Two GSSD students involved in collision Bus routes in Yorkton were affected by a collision between a truck and two students. On Monday, June 18 at approximately 8 a.m., Yorkton Municipal RCMP responded to a motor vehicle collision involving two pedestrians. Initial investigation indicates that two 15 yearolds were crossing the street to board a waiting school bus when they were struck by a pickup truck. The bus was on the Dr. Brass/YRHS route. Both were transported to hospital with what were described as minor injuries. The driver of the pickup truck remained at the scene and has been interviewed by police. No charges have been laid at this time. Quentin Robertson, Director of Education for the Good Spirit School Division, admits they do not have many details, but they expect the two students involved in the incident to make a full recovery. The remainder of the bus route that morning was cancelled following

Premier Moe talks carbon tax in Yorkton By Sean Mott Staff Writer Premier Scott Moe ran through the Saskatchewan Party’s greatest hits of arguments against a federal carbon tax during his speech in Yorkton last week. “Saskatchewan should not be subjet to this tax,” he said. “It simply doesn’t work.” Moe was the featured guest speaker at the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce luncheon on June 15 at St. Mary’s Cultural Centre. Moe briefly touched on population growth and Canadian politics, but his main focus was the carbon tax (a levy on fossil fuel use designed to reduce Canada’s carbon emissions). Moe and the Sask Party have been staunch opponents to the proposed tax for months. They have brought Saskatchewan to countrywide headlines, positioning the province as one of the biggest proponents of alternatives to carbon taxing. Moe has delivered countless lectures against the tax. While Moe’s speech on Friday touched on points he’s made at other events,

he’s glad he could see Yorkton’s people face to face. “I think it’s important for all government leaders to [get to] communities like Yorkton... to ensure we’re doing right by the people of the province,” he said.
Greg Ottenbreit, MLA for Yorkton, attended the luncheon. He agreed with Moe that government members need to interact with their constituents, especially when discussing big policies. “It’s very important for
[people] to hear what the Premier has to say when it comes to his plans, as it would impact business and citizens,” he said. During his speech, Moe argued that the carbon tax has yet to make an appreciable impact in

Jenny Mckay knows how vital the KidsFirst program can be for families. In the early 2000s, she moved to Yorkton with her family to partake in the thennew program. 15 years later, she’s the community outreach education worker for KidsFirst Yorkton. “[The program] empowers families,” she said. Mckay and her co-workers are thrilled with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education’s recent announcement that the province-wide KidsFirst program will receive over $15 million for 2018-19. KidsFirst focuses on families with children in the range of prenatal to age three. The program offers support for parents, including youth education, general parenting knowledge, and community connections. The program centers on families in vulnerable circumstances, but Linda Spracklin-Cross, manager of Integrated Primary Health

“I just felt like walking” By Sean Mott Staff Writer Zayell Johnston has slept in fields, next to rivers, and under mountains. He’s marched through sunny weather and stormy days. He’s clocked thousands of steps into the Fitbit on his wrist. He’s traveled across three provinces and he’s not even halfway done with his journey. When people ask Johnston why he’s making this massive trek, they might expect he’s promoting a profound cause. He always gives a humble answer. “I just felt like walking,” he said. The Yorkton-born man is hiking across Canada. He reached his hometown in early June, taking a short break to catch his breath and catch up with friends and family. Johnston stopped in Yorkton a month earlier than he expected. He planned to arrive in town in time for his mother’s wedding. Johnston will be back into his journey and far from Yorkton when the event finally happens. At that point, he’ll grab a bus home. “Wherever I am on the road, I’ll hit pause [and] head back for my mom’s wedding,” he said. “I’ll be somewhere between Winnipeg and Thunder Bay.” Johnston is no stranger to big on-foot journeys. After college, he back-
packed solo through Europe. He planned to go with a friend, but when he backed out, Johnston had to change his plans on the fly. “You need to adapt to your surroundings,” he said. “Every situation’s different.” Johnston returned from Europe with an arsenal of travel tricks and one major desire: To walk across his home country. “I want to see Canada,” he said. “There are people who don’t see the whole country. “[I want to] see my own backyard.” Johnston began his journey in Victoria, British Columbia. He knelt down in the Pacific Ocean and splashed the water in his face. When he arrives in St. John’s, Newfoundland, he plans to do the same thing with the Atlantic Ocean. “I don’t know how I’m going to react when I get there,” he said. “Will I just go running into the ocean, just dive in?” Johnston meant to begin his journey in February, but he had to delay his trip for a month due to the weather. Despite that setback, he’s making good time with his hike. He plans to be in Atlantic Canada by late October. “I’m trying to beat the snowfall on the other coast,” he said. “I don’t want to walk through a blizzard.”

Zayell Johnston takes a time-out from his journey and poses with his gear in Yorkton. Johnston has covered a lot of ground in a relatively short amount of time. He didn’t think he’d plough through three provinces by June. “I budgeted that I
would go slower,” he said. But even if he’s moving at a solid clip, that doesn’t mean it’s been an easy trip. He’s had to swap winter jackets and
t-shirts several times during his journey. He burns 6000 calories a day. Sunburn, heat exhaustion, and below-zero temperatures are all risks during his voyage across the Great White North. “The weather is never with you,” he said. “You have to work with it.” Johnston faces a lot of these problems by himself, but he’s not entirely alone on his journey. Time and time again, strangers have stopped to talk with him and, if need be, offer assistance. Johnston met a woman who invited him into her RV for dinner. Near Calgary, Johnston spoke with an elderly couple on his birthday. They let him stay the night at their home, giving him a break from outdoor camping. Johnston said he meets helpful Canadians on a daily basis. “[I’m] surprised at the kindness of strangers,” he said. “Totally [takes] me back.” Johnston set up a GoFundMe page for people who want to give him a hand during his trip. He’s mostly looking for money for hiking gear
and for food (he’s lost 25 pounds since his journey began). “I’m not really asking for much,” he said. Interested parties can donate to Johnston at w w w. g o f u n d m e . c o m / Walkacrosscanada. Johnston has faced challenge after challenge during his walk, but they haven’t deterred him from making it to the finish line. He said that anyone who wants to go on a similar journey needs to be fully committed to accomplishing their goal. “You have to have the drive to do it,” he said. “It’s almost like torturing yourself at some points. “I never have the thought where I want to quit.” After Johnston lands in St. John’s and baptizes himself in the Atlantic Ocean, he plans to head home and find work abroad. He wants to visit Australia and Asia next. On his return trip across Canada, he won’t be walking. “I’ll probably take a plane ride back and look down and say, ‘I was really stubborn,’” he said.

Politics You can’t blame people for tuning out of politics because of the sneaky, self-serving and mealy-mouthed way politicians sometimes do things. But maybe part of the problem is we don’t give enough credit to politicians when they do behave honourable. So let’s offer some credit today … and maybe a little bit of criticism. The issue in play should be familiar to you by now — the escalating trade war between Canada and U.S. There are some out there apt to side with U.S. President Donald Trump’s criticism of Liberal Premier Justin Trudeau as being weak simply because they share those sentiments. Some might even share Trump’s view that Canadian supply management — especially as it is applied to the Canadian dairy industry is wrong. And those of a partisan nature might go as far as to see such criticism as a political opportunity to advance either the Conservatives’ or New Democrats’ political cause. This is troubling. There is too much at stake. Here are the realities: For as wrong-headed subsidies to the Canadian dairy industry may be in the view of some people, the 270-per-cent tariffs Trump speaks of only apply to some products in special circumstances of over supply. Both countries provide subsidies and they are about equally. In fact, we should be aware of Trump’s hypocrisy, given the U.S.’s $349 billion in subsidies to its own agriculture industry in the past 20 years. Contrary to Trump’s message to his base about how unfairly the U.S. is treated by the rest of the world, consider the average tariff rate of all G-7 nations: USA. 1.6 per cent; European Union, 1.6 per cent; United Kingdom, 1.6 per cent; Italy, 1.6 per cent; Germany, 1.6 per cent; France, 1.6 percent, Japan, 1.4 per cent, and; Canada, .8 per cent. Yes, on average, Americans — and virtually everyone else — charges twice the tariffs as Canadians. A massive trade deficit? Trump is incapable of telling the truth. Here are the really numbers for 2017: Canada’s US exports were $341.2 billion compared with: $332.8 billion in Canadian imports to the US. The Americans enjoyed an $8.4 billion surplus in total goods and services trade. But we are straying from the point of this column — those politicians who have stood tall in the face of these unfair tariffs. In last week’s column, credit was given to Premier Scott Moe and his predecessor Brad Wall for skipping past partisan opportunities to take shots at Trudeau and standing firm against the tariffs from the very beginning. Conservative Opposition leader Andrew Scheer was rightly criticized for initially taking cheap shots at Trudeau and the federal government for not doing enough to protect aluminum and steel. But since then, Scheer appears to have seen the error of his ways and has sent out strong signals of opposition to Trump’s tariffs. Perhaps those Conservatives advising Trudeau behind the scenes — former leaders and ministers like Brian Mulroney, Rona Ambrose and Perrin Beatty — have spoken to Scheer. It’s a message that can’t be repeated enough to Scheer’s followers who also need to know that former prime minister Stephen Harper, Alberta UPC leader Jason Kenney and newly elected Conservative premier Doug Ford are all strongly opposed to the tariffs. Also credit the provincial and federal NDP for doing what the Conservatives and Liberals are doing —standing up for the nation. Yes, there has been slippage. Saskatchewan NDP leader Ryan Meili initially tried to tie Doug Ford’s admiration of Trump (pre-tariff) to Moe’s eagerness to have Ford’s support in the carbon tax. And the Sask. Party is now clumsily soliciting support by tying the tariffs to the Liberal/NDP carbon tax in online petitions. But overall, politicians deserve credit. Murray Mandryk has been covering provincial politics for over 22 years.

