. And that has massive implications as the U.S., in-part through economic influence and in-part its military, has been a stabilizing influence on the world stage on the side of democracies. Should its own democracy degrade under Trump, a possibility that seems all too real, the American influence could crack on the international stage. Under Trump the reputation is certainly more tarnished than it has been in decades. Without the U.S. keeping the balance the potential for out breaks of serious military confrontations seems nearer than it has been in years, fired by growing racial and religious distrust around the world. And that begs the question; how did we allow our world to devolve to such a point? The question is made all the more poignant as we sit on the eve of

Remembrance Day and the 100th anniversary of the armistice that brought the First World War to an end Nov. 11, 1918. The total number of military and civilian casualties in the First World War I was about 40 million: estimates range from 15 to 19 million deaths and about 23 million wounded military personnel, according to online sources. Let that soak in for a minute. That is more casualties in a conflict 100-years ago than there are currently people in Canada. The death and devastation should have been enough to stop us from ever going down the path of war again, yet the Second World War would be just a couple of decades away. And more conflicts have continued in the decades following the second great war, but we had seemed to have arrived at a time of greater sanity in the world. The USSR broke apart, the Berlin Wall crumbled and a brighter future was being hinted at. But somehow that has evaporated and old prejudices and fears have the world on edge. We need to crawl back from the precipice. We need to rededicate ourselves to making sure the sacrifices of those we remember Nov. 11, were not wasted. We need to remember they died by the thousands so our future could be one without conflict. Remember our past this Sunday so that we do not repeat it.

SaskPower to buy more renewable electricity SaskPower has signed a new term sheet with Manitoba Hydro that lays the groundwork for purchasing an additional 215 megawatts (MW) of reliable renewable electricity available for Saskatchewan customers. “This clean, hydroelectric power represents a significant step forward when it comes to reaching our goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40 per cent by 2030. It’s also reli-

able baseload electricity, which we’ll need as we add more intermittent generation options like wind and solar,” said Mike Marsh, President and CEO of SaskPower. “Manitoba Hydro has been a valued neighbour and business partner over the years and this is a demonstration of that relationship. We look forward to seeing this through and continuing our work together.” The term sheet lays out the framework for a

power purchase agreement where SaskPower will buy 190 MW of capacity from Manitoba Hydro, with an option to purchase an additional 25 MW. A final legal contract for the sale is expected to be concluded by mid2019 and in effect by 2022. The purchase agreement would last up to 30 years, allowing SaskPower to acquire hydro generation at a competitive cost when compared with other generation options. The exact financial terms

OPEN Cinema honours Remembrance Week The Yorkton Film Festival is proud to announce that our next OPEN Cinema installment will mark Remembrance Week. “Each year around November, we always try to do a film that highlights Canada’s soldiers and the sacrifices they have made,” said YFF Executive Director Randy Goulden. “Yorkton has a tremendous community of those interested in history, so we tend to focus on films that highlight Canada’s involvement in World War II.”

For the Remembrance Week OPEN Cinema, we will be screening “Why Vimy Matters”. This short segment produced for The National explores the battle of Vimy Ridge and its impact on Canada as a result. It explores the immediate importance of the battle and the lasting impact that it has had on Canadians a hundred years later. Former and current History Teachers Steve Variyan and Perry Ostapowich will serve as our speakers following the film screening.

This screening will also continue our OPEN Cinema Passport program. Collect four out of the six possible screening stickers to have your passport be eligible to win two tickets to the 2019 Lobsterfest event at the Yorkton Film Festival! OPEN Cinema is presented 100% free of charge and open to the public. The Remembrance Week screening will take place on Tuesday, November 13 at 7:00 p.m. at the Yorkton Public Library.

Strongest job growth in Saskatchewan in four years Statistics Canada reported today that in October Saskatchewan’s year-over-year employment increased by 9,400 jobs. This is the largest gain in jobs for the province since October 2014. Full-time employment increased by 5,700 jobs and part-time employment increased by 3,700 jobs compared to a year ago. On a monthly basis, seasonally adjusted employment increased by 2,500 jobs from September 2018. “These job numbers are unequivocally positive news for our provincial economy,” Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “Saskatchewan job creators are showing confi-

dence in our province in spite of the headwinds our economy faces in the areas of transportation, trade and the threat of a federally imposed carbon tax. We will continue to promote our province and the goods produced and manufactured by our residents to new and existing trade markets in order to create jobs and opportunity for Saskatchewan people right here at home.” October’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 6.2 per cent, down from 6.4 per cent in September. Other October highlights include: • Major year-over-year gains were reported for educational services up 5,900 jobs; health care

of the agreement are confidential. “We’re extremely pleased to be able to announce that we’ve agreed to a term sheet for this significant new longterm sale to SaskPower,” said Kelvin Shepherd, president and CEO of Manitoba Hydro. “We anticipate a final legal contract for the sale will be concluded in the next few months. The energy we will be providing

to SaskPower is clean, renewable hydroelectricity currently surplus to the needs of Manitobans. This sale is a great example of two utilities working together to use Manitoba’s reliable hydroelectric resources to help SaskPower expand and diversify its renewable energy supply.” SaskPower has two existing power purchase agreements with

Manitoba Hydro. In 2015, SaskPower signed a 25 MW agreement that lasts until 2022. A 20-year agreement for 100 MW was signed in 2016 and comes into effect in 2020. This clean and renewable supply of electricity will help to meet a growing demand for power in Saskatchewan, and also help to diversify SaskPower’s supply mix over the long-term

History Corner First World War Veteran - Brigadier General Alexander Ross Born December 2, 1880 in Forest, Scotland, Alexander Ross came with his parents to Regina in 1886, which was then in the North West Territories. After completing senior matriculation he studied law at the firm of James Balfour and was admitted to the Bar of the North West Territories at age 21. He took up a practice in Regina, soon attaining a leading place as agent of the Attorney General for the Judicial District of Regina in 1906. He married Harriett Beatrice Scott from Ontario in 1909. He was made a King’s Counsel in 1914 and had even started a military career before World War One began when he joined the 28th Northwest Battalion becoming Captain and Company Commander. On the formation of the 95th Saskatchewan Rifles he was commissioned as a lieutenant. He served in France from September, 1915, as a major. He became a colonel in 1916 at the battle of the Somme, served at Vimy Ridge in 1917 and in 1918 he became Brigadier General. On demobilization he commanded Military District No. 12 until September 1, 1920. In 1921, he and his wife moved to Yorkton, when he was appointed a Judge of the District Court of the Judicial District of Yorkton. In 1925, when Field Marshall Earl Haig came to Canada to organize the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League, Judge Ross

worked with him in this task. He became president of the Yorkton Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion #77 from 1926 to 1930 and Dominion president from 1934 to 1938. During the second World War he served first as a chairman and later as president of the Canadian Legion War Service. He and his wife were also very involved in Holy Trinity Anglican Church with Alexander becoming chancellor of the Anglican diocese of Qu’Appelle. Brigadier General Alexander Ross, C.M.G., D.S.C. received an Honorary Degree at a Convocation of May 13, 1955, at the University of Saskatchewan for contributions to public service; community service; and military service. General Ross died at age 92 on October 14, 1973, and was interred in the Yorkton Cemetery with full military honours; the 64th Battery firing an 11-gun salute. At the time, W.H. Morrison, representing the Yorkton-Melville-Wynyard Bar Association, said General Ross was a most distinguished jurist, whose name ranked with the other distinguished names of other jurists in the province.

VETERAN Continued from Page A3 While Szumutku said he typically breeds to sell the two were too good to let go. “When the two were born … I said I was going to hide them and keep them,” he said. The pair are perfectly matched, and two young-

er mares that stayed at home make a perfectly matched set of four. The prospect of four home bred mares as a perfectly matched hitch looms on the horizon, and the next world show is scheduled for Brandon in 2021. “If I’m still alive I’d sure like to (show the

hitch),” said Szumutku. Of course when Szumutku says about being still alive, he is aware life can take some massive turns. While attending the World Show in 2011 he suffered a major heart attack. It was then Szumutku said he came to really

appreciate the family that is the Clydesdale business. At the most recent event he was asked to speak on the ‘family’ aspect at the banquet in front of 2600. While it took him more than a month to agree to give the speech he finally said yes.

“Just to be asked to do it was pretty special,” said Szumutku. Szumutku’s speech struck a chord with many in attendance. “A lot of people came up and complimented me on it,” he said, adding one in particular stood

out for him. A Vietnam veteran wheeled over in his wheelchair. “He came over and shook my hand … saying he had never experienced that sense of comradeship other than with the guys he fought with. “That probably meant the most to me.”

2021 Continued from Page A3 having the time to properly do it himself. “I don’t have the skill, or the time to do justice to it,” he said, adding he focuses on “foaling out the mares” then hands the best show prospects to his friends in Manitoba who work with the animals to get them ready for the ring. They also take them to various shows, this year including the one in Madison. It is a process that has worked well in the 12 years

Campbell has raised Clydesdales after purchasing his first mares from the late Greg Gallagher of Canora. As for Madison, Campbell said considering his mares were young, he is quite satisfied with the results. Two were shown in halter classes finishing seventh and eighth in classes of 16 and 15 respectively. “They were in the middle of the classes. I’m very pleased with that in that kind of competition,” he said.

