The Yorkton Boys and Girls Club hosts drop-in programs for kids to do a variety of different activities throughout the summer. Each program gives kids an opportunity to do something unique, creative, and fun. This past week, on Aug. 2, kids

gathered to make bird feeders, combining pine cones and seeds for a special treat for any birds in the area.

City of Yorkton wants you to recycle

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The City of Yorkton has had a curbside recycling program for over a decade, allowing people to just toss their recycling in front of their homes once a week, to be picked up by the youth in the Prairie Harvest Employment Program.

The push now is to get more people using the program. Mayor

Bob Maloney said that while the amount of use of the curbside program is improving, they want to see more.

The result of this effort is a campaign to get people more aware of the recycling program, what can be recycled. They have also launched a survey to get feedback on the curbside recycling program.

JeanAnne Teliske with Environmental Services said that because Yorkton was on the

lower end of curbside recycling usage comparing cities of comparable size, they wanted to find a way to engage the city’s population.

“We want to increase participation, increase awareness and increase engagement about our waste and recycling programs here in Yorkton.”

Maloney appreciates how the survey is being used as an

RCMP search for information following robbery The Yorkton RCMP are investigating a robbery that happened at the 7/11 on Broadway Street West on Aug. 5.

According to a Facebook post made by the RCMP, on Aug. 5, at approximately 11:50 p.m., two unknown masked males entered the business. One male brandished a weapon, while another demanded cash and stole cigarettes and cigars. Both males left on foot in an unknown direction. No one was physically injured.

The suspects are described as: -two adult males

Working with steam at the Threshermen’s

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer It’s big, it’s powerful, it’s over 100 years old, and it’s Matthew Weber’s baby. The Waterloo tractor was one of the tractors working at the Threshermen’s Show and Seniors’ Festival, a steam engine that has been a staple

of the event for several years.

Weber is one of the engineers who runs it.

Weber is an engineer certified to run a steam engine. It’s regulated by the province and everyone who wants to operate one has to take a test to show they can do so safely. If you have the knowledge to run it, Weber notes, the engine is very

safe.

“Of course there always a risk in anything you do, but it’s quite a safe machine if you operate it properly.”

Weber is fascinated by how steam works and that’s why he took the course, took the license test, and now operates steam tractors for the WDM. “You can’t hear it, but you

can see it. It’s a very quiet power... Heat a little bit of water, get that steam and see what you can do with it.”

Running a steam engine also connects you with history and running a tractor that has been around for over 100 years tells you about the people who used it long before you came along.

“I’ve always had a huge interest in and fascination with history, to see how our forefathers worked on this land and the type of equipment that they worked with,” Weber said.

new 109-year-old tractor made by Geiser that just arrived on July 31. The Waterloo remains Weber’s favourite because he was part of bringing it back to life, getting it fully inspected and certified, and working to get it operating again. While the Geiser might be new to the museum, the Waterloo is what got Weber into steam after he had been part of the gas program at the WDM and he helped get it working.

“This engine was shut down for a number of years due to some mechanical issues. It sat idle for about ten years...

I was actually be able to be part of this engine right from when it came back on the books.”

Being pieces of history, the tractors don’t have much in the way of parts support, and the service department at Waterloo and Geiser is terrible, largely because it doesn’t exist anymore. Keeping them running can sometimes be a major challenge.

“We have to essentially figure out and write a maintenance manual on these things, because the maintenance and procedures, a lot of it was done by memory by the guys operating it, and those guys aren’t around anymore.”

It takes about 30-40 people within the Western Development Museum to keep their steam fleet going.

Matthew Weber drives the Waterloo Steam Tractor as it plows the field at the Threshermen’s Show and Senior’s Festival.

If you want to drive the tractor, how do you do it? The important part is getting certified. While you can challenge the test at any time, Weber said, the best way to do it is to take a course through the Western Development

Museum. The next steam traction course will be in May 2019 in Moose Jaw. It’s a nine day course with an optional two day weekend for a locomotive upgrade. After that, to operate on WDM property you can take a driv-

er’s test through the WDM. Weber hopes people do. He wants to see more people volunteering for the WDM overall, whether they’re interested in steam or something else at Threshermen’s show,

there is always a need for more people to help make the day work and teach people about the province’s past. He believes we need to keep the traditions they show off every year alive and that needs people.

“If we don’t remember this, don’t respect it, don’t learn about how our ancestors worked and the amount of labour...

The knowledge, the get up and go, the drive that these guys had, this is all going to get lost to history

educational tool, telling people details about the program as they answer questions and provide feedback.

“In looking for information, they are also giving information.”

Teliske notes that they had two areas where they wanted to focus their education efforts on. One, telling people what can, and can’t, be recycled.

Two, telling people they’re paying for it anyway, as a way of encouraging them to give it a chance.