Solutions for carbon problem up in the air A
carbon tax is like the Chili’s gift card of environmental policy: the absolute bare minimum in order to appear as though you’ve done something. In the case of Canada, given that the tax needs to be implemented by the provinces, it’s like sending your little brother out to get that gift card. So naturally Scott Moe doesn’t like it. It’s especially important for him not to like it because his party is supposed to be anti-tax as a rule – don’t ask anyone who has recently purchased a used car about how effective they are on that front – and because a big chunk of his support base would be negatively affected by such a tax. It’s like buying a Chili’s gift card for people who don’t even live near a Chili’s. It was inevitable that this would become a big debate, and it’s good that it has. Whether or not we wind up with a carbon tax, it has to be clear that this isn’t really a solution in the long run. Whether or not it helps, it’s not going to save the world. There have to be other solutions if you’re going to actually make a substantial difference in the country’s contributions to climate change. But it often feels like we’re a bit stuck on this carbon tax, unable to move on. One wonders if there are more effective ways of encouraging people to cut down on their personal carbon footprint, let alone the more important step of encouraging large corporations – who, by their very nature, are going to be emitting many more emissions than
the man on the street – to take steps to make their operations more carbon neutral. On the personal level, instead of tax, what about incentives? This used to be a regular feature in Saskatchewan, encouraging people to replace old, inefficient appliances and home fittings. Give annual incentives to people who buy fuel efficient cars, give perks when you upgrade to use less energy. Encourage companies to get certified as carbon neutral so they have a selling point on their products. That will only make a small drop in the bucket however, and the real difficulty is outside of Canada. In a lot of cases, being dirty is cheaper. Some corporations just find the country with the worst regulation enforcement and Canada can’t do anything about it anyway. International shipping is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and neatly skirts the issue by being outside of Canada most of the time. Finding a way to handle this problem while simultaneously keeping pace with the nation’s various trade agreements will be very difficult, and perhaps this is why nobody talks about it. This is an international problem, and in order to deal with it, there has to be an international solution, which might involve making countries with lax environmental regulations very angry. The carbon tax isn’t going to save the world, but any idea that can isn’t being discussed.

Celebrate Success Award nominations open By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The Yorkton Chamber of Commerce is looking for the best and brightest of the city’s businesses. With the annual Celebrate Success awards, the Chamber honors the best in business, but they need the city’s help. The nomination process has officially begun. Nomination forms are available at the Chamber office or their website at www.yorktonchamber. com. The nomination deadline is noon on Aug. 27, 2018. Nominated businesses will receive a nominee package, which they must fill out by Sept. 7. Award categories are: Award of Excellence sponsored by Canadian Western Bank Business Growth & Expansion sponsored by BMO Bank of Montreal C o m m u n i t y

Mike Popowich, Chamber of Commerce President, said that nobody knows a business better than the people who own it, so they encourage businesses to put their names in
the running. The benefits of winning an award, or even getting nominated, can extend far beyond Yorkton’s city limits said Popowich. “For our business, when we won the award for leadership and diversity, we [used] that award to gain recognition internationally.” The judging process is very intensive, said Popowich. “A lot of hours go into it, too. I think there are a lot of 2:00 a.m. evenings for those judges, too. They spend all evening and into the night to make a decision.” According to Donna Brothwell, Chair of the Events Committee, for many judges the opportunity is a good chance to learn things about local business that they’ve never known before. “The nominee packages that come in, you learn so much about the

History Corner A Long Time Ago...
A LONG TIME AGO.... In July of 1919, the YORKTON AUTO CLUB held an old time dance and bon fire party at York Lake as their annual big celebration. A supper was served followed by dancing in the War Veterans Pavilion. Then all went around the mammoth bonfire to partake in activities there. At the time, the club was busy installing sign posts between Yorkton and York Lake to prevent people taking the wrong roads to destination. There was also work going on to build a passable road around the lake front. Chairman Purvis of the road committee was concentrating on any rough

section of the roads to see about improvements. Membership in the Auto Club was very high and they were looking to a further increase. This auto club appears to have been a very enthusiastic organization. We also have a photo of their parked cars lined up on Broadway Street. In 1919, owning a car would have given men a special status.

Ottenbreit, Meili reflect on last session By Sean Mott Staff Writer The second session of the 28th Saskatchewan Legislature drew to a close last month. As the parties step away from the Legislative Assembly
to focus on their constituents and prepare for the autumn, some MLAs are reflecting on their successes and failures during three months in 2018. “Overall, it went quite well,” said Yorkton MLA Greg Ottenbreit.
Ottenbreit, the Minister of Rural and Remote Health with the governing Sask Party, is pleased with his organization’s work so far this year. “[We’re] standing up for Saskatchewan’s inter-
ests,” he said. For Ottenbreit, Saskatchewan’s interests include balancing the budget and, of course, resisting the proposed federally-mandated carbon tax. “We’re going to continue on with our fight,” he said. This session represented a moment of transition for the Sask Party. They chose Scott Moe as their new party leader and Premier after Brad Wall stepped down. Ottenbreit complimented Moe on his work so far. “I was very impressed with Moe’s performance,” he said. “He represented us well.” Moe wasn’t the only new party leader at the Legislature this session. Ryan Meili won the NDP party leader election in March. “It’s been a pretty exciting session,” he said. For Meili and the
NDP, success was defined by pointing out shortcomings in the Sask Party’s approach while offering an different vision to Saskatchewanians. “We continue to point out the cuts to education,” Meili said. Meili was critical of the Sask Party’s resistance to the carbon tax. Meili claims that if the provincial government refuses to negotiate with the federal government, a carbon tax will be imposed. Ottenbreit disagrees. “We criticized Meili for waving the white flag to Ottawa,” Ottenbreit said. Ottenbreit highlighted his party’s alternative to the carbon tax: the Prairie Resilience plan. The program focuses on rewarding sustainable harvesting and on pulling carbon from the atmosphere. “We think it’s a more
positive approach than simply taxing people,” he said. Meili called the plan flawed. “It doesn’t meet requirements and it leaves money on the table,” he said. “It puts us in a pretty vulnerable position.” Ottenbreit acknowledged missed opportunities during this past session, particularly in regards to mental health services and changes to the grants-in-lieu program. “Yorkton was impacted harder than other communities [by those changes],” he said. Ottenbreit and Meili plan to spend their summer meeting constituents and planning for the fall. “[Time to] catch up with the constituency,” Ottenbreit said. “There’s always a lot of events to attend.”

Council Meeting Monday, June 25, 2018 at 5:00 p.m. BYLAW FAST FACTS Owners Must Control Their Dogs Did you know? The Animal Control Bylaw No. 5/2018 requires dog owners to have their dog on a leash when the dog is off the owner’s premises, at any location within City limits? This enables the owner to be in immediate, continuous and effective control of the dog. Why? For the safety of other citizens and animals in the City, dog owners have a responsibility to have their dogs on a leash. Not everyone is a dog lover and some people may be afraid of dogs. Residents should be free and comfortable to enjoy the outdoor community, without fear of being approached by a dog that is at large, or from an attack by a dog that is at large.