RIDERS Continued from Page A3 When Newton came to purchase her first draft horse a Clydesdale was available and that is how she came to the breed.

Since then she has come to love the big horses. “They really do like working for you. They try their hearts out,” she said. “No matter what you ask they give you 110 per

cent.” That effort from the big horses certainly showed in Wisconsin, making the entire trip memorable for Newton. “We worked really hard in

The four mares were also driven in a number of hitch classes, again staying in the middle of the pack. “I’m very, very pleased. These mares are only three and four years old,” he said. Being such young stock the mares will be in their prime in three years when the world event is next held, scheduled for Brandon, MB. “You start making some tentative plans already,” said Campbell.

preparing to go, and it ended up being a pretty amazing experience,” she said. The next World Show will be in three years. It will be hosted in Brandon, MB. in July 2021.

Snow Route Parking Bans Information Winter will soon be upon us so here is some information about the Snow Route Parking Ban system in the City. The City has two designated snow removal route areas, Blue Routes which include the downtown business district, and Red Routes which include the main arterial streets throughout the city. When there are no vehicles in the parking lanes on these key routes, snow clearing from curb to curb is more efficient. When in effect, Parking Ban Notifications will be available on the home page of Yorkton.ca, the City Facebook Page at www.facebook.com/TheCityofYorkton, and on local radio. Residents may also call Public Works at 306-786-1760.

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

Uncertainty over carbon tax - Part II As noted last week there are concerns over the new federal carbon tax within the farm sector. Grain farmers are already asking the Government to provide additional relief from the Federal carbon pollution backstop given the impact it will have on their ability to compete in markets at home and around the world. “The carbon price will add costs to farm inputs and to transporting our grains to market making it more expensive to be a grain farmer in Canada compared to our key competitors around

the world,” said Jeff Nielsen, Grain Growers of Canada President in a release. “Providing additional relief will not impact growers’ commitments to reducing GHG emissions. Growers are already doing that, and they will continue to work hard to grow more, with less.” If fuel prices rise, users will be forking out more cash when they fill their fuel tank whether it is a sales clerk in a department store filling their car, or a farmer buying fuel for their grain truck. How will the suggested rebates work in covering the full new

Agriculture THIS WEEK

Calvin Daniels costs people face? That is certainly an area of uncertainty. So will the carbon tax ultimately have a positive effect? The primary purpose of carbon tax is to lower greenhouse-gas emissions, which as they increase it will raise

temperatures, affecting things such as the melt rate of the ice caps, and the growing conditions for grains and oilseeds in various areas of the world. In general terms a carbon tax charges a fee on fossil fuels based on how much carbon they

emit when burned. In order to reduce the fees, utilities, business and individuals attempt to use less energy derived from fossil fuels. It is a worthwhile effort when you consider the potential impact of temperature change, particularly on farming. However, there is a question whether Canada’s efforts can have any impact when countries such as the United States, especially under an anti-science leader such as Donald Trump have no plans to change things? The uncertainty of the details regarding the Canadian plan, set

against the broader question of its global impact, are enough to make people at best cautious, if not outright fearful. However, change seems to inevitably be needed to address the impact of emissions on climate, and Canada could be a leader in that process. There is much speculation that it will increase costs, and that does seem to be a reasonable expectation, at least in terms of upfront costs. Calvin Daniels is Editor with Yorkton This Week.

Public hearings will look into merits of hemp The Farm Products Council of Canada (FPCC), formally announced on October 13, that it is beginning the public hearing process to evaluate the merits of a hemp Promotion and Research Agency (PRA). “This is great news for Canadian hemp growers;” stated Don Dewar of Dauphin, Manitoba who chaired the producer committee that developed the application to establish the hemp PRA. “We started developing the application in the spring of 2017 and submitted the application to the Farm Products Council last October, so were glad to see FPCC moving forward with the review. Our view has always

been that a hemp PRA will allow Canadian hemp growers to become a better partner with industry, researchers, provincial and national governments in the identification and delivery of strategic research and promotional programs that will strengthen and grow the Canadian hemp industry;” added Dewar. Unlike provincial commissions or boards which fall under provincial legislation, a PRA falls under the Federal Farm Products Agency Act and it’s the Farm Products Council role to evaluate the merits of an application and make recommendations to the Minister of Agriculture on whether an application should be sup-

ported by the Federal Government. Hemp producers evaluated various options to establish a national organization to collect levy’s on production of hemp products and decided the PRA was the best approach. A hemp PRA would give hemp producers an organization that has national scope and allow for efficiencies in the governance of the organization. “We see significant opportunities for growth;” added Larry Marshall an organic hemp grower from Shellbrook, Saskatchewan. “Our traditional seed market is continuing to grow and there is a lot more interest in hemp fibre,”

adds Larry. Also, Health Canada’s decision to allow whole plant harvest of industrial hemp for the 2018 crop creates significant new opportunities. “This permission from Health Canada will allow hemp producers to use the 2018 crop to learn more about harvesting, drying and storing whole plant material,” explains Jason Green, head of agriculture for Canopy Growth. “This is an exciting time to be in the hemp business, but like any industry hemp requires investment to reach its full potential;” added Dewar. “A hemp PRA would provide a legal framework to stimulate investment and govern-

ance structure to ensure hemp producers have a strong voice in the ongoing development of the hemp industry.” The hemp producer committee encourages interested producers to review the hemp PRA application on the Farm

Products Council of Canada web site. For more information contact: Don Dewar – Chair of the producer committee 204-648-4649 Larry Marshall – Producer committee member 306-747-7430

Car buying advice for parents of teenagers Teens are getting their licenses for the first time, and when that happens they will inevitably want a car to drive. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently released their list of recommended cars for teens. It is insane. The cars included arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bad, in fact theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re often quite nice, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also not cars that make sense for teens. A 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe, for example, is a great car for people with a couple children, which typically does not describe a 16-year-old. The list has three minivans; no teenager wants to drive a minivan. There is a Lincoln MKZ, for the teen who is somehow already a retired accountant, or the BMW 2-Series, for the teen whose parents donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like them very much so they want them to crash backwards into a tree. Every car on the list looks

like something parents, or even grandparents, would drive, not teenagers. Now, there is some good advice in there namely, kids should be driving something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low on power so they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get themselves in too much trouble. They also put a priority on modern safety equipment, which I respect, because safety is always a worry for parents. So your kid just got their license and you want them in the safest vehicle possible. What should you buy? Nothing. No really, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy them a car. If you want them in the safest vehicle possible, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your car. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re paranoid about the safety of your children, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already done that research and bought something extremely safe already.

DEVIN WILGER

Thinking I do with words... Plus, since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your car, you control when and where they drive it, and they know that if they screw up they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to drive it anymore. The safest car for a teen is being forced to borrow their parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; car. What if you believe they are responsible enough for their own wheels? Same answer; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy them anything. If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re responsible enough to own their own car, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re responsible enough to save their

Second life for old books By Sean Mott Staff Writer Usually the Yorkton library frowns on people tearing, cutting, and slicing up books. Luckily for the people who participated in the Upcycle event over the weekend, they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get in trouble for chopping and changing several novels, com-

ics, and encyclopedias. The Yorkton Arts Council and the Yorkton library hosted the Upcycle event on Nov. 3. The event allows participants to turn old and neglected books into art pieces. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance to give forgotten novels a second life while people flex their creative muscles.

Participants made a variety of Christmasthemed creations during the three-hour event. People turned pages and covers into stars, decorated trees, and miniature villages.

money and buy it on their own, or convince a relative to sell them one of their cars for a heavy discount. If they buy their own car, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sense of ownership and pride that comes from it being something they saved up to buy. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to

make them less likely to do something very stupid with it, because they spent a lot of time and effort to get that car, instead of just getting it as a gift. Give them help and advice through the process, but they buy it. Of course, parents should probably find a way to ensure that the kids buy a car that is not particularly powerful, because most kids that are new to driving shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be behind the wheel of something too fast. But if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saving up from a summer job they will likely have a limited budget anyway,

and power costs money. When I was a teen, I drove my parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vehicles until I got a superb deal on my sister-in-lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old Honda Civic. I certainly did some stupid things in that time, but all kids do that when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re learning to drive, and I was never going fast enough to do real damage. What I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do was try to drive a gift Plymouth Sundance up some sand dunes, ripping the front bumper off. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the difference, I earned my rides so my risks were much less stupid than the people who were given theirs.