“We wanted people to know that people were paying for the recycling service regardless if they were using it or not. We wanted them to know that, so if people realized they were already paying for it they would start using it.”

One thing the city is contemplating is making an app to go along with the recycling program, which would feature a

reminder so people take their recycling out on the right day, and a guide if they have questions about whether something can actually be recycled.

The survey will be used to guide the development of the program in the future. Some things are unlikely to change, Maloney explains, because it would take away some of the cost advantages that the system has now.

“Some people would like us to go to the cart system, but the cart system would costs us more than we’re doing now.

The reason for that is we have a group of people through the Prairie Harvest Employment Program, and there’s a

One of the advantages for the city is that if more people recycle, the cheaper it is for city residents. While Maloney notes that they might not make a great deal of money on recycled materials, it’s all savings in the long run, because the recycled products don’t go into the landfill. Given new environmental regulations, landfill expansion is increasingly expensive – Yorkton’s new pit cost the city $5.6 million – so they want to

“If we have to build more pits, that adds more costs, and that means your garbage collection is going to cost you more.

To save money, recycle.”

Maloney said he personally sees a difference in the amount of garbage from his own home.

“I know for myself, because so much goes into recycling, my garbage barrel is usually less than a third full. It has a real saving on what goes into our landfill.”

This is not the only way that the city is doing to try to divert waste from the landfill. They are also trying to encourage compost and mulching to pre-

Politics Let us be clear that it is a good thing that the RCMP is not laying criminal charges in the Global Transportation Hub (GTH) fiasco.

Certainly, it is a great thing for the Saskatchewan Party government, whose credibility would have taken a serious hit if it headed into the 2020 election under the cloud of criminal court cases.

But consider for a moment how bad such a circumstance would have been for democracy, itself.

Such a scandal would have affected the political fortunes of the Sask. Party, as was the case for the Progressive Conservatives in the early 1990s after their own caucus communication fraud scandal that produced 16 criminal convictions of MLAs and staff.

Setting aside judgment whether the old PCs deserved this fate (they went into hiatus and most of their members converted to the newly formed Sask. Party), this scandal disrupted the political balance in the province for nearly two decades.

What was essentially a two-party system in Saskatchewan between the NDP left and the alternative became a one-party system as that alternative transitioned from the PCs to the Liberals to the Sask. Party after the 1997 merger.

Of course, its far less likely even GTH criminal charges would have killed the mighty Sask.

Party in the same way.

Nevertheless, had the RCMP found reason for charges, there can be no doubt that it would have taken an even greater political toll on the Sask. Party than this mess already has.

After two and half years and some 7,500 man-hours of RCMP investigation, we can be now confident that there is no reason to suspect criminality.

That has to be a good thing.

But does that mean this whole sorry GTH affair is now over and we should never know what really happened?

No. Not by a long shot.

Maybe the “judicial” inquiry now being demanded by the NDP is not needed.

One would think such legal matters (with the exception of civil suits that may still possibly emerge out of the myriad of pending land acquisition transactions lawsuits) have been dispensed with.

But consider all the other things the RCMP has likely discovered during its two and a half years of investigation — non-criminal matters of questionable ethics, conflicts of interest and downright government incompetence — that the public deserves to know about but doesn’t yet know about.

Although the GTH anticipated $10 million in land sales in the 2017-18, it made no such sales that fiscal year and only $231,000 in land leases.

Total GTH debt is now $40 million, including a $28-million loan from the Royal Bank of Canada.

Debut interest is now $845,000 — $200,000 more in 2017-18 than the $635,000 in the previous fiscal year.

And this supposed inland port actually only has 12 clients — many of which are government entities ordered to locate their.

Moreover, the GTH’s very existence has clearly impacted other costly decisions — namely, the routing of now $1.9-billion Regina by-pass that has become arguably an even bigger fiasco.

Now, Justice and GTH Minister Don Morgan is talking about unloading the whole mess.

“In retrospect, it’s probably not a business the government should have been involved in,” Morgan said.

But why did it become such a mess? The public is owed this explanation.

In fairness to the opposition’s own politically driven call for a “judicial inquiry”, it repeated demanded politicians and bureaucrats come to legislative committees to explain what went wrong.

Government MLAs blocked this each and every time — sometimes using the under-investigation excuse.

Well, there is no longer a police investigation to use as an excuse, should be required to explain their actions.

And we should have an in depth Provincial Auditor forensic audit advancing her initial damning finding in her June 2016 report.

This would seem to be the very minimum that is now required.

Recyling good for community

R

ecycling waste products, be it paper, cars, plastics, cardboard, grass clippings, or other things we dispose of in our daily lives, is something that is good for our environment.

If we can recycle paper, it means fewer trees are cut down to make new paper.