Cease trade order against Coperstone Limited Partners The Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan (FCAA) has issued a Temporary Cease Trade Order against Coperstone Limited and Coperstone Partners Limited, which
appear to be operating an unregistered online securities and derivatives trading platform. “If a company or person appears to be in the business of selling securities or derivatives in Saskatchewan, they must
be registered,” FCAA Deputy Director of Enforcement Ed Rodonets said. “An investor should always check to see if these companies or people are registered at www.aretheyregistered.ca before they
invest. If they are not, it may be a scam and investors should not send any information or money.” A Saskatchewan resident opened an account on www.coperstone.com, and also provided Coperstone with a copy
of his driver’s license and a credit card statement. The resident was then contacted by a representative of Coperstone who sold and advised him on securities or derivatives. Coperstone Limited
and Coperstone Partners Limited are not registered to trade in or advise on securities or derivatives in Saskatchewan. Anyone contacted by Coperstone should contact the FCAA Securities Division at 306-787-5936.

Busted Camera 2: Electric Boogaloo By Sean Mott Staff Writer Months ago, I vanquished my pint-sized enemy, banishing him to obscurity on my desk. Now, as the temperature soars and BBQ fundraisers demand coverage, I’m discovering that he may be exacting a long-awaited revenge. Back in November, I inherited a new(ish) camera from a departing reporter. It was sleek, efficient, and functional. It was a godsend. For five months, I’d been weighed down by my puny, barely-operational camera. Its lens would slam shut for minutes at a time. Its battery died after two hours of use. Its flashbulb sputtered and flickered like it was trapped in the throes of death. I was all too happy to abandon this lousy camera on my desk as I embraced my glorious upgrade.
But now I fear my busted camera has passed on its curse to its successor. Last weekend was hectic. I darted around Yorkton like a man possessed. I had to cover fundraiser walks, skeet shooting competitions, soccer games, block parties, car shows, and cadet ceremonies. Covering enough events to fill the paper can feel like plugging a dozen leaking holes in a dam with your fingers. During such times, my camera is my best friend. I needed photos of everything that happened last weekend, but my handheld friend had other ideas. Things started out fine. I snapped pics all morning without any issues. But when I attended the charity soccer game at Logan Green in the afternoon, something went wrong. As a habit, I use the
SEAN MOTT
Settling in... auto-focus feature on my camera. It’s easy to take multiple photos of moving subjects when you don’t have to fret over the blurriness of the frame. As I aimed my camera at a soccer player, the lens didn’t focus. The image was faded and distorted. I pivoted to another player, zooming in close. Same story. The camera refused to focus. I switched the camera off and on, turning to the goaltender. She was as blurry as everyone else. I looked away from my lens to make sure I wasn’t going blind. Everything
on the field seemed crystal clear. My camera was lying to me. I swapped lenses and tried again. This time the camera focused on the soccer game. I returned to the original lens and it snapped photos in sharp
definition. I chalked the blurry episode down as a fluke and returned to my work. But it was no fluke. The next day, I attended the Cardinals baseball game. As I zoomed in on the pitcher, the lens did not focus on him. I’d left my spare lens at the office, so I was stuck with a blurry-obsessed camera. I had to manually focus the lens for every shot. I’d carefully layout the picture, slowly bring it into focus, and take a photo...just as the player ran out of the frame. I eventually managed to
snag a few decent pics, ending my photography work for the weekend. Now my camera sits on my desk next to its non-functional ancestor. The sins of the father have been visited upon the son. Perhaps I need to exorcise the blurry demons that reside in my camera, or draw them out like poison from a wound. My camera will return to its former glory. I won’t let it descend into darkness like its forebear. I will save it. Mostly because I’m too lazy to focus the lens myself.

Documentary filmmaker searches for veterans By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Filmmaker Eric Brunt was inspired by his grandfather. The late World War II veteran had many stories of his time in the war, but while Brunt was close with him, he didn’t have the chance to record them. “My grandpa actually acted in a few of my short films, but I never got the stories down.” He realized that an entire generation of veterans was getting old, and that if he wanted to have them tell their story, he could not wait; he would have to do it now. He’s going across Canada to interview as many veterans as possible to make a documentary about their time and experiences. Coming to the Yorkton area is especially important for Brunt because his own family is from the Stenen area. His grandfather was from Winnipeg and he met his grandmother there. Her two brothers were also in the war, one dying in Holland, the other flying
as a pilot. He wants to get back to the old family farm and see where they came from. The biggest challenge for Brunt is finding veterans to interview. He notes that as he travels across the country, he has been in contact with the Royal Canadian Legion branches down the route, museums, newspapers, and posting in social media in order to find people. “It’s interesting because each veteran you meet is completely different in terms of where he might have served... It’s also interesting how they each have different personalities. Some people take a little bit to come up to you or sharing some of their stories, while some you sit down and they start sharing these incredible stories and you’re like ‘hey, I need to hit record!’” The ultimate goal is to make a two hour documentary out of the interviews. Brunt has already learned a lot in the process of making the film. While he was familiar
Eric Brunt interviews Second World War veteran Fred Sutherland in Alberta. Fred Sutherland is one of only two remaining Dambusters in the world. Brunt is travelling across the country interviewing veterans as part of a documentary project. Submitted Photo. with the second world war, he says that the process of interviewing veterans has helped him learn a lot more and he hopes that the completed film does the same for
viewers. “Coming to this project, I knew my grandfather’s story, and two of my great uncles... It’s been amazing talking with some of these men
and hearing the events they experienced. My documentary is going to try to capture the emotion behind some of these stories.” If you are a WWII vet-
eran or know someone who is, Brunt would like to talk to you. He can be reached at 1-778-714-0071 or ericbruntmedia@ gmail.com.
Treating dads like they belong with their kids I remember once on a playground, my brother was there with his son, doing what you typically do with your kids – running around the playground equipment, encouraging them to try the slide, general dad stuff. I was there because I was hitching a ride to a cousin’s wedding, but given that we were travelling with a little kid we naturally had to take a bit of a break. Another family was at the playground, this one with a young girl around my nephew’s age. They ran around doing kid stuff. At one point, when my brother was helping his son with some playground feature, the little girl shouted at them, “stop looking at me!” “I’m not looking at you!” he shouted back. It was funny in the moment, but in some
ways spoke to a bigger problem in parenting. Dads taking their kids to events, to the playground, and to other family events are sometimes seen as being strange in some way. As my brother explained, he wanted to make it very clear that he wasn’t looking at the other kid just in case someone else in the playground was getting suspicious of him. What he was doing was normal, he was just a dad with his kid, but he still felt as though he had to make sure everyone knew that. The stereotype is that dads don’t typically go out with their kids, founded on years of pretty rigidly enforced gender roles. In the 1950s, sure, the dad wore suits, looked stern and went to work. Mom wore dresses and took kids all over the
DEVIN WILGER
Thinking I do with words... country. It’s no longer the 1950s however, and we are at the point where having dads at parenting programs, on the playground, and other places where kids congregate should feel natural. Given that both parents typically work, it should not be quite so weird to see a male parent taking their kid to the park. After all, the person caring for the kid is typically the person who can, rather than specifically the mom or the dad.

Given that the makeup of families is shifting around a lot more now than it was in the 1950s,
it’s getting progressively stranger that we have clung to the stereotype that it’s the domain of mothers to do the majority of the work in a child’s life. But, in Yorkton at least, there are signs we’re moving on from that mindset. The Family Resource Centre is starting a program for dads, and they do have a core group of fathers who visit regularly. It’s important that dads have a place to
go where they don’t feel weird for doing something that should be the most natural thing in the world, spending time with their kids. That there was even risk that they might feel out of place in a family center shows that we need to appreciate our nation’s fathers more. At the very least, they shouldn’t be accused of being out of place when on the playground with their kids.

SCS CPAP Services
Sleep apnea, a condition that is characterized by frequent breaks or pauses in breathing during sleep, is one of the most common sleep disorders in Canada. It may sound scary, but research suggests that up to 25% of the population may suffer from it in some form. Fortunately, there’s help on hand in the form of SCS CPAP Services, a locally owned and operated sleep clinic with more than 28 years of Respiratory Health experience. One of few companies in Saskatchewan providing service dedicated to Sleep Apnea, SCS CPAP Services offers free consultations and in-home sleep apnea testing. They also provide a range of treatment options including a variety of CPAP masks, humidifiers and other accessories that are designed to help sufferers cope with sleep apnea. Thanks to growing de-
mand from their customers, the company recently opened a new Yorkton office, a move that’s been something of a homecoming for owner Randy Spilchen. “Despite being born and raised in Alberta I spent almost every summer here when I was growing up, so Yorkton is like a second home to me,” Spilchen says. “That’s why I’m excited to bring my respiratory health and sleep apnea experience to the area. For too long local sufferers have been under serviced and so I wanted to give them the treatment and attention that they deserved right here on their doorstep.” While the opportunity to expand into Yorkton is a proud moment for Randy, it’s not how he chooses to measure his company’s success. Instead, it’s just another opportunity to help the customers who are
the driving force behind his business. “Our customer care is what separates us from our competition,” he says. “We have grown because we try to provide the best care and advice to all our patients and pride ourselves on the patient referrals that have got us to where we are today.” However, that commitment to customer care is more than just lip service. Alongside their free testing and consultations, the company also offers 30-day mask exchange and 90-day manufacturer’s warranty on every product they sell, so that you can sleep easy knowing you’re in safe hands every step of the way. For more information, visit their clinic at #9 – Fifth Ave. North, www. saskatoon-cpap.ca, or call 306-783-0034 to book your free appointment.