Her husband, Merv, died after having an illness for four years. “He was my world.” In dealing with her grief and working through the loss of her husband, Guillemin learned many life lessons as she went through her journey. In doing so, she realized that she could help others who are going through a similar loss. The local author’s new book, Beyond Shattered Dreams, is meant to help people by telling them her story. Relying on her husband for many years, Guillemin had to do things on her own for the first time, tasks that intimidated her like driving in the city on her own. But she worked through them, and in doing so did

things she would have never done before, such as going to Colorado on her own to get a Death and Grief Studies certificate, and learning how to do Angel Card readings. “When I look at those scary steps I’ve taken... I’ve gone so many miles one scary step at a time.” After Merv died, Guillemin began to get interested in mediums, and she eventually went to one three months after. That person told Guillemin that she would eventually write a book, something Guillemin didn’t believe at the time. “She said the only one who is going to stop you, is you... Then I realized, I stopped myself all through my life.” Writing a book was a natural step, because writing a journal was one of the ways that Guillemin worked to deal with her grief. Guillemin believes

people need to talk about grief more, and through public speaking and her book, she hopes she will be able to get people to talk about grief more, especially as it’s inevitable that people will lose someone important to them in their life. “We as a society don’t handle grief very well. We think people are doing well if they keep it hidden. One thing I’ve learned is to embrace my grief... It’s really important to allow yourself to feel whatever it is you’re feeling.” While grief is a common experience, Guillemin emphasizes that everyone deals with it differently and she can’t tell people how they’re supposed to feel in the situation. She believes telling people her experience is valuable, because it can still help. “It’s not telling people

how they feel, but telling them my story, and how it made me feel... It’s really important for people to be able to tell their story without judgement... There’s no right way or wrong way, it’s just surviving.” People having difficulty dealing with grief not only applies to people going through it, but also friends and family. “When people came to visit me, they were afraid to mention Merv’s name, while I just craved to hear Merv’s words. In my experience, when I went through my grief, all I wanted to do was talk about my loved one,” said Guillemin. As she continues on her path, she admits it’s still hard to be on her own, but she’s grateful that she has been able to turn it into an empowering journey. “Merv gave so much to me, it was hard losing him, but I understand

Gaylene Guillemin with her book. that I had to learn to spread my wings and fly.” Guillemin will be at

Coles in the Parkland Mall on Nov. 16 for a book signing.

Provincial archives Tamashiro launches final concert ushers in video in the first revitalized theatre world war series The Provincial Archives of Saskatchewan is pleased to announce the launch of its video “Amiens, Armistice and Aftermath”, the fifth and final video in the From the Prairies to the Trenches video series. All five videos will be screened at an event co-hosted by the Provincial Archives and the Provincial Capital Commission at the MacKenzie Art Gallery, Shumiatcher Theatre, in Regina Nov. 7. “As we commemorate the Armistice that ended the First World War, we have the opportunity to reflect on the importance of archives in preserving historical records for current and future generations,” Minister Responsible for the Provincial Archives Ken Cheveldayoff said. “Archives capture events, stories, voices and images to connect citizens with their past in a very

real way.” The video series examines the Saskatchewan experience at home and abroad during the First World War, in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the War. Materials from a vast collection of archival sources were selected to tell the stories of soldiers, nurses, politicians, farmers, and women’s groups in Saskatchewan communities and on the battlefields of the First World War. “The Archives is proud to present these videos in tribute to the many men, women and families that together defined the Saskatchewan experience,” Provincial Archivist Lynda McIntyre said. “We hope that the videos will be enjoyed and used in educational programming for years to come.” The first four vid-

eos are currently available in English on the Provincial Archives’ YouTube channel, which is accessible through its web site at www.saskarchives.com. They may also be viewed at Government House in Regina and at the Western Development Museum in Saskatoon. Through a major initiative with RadioCanada, La Cité at the University of Regina and the Société historique de la Saskatchewan, the videos were remastered to provide French narration and voices. The French versions of the first four videos are available on Radio-Canada’s web site at https:// ici.radio-canada.ca/ nouvelle/1126093/premiere-guerre-francais-archives-saskatchewan. The fifth video will be available at all sites following the launch.

Tim Tamashiro serenaded the Yorkton audience with classic songs such as “That’s Amore.” By Sean Mott Staff Writer “How do your butts feel in those new seats?” asked Tim Tamashiro as he walked onto the Anne Portnuff stage last Sunday. Tamashiro ushered in the revamped Yorkton Regional High School theatre on Nov. 5 as he put on his “When You’re Smiling” show for a receptive audience.

The crowd laughed and sang along with Tamashiro’s performance. Tamashiro’s concert broke in the fully revitalized Anne Portnuff theatre. In the last two years, the space has received new carpeting, new sound systems, new lighting, new curtains, and, finally, new seats. The total project cost over $300,000.

A story of flowers and remembrance As I was doing some research for a Remembrance Day project, I came across a story that I wanted to tell you about. Make a cup of tea and get a tissue and sit down with me for a few minutes. Once upon a time there was a young Canadian soldier named George Stephen Cantlie, a brave soldier in WW1. When he would write home to his family in Montreal, in each letter he would enclose a pressed flower that he found growing in the battle field or roadside of France as a little gift to his baby daughter, just in case he might not make it home. This story inspired a film-maker named Viveka Melki to create an artistic exhibition called “War Flowers”, which focuses on the letters and the flowers, which were carefully saved for one hundred years by George’s family, plus stories of ten Canadians involved in the war. As an added dimension, even scents are included in the exhibit to further enhance memories. This amazing exhibition has been on display in Ottawa and also in Vimy, France. It is meant to show that there is beauty even in the darkest moments. Visit https:// warflowers.ca to read the whole story. It’s a wonderful, heartfelt project; I wish we could all see it! An article about this exhibition from the Legion magazine in 2017 said that George loved flowers, and between his duties would pick flowers when he saw them and press them in a book, then send them home. Isn’t that touching and beautiful? To me, this idea extends to how we have special plants in our garden, plants given to us by family or friends, and which hold an extra special memory after they are gone. The poppies of Flanders… the oaks of Vimy… the hundreds of thousands of tulips of gratitude, gifted by the Netherlands, that

DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

Gardener’s Notebook bloom every spring in Ottawa… the forgetme-nots worn on July 1 in Newfoundland and Labrador in memory of the battle of the Somme… all living botanical remembrances of the lives and deaths of so many brave soldiers. Let’s make a pledge, gardeners, to have at least one flower in a vase on our kitchen table for Remembrance Day. We’ve talked about this before: that we can have just one bloom in a vase, doesn’t have to be a fancy arrangement, but a bloom to inspire and refresh our eyes and our souls. This Remembrance Day bloom, whatever it may be, will make us pause and think. The brave men and women who fought in the wars deserve our respect and remembrance. Not all of them came home. Could we be as brave? Since we’re chatting about Remembrance Day, try to be at the Yorkton Public Library on Nov. 13, 7 p.m., for the Yorkton Film Festival Open Cinema. A film called “Searching for Vimy’s Lost Soldiers” will be shown, telling the

story of CA40, a group of Canadian soldiers who fought at Vimy, and 44 soldiers who were never recovered after the battle. Military historian Norm Christie believes he knows where the missing men of CA40 are, and this film highlights his search for Vimy’s lost soldiers. The film is free and all are welcome. The next meeting of the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society is our “members and invited guests only” AGM. It marks the end of the gardener’s year for us, and is the time we look ahead and will soon start making plans for next year’s interesting program! Visit us at www.yorktonhort.ca to see what’s coming up! And I know you are wondering, as I was, whether George Stephen Cantlie made it home. Yes, he did, and died in 1956 in Montreal. He was able to see his baby girl grow up! Have a good week, wear a poppy, and have one special bloom on your kitchen table on Nov. 11: a gardener’s tribute to our soldiers, with profound thanks.

It began simply enough. Just one of those things parents do to support their kids. In 1991, we’d barely moved to Saskatchewan from Ontario, and our son decided to sign up for Sea Cadets. The Preacher and I went to a few Branch (parent) meetings, but he never stopped. Next thing I knew, they sat side by side at the kitchen table polishing two pairs of military boots. Rubbing with the yellow cloth and black wax till they could

see their faces in the leather. Anthony didn’t seem to mind when his Dad became a civilian officer, then, two years later a commissioned officer. Rick and Shawn Stoneham, another officer, flipped positions every few years, as per protocol, between Administration and Commanding Officers. Sometimes the Preacher handed out trophies at yearly inspection. Taught classes. Marched down the lines

where Tony stood with his friends, pole still, at attention. Impeccable in their dark uniforms and white hats. Waiting their turn to be inspected.

I sewed on badges until my fingers bled. Became familiar with the jargon. Bos’n and Cox’n and Petty Officers First and Second class. Swab the deck and tidy the galley; aye, aye and adrift. And all that in a school gymnasium on our landlocked prairie. Not a boat or sea in sight. In summer, the Cadets sailed Lasers at York Lake. I did too, once. I always wished I could fly, and that day, I did. I remember a frigid Remembrance Day when

Anthony served as sentry at one corner of the Yorkton cenotaph. Poppy aflame, he stood, head bowed, hands on the butt of his rifle. He never raised a finger to catch the drip poised on the tip of his nose, reflecting the pallid morning sun. He looked like a soldier and I shivered. Our boy aged out at eighteen, eventually packing up his memories, leaving home and trophies behind. The Preacher stayed on, working with a few other faithful officers, taking turns at all the jobs to keep the corps alive. When the Corps closed a few years ago, Military Cadets in the next city wanted the Preacher, naval uniform and all. He transferred over. At sixty-five, he accepted a chrome watch engraved with his name and dates of service as a commis-

sioned officer: Nov 26, 1995 – February 10, 2018. Then he donned civvies and the next week backed down the steep steps with his walker, back to his little downstairs office at the Melville Legion, to keep those Army Cadets properly administered. Life is made up of strings of doings. Parades of weeks and years, passels of pleasures and tasks. Some don’t matter for eternity. Many do. Gathering with other believers helps us stay strong in faith. Soldiers for Jesus, united in the spiritual battle against the enemy of our souls. That matters. And in a way only God knows, for hundreds of young people brushing shoulders with a strong believer who lived out Jesus’ love for them, I believe those weeks and years of Cadets matter too.

