A fire at a warehouse on Smith St. covered the city in thick smoke as it burned the evening of Jun. 21.
Fire breaks out on Smith Street By Devin Wilger Staff Writer A warehouse on Smith Street was destroyed by fire on the evening of Jun. 21. A call came in to Yorkton Fire Protective Services at approximately 8:00 p.m., said Fire Chief Trevor Morrissey. The fire had started in the north end of the building. The fire was already fully involved in the interior at the building’s north end. “Because it was a warehouse, and a storage facility, it was fairly secure all around. It
wasn’t as easy as just popping through windows.� The department was unsure what was in the building, which was a big risk. A main hazard was a forklift with a propane tank, which did explode, Morrissey said. There were no injuries. The fire department’s main concern was preventing the fire from getting to the south end, where the gas line and power lines were located. They were able to control the fire while it was three quarters of the way through the building. “The roof did come in, and a gravel and asphalt
roof makes it difficult because it insulates everything on the inside, which makes it very difficult to get suppression water on the fire. The fire load on these kinds of buildings is typically high. There were a lot of hurdles to get around. We ended up attacking it from the air with the ladder truck, and from the exterior with what we call an indirect attack, to control it and keep it at bay.� A big public concern was the level of smoke coming out of the building. “We had a high pres-
sure system come in and really force the smoke down, and really smoke out the whole area, all the way to about third avenue, so we had to initiate a voluntary evacuation.� There was a reception centre at the Gallagher Centre for people in the
area who wanted to get out of the smoke. They were directed to the hospital if they had any medical issues arising from it. Fire crews worked through the night, and finished at about 6:30 a.m. on Jun. 22. The cause is currently unknown. The investiga-
tion is ongoing, but Morrissey said their main concern is safety, since the roof and doorways have been destroyed, making the building unstable. The warehouse was being used as a storage facility at the time. Continued on Page A2
Five and a half years in bulldozer case By Devin Wilger Staff Writer A man who drove a bulldozer into a house in the Calder area will be in prison for the next four years. Ronald Fatteicher, 60, pleaded guilty to attempted murder after driving a bulldozer into the home of his daughterin-law in July of 2017. His rampage destroyed the home, a trailer and an SUV. His daughter-in-law, along with a guest in the home, were able to escape unharmed before the bulldozer destroyed the home. Following the incident, Fatteicher took a truck from the property, and was chased by her husband. He hit the back of the truck causing Fatteicher to spin out, at which point he dragged Fatteicher out of the truck and had him held down by a relative as they waited for police to arrive on the scene.

Fatteicher was bleeding at the time, though it was unclear when the injury occurred. Fatteicher received a sentence of five and a half years, with one and a half years credit for time served. He is also the subject of a mandatory DNA order as well as a weapons prohibition upon release. The incident was the end of an acrimonious divorce between Fatteicher and his ex-wife. At the conclusion of sentencing, Fatteicher accused his son and daughter-in-law of abusing him, blaming them for a shoulder injury. During sentencing, Judge Donna Taylor said it was clear that this family was in a very sad situation, but that Fatteicher’s actions were “dangerous to an incredible degree� and hopes that the sentence serves as a lesson that “this is not a way society allows people to behave.�
The fire was fully involved when Yorkton Fire Protective Services arrived at the building.

Cannabis regulation discussion begins By Sean Mott Staff Writer The march towards cannabis retailers regulation in Yorkton began at the city council meeting on Jun. 25. Michael Eger (Director of Planning, Building, and Development with the City of Yorkton) introduced a potential amendment to Zoning Bylway No. 14/2003 at the Monday meeting. It focuses on cannabis retailers and where they will be allowed to set up shop in the city. “This is multifaceted,” Eger said. “It’s going to affect every aspect of our community.” On Jun. 1 of this year, the Saskatchewa government passed the Cannabis Control Act, which allows for the sale, possession, and use of marijuana in the prov-
ince. On the same day, the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) selected two cannabis retail operators to work in Yorkton. With all of these recent changes, and with country-wide legalization coming down the pike in October, Yorkton needs a comprehensive zoning bylaw that addresses cannabis retailers. “We wouldn’t want to impede...the businesses,” Eger said. The current zoning bylaw does not consider cannabis retailers as “defined use.” They might be regarded as general retailers, which isn’t the right definition given their strict provincial and federal regulations. In the proposal, Eger suggested Yorkton distinguish recreational cannabis retailers from
pharmacies, determine where cannabis retailers can operate in the city, decide if cannabis lounges should be allowed in the city, and review cannabis production regulations. “I think it’s important we do a good job,” said councillor Aaron Kienle. “It’s up to use to make sure our citizens and businesses are well served,” said councillor Randy Goulden. Eger made special note of keeping cannabis retailers and childrenheavy centres firmly separated. He suggested a 150 meter distance between all schools and cannabis retailers, and a 75 meter distance from all daycares. He called it a “hybrid approach.” “We thought they were good buffer [zones],” he said.” Eger said a challenge
this new law,” Kienle said.

FIRE Continued from Page A1 Wade Ruff, owner of the neighboring Ruff’s Furniture, is frustrated that the fire happened, and frustrated that the building that caught fire was able to get to the level of disrepair that it had, describing it as an eyesore. There have been incidents of vandalism on the property over the years. “It’s unfortunate this
of regulating cannabis is treating it like alcohol. Since cannabis retailers may require buffer zones, Eger suggested a similar approach may be considered for stores that sell alcohol. Eger said alcohol zoning regulations should be considered in a future amendment. “We don’t have buffer zones for alcohol, so I don’t know if [they’re] necessary, but it’s good to have everybody take a look at it,” Kienle said. Eger asked council to initiate the public notice process so Yorkton citizens can weigh in on the possible zoning changes. “We would invite all feedback,” he said. The proposal passed unanimously. “It’s our turn to put some rules out to keep our community as safe as possible and make people feel comfortable with

situation occurred... I am a property owner and subscribe to the idea that if you own property you maintain it, there are certain standards you have in place.” He said the fire department did an excellent job keeping the public safe over the course of the evening and controlling the blaze. “The evening of it, [the smoke] was terrible, you
couldn’t even see my business.” Ruff believes that the fire should be a wake-up call to the city, and lead to stricter bylaw enforcement, in order to prevent buildings within the city from getting to the same level of disrepair as the warehouse. “You’re putting people’s lives in danger unnecessarily, this was preventable.”

Perspective Sask. Party aren’t winning on rural pop. growth

Politics There are ample reasons why rural Saskatchewan will overwhelmingly support the Saskatchewan Party when the next election rolls around in 2020. Sometimes, voting patterns can be a matter of habit. Politicians are aware of this and it becomes the old adage in sales that it is far less expensive to maintain an old customer than attract a new one. So it’s likely that Sask. Party rural candidates will be successful because they have been successful. Notwithstanding that 11 of their 30 rural MLAs are still in their first term, rural Sask. Party MLAs average about nine years in office. Such familiarity is exceedingly helpful at the polls. But obviously more critical to long runs in elected office is belonging to a party whose philosophy and policies are favourable to your electorate. Admittedly, this is a party that actually promised very little that was new in former premier Brad Wall’s last general election campaign in 2016. Nor did Moe’s promise much while securing the Sask. Party leadership in January. However, issues like reducing the education property taxes on agricultural land or general support of agriculture and oil and mining that drive the rural economy are all part of a Sask. Party narrative that resonates well in rural Saskatchewan. So does opposition to the federal Liberal government carbon tax that has been Premier Scott Moe’s foremost issue. Finally, it’s helpful that the Sask. Party’s campaign platforms, government policies and freeenterprise philosophy contrasts so much with its only real political rival, the NDP. With little Liberal or Progressive Conservative presence in this province, the Sask. Party pretty much as that rural vote cornered. Add all this up and one can expect rural Saskatchewan to deliver Moe and the Sask. Party another majority government in 2020. In fact, the government has pretty assured this by deciding not reducing the number seats in Saskatchewan legislature. To do so would have meant having to reduce the current 30 rural seats because of rural de-population. However, there is huge irony here: For all of the Sask. Party’s success in rural Saskatchewan, it’s failed in this area most historical critical to rural Saskatchewan. Earlier this month, the government released Statistics Canada figures revealing a record Saskatchewan population of 1,117,240 — 1,488 more people in the first three months of this year, 11,691 more people in the past year and 157,806 more Saskatchewan people in the last decade. That’s 48 consecutive quarters of growth in Saskatchewan, the “longest period of sustained growth since quarterly records were first published in 1971” noted Economy Minister Jeremy Harrison. This is surely a grand achievement for a province that’s defined itself by losing people to other provinces. But here’s the thing: It’s not really rural Saskatchewan that’s benefitted by the province’s population boom. Stats Canada numbers also show that from July 2007 to July 2017, Saskatoon’s census metropolitan area population increased by 79,058 to 323,809 and Regina’s increased by 50,379 to 253,220. That pretty much means 80 per cent of Saskatchewan’s growth has been in the two major cities, alone. With much of the remainder of that growth in Moose Jaw, Prince Albert and other smaller cities, we haven’t seen the turnaround in rural Saskatchewan we’ve seen elsewhere. And don’t expect one anytime soon. Net interprovincial migration (those moving into Saskatchewan from other provinces compared with those moving out) was a minus 2,526 in the first quarter of 2018. >From 2014 to 2017, Saskatchewan saw net interprovincial losses of 2,552, 4,897, 5,451 and 9,397, respectively. These are people leaving rural Saskatchewan for Alberta and elsewhere. Obviously, one can’t fault the Sask. Party for not turning around something no government could turn around. But it is a reminder that not even the Sask. Party has been able to turnaround this reality. Murray Mandryk has been covering provincial politics for over 22 years.

Neglected buildings inevitably trouble T
here was a certain grim inevitability to the fire on Smith St. Thursday evening. Something bad was going to happen at that location, it was only a matter of time before we found out what it would wind up being. This time, it was a fire, but it could have been a collapse, it could have been someone injuring themselves trying to access the building, it could have been all manner of things. Buildings don’t respond well to neglect, and that building has been neglected for years. It was only a matter of time before something happened to it. This fire, along with the fire on Front St. in 2015 that caused the destruction of a former curling rink, should cause the city to look hard at what, exactly, it can do to deal with the neglected buildings in town. There are bylaws in place that are in the interest of public safety, and even if nobody is actually occupying these old buildings, in many cases they are a public danger. The smoke, for instance, could easily have caused injury or death, given how thick it was and how much was coming out of the building. The problem is naturally going to be how much power the city actually has when it comes to bylaw enforcement, and what it can do when faced with property owners who just leave a
building sit and become a hazard. The fines should be high enough that it becomes prohibitively expensive to leave a neglected building sit, pushing people to do something. In some cases, that means knocking it down and having an empty lot – which might be painful in some cases, especially buildings that had some historic significance. In other cases, it means selling the building to someone who will actually do something with it. Let’s give some credit to TA Foods, for example, who took over the Western Grocers location on Broadway and made it into something again. More things like that are great news for the city, since that building could have easily become yet another eyesore without the new owner. Business owners stepping up, buying out older properties, and improving them should be encouraged. What’s clear is that we don’t want another fire like the one on Thursday, and whatever the official cause winds up being, the fire was effectively caused by neglect. That building was neglected for years, much to the frustration of surrounding property owners, and that neglect meant something bad was going to happen eventually. It’s not the only neglected building in town, and the question now becomes what we can do in order to avoid another fire.