Don’t let eating insects bug you Recently I was on one of the more notable social media sites and there was a post that was drawing a lot of attention (mostly disgust). The post was about baking bread containing flour made from ground-up cockroaches. Most people showed little interest in even trying the bread based on curiosity. In North America, the idea of consuming insects as part of our regular diets is admittedly foreign. The reason is probably as simple as the fact we have not needed to munch on insects because there is an abundance of what we see as better choices. We have solidly
placed insects into the “icky” and “eww” compartment of our brains. It is, however, rather ironic to think that so many of us enjoy shrimp, and are willing to pay rather high prices for lobster, which are both essentially ‘sea bugs’ that scurry around the ocean floor foraging for food among whatever happens to have passed through a fish as it swam by overhead. In terms of “eww,” people might want to follow some free-range chickens one day and see just what they are willing to peck at for food. And let us not forget that many cheeses are

that a large number of insects are quite edible, from certain types of scorpions and cockroaches through to flies, bees, and mealworms. Now, you would certainly want to be knowledgeable regarding source and preparation of any bugs, although that is good advice for anything we eat, but
the take away here is that insects could be a source of food moving forward. Two things are part of our current reality: our world population is growing, and the arable land base to grow food upon is shrinking. If those two things continue, one day farming will not be able to feed the world. Enter bugs stage right. Many insects have surprisingly high nutritional value, the aforementioned cockroach flours being a good source of added protein. The flour made of cockroaches developed by two scientists from
the Federal University of Rio Grande in Brazil contains 40 per cent more protein than normal wheat flour. In terms of feeding the world that may become significant, especially since insects can often be raised on foodstuffs not directly in competition with humans, and they require less room and produce less waste than traditional livestock. So it may not be that long before a legitimate farm will be raising cockroaches, mealworms and crickets to help feed the world.
Make sure you are covered The deadline for Crop Insurance customers to submit their Seeded Acreage Reports and Stored Grain Declarations is fast approaching. The Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) is reminding producers of the peace of mind their insurance can provide when Seeded Acreage Reports are completed and filed by
the June 25 deadline. By completing and submitting the required information by the deadline, producers are ensuring they have accurate Crop Insurance coverage. Stored grain must also be reported by the June 25 deadline. Failing to report old production can result in future claims being reduced as old production will be calculated as new.
Submitting a seeded acreage report and stored grain declaration is simple when producers file online using CropConnect. CropConnect provides secure access, from a home computer or mobile device, allowing producers to submit information online as they seed or when time is most convenient. Through the new land naming feature
on CropConnect, producers can now organize and report their acres by adding field names, linking multiple fields together or splitting fields. SCIC understands the weather in Saskatchewan varies across the province. Producers with land that is too wet to seed must call their local Crop Insurance office by the June 25 deadline to
file an unseeded acreage claim. For producers with crops that fail to adequately establish, the deadline to submit an establishment benefit claim is June 20. If a producer wants to reseed or work down a portion of the insured crop, they must contact their local Crop Insurance office immediately, as an adjuster must inspect those acres before
reseeding can occur. Customers can also submit Seeded Acreage Reports and Stored Grain Declarations to SCIC by phone, mail, fax or by visiting a local Crop Insurance office. For more information, producers can contact their local Crop Insurance office, call 1-888-935-0000 or go to saskcropinsurance.com.
Crop Report: Much needed rain helping Rain across most of the province has helped to alleviate dry topsoil moisture conditions. Areas in the southeast, which was one of the drier regions over the past couple of months, received large amounts that caused flooding. The moisture will help to replenish pasture and encourage hay growth. Seeding operations
are mostly complete, but there are a few fields being seeded for green feed and silage. Germination is patchy in some regions due to dry conditions, but the recent rain has helped. The northwestern region reported large amounts of rain this week. The St. Walburg area recorded 154 mm and the Barthel 93 mm.
In the southwest, areas around Hazenmore received 100 mm. Areas around Lucky Lake, Outlook, Shaunavon, Dinsmore and Rosetown remain very dry, having received less than 25 mm of rain since April 1. Topsoil moisture conditions have improved in much of the province, thanks to the recent rainfall. Provincially, topsoil
moisture conditions on cropland are rated as nine per cent surplus, 73 per cent adequate, 16 per cent short and two per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as six per cent surplus, 68 per cent adequate, 15 per cent short and 11 per cent very short. Crop conditions have improved with the recent
moisture. The majority of crops are in good to fair condition. Provincially, 74 per cent of spring cereals, 70 per cent of oilseeds and 76 per cent of pulse crops are at normal stages of development for this time of year. Strong winds are slowing down in-crop weed control operations. The majority of crop
damage this past week was due to localized flooding, lack of moisture, hail, strong winds and insects such as flea beetles and cutworms. A complete, printable version of the Crop Report is available online at www.saskatchewan.ca/crop-report. Follow the 2018 Crop Report on Twitter at @ SKAgriculture.
APAS pleased with Churchill railway deal The president of APAS has written to federal government Ministers commending them for reaching an agreement in principle to facilitate the transfer of ownership of the Hudson Bay Rail line and Port of Churchill. “The Port of Churchill’s future success is very important to Saskatchewan agricul-
tural producers,” Lewis wrote. “Churchill is the closest tide water port for a significant grain growing region in North East Saskatchewan. The Port provides favourable access to European and African markets and will likely be the only port in Canada to offer independent grain handling and vessel loading services.”
Lewis continued that APAS is pleased to see the transfer of ownership occurring with the recent passage of Bill C-49 the Transportation Modernization Act. “We believe the provisions in Bill C-49 will improve rail service to all ports in Canada, including the Port of Churchill.” APAS Vice President
Ian Boxall of Tisdale believes an important part of the deal to ensure the Port of Churchill’s commercial success is a plan for the rehabilitation and re-opening of CN’s Tisdale Subdivision from Crooked River to Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan. This line is currently inactive. “The closure of the Tisdale Subdivision
requires g rain from North East Saskatchewan to travel hundreds of kilometres further than necessary to reach the rail head at the Pas, Manitoba,” Boxall explained. “Once the port reopens for grain shipments, we are concerned that these additional freight costs will continue to undermine Churchill’s com-
mercial potential.” APAS has also written to senior management at Canadian National Railways to stress the importance of the Tisdale rail line and to request comment on a plan to restore service that would support the Hudson Bay Railway and Port of Churchill.

A honey of a film about nearby bees Thursday, Jun. 21 is the longest day of the year for 2018. What do you have planned? Perhaps you will have a summer solstice barbeque, or maybe a marathon gardening session! What is the summer solstice? It is when the sun passes its highest point as it journeys across the sky, and the earth’s tilt towards the sun is at its maximum. It’s a terrific day of the most sunlight we will have all year. Enjoy it! Just a note: have you planted any flowers for the bees? It’s still not too late to add a few plants here or there in your garden, or add a container of bright blooms for the bees to enjoy. If you want some wonderful viewing about bees, head over to the Yorkton Film Festival office (located on the ground floor of the Godfrey Dean building on Smith Street) and borrow the film about Howland’s Honey. This was a great film (and an award winner!) at this year’s Yorkton Film Festival, and is so informative about the bees and the painstaking and loving work that goes into beekeeping. Please do take time to see this film, it’s just great! While you’re there, ask the staff about other hor t icult u re -relat ed films that you can borrow, just like library books, and view them in the comfort of home when you come in and finally sit down after a full gardening day. They’re on DVD; you just watch them and return them! If you want to call ahead and find out more, the number is (306) 7827077. Isn’t this a glorious time of year? Every day there is something new coming up or blooming. Try to keep a gardening journal; it doesn’t have to contain long entries, but just nuggets of information like “first iris bloomed today” or a list of the birds you noticed in your yard on a certain
DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
Gardener’s Notebook day. It makes interesting reading later in the year on a cold winter day, and it’s interesting to compare garden progress from year to year. As we were talking about bees, a shrub that looks beautiful and is bee-friendly is the mock orange. We are coming up to the time when this amazing shrub will be in bloom, covered in delicate white blooms. The plants are quite carefree: they like full sun but can stand a bit of shade, and like well-drained soil. There don’t seem to be any particular pests that favor the mock orange. If you want to give them a treat, you can give them a dose of fertilizer. If you’re thinking of adding a mock orange to your yard, it would be a beautiful, long-lasting addition. The shrubs can range in size from three feet to ten feet or more. At our last horticultural meeting, there was a question about mock orange shrubs that are not blooming and why, and when should they be trimmed. The answer to both questions comes in one answer: proper pruning. Mock oranges should be trimmed right
after blooming because they set their buds in the fall for the following year. If you wait until fall to trim them, you will likely be snipping away the flowers that have been already set. Whatever shrub or tree you choose, do your homework and always ask for the expert advice at the greenhouse on what shrubs or trees are best suited to the size and layout of your yard. Some new yards are quite small and can’t really handle a large tree. Even shrubs can quickly grow from cute little round mounds to competing shrubs vying for space against your house or in an island. We probably have all made the mistake of planting something that gets too big for the space, and after that gardening lesson, it is easy to see the mistake happening in other yards. So please plant, but plant with thought, care and information! Visit the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society at www.yorktonhort.ca and see what’s new! Have a great week, and be sure to wear a hat!