“Man, when you write your last column, you should just type out all the lyrics to Wonderwall.” My friend in radio told me that two months after I moved to Yorkton. Like most people in the radio business, he’s obsessed with music memes, and there’s no music meme more ironically lauded and genuinely despised than Wonderwall.

There may be no band that threaded the needle finer between indie music cred and banal sellouts than Oasis. And none of their songs typify that thin line better than Wonderwall. The 90s Britpop band had countless hits in their heyday, but none were more overplayed, ubiquitous, and monstrous than Wonderwall. It wasn’t a

SEAN MOTT

Settling in... song; it was a force. Naturally, as all pop

culture behemoths do, it became a meme. Images and videos of people playing Wonderwall on acoustic guitars or (heaven help us) ukuleles became shorthand for music hackery and unearned pretension. So you can see why my friend suggested I copypaste the Wonderwall lyrics for my final column. It’s a non-joke, something so inherently unfunny it becomes funny. I laughed at the idea at the time, not really thinking I’d do it for my last column. Well, I’m here: My final column. Rest assured, I won’t be typing out every miserable lyric of that 90s abomination. Honestly, I didn’t know what I would write for the longest time. I’ve sketched out half a dozen different ideas, none of them satisfactory. At this point I’m just shooting

from the hip. Let’s hope it goes somewhere. I’m terrible at goodbyes. I never know what to say. It’s hard to sum up all those complex emotions in a few words. All too often, they feel cheap. I should explain myself. Today I am unemployed. Nov. 6, 2018, was my final day at Yorkton This Week. I’ve cleaned out my desk, sorted through my photos, and turned in my office key. I’m not just leaving the paper; I’m leaving the paper. I’ve accepted a new job in Kelowna, B.C. I’m moving there this Saturday. When I moved to Saskatchewan 16 months ago, I had no idea what to expect. I was a coastal boy leaving home for the first time. I’d spent the last four years studying journalism at University of King’s College. I didn’t know what I was in for. Working at a weekly paper has been...well, it’s hard to describe. Most movies and television make journalism look either exceedingly glamourous or depressingly seedy. You’re either the prince or the pauper. The truth, as always, is in the middle. I’ve spent count-

less late nights and early mornings writing and researching stories. I’ve driven through snow drifts for a single photo. I’ve wandered into remote farms and deserted roads. I’ve also met interesting people and seen incredible things. No two days were the same. It’s been a ride. When I moved to Saskatchewan, I was (barely) prepared for the flatlands and harsh winters. But I never expected to meet such incredible people. I’ve made truly exceptional friends here, which makes this move even harder. Change is inevitable. You can fight it, scream at it, but you can’t stop it. Life keeps moving on. At this transitional moment in my life, I’m reminded of this weirdly unifying lyric from pop-punk maestro Jeff Rosenstock: “Stale regrets are a waste of time/We all get old together.” I want to thank my friends, my co-workers, and, of course, you, the readers. Writing for you has been a pleasure, a privilege, and an honour. Anyway, Wonderwall.

Raider Gridders season ends in semi-finals By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The playoffs are a different season. A dominant performance in regular season play is thrown out the window as the playoffs begin. The Yorkton Regional High School Raider Gridders ended their season in town against Bishop Mahoney out of Saskatoon, with a final score of 22-15. The major problem in the game for Yorkton happened in the first quarter, when quarterback Jordin Rusnack got injured. According to head coach Roby Sharpe, they had the best team in the province when Rusnack is healthy. When he’s not, Sharpe argues that they have the second best team in the province. Unfortunately they happened to be playing against the best. Bishop

Mahoney was as dominant in the Saskatoon league as YRHS was in the Moose Jaw league. The game was a match between two extremely strong teams. “He’s one of the best, if not the best quarterback in the province... There are just all different aspects of Jordin. Not only is he a phenomenal quarterback, he can pass the ball like crazy, he’s also the fourth leading rusher in the league. He’s the leading punter in the league, he’s got the most points in the league, he kicks field goals. It kind of threw us, we lose four starting positions when he goes out.” Sharpe is still proud about how the team pulled together after the injury and players who would have normally been on the sidelines stepped up. He’s happy with how back up quar-

Saskatoon dragged the Raider Gridders out of competition when they vanquished the hometown team last weekend. terback Connor Watrych performed in the game; though he’s not nearly as experienced as Rusnack and hasn’t played much this year, he kept the team in the game.

The defense played extremely well, Sharpe said, and the game was close until the end, with only a touchdown separating the two teams. Sharpe said that in spite

of the score, it was an exciting football game and a real show of the best football in the province. “Not having our star and still playing that

well, it’s a testament to how good our team really is.” The story, however, is very similar to last year, which also saw the team lose its star player in the last game, when Matthew Mandziuk was injured in the semi-finals. Sharpe said that to win championships a team needs good players and luck, and as good as the players in Yorkton are, they haven’t had any luck. “Two years in a row, we’ve been snake-bitten.” Still, after a dominant season and a league championship, there are many positives to take out of this season. The loss still stings, however, said Sharpe. “There’s lots of positives to take out of it. Unfortunately, at this moment, it’s hard to see those.”

Terriers top Ice Wolves in weekend pair By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Terriers won a pair of Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League games on the weekend. With the wins the Terriers sit with a record of 10-7-1 for 21 points and the top spot in the SJHL’s Viterra Division. The Terriers hold a one-point lead on Estevan with 20 points, while Weyburn and Melville sit tied for third with 14 points each. However, not everything went the team’s way in the last week. The Terriers may have worn special Halloween jerseys last Tuesday, but the visiting Nipawin Hawks were not scared at all. The Terriers started the scoring on a goal by Jared Legien, his 15th of the season. But the Hawks would dominate the rest of the night. Austen Flaman would score two in the first to give Nipawin a 2-1 lead at the first break. In the second Jake Tremblay and Carson Erhardt would add unanswered goals for the Hawks to extend the lead to 4-1. Zak Yewchuk and powerplay goals from Arik Breton and Jaxsen

Wiebe made it 7-1 in the third before Legien added his second of the night to make it a 7-2 final. Ben Laidlaw was in the Terrier net facing 32-shots in the loss, while Declan Hobbs had the win for Nipawin facing 26. Terrier head coach Mat Hehr was not happy with the result. “There’s no excuse for the Halloween game losing 7-2 like that,” he said in an interview with Yorkton This Week Monday. “But we did have a good response.” The response came on the road trip north, as the Terriers headed to LaRonge for a weekend set. Friday the Terriers held a 1-0 lead after the opening period on a goal by Aiden Bulych. Branden Klatt and Cole Keenleyside scored powerplay goals in the opening half of the second frame to make it 3-0. But then the hometown Ice Wolves offered some push back, with Zach Bannister scoring two, and Mitch Zambon adding one to make it 4-3 going into the third period. The third would see Keenleyside add his second of the night and

It was not a happy Halloween for Yorkton as they dropped a 7-2 decision to Nipawin, in spite of wearing special jersseys to mark the day. Chantz Petruic throwing one into an empty net to round out a 5-3 win for the Terriers. Ryan Ouellette had the win in the net for Yorkton facing 30 shots, while Dabiel Davidson was tagged with the loss for LaRonge facing 34. The teams went back at each other Saturday and the Terriers again scored first on a goal by Klatt, only 48 seconds into the contest. Antonio Di Paolo would tie the score for the Ice Wolves less than three minutes later. But Yorkton would add goals by Quinton Hobbs and Petruic to

give the visiting Terriers a 3-1 lead through 20 minutes of play. As happened a night earlier, the Ice Wolves showed push back in the second period as Zambon, and then Jake Gudjonson with a shorthanded effort tied the score 3-3. Then with 33 seconds left in the second Klatt scored his second of the night to give Yorkton a 4-3 lead after two periods. The Terriers would control the third period as Legien scored two and Colby Brandt added one to round out a 7-3 Terrier win. Ouellette was again in

net for the win facing 37 shots while Jordan Frey took the loss for LaRonge also facing 37. Hehr said the Terrier offence took over in LaRonge led by Legien, Klatt, Petruic and Bulych. In Bulych the Terriers have the SJHL’s top point getter among rookies with 24. “He really stepped it up,” said Hehr of Bulych’s effort in LaRonge, adding it is the continuation of a great season. “He just started so fast … which shows the work he put in in the summer.” The effort is drawing attention as Hehr

said college scouts are already showing interest in the young forward. By contrast Legien is 20, but is equally adept on offence, as he sits second in league scoring with 34 points, two back of Flin Flon’s Brandson Hein who has 36 but has played one more game. “Whenever he’s out on the ice there’s a chance we can get a goal,” said Hehr. After Laidlaw had a shaky outing against Nipawin Ouellette started Friday against the Ice Wolves and a steady outing earned him the start Saturday too. Hehr said his goaltending is an area he is still looking for greater consistency from. “When you look at our goals against and save percentage it’s not where I want it to be, or where they (his tandem) want it to be,” he said, adding his approach right now will be to go with the goaltender who is playing well.

The Terriers play in Humboldt Friday and then head to Wilcox to face the Notre Dame Hounds next Tuesday (Nov. 13).