History Corner
Yorkton Auto Club Last week we presented a story of York Lake which featured a picture of the lake and some recreational events of the long ago — over a hundred years — since York Lake was a leisure time destination of the very early settlers. We had found a short story of the Yorkton Auto Club members who organized dances and other events there. Some years ago we already published a picture of the Auto Club lined up on Broadway Street, but are reprinting it now for those who did not see it. The date of the photo is believed to be 1909 but it may be around 1913 or 1914. The buildings have not changed that much. We see the Dunlop Block on the left and the two banks on the extreme right — corner of Third Ave. North, —first the Bank of Toronto, and across the street the Union Bank which became the Royal Bank.

Seacan regulated in bylaw change By Sean Mott Staff Writer The seacans have finally landed. After two months of consultations, revisions, and tweaks, Yorkton City council has approved of a change to a bylaw regarding shipping containers (also known as seacans). Council voted on the matter during their Jun. 25 meeting. The bylaw change passed unanimously. “We’re ready to roll with the amendments to the zoning bylaw,” said Michael Eger, Director of Planning, Building, and Development with the City of Yorkton. The revised bylaw will allow shipping containers to exist in certain sections of the city, with a few caveats and rules. “We’re treating them like buildings,” Eger said. “Before they were living in a no-man’s land.” The seacans debate began in April when the Saskatchewan Building Standards Branch issued an advisory that seacans must be considered buildings if they are no longer being used for their original purpose. This advisory meant Yorkton had to update its bylaw to be in compliance with the province. Eger and his team tabled a change to the zoning bylaw to the council, which agreed to send it out for community feedback. Eger’s group mailed out forms about the bylaw change to businesses that use seacans. They also advertised the alteration in Yorkton This Week and through other plat-
forms. They received minimal feedback. “Sometimes no news is good news,” Eger said. The bylaw change returned to council in May and early June. Councillors suggested amendments and asked for more time so the public could weigh in. Finally, on Jun. 25, council approved of the final proposal. “I think it’s a good piece of bylaw,” said councillor Aaron Kienle. The change (officially known as Bylaw No. 8/2018) to Zoning Bylaw No. 14/2003 strictly outlines shipping containers as the intended focus (similar objects such as trailers are not included). As before, secans may be temporarily placed in any zoning district for construction, renovation, or loading/unloading purposes. They may not be located in a sight triangle (a triangle at an intersection), obstruct pedestrian or vehicle right-of-way, or be vertically stacked. Seacan owners will have to pay fees to keep their containers in one spot. These fees grow the longer the
seacans stay in place. The main changes involve zones C-1 (City Centre Commercial) and C-2 (Arterial Commercial). These areas can now only have one seacan per site. Storm management requirements will only apply when there are two or more containers in a site. Financially, the biggest change involves the development fee to place

HIV testing day proclaimed in Yorkton By Sean Mott Staff Writer Yorkton City council proclaimed Wednesday as HIV Testing Day in Yorkton at their Jun. 25 meeting. Deanna Bartok, a registered nurse, brought the proposal before council during their Monday meeting. She asked council to declare Jun. 27 as HIV Testing Day in Yorkton. “[It’s] to encourage all community members to get tested, know their sta-
tus, and make HIV testing a regular part of their health care routine,” she said. The first National HIV Testing Day was held in 1995. It’s designed to make people aware about the importance of HIV testing. During her speech, Bartok underscored how Saskatchewan has the highest rates of HIV per capita in Canada. The province’s rate has more than doubled since 2008. “Individuals living in rural and
remote Saskatchewan have been most affected in the last few of years,” she said. Bartok claimed one in five Canadians are unaware they carry HIV. Since HIV symptoms aren’t always blatant, they can go undetected, with carriers unknowingly passing on the disease. “The only way to know is to be tested,” Bartok said. The SIGN building on Broadway Street will conduct HIV tests on Jun. 27 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Bartok emphasized that while HIV is no longer the death sentence it used to be, there is still a lot of stigma surrounding the disease. Misinformation can spread false perceptions about HIV. Events like HIV Testing Day help minimize the stigma. “Promoting and normalizing testing will reduce barriers individuals face to know their status and access care and treatment,” she said. Council passed the proposal unanimously.

Council Meeting Monday, July 16, 2018 at 5:00 p.m. Public Notice Proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendment to Regulate Cannabis Retailers Details: Yorkton City Council will consider a text amendment to Zoning Bylaw No. 14/2003, which proposes to regulate cannabis retailers. Yorkton has been approved by the Province for two cannabis retail licenses and the City must now consider zoning amendments to allow the awarded companies to proceed with the Provincial permit process. As part of allowing cannabis retailers, the City will look to limit the zones in which they can operate, and also create separation distances between cannabis retailers and child-focused uses such as schools and approved daycares. Regardless of the City’s bylaws, cannabis retailers will not be allowed to operate until Federal cannabis legalization is approved, and until Provincial permits are issued. The amendment will be publicly advertised before Council makes their final decision. Information: To view the proposed bylaw, visit our website at www.yorkton.ca. There is a link to Public Notices on the home page. Questions regarding the proposed bylaw may be directed to: Michael Eger, Director of Planning, Building & Development Phone: 306-786-1758 Email: meger@yorkton.ca Public Hearing: A Public Hearing will be held on Monday, July 16, 2018 at 5:00 p.m. in City Hall Council Chambers, Yorkton, SK.

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

YRHS builds teepee for its students By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The Yorkton Regional High School wants to become a more welcoming place to students. On National Indigenous People’s Day, they took the opportunity to dedicate the new teepee they have erected in one of the school’s courtyards. It’s meant to welcome First Nation’s students and support aboriginal education in the school. Principal Mike Haczkewicz said the teepee is a symbol of their commitment to the First Nations and Metis families who attend YRHS. It’s part of a larger goal of increasing the amount of aboriginal content in the curriculum. “Historically, it has not been the best of time for them in school. We apologize for that, we’re making the best of things going forward. We’re saying that when you see the teepee here in school, it’s a symbol of you being
welcome here. It’s also a commitment from our building, our staff and the professionals within here to do a better job of integrating First Nations and Metis culture within our curriculum and giving our First Nations and Metis students a chance and an opportunity and a place to practice their culture.” The school is committed to doing things right, said Haczkewicz, and they will use the structure as a teaching tool from the beginning. Art classes in the school will decorate the teepee, and they will research the subject so they paint it in a manner appropriate for Treaty 4 land, as well as learn the history of the teepee along with the significance of images they use. “We don’t want to take something from Treaty 7 land and put it on a Treaty 4 teepee, that wouldn’t be right. There’s going to be some learning and some history.”

Parkland College flies the Treaty 4 flag
George Cote, Chief of the Cote First Nation, Dwayne Reeve, President of the Parkland College, and Crystal Whitehawk, Parkland College student, raise the Treaty 4 flag.
A flag raising can mean different things. For Parkland College student Crystal Whitehawk, currently in the Bachelor of Indigenous Education program, it means a lot to see the Treaty 4 flag flying above Parkland College. The flag, which went up above the college for the first time on National Indigenous People’s Day, is a symbol of the relationship between First Nations and non-First Nations people on Treaty 4 land. “This is a relationship that has been through some bad times. We are healing from that now and it continues to heal. This shows that the relationship is continuing to heal and we can go to a good place in the future.” Whitehawk is proud to see the Treaty 4 flag flying across the city, and on a larger level, days like National Indigenous People’s Day celebrating Indigenous culture. “It makes me proud that it’s not only here but C a n a d a - w i d e ,
Saskatchewan-wide. It’s a relationship that needs to be healed.” Dwayne Reeve, president of the Parkland College, said their goal is to listen to the Indigenous groups that partner with

British steel and American iron met at Westview United Church as the Saskatchewan British Car Club rolled into town.
British invasion at Westview United Church By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Cars are built to be driven, and the Saskatchewan British Car Club takes that seriously with an annual road trip in their British classics. This year, that means a trip to Brandon, MB to the Commonwealth Air Museum, and a stop in Yorkton to meet with Yorkton’s Antique Auto Association at Westview United Church. Terry Yuzik with the Saskatchewan British Car Club said they have fun driving their cars, whether it’s something rare like a Triumph Stag or something a bit easier to find, like an MGB. “They’re good looking, they’re colourful, they’re easy to work on,” Yuzik said. While the Yorkton club primarily drives American vehicles, Yuzik sees them as the same as the British club, just with
a different focus. They’re all enthusiasts who love driving old cars and the work that goes into keeping them running well. “The guys in Yorkton would be scared of British cars, they wouldn’t know where to get parts!” The club does a road trip every year, alternating between longer trips and shorter ones. Yuzik notes that while the British might not have a reputation for reliability, their cars were made to run and run well. He can’t help but declare the superiority of his preferred automakers. “The British were way advanced on North America back in the ‘60s. These cars had disc brakes, North American cars had no such thing as disc brakes, they were all drums. These cars had 1:1 rack and pinion steering, [Americans] were using worm gears and cranks.”