My close call is not my story alone Maybe you were in one of the northbound cars I met on Highway Nine between eight and eight-thirty that Monday morning. You couldn’t have known, and neither could I, that with every rotation, all five bolts on my front tire, driver’s side, got looser. That at any moment every single one would shear off and send the tire flying into the northbound lane. You couldn’t have known. But God did. With impeccable timing, he arranged for the tire to stay on until I’d
stopped at the light and it turned green again. Crossing the intersection, I felt my side of the car drop suddenly and heard the nauseating sound of metal grinding on pavement. I watched, horrified, as my tire bounced out from under me and wove its way through traffic. As though guided by an invisible hand, it reached the other side still upright and disappeared into the ditch. This isn’t my story alone. I’ve realized that strongly in the two days since it happened. It’s yours too. For every one

of us has been protected from danger, some we never realized we faced. It’s also God’s story – a story of love and grace and Divine protection. I enjoy reading and writing poetry. Some
things are best said that way. This is one. I Wish I Knew the Reason I wish I knew the reason God kept me safe today. I wish I knew just why
he chose protection over harm. I wish I’d caught a glimpse of his strong and loving arm. I wish I’d seen the angels bending low. I wish I’d seen His finger pointing where to go. I wonder why God made the choice to keep me safe today. Another hour, another day, another time will come, When angels play a different role, and God’s arms take me home. All life here ends and sparrows fall and God sees every one.

But today he chose to catch me and I’m free to fly again. Though I wish I knew just why God kept me safe today. With grateful heart I testify to his amazing grace. Today he stopped this sparrow’s fall and I live to sing his praise. He always has his reasons, plans I cannot see, So I’ll sing because I’m happy, I’ll sing because I’m free. But I’d love to know the reason God kept me safe today.
What’s Happening in Sask Parks This Summer Saskatchewan Provincial Parks have an exciting summer lined up for guests of all ages. Calendars with special event and program details are now available online so that visitors can plan their trips ahead of time and enjoy the wide range of activities offered. “We want guests to make the most of their time spent exploring our parks,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Gene Makowsky said. “Offering a variety of unique programs and activities is an important part of that. Park programs keep kids active, provide fun and entertainment and help visitors connect to nature and learn about Saskatchewan’s wonderful parks.” Several parks have an assortment of daily drop-in programs scheduled throughout July and
August. Each park offers activities that are different from the last, from group-led games, crafts, stories and sand castle contests to campfire singalongs, sunset paddles and special musical performances. Whether visiting the park for the day or staying for the full week, everyone is welcome to participate in the park programs and events. SaskExpress will be touring the parks again in July, showcasing the extraordinary talents of young Saskatchewan performers in this year’s Circus of Life show. Performances are scheduled for Candle Lake, Great Blue Heron, Pike Lake, Rowan’s Ravine, Greenwater Lake, Duck Mountain, Moose Mountain and Saskatchewan Landing provincial parks. The popular Learn to
Fish program is back this summer with sessions on July 7, 14 and 15 in six different parks, free of charge. With expert anglers, Jason Matity and Jeff Matity, participants will learn fishing basics including fish identification, how to pack a tackle box, cleaning, filleting and more. New this year is Sask Parks’ province-wide BioBlitz, from July 15-21. The week-long virtual blitz is dedicated to discovering all the plants, wildlife and bugs that are found in each provincial park. Guests can participate in this exciting discovery challenge by simply downloading the required app, iNaturalist, to their smartphone. More information on SaskExpress, Learn to Fish and Sask Parks BioBlitz are available at www.tourismsaskatch-
ewan.com/places-to-go/ provincial-parks/activities. Campers can also
find individual park event and program calendars online, or they can

Rubicon supports Health Foundation The Health Foundation is pleased to announce that Rubicon Pharmacies has made a significant donation of $10,000 in support of the residents in our long-term care homes throughout east central Saskatchewan. Rubicon has further pledged to make this donation on an annual basis. “We
are grateful to Rubicon for this very generous donation and for their desire to work with the Foundation to improve the care available in our region,” said Ross Fisher, Executive Director of the Health Foundation. “Rubicon has a strong presence in east central Saskatchewan,”
said Chris Fedorowich, Director of Long Term Care for Rubicon Pharmacies. “Each of our local pharmacies have longstanding relationships with the region and the long-term care homes in each community. These stores continue to be the focal point and face of the relationship with staff, residents, and
their families. We are an integral part of the fabric in each community, something very important to us, and we look forward to continuing that legacy for years to come.” “We are very proud to support the needs of local healthcare in the community, through resident programs, infrastructure investments,
equipment, and technology. This donation is just another way we can help our residents live better, live longer, and live healthier,” continued Mr. Fedorowich. “Rubicon operates pharmacies in Canora, Esterhazy, Ituna, Kamsack, Langenburg, Melville, and Yorkton under both
the Pharmasave and PharmaChoice banners. We’ve re-invested heavily into each of our local markets, and our teams are committed to advancing both resident safety and care, as well as working collaboratively with the region and our care home partners for many years to come,” said Mr. Fedorowich.
New equipment for ENT screening clinic Dr. Grant Wright expressed his appreciation to the Health Foundation for a new laryngoscope, worth $10,800. “The previous scope lasted 20 years and was probably used on 10,000 patients. This scope is still the best way to detect early throat cancer, and the new scope is brighter and clearer and will assist us in detecting throat cancer.” “The importance of such a scope which we use in the Yorkton ENT screening clinic is increasing with the rapid rise in HPV throat cancer,” said Dr. Wright. “We are now told that 70% of the population will become HPV positive at
some time.” In Canada, the present incidence of HPV throat cancer is now 35/100,000/year. This means as many as 350 new cases will occur in Saskatchewan on a yearly basis. The incidence is now higher than HPV cervical cancer. There is no PAP test, however, to detect premalignant changes in the throat. The incidence of this type of throat cancer is expected to continue to rise at 3% per year for the next 20 years before vaccination of boys and girls will take effect. In several conferences, which I have been at recently, we were told that it will be around the year 2060 before the beneficial
effects of vaccinations will be seen in boys and girls,” said Dr. Wright. Dr. Wright is an ear, nose and throat specialist and he accepts referrals from family physicians in the area who feel their patients may need to see a specialist. Dr. Wright operates his ENT clinic in Yorkton one week each month and sees approximately 30 to 35 patients a day. We are very fortunate that Dr. Wright is willing to travel to Yorkton and operate his ENT clinic. If he were not willing to provide this service patients around this region would have to travel to Regina or