Bull riding has me as fan

While I am a rather avid sports fan (you don’t subject yourself to filling a space like this without a love of the subject), my interests do skew rather hard toward team sports. If I were to list my favourite sports in order, team sports would fill the top six-to-eight slots I am sure. When I do watch individual sports, I also tend to go somewhat off the beaten path to find sports, that, for the most part, don’t garner massive interest, at least here in Canada. One sort of exception to that rule is my interest in the Professional Bull Riding (PBR) circuit. The sports organization, which highlights the premier event from the

broader range of rodeo events, was founded in 1992, so it is a young organization compared to the National Hockey League or the governing bodies of golf or tennis. But, it has also been around long enough to set down to significant roots. While we tend to think of rodeo (and that includes bull riding) as very much sports disciplines growing out of the ranching lifestyle in the United States, PBR has grown the sport to become an international one. The international aspect of PBR can be seen in a number of ways, most significantly by looking through the everchanging list of the top

CALVIN DANIELS

Sports cowboys in the sport. As I write this seven of the top 10 cowboys are from Brazil, a country which puts out amazing bull riders almost as much as they do soccer players. It is a rare PBR event where a Brazilian rider is not in the hunt for the championship. But the rider list is more international than just Brazilians. Canadians ‘play the

game’ too. Dakota Buttar from Kindersley, SK. sits 14th in world rankings, and Tanner Byrne from Prince Albert sits 28th. That is interesting when you consider Alberta is often thought of as the heartland of rodeo in Canada. Of course PBR is growing in this country too, with events held across the country now, including Yorkton with the

inaugural event here going this Friday and Saturday. This is the sort of event from which the likes of Buttar and Brynes arise to take on the top riders in the world, so it will be a great event for the city. The top level also has a spattering of Australians such as Lachlan Richardson and riders like Edgar Durazo from Mexico. The international aspect of the sport has been highlighted further with the creation of the Global Cup, launched in Edmonton in 2017, taken to Australia earlier this year, and the third edition running in Texas in February 2019. The event pits teams of riders from the top five

bull riding nations on an event where total team points win it all. Canada has finished third in the two previous cups, still besting the U.S. this year, so our riders are right there with the best in the world. That is part of the appeal of the sport, the international flavour, with Canadians legitimately in the mix to cheer for. That added to the sheer power of the bulls, and the internal fortitude it takes for riders to face the punishment of rides every weekend, and the sport is certainly worthy of watching. And to have an event here, a stepping stone to the main stage of the sport, is certainly going to be fun.

A solemn moment The Yorkton Correct Choice Vending Bantam Terriers have chosen to pay respects to the Humboldt Broncos all season long by wearing a Broncos name bar on their away jerseys. The team also began their hockey season with their hockey family paying respects to everyone who had their lives changed on Apr. 6, 2018, stopping at the accident site on their way to a game in Nipawin.

YRHS takes gold in home volleyball tourney By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The senior boys’ volleyball program at Yorkton Regional High School is in the middle of a revival. The growth in the sport at the school is shown in their results, as the team took first place in their home tournament for the first time in years. While coach Dion Pfeifer admits that the young team did have nerves to overcome as they started the tournament, over the two-day tournament they got their game together and took on some of the best teams in the province in the ten team tournament. After finishing second in round robin play, the team met Melville in the quarter final game. After taking down the Highway 10 rivals they went on to

best Weyburn in the semi-finals, which lead them to meet Swift Current. That team is ranked at the top of the province, Pfeifer said, and it was a close match, going three sets before Yorkton finally emerged victorious. “Kids were a little nervous, but we pulled through at the end.” The competition through the weekend was tough, Pfeifer said, with many of the team’s games going to three sets, but the team came back to win when it counted. “It means a lot. We battled hard. We played well our year, placing in the top four in tournaments, but to win our home tournament, it’s probably been eight or nine years since we won our home tournament, so it’s a really big confidence booster for us.”

The team plans on using the momentum from the successful home tournament as they prepare for 5A Southern Regionals in Weyburn this weekend. The team needs to place in the top three in the tournament to make it into provincials, something Pfeifer is confident they can do. “That’s the best we’ve played all year, so hopefully that continues.” In preparing for the next tournament, the team will focus on passing and serving. Pfeifer said that when they’re passing and serving well, they win, but if they don’t, that’s when they have to fight back. This is also a good sign for the volleyball program in the next school year as well. Unlike many of the teams they faced, the Raiders only had one Grade 12 student on the squad, so next year’s

The YRHS Raiders senior boys volleyball team took home gold in their home tournament on the weekend. team is going to be largely the same. Pfeifer said that the younger players coming up through the

school are also very talented, so while this is the first time in a long time they won their home

tournament, he expects it will not be the last. “The future looks very good.”

Cowboy ready for Yorkton PBR

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Cody Coverchuk became a bull rider more or less on a dare. “My brother dared me to get on a cow when I was 12-years-old,” said the Meadow Lake, SK., cowboy when asked about his introduction to the sport. From there it just all sort of fell into place for Coverchuk, who will be riding in Yorkton this week as PBR Canada makes it first stop in the city as part of the Grain Millers Harvest Showdown. “I figured out I was not too bad at it,” he said, adding learning that you are good at bull riding comes with a cost. “I took a lot of bumps and bruises,” he said. The physical nature of the sport meant his parents weren’t exactly thrilled about his decision to pursue it. “The reaction was that I was crazy,” Coverchuk said with a chuckle, adding his father was at best lukewarm to the idea, and his mother basically outright opposed. But Coverchuk persisted. “I wasn’t very good at hockey, but I took a shine to this,” he said, adding as he progressed as a rider his parents became accepting and are now huge fans. The bumps went down, the bruises faded, and Coverchuk got better and better at the sport. “I progressed through amateurs up to the PBR,” he said. Since making his PBR debut in 2013, Cody Coverchuk has been an annual contender for the PBR Canada Championship. This season, the 24-year-old has used two event wins and 14 topfive efforts to propel him to number three in the national standings, just 138.33 points

Cody Coverchuk, in blue shirt, a Meadow Lake cowboy, came to ride bulls in the PBR after starting in the sport on a dare. behind number-one Lachlan Richardson from Australia. Once he realized he was good at riding bulls, the sport drew his attention in more detail and he soon became a fan of J.B. Mauney, an American professional bull rider on the Professional Bull Riders tour who won the World Championship in 2013 and 2015. Coverchuk actually met Mauney; in fact he competed against his idol, at the Calgary Stampede in 2017. “I always wanted to ride against him,” he admitted, adding it didn’t quite go the way he had dreamed it. “He actually beat me.” But Coverchuk didn’t let the loss to his idol bother him, but rather saw it as an incentive. “It’s something to

Single loss punctuates Maulers’ weekend By Sean Mott Staff Writer The Maulers suffered a sole loss over the last week, deepening their flimsy win-loss record to 1-15. The Maulers were scheduled to face the Beardys Blackhawks on Nov. 3, but the game was cancelled due to ice conditions. The match was rescheduled to Nov. 11. The Maulers squared off against the Saskatoon Contacts on Nov. 4 in away game action. The Contacts put themselves on the board late in the first period, pulling out 1-0. Anthony Roebuck,

thanks to assists from Massen Ziola and Josh Peppler, put the Maulers in the game with a goal in the second. The Contacts responded in kind. The Maulers couldn’t rally in the third period. The Contacts scored three goals, ending the game with a strong 5-1 victory. Up Next The Maulers will be back on the road for a game with the Notre Dame Argos on Nov. 7. They’ll have a chance to redeem their weekend loss when they return to Yorkton on Nov. 17 for a game against the Contacts.

My brother dared me to get on a cow when I was 12-years-old. — Cody Coverchuk build on,” he said, adding being up close to Mauney who he said has a similar style to his own was a rare opportunity to learn, “just to watch him, the way he does things.” Coverchuk also pays attention to top Canadian riders such as Tanner Byrne from Prince Albert who rides the PBR’s top events. “Tanner’s one of my good buddies. I get on practice bulls at his place in the winter time,” he said. Having close friends in the sport is important, said Coverchuk, who admitted bad rides can wear on riders. He said

the sport is 90 per cent mental. “It’s pretty hard on your mind getting in the best bulls,” he said, adding it’s harder still if the bulls are putting you in the dirt a lot. That is when having friends to talk through the mental aspects of the sport come into play. The physical aspect of the sport is about staying healthy. That is where being a smaller rider (Coverchuk is five-foot-11) can be an asset. “Small guys, there’s not as much real estate to get stepped on,” he said.

But the bulls always leave cowboys with a few aches and pains. Coverchuk said Mauney has stated “he hasn’t been 100 per cent healthy since he first got on a bull.” That means rarely climbing on a bull at 100 per cent. Coverchuk said riders just block out the aches and pains for eight seconds, and go about their business. In Coverchuk’s case the business at-hand includes trying to earn a sort of Team Canada for the PBR’s upcoming Global Cup. The third annual event which will pit teams from the topfive bull riding nations against one another, will be held in Texas in February 2019. The first Global Cup was in 2017 in Edmonton and Coverchuk was part of Team Canada, which was a huge moment in his career. “Every athlete wants to represent their coun-

try,” he said. The Cup however, was not good to Coverchuk. “I didn’t ride very good. I bucked off every bull,” he said, adding the broader experience was “great” even if his riding was not. But when Team Canada headed to Australia for the second annual event earlier this year, Coverchuk was not among them. He wants to be back on the team in February. The rides in Yorkton will be important in that quest as Aaron Roy will be scouting talent to fill out the Global Cup roster. Coverchuk said he has ridden in the Farrell Agencies Arena in the past at the Canadian Cowboy Association sanctioned rodeo a few years back, and looks forward to returning with the PBR. “It’s awesome … to get a chance to represent Saskatchewan,” he said.