Vern and Donna Brown value volunteering By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Vern and Donna Brown have been retired since 1998, but they’re still active in the community. The Browns live on a farm just outside of Yorkton. Their volunteer work began with their kids, Donna explained, picking up things where their kids were interested. As their kids grew up, the Browns began volunteering in things that they found personally important. Donna primarily works within the Westview United Church now, though she was also active on the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce, including being the president of the chamber in 1990. Vern also works with the church, but volunteers with the Yorkton Lions as well as the Yorkton Brick Mill Heritage Society. Their farmland is rented out to the Yorkton Terriers to farm for a fundraiser. “It’s pretty easy for them to deal with,” Donna said. Living on a farm in their retirement, the Browns have plenty to do, with a big yard to take care of and a large garden to grow. “I can mow grass here
half the week,” Vern joked. While she’s 79, Donna said that she thinks of her grandmother, who she asked if she felt she was 90, and her grandmother replied that she didn’t. She feels she understands her grandmother now. “I do not feel as old as I am and I really don’t worry about my age. That’s not too important. It’s just doing what we can do to help. I don’t like sitting in a lawn chair in the sun so I have to find things to do!” Donna explained that she volunteers in the community because she can, and that she knows that there is a need there. “If we can help somebody and make their life a little bit better, that’s a good thing. There are lots of people who need help, in whatever way you can possibly do it, with money or with work or however you can do it.” Vern agrees that it’s something they can do, so they should. He said it’s something they both learned from their parents, the value of contributing to the community around you. “Volunteering doesn’t cost you a lot, but it doesn’t pay very well. But the satisfaction’s good.”
It’s also a good way to become part of the community. Donna noted that many of their friends through the years are people they met through volunteer work. “If we chose to stay at home, we would become pretty dried up pretty soon, not making contacts with anyone.” Their son, Ward, continues to work in the family business, now known as Brown’s Leisure World. Their daughter also teaches in the high school, while their third child lives in Saskatoon. Having two kids stay close to home is a testament to the quality of the city, Donna said. “That says quite a bit about Yorkton, that some of the kids do stick around. It’s not known as a place where there are a lot of young people, it’s mostly older people, but I think it testifies to the type of community it is. It’s a good community to raise children in, certainly.” Donna also believes that it’s up to people to get out and be active in the city in order to make it a better place to live, whether they are seniors or they are young. “Some people think there’s not enough to do, but I think that’s up to the individual.”

Volunteering as an older adult: How to find the right fit for your new lifestyle Many parents feel involving their children in volunteering at an early age can have a profound, long-lasting impact on their kids. But youngsters are not the only ones who can reap great rewards from volunteering, as studies show that men and women at, beyond or approaching retirement age also benefit greatly from volunteer work. Research found that more than 20 million older adults contributed in excess of three billion hours of community service time each year from 2011 to 2013. The reasons why older adults volunteer are varied, but a 2014 survey found that 97 percent of its volunteers indicated that their volunteer work with the organization gave them a
sense of purpose. Older adults who want to volunteer but have little or no history with volunteering might not know where to begin with regard to finding the right opportunity. The right fit can make all the difference for volunteers and the people they help, and the following tips might help older adults as they look for an opportunity that best utilizes their skills and experience. • Know your schedule. Older adults who are still working but want to volunteer may have a firm grasp on their schedules, but even retirees should not overestimate how much time they have to volunteer. Before you begin to look for an opportunity, write down your commitments and daily schedule, using this
list to determine how much free time you have to volunteer. Some opportunities require greater time commitments than others, so make sure you know just how much time you can devote to an opportunity before signing up. • Give due consideration to your experience. Older adults who have retired or are on the cusp
of retirement have a lifetime of experience they can use to help others. Imparting wisdom learned in your professional life can provide a sense of purpose and even make you feel as though you are still actively involved in the industry where you built your professional reputation. But life experience can also prove invaluable in vol-
unteering opportunities. Mentoring programs give volunteers the chance to help young people, and such opportunities can involve more than just offering professional advice. • Don’t downplay the significance of certain opportunities. Volunteering opportunities come in many variations, and each is significant in its own right. Coaching a grandchild’s soccer team can have as significant an impact on the people you help as other volunteering opportunities. Volunteers offer their time because they have a passion to help others, and that help can be given in a myriad of ways. • Leave time for the rest of your life. Volunteering is a selfless act, and vol-
unteers are the backbone of many successful charitable organizations. But older men and women should leave time for the rest of their lives as well. Retirement should be fulfilling but also include time for recreation, so don’t downplay how important hobbies are to you in an attempt to find more time to volunteer. No retiree wants to grow resentful of his or her volunteer work because it leaves little time for other pursuits, so do your best to balance your charitable endeavors with the other things in life that matter to you. Finding the right volunteer opportunity can make all the difference for older men and women who want to give back to their communities.
Helping seniors take flight (NC) — As seniors prepare to take to the skies, some may have questions about how best to get through security screening. Fortunately, the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority has some tips to help us all breeze through. Those with mobility issues have a number of options to make things a little easier. To start, when passengers arrive at security they can check if there’s a Family/ Special Needs line available. This line features screening equipment that can accommodate larger items like mobility aids and officers who can offer additional assistance to passengers needing more time or help with their belongings. For passengers who are unable to traverse the walk-through metal detector unassisted, CATSA offers a courtesy
non-metallic cane for this purpose. They also have the option of bypassing the walk-through and being screened with a hand-held detector, or undergoing a full-body scan or physical search. For those bringing
medications to the checkpoint, it is important to note that while most liquids, aerosols and gels in carry-on baggage must be in containers of 100 millilitres or less, this rule doesn’t apply to prescription and over-
the-counter medicines. To assist screening officers, leave these items in the original manufacturer’s packaging or with pharmaceutical labels intact so they can be easily identified. Day-by-day pill separators are also
permitted. Finally, remember that while passengers are limited to two carry-on bags, medical supplies,
equipment and mobility aids don’t count toward that limit. Find more air-travel tips at www.catsa.gc.ca.

Sleep loss can affect Looking back... memory in seniors 487197_R0011580898_YTW_B_J2_V1
Poor sleep can leave people feeling groggy, disoriented, depressed, and not up for facing the day. And now there’s new evidence that insomnia can contribute to memory loss and forgetfulness among the elderly. A study — the first of its kind — unveiled a new link between lack of sleep and memory loss. Researchers found that during sleep important brain waves are produced that play key roles in storing memories. These waves transfer the memories from the hippocampus to the prefrontal cortex, a portion of the brain where long-term information is stored. Sleep loss can cause the memories to remain in the hippocampus and not reach the long-term storage area, found researchers. This can contribute to forgetfulness and difficulty remembering simple details, such as names. Seniors are frequently plagued with deteriorated sleeping patterns that lead to shallow sleep and more awakenings. This can contribute to the prevention of memories

The 1950s was an exciting time to live. Crime was low, children could freely play outside, Elvis was rocking and rolling and kids were going “steady.” Here are just a few facts about the golden age of the 1950s. •Gas cost only 20 cents gallon. •The color television

set was introduced. •Smokey the Bear becomes a household name. •Disneyland opens up in California in 1955. •Otis Elevator installs the first self-service elevator in Dallas. •Silly Putty was introduced to the world. •In 1950, “Peanuts”
and the Charlie Brown character is born. •Dr. Jonas Salk develops a vaccine for polio in 1955. •The first modern credit card was introduced. •The 1950s were credited with doing the first organ transplant.

being saved by the brain each evening. This is not the first time sleep and brain health have been measured. A 2008 study discovered that people with sleep apnea showed tissue loss in brain regions that help store memories. Imaging and behavioral studies show the role sleep plays in learning and memory and that lack of sleep can impair a person’s ability to focus and learn efficiently. Combine this with the necessity of sleep to make those brain wave connections for memories to be stored, and the importance of deep sleep is apparent. Another study linked poor sleep with early onset of dementia, especially Alzheimer’s dis-
ease. Although poor sleep does not cause Alzheimer’s, it may increase brain amyloid proteins believed to be intrinsic to the disease. When slow-wave deep sleep is disrupted, levels of amyloid can grow and clog the brain. This is corroborated by data published in the journal Neurology. Getting deep sleep is important for reducing these proteins. The quality of deep sleep among older adults is often 75 percent lower than it is in younger people. Doctors can be cognizant of how sleep impacts memory and the onset of dementias and discuss insomnia treatment options with their patients.
Adopting a dog or cat Companion animals bring great joy to their owners. The unconditional love cats and dogs provide appeals to people of all ages. While many people associate pets with kids who can’t wait to welcome the first cat or dog into their homes, pets can benefit aging men and women as well. It’s not uncommon for seniors to feel lonely or depressed when they retire, their children move away or they lose a spouse or close friend or friends. Studies show pets help seniors overcome loneliness and depression by providing affection, company and entertainment. Pets also provide much-needed mental stimulation, and many pet owners find their pets help them become more physically active as well. Seniors who adopt pets may also feel a sense of purpose when helping animals who may not
have anywhere to live. This is particularly true of older companion animals, which many young families are understandably hesitant to adopt. Mature pets might be an ideal fit for seniors. When seniors are looking to adopt a pet, there are various reasons why older pets or particular animals might be the perfect fit for them. • Adult pets may already be house trained, saving seniors the trouble and effort of training them. • Seniors may find cats fit their lifestyles more than dogs, as cats are less active and do not need to be walked or played with as much as dogs. Cats also are small and easily maneuverable, meaning even seniors who have arthritis or other physical limitations can easily care for cats. Many cats are also content to spend long periods of time sleeping

on their owners’ laps. • Small dogs that can be active within the house might be a good idea as well, especially for seniors with mobility issues. They’re also easily transported to and from vet appointments. It’s important that seniors carefully weigh the benefits of adopting a pet against any limitations they may have. Having a backup plan for care is advantageous as well. Seniors should not adopt a pet if they anticipate frequent travel or medical care that requires they be away from home for long periods of time.

Add an anenome to your garden
If you have your calendar out, be sure to circle Wednesday, Aug. 8; that’s the date of the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society’s Annual Fruit, Flower, and Vegetable Show at St. Gerard’s Parish Complex. Here’s your chance to see the best of the gardening year: fruit and vegetable displays, cut flowers, plant displays, and flower arrangements. Your admission price includes tea or coffee and dainties, so please mark that date down and plan to join us! A dear gardening friend gifted us with a beautiful new plant: a lovely burgundy anemone. While we had often heard of this plant, we were not familiar with it, so this is the perfect time to do some homework! The anemone, also called wind flower, originates from the Mediterranean region. It is a perennial that likes well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Its favorite location would be a lightly shady area, although it will do well in full sun. The plant has a cluster of leaves at the base, then the pretty poppy-like flowers rise above on slender stems. I learned that there are three kinds of anemones: the spring blooming kind; the variety that blooms in spring and summer and does well in sun; and the summer and fall blooming variety which likes light shade. I believe the new plant we have is the springsummer variety, which comes in red, the stunning crimson color that we have, purple, white or blue. This plant would be a great addition to a garden, looking very elegant as it blooms. It also has a romantic history: in Greek mythology, Aphrodite and Adonis were lovers. The other gods murdered Adonis, and in her deep grief, Aphrodite’s tears over his grave became anemone flowers. Likely because of this story, in the language of flowers, anemones represent forbidden love. Anemone: a beautiful plant with an

Gardener’s Notebook interesting story behind it. All in all a great addition to any garden! There are so many garden tasks in the spring, one of them being care of our mugo pines. At this time of year we see the slender shoots or candles at the tops of the mugo. These tender little shoots hold the growth of the entire season. To ensure that our mugo pine branches out and keeps a nice compact shape, we should “candle” it, that is, break off half of each of the slender shoots. We should do this before the shoots become woody in a few weeks. By candling the mugo, it will become thicker each year. Keep it in mind! We are just days away from July 1, Canada Day. Several years ago we were in England on Canada Day. We brought along Canadian souvenirs to share with our friends, and after supper everyone began to sing the national anthems of their home countries. When it came to our turn
to sing “O Canada”, our friends all stood, wearing their maple leaf pins, and sang with us. There was such affection for our beloved country from these far-away friends, it reduced me to tears. We were so proud to be Canadian! The maple leaf is probably one of the most distinctive symbols for a country in the entire world, and our flag with this symbol flew for the first time in February 1965. In 1996 the maple leaf tree was recognized officially as Canada’s national emblem. There is even a maple leaf tartan that has the colors of the maple leaf’s color in the changing seasons. We are so blessed to live here! On Canada Day, spend some time outdoors and savor the beauty that surrounds us. With glowing hearts, give thanks for our beautiful Canada! Visit us at www.yorktonhort.ca. Have a great week! Happy Canada Day!