Cardinals taste victory, defeat in back-to-back games By Sean Mott Staff Writer The Yorkton Cardinals experienced the exhilarating highs of victory and the crushing lows of defeat in back-to-back home games on Sunday and Monday. The Cardinals defeated the Melville Millionaires on June 17 before falling to the Swift Current 57s in dominating fashion on Jun. 18 at Jubilee Park. Yorkton walked into their Sunday game against Melville with a psychological advantage, having bested the rival team on their home turf earlier in the week. The Cardinals set the tone when Thirus Jones scored a run in the first inning. Melville responded with a run of their own in the second. The Cardinals roared back in the third inning, as Griffey Halle and Clyde Yeh both scored runs. The Cardinals solidified their lead in the fifth inning when Ryne Niemi made it back to home base. Melville tried to
mount a comeback in the ninth inning by scoring a run, but it was too little, too late. The Cardinals won the game 4-2.
rally with runs in the second and the ninth, but the Cardinals held onto their mammoth lead, winning the game 15-2.
“We’re starting to play better baseball,” said assistant coach Brady Hohl.
They weren’t so dominating when they met the undefeated Weyburn Beavers in a nail-biter on June 15.
Yorkton wasn’t so lucky on June 18 when they squared off against the Swift Current 57s. The overwhelming 57s led the pace of the game for the full nine innings, socring run after run. The Cardinals struggled to keep up, only managing to snag one run. The 57s walked away with a 12-1 victory over the home team. “We’ve got to attack more early on,” Hohl said. “Our team’s built around offense. “We’ll get there.” Road Games The Cardinals played two games outside of Yorkton last week. They decimated Melville on Jun. 12, earning their most impressive victory of the season. The Cardinals scored six runs in the second inning and never looked back. Melville tried to
The first four innings were relatively quiet as neither team could get on the board. Everything changed in the fifth when Yorkton and Weyburn each scored runs. The Cardinals maintained their momentum in the sixth inning, scoring two runs to the Beavers’ one.
In spite of the Cardinals getting on the board first, the Swift Current 57s won 12-1.
Unfortunately, the game fell apart for the team in the ninth, as the Beavers snagged two runs while the Cardinals couldn’t respond in kind. The Weyburn Beavers won 4-3. The Cardinals faced the 57s again on Tuesday night. Results weren’t available as of press time. Up Next The Cardinals will face the Regina Red Sox at Jubilee Park on Thursday, June 21.
Yorkton raced ahead of the Melville Millionaires on their Sunday game, winning 4-2.
Yankees come out on top against Brewers By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The South East Senior Baseball League’s Yorkton E&S Yankees met the Back Forty Brewers for a second time on June 13. While their first match against the Brewers was a blowout for the Yankees, the
second match saw a much tighter contest, and the Yankees won 3-2 in the end. The Yankees were the first on the board in the 2nd inning, but it was the fourth that saw the majority of the scoring, with both teams getting two runs.
Mark Jacobs with the Yankees admits that they were down a few players, but it was a fast, challenging game and the Brewers played well. “The guys battled pretty hard to come out victorious. Credit to the Brewers, they’re a young team and presented us

with a challenge.” The game was the kind of game a team wants to play, Jacobs said, because you learn more in a tight contest than you do in a lopsided one, whether you’re on the winning side or not. “Everyone’s kind of on their toes when the score
is close. You get an idea too of who can play when it’s a close game and who needs more focus.” Jacobs admits that they expected the middle stretch of the season to be the easier stretch of the season. “But you still have to go out and do it.”
The next game will be against the Parkland Padres on Wednesday, June 20. The Padres are an older team that plays a half season in the league. Jacobs hopes to try some new things against them and try out players in some new positions against the team.

Fancy footwork Soccer players competed for more than field glory on Saturday. The Yorkton United Football Club (YUFC) hosted a day-long tournament at Logan Green on Jun. 16. Players from Yorkton and Canora raised over $200 for breast cancer
research and awareness. In the past seven years, YUFC has raised more than $10,000 for breast cancer research through its tournaments.
Saskatchewan to be home of hoops Professional basketball appears headed to Saskatchewan. As you might well have guessed as you read the opening line of this column, it’s not a National Basketball Association franchise. I doubt the NBA even has Saskatchewan in its long list of places where a franchise could one day go. While it seems probable the NBA could grow from its 30 team size successfully given the popularity of the sport, there is little to indicate expansion is on the agenda, although I did see a YouTube video not long ago listing 15 North American cities worthy of a team. But back to the team headed to Saskatchewan, or more specifically a Saskatoon-based team which will carry the provincial name, much like the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the Canadian Football League and the Saskatchewan Rush in the National Lacrosse League. The new team is one of six listed on the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) website, a new league starting play in May 2019, joining franchises in Edmonton, Hamilton, Niagara, Guelph, and Fraser Valley. The CEBL will be a summer basketball league, which is the first thing I wonder about in terms of fan interest. In Saskatchewan in the summer time, its Roughriders and the lake which have long held people’s interest in the season that seems just too short. Will fans be willing
to head indoors to watch basketball? Certainly, in large part because of the success on the court and in marketing by the Toronto Raptors, there is more interest in the sport today than when the Saskatchewan Storm played in the long defunct World Basketball League from 1990 to 1992, so that is a positive to draw on. But, at least for me, I still see basketball as a winter sport, right there alongside hockey in terms of season. I tend to find sports which bleed their seasons beyond my sort of internal sports biorhythm off-putting. That is why interest in the Stanley Cup is near zero in late May and early June, a situation which could only be altered by a favourite team involved. Casual interest is simply not there in prime outdoor activity months. Of course, proving that life is often a thing of contradictions, I can find summer hours to watch the Canadian Football League, so the new CEBL team may do well. It is certainly being launched as an eventbased league. The CEBL appears to be looking at a schedule of 20-games, which would line up as two home and two away games against each team in the loop. Selling 10 homes games as being special events to attend, dressed up with tailgate parties and pre-game entertainment, just might fly. As a counterpoint, though, basketball has always been like hockey, about longer seasons and lots of games to keep fans focused, so how a short-

Opinion season will work will be interesting to watch. The games will be quick ones. The CEBL are planning to play using International Basketball Federation (FIBA) rules, which most notably play only 10-minute quar-
ters. Using FIBA rules will likely aid European player recruitment and could help in developing Canadian players for international play, which are both good things in principle. In many ways, the

CEBL looks like it will mirror the existing National Basketball League of Canada (NBL Canada), which is a 10-team league based in the Maritimes and Ontario, which plays a season ending in May. Logically, the two leagues should find common ground for a merger to create one Canadawide league, but I doubt that happens any time soon. I will watch the emergence of Saskatchewan’s CEBL team with interest. A naming contest is apparently forthcoming, and fans here have
to be able to do better than the Hamilton Honey Badgers, which was already unveiled. Hopefully, games will be online, as the chances of making 10 trips to Saskatoon for basketball games, even in summer, will not be on my list of things to do in 2019, although an excursion for a game or two may well be. While about a zillion miles from the NBA in terms of basketball, the CEBL could carve a niche for Saskatchewan basketball fans craving some live games to cheer for.

Joggers train for marathon
B3
By Sean Mott Staff Writer Marie Hawreluik and her son Kelson joined the Yorkton running clinic to get outside, exercise, and meet new people. Marie enjoys it, but there’s one part of the program she didn’t count on. “My son keeps beating me [at races],” she said. “But it’s okay. “We’re together.”
enjoying
it
Marie and Kelson are part of the 10-kilometer running clinic. Other runners participate in five-kilometer and halfmarathon clinics. They’re preparing for the Health Foundation’s 2018 Charity Road Race on Aug. 19 in Yorkton. The running clinics are designed to prepare joggers for the marathon. They’re drawing to a close later this month. Bernie Wlock, the cofounder of the Yorkton Pacers Running Club and a clinic instructor, said the five-kilometer clinic had a smaller enrollment than previous years, but the other clinics saw decent numbers.
Joggers hit the pavement at the running clinic on Jun. 12
“The other groups are doing really well,” he said. “We’ve had a really good turnout this year.”
Wlock started habitually jogging 30 years ago. He enjoys the routine his hobby provides.
The clinics began on May 1. Runners met at Yorkton Regional High School on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Instructors led their groups on routes on race tracks and through Yorkton.
“Jogging is habit forming,” he said. “You get addicted to it.”
“We had a good summer,” Wlock said. While the clinics are winding down for the season, running addicts can still get their fix at Tuesday and Thursday jogging meetups every week in the lead-up to the marathon. The meetups are free and open to anyone. Wlock said the clinic runners should attend the meetups to maintain their running standards. “If they quit now,
they’ve wasted two months of training,” he said.
Kelson Hawreluik is new to the jogging game, but he made a big impression on the running clinic. “He’s quite the character,” Wlock said. “He can pretty much outrun anyone in the 10-kilometer group.” Kelson enjoys the simple pleasures of jogging. “[I like] how the wind feels on my face [when I run],” he said. Anyone who wishes to register for the Road Race can contact the Health Foundation at 306-786-0506 or 1-800-6363243. They can also register online at www.events. runningroom.com.