If we recycle plastic, it removes a waste product from the environment that will take decades, if not longer, to decompose.

Locally, recycling lessens the flow of garbage heading to the landfill.

The less garbage in, the longer a landfill cell will last as a storage spot for our community’s garbage and that means the City has to invest less often in commissioning new cells.

Given new environmental regulations, landfill expansion is increasingly expensive – Yorkton’s new pit cost the city $5.6 million – so they want to be able to use it for as long as possible.

That is a cost saving, which is good news for a city where there are numerous projects in need of funding, including our sewers, streets, and sidewalks.

So, common sense tells us recycling is a positive thing for our city.

To the credit of the community, the opportunity to recycle has existed for years. Yorkton has had a curbside recycling program for over a decade, allowing people to just toss their recycling in front of their homes once a week, to be picked up by the youth in the Prairie Harvest Employment Program.

Having the Prairie Harvest Employment Program involved is another major plus for the overall recycling initiative as it creates entry level employment for those needing an extra hand to get into the workplace.

Now, more than a decade into a worthwhile program, the city is looking to boost participation.

In an interview with Yorkton This

Week, Mayor Bob Maloney said while the use of the curbside program is improving, they want to see more.

The result of this effort is a campaign to get people more aware of the recycling program, what can be recycled.

They have also launched a survey to get feedback on the curbside recycling program.

The reason is simply for the added focus. Yorkton is lagging in terms of recycling when compared with other similar communities.

JeanAnne Teliske with Environmental Services said that is because Yorkton was on the lower end of cities of comparable size.

The goal of the survey is to find out why this is the case and hopefully encourage more recycling in the process.

The survey is being used as an educational tool, telling people details about the program as they answer questions and provide feedback.

There are two areas being focused on.

The first is telling people what can, and can’t, be recycled.

And also reminding people they’re paying for the service anyway, so they might as well take advantage of it.

One thing the City is contemplating is making an app to go along with the recycling program, which would feature a reminder so people take their recycling out on the right day, and a guide if they have questions about whether something can actually be recycled.

Clearly, the City is dedicated to the concept of helping resident recycle, and that process has numerous positives associated with it.

The next step is for the community to take advantage of the survey to have input toward building a better recycling program for the overall good of our community.

Government to Test New and Collaborative Approach to Help Tackle Impaired Driving A new, collaborative approach to help address impaired driving in Saskatchewan will be tested by the Government of Saskatchewan from the August long weekend until Labour Day. Five pilot projects have been designed through collaboration between various government ministries and agencies, law enforcement and Crown corporations.

These projects will be implemented in different areas across the province.

“Saskatchewan has a problem with impaired driving and it’s important we approach this issue with all the tools at our disposal, because even one death or injury from impaired driving is too many,” Minister Responsible for Innovation Saskatchewan Tina Beaudry-Mellor said.

“Government, law enforcement and Crown corporations have come together on these five pilot projects that present innovative ways to look at a critical problem facing our province.”

The projects are:

The project will gather data and assess whether a small matching contribution by the government would increase the likelihood of bar patrons planning ahead for a safe ride home.

This project added two questions to the liquor permit application, to prompt applicants to develop a plan for guests to have a safe ride home.

The project aim is for police officers to give a “positive ticket” to sober/ designated drivers at scheduled police check stops and/or routine traffic stops. The tickets will encourage recipients to speak about their experience on social media using the hashtag #CareAboutImpaired.

Ticket recipients who use the hashtag publicly will be eligible to win one of 25 $150 VISA gift cards.

Social Media Campaign building awareness around and promoting responsible use: the social media handles on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook are @Sask0804 using the #howareyougettinghome (Sask0804 refers to the August long weekend date as well as the impairment levels under the criminal code).

Packaging Innovation

This project involves placing children’s drawings on brown liquor store bags, to get people to consider and discuss the consequences of impaired driving.

Once complete, the project results will be analyzed to understand what initiatives may have the potential to reduce impaired driving in Saskatchewan when implemented on a larger scale.

This photo of the Corner of Broadway Street East and Fourth Avenue North was taken from Argyle Street. Long time Yorkton resident Ray Riesz believes that if you look at the street lights and the cars this photo was likely taken in the early 1940s.

On the left we see the Texaco Service Station where today stands the Toronto-Dominion Bank which was erected in 1987. We also see the back of a three storey Patrick Block on Third Avenue North. Evergreen Motors in the centre was replaced by the York House Restaurant until just a few years ago.

What is different about this photo are the signs with a list of destinations-- villages, towns and cities which were of interest to the motorist. There are more than two signs although two are the only ones visible. On the left the sign provides mileage to Foam Lake, Saskatoon,

Edmonton, Regina, Willowbrook and Melville. To the right the list shows Bismark N.Dakota, 386 miles, North Gate --Canadian Port of Entry to North Dakota 184 miles due south, Carlyle, 134 miles, Whitewood 77 miles, Waldron 25 miles and Stockholm, 49 miles. Those were the days when we Canadians were using the Imperial system of measurement, until 1970 when the Federal Government enacted legislation to introduce the use of the metric system.