Welcome to my newest granddaughter My honorary granddaughter, the first Canadian in her family, didn’t thank me for the gift of a tiny Canadian flag and lapel pin. She didn’t even look at me. In fact, she slept through the entire visit. I understood. Could there be a better gift than sleep? Especially when you’re only three days old and born three weeks early after many hours of
hard labour. We clustered around her, her father, grandfather, and I. Wrapped in one of her daddy’s red turbans, cradled in her beautiful mother’s arms, little Sargun reminded me of an exquisite garden rose. When they presented her to me, barely five pounds and about the size of one of the Preacher’s loaves of bread, she felt weightless

from the hospital a few hours after Sargun’s birth. She’d enclosed a photo of herself and baby. “Hello, Grandma, I am a baby girl.” “Happy is the man who gets a daughter,” her father, Prabh, told me several times during our visit. “Too often in my culture, girls are not welcome. I was raised differently.” “Like a little Rajneet,” said Mr. Singh, Rajneet’s father, eyes soft, voice gentle. During our visit, while drinking Chai and eating delectable Indian sweets, fitting of such a
celebration, I asked if I could read a passage from the Bible. Devout Sikhs, our friends have a deep reverence for holy books. “Of course,” they said. I read these words from Psalm 139: 11-18. “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.” Excited, Prabh
reached for his phone and found a passage from his own holy book – words that echoed fairly closely what I had just read. Baby Sargun slept through it all, as her family pondered this tiny miracle so fresh from the hand of God. I visited a new Canadian today. Blessed by the privilege I welcome her to my country and into our family. Perhaps it’s my way of paying it forward. Almost a century ago, Canadians welcomed my own parents as newborns, along with their immigrant parents. But along with a privilege, I count this as a Christian responsibility. Unequivocally, the Bible states that people of faith are to welcome the stranger – and which one of us are not sometimes strangers among others? God has beautiful things planned for our little rose. Welcome, Sargun.

Past presidents of the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce, going back to the 1980s, gathered at the Chamber of Commerce office together. The event was in celebration of the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce’s 120th anniversary, which was marked in 2018
Chamber celebrates its past presidents By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The Yorkton Chamber of Commerce has been around for 120 years. In that time, many people have been the president of the Chamber. They recently gathered as many former presidents as they could together for a photo to celebrate the Chamber’s legacy in the city. The earliest surviving president, Allan Bailey, was not able to attend the event due to medical reasons, and the remaining presidents all signed a letter wishing him well. Ron Balacko was Chamber President in 1982. He’s proud of how active the Chamber has been in Yorkton, and proud to be part of the legacy that it has had over the years. “It’s a very fulfilling job to help that along.” Proud to see the number of past presidents who showed up for the event, he’s also pleased to see how involved the past presidents remain in the community. Yorkton has changed significantly since Balacko was Chamber President, and he’s happy to see how the city has grown and business has evolved in the city in the 36 years since. “I think Yorkton’s facing a bright economic future right now. Back in the ‘80s... the farming community was kind of in the tough, interest rates were running anywhere from 17 to 22 per cent, farmers were having some issues with financ-
ing, and as the farming community goes so goes the business in Yorkton,
so there were some pretty interesting times back then. Challenging, but
Yorkton’s always got a brighter future to look forward to.”

Lone win spikes rough week for the Cards By Sean Mott Staff Writer The Yorkton Cardinals redeemed themselves against the Swift Current 57s on Jun. 19. It was the lone highlight in a disappointing week of baseball, as the Cardinals struggle to break out of their early season slump. The Cardinals faced the 57s at Jubilee Park on Jun. 19 after falling to the visiting team the previous day. The Cardinals rebounded from the defeat, handing the 57s a loss in a close game. Things looked bleak at the start of the game as the 57s
scored a run in the second inning, followed by three more in the third. The Cardinals rallied and put three runs on the board in the fourth, with Jared McDonald, Dillon Champagne, and Thirus Jones all scoring. The Cardinals maintained their momentum in the fifth inning as Champagne and Logan Zazaya both scored runs. McDonald snagged a run in the seventh while Ryne Niemi and Jayse Wilson both made it to home base in the eighth, solidifying Yorkton’s lead. Swift Current tried to make a comeback in the ninth inning,
scoring two runs, but they couldn’t overtake the home team. The Cardinals won 8-6. The Cardinals dance with victory didn’t last long. They fell to the Regina Red Sox in a hard-fought home game on Jun. 21. Regina started strong, scoring two runs in the second inning. Yorkton didn’t respond until the fifth, but it was a solid effort. Jones, Griffey Halle, and Riley Jepson all scored runs in the fifth. Halle grabbed one more run for the Cardinals in the seventh inning before the team fell to Regina 7-4. On the road
The Cardinals suffered three tough losses on the road over the weekend. They faced the Weyburn Beavers on Jun. 22. Jepson and Halle scored runs in the fourth and fifth innings, respectively, but that was all the offense the Cardinals could muster. They lost to the Beavers 8-2. The Cardinals faced the Red Sox in back-to-games on Jun. 24. The first game was rough. Jepson and Clyde Yeh scored in the second inning. Halle and McDonald did likewise in the third. But their efforts weren’t enough as Regina came out on top with a dominating 11-4 victory.
The second game of the day was much closer.Halle kicked the first inning off with a run. The Cardinals didn’t follow up on his point until the sixth, when Colin Kelington and Jayse Wilson scored runs. That was the Cardinals’ last burst in the game, as they lost 5-3. Back home The Cardinals were supposed to face the Red Sox yet again on Monday, but the game was canceled. Up next The Cardinals will play the Medicine Hat Mavericks in home game action on Jun. 28 at 7 p.m.
Big wins for the Yorkton E&S Yankees By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The hits kept coming for the South East Senior Baseball League’s Yorkton E&S Yankees over the past week. The first game, in Yorkton, saw the Yankees meet the Parkland Padres. The balls started flying right from the first inning, when the Yankees made five runs right at the start of the game. The Padres met them with three of their own. The second saw the Padres take the lead with four runs, and continue to lead in the third, with two runs to the Yankees’ one. The fourth inning again went the Padres’ way, with three runs to the Yankees’ two. That was the last time the Padres were on the top of the scoreboard. The fifth was a blowout for the Yankees, as they scored nine runs to take the lead. The assault on the Padres continued into the sixth, with a further seven runs. The final score was 24-12 for the Yankees. They then travelled to Grandview, MB on Sunday to meet the Grandview Lakers. The Yankees scored consistently through the contest, beginning with two runs in the first inning. It didn’t stop there, with five runs in the second, two in the third and four in the fourth. After no score in the fifth, the Yankees followed it up with a run in each the sixth and seventh. The final score was 15-0 for the Yankees, with the Lakers unable to get on the board through the game.
The Yorkton E&S Yankees were dominant over the week, winning by over 12 runs in each game. Pictured here playing against the Parkland Padres.

The AA Bantam Parkland Expos wound up their regular season on Sunday, June 24 with a pair of games at Jubilee Park. The team had a successful season, only losing once through the regular season and tournaments, for an overall record of 27-1. Coach Mike McCubbing said
that the kids were easy to coach and the team really came together, particularly in terms of their defensive play. The final two games, against the Regina Pacers, with scores of 10-0 and 11-1 for the Expos. The Expos are now preparing for the playoffs this weekend in Regina.

Building up a Saskatchewan fastball team While I am an avid sports fan my own skills in terms of sport have been limited. I enjoy throwing steel-tipped darts but a lone 180 throw in all the games I have played is telling that I am not very good at it. At 58, among the local community I am for ‘an old guy’ not horrible at disc golf, but far from accomplished either. Even in my younger years excelling at sports was not my forte. In school, now some four decades ago, I could hold my own in doubles badminton, but there aren’t a box of trophies in the garage either. The one sport I was pretty solid at, and enjoyed the most in my younger years was fastball. I played first base with the local area team the New Osgoode Bandits, a team that played at various tournaments each year; Rose Valley, Perigord, Golburn and Connaught among them. Fastball is a sport where success is largely reliant on good pitching. When we could field an area pitcher who could get the time off from farming, or was back visiting family maybe, (yes a bit of a ringer), we did all right. The Bandits were a lot of fun back then, a bunch of farm boys climbing down off their tractors, or setting down their feed pails to play some ball. It was thing I truly missed when I chose to come to Yorkton. But, I still love fastball. I have often wished North America was a bit more sports diverse to the point of having a pro men’s’ fastball league as an option to baseball some days. There is the National Pro Fastpitch loop which currently features five teams: the Aussie Spirit, Beijing Shougang Eagles, Chicago Bandits, Cleveland Comets, and USSSA Pride, but I have not had a chance to see the league in action. But Saskatchewan sports fans have an opportunity to see some high calibre softball (fastball) this summer. The World Baseball Softball Confederation’s Junior Men’s World Softball Championship is being hosted by Prince Albert from July 7th -
CALVIN DANIELS
Opinion 15th. The event is for players 19 and under, so the level of play will be about as good as the sport gets. Kalen Kovitch, Media & Communications Director with the event was good enough to provide some information on the major championship. “We applied to host the Junior Men’s World Championships back in the fall of 2015,” he reported via email. “First we needed to get the stamp of approval from Softball Canada that we would be the bid package they would submit to the ISF (International Softball Federation) which at the time was the governing body.” Kovitch said they wanted the event in part because ‘fastball’ is popular in the area. “In Prince Albert and surrounding area the sport is extremely popular with boys and girls teams in every single age category of provincials at the highest level of competition,” he said. “The reason we wanted to host this particular
event is because we have had 13 athletes from our developmental program represent Canada at this exact tournament over the years. “We really hope that it continues to feed the love of fastpitch softball in our community.” What countries are involved? Thirteen countries will send teams: Canada, New Zealand, Japan, Australia, Argentina, Czeh Republic, Denmark, Guatemala, Hong Kong, India, South Africa, Mexico and the United States. “Japan, New Zealand, Canada were the topthree teams at the last event in Michigan in 2016,” said Kovitch who added that makes them early favourites. He then noted, “Australia, Argentina, Mexico and the United States should also have good squads.” Anyone who can find their way to Prince Albert should be up for some great ball.

