Legion cairn finds new home

By Sean Mott Staff Writer A Yorkton monument moved to a different home two weeks ago. It will receive a new plaque to commemorate the

work of veterans in recent conflicts.

The Yorkton Legion (Branch 77) moved out of its 380 Broadway Street West address in November 2016. They uprooted themselves into

their new location on Riverview Road (after a nine-month stint on Fifth Avenue). The Legion took what they could with them during their move, but they had one massive object they couldn’t sim-

ply store in a supply closet: The rock cairn.

The cairn (weighing over 3000 pounds and measuring a foot thick) was established as a monument in front of the Legion when it was built

in 1961. It’s been a fixture in Yorkton for over 50 years. When the Legion ended its era on Broadway Street, it didn’t want to leave behind such a significant memento.

“With the sale of the [Legion] building, it was decided that we wanted to keep that rock cairn,” said Ken Gordon, executive member with

Sisters share brother’s life lessons

able mark on his community.

“Pete was a friend to all,” said Bobbi Buchanan, Search and Rescue Saskatchewan Association of Volunteers (SARSAV) President, in a press release. “[He] had a way of motivating people that brought out the best in them.”

Garvey passed away last year from brain cancer. His legacy is the impact he left in people’s lives. Two of those people are his sisters, Barb Porter and Linda Garvey. They honoured his memory with a book dedicated to advice and instructions pulled straight

from the sergeant’s life.

“We’ve captured our brother in 5000 words,” Linda said. “[He] was a good, good man.

Garvey worked with the RCMP in Saskatchewan for decades, serving in several communities, including Yorkton for a period of time.

Staff Sergeant Peter Garvey is the inspiration for “Life Lessons from a Red Serge.”

promote the book and tell people about their brother’s accomplishments.

“We committed ourselves to pass on his values,” Porter said. “We wanted to capture [them] in a book.”

The book tackles 13 different topics ranging from humility to courage to humour, all pulled from Garvey’s life.

Every chapter is filled with short sentences on how to live an upstanding life.

Readers are meant to reflect upon and consider each lesson.

“The book is a positive, uplifting encouragement for people to do their best to be good people,” Porter said.

Originally, Linda and Porter wrote the book only for Garvey’s grandchildren, but they realized it could be an excellent fundraising opportunity for SARSAV. SARSAV is an organizations of trained volunteers who assist in search and rescue operations. Garvey was deeply involved with SARSAV, helping the program grow and improve.

“Pete...was instrumental in SARSAV...developing capacity [for] the use of trained and certified civilian search dogs and handlers,” Buchanan said.

Linda and Porter realized how

Garvey had impacted SARSAV and they wanted to contiune his legacy. They contacted the group and told them they wanted to use the book as a fundraiser.

SARSAV agreed. All profits from the sale of “Red Serge” will be going to SARSAV. “We...felt it was a wonderful opportunity to...bring attention [to] Search and Rescue, [which] is hugely important to our province,” Porter said. “For the most part, [they’re] unrecognized for the work they do.”

“It really shines a light on Search and Rescue,” Linda said.

The sisters love all the lessons in the book. In particular, Porter likes its teachings on grace and doing kind acts without expecting anything in return.

“That is a positive message that the world needs to hear,” she said.

The sisters have enjoyed spreading their brother’s lessons. They hope it can make a difference in people’s lives.

“This world is full of confusion and chaos and conflict,” Porter said.

“Anything any of us can do to spread peace and positivity are really needed.”

“Life Lessons from a Red Serge” is currently available in Yorkton at Coles in the Parkland Mall.

CN police urge safety around tracks

By Sean Mott Staff Writer The CN police service is encouraging Saskatchewanians to exercise caution around train tracks.

“I want the public to understand you never want to race a train to the crossing,” said Constable Hank Neumiller. “Even if it’s a tie, you still lose.”

Neumiller, who’s served with the CN police service for years, pointed out how it takes trains a mile to fully stop. Even if train operators see something or someone on the

tracks, they might not have enough to completely stop before they make contact.

Since train tracks cross through the heart of Yorkton, Neumiller suggests cars in traffic stay 15 feet away from the tracks during red lights or congestion.

“If you can’t fit, don’t commit,” he said.

If your car does break down on a track, Neumiller recommended finding a yellow sticker behind the crosswalk sign (which is shaped like an “X”). The sticker contains contact information

for the railway owners along with the track’s location. “[The sticker’s] got the most important information you’ll ever need,” he said. “They can stop the trains in that area.”

Neumiller told people to use their common sense around train tracks so everyone can make it home safe.

“At the end of the day, we want everybody to be safe,” he said. “Look out for each other.”

Further information on railway safety can be found at www.cn.ca/en/ safety/cn-police-service/.

A Royal Canadian Legion monument has a new home on Darlington Street.

LEGION Continued from Page A1

the Yorkton Legion.

The Legion worked with the City of Yorkton to store the cairn in the town compound for over a year. After a discussion, the Legion and the City decided to plant the cairn on Darlington Street in front of the cenotaph.

Construction workers moved the cairn to its new home in the early morning hours of July 13.

While the cairn is in place, it’s not completely secure yet.

“There’s more stone-

work to be done,” Gordon said.

The Legion will be adding a granite plaque to the cairn. It will acknowledge soldiers who served in Afghanistan and other recent conflicts.

“We’re recognizing all kinds of people that have been involved in service [who] haven’t been recognized in the main cenotaph,” Gordon said.

The cairn wasn’t the only Legion object that found a new home. A time capsule was planted beneath the cairn in

1986. It’s to be opened in 2026 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Legion.

The Yorkton branch removed the capsule from its resting spot when they changed locations. It will be planted under the cairn again during a rededication ceremony in October of this year.

It’s been a busy year for the Yorkton Legion.

To celebrate their new home, they’ll be hosting an invitation-only official opening of their building on Riverview Road on Aug. 24.

Canyon Desjarlais, parks interpreter. at Good Spirit Provincial Park took a number of youth and their parents on a ‘Nature Detectives’ walk as part of Parks Week activities.

Exploring nature at Good Spirit

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer As part of Parks Weeks in Saskatchewan a Nature Detectives program was held Wednesday at Good Spirit Provincial Park.

The program was an introductory level walk around the park to get youngsters and their parents looking at the natural attributes of the park a little more closely, explained Canyon Desjarlais, parks interpreter.

“It explains the park a little more, the trails, the nature,” she said, adding a lot of visitors spend time on the beach and at their campers, but don’t get out and look around the park.

Desjarlais said there is much to see in the park, but told those going on the Nature Detective walk there are some things they should remember while out looking at nature.

For example it is important to keep the park as natural as possible, so dispose of waste properly.

And nature is something to be enjoyed by all so “leave what you find,” said Desjarlais.

If you see a pretty flower enjoy it where it is, take photographs if you want, but leave it for others to enjoy.

It’s also important to respect wildlife when you see it, and

there are some large and interesting animals that frequent the park.

“Yesterday, (Tuesday), I did see two moose walking around,” Desjarlais told the participants, adding with animals it is usually a case of “respect them and they’ll respect you too.”

On the actual walkabout Desjarlais pointed out various things in the park, such as the trembling aspen which is a tall tree allowing light to reach the ground, allowing undergrowth to flourish for the habitat of other animals, such as food for deer.

The Nature Detective program dovetailed with a province wide ‘BioBlitz’ being held across the province.

Sask Parks organized the province-wide virtual BioBlitz across all 15 parks around the province. The BioBlitz is an opportunity to engage with nature while using modern technology.

After downloading the free iNaturalist app, park guests could upload their photos to the Saskatchewan Parks project with the goal to discover and record as many species of plants, wildlife and bugs as possible in each provincial

In another location Desjarlais explained the park did a controlled burn in May to reduce deadfall.

“We hadn’t had one in more than 50-years,” she said. “…

It’s really good for the environment to have a controlled burn every five, or so years.”

The burn fosters regrowth, and Desjarlais suggested for every burned tree, 10 will start growing.

park, explained Desjarlais.

Through the app, an online community were able to participate in determining the name of the species and whether it is native to Saskatchewan or one that has never been recorded before in the province.

“It basically helps with a database of what’s found in the region,” she explained.

The park also has a geocaching program ongoing over the summer, which is fun as an activity, and also gets people out exploring the park more, said Desjarlais.

Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity, in which participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called “geocaches” or “caches”, at specific locations marked by coordinates.

Desjarlais said there are apps for a cellphone people can use, or a geocache specific unit can be borrowed at the entry station to the park.

Within the park there are a number of hidden caches, some larger, and some smaller, which require a bit more work to find. A number of people have found all six already, noted Desjarlais.

Politics It is not easy for others in this vast nation to fully understand the problems of its vast prairie region.

Generally, it’s seen as the place one needs to get through to go somewhere else nicer or supposedly more important — the old jokes about having to drive through the flat, bald prairie if you wanted to get anywhere.

There is some historical significance to this in that Canada only became the nation that it now is because the East wanted to keep British Columbia and west coast port out of the hands of the Americans. Even in 1885, it was a mad dash to lay as much Canadian Pacific track as quickly across the prairies as possible so that Canada could link B.C. In the true Canadian spirit and identity, this has been wrapped in the notion of co-operation and compromise that’s always been needed to make this vast land work.

It’s equally difficult holding together a massive country like this from sea to sea to sea when the only bond seems to be our long cold winters and love of a game played on ice that has emerged from it.

But let us be clear that this country was and still is driven by our symbiotic needs.