LUSHNEY - Wasylina Lushney passed away peacefully at the Yorkton and District Nursing Home. Born in the Wroxton area to Sandra (Snihor) and Bill Hnatiuk. Wasylina was predeceased by an infant daughter in 1942 and her husband Bill in 1991, sister Rose Shulman, Mary Goulash and brother John Hnatiuk. She is survived by numerous nieces and nephews, great and great-greatnieces and nephews. Life on the farm was the way of life for Wasylina; she was up before sunrise and worked until dust. Chores to be done; tending to her large garden; days were never long enough for Wasylina. She was never afraid of heights in her younger years, she painted the roof on the hip barn and on their two storey home. When one visited Wasylina you never left hungry…little wine…Wasylina resided on the farm in Wroxton until October 4, 2016 at which time she moved to Aspen Bluffs Villa in Yorkton. In March 2018 she was hospitalized in Kamsack and moved May 4, 2018 to the Kamsack Nursing Home. On July 10, 2018 she took up residence in the Yorkton and District Nursing Home where she passed away on October 26, 2018. A prayer service for Wasylina was held on October 29 and the funeral service was held on October 30, 2018 from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Holy Transfiguration in Yorkton with Father Michael Faryna officiating. John Shulman acted as cross bearer. Wasylina was laid to rest in the Yorkton City Cemetery with Peter Lushney, Randal Diduck, Jason Diduck, Kelly Woloschuk, Lawrence Diduck and Melvin Woloschuk acting as pall bearers.

HAPPY - With tears in our eyes, we announce the sudden passing of our Beloved Husband, Daddy and Grandpa Don Happy at the age of 57 on October 27, 2018 in his home at Good Spirit Acres. Donald Lawrence Happy the second Eldest child of Emil Happy & Rosie Kwasny was born on January 15, 1961 at the Preeceville Union Hospital. Don was raised on a farm south of Preeceville and completed grade 12 at Preeceville School in 1979. From an early age Don was a hard worker and in his teens worked various jobs including construction. On Sept 19, 1981 Don married his soul mate Marie Cowie and they settled in to a small house in Preeceville to start their life of 37 years together. Like all marriages they had their share of rough patches but for the most part Don and Marie were inseparable. If you saw one you could be sure that the other was close behind. Their profound love for one another grew over the years and was not unnoticed by others. On January 22, 1982 they welcomed to the world their daughter, Cristal Louise. She was the light of Don’s life and he was her best friend and hero. Over the course of the next couple of years Don worked as the Parts Manager for the local JD dealership and Dodge Dealership in Preeceville. On their 5th wedding anniversary they purchased their farm south of Preeceville, just a few miles away from the farm where Don grew up. The next few years were spent farming and working various jobs on and off the farm which eventually included getting his feet wet in the golf car industry while working with The Wayne Heinrich Family businesses, Preeceville Tractor and LAKE Distributing. In 1992 a series of events saw Don’s part time auto repair business transform into Happy’s Auto/Golf Cart Sales & Service. This worked well as a family business on the farm and complimented their thriving cattle operation. While Marie stayed back and manned the phones Don spent countless hours on the road selling and servicing golf carts all over western Canada. It was during those road trips he spent the most time with his daughter who was his shop hand, administrator and GPS. This truly was a family owned and operated business. The business grew beyond the limits of the farm and in the spring of 1999 the Sales and Service Center was opened at Good Spirit Acres. Many wondered why Don and Marie picked this location and didn’t choose a larger center to relocate but a few years prior they had purchased a lot on the 16th Tee off of Good Spirit Golf Course with the dream of living on the course and golfing well into retirement. In the summer of 2003 the farm sold and the dream became a reality (minus the retirement) Don and Marie spent their summers working the business and getting in as many rounds of golf as possible. His winters were spent curling and riding the snowmobile trails which took him to many locations throughout the province. As the years passed the family grew with the addition of a Son-in-Law, Ed Ockochinski of Springside and 2 Grandchildren who adored their Grandpa. Leland and Emma would fight over who could sit in Grandpa’s big chair with him which usually resulted in all 3 of them being jammed in the big blue recliner. Don was a man of many talents and abilities and he had a passion for cars and sports. He could often be found tinkering in the shop fabbing up gag gifts for his friends or modifying something factory built to “build it the right way”. He was very proud of his 1951 Ford Custom and has a trophy case full of trophies as reward for the 7 years’ worth of blood, sweat and tears he put into it. Don was an avid Montreal Canadiens, Sask Roughriders, curling and NASCAR fan, but if ever asked to attend a live event the response would be “why would I go there when I have the best view from my big blue chair”. Don had a kind heart and a bright smile, his laid back attitude and quiet wit will be missed by everyone who’s lives he touched. Don was predeceased by his Grandparents Mike and Annie (nee Duchyminski) Happy and Paul and Mary (nee Matsalla) Kwasny; a nephew Michael Happy (in infancy); a niece Samantha Cowie (in infancy). Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife & best friend Marie of Good Spirit Acres, his daughter & her husband Cristal & Ed Ockochinski of Springside, his grandson Leland and granddaughter Emma; his father, Emil Happy of Ituna, SK; mother, Rosie Kwasny of Canora, SK; his siblings, Martin Happy of Wolseley, SK, Allan (Deb) Happy of Preeceville, SK, Gene (Holly) Happy of Viking AB, Linda (Shan) Wahl of Regina, SK, Wayne (Lorelei) Happy of Yorkton, SK; his in-laws, Donna & Grey Cowie of Carnduff, SK; brothers-in-law, Brian (Kat) Cowie of Carnduff, SK and Allen (Lori) Cowie of Regina, SK along with numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and many dear friends. The Funeral Service was held on Monday, November 5, 2018 at St. Mary’s Cultural Centre with Crystal Bailey, Certified Celebrant officiating. A Scripture Readings was given by Donna Cowie. Tributes were shared by Don’s Buddies. A Private Family Interment was held at Trinity Columbarium in the Garden of Memories at Yorkton Memorial Gardens with Marie serving as the urn bearer. Memorial donations in Don’s memory may be made to the Health Foundation as gifts of remembrance.

Cross country kicks off

Submitted

Yorkton Cross Country Ski Club’s youth program has begun for a second year. Nineteen kids are currently registered in Track Attack (10-14), Jack Rabbit (8-14), and Bunny (4-7) programs. Three dryland training sessions have been

held at Logan Green, Madge Lake, and the Yorkton Ecological Reserve. The kids have been learning nordic walking, ski binding, new trails, and orienteering.

SJHL and MJHL will again host joint showcase The Saskatchewan Jr A Hockey League (SJHL) is once again announcing the SJHL/MJLH showcase. Logan Fraser Director of marking and communications with the SJHL and event organizer says “The league is extremely excited to host the 2nd annual event. This year we plan to have the same entertainment value with live streaming, broadcasting, large LED screens throughout the rink and of course many scouts in attendance. We welcome and encourage the public to come out and watch some elite hockey”

each league will consist of players aged 16 to 20 who will be selected by the coaches from their respective leagues. One team will be comprised of players who are 18 and under and two teams will be made up of players who are 20 and under. All teams will play 2 games.

The Showcase will be held at the Co-operators Center in Regina, January 14th and 15th

“The inaugural Showcase was a very positive event for both leagues in many ways,” MJHL Director of Operations Kevin Saurette said. “Most importantly it allowed the athletes the opportunity to showcase themselves in a highly competitive environment in front of many scouts and coaches from all levels.”

The Showcase will feature 3 teams from each league made up with the top 60 players in the SJHL and in the MJHL. The 3 teams representing

Kim Davis, the Commissioner of the Manitoba Jr. A Hockey League stated, “The MJHL is extremely excited about the opportunity

to once again collaborate with the SJHL for this Showcase and to further build off the on and office success of last year’s event”. President of the SJHL Bill Chow “The SJHL is extremely excited about the opportunity to collaborate with the MJHL by showcasing the top players in our leagues in a new event that gives our players a chance to showcase their skills and abilities for Scouts from all higher levels of hockey. None of this could take place without the aid of our sponsors” President of the Saskatchewan Jr. A Hockey League Bill Chow, would like to recognize the SJHL/ MJHL Showcase sponsors, Sask-Milk, Regina Hotel Association; Nufab Building Products, Kevin Bassendowski Agencies, Ramada Plaza Regina and Youngs Equipment.