Terriers look to rebuild at AGM By Sean Mott Staff Writer Refocused and reenergized. That was the main message at the Yorkton Terrier Junior Hockey Booster Club annual general meeting on Jun. 25. The local team is looking forward to a new hockey season while overcoming financial and management problems from the previous season. “[Putting] a quality product on ice is [the] number one [priority],” said club vice-president Alan Sharp. Club members filled the National Bank Convention Room on Monday to hear reports from club leaders and to voice their opinions and concerns. The club laid out their financial state, which is not ideal. Their current liabilities outpace their current assets by $34,345. While the club made less overall revenue than last year ($544,367 versus $607,820), they also incurred fewer expenses ($530,959 versus $593,881). The club attributed the reduced revenue to low ticket sales (general attendance fell by 30 per cent this season). They claimed the Terriers inability to make playoffs contributed to the lower expenses. On the hockey front, general manager and head coach Mat Hehr took to the podium to address the team’s future. He emphasized changing the Terriers’ culture and attitude. “We’re still working on being one big family,” he said. “That doesn’t happen overnight.” Hehr highlighted how the season was full of uncertainty and changes. He hopes to bring a sense of structure to the team in the fall. “It was kind of a whirlwind,” he said. “Everyone’s excited for some kind of stability next season. “We’re going to have a very good team.” The club plans to involve past Terriers players more heavily in the team’s plans. The theme for the upcoming season is #Terriers4Life. “It takes a lot of work to run the organization,” Sharp said. Sharp was encouraged by the big turnout at the meeting. Even after an occasionally heartbreaking season, hope springs eternal in Yorkton. “It’s obvious there’s passion for the club,” he said.

$10,000 donation made to ICU When Doreen Sereda passed a few months ago, Emil Sereda and his family told friends and family that they would like to have donations made in memory of Doreen made to The Health Foundation for the ICU. “There were many contributions that came in; many people were touched by Doreen during her life and they wanted to remember her. My children and I were touched by how many people remembered Doreen. I went in to talk to Ross Fisher at the Foundation to ask him if there was equipment they needed in the ICU that maybe we could help them purchase,” said Emil Sereda. “We wanted the donations to go to the ICU because we felt the nurses there just gave Doreen wonderful care and they were so helpful. They really seemed to go above and beyond and we were grateful for the care they provided,” said Sereda. “My children and I decided to make donations so that we could buy the medication cart the

Representing 8 Different Farm Insurance Companies Including www.farrellagencies.com
The next generation of farmers Last week, an event held in Regina indicated there is still a good future for farming on the Canadian Prairies. The Saskatchewan’s Outstanding Young Farmer Award was presented. at the Canadian Farm Progress Show. This year, I had an opportunity to interview the three finalists. I even managed to do a farm feature on Jordan and Jennifer Lindgren, who farm near Norquay. We often hear concerns from people involved in agriculture that one of the biggest issues facing the sector is attracting the next generation of farmers. It’s not that no young person wants to farm,
but there is a huge cost to acquiring a viable farm these days, and that is a daunting thing for many. Jordan Lindgren touched on the costs when we spoke. There was never any hesitation to buy out the farm, but it took planning, the Lindgrens related. There were kitchen table discussions regarding succession, and Jordan and Jennifer were helped out by having some of their own land and equipment to soften the impact of taking over. “We were preparing for it … We had built up to where we were able to do it,” said Jennifer. The move increased the couple’s debt load,

Calvin Daniels but Jordan said debt is part of farming these days. If someone is going to farm “debt is going to be part of it,” he said. “If there’s no risk, there’s no reward,” added Jennifer. Without a base, Jordan said starting to farm today would be very difficult. “Trying to start up (from scratch) is almost
impossible with the costs that are involved,” he said. But few can just take over a farm, either. Even parents and relatives need money from selling their operation to retire on. “We had to buy everything,” said Jordan Lindgren, noting his father and uncle deserved to be paid for
what they had built up through their partnership of near four decades. “It’s what they had worked their whole entire lives for. They deserved getting the most they could out of all their hard work.” But the three Outstanding Young Farmer finalists saw the potential in the sector to take the risk. Lee and Shannon Sluser, along with their two young children, operate a fourth generation family farm near Glenavon in southeast Saskatchewan. They entered into an agreement to purchase the operations of the family farm seven years ago from Lee’s parents. Since that time they
have added 5500 acres to their farm and plan to continue expanding operations in the future. Michael and Jessica Lovich own and operate Lovholm Holsteins at Balgonie, Saskatchewan. They were both born and raised on dairy farms in Alberta where they got their start in the dairy industry. The couple purchased their farm in Saskatchewan two and a half years ago. The paths are different, the focus of their farms is different, too, but they are each an example of young people committed to the business of farming. That is a positive sign for agriculture.
Crop report: Lack of rain remains a problem Across the province, seventy-five per cent of the pulse crops and fall and spring cereals are at their normal stages of development, while 70 per cent of the oilseeds are at their normal stages of development for this time of year, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s weekly Crop Report. Many areas reported rain showers this week, with large amounts recorded in the west-central region. The Rosthern area received 54 mm of rain, the Kindersley and Moosomin areas 30
mm, the Biggar area 35 mm and the Frobisher area 20 mm. Many areas in the southwestern and west-central regions remain very dry, including Gull Lake, Shaunavon, Outlook and Dinsmore, which have received less than 25 mm of rain since April 1. Provincially, topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as four per cent surplus, 67 per cent adequate, 24 per cent short and five per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 61 per cent ade-
quate, 28 per cent short and 11 per cent very short. Topsoil moisture is in shortest supply in the southwest. Crops, hay and pasture in these areas are affected by the dry conditions. In the parts of the south that received rain over the last few weeks, annual crop conditions have improved; however, hay yield is expected to be lower than average and pastures are expected to have reduced carrying capacity going into the summer months. Less wind this week allowed produc-
ers to do some in-crop weed control, which had been interrupted in previous weeks due to strong winds. The majority of crop damage this week was due to lack of moisture. Cutworms are still causing damage in some areas. A complete, printable version of the Crop Report is available online at http:// www.saskatchewan.ca/crop-report.

Wheat reclassification August 1 The Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission (Sask Wheat), the Alberta Wheat Commission (AWC) and the Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers Association (MWBGA) are asking Prairie grain farmers to be prepared for the upcoming reclassification of 29 wheat varieties. On Aug. 1, 2018, 25 varieties of wheat currently classified as Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) and four varieties currently classified as Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) will be reclassified into the Canada Northern Hard Red (CNHR) class. “We want farmers to have a plan to market any remaining wheat that is transitioning to a new class on Aug. 1,” says Sask Wheat Chair Laura Reiter. “It is important farmers know what they have in their bins and that they communicate with their local elevator or buyers soon to make
sure they are able to maximize the return on these varieties.” In February 2015, the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) announced the Canadian wheat class modernization process. The process was undertaken to maintain the quality, enhance the consistency and support the marketability of Canadian wheat. In December 2015, the CGC announced the creation of the CNHR and Canada Western Special Purpose wheat classes. Many producers have been preparing over the last two years by transitioning to varieties not designated for reclassification. However, according to the CGC’s 2017 Grain Varieties by Acreage Insured Report, 491,108 acres of wheat varieties which are designated for the CNHR class on Aug. 1, including Harvest, Lillian and Unity, were still grown in Western Canada in 2017.
“The CGC is not allowing any grace period for producers after the July 31st deadline,” said Kevin Bender, AWC Chair. “We therefore think it’s important that farmers negotiate the best possible terms for the varieties being reclassified and be aware that grain companies will have until Dec. 31, 2018 to ship any remaining stocks from the system as CWRS and CPSR.” Producers who have a contracted delivery date after August 1 for a transitioning variety should contact their elevator or grain buyer as soon as possible to ensure their grain will be accepted as CWRS or CPSR. Wheat varieties classified as CNHR are expected to sell at a discount to the CWRS and CPSR classes. “The MWBGA is happy to partner with our fellow wheat organizations in communicating to Western Canadian producers the importance of making a tran-
sition plan,” says Fred Greig, MWBGA Chair. “Maintaining the quality of the CWRS class is important to Canada’s
reputation and will benefit farmers. While the reclassified varieties are still registered and can be grown, we strongly
recommend that farmers arrange their marketing options for these varieties prior to future plantings.”

One hundred years ago, Deere & Company purchased the Waterloo Gasoline Traction Engine Company with the intent of building tractors. That purchase lead to the John Deere we know today. Pattison
Agriculture celebrated the history of the company by bringing out an array of classic tractors for people to enjoy. They also looked to the future, raising money for the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital.

Thunderstorm tech blackout
As we stepped out from the theatre, Saskatchewan slapped us in the face. On Friday, as is tradition, I trekked to Yorkton Tower Theatre for my weekly movie review. The cinematic offering was Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. A friend (we’ll call him Michael Crichton in honour of the movie’s source material) joined me. After two hours of mindless dinodestruction (check out the full review on our website, wink wink, nudge nudge), we stood up and stretched to relieve our bodies from the agony of sitting in
barely-cushioned chairs. We decided to get a bite to eat. We waded through the packed lobby, sidestepping families and couples. We pushed past the door and entered a tsunami. During our moviegoing experience, the skies had erupted into a massive thundershower. Rain filled every square inch of Yorkton. Rumbling thunder seemed to shake the ground (okay, that might be a tad hyperbolic). Crichton and I decided to bail on food and return to our respective homes to make sure we’d

Looking away from our screens, even for a moment, can be the key to a clear head. Our rough weekend storm was a nice reminder about life away from the constant buzz of 2018. Of course, once the power came back 30 minutes later, I plugged in my phone, turned on all the lights, and restarted my Wi-Fi. I said I like to step away; I didn’t say I like to walk away.