The east may need our grain and oil, but we need to get our product to port so we can sell it and have reason to exist.

Unfortunately, what’s also emerged from this relationship is historic sense of distrust.

Former premier Brad Wall touched on it recently in a tweet that reminded us the Saskatchewan/Alberta territory was supposed to be one giant province called Buffalo before the two provinces entered confederation in 1905. “(Prime Minister Wilfred) Laurier was concerned about the future power & influence of that prov preferring to split it,” Wall wrote in a recent tweet. “Sk & AB need to work together in the spirit of ‘Buffalo’ now to defend and advance our interests.”

It is the long-heard Western independence sabre-rattling put in polite and correct context.

The notion of a separate landlocked prairie nation is a child stamping his feet because he doesn’t get this way. But the idea of this region standing up for itself in the face of long-standing indifference is mature and often necessary.

Both the country and the west win when the west puts forward forceful, well-reasoned arguments.

Generally, that is what Wall did during his decade on the national stage as Saskatchewan premier.

That’s also what current Premier Scott Moe seems to be doing by again pressing at the recent annual Premiers’ gathering the issue of getting oil off the rail and moving it through pipelines.

Of course, there are many in the east (and now in the west in B.C.) all too eager to write Moe’s concern off as more of the anti-carbon tax/ environment agenda.

Wisely, Moe is fighting this with reality.

He noted the recent National Energy Board numbers showing that exporting crude oil by rail in Canada increased to 193,500 barrels per day in April from March.

That beats the old shipping record of 179,000 barrels per day in September 2014 and was 43,500 more barrels per day than a year earlier.

What Moe is telling other premiers at the Council of the Federation (COF) is that this demand for Western oil isn’t decreasing any time soon.

And the history of events like the disaster in Lac Magentic and general environmental risks make the current opposition to pipelines in both B.C. and Quebec illogical.

In other words, not only is this bad for the nation. It’s bad for their own local, self-interests.

It is important Western leaders continue to make their points and continue to be heard.

Really, it’s the only way a country like ours can work.

Senseless shooting needs proper response I

t is sometimes easy to think that living in Canada somehow insulates us from the terror of mass shootings.

Of course that is not the case, as was brought into focus for us all again as a gunman struck in the Greektown area of Toronto Sunday.

The shooting spree left two dead, one 18, the other only 10, and 13 injured ranging in age from 17 to 59s. Several of those suffering gunshot wounds remained in hospital Monday.

The gunman Faisal Hussain, a 29-year-old Toronto resident, is also dead although whether self-inflicted or killed by police remains unclear.

The shooter’s name is going to cause a ripple of concern, as it will conjure concerns of terrorist activity, although early reports suggest Hussain was a man with mental health issues rather than motivated by fanaticism.

It is important we wait for more details to come to light around how this tragedy happened, avoiding some knee jerk reaction leading to misguided retaliatory violence.

The reaction that may prove out to be warranted is a closer look at how we fund and support mental health care in this country.

Understanding mental health issues is clearly not easy, and how to best ensure proper care to help those suffering and to protect the public is something society clearly needs to focus upon.

We will also hear renewed calls for greater gun control, but again that may be the wrong place to focus efforts.

Canada is not the United States.

There are already rather stringent laws regarding what firearms are accessible. Handgun registration became law in 1934, and automatic firearms registration was added in 1951.

It was a handgun used in the Greektown attacks.

Certainly stringent controls are needed, or you can end up with the near ‘old west’ madness we see south of the border where mass shootings are nearly a daily occurrence, with more than 150 in 2018 reported by June.

But, in the end, one is not going to keep every person wanting to use a firearm for an illegal purpose from acquiring one, any more than we have been able to stop illegal drugs and other illicit undertakings.

So it comes back to doing what we can do to prevent shootings like the one Sunday, and that means better mental health care to help those facing their personal demons without seeking a firearm and taking their hurt out on others.

That process can start locally by letting both our provincial health board and the provincial government know we value proper mental health care highly.

Old Yorkton site — first flour mill’s stone foundations

Photo taken 1947.

Yorkton’s first grist mill was built by Yorkton’s founders, the York Farmers’ Colonization Company of Toronto in 1884 on the east bank of the Little White Sand River. (Name changed to “Yorkton Creek” in 2000.) The construction of the mill at that time did two things for the community: it provided work and wages, putting new money into circulation; and provided for a local source of flour, both of which were in short supply. It eliminated a 100 mile journey to Fort Ellice to buy flour, or to Whitewood, 70 miles away. The mill operated until the Manitoba and North Western Railway arrived in Saltcoats in 1888, from where you could ship your grain to mills or purchase refined flour in Manitoba. This stone foundation is the last remaining landmark indicating the original town site of Yorkton. On a visit to the site in year 2000, there was still evidence of the foundation. Regarding this 1947 photo, from left to right, the visitors to the site are: D. Arnett, Pauline Summers, F.O. Langstaff, D. Fergus, W.H. Wilkinson, H.M. Jackson, H.M. Bailey, Mayor Charles Peaker, George Parsons, Frank Collacott, Ruth Beck, next two are unknown, next Frank Meyer and J.E. Hockley. We do not have a date when the four-storey mill was torn down. It had to be a landmark seen from several miles away.

Certainly, Yorkton was unique because of its founding by a colonizing company with enough money — $300,000, to improve trails, establish a ferry on the Qu’Appelle River to improve the route to Yorkton, set up a mail stagecoach,

and Company administrators who kept negotiations going with the government and the railway company to push for the tracks to be built to Yorkton.

Although delayed for too many years, this was achieved with the arrival of the first train in 1891. (Photo taken by Cliff Shaw. — Howard Jackson Collection.)

Physician recruitment agency moving Saskatchewan is taking steps to ensure that access to physician services continues to be a high priority, particularly in rural and remote communities.

The Physician Recruitment Agency of Saskatchewan will transition to the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) on July 23. The agency focuses on recruitment and retention of physicians and health care professionals in Saskatchewan and uses the saskdocs and HealthCareersinSask websites as tools to connect them with current opportunities in the province.

This transition will build on saskdocs’ good work, helping align recruitment efforts with the SHA’s physician

resource planning and ensure that physicians are practising in communities where they are most needed.

To facilitate continuity and ongoing connections with key partners, a number of current board members will have the opportunity to continue serving in an advisory capacity following the transfer - a further example of the province’s commitment to recruitment and retention efforts.

“People in rural, northern, and urban communities throughout the province continue to have better access to physician care,” Rural and Remote Health Minister Greg Ottenbreit said. “The efforts of saskdocs, along with other recruitment and reten-

The Grayson Housing Authority is a community-based organization that provides daily management of 10 housing units constructed and operated under the terms of a federal provincial municipal cost sharing agreement.

Social Services Minister, Paul Merriman, paid tribute to the volunteers who manage the social housing projects in their community. “This local hands-on approach ensures that the

Saskatchewan Housing Corporation responds effectively to the needs of each community.”

Saskatchewan has a network of 260 housing authorities and more than 1,400 volunteer members who assist with management of housing units throughout the province for seniors, low income families and persons with disabilities.

Persons interested in volunteering to serve on the board of directors for the Grayson Housing Authority are encouraged to contact the mayor of Grayson. A local nominating committee recommends board members.

Applications for accommodation are available from the manager of the Grayson Housing Authority.

Researcher discussing Gladue across province

By Sean Mott Staff Writer Michelle Brass brought her province-wide discussion on the Aboriginal community’s history with the Canadian legal system to Yorkton last Thursday, hoping to raise awareness on the subject.

“I’m opening up the discussion to people [so we can] get at the overriding issue, which is... the overincareration of Aboriginal offenders,” she said.

Brass works at the University of Saskatchewan’s Native Law Centre. She serves as the Gladue Project Research Officer. She focused on the Gladue case and its impact on Canadian law during her Yorkton seminar on Jul. 19.

“It’s an open discussion,” she said.

In 1995, Jamie Tanis Gladue (a Cree woman) pled guilty to second-degree murder. The sentencing judge did not think Gladue’s Aboriginal back-

ground was relevant to his decision since she lived off a reserve. Gladue’s lawyer appealed her sentence of three years, arguing that the judge did not properly apply section 718.2 (e) of the Criminal Code, which says all alternatives to imprisonment must be considered, particularly for Aboriginal offenders. In 1999, the Supreme Court of Canada sided with Gladue’s lawyer.

The Gladue case provided the blueprint for the sentencing of Aboriginal offenders, encouraging judges to look at how an Aboriginal’s life experiences might have impacted them. Judges must balance justice with an appropriate sentence.

Brass said people hold misconceptions about the Gladue case. She argues that it is not a “get-out-of-jail-free card.” “[It] provides a sentencing judge with a broader context of an Aboriginal person’s background and...the systematic barriers or situations that per-

“I’m opening up the discussion to people [so we can] get at the overriding issue, which is...the overincareration of Aboriginal offenders.”

— Michelle Brass son was dealing with,” she said. “It’s not...going to fix [anything] unless an offender... takes their issue seriously.”

Brass led a small group in a

conversation about the Gladue case and Aboriginals in the legal system during her Yorkton visit. Participants discussed personal responsibility,

community involvement, reforms, and accountability.

Brass is traveling across Saskatchewan hosting similar seminars. She’ll be holding discussions until November. Once she’s wrapped up the tour, she’ll prepare a report on her findings by January 2019.

“My focus with this project is only on Saskatchewan, but... this issue is nation-wide,” she said.

Brass hopes her seminars and others like it can broaden the public discourse on Aboriginal incareration and potentially lead to reforms.