Perfect game for a Halloween night Admittedly, horror has never been one of the ‘genres’ I have gravitated to in anything. Yes I saw the first Alien, but never bothered with a sequel. I read Dracula, but never became a fan of horror books. As a result I haven’t exactly went looking for games with a horror theme. But I am a deck-building game fan, so Mason Crawford’s Lockwood’s Asylum did catch my eye. In terms of horror the game drips with theme. “There have always been rumors surrounding the Lakeshore Asylum,” detailed the game’s successful Kickstarter fundraising page. “The strange fire back in the days of the Great Depression, the scandal involving the administrator and the flayed bodies in the ‘40s, the missing patients that briefly led to the asylum’s closing

in the ‘70s ... they were stories told around campfires by those who had not seen the horror first hand. “When Dr. Lockwood took over the administration of the asylum, nobody had any reason to be concerned. The doctor was analytical, precise, driven: the perfect person for the job. “Then Lockwood found the tome, and the rituals and experiments began ...” The art by David Romero, Alexander Solomon and Jesh Pasiliano is creepy without being garish to further immerse players in the realm of horror. For me, as luck sometimes happens, the game arrived in the post the afternoon of Oct. 31. It was Halloween, and a Wednesday, the night we typically gather the Meeple Guild for some gaming. So of course we broke out Lockwood’s

THE MEEPLE GUILD (Yorkton) meeple.guild@gmail.com Asylum We have played our fair share of deck-builders, and this one immediately set itself as better than most. The reason was simple enough, this one allows for more player interaction than most deck-builders. As the Kickstarter campaign noted, “Lockwood’s Asylum allows players to build not only their own decks, but also the decks of their opponents. Each time a player purchases a monster or horror card, that card goes into the

BG Denture Clinic

play area - or ‘room’ - of the player to their left.” The element of influencing other players does make this far more of a ‘take that’ game, which may not suit all, but our group liked it a lot. Any ally cards that a player purchases go into their own room, where they help defend against the monsters and horrors that have been placed there by the others players. At the end of the turn, the allies, monsters, and horrors in the player’s room battle it out. The next great feature

Dear Editor: In a few short days millions of Canadians, from coast to coast, will be wearing a poppy and attending another Remembrance Day ceremony to commemorate the sacrifices of life and limb by Canadian men and women in the military, police forces and firefighters, to protect us from our enemies and keep our homes safe from crime and destruction. Initiated by the forerunner of the Royal Canadian Legion in 1919 by the British Empire Service League, and called Armistice Day, it was changed to the present name in 1931, and organized by the Legion since 1926. The poppy represents the blood shed by these service men and women, with a Last Post by the bugler followed by the well-known phrase “At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them”. In Yorkton, in excess of $20,000 from the poppy campaign is donated back to local organizations or institutions each year. Since going indoors in Yorkton to avoid the cold weather common on November 11th, this traditional ceremony, held annually for the past 92 years, has been very well attended by the public as well as many community organizations, including small children and youths on parade. Marched in by the ‘pipes and drums’, they are led

by members of the RCMP in their colourful red tunics, followed by the colour party of the General Alexander Ross Yorkton branch 77, Royal Canadian Legion, and a handful of Legionaires. Sitting up front on the sidelines with canes and wheel-chairs are the last of our WWII veterans able to attend and be ‘on parade’, but disppointed that so many of the Legion comrades are sitting in the stands! This brings me to my main concern and reason for this letter. There is an obvious and disturbing trend, probably universal as well as local, for present day citizens to place a low priority on contributing to the welfare and progress of their community, which provides them with their needs and everyday enjoyment, while devoting far too much time to their children’s activities, as well as housebound, playing with and watching their electronic toys! We see this with the continual loss and contribution of our service clubs to the welfare of all of us through their fund-raising efforts for many health related and other charities as well as community structures and recreation facilities. Those that are still holding on, like the Legion, are struggling to keep solvent and conduct meetings, through loss of members, very low turn out for meetings and reluctance to help in fundraising and club activities. This trend is also present in small

clubs and organizations who are also affected by low revenues at events. In past years, many of our business and professional community joined many clubs, lending their experience in management, finance, organization and leadership. Many community-minded citizens joined because they wanted to help, to socialize with like-minded people and make new friendships. Surprisingly, the more they became involved and realized the value of their efforts to the community, the more they enjoyed being involved and proud to be a member. There seems to be a lot less of that enthusiasm and pride in standing up for something today. Over the years, many of our past and present service clubs have raised and donated thousands, tens of thousands, and even millions of dollars a year for various causes. If this trend continues, that funding will be lost, and we will be paying for it out of our pocket, or in taxes. Plus, a possible loss of the former benefit or improvement to our community. We are not that busy to take the time to volunteer and support some worthy cause or activity. After all, we all want our community to be a place where we want to raise our families and retire in the comfort with our friends. Comrade William Stubbings Yorkton, Sask.

Rededication for cairn

Staff Photos by Devin Wilger

When the Royal Canadian Legion Alexander Ross Branch #77 moved out of their former home on Broadway, the cairn at the site had to be moved to another location. With the help of the City of Yorkton, the new location is on Darlington St. near the cenotaph. The cairn also received an addition, telling the story of why the cairn was moved and adding a dedication to Canadian soldiers involved in more recent conflicts. The cairn was rededicated on Oct. 13.

Over the top - Yorkton boy gives his experiences The following letter was received by Henry McInnes from his brother Hugh in 1918, and was printed in the Yorkton Enterprise in the November 12, 1918 edition. Dear Henry: I know you won’t have time to answer this letter for some time as you will be busy threshing, but all the same you will be glad to receive a few lines to let you know how I have been getting along. Well, I am doing fine just now, that is two things which I have not been used to. I am getting a little tired of bed but not much when it comes to using my leg, to put weight on it. I am not hurt much but a piece of shrapnel went through the muscle of my right leg about three inches above my knee cap and must have scraped the bone. I have been under the Xrays twice now and the doctors seem satisfied that the bone was not hurt and I am quite satisfied myself as I don’t want to take any more ether as it sure makes you sick when you are coming out of it. One fellow at the other end of the ward has just quit raving and is asking the nurse silly questions, but he will be alright in an hour, and one fellow did not take any ether and seems alright but has not said a word since he was brought back to the ward. He has been suffering some pain but then it is worth something to miss that awful sickness which the ether leaves you in, but I guess you had your share of it when

you were in the hospital. Well Henry now that I am out of France I will tell you where I have been. When I first came to France I went to some huts near Mt. St. Eloi, I guess it will be on the map, its just behind Vimy. I stayed there three weeks and then joined the Battalion at Houdain, ten miles north, that was the third of January, 1917. We stayed there three weeks and then started for the trenches and that was a little to the right of Loos. We held that part of the line until the 1st of March and then we moved back to Mt. St. Eloi and held the line there until the 9th of April and then we went over the top. I was in the front wave and did not see many get hit, but in the afternoon when all was quiet, we went back and found all our mates killed, and then I began to think going over the top a poor game. The Battalions that came behind and went through us did not have many killed, as we took all the German strong points, but they went on and captured their artillery so the Germans did not shell us for a day or two, as they had to wait on new guns and ammunition. Well we went over the top again on the 28th of April, then out for a months rest at Houdain. We went back to Vimy and held the line until the middle of July and then moved up to Loos or Hill 70. We held the line there until the 15th of August and then over the top again. The 8th Battalion failed to take their

part and we had to do it on the 16th and then went out for another months rest, but were called back to the line in two weeks. We went to Lens for a month and then I was sent down the line for two months, and when I came back the battalion had gone to Ypres. I stayed at the Brigade School for awhile and saw Bill for four successive nights and that was the last time I saw him (Will McInnes was killed in action, 1918). I then went with the Railway Construction Corps and was to get a transfer, but the battalion was used up so bad at Ypres that the colonel called me back. We held the trenches all winter around Lens and Hill 70, all but a month at Xmas which we spent at Houdain. On the 21st of March when Fritz started for Paris, we were sent to Albert to help stop him, but were soon sent back to Arras to look out for him there, and all the show he put on there we soon stopped. We billeted in Arras for four day and say didn’t we have some time. The people had all gone and left everything and we had fried chicken and rabbit every night but of course if we had been caught it would have meant two years in the pen. On April 27th, 1918, I was sent down the line and went back on the 1st of August. I was through Amiens and all those towns on the road to Roy which we captured. We found about 200 bottles of champagne and a lot of silver knives in a little village, and I do not

know how the Boches missed them. Well the champagne was of no use to me but there was some fun seeing the other fellows getting lit up on it. They say it was good stuff alright and some of it had been bottled away back in the 90’s, so had quite a kick to it. I had one of the knives for a souvenir and it sure was a good knife for cutting up rations, every one who saw it wanted it. Well someone has it now as I left it with my kit and there isn’t a thing left of that. We went back to Arras for two weeks and went over the top twice along the Arras and Cambrai road and I came out OK. We then had orders to go down on the left of the Arras and Cambrai road and dig in at the Nord Canal, that was two miles distant. We lost our Officer so I was leading one half of the platoon and a Corporal was leading the other. We got along for awhile OK, but when we got within half a mile of the canal, Fritz opened a battery of whiz bangs on us, two guns on the Corporal and two on me. We dodged along for quite a way, running a little way at a time and then flopping down. we were getting close to the canal when one lit about 10 feet in front of me and a piece found my knee. I came back and the rest went on and I don’t know how many of the fellows were hit after that but there was a lot hit before I got mine. I have no more paper so have to stop. Your brother, Hugh McInnes.