Charity Golf Classic Raises $66,147 for Medical Equipment Yorkton – The 19th Annual Charity Golf Classic held at Deer Park Golf Course in Yorkton on June 7 was a huge success with golfers and sponsors raising money to buy medical equipment for five facilities in the region. The tournament is able to raise funds because of golfers who collect pledges, and business sponsors who cover the tournament costs. “Our presenting sponsors who did a great job organizing the tournament this year,” said Ross Fisher. “The Presenting Sponsors each donate $3,000 and also help organize the Charity Golf Classic.” The presenting sponsors are Mosaic Potash Esterhazy, SaskTel, Louis Dreyfus Company and the Credit Unions of East Central Saskatchewan. “We like how this tournament is run, with the proceeds going to medical facilities throughout the health region, where many of our clients, customers and employees live” said Robyn Pflanzer of Cornerstone Credit Union.
“Healthcare is a good cause, because eventually everyone will use the healthcare system, and when we need it we want good facilities and equipment.” The business community provides great support for the charity Golf Classic with 48 businesses providing sponsorship. Sponsorship covers the cost of the tournament so that 100% of the funds raised by golfers can be used to buy medical equipment. The top three fundraisers this year were: 1. Gene Krepakevich who raised $8,250; 2. Kris Sapara who raised $7,150; 3. Ken Chyz who raised $5,320. The top fundraising team was Gene Krepakevich, Ken Chyz, Bruce Hansen and Bill Prybylski, who raised $14,780. The Health Foundation extends a very sincere thank you to each and every golfer for their tremendous efforts to raise funds to improve healthcare in our com-

RCMP continue Humboldt investigation By Sean Mott Staff Writer The Saskatchewan RCMP have provided an update on the ongoing investigation into the Humboldt Broncos bus tragedy. Two months after the fatal bus crash claimed 16 lives, people still have questions about the accident. While investigators have yet to release any concrete conclusions, they’re staying in close contact with the victims’
families. The Collision Reconstruction Team and the Major Crimes Unit are studying every piece of evidence and data they find. Collision reconstruction analysis is a big part of the investigation. When it’s finished, the analysis will be peer reviewed to validate its conclusions. Investigators will consulate with the Crown at the end of the investigation.
“We are all anxious to learn the results of this investigation to assist in understanding what led to this terrible tragedy,” said Derek Williams, the officer in charge of Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes, in a press release. “We are committed to sharing the outcome of the investigation as soon as we can.” Saskatchewan RCMP could not provide an estimated end date for the investigation at this time.

KONJOLKA - Mrs. Stella Konjolka of Yorkton, SK passed away peacefully Thursday, June 14, 2018 at the Yorkton & District Nursing Home. She was 89 years and 9 months of age. Stella was born on Sept 7, 1928 on the family homestead in the Hazel Dell, SK district to Frank and Katie (nee Matsalla) Wionzek, the 9th of 12 children. Stella attended Halacry School, 3 miles east of her family farm. She quit school in grade 5 to help on her family farm. In 1949 she met Walter Konjolka at a dance. They were married on October 16, 1950 at St. Anthony’s Roman Catholic Church in Rama, SK and made their home on Walter’s original homestead, 6 miles south of Okla, SK and there they raised their family of five children. Stella was a great seamstress, sewing without patterns and making outfits for all her children and her mother. She kept an enormous garden to feed her big family and would spend hours tending to it. Stella was an exceptional cook. The meals she would prepare for family get togethers would ensure that no one ever went home hungry. Stella was known for her tasty perogies, cabbage rolls and meatballs but best remembered for her famous cinnamon buns. When often asked “How do you make such good cinnamon buns?” She would say “Well if you did it for 50 years, you would be good too”. She made sure she passed on her recipes and baking knowledge to her children and grandchildren. In October 1978 Stella and Willie moved to Okla, SK where they built a house on an acreage and began their retirement. You would find them playing canasta with the neighbours or driving to bingo 3 times a week. She was a faithful parishioner of St. Theresa’s Roman Catholic Church in Lintlaw, SK. On July 1, 1995, Stella and Willie moved to Yorkton, SK and became parishioners of St. Gerard’s Roman Catholic Church. Stella and Willie became regulars at A & W, going for breakfast every morning, making new friends on coffee row. When Willie passed Feb 21, 2000, Stella continued her coffee breaks, going out every Wednesday morning with her daughters. She still would host family get togethers on special holidays until March 2014 when she moved into the Nursing Home. She made many more friends on her ward with the residents, aids and nurses. On early Thursday morning, June 14, 2018, she passed away peacefully. Predeceased by her husband Willie, her parents Frank and Katie Wionzek, sisters Helen, Nellie, Emily, brothers Stanley, Marion, Joe, Steve, Walter in infancy and Ben; Stella leaves to cherish her memory, son Ron (Gloria) Ituna, SK, daughter Karen (Norm) Koshman, daughter Marie (Ron) Woloshyn, son Jim and daughter Geraldine (David) Burym, all of Yorkton, SK; 12 grandchildren; Les (Chantelle), Ron Jr (Danielle), Charlotte (Dean), Greg, Terry (Kathy), Ryan (Eileen), Natasha (Brennan), Melissa, Rachelle, Richard (Nicole), Braden and Adam and 8 great-grandchildren. Stella also leaves her sister, Mary Sochan, her brother Walter and wife Grace, her sister-in-laws Florence Wionzek, Mary Wionzek and Rose Konjolka and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. A Prayer Vigil was held on Sunday, June 17, 2018 at St. Gerard’s Roman Catholic Church in Yorkton with Mary Bybliw leading the prayers. Pianist, Chris Fisher, led the choir in singing the hymns, “Like a Shepherd”, “Psalm 23” and “Day is Done”. The Funeral Mass was held on Monday, June 18, 2018 at St. Gerard’s Roman Catholic Church with Rev. Fr. Louis Kim Nguyen as the Celebrant. The pianist, Diana Hornung, led the choir in singing the hymns. Honourary bearers were Charlotte Konjolka, Natasha Konjolka, Melissa Konjolka and Rachelle Konjolka.

LITTMAN - Larry attended country school in Graham, later attending Saltcoats School and graduated from Yorkton Regional High School in 1970. At the YRHS he was part of the champion football team and band which he played the tuba. Later he attended Saskatchewan Roughrider and Regina Rams training camps. He briefly attended Red River College for computer technology and then went to work for the Canadian Postal Service in Winnipeg before returning back to the farm to operate it with his father and brother. Larry married Lynn Irvine in Winnipeg, MB on November 17, 1973. They were blessed with 3 children, a daughter Amanda in October 27, 1974, Robert in August 31, 1975 and Adam in June 26, 1981. He commenced the farming with his family with the introduction of a feedlot and slaughter plant to the existing operation. After his father passed away in 1983, Larry, his mother, brother Allan Blake and sister Jean ran the farm. His son Robert joined the operation in 1994. In 2007, Larry and Rob split their portion of the operation from the rest of the family and his youngest son Adam joined. At the time of his death the farming operation grew to 5,300 acres of pedigreed seed, grain and oilseed with beef cattle. In addition to running the farm, Larry help operated a retail store, “The House”, in Yorkton which specialized in seed, feed, gardening supplies, livestock supplies, tack and western wear up to its closure in 2014. Larry was active locally in the Saltcoats Agricultural Society, Saltcoats Minor Sports, Saltcoats Boy Scouts and Saltcoats UGG board. Larry joined the Saskatchewan Seed Growers Association in 1978, later serving as Director and President. From 1997 to 2008, he represented Saskatchewan on the National Canadian Seed Grower Board and was the CSGA representative to Western Grain Research foundation (WGRF) from 2004 to 2010. He was Chairman of the University of Saskatchewan Crop Development Centre Advisory Committee and a founding member of both the Seager Wheeler Grain Show and Saskatchewan Crop Production Week. Larry continued to innovate in his field and in 1991 was one of the founding members of Value Added Seeds, a new seed marketing company, which is now known as FP Genetics. Larry will best be remembered by all as the large man with an even larger heart. He was like a celebrity wherever he went. At seed grower meetings, where many of his fellow growers stated, he was like a king holding court, Larry would find a comfortable spot and everyone would be drawn to him. In fact, he was like this everywhere - people were always drawn to him, whether it was a business meeting, coffee shop, or auction sale - also known as some of his favourite hangouts. Larry was quite the social butterfly and could talk with anyone about anything. He would question you until he found a common ground and then a lifelong bond would be made. He loved collecting things - all sorts of things - from pins of places he’s been, to his latest love, antique tractors. Larry had a lot of passions, the pedigree seed industry being near and dear to his heart, his passion of flying that he took up in his forties, until they took his license 2007 (which if you talked to him he would have told you what he thought about that!), riding his Harley, driving his convertible and spending time with his grandchildren which he took great pride in. He was always a very genuine person and never scared to tell you what was on his mind. He will be truly missed by all. Larry was predeceased by father Adoph Rene Littman, mother Rhoda (nee Blake), sister Shirley Werle, brother-in-law Gerry Werle, brother-inlaw Bob Wong, father-in-law, William Irvine and mother-in-law Helen (nee Burns). Larry leaves to mourn, his wife, Lynn Littman, daughter Amanda Littman, son Robert Littman (Amy K), son Adam Littman (Terrie), grandkids Emma and Kirk, sister Jean Littman, brother Allan Blake Littman (Elaine), in-laws Tom and Dana Irvine, Bill and Carla Irvine, Lorna Wong and numerous nieces and nephews.