“There [are] still gaps out there,” she said. “[They] need to be addressed.”

Individualized funding available The Government of Saskatchewan is fulfilling its commitment to provide individualized funding for children under the age of six who have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The application form and eligible services list have been posted at www.saskatchewan.ca/autism.

“Our government remains committed to improving services for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their parents, caregivers and families,” Health Minister Jim Reiter said.

“Individualized funding will provide more choice and flexibility for families, and improve access to supports.”

In 2018-19, $2.8 million has been allocated to provide $4,000 per child with ASD under the age of six. The program will provide parents with funding for therapeutic interventions and family supports that best suit their child’s individual needs. It is estimated that approximately 700 children will be eligible for funding this year.

“Our government is working to make

Saskatchewan a more inclusive province that is welcoming, responsive, innovative and accessible so people with disabilities can live the life of their choice,” Social Services Minister Paul Merriman said.

“Individualized funding makes it easier for parents of young children with autism to have access to services that make the most sense for their needs.”

ASD Individualized Funding is a joint Ministry of Health and Ministry of Social Services program.

The Ministry of Social

Albert reappointed to Calder Housing Authority Barbara Albert has been reappointed to the Calder Housing Authority Board of Directors. Other members of the board of directors are Marie Dawe, Hazel Minchuk, Arthur Martinuk and Wesley Fyck. Fyck is chairperson.

The Calder Housing Authority is a community-based organization that provides daily management of 8 housing units constructed and operated under the terms of a federal provincial municipal cost sharing agreement.

Social Services Minister, Paul Merriman, paid tribute to the volunteers who manage the social housing projects in their community. “This local hands-on approach ensures that the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation responds effectively to the needs of each community.”

Saskatchewan has a network of 260 housing authorities and more than 1,400 volunteer members who assist with management of hous-

ing units throughout the province for seniors, low income families and persons with disabilities.

Persons interested in volunteering to serve on the board of directors for the Calder Housing Authority are encouraged to contact the mayor of Calder. A local nominating committee recommends board members.

Applications for accommodation are available from the manager of the Calder Housing Authority.

Services is administering the program, and is now accepting applications. Families who have applied and meet the program criteria will begin receiving funding in August 2018. ASD Individualized Funding is in addition to autism services that will continue to be provided in the public system.

The Ministry of Health is building a registry of autism service providers to assist parents in locating service providers. The registry will be posted on www.saskatchewan.ca/autism in August 2018, and will include: Behavioural consultants (who may provide applied behaviour analysis); Physical therapists; Occupational therapists; Psychologists; Social workers; Speech pathologists.

Private service pro-

viders are encouraged to sign up for the registry, and can contact autismregistry@health.gov.sk.ca for more information on how to do so.

Funding can also be used for respite services, therapeutic equipment, training/coaching for parents/caregivers and more. For more information, consult the eligible services list available at www.saskatchewan.ca/ autism.

Development of the Autism Individualized Funding program has been informed by the Autism Stakeholder Working Group. The group included parents of children with ASD and individuals who provide services for families impacted by ASD. The Government of Saskatchewan would like to thank them for their work and dedication to the creation of this program.

Anniversary BBQ

The Autism Individualized Funding program supports the 10-year Saskatchewan Disability Strategy and its vision of making Saskatchewan a more welcoming, inclusive, and accessible province for people who experience disabilities. The program also supports Saskatchewan’s Early Years Plan and its goal of finding better ways to support children experiencing disabilities.

In addition to the $2.8 million allocated to ASD Individualized Funding in 2018-19, the Ministry of Health will continue to provide $8.55 million annually to support a continuum of autism services, including autism consultants, support workers and rehabilitation therapists.

Additional information on the program can be found at www.saskatchewan.ca/autism.

Rocky Mountain hop, part three

Australians have overrun Banff.

Our friends from down under have secured nearly every job at the popular tourist trap.

That’s the impression I got during my 12-hour visit. I’m pretty sure that’s more than enough time to get an accurate sample size. Statistics Canada would be proud.

Before I scrapped my way up Sulphur Mountain (as recounted in last week’s column), I decided to kayak through Bow River. I pulled up to the canoe rental shack and heard an endless barrage of Australian accents from the employees.

Everyone, from the cashiers to the instructors, seemed to hail from

the land of Paul Hogan.

They’d taken over the kayak rental business in Banff (which, of course, is one step away from world domination).

Now, I’ve got nothing against our Aussie friends. It just felt odd to see so many people working in a park tens of thousands of kilometers from their home country.

As I said, I have nothing against our southern hemisphere friends, with one exception. When I reached the top of Sulphur Mountain, exhausted, yet triumphant, I rushed to the conveniently placed canteen. I demanded three bottles of water posthaste. The Australian cashier took one look at

SEAN MOTT

Settling in... me and said, “Whoa, you’re sucking back wind, aren’t you?”

As anyone who’s sweated themselves stupid before knows, the last thing you want to hear after a brutal climb is mockery, no matter how pleasant the accent. I barely had enough energy to glare at the cashier, so I grabbed my water

and sat at the lookout point, vowing revenge on Australia for the rudeness of one of their citizens. Once I cooled down, I retracted my pledge against the continent.

I peered down the mountain, gazing at the path I’d just climbed. I knew one thing: There was no way I was walking down. I would be travel-

ing in style. I would ride the gondola.

The Sulphur Mountain gondola is an orb big enough for four people.

It’s attached to a wire that runs it up and down the mountain in (roughly) 10 minutes. It cruises over trees and rocks, swaying and jolting in the breeze.

As someone with a slight aversion to heights, the gondola isn’t my preferred mode of travel.

But after a two hour hike, I would have rode on an eagle if it would have brought me back to my car. I bought the ticket, hopped into the orb, and began my descent.

When you’re stuck amid the trees during a hike, you can’t fully

appreciate the beauty of Banff. The gondola provides the complete picutre. Mountains, forests, and rivers stretched into infinity. It was like I was flying over a Bob Ross painting. It made the two hours of leg agony worth it.

I disembarked from the gondola, hopped in my car, and headed back to the motel, leaving Banff and its countless Australian employees.

I’m not sure when, if ever, I’ll return. It’s a trip I can’t recommend enough.

The Rockies are the crown jewel of Canada.

But take my advice: Take the gondola up Sulphur Mountain. The walk down is a lot easier than the walk up.

RBC Royal Bank donates to sponsor Rhythm ‘n Ribs Trevor McLachlan, Community Market Manager for the Parkland Region of RBC Royal Bank presented Ross Fisher, the Executive Director of The Health Foundation, with a donation of $3,000 from RBC. “We are very happy to sponsor the Family Day at Rhythm ‘n Ribs. This is a wonderful weekend of affordable entertainment for the whole family as Family Day provides some activities specifically for young people,” said McLachlan.

We are proud to support the work of The Health Foundation because at RBC, we’re passionate about helping our communities thrive and prosper. We know that this is not possible without organizations like The Health Foundation who are dedicated to helping our family, friends and neighbours

live healthy, vibrant lives,” continued McLachlan.

“The proceeds of Rhythm ‘n Ribs will be used to purchase medical equipment that will be of benefit to everyone who lives in the Yorkton area; and anytime you can combine good community building family events with a fundraising activity that will benefit the whole region, well that’s a good thing and something we are pleased to support,” he continued.

“We appreciate this donation and the ongoing support we receive from RBC, and from the staff of RBC, for the work we do to improve our local healthcare,” said Fisher. “As a community organization, it is wonderful to know that businesses like RBC will be there to assist us when we are raising funds to improve the healthcare available to people in this region,” said Ross Fisher.

New program aims to build healthy relationships

By Sean Mott Staff Writer Yorkton’s Shelwin House will be starting a new program at Churchbridge Public School this fall, teaching kids how to foster healthy relationships.

Shelwin House, which provides education and programs on bullying, family violence, and relationship conflict, received a $5,000 grant from South Saskatchewan Community Foundation’s Smart and Caring Fund. “[The money] will allow us to present something bigger [than usual],”

said Nicole Prince, who runs the outreach program with Shelwin House.

Shelwin House will present a four-to-six week program for Churchbridge School’s grade four-to-six students. The program will educate students on the importance of building healthy relationships with the people in their lives.

“We’re calling it ‘Dare to Care,’” Prince said.

Shelwin House has worked with Churchbridge School before, which made them

a natural fit for the new program.

“Churchbridge School has always been a big supporter,” Prince said.

“The staff is willing to work with us.”

Prince thinks kids need to understand the building blocks of healthy relationships as early in their lives as possible.

“Kids need to learn how to manage conflicts,” she said. “They want to learn.”

A presentation of the grant for the program will be held at Churchbridge School on Aug. 1 at 10:30 a.m.

…For Seniors and about Seniors

Sports a passion, education a career

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Over the years few have been more supportive of the ‘Land of Orange’ than Barry Sharpe who worked tirelessly for years as counsellor at Yorkton Regional High School.

It was however a winding road to the Land of Orange.

Born in 1942, Sharpe said while very young at the time of the Second World War, it still left him with indelible memories.

As a kid he said he remembers the Harvard airplanes flying over Yorkton from the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan centre at what it now the Yorkton Municipal Airport.

“They would scare the hell out of me,” said Sharpe.

It was a situation

which may have been inpart because he lost an uncle in the war, an uncle who was a pilot.

And there was, for example, the end of the conflict.

“The troops coming home on the trains … all the soldiers hanging out the windows waving,” recounts Sharpe over coffee.

And after the war it continued to play a part in his formative years.