The following was printed in the Nov. 12, 1918 edition of the Yorkton Enterprise. Germans to Retreat Behind the Lines ARMISTICE FIXED

DAYS

Der Tag has arrived for the Kaiser and his Junkers, an armistice having been arranged yesterday to expire at the end of thirty days. Last Thursday, when armistice negotiations started word was received in town that peace had been declared and a half-holiday

was proclaimed and an open air celebration held in the Town Hall grounds. Yesterday on receipt of definite news another half-holiday was proclaimed and arrangements made for a parade in the evening. Led by the town band a large crowd assembled in procession and after parading the town enthusiastically celebrated the termination of the war round a bonfire in the C.P.R. grounds. The salient points of the armistice conditions are as follows: -The Germans evacuate all occupied territories. -Agree to withdraw from the left

bank of the Rhein. -Surrender all supplies of war including 5,000 cannons. -Abandon the treaties of Bucharest and Brest-Lilovsk. -Surrender 160 submarines, 50 destroyers, 6 battle cruisers, 10 battleships, 8 light cruisers and other ships. -Surrender of all Allied vessels in German hands. -Repatriate all Allied prisoners. Among the financial terms are restitution for damage done by the German armies; restitution of the cash taken from the National Bank of Belgium and return of gold taken from Russia and Romania.

Ceremony Sunday

File Photo

The Remebrance Day Ceremony and service will be held Sunday morning at the Nexera Flexihall in the Gallagher Centre. People should be seated before the 11 a.m. for the ceremony.

Veterans pledged their loyalty to our country by serving in the military and fighting for freedom. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a family member, friend or complete stranger, senior veterans are especially in need of support as their health deteriorates and their resources (such as nearby family or money) start to dwindle. Take a little time to show gratitude for their service by gathering your family together and devoting your time weekly, monthly or each Veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day to support these special seniors. Something as simple as letting a service member -- in or out of uniform -- ahead of you in an airport line shows a little appreciation for their sacrifices. 1. Visit a Senior Veteran Seniors in assisted living facilities or nursing homes almost always welcome visitors, and veterans are no exception. Lend an ear to a lonely veteran and you may get a first-hand account of history. 2. Deliver Food to Veterans Contact local food banks and delivery services to help deliver food to aging veterans. 3. Visit Wounded Service Members Contact veterans hospitals in your area to inquire about visiting hours, then spend time with wounded service members. Bring a senior veteran with you -- they will be able to and offer friendship and encouragement as only a fellow service member could. The visit will be both nostalgic and therapeutic. A little of your time could be the greatest gift of all. 4. Attend â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honor a Veteranâ&#x20AC;? Nights Sporting events, like basketball and baseball games, often salute veterans and active military personnel. Inviting an older veteran to attend the game is a small, personal tribute. An arena or baseball park full of standing,

Start a Support Network for Senior Veterans Get your family and friends together and start a support network for senior veterans in your neighborhood. Encourage everyone to check on them regularly, take them out for a meal or invite them to your home to share some time and stories. Veterans often struggle through the years, particularly as they age. Connect with a senior veteran and do everything from inviting them for a friendly cup of coffee to driving them to the doctor. Helping a veteran get out and tell his or her story will touch the vetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life and many more ones. The end result will be a stronger community for all.

Remembrance Day message from MP Every Remembrance Day, Canadians honour our Canadian Armed Forces members and veterans, including police officers, who have served and are currently serving our country. Canada has marked several important anniversaries this year. In August we commemorated the 76th anniversary of WWII’s Dieppe Raid, the 75th anniversary of the invasion of Sicily and the beginning of the Italian Campaign in the Second World War. This year we also recognize the 65th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice and the 10th anniversary of National Peacekeepers’ Day. 2018 is also the 100th

anniversary of the Armistice and the final one hundred days of the Great War that preceded it. In celebration of the end of the First World War, bells will ring at sundown in communities across Canada and in the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill, as they did a century ago. On November 11, 1918, bells also rang in the churches of Mons, Belgium, the final town liberated by the Canadian Corps. The Bells of Peace will chime in honour of those who served Canada, past and present; pealing across our land as a symbol of peace, victory, relief and joy on the 100th anniversary of the Armistice.

Cathay Wagantall, MP The courage and valour of those who served in the first half of the 20th century is reflected in the continued tradition of service by today’s Canadian

Remembering to thank Veterans I write this missive on the morning I am to attend the Remembrance Day Flag raising at the Cenotaph on Darlington Street in Yorkton. Just weeks ago the cairn at the site was unveiled on a blustery fall morning. It was a gathering of friends, people I have come to know over the years at Legion events. Some are veterans many others are family and friends, pipers and dignitaries. We gather at Remembrance Day events to celebrate the lives of people who have given so much to our country and province. They have served around the world advancing the cause of peace and good

wounded. Of those who survived, 3,461 men and one woman lost limbs. The tally of physical injuries sustained in any war doesn’t begin to address the invisible wounds that may include a loss of innocence, sanity and mental health. PTSD remains an ongoing and for some, neverending, battle. This is as true today as it was a century ago. How vital it is to recognize and honour the immeasurable contributions of thousands of our brave Canadians in uniform since the First World War. Their battle was and still is to preserve the freedom we enjoy today. On several fronts, those very free-

doms are increasingly in jeopardy. I join you in gratitude for our peaceful, free country, and for those responsible for guarding that peace and freedom throughout our history. I also join the rest of Canada in prayer for all our enlisted service-people and their families, who risk so much to keep our land glorious and free. Thank you to all who work hard to keep this vital Remembrance Day observance alive in your communities. And on November 11th at sundown, ring a bell. Lest we forget.

service has given Canada a sense of nationhood and a pride in who we are and what we stand for. November 11th we will meet again at the Gallagher Centre to remember our veterans. Join us, our circle of family, friends pipers and dignitaries. The crowd is always large but there is room for a few more. Comrade Peter Wyatt suggests we be seated by 10:30 a.m. and I never argue with the parade Marshall. It will be a good day to shake some hands and thank our veterans for their service. I’ll see you there. Yorkton Mayor Bob Maloney

Millions of Canadians will wear a Poppy as a visual pledge to never forget those who sacrificed for our freedom. On as many occasions as possible, say “Thank you” to a veteran, honour those who have served and respectfully acknowledge those who continue to sacrifice for our freedoms and serve in protective services. Remembrance is a yearlong commitment and I am pressed to think about veterans on more occasions than November 11. Often I reflect upon the life and the physical as well as the emotional conditions of a soldier and the ones who serve to ensure that our freedoms are protected. I’m grateful for their sacrifice of personal comfort,

Armed Forces. Numerous people from this area served as uniformed officers and many from the riding of Yorkton-Melville serve today. If you have had or currently have a family member in the forces, you realize that when someone serves in Canada’s forces, their whole family serves with them. Often the formerly enlisted prefer not to speak about their experiences. The sacrifices made were and are too great, often unspeakably horrific. Friends lost friends and much more on those early battlefields. In WWI alone, 61,000 Canadians were killed and even more

enth day of the eleventh month, we gather in honour of all who have fallen. Together, as we observe a moment of silence to mark the sacrifice of the many who have fallen in service and recognize the courage of those who still serve, may we be especially mindful of this year`s ceremony significance. This year, 2018, will mark 100 years that have passed since the end of World War I. In Romans 13:7 (KJV), it reads, “Render therefore to all their dues; tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.” God bless Canada, God bless Saskatchewan.

LEST WE FORGET WWII Veteran reflects on War Amps ParklandCollege_6x28_R0011620684.indd prod2/kj YTW remembrance 2018 f/c

On November 11, Second World War veteran Charlie Jefferson will not only be thinking of all those who have served and continue to serve on behalf of Canada, he will also be reflecting on the 100th anniversary of The War Amps, an organization which has supported him and generations of amputees. In March 1945, Jefferson was serving as a Lieutenant with the Queen’s Own Rifles Regiment in the Rhine Valley, Germany. He was injured by an anti-personnel mine explosion, resulting in the loss of his left leg below the knee. When he returned to Canada, he was greeted by a war amputee veteran who reassured him that living with an amputation would not be a barrier to a successful life and that The War Amps would be there to support him. The War Amps was started in 1918 by amputee veterans returning from the First World War to help each other in adapting to their new reality as amputees. They then welcomed amputee veterans following the Second World War, like Jefferson, sharing all that they had learned, as well as starting the Key Tag Service to allow these new members to gain meaningful employment and provide a service to the public. Jefferson says that he gained practical advice from fellow amputee veterans, like how to protect the skin on his stump from blisters. He adds that the moral support he received was just as important because it made him feel like he was not alone. “It became easier to accept your amputation and helped make the most of

Charlie Jefferson, a Second World War amputee veteran. what you’ve got left,” says Jefferson. Over the years, he “paid it forward” by visiting new amputees in hospitals and at their homes to provide the same guidance that he had been given. “I would tell them what success I had and what was working for me, so there was a comradery and information transfer,” he says. This peer support was then passed on to a new generation. In 1975, war amputee veterans recognized that their knowledge and experience could help others so they started The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, which provides financial assistance for the cost of artificial limbs and regional seminars to young amputees. Rob Larman, Director of The War Amps PLAYSAFE/ DRIVESAFE Program, lost his right leg in a train accident at the age of 14 and grew up with the CHAMP Program. “On Remembrance Day, I think of the incredible legacy these First

and Second World War ‘amps’, like Mr. Jefferson, have created for all amputees in this country,” says Larman. “I’m proud to, in turn, help the younger amputees who have come after me.” When war amputee veterans started The War Amps, they could not have predicted that their founding principle of “amputees helping amputees” would still be going strong 100 years later. Thanks to the public’s continuing support of the Key Tag Service, The War Amps vital programs for amputees across Canada will carry on long into its second century.

Charlie Jefferson passes down the advice he learned from fellow amputee veterans to members of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program.