But sitting in the dark as lightning and rain raged outside my window felt oddly relaxing. The storm stripped away all the distractions in my home, leaving me with

DZIADUCK - Anton A. Dziaduck of Yorkton and formerly of the Buchanan district, went home to his Lord after a brief illness, passing away in Yorkton Union Hospital in the early hours of Sunday, June 17, 2018. Just as his devoted wife of 39 years, Pauline (Danyluk), cared for him until the end and ensured that he received the prayers and Christian sacraments in his last days, Anton lovingly looked after the needs of his wife until his departure. Anton was born on October 27, 1927 on the family farm seven miles south of Buchanan, the eldest son of Lena (Wasylkiw) and Alex Dziaduck. His father passed away in the middle of the Great Depression when Anton was only 8 years old and he had to assume many manly duties of farming and cattle-raising from this early age. He remembered his father teaching him prayers in his native Polish language. He stepped in to raise the family, which included sisters, Mary, Jean and Olga and a younger brother, Steve. His devotion to work and family led him to discontinue attending Vasiloutz School, but his knowledge and experience continued while still a young teenager and once family members reached adulthood he continued to live with and care for his widowed mother. He saved enough money to buy himself a Charles Atlas Body Building Course in the 1930s and set upon doing the exercises daily. He gained some logging experience in the interior of British Columbia where he worked as a choke-setter, attaching cables to logs so they could be retrieved by skidders. “Anton A”, as local people knew him, was a dedicated farmer and good cattleman, raising cattle on the community pasture adjoining his land. He had a keen practiced eye for buying cattle. Many people valued his expert opinion, often asking that he accompany them to auctions. He was also an excellent hunter and a bullseye marksman. To his last day, he knew exactly when hunting seasons and draws would open. He was an excellent neighbour and a loyal friend. A strong Christian believer, he regularly attended Ss. Constantine and Helena Ukrainian Catholic Church near Buchanan and later St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Parish and St. Gerrard’s Roman Catholic Church in Yorkton. Anton was quick to acknowledge God’s providential care, especially in two farm incidents. The first was when his jacket was caught in a grain auger. In that split second, he called the name of Christ. The machine stopped and he used his jack-knife to cut his jacket free. The second time was when he was being tossed by a bull in his yard one hot summer day and at that very moment a neighbour came driving into his rather isolated yard. Life’s new chapter for Anton began in the mid-1970s with his decision to move to Yorkton after the passing of his mother. He became acquainted with a girl from “the other side of the lake”, Pauline Danyluk, a teacher, whom he met at a local wedding. The tanned, strong man wearing a Stetson won her heart and they were married on April 16, 1979 at St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church, Yorkton by Reverend Father Paul Maluga. Together, Pauline and Anton engaged in many delightful, seasonal life activities that included picking mushrooms, spring and fall, gathering cranberries for juice, caring for gardens in town and on the farm and attending old time dances. They showed wonderful hospitality to family and friends. They even took a turn at dance lessons and enjoyed learning the tango and cha-cha! In the last few years, it wouldn’t be Saturday night without their tuning in to CJGX’s Saturday Night Get Together and one week before Anton fell ill, they danced a fast polka in their kitchen. In later years, Anton would listen attentively as Pauline read him the daily Scripture readings. Although he was, by nature, quiet and reflective, he was quick to joke, especially in his Ukrainian language. Their German Shephard was their beloved pet and in the Ukrainian tradition, they shared bits of the Sviat Vecher with him after the meal. Long walks on the northern edge of Yorkton to see the ducks and geese helped to keep Anton fit and he never, till his last days, neglected his physical exercises, learned some seventy years earlier. Anton was always keen on current events and could converse on international affairs. He was able to do mental mathematical calculations faster than most using a pencil and paper. Besides his wife, Pauline, Anton leaves to mourn, his sister, Mary (Katchur) of Yorkton; his brothers-in-law, Dan (Carol) Danyluk and Vasil (Kathy) Szalasznyj of Saskatoon, sister-in-law, Sandra Reimer of Saskatoon, together with many nephews and nieces in Saskatchewan and Alberta: Phyllis Lukey, Cornell (Marian) Haliuk, Kim (Debbie) Haliuk, Noel (Garth) Kowalchuk, Darcy Moore, Sheldon (Karen) Dziaduck, Trent Dziaduck, Darla Dziaduck, Dee Dee (Gordon) Hannah, Milton Powers, Stephanie (Colin Skrapek) Danyluk, Matthew (Teri) Danyluk, Victoria (Kyle Kitchen) Danyluk, Bernadette (Kyle) Wylie, Cassandra Danyluk, Garry (Donna) Danyluk, Dean (Trish) Hrycyk, Daniel (Maureen) Hrycyk, Celina Hrycyk, Alexander Shalashniy and Anastasia Szalasznyj.

STONEHAM - It is with our deepest sadness, we announce the untimely death of Karen Marie Stoneham (Shuya) on Monday, June 11, 2018 at the age of 57. Karen was born to John and Luba Shuya on Feb.17, 1961 and she grew up on the family farm outside of Hyas, SK. It was here where she learned the importance of hard work. She attended school in Norquay and later finished post-secondary business diploma in Yorkton. Karen loved to spend time with her large family and was always busy in the kitchen preparing one of her many loved Ukrainian dishes or famous dill pickles. She always had a smile on her face and was generous and kind with compliments and laughter. She planted large gardens year after year and there was always an abundance of homemade food to eat. She loved people and loved to host; many gatherings with friends and family took place over the years at the farm, in Norquay or in Yorkton. Throughout her life, Karen showed her social nature working at many different jobs. She was naturally compassionate and regularly worked with children, the elderly and the sick. Later, Karen decided to try her hand at entrepreneurship and opened her own business. Most recently, she worked as a junior grain trader in Yorkton. She was enjoying her semi-retirement by travelling and visiting family in Alberta and New Brunswick. Karen is survived by her husband Shawn Stoneham and was the loving mother of 3 daughters: Vanessa Fantillo (Collin), Kristin Catto (Nate), Andria Adams (Mason) from her marriage with Bruce Sorochuk. Karen was an incredible Baba to Christian Fantillo, Petra Catto and Wilder Catto. Karen was a sister to Dennis (Rose), Vicky, Chris (Herb), Marlene (Brian), Patrick (Charmaine), Wayne, Darcy (Milton), Loretta (Calvin), Laurie (Cindy), Darryl (Cindi), Theresa (Cindy), Patricia (Dawn), Paulette (Murray), Timothy (Lorissa), Catherine (Dan) and had numerous nieces and nephews which she loved dearly. She was pre-deceased by her parents, John and Luba Shuya and great-niece Taya Anaka. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Karen may be made to Diabetes Canada. Funeral service was held on Friday, June 22, 2018 at 2:00pm at Christie’s Funeral Home at 121 Palliser Way, Yorkton, SK.
PROPP - Ethel Selma Irene Propp (nee Graves) was born on March 26, 1924 in Loomis (Echo), SK, a small community south of Eastend in Frontier Rural Municipality. She was the third child born to Milton and Helen (nee Wilde) Graves. At a young age Ethel moved with her family to Lang, SK. Ethel attended school there, excelling in her studies. After her graduation from Grade 12, the Graves family moved to Regina. Ethel furthered her education at Balfour Technical School by taking a Business course and showing a proficiency in typing and shorthand. After completing the course, she found employment as a stenographer at Hudson Paper in Regina. Ethel was always active in her churches in Lang and Regina. She often attended Echo Lake Church Camp in the summers where she shared her love of music with her beautiful voice. She sang many solos and participated in ensemble groups. During the 1940’s, she even sang on CKCK Radio in Regina on a program called The Sunday School of the Air. It was during her time at Hudson Paper that she became acquainted with the Propp family from Yorkton whose business purchased paper products there. John had just returned home after serving in the Second World War when he met his beautiful Ethel on November 11, 1946 in Regina. It was love at first sight. There was a whirlwind courtship and an engagement on Christmas Eve of 1946 followed by their wedding in Regina on May 14, 1947. John and Ethel then settled into their new life in Yorkton. Their marriage was blessed with six children: Richard in 1948, Randall in 1951, Debra in 1954, Judith in 1960, Alan James (Jim) in 1961 and Timothy in 1967. Ethel was a busy wife and mother who was a wonderful cook, baker, seamstress, knitter and gardener. She was a dedicated church member who taught Sunday School, presided over Ladies’ Aid and shared her beautiful voice in Sunday services. In 1970, John took over the running of Propp’s Foodateria and Ethel went back to work with him. They ran their business together until retiring in 1990. Retirement years were spent spoiling grandchildren, socializing on coffee row and travelling. Ethel continued to enjoy many musical activities in her church and community. Highlights for Ethel were singing in the Christmas and Easter cantatas and in the Yorkton Singing Christmas Tree. Ethel was also a faithful member of the Lion L’s where she helped with planning and running the Annual Kiddies Day Parade. She was truly a wonderful mother who loved each of her children with all of her heart. Ethel always put her children first in her life and always wanted the best for each of them. As grandchildren and later great-grandchildren arrived that same amazing love was there for them. She faithfully prayed for her family each and every day. The loss of her beloved John in 2015 was devastating for Ethel and she found it very difficult to live without him. She eventually moved into the Yorkton Crossing in March 2016 to receive the extra care she needed. Declining health and dementia took so much of Ethel from us. After many months of calling to her Jesus, He came to take her home on Sunday morning June 10, 2018. Ethel peacefully left her home on earth and passed into the arms of her beloved Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Ethel leaves to celebrate her life, children: Rick (Barbara) of Calgary, Randy of Yorkton, Deb (Bob) Thompson of Yorkton, Judy Phillips of Victoria, Jim (Susan) of Saskatoon and Tim (Cher) of Calgary. Her grandchildren: Jeff (Dana), Jenna (Sam), Jillian (Matt), Christiaan, Shannon (Kelly), Crystal (Jody), James (Caitlin), Amanda (Ryan), Daniel (Angela), Bethany, Kaetlyn, Dirk (Keli) and Madison. Great-grandchildren: Benjamin, Aria, Nathan, Isaac, William, Taye, Olivia, Carter, Mekhi, Hayden, Reed, Abby, Jonathan, Garnett, Ciara and Nixon. Her sister Ferne, sistersin-law, Hilda, Ella and Joanne as well as many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Ethel was predeceased by her beloved John, her parents Milton and Helen as well her brothers Wes and Elwood. Friends are invited to join the family for a Celebration of Life service on Saturday, June 30, 2018 at 2:00pm at the Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre.

During their retirement they enjoyed gardening, fishing, family gatherings and spending time with their grandchildren. Peter and Lena were always active members of the Orthodox Church. Some of Lena’s other pastimes included knitting, crocheting, baking and preserving, reading the Bible and helping her family in any way she could. Peter and Lena embraced their Ukrainian heritage by having traditional celebrations such as Christmas and Easter. Some of the special values they passed on to their family were love, forgiveness and a strong Christian faith, mirrored in their 76Ω years of marriage. Lena is survived by her children, Doreen (Rodney) Haberstock, Deanna (Orest) Tanchyk, Margaret (Len) Mutz, Steve Sawchuk, Debbie (Ivan) Morash, Cheryl (Myron) Trafananko, 18 grandchildren, 35 great-grandchildren, 8 great-greatgrandchildren and brother-in-law John Sawchuk.