“Shortly after the war they had a big air show in Yorkton. It was a hot, hot day,” he recalled.

They had brought in a Lancaster, or similar bomber, something they did not see from the training centre.

“It sank right into the tarmac. They had a heckuva time to get it out,” he said. “It was quite a thing.”

He said while very

young the impact of the war on everyone seemed to be something that simply ingrained the memories in him.

But the war did come to its end, and as the world settled back into a semblance of normalcy, so too did the life of a young boy growing up in Yorkton.

In a time before computer games and television, Sharpe like most youth in those times hit the playgrounds for fun and entertainment.

“I played lots of sports,” he said.

That meant learning baseball, and hockey, two sports Sharpe would emerge to excel in.

It seemed like a very normal upbringing in a time after the war, but there were bumps.

“When I was 13 my mother died,” he said, and two years later his father passed too.

Sharpe would move to Wynyard to live with an older sister and finish his high school, where he continued to show he could play football.

After winning a provincial title with the Yorkton Collegiate in 1957, as a Grade 11 student with Wynyard they lost to Prince Albert in the provincial finals. A year later they took the final, this time over North Battleford.

The football championships would be two of many Sharpe would garner playing at a top level in the sports as a young man.

Sharpe said while he was in the University of Saskatchewan Huskies

football team, two losses 72-6 to BC and 54-0 to Calgary made him rethink continuing on the gridiron.

But then there were the Saskatoon Quakers, the team that would become the Blades one day. Doug Bentley, a former National Hockey League player and Hockey Hall of Fame member was the coach.

“They had a rural camp,” said Sharpe.

“Seventy-eight kids showed up, and only two made the Quakers.” He was one of them playing with the team for the 1960-61 season.

Sharpe would be something of a hockey gypsy for a time.

After a year with the Quakers he played with the Weyburn Red Wings for a season.

The next season “I got a phone call from Dauphin. I’d never been to Dauphin in my life,”

he said.

But he packed his skates and headed to Manitoba where the team would be intermediate provincial finalists for the 1962-63 season.

At the time his pro rights were held by the Detroit Red Wings, and he was invited to a camp to play with their affiliate in Edmonton. In spite of local success, he didn’t go.

“I didn’t think I had a career in hockey,” he said.

While sports would continue to be a huge part of Sharpe’s life, he was also beginning to think about some sort of career, and eventually he settled on being a teacher.

Sharpe’s early teaching career would see him finally drawn back to Yorkton, where he began teaching at St. Joseph’s.

And he was back on the ice with the Yorkton

Terriers, a paying opportunity at the time.

“That didn’t last very long. The team ran out of money,” he said.

While at St. Joseph’s he continued his own teaching education, eventually heading back to the U of S to finish his degree.

Of course there was more hockey as a U of S Husky too.

“I played at the first ever Canadian Winter Games (with the Huskies),” said Sharpe.

Through it all Sharpe was also on numerous baseball teams from Rosetown to Yorkton.

Where ever he went sports was part of his life.

After completing his degree he was offered a teaching job back in Yorkton. Looking back he said something always popped up when he needed it in terms of teaching.

PASSION Continued from Page A11 “I never applied for a teaching job in my life,” he said with a smile.

When back in Yorkton this time Barry would meet his future wife. At the time he was singing in a duo with Brother Paul from St. Joseph’s, an act they called Brother Paul and Barry, as a sort of ode to well know group Peter, Paul and Mary.

At a show he saw Dale Cosgrave, then attending nursing classes in the city.

“She looked pretty good to me,” he said, again with a grin.

Dale was a farm girl from Whitewood, and in time that would lead Barry to have cattle and horses, but that would only happen after finally settling at Yorkton Regional High School starting in 1967.

Sharpe started as a science teacher, and of course helping out with sports, including running an intermural hockey program for 20 years.

“We used to pack the rink,” he said.

When the league faded the teacher-student benefit game would emerge, another of Sharpe’s effort.

In part because of the success of the hockey Sharpe was asked to go into the guidance office more as a school event organizer than a counsellor.

“I said I’d try it for a year, I guess,” he said.

The new role quickly grew, and his time in front of a class disappeared. It

487197_R0011580898_YTW_B_J2_V1

A young Barry Sharpe and his father Stephen. was a unique role.

“There was only one other school that had a position like it; Kitchener-Waterloo,” he said.

It was a position where Sharpe would achieve much success, perhaps most notably hosting the first Canadian National Student Leadership Conference.

The year was 1985, the year proclaimed by the United Nations as the International Youth Year.

Sharpe said he took 20 students to a provincial event a year earlier where then Premier Grant Devine spoke suggesting the 1985 gathering be a national affair.

The provincial and federal governments put up a combined $72,000, and Sharpe and YRHS took on the challenge of hosting the event.

A thousand students from across Canada and states such as Kentucky took place. The involvement of the contingent from Kentucky would lead to Sharpe being given the title of Colonel by the state’s governor.

Not one to rest on a success Sharpe and the school took on the 10th anniversary of the Conference as well. The second event would include the first Canadian National High School Rodeo Finals.

9.875”x 1”

23 June 2018

Before the event in Yorkton high school rodeo participants headed to Gillette, Wyoming for the US finals, said Sharpe.

Looking back Sharpe said the two conferences were certainly a highlight of his unique position at the school.

“I saw Canada differently than I’d seen it before,” he said of the opportunity to bring all the youth together.

As for the rodeo, it was just another sport event for Sharpe to rally too, part of a life of sport which earned him induction into the Yorkton Sports Hall of Fame in 1999.

But there were other moments at the school he remembers fondly such as the school being twotime Canadian National Champions of MOGA (Most Outrageous Group Activity) Madness, setting a Guinness record for 250 participants skipping on a single skipping rope, and the reestablishment of a football program which was cancelled in 1972.

In 1994, Shape would retire.

As for the unique position; now called Student Activity Advisor, it is in hands he trusts, those of his son Robbie.

And, retirement has not been so bad with cattle and horses, grandchildren and volunteer work

to fill the time, although he admitted leaving the school was not initially easy.

“The hardest part was handing the master key over,” he said. But he knew it was time following some advice; “always quit while you’re still having a good time.”

Bond between grandparents and grandkids 487200_R0011580897_YTW_B_J2_V1

What used to be the “golden years” of life for seniors is now turning into any opportunity to spend even more time with their youngest family members.

Nowadays, a growing number of grandparents are called on to provide child care for their grandkids, many of whom are growing up in two-income households. Others are helping to raise grandkids while providing financial assistance for adult children who may not be able to live on their own.

Grandparents often cite helping their own children financially as well as staying in touch with grandchildren as motivating factors behind providing care. According to Generations United, staying in touch with grandkids can give seniors a feeling of self-worth

and improve their overall health.

When spending so much time together, grandparents may develop special relationships with their grandchildren, who may benefit from the knowledge and wisdom offered by their elders. The following are some lessons grandparents can share with youngsters.

• Empathy: By sharing stories of how things were when they were younger, when opportunities may have been more scarce, grandparents can help teach grandchildren empathy. Grandchildren may learn to be grateful for the things they have and the people around them, rather than taking what they have for granted.

• Family history:

Grandparents can tell grandchildren about family members, including youngsters’ own par-

ents, and shed light on the generations that came before them. Looking through photos or watch-

Staying flexible as you age Men and women may begin to feel less flexible as they get older. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, that loss of flexibility is because muscles lose both strength and elasticity as the body ages.

A lack of flexibility can make men and women more vulnerable to certain types of injuries, including muscle strains and tears. While people might not be able to maintain the flexibility they enjoyed in their twenties, there are ways for them to combat agerelated loss of flexibility.

• Stretch frequently.

Stretching is a great way to combat age-related loss of flexibility. Stretch major muscle groups, such as hamstrings and shoulder muscles, several times per week. When practicing static stretching, the goal is to gradually elongate the muscle being stretched before holding the elongated position, and ultimately

allowing the muscle to return to resting position.

As flexibility improves, elongated stretches can be held for 30 seconds.

Avoid stretching muscles that are sore or injured, and discontinue a stretch if you feel pain or discomfort.

• Include yoga in your exercise regimen. Practitioners of yoga typically love how this unique discipline that exercises the body while relaxing the mind

improves their flexibility. Many yoga poses are designed to improve the strength and flexibility of muscles, and some physicians may even recommend yoga to aging patients. Yoga DVDs or streaming sessions can be great, but beginners may want to visit yoga studios or sign up for classes at their gyms so instructors can personally ensure they are doing each pose correctly. As their flexibility improves, men and

women can try more difficult poses and classes if they so desire.

• Get in the pool.

Swimming is another activity that can help aging men and women improve their flexibility.

Strength-training exercises are an important component of a well-balanced exercise regimen, but such workouts tend to focus on one or two muscle groups at a time.

That means other muscle groups may be inactive and tighten up as a result. Swimming works the entire body, which helps all muscle groups stay loose and flexible.

One or two swimming sessions per week can contribute to great gains in overall flexibility, especially for men and women who remember to stretch when they get out of the pool.

Flexibility may decrease as men and women age, but there are various ways to combat the natural loss of flexibility.

ing old movies can provide the avenue by which to start conversations about family history and

give children opportunities to ask questions.

• Interests: Children may be excited about learning new skills or hobbies taught to them by their grandparents.

Anything from gardening to woodworking can be shared.

• Respect: Children who grow up respecting their grandparents may have an increased tendency to respect authority figures outside their homes, which may help kids grow up to be more courteous and kind.