BOYCHUK - Ron was born in Yorkton, SK to Matt and Olga Boychuk on May 20, 1956. He passed away in Regina on Sunday, June 10, 2018. Ron spent his childhood on the family farm in the Whitesand District and then moved to Yorkton with his parents. In 1971, after the death of Matt, a lot of responsibility fell to Ron and his mother, Olga. Ron started working at Morris Industries as a young man and stayed there as a dedicated employee his entire career. He lived to work and when he wasn’t at Morris he could be found helping family and friends with various building projects. In 2016, he retired and enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren at family barbecues and get togethers. He will be missed by his wife, Wendy, and their children Ryan (Krista), Bryan (Lindsey) and Erin (David), grandchildren Ruby, Landon, Emma and Deacon and the one on the way. His siblings, Richard (Deb), Sharron (David) and Russel (Kathy), numerous nieces, nephews and their extended family. Ron was a hardworking, dedicated family man who will be greatly missed. Donations may be made in Ron’s name to the Regina Hospital Foundation. In accordance with Ron’s wishes, cremation has taken place and no service will be held.
HAYWARD - Mrs. Aileen Hayward of Yorkton, formerly of the Atwater district, widow of Alan Hayward, entered eternal life on June 13, 2018 at the age of 86 years. Aileen Hayward (Cornell) was born on September 14, 1931, the only child of John and Anna Cornell. She received her education at Maybridge and Pelly schools before attending Normal School to become a teacher. She taught at a variety of schools, including Shamrock, Fertile Belt, Lake Mona, Atwater and Esterhazy. On June 30, 1953, Aileen married a handsome farmer in the Atwater area, Alan Hayward. Together they enjoyed their life on the farm, welcoming their son, Keith and a new “daughter” Debbie when Keith and Debbie married in 1986. Aileen and Alan contentedly worked and lived on the farm till 2014, when finally, at their kids’ urging, they finally made the big move to Yorkton. Here a new life opened up for Aileen and Alan; instead of being isolated on the farm, there were now people around them, their kids only minutes away and wonderful new condo friends to visit with, play cards, or have coffee. They both enjoyed the new “social scene” and blossomed in it. After Alan passed away, Aileen’s condo and town friends were so very special and supportive. Not a typical “farm wife”, Aileen worked off the farm teaching until she retired in 1989. Aileen was an avid reader and loved to keep up with current events. She enjoyed visits with neighbours and helping out with various gatherings in Atwater. She was a valuable member of the Atwater UCW. Aileen did not really enjoy gardening, but she was very much in tune with wild nature, always enjoying seeing the lady slippers and tiger lilies in the spring, the wild roses and the wild bluebells that grew in the fields around the farm. She always enjoyed going for long walks and picking wild flowers to grace the kitchen table. She also loved seeing the many birds that swooped through or nested in the yard; she’d watch them patiently, often consulting bird books to identify new birds. Aileen was also a cat lover and took great care of the many and varied cats that padded through the farmyard. She took a keen interest in the feline family, watching out for them and mourning them if one would happen to disappear. Aileen had a weakness for jewellery and scarves and loved any chance to “poke around” stores and garage sales to find interesting new additions to her collection! Aileen was predeceased by her parents, John and Anna Cornell; her husband Alan in 2017; her brother-in-law Denis in 1993; her sister-in-law Evelyn Ayers in 1995 and brother-in-law Willis Ayers in 2001; her grandson Nathan in 1995; Debbie’s Mom, Mary Diakuw in 2011; as well as nephews Ron Ayers in 2001 and great-nephew Warren Ayers in 2012 and beloved dogs Hobo and Rover, as well as “granddogs” Lady and Toby. She leaves her son Keith and daughter-in-law Debbie of Yorkton; Debbie’s sister Margie of Saskatoon; her sister-in-law Mildred of Kelowna, BC; niece Marilyn and husband Rob Cannon of Watrous and their family; nephew David and his wife Peggy Hayward of Winnipeg; as well as long-time friends and new condo friends in Yorkton. Thank you for the gift of your presence here today: Aileen would be so pleased. The Funeral Service was held on Saturday, June 16, 2018 at Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre with Rev. Jen Dresser of St. Andrew’s United Church officiating. The organist, Shani Apland, led in the singing of the hymns, ‘Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah’, ‘Day is Done’ and ‘How Great Thou Art’. Keith Hayward shared reflections of his mother’s life. Poems were conveyed by Debbie Hayward and Marilyn Cannon. The interment followed in the Garden of Memories at Yorkton Memorial Gardens with Keith and Debbie Hayward serving as the casket bearers. Memorials in memory of Aileen’s life may be made to the S.P.C.A. as gifts of remembrance. Condolences can be sent to the family at www.baileysfuneralhome.com.

Focused strategy with Vikings vs. Saxons It continues to amaze me how modern-era game designers can still come up with ideas for games that “feel” as though they could have been created a few centuries ago. And the games offer mechanics which work and provide a fun gaming experience. Which brings us to designer Jon Hather and Gothic Green Oak. Gothic Green Oak is the publisher of a number of games that truly have an old feel, akin to a mix of checkers, chess, and hnefatafl, all created by Hather. At its heart, Vikings vs. Saxons is a pure abstract strategy game, but one with a very specific focus. “Several hundred years before the Norman conquest, England was re-populated by the Angles and Saxons who came to the country after the Romans left in the 5th century. Their immigration was probably not entirely peaceful but, unlike the Romans
before and the Normans afterwards, it was slow and not at all organized. Over many years though, the post-Roman population became one dominated by the Anglo Saxons. Then, toward the end of the 8th century, from the North, the Vikings came, initially plundering and then settling. The Vikings soon dominated the north of the country. Their threat resulted in alliances further south between different Anglo Saxon kingdoms, though heavy losses resulted in payment being made to hold off further Viking incursion. Though details are few, there were many clashes between the Saxons and the Vikings, with the Vikings remaining dominant until King Alfred’s success at Ashdown in 871,” explains the game ruleset, which is on two sides of an eight-by-11 sheet of paper, and that includes the game background.

THE MEEPLE GUILD (Yorkton) meeple.guild@gmail.com “Our battle represents a small conflict at a bridge. The Saxons and Vikings are similarly armed, with most fighting with axes and spears. Men with swords were few; combat was close and bloody.” From a player perspective, having a bit of the history of a game in terms of its inspiration works for me. I can understand some of the thinking that went into mechanics. So with Vikings vs Saxons both sides have five men armed with spears, three armed with axes, and two with

that the game board, made of leather which aesthetically is awesome, and the board squeezes narrower in the middle leaving the players feeling as if they are truly advancing on, and battling over a bridge. Pieces start on sections of the board that are seven squares wide, but much of the “battle” is contested on a threeby-three bridge. That key bridge area congests quickly and every move can be deadly. The game pieces are simple wooden ones, but in combo with the leather board, the feeling of something old is very much reinforced. This is a game so simple to learn, easy to take with you to a friend’s, and such fun to explore it made an immediate Jon Hather fan out of me. Thanks to fellow gamer Adam Daniels for his help in running through this game for review.

At the start of the game each side assembles their army by placing two men at a time on the board on the first two rows. The random placement of pieces provides some tactical depth to explore, but also mimics nicely the idea of a random medieval battle. Not every soldier would march to the bridge in the same way. As you might expect the different pieces have different movements.
Swordsmen move up to three squares orthogonally or two squares diagonally. Axe men move up to two squares orthogonally or one square diagonally. Spear bears move knight’s move. The result here is a sort of limited chess feel. Capture is by replacement, again like chess, and is not compulsory. If one side can capture all their opponent’s men, they have won a Greater Victory. If, however, one side is reduced to a single man and can surrender by getting this man to this opponent’s back row before being captured, then the winner has won a Lesser Victory only. If both sides are reduced to one man then neither side has won any sort of Victory and can decide to chase each other round the board or agree to a draw. The standout element here, at least for me, is