MATHUIK - Eunice Mathuik (nee Zenkewich). January 20, 1938 - June 16, 2018. Surrounded by her loving family, Mom entered heaven on June 16, 2018 after a very brief illness. Mom was predeceased by her father and mother Harry and Mary Zenkewich, her son Gerald “Jerry” Mathuik and brothers Nick and Peter Zenkewich. Leaving to cherish her memory are her loving husband, Andy of almost 63 years, son Kelvin (Terri) Mathuik; daughter, Livia (Richard) Ford as well as grandchildren, Andre, Jakon, Kristi, Scott, Sean, Jaelyn, sister Nancy Yanko, brothers Michael (Imelda), William (Julie) and Walter. Mom also leaves behind an extended family of 64 nieces and nephews. Mom was the fourth youngest of 7 siblings. At the age of three her mother passed away. Mom and her siblings were raised by her dad and step mother Vera on a family farm north of Hubbard. Mom and her siblings assisted in the farm’s operations as a super “hired man” from milking cows, cooking, cleaning to truck operator. Mom attended Beaver Hills School and always enjoyed the 4 mile trek by foot, bike or horse buggy. On Oct 16, 1955 mom and dad were united in marriage at St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Yorkton. This October they would have celebrated 63 years of blessed marriage. On January 20, 1968 mom/dad moved into their brand new family home which they lived in for over 50 years. This was a joyous event as it was mom’s birthday. Mom was an avid gardening, producing an abundance of vegetables and fruits. Everyone got an abundance of produce from mom always! Her gardening won her the praise of everyone including a City of Yorkton garden award. Mom joined the UCWL in 1971. She was a very active member, convening for funeral services as well as the annual bazaars. She spent 35 years at this task. She also was very involved in many fundraising activities within the club. Mom also served as president and other roles in the Kalyna Ukrainian Dancing Troup. In addition, mom and dad gave countless volunteer hours at the St. Mary’s Cultural Centre. Mom was always a gracious host. No one ever left her home hungry. We will never forget her saying “ take/eat” or “you did not get enough to eat”. She was an awesome cook - especially her paska’s, baba’s pyrohy, holopsti, borscht and last but not least, lemon meringue pie. Mom was always giving to others. Her friendly chats and constant encouragement were comfort to everyone she knew. Heaven has gotten a new angel with the best dimples. I know she is looking down on all of us saying “be happy and please keep smiling”. Love you mom/Baba! MATHUIK - Gerald “Jerry” Clinton Mathuik. September 10, 1959 - May 7, 2018. Gerald “Jerry” passed away suddenly on May 7, 2018 while in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Leaving to cherish his memory are his loving father, Andy, his son’s Andre and Jakon, brother Kelvin (Terri) Mathuik, sister Livia (Richard) Ford as well as nieces and nephews Sean, Jaelyn, Kristi and Scott. In addition, he leaves behind numerous aunts/uncles, cousins and friends - notably Dwayne and Kurt “Sporty”. Jerry loved to travel. His favourite destinations were the Yukon, Guatemala and Mexico. Jerry loved the outdoors. He was truly at peace when out camping, hiking, canoeing and/or fishing. He could have easily been the star of “survivor man” had he cast for the part. Jerry was a talented artist. Many of his family and friends have been blessed with some of his artist sketches and/or painting. Jerry was also a gifted musician. I am sure the angels, including mom, are enjoying his guitar and harmonica playing. Jerry loved life! He was a generous soul who gave unselfishly to others. Jerry and mom are now holding hands in heaven and telling all of us to love one another. Love you Jerry! The Funeral Liturgy was held on Friday, June 22, 2018 at St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Yorkton with Rev. Father Ray Lukie, C.Ss.R. as the Celebrant. The responses were led by Laurie, Ron Wizniak and parish choir members. The Cross Bearer was Jaelyn Ford and the epistle reader was Jane Chorney. Members of the Ukrainian Catholic Women’s League participated in an honour guard. The interment took place in the Garden of Crucifixion at Yorkton Memorial Gardens with Sean Ford, Barry Fedyk, Daniel Fedyk, Gordon Chorney, Lionel Woytas and Wade Zenkewich serving as the casket bearers. Following a memorial dinner, tributes were given by Sheila Zenkawich, Jaelyn Ford and Chantel Saunders. Memorials in memory of Eunice/Jerry may be made to St. Mary’s Church or the SK Lung Association as gifts of remembrance. Condolences to the family can be sent to www.baileysfuneralhome.com.

HUNTER - Marjorie October 29, 1929 - June 4, 2018. The family of Marjorie Joan (Marj) Hunter (Pardoe) advises that she passed peacefully on June 4 at the age of 88, in Nanaimo, BC. She is survived by her four children; Susan (Dan) Haslam of Nanaimo, BC, Graeme (Susan) Hunter of Regina, SK, Glen (Cathy) Hunter of Edmonton, AB, Ian (Sonja) Hunter of Calgary, AB, eight grandchildren, and two great grandchildren as well as her brother Maurice (Jean) Pardoe of Saskatoon, SK, her husband’s sister Joy (Alex, deceased) Sutherland and her sister-in-law Cec (George, deceased) Hunter. She was predeceased by her husband of 62 years, Robert Hunter and by her brother Geoff (Helen) Pardoe. Marj started her work career at Sasktel where she was to meet future husband Bob. After their marriage Marj became a stay at home mom for the four kids, transitioning to the workforce first part-time and later full-time as the kids went to school. Marj worked in clerical positions in the Saskatoon hospital system before working in the public school system, a job that gave her summers off to spend at her beloved Emerald Lake cottage. The family moved to Yorkton in 1968 when Bob transferred to a new position with Sasktel. Mom made many new friends there, particularly through her work at the Yorkton Co-op and Hearn’s Pharmacy. Marj no longer worked outside the home after Bob’s retirement from Sasktel, nor did she have the time as she became Nana to the grandchildren who started appearing shortly after Mom entered retirement. Mom really came into her own as a Nana and spent countless hours either with the grandchildren, or creating crafts along with fond and loving memories for them. Mom and Dad also enjoyed winters in Texas, playing golf and bridge with their many winter Texan friends. When travel to Texas was no longer feasible Bob and Marj moved to Qualicum Beach, BC where they enjoyed the mild climate. Unfortunately our real Mom left us several years ago due to Alzheimer’s. What the family used to think was her worst enemy became her best friend as in her later years the disease allowed her to enjoy her life for what it was, not what she could no longer remember. Marj was a favorite with staff and residents at Nanaimo Seniors Village where she spent her last years. The family extends their gratitude to the staff at NSV for the care and compassion shown to Marj during her years there. Mom spent the last week of her life on palliative care, allowing her to pass peacefully with rotating family (son Graeme, daughter Susan, and grand-daughter Tegan) by her side. We are thankful for having Mom in our lives and happy that she is now resting in peace. At Dad and Mom’s request there will be no funeral. In the summer there will be a joint family memorial for both Dad and Mom after which their ashes will be scattered according to their wishes. We request no flowers or other remembrances; a toast to Marj at your convenience would be a nice gesture. We miss you Mom, rest in peace.

www.baileysfuneralhome.com DENESIUK - Michalina ‘Mae’ Denesiuk (nee Misko) went to the Lord on Wednesday, June 20, 2018. Left to grieve are her children Byron of Kelowna, BC, Kim (Ron) of Summerland, BC, Sheldon (Linda) of Calgary, BC and Kelowna, BC and Holly (Tim) of Kelowna, BC; grandsons Derek Denesiuk, Joshua Sarada and Jeremy (Selina) Sarada; sister Elsie Tkachuk of Moose Jaw, SK; brothers-in-law Orest (Nettie) Denesiuk of Edmonton, AB, Merv (Emma) Denesiuk of Edmonton, AB; sister-in-law Anne (Nick) Tkatchuk of Vancouver, BC and a host of nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Mae was predeceased by her husband Walter Denesiuk in 1996. Born on the farm in Fenwood, SK on April “Twag”(12th), 1930, Mae was the 12th of 13 children, the 9th daughter of Mary (nee Smuk) and John Misko. She went to Maxwellton School, a one room building with one teacher, 9 grades and 45 students. She excelled in baseball and hockey and was always the fastest racer (her words!). She claims being the 2nd last of 13 children taught her to be quick, especially when it came to grabbing the delicious crust off the homemade bread and licking it so no other sibling would grab it. She moved to Yorkton, SK to the city house the family owned and sold chickens, eggs and farm produce door to door. She met Walter Denesiuk at the dance hall in Goodeve, SK and they married in 1950. They moved to the Denesiuk homestead outside of Goodeve and farmed for 30 years while raising 4 children. Auntie Mae was a favourite of all the nieces and nephews and often had many of them holidaying at the farm. They all loved her twisted fairy tales where all the villains met a demise far more traumatizing and worse than the original authors could ever imagine. Mae moved to Moose Jaw, SK and started working at Valleyview Centre, where she spent 15 happy years. She was loved by all the residents and had a soft spot for resident Billy Scott and his puppies. She was thrilled to become a grandmother to Derek Denesiuk and to Joshua and Jeremy Sarada and visited them in Summerland as often as she could. After retirement, Mae joined the ladies auxiliary of the Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and spent many years making pierogis, cabbage rolls, bread, cinnamon buns and pies. She always loved to sing and joined the choir at the church and sang Ukrainian folk songs and hymns daily. She was a voracious reader and read anything, but was especially fond of the National Examiner, which she read with as much gusto as the latest best seller by Janette Walls or Patricia Cornwall. Her favourite music was country and western and Shania Twain was her hero, alongside Pavarotti, Placedo Domingo and Beverly Sills. Mae’s favourite hobby was gambling, first at the bingo halls of Moose Jaw and Regina with her best friend/sister Elsie, before they moved onto the casinos. They took many fun bus trips to different casinos and according to Mae, she always came out ahead! Mae moved to Summerland, BC when she turned 80 years old to be closer to her family and we took full advantage of being able to spend time bonding with her. She was a joy. She enjoyed playing bingo at the Seniors’ Centre on Mondays, happy hour with her friends at Parkdale Place, the Fall Fair at the arena and as often as she could, the casino at the Penticton Lakeside Resort. When she turned 83 she moved into the Summerland Seniors Village and became involved in activities hosted by the facility such as dances, performances,, and sightseeing trips. She had a warm, inviting demeanor and terrific sense of humour and was always ready to socialize and tell a long drawn out story, with a different ending every time. Even after being confined to a wheelchair she was quick to show off her self-taught tap dancing skills. She had the unique gift of effortlessly having people feel welcome, accepted and loved in her presence, always. She was a good-will ambassador and an example of how wonderful people can be. Many thanks to the staff on 2CD at the Summerland Seniors Village for helping Mae in the last year and especially the staff on SP3 at the Penticton Regional Hospital for making Mae’s final transition a peaceful and calm experience for her and her family. We gratefully acknowledge the wonderful care shown to Mae by “Doktor Catty” Harrold and her staff over the years; Mae really enjoyed being your patient. A Memorial Mass will be held in Saskatchewan at a later date. Contact the family for service details. Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com 250-494-7752.