Grandchildren also offer benefits to their grandparents.

Companionship, new experiences and conversation can help keep grandparents’ minds sharp and bodies active well into their golden years.

Planning show a real challenge You are cordially invited to attend the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society’s Annual Fruit, Flower, and Vegetable Show on Wednesday, August 8, from 1:00 till 5:00 p.m. at St. Gerard’s Parish Complex. This show brings you the best of the gardening year: fruit and vegetable displays, cut flowers, plant displays and flower arrangements. Your $3.00 admission price includes tea or coffee and dainties.

It’s a lovely way to spend an afternoon, so bring a friend and join us!

Planning an event like our show is a complicated task that begins almost a year ahead of time. First of all we have to pick a date, and truly, it is a roll of the gardening dice to try and pick the best date. If we have the show too early, plants may not be quite ready; a week or two later and they may be past their “best” time. Gardeners are always at the mercy of the weather: we could have blistering heat which matures the plants too rapidly, or chilly temperatures that hinders their growth, or relentless rain that leaves the poor things soggy and drooping.

So, based on what happened “this year”, we look at the calendar and select a date for “next year” and hope for the best!

The show is meant to inspire and educate gardeners. It is a place where gardeners can come and see all kinds of fruit, vegetables, and flowers, and learn their variety names in case we want to try them in our own gardens. Because gardeners are putting on the show, there is always someone around to chat with if we have questions about certain plants.

Besides practical information, there is also the aspect of the beauty of plants. Guests will see this especially in the houseplant or outdoor planter categories, as well as stunning plant displays that will surely inspire gardeners on interesting and unique

DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

Gardener’s Notebook ways to display plants to their best advantage.

The creativity of plants is presented in flower arranging displays. If you are imagining the formal triangular flower arrangements in classic urn vases of past decades, you will be surprised and delighted at the many innovative designs of flower arranging. We hope this will prompt you to be creative at home with whatever plants you have available.

Every gardener who takes part in the show has been working far in advance of the show itself to get their entries groomed and ready. It is a time-consuming effort and a labor of love. All participating gardeners have the goal of wanting to share their passion for gardening with the guests that come to the show.

The work of the entire summer leads up to this day: it’s a big day for the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society.

We work hard to make it a success, and that is why we are so happy when you join us for the afternoon!

Please mark the date on your calendar and join us: Wednesday,

August 8 from 1:00 till 5:00 p.m. at St. Gerard’s Parish Complex. We look forward to seeing you!

And here’s exciting news: A bouquet of thanks to Mayor Bob Maloney and City Council who have proclaimed Wednesday, August 8 as “Garden Day” in Yorkton!

This is a day to enjoy your outdoor space: have a cup of coffee on your deck, tour your garden, or take a walk through your neighborhood and enjoy the many, many beautiful garden vistas that are part of Yorkton!

And of course, be sure to attend the horticultural show!

My two hoots for this week My neck hurts from looking up. I have been owl-gazing and owls rarely perch on bottom branches.

When you read this, the family of long-eared owls that has enlivened our backyard and thoroughly captivated me will no doubt have moved on. My head will sit properly between my shoulders again, facing forward. For now I accept this pain as a small price for a rare privilege – there are only fifty thousand members of this

species in the world.

For several years the owls have nested in an old crow or magpie stick nest high in a line of spruce trees. This year they’ve hatched five adorable owlets. Last evening at dusk I held my breath in delight during their daily flying lesson. Swooping back and forth on rigid wings, soon to reach their full span of almost a metre, they wove in and out of each others’ flight paths, using the low-hanging tree branches as an obstacle

course.

We notice the owls most often in the early evening. Perched high above us, their riveting orange-ish eyes stare

down as we eat on the patio, mow lawn or pick raspberries.

They’ve grown accustomed to the sight and sound of us, to my upturned face and the regular click of my big camera. Sometimes they shut their eyes to snatch extra rest before rousing and departing for their evening hunt in larger fields than ours.

We’ve grown accustomed (but never bored) by them too. We’ve learned to recognize, even mimic, the calls of both the adults and the owlets; the proverbial two hoots from the adults, the rusty hinge call of the chicks,

and a high-pitched vibrato I’ve yet to master.

I stood at the bottom of the owl tree (pick of the evening – they vary) last night, giving my two hoots. Five pairs of wide round eyes stared down at me, curious but wary.

Neither parent seemed near. But when I finished my call, a mature owl responded from a few trees over. Instantly, the youngsters came to attention, heads swiveling up to 180 degrees, eyes scanning both sky and trees.

My owl call sounds good to me. But my two hoots meant nothing to those chicks. Since hatching, they’ve developed an intimate familiarity with the voice of their parents. Those calls have the

A15

added value of authenticity and truth.

If I could interpret owl-ese into English, I’d have heard what those owlets heard. “Pay no attention, kids, no matter how much like me that voice sounds. Even when I seem absent, I’m closer than you know. You can’t see me, but I’m still here.

Trust.”

Followers of Christ can know and recognize the voice of our Heavenly parent with equal intuitiveness. As we acknowledge our absolute inability to thrive without him, as we relate to him in prayer and immerse ourselves in the truth of the Bible, we grow in wisdom and discernment.

Just like those little owls.

SICK CALLS ANYTIME—BAPTISM AND MARRIAGE BY APPOINTMENT

Wednesday, July 25, 2018 | www.YorktonThisWeek.com | Yorkton This Week

Enough with the individual apps already

If you do any browsing using a mobile device, you will notice that everyone would really prefer you use their app rather than their mobile website. They position this as the quick, easy, and convenient way to get to whatever they’re doing. I have had enough of it and I would like to declare to everyone doing this that your website is fine.

The worst offender in this case is the ubiquitous Facebook, which has split their service into two separate apps – Facebook and Messenger.

I recently deleted the Facebook app because it crashed every ten min-

utes, whether I was using it or not, so I decided to just get rid of it.

The Messenger app, at least, makes a little bit more sense, as it can function as instant messaging as well. Except it hasn’t been particularly well programmed either.

For example, earlier today someone sent me someone else’s Facebook profile through messenger, so I could contact them. Except when I tried to send them a message by clicking a link in their profile, it got very confused and directed me to download the application I was already using. This feels like a flaw.

DEVIN WILGER

Thinking I do with words...

There are naturally places that can justify having a separate app.

Take, for example, banking. They can build in added security so you can do more involved banking on a mobile device. If you can do something which isn’t possible to do on the website itself,

that’s good.

For the most part, I have a suspicion of why these places are trying to push people towards their app, and it’s not a better user experience or letting people do more things. No, it’s to get more user attention. Just working on a website doesn’t

let them pester you with notifications, and that’s the real reason behind the app.

Let’s go back to Facebook. Before it spent most of its time crashing, it didn’t do much that the website didn’t. Uploading pictures was smoother, but only because their website was deliberately bad at this. No, the big difference between it and the main website was that the app had a lot more notifications, which is nice for Facebook, since they can draw your eyes more easily. It’s bad for the user, because these notifications are wasting your time. People

typically check their phones under the assumption that something important might be happening when it tries to get your attention. It’s frustrating when, instead of something important, it’s just some app trying to get you to look at it.

It has led to a mobile landscape that is inefficient and irritating, along with app stores that are filled with unnecessary garbage.

We don’t need all of these apps, we don’t need all of these notifications, and it’s time we stop caving in and installing all of it.

Parkland Expos win AA Bantam Tier 2

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Coach Mike McCubbing describes it as one of the best teams he has had the pleasure of coaching, and they are bringing home the provincial championship. The AA Bantam Parkland Expos have wrapped a successful season by winning the Tier 2 category in Macklin.

In round robin play, it was the host team, the Macklin Lakers, that got closest to handing the Expos a rare loss.

The game was 2-2 going into the 7th, leading the game into extra innings, where the Expos’ bats found the ball, and they finally won 6-2.

It was the semi-final, against the Swift Current 57’s, which was the biggest threat to the team’s provincial

championship goal. The contest was a close one from the beginning, with the Expos getting a run in the first and both teams getting a run in the third.

“There were time where the bats were a little dry, but they played good defense and had good pitching. Instead of being able to pour it on, we were able to get a hit when we really needed it and capitalize on a run. That Swift Current game, it was 2-1 for the whole game... Even though the bats were dry, they persevered and played good defense to hold it,” said McCubbing.

The final game against the Muenster Red Sox was not nearly as close, with the Expos dominating the contest 16-5 to take the championship overall.

This marks the end of an exceptional season for the Expos. They won all but

two games over the season, only losing one regular season contest and a final in a tournament where they met AAA teams.

“Skill-wise, the team was really strong, and more than that, it was the best group of kids. Mentally, not having issues, being disciplined, showing up for practices, doing exactly what they had to do... It’s the best team I’ve ever been a part of, I would coach those guys, hands down, any day of the week.”

One of the strengths of the team, McCubbing said, was that it was a good group of players. Top to bottom, there was nobody on the team who was just filling the roster and that showed in their results.

“A lot of teams have their top five guys who are really strong and the rest

are roster-fills. This team here, when the top didn’t do it, the bottom carried them... It was a group effort the entire season, that’s something that’s very uncommon. That’s why our record shows the way it does. It didn’t matter who it was at bat, where they were in the lineup, it was just a number, if it was their turn at back they produced.”

Next year, nine members of the team will graduate into the Midget age category. McCubbing is optimistic about their future in baseball.

“Midget is another game, it’s another level up, the skill level is tougher and the field is bigger. It’s a big jump for some kids, I guess we’ll see what happens next year... It’s a bit of an adjustment, but I don’t think any of them will have a problem adjusting to it.”