Kopan’s Funeral Service
KopansFuneralService_1x48.nil In Memoriam R001340528.indd.indd WERNER Richard Brennan. In comp7/DB -1x48L (class) memory •wed tfc of our son, brother and KOPTIE - Mrs. Sophie Koptie, 90, of Yorkton, SK, passed away from medical complications on June 16, 2018 at the Yorkton Regional Hospital. Sophie was born to Catherine and Michael Teslak on October 7, 1927 and was one of fourteen siblings. She married Thomas Koptie and was blessed with two children, Margaret and Norman. Sophie lived in Saltcoats, SK for a majority of her life, living initially on a farm. Later, she owned the Saltcoats Beauty Salon and Barbershop alongside Tom. She continued as a hairdresser for forty-two years. Her children also lived in Saltcoats and she was very involved in raising her five granddaughters, Shelly, Lana, Stephanie, Ashlee and Kathleen. She was active in the community, enjoyed her bingo evenings and loved visiting with her friends. She later moved to Yorkton where she met many other close friends while living at Fairview Arms. She volunteered her time at the nursing home, helping residents play Bingo and styling hair for those who requested her services. She was strong and resolute in her religious beliefs and faith in the Catholic Church. She gave others what she had or worked to ensure they received what they needed. Family was priority and she loved spending time with all of her relatives. She loved to garden and took the time to preserve, can or freeze what she so lovingly grew. She was always baking or cooking and took pride in sharing Ukrainian traditional foods and created her own “baba’s soup” along the way. She taught herself to crochet and provided many people with her beautiful table and dresser cloths. She is preceded in death by her husband, Thomas Koptie; parents, Catherine and Michael Teslak; siblings Mary, Alex, Matt, Steve, Andy, Bill, Paul, Joseph, Anne and Nancy. She leaves to mourn her passing and to celebrate her life, her daughter, Margaret and her husband Don Bruner; her son, Norman and his wife, Debbie Koptie; her sisters Rose Kowch, Ruby Hebert, Kay Blahut; granddaughters Shelly (and Chip) Kinney, Lana Bruner, Stephanie (and Bryan) Lockhart, Ashlee Koptie, Kathleen Koptie, great-grandchildren Edward and Sarah Kinney; numerous nieces and nephews, who she held dear to her heart. Pall-bearers included family members Dave Dubnyk, Jim Blahut, Jack Blahut, Charlie Teslak, Stephanie Lockhart, Lana Bruner and Shelly Kinney. Cross bearers included granddaughters Ashlee and Kathleen Koptie. Memorials may be given to the Yorkton Health Foundation, designated to their current priority of digitizing lab services for the Yorkton Hospital. Sophie’s family wish to extend their sincere thanks to the Yorkton Hospital and the many ICU and hospital nursing staff and physicians who cared for her in the short time she was ill. Prayers and visitation were held at 7:00 pm Wednesday, June 20 at Christie’s Funeral Home. Funeral service was held at 10:00 am Thursday, June 21 at St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church with Father Raymond Lukie officiating. Interment was at the Saltcoats Cemetery. Vichnaya Pamyat!

Time to get offended
I guess I’m the latest snowflake of society to be offended by certain spoken terms. I’m going to outline two of them this week. The first of which is in sports when I hear fans, coaches, and players describe a bad attitude from someone in the locker room as being a ‘cancer’. A person who doesn’t get along with others is not a ‘cancer’. Cancer is a very real disease and to have it marginalized by sports people in referencing someone with character issues doesn’t sit well with me. The other instance where I find the spoken word to be truly offensive is when people refer to something as ‘Nazi’. This term gets thrown around in the most ignorant manner imaginable.

MIKE STACKHOUSE mikestackhouse@hotmail.com
Stackhouse Soapbox cated person, who gets to teach university students at Waterloo and brainwash young minds, tweeted out that the American government’s methods with regards to curbing illegal immigration reminds him a lot of what Nazis do. Now, I know there has been a lot of false information in the news lately surrounding what really is going on with regards to children being separated from their parents when seeking asylum and I’ll try to sift through that further down in this column, but there is not a single instance anywhere that you can show me where the American government is forcing anyone to live in inhuman conditions, torturing, or killing folks just for the heck of it. Ask a Jew who has real knowledge of Nazi treatment and then get back to me as to whether or not any of what we refer to as ‘Hitler’ or ‘Nazi’ applies. It, simply, does not. To infer it does really downplays what Jews were subjected to in the 1930s and 40s. Jewish people from the 30s and 40s would trade places with detained illegal American immigrants in a heartbeat I assure you. There is a ton of misinformation out there when it comes to families being separated, but keep in mind there will be abuse no matter what system is implemented. Nothing is perfect. There’s always going to be a horror story. However, if you cross the border into the United States at an offi-

cial port of entry and you come with your children and have the proper documentation, nobody is separated at all. In almost all of the cases where adults and children are split up, these are the scenarios: the child is taken if there is no way to confirm the claimed relationship between grown up and child. If the parent is a national security risk or safety risk, the child is taken away. If the parent is facing criminal charges (crossing the border illegally would qualify as a criminal offense) it may be inappropriate to keep the child in a detention facility with the parent. The child and adult are also separated if the adult is suspected of human trafficking. There are cases, because the American government has turned a blind eye to people who come across illegally with kids, where a person brings an unrelated child across the border and then is released from custody because he/she has a child on the premise he/she will appear in court at a future date. Naturally, the adult fails to show for court and is at large. The welfare of the child? Who knows. So, the American government is putting children from these situations into facilities where it’s best for the child’s well being. Approximately 80% of the children shown in the news this past week, arrived by themselves. Now, these facilities are not akin to the Taj Mahal. Some media
have called them cages. Well, I suppose when you have to provide modest bedrooms for children, you are not going to see hotels. But, these kids are well taken care of and are fed, have access to video games, television, education, and other things American and Canadian kids have access to. Don’t blame the government. Blame the adults who risk the safety of their children when they break the rules to gain entry to the United States. By the way, if the US is such a bad place to live, why are people still trying (in record numbers) to move there? To simplify it better, if you (as a Canadian or American citizen) commit a crime and go to jail, you don’t get to take your kids with you. Your kids are put in homes with other relatives or become wards of the state. The same thing happens here. The American government searches for relatives so the kids can go to a familiar setting. But, if they arrive with a stranger and the stranger is deported, it would be irresponsible to send the child home with the stranger that the youth arrived with. So, when media says the parents are deported and the kids are stuck in a government facility, that’s really not true. Is the system perfect? No, of course not. But, I come back to this very fundamental requirement that shouldn’t be difficult to follow: go to a legal port of entry and have some paperwork to prove you and your children are who you say you are and there will be no worries of being separated. Still think this is how Nazis did things? CNN, NBC, and Canadian university professors apparently do. Nice person mentions this week: Darren Wandy, Cole McCaig, Kathleen Vogel, Lorne Wilson, and Natalie Smith.

Go to battle and play Aristeia Miniature war gaming is a favourite of mine, in particular skirmish level battles. Skirmish games are small scale affairs, rarely more than a dozen miniatures to a side, and that effectively limits to important things, the cost, and the room required. Full army games such as Warmachine or Warhammer 40,000 can encompass dozens of miniatures, generally with a number of larger pieces, (think tanks) and cost hundreds, even thousands, of dollars to field a competitive army for large scale battles. The more minis, the larger the table required, along with the terrain to cover it. So skirmish games such as MERCs and Blackwater Gulch are more accessible. In games such as MERCs, the miniatures have freedom of movement, typically limited only in distance as laid out by a tape measure. But recently a number
of games have emerged where players each control a small number of miniatures, maneuvering across a board, much like chess pieces on a grid board. Such games are very easy for players to grasp in terms of movement and are ideal as an entry game to freer form miniature game options. One of the games played on a hexagon grid board is Aristeia from Corvus Belli, best known for its large scale battle game Infinity. With the background of a well-defined gaming world, Aristeia has a build in heritage to draw upon. The rulebook ‘fluff’ notes, “… 175 years into the future, humanity has reached the stars. The nations of old coalesced into federated blocs who proceeded to carve up any star systems found suitable for human habitation. Technology has advanced beyond our wildest dreams, but its benefits are still available only to those who can pay. Synthetic bodies, artificial intelli-
THE MEEPLE GUILD (Yorkton) meeple.guild@gmail.com gence, a data network connecting planets lightyears apart, miraculous regenerative medicine … The presence of all these technologies has enabled the creation of Aristeia, the high-stakes contact sport that’s sweeping the Human Sphere. “Tens of millions of fans keep their eyes glued to their holoscreens for the thrill that this match could be the last for their favourite fighters, some of whom enjoy an unprecedented level of celebrity adoration on Maya. Aristeia is non-stop action and top-level athleticism. Get connected and enjoy.” The idea of a battle arena watched by fans is
not new, starting with the gladiatorial games in the real history of our world, but it works here. The eight characters included in the base game of Aristeia (yes, there are planned expansions) are of course colourful, larger-thanlife, participants. Players select a team of four, so within the eight the mix-and-match possibilities are good, and new characters will build replay-ability. Each character has special skills and its own movement limitations. Learning how work your team to best support other characters is fun. Aristeia uses cards to add some random-
ness to things, with good moves potentially being trumped by the cards of the opponent. Randomness is not a favourite for me in general, but in an arena battle it helps reflect a level of mayhem. The cards are a tad ‘busy’ with a lot of iconography to grasp, so there is a learning curve which will send you to the rulebook checking what things mean the first game or two, although experienced mini gamers won’t get bogged down too much. A new player, though, may find it a bit daunting. “Throughout five game rounds, players direct their character’s actions to meet goals of the scenario, earning victory points to win the game. The first player to collect eight victory points wins. Failing that, the player with the most victory points at the end of the fifth round wins. If there’s a tie, the player with the most frag tokens wins,” explains the rules, and that sums up the
game, although different goal-based scenarios are part of the mix as you get into the game in more detail. Overall, the great minis (Corvus Belli in known for that) are a definite plus. There is real strategic depth to explore here, and with new characters coming, mark this one as well worth exploring. Thanks to fellow gamers Jeff Chasse, Trevor Lyons and Adam Daniels for their help in running through this game for review.