Johnson wins Sask Men’s Amateur

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer It’s not the way you start, but how you finish. That was especially true for Kade Johnson in the Saskatchewan Men’s Amateur Championship.

The Yorkton golfer overcame a weak first round to take the championship.

On the first day, Johnson shot a 75. Johnson explains that while he was playing well, he wasn’t able to make putts like he would have liked.

“I just started making a few more putts, got some confidence in the putter, and I played well on the last two days.”

By playing well, Johnson means putting up a 66 on the remaining two days. While he was behind for most of the

tournament, Johnson eventually went on to shoot a total of 207, coming in two ahead of the next closest golfer, Michael Herperger of Humboldt. In third was David Stewart, who led for the first two days of the tournament but ended with a final score of 210.

In a tournament filled with ups and downs, Johnson kept a level head through it all, something he credits with helping him with his eventual win.

“I knew I was playing well, I knew I could do it... On the first day, I never got too low on myself, or too mad. On the last day, I never got too high or too excited. Keep steady emotions and a steady mind.”

Johnson is proud to have won the tournament and he’s

elated to have his name on the same trophy as some of the province’s best golfers.

“It’s a tournament with a lot of great names on the trophies, hall of famers... It’s something I’ve been working towards for two years now, and winning it feels pretty good.”

Next up for Johnson is the Canadian Amateur Men’s Championship in Duncan, British Columbia from Aug. 6-9. Right now, he’s preparing for the tournament by studying the course. After the final two days of the Saskatchewan Men’s Amateur tournament, Johnson is confident in his game.

“I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing, play a lot and keep my game sharp.”

One step closer to MLR in Canada This week some very exciting news has come out, at least if you are a fan of 15s rugby, which I certainly am.

In the past I have written about the inaugural season of Major League Rugby, with Seattle winning the championship with several Canadians playing important roles including player/coach Phil Mack.

This is a league I’ve long wanted, but with a Canadian team to follow.

This season the Ontario Arrows played some exhibition games against MLR franchises as a sort of feeling out process to see if the team could be competitive and make the numbers work.

Well the team issued a release this week indicating the Arrows Rugby Club have secured the

exclusive negotiating rights for an Ontariobased Major League Rugby team and intend to enter and compete in MLR in 2019, subject to agreement on key terms and conditions of entry.

“The Arrows investor group, players and staff are all thrilled with the positive response and support that we have received from Canadian rugby fans and newcomers to the game, our commercial sponsors, our venue operators (York University) and from our national and provincial sports organizations, Rugby Canada and Rugby Ontario. The Arrows are now an established competitive rugby team and we are champing at the bit to ramp up our commercial operations, including the sale of sea-

Opinion son tickets and further engagement with corporate sponsors. In fact, fans and corporate sponsors have even been approaching us prior to our formal MLR entry, which is very encouraging,” said Arrows co-founder and investor, Bill Webb in the release.

“Ontario would be a great expansion market for MLR, anchored by a robust rugby community,” added Nic Benson, MLR Deputy Commissioner.

“The Arrows have already put together a competitive team for this past year’s exhibition season.”

While there are still a few details to be hammered out, the Arrows look close to official entry, which is great for Canadian rugby fans, and for the MLR as it would take the league to a North American one, not just American.

The MLR is certainly going to grow, seven teams in year one, just

not being enough to be considered a legitimate major league in a country as large as the U.S. I would expect 16 teams as sort of a minimum for the league, a goal being chased by the National Lacrosse League and Major League Lacrosse as well.

But in hitting 16 teams there will be some concern over the availability of quality players, and the Arrows would be something of an outlier to those concerns as most players are likely to be Canadian.

So I certainly hope the Arrows get the final ducks in a row, and looking a bit farther ahead, Vancouver remains rumoured for 2020 which would be equally positive for 15s rugby here.

Saturday of course was

time to watch the world field lacrosse championship.

The game was highly entertaining, although a missed call late in favour of the United States, and a glitch clock showing a difference between the official and on field clock, which both seemed to give the Americans an edge in knotting the score 8-8 and winning as time ran out, ending Canadian hopes of repeating the championship they won in 2014.

Still the event was outstanding with 46 countries taking part in the Israel-hosted event. In four years the championship will be in Coquitlam, and lacrosse fans may want to head west for the event to see the best in our national summer sport.

Cards take two of three from rival Mills

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer With only six days left in the 2018 season for the Yorkton Cardinals sit last in the Western Mayor Baseball League East Division with a 10-30 record, 21-games back of front-running Weyburn.

Cardinal coach John Farrington said it has not been the season the team had hoped for only a few short weeks ago.

But the team started the season short-staffed, and with only 14 players didn’t get off to a good start through the opening 10 or 11 games.

“Things didn’t work out from day one,” said Farrington, adding had he had the roster he has to end the season, “and a few more breaks, it could be a different summer.”

But Farrington added the WMBL is not a particularly forgiving league.

“It’s a grind, a lot of games in a lot of days,” he said.

In the end the Cardinals just never put enough wins together.

This past week was an example of the grind. After six straight road losses the Yorkton Cardinals returned to Jubilee Park for action last Wednesday.

The visitors were the Western Major Baseball League’s East Divisionleading Weyburn Beavers, who quickly showed why they are the best in the east scoring runs in each of the first

four innings to lead 8-0.

The Beavers would add six in the eighth for a 14-0 lead, before the Cardinals finally scored a single run in their half of the eighth in a 14-1 loss.

Wryland McKnight started on the hill for Yorkton taking the loss after 3.2 innings of work where he gave up 11 hits and eight runs, seven of those earned.

The same teams were at it again Thursday at Jubilee Park. The game was closer, but the winner and loser were the same.

This time the Beavers took a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning, then went up 3-0 with two in the seventh.

The Cardinals responded with a single run in the home half of the seventh.

Weyburn added a fourth run in the eighth to round out a 4-1 victory.

Owen Steele started on the hill for Yorkton going seven innings, allowing 10 hits and four runs, but only two of those earned. He was tagged with the loss.

Friday the Cardinals were again on their home diamond hosting Moose Jaw. Yorkton plated a single run in the first inning, and held the one-run lead until the Miller Express scored one in the fifth to tie the contest.

Moose Jaw pulled ahead with a run in the sixth, then added seven

Yorkton won a pair of games in Melville this week.

The teams traded single runs in the second, then Melville added three in the third to take a lead they held throughout with the game ending 10-4 for the visitors.

Chris Cook took the loss on the mound for Yorkton, while Ricky Hockett earned the win for the Mills.

Coach Farrington said the three games against Melville in two days showed how the game can change overnight.

“It’s kind of how baseball goes, you can be good one day and the opposite the next,” he said.

Logan MacDougal was the starting pitcher for Yorkton Friday. in the seventh for a 9-1 lead.

The Cardinals managed to respond with two in the home-half of the seventh to make in 9-3, which would be the final score in the game.

Logan MacDougal started, and took the loss for Yorkton pitching six innings, and scattering nine hits, and allowing two runs, both of those earned.

First baseman Dillon Champagne hit a home run for the home side, his fourth of the season.

Saturday the Cardinals headed south on Highway #10 for a doubleheader in Melville.

And in game one a long Cardinal losing streak came to an end as Yorkton won for the first time in ten games.

But the win did not come easily as the host Millionaires scored three in the home-half of the first inning, then did the same thing in the third to lead 6-0 early.

The Cardinals then plated three in the fourth, and three in the fifth to knot the scores at sixes.

Yorkton added one in the sixth to lead 7-6, only to see that lead evaporate as the Mills scored three in the bottom of the sixth to regain a 9-7 lead.

But the Cardinals were not to be denied plating three in the seventh, the final inning in a

doubleheader game, for a 10-9 win.

Three home runs were launched in the contest, Logan Zozaya going yard for the Cardinals, his first of the season, while Justin Braziel and Edarian Williams went deep for the Mills.

Matt Zanutto was the winning pitcher for Yorkton based on 1.1 inning of relief work.

Joey Walls took the loss for Melville, in relief as well.

Pirie Field proved

to the liking of the Cardinals in game two as well. Yorkton scored one in the third, added four in the fourth, and two in the fifth on their way to a 7-2 win.

Parker Hubbard was the winning pitcher for Yorkton tossing five innings as the starter, while starter Zach Diaz took the loss for Melville tossing four innings.

The teams would meet again Sunday afternoon at Jubilee Park in Yorkton.

Up next

The WMBL league season will wind up this week for the last place Cardinals who will miss the playoffs.

Tonight, (Wednesday), the Cardinals host Moose Jaw. Thursday Regina will visit for a doubleheader Thursday, starting at 6:05 p.m.

Friday Yorkton heads to Swift Current for action, where they will also play the 57s Saturday and Sunday.

U19 take the provincial final The Yorkton United Football Club U19 Boys travelled to North Battleford over the Canada Day long weekend to compete in the SSA 11 A side Provincial Championships.

The team was led by coach Robert Okeny and assistant coach and manager Glen Gelowitz.

“We had a thin squad with us on the weekend with only 12 boys able to make the trip to North Battleford for our two leg, total goal tie versus tournament host North Battleford,” reported the team.

Their first game was played Saturday June 30.

“Our boys got off to a great start scoring five unanswered goals in the first half,” stated the report.

Goal scorers were Nic Nesseth with the first goal with a long range shot that caught the keeper of his line and then Nick Fetsch, the team’s

striker added four goals.

“In the second half we changed things up, with Nick Fetsch donning the keeper jersey,” stated the report. “The North Battleford boys brought out some new life in the second half after a stern pep talk from their coach, scoring two unanswered goals to end the first leg 5-2 with YUFC carrying a three-goal advantage into the final leg.”

The second game was played Canada Day. “Once again our boys got off to a good start with Nick Fetsch scoring our first on a penalty,” stated the report.

Despite having numerous good scoring chances throughout the first frame, the score remained 1-0 at the end of the first half.

Early in the second half Nick Fetsch scored his second of the game, before North Battleford broke the plain with one of their own to make the

Yorkton held on to their lead and their unbeaten season, endwinning their third provincial championship in a row for the boys playing to bring another provincial title home to YUFC. Two years ago in Lloydminster all three YUFC teams (U14, U16, and U18 boys) brought home provincial titles for Yorkton and last year their U19 boys won the provincial title in Saskatoon, which set the stage for this year.

Yorkton players help Sask. snag silver medal

By Sean Mott Staff Writer Kenten Effa fought to earn his trip to Ontario.

The 14-year-old athlete competed in several football camps earlier this year. He worked against hundreds of players from across the province, running through countless drills.

“It was a battle,” he said. “You had to work your butt off.”

Effa, along with four fellow Yorktonites, secured a spot on Saskatchewan’s 40-man team. The group competed in the Under-16 Eastern Challenge in Guelph from Jul. 7-15.

Saskatchewan played against Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, and Quebec for field supremacy.

Effa (lineback), Jaxon Boyda (defensive back), Reece McCormick (defensive line), Dallas Thiessen (offensive line), and Keane Szabo (lineback) were instrumental

in team Saskatchewan’s success. The group snagged the silver medal after the week-long tournament.

“We were extremely proud of their committment,” said Jason Boyda, football coach at Yorkton Regional High School.

“The boys did a really good job.”

Saskatchewan faced Ontario on Jul. 8 in their first game. In a back-andforthaffair,Saskatchewan squeaked out on top with a 12-10 win, earning a by into the gold medal game.

McCormick credited his team’s cohesiveness for their victory.

“We knew how each other played,” he said.

Saskatchewan squared off against Quebec for the top prize on Jul. 14. Saskatchewan’s opponents held a consistent lead during the tough game.

“We didn’t have a strong fist half,” Szabo said. “We came out kind of flat.”

“They were well

coached,” Effa said.

Quebec ultimately triumphed with a 38-8 victory, sending Saskatchewan home with a silver medal. The Yorkton players are inspired to best their tournament performance. “[I want to] work harder and become greater,” Jaxon Boyda said.

Beyond the gridiron, the Yorkton players enjoyed getting to know their fellow athletes from Saskatchewan and eastern Canada. “[I] met a whole bunch of players [and] new friends,” McCormick said.

“My favourite part was seeing other players’ skills,” Jaxon Boyda said.

As the regular football season draws closer, the Yorkton players are ready to put their tournament experiences to good use.

“It’s a fun sport,” Effa said. “[You] play with 12 guys and you know they’re your brothers.”

Motocross champ hangs up her boots

By Sean Mott Staff Writer At 18, Yorkton’s Kennedy Lutz hardly seems ready for retirement. Most people her age are entering the workforce for the first time. But in Lutz’s world of motocross, she’s a wellestablished veteran.

She’s racked up countless victories and trophies in her career. She’s blazed a trail across Canada and the United States few people in her age bracket can hope to match.

She’s reached the summit in her sport, so she’s decided to walk away.

“I’ve accomplished everything I’ve wanted to with racing,” she said.

“I’m ready to move on.”

Lutz is retiring from motocross competitions.

Unlike Michael Jordan or Brett Favre, Lutz is serious about staying retired. She’s selling her bike and stepping away from the sport to focus on education and the next stage of her life.

“I don’t think I’m going back,” she said.

Lutz is leaving the sport after several recent career highs. She’s featured on the August cover of Motocross magazine.

Lutz is the first woman to grace the cover of the magazine. It’s a major milestone.

“I’m pretty excited and stoked to be on the cover,” she said. “It’s always humbling to have those kind of opportunities.

“I think it’s unbelievable.”

Before she made it onto the magazine, Lutz topped off her racing

career with a massive victory. She won the 2018 Canadian Women’s West M o t o c r o s s Championship. Last year, Lutz won the East Championship. These back-to-back wins put a firm exclamation point on Lutz’s storied career.

“I had the biggest smile on my face,” she said. “I couldn’t be more happy and proud of being on the podium.”

Heading into nationals this year, Lutz knew it would probably be her

last high-level competition.

“I had no pressure,” she said. “I was just having the best time of my life.

“Once I was done, I knew it was time to hang up the boots.”

Lutz has dedicated her life to motocross, sacrificing countless hours to training.

“It takes a toll on your body and the money in your pocket,” she said.

Lutz plans to finish her high school educa-

tion and focus on university life. She’s working at a part-time job. Now that her racing days are behind her, she wants to live a “normal teenage life.”

Lutz has come a long way from driving her PW50 around her family’s farm as a kid. She’s worked her way to the top of her sport. She’s leaving it with mixed emotions.

“Obviously I’m going to miss the racing,” she said. “But I’m happy and relieved that it’s over.”

Lutz hasn’t completely divorced herself from the motocross world. She’s mentored a few up-andcoming racers, providing tips and tricks from a champion. She offers simple advice for anyone who steps into the racing world: Don’t give up.

“There are so many ups and downs,” she said.

“It’s easy to...not believe in yourself.

“Trust in the process and know that tomorrow’s a new day.”

What we eat changing for health Continuing last week’s thoughts on the changing way we approach our food, the vision of what is best for us is changing, too.

Canada has a revised food guide that is less about what exactly should be consumed and appears more about an overall approach to eating healthy.

To accomplish that broader goal, the guide promotes providing better nutrition information.

In many ways, the vision is one of common sense with salt, sugar, and saturated fats on the list of things we should reduce in our diets. This

is largely reaffirming the obvious, since there has been repeated suggestions we consume too much of the three, all of which, when taken in excess have been shown to be bad for our health.

You might point to the reality of more store-bought, processed foods, rather than relying on our gardens and chicken coops, is in part the problem with more salts and sugar in our diets, but the reason is less important than the effort to change things.

In that regard, we are likely to see more labelling to help make better nutritional choices.

Health Canada is

Agriculture THIS WEEK

Calvin Daniels proposing a requirement to declare high levels of salt, fat, and sugar on the front of packages with warning labels. This is a solid idea because consumers will be able to see it easily, although it doesn’t mean it will change purchasing a great deal, as health warning labels

on cigarettes never seemed to have a huge influence.

At the same time there will be greater effort put into children eating better, creating good habits early.

That effort includes Parliament drafting a new law restricting food advertising to children.

Bill S-228 proposes to ban marketing food and beverages to children younger than 13.

The new law would largely mimic the Quebec Consumer Protection Act, which has long banned advertising of all goods and services targeted at children younger than 13.

The United Kingdom, Norway, and Sweden have similar legislation.

Canadian children watch a lot of television on a daily basis and advertising does influence the wants and desires of us all, so restricting what young people see may well have a positive impact.

It might be argued parents ultimately make the decision about what food is put in school lunches and on the dinner table at home; however, what children lobby for is often what they get.

If the backyard garden was filling the family freezer the options would be automatically different, too.

But it’s unlikely we’ll return to most people raising much of their own food, so we must better learn what to buy to be healthy.

Calvin Daniels is Editor with Yorkton This Week.

Crop staging critical for weed control There is a renewed focus on cereal crops in Canada this year. The annual seeded acres for all cereal crops – including durum, barley and spring wheat – have increased more than 10 percent from 2017 to reach 24.7 million acres, according to Statistics Canada.

As harvest approaches, managing weed pressure will soon be top-ofmind: a clean field makes for a quicker harvest, and it is easier to store grain when green matter is kept to a minimum.

Growers are reminded to carefully follow label recommendations for pre-harvest aids, as improper use and application timing can impact marketability.

The Keep it Clean! campaign from Cereals Canada is focusing heav-

ily on this message for 2018 as Canadian cereal exports are under increased scrutiny for quality control and testing. The premise behind the campaign is to educate growers on the steps to maximize export marketability.

Brenna Mahoney, director of communications at Cereals Canada noted, “Growers need the right information at the right time in order to make the most informed decisions for their farm. This is the main goal of the Keep it Clean program.”

Mahoney continued with, “As market access issues can change rapidly, we need to be able to get information our quickly to farmers. This helps protect their business as well as the entire value chain.”

Keep it Clean! - cer-

eals also outlines special considerations related to glyphosate and crop staging. While glyphosate is approved for pre-harvest use in wheat, spraying it after a crop has reached maturity can leave residues on the crop and jeopardize marketability within major grain export markets.

“Many growers know the benefits of pre-harvest herbicides for lateseason weed control, but timing is critical to manage residue limits,” said Melissa Parkinson, Crop Manager for Cereals at BASF. Last summer, CODEX Alimentarius Commission (CAC) established Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for Heat LQ as a harvest aid in cereals. This allowed BASF to establish MRLs in all major export markets to support the use of

Heat LQ as a pre-harvest herbicide in wheat and barley with glyphosate.

“This is the first opportunity many growers will have to use Heat LQ on their cereal crops as a pre-harvest herbicide,” said Parkinson.

“This will provide growers a tool to help dry down and manage tough broadleaf weeds like volunteer Roundup Ready canola.

Controlling those weeds will lead to a cleaner sample, and also puts less stress on your combine.” Heat LQ is recommended to be tank-mixed with glyphosate for added activity on tough broadleaf weeds including Canada thistle, volunteer canola, and wild buckwheat.

Bruce MacKinnon has seen the impact of volunteer canola on cereals in Alberta. As a Certified

Crop Advisor and BASF technical specialist in Lethbridge, MacKinnon has worked with growers looking for a solution to the rising problem of volunteers. “It’s a weed that can be quite difficult to manage if you don’t include a tank-mix partner for multiple modes of action. If you’ve used a Roundup Ready canola system in the past, glyphosate alone just won’t work – regardless of when you apply it,” he said.

Timing is one of the most important steps with any pre-harvest herbicide application and in determining what benefit you are hoping to achieve. “Pre-harvest herbicides work differently depending on which crop you are applying it to. For cereals, your pre-harvest goal is to con-

trol weeds – not to dry down your crop,” said MacKinnon. He recommends growers apply a pre-harvest aid when the crop has a moisture content of 30 percent or less, but before full maturity, and to use increased water volume of at least 10 gallons per acre to get full coverage.

BASF has established accepted MRLs for Heat LQ on wheat, feed barley and triticale. If you are planning to use Heat LQ on oats or malt barley, be sure to discuss with your grain buyer to adhere to their pre-harvest herbicide requirements.

For more advice on crop staging for preharvest herbicides in cereals, visit the Cereals Canada website www.

Good weather helps crop progress Crops across the province are advancing quickly, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s weekly Crop Report.

Eighty per cent of the fall cereals, 78 per cent of the spring cereals, 76 per cent of the oilseeds and 78 per cent of the pulse crops are at their normal stages of development for this time of year. Crop conditions vary widely based on moisture levels but the majority of crops range from fair to excellent in condition.

Many areas of the prov-

ince have seen another week of wild weather that brought hail, severe wind and crop damage; however, it also brought some much-needed moisture. Rainfall ranged from trace amounts to 103 mm in the Glaslyn area. The Turtleford area reported 61 mm of rain, the Broadview area reported 18 mm, the Shaunavon area 48 mm, the Lumsden area 10 mm and the Saskatoon area 52 mm. Some areas in the west-central and southwestern regions are still in need of a significant

rainfall to help crops fill pods and heads.

Despite this week’s weather, livestock producers have continued with haying and now have 22 per cent of the hay crop cut and 47 per cent baled or put into silage. Hay quality is rated as seven per cent excellent, 65 per cent good, 25 per cent fair and three per cent poor.

Many swaths are smaller than normal and hay yields are below average overall.

Estimated average dryland hay yields at this time are one ton per acre

for alfalfa and alfalfa/ bromegrass; 0.8 ton per acre for other tame hay and 1.5 tons per acre for greenfeed. Estimated average irrigated hay yields are 2.1 tons per acre for alfalfa; 2.2 tons per acre for alfalfa/ bromegrass and 2.7 tons per acre for greenfeed.

Pasture growth is limited in some areas and a significant rainfall would be beneficial.

Across the province, topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as two per cent surplus, 57 per cent

adequate, 30 per cent short and 11 per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as two per cent surplus, 45 per cent adequate, 35 per cent short and 18 per cent very short.

Producers have seen crop damage this week from a variety of sources.

High temperatures and strong winds throughout the province continued to stress crops. Storms brought localized flooding, hail and strong wind.

There have been some reports of high numbers

of grasshoppers in areas, along with some disease issues caused by fusarium head blight, root rots and leaf spot diseases. Due to recent high temperatures, there has been some damage due to heat blasting in flowering canola crops.

KIDD - Gerald “Gerry” Kidd passed away peacefully after a sudden illness with his family at his side in Regina General Hospital on July 19, 2018. Gerry was born in Regina, SK to Emily and Ross Kidd. He was raised in Regina. Following school he moved to Winnipeg with his first wife Dianna and worked with CP Rail. They returned to Saskatchewan where Gerry worked with Downey Construction. Crystal and Jason joined the family in 1970 and 1973. Gerry then started his long career with Sask Power in 1975. His time with Sask Power brought with it many long and lasting friendships and much joy, memories and good times. He retired from Sask Power in 2002. He was pulled out of retirement in 2014 to work with Maxim Energy which he loved - it had him back in his element inspecting poles and around “the crew” again. After the death of his first wife, Gerry was fortunate to find his second partner in life, Judy and an extended family that he loved as his own. Life was filled with grandkids, friends, step kids, step grandchildren, fishing, camping, fun and laughter.

He was loved and respected by everyone who was fortunate to meet and know him. Gerry is predeceased by his mother and father, Emily and Ross, and his first wife, Dianna (nee Faul). He is survived by his partner, Judy, his daughter Crystal (Allan), son Jason (Tracy), grandkids Tre, Tini, Josh and Justin, sister Sharon (Bob) and step kids Carla (Shawn) and Michael, step grandkids Grace, Claire, Brynn, Bailey, Logan and Charlotte and many nieces, nephews, cousins and close friends that are considered family. A Celebration of his Life will be held at Christie’s in Yorkton, SK on Wednesday, July 25 at 2 p.m. followed by a gathering at the family home that we hope to see everyone attend. Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to STARS Air Ambulance. The family wish to thank our neighbours, first responders, the STARS crew and all the hospital staff who cared for him and made it possible for our family to be by his side.

MACKENZIE – MacKenzie, Ellen (Walsh) Age 94, passed away peacefully on July 16, 2018. Born and raised in Yorkton, SK, Ellen was a daughter of the late Mary (Toner) and William Walsh.

After she married Gordon MacKenzie (1959) she became a stay-at-home mother who relished her time caring, baking, and sewing for her family and friends. Ellen enjoyed going to Mass and had a strong devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. She was a member of the Catholic Women's League, the Central Association of the Miraculous Medal, and the Canadian Legion. Ellen had a great sense of humour, liked to garden, and was an avid bowler into her 80's. She especially loved the time she spent with her grandchildren.

PLAN NUMBER 1-3675 IDEAL FOR A SLOPING LOT This three-bedroom home, designed for a lot that slopes to the back, features traditional touches on the exterior that give it character.

But everything on the interior is right up-todate.

The covered entry has a lofty 11-foot ceiling that carries through into the foyer and the open-plan great room, as well as the dining area.

Situated on the wall that stretches from the great room to the dining area are sliding glass doors to the covered deck and the back garden beyond. The great room also includes a gas fireplace that will warm the dining area and the kitchen during the cooler months.

The kitchen, with a nine-foot ceiling, is separated from the great room and dining area by a six-sided work island.

A surprisingly good critter collector

B9

THE MEEPLE GUILD (Yorkton) meeple.guild@gmail.com Xenofera was one of those most pleasant surprises that sometimes happen when you break the seal on a board game.

The art of the box top was a bit ‘young-looking’, that is to say it made one think the game might have been geared specifically to younger children, so it was unclear exactly what the game might play like for adults.

The game, created by Liz Gattra and Jeff Porter from Puff Duck Games, plays two to five players.

But, the theme sounded fun at least.

“Once a decade the Royal Society of Xenofera Hunstmen sponsors the Great Galactic Hunt,” detailed fluff in the rulebook.

“Members, representing the various Royal Families, compete to gather the most magnificent collections of Xenofera, alien creatures, from across the galaxy. Creatures are given points based on their appeal with bonus points awarded for specific collections of creatures. The member with the most appealing collection at the end of the hunt is the winner. Members, being Royals, rarely participate in the hunts themselves. Instead, they hire the most experienced huntsmen from throughout the galaxy to lead their expeditions.

“You have been hired by one of the Royal Families to represent them in this decade’s hunt. They have supplied you with a ship, but you will need to recruit your own crew and build your own cages before you can capture the creatures.

While you’ll want to capture the most appealing creatures you can, your Royal Family has requested try and capture a specific collection of creatures they feel will give them an edge during the final tally.”

And that is where gameplay focuses.

“You will be competing for crew, cages and creatures against some of the greatest huntsmen in the galaxy,” continued the rules fluff. “And no huntsman is above stealing from or sabotaging another’s expedition.

You will need to be vigilant and cunning if you are to capture the best collection and prove that you are the Greatest Huntsman in the Galaxy.

“To win, you must have the highest number of points at the end of the game. Points are gained by capturing creatures and completing special collections.”

There are cards representing the alien critters you are after, and here the art takes a major leap forward compared to the box top.

Any of the creature cards would make great game posters as they are done in a pastel style, with whimsical critters ranging from the bumble bee bat to the horned mouse, the cownivore, pigasus and of course a hack-a-lope.

A cool aspect of the cards is the scientific name is included; bovivorous rex as an example being the cownivore.

The cards do have a lot of icons which initially looked like a bit much, but they are welldesigned and very quickly understood in terms of game play.

So you build cages, add crew and capture strange animals, and at the end of the games each player calculates their score by adding the total values of all the creatures in their cargo bay to the total bonus points for any collections successfully completed (goals within the game), minus any crew member costs for crew members in their crew quarters.

The winner is the player with the highest score. In case of a tie, the winner is the player who captured the most creatures.

In the end a game with loads of charm, and smooth game play which is easy to learn and quick enough, the box suggests 60-minutes and that is pretty accurate for a four player game at least, that it’s easy to recommend.

Check it out at www. xenofera.com Thanks to fellow gamers Jeff Chasse, Trevor Lyons and Adam Daniels for their help in running through this game for review.