We are always looking for photos of old Yorkton and area.

BYLAW FAST FACTS

Invitation for Quotation

Did you know?

The Fire Prevention Bylaw No. 15/2010 requires that residents with a fire pit obtain an Outdoor Burning Permit each calendar year. The Bylaw also prohibits the burning of: rubbish, garden and lawn refuse, animal carcasses, etc.

Why was this Bylaw created?

For your safety: Fire Protective Services main concern is that no person is injured while enjoying their fire pit. By limiting the size and type of materials burned the potential negative impact on friends and neighbours is substantially reduced. **Please take note of Fire Bans when they are declared by the City’s Fire Chief.

Burning Permits are suspended while Fire Bans are declared until the Ban is repealed by the Fire Chief.

Kids ‘n’ Kops Big Brothers Big Sisters of Yorkton and Area brought together youth and police with the Kids ‘n’ Kops Teen program. The week-long camp had kids meeting with law enforcement, visiting court and taking part in a number of

different activities. The graduation from the event was Aug. 2, and the kids met the mayor and finished the program at City Hall.

If you like reading this site is a must Yorkton This Week’s editorial staff takes readers on an explorative journey around the Internet, searching out the best in videos, podcasts, webcomics, music and anything else that catches their collective eyes which might interest our readers.

The measure of a great website is probably best measured by how often you find yourself pulling down your favourite’s tab and clicking to go there for a visit.

While, I have a rather diverse range of interests, and head down the rabbit hole in search of new adventures online, but there are those regular spots to visit regularly.

Among the very best of those site is www. goodreads.com, with the caveat you have to be a rather avid reader to fully appreciate the site.

If you are a reader, then regular visits are almost a must.

Goodreads, at its heart is a place that collects book titles, with information on authors, publishers, various editions, and short informational notes on the books.

But it goes beyond being a massive listing of books.

Readers can start a personal profile, and begin to log books you have read, want to read, etc.

When people read books, they can log that information, complete with a rating, and review if you wish. The reviews of fellow readers can be a very useful source of information when you are contemplating purchasing a new book, from a new author.

While the resource of information on books would make Goodreads a can’t-stay-away-from site, it goes much farther as well.

One of the more interesting aspects is an annual Reading Challenge.

Each year site members can pledge how many books they plan to read in the ensuing year. It is a very gentle push to keep you getting off line and picking up a book to read.

In my case I started pledging in 2014, and while the numbers I expected to read change annually based on career and other interests, it has

YTW STAFF

Web Wanderings been run keeping an eye on the goal throughout the year. So far I have hit my goal every year but 2016, and am on target for 2018.

You can also browse through various categories including new releases, news and interviews, and maybe most interesting giveaways, where you can enter your name for draws for new books. A couple of years back I won one, so the contest is legit, and who doesn’t like winning a good book?

This is an easy site to navigate, and is packed with useful information if your read books.

Go check it out, bookmark it, and enjoy repeatedly.

Red Panda sings death metal

The elevator pitch for Aggretsuko, a new series on Netflix, is one you don’t expect. It’s a workplace comedy starring a red panda that sings death metal karaoke,

brought to you by the minds behind Hello Kitty. Those words in that order don’t make much sense on the surface, which is why I started watching the show. I needed to know what kind of madness this was.

For all of the surface oddities, it’s not actually that insane a series.

Retsuko is a red panda, with a boss who is a literal and figurative pig, colleagues who are a range of different animals who pull her in different directions. Her employers work her too hard, she wants to escape, but she’s too sensible to give up a paycheck. And, when frustrated, she screams at karaoke about her frustrations, her secret sanctuary. There is stress, romance, tricky interpersonal relationships and everything you would expect from a workplace comedy.

The surface differences do set the show apart.

Everyone on screen being incredibly cute -

these are the Hello Kitty people, let’s not forget, and everything they design appears to be made with the express desire to have children hug it while they sleep.

That makes the death metal sequences extra shocking, as the animation style changes completely and the adorable animals suddenly become flaming balls of rage. The contrast is

inherently hilarious, and every time Retsuko starts screaming in a karaoke booth can’t help but be funny.

It’s also cathartic.

Everyone in a workplace can recognize someone familiar in the cast of characters, and Retsuko shouting out her frustrations is inviting the audience shout out frustrations of their own. The characters get greater

depth as they go along too - the pig boss, for example, becomes more than a villain by the end of the show, his attitude making a degree of sense even if you can’t help but think he’s not a very good boss most of the time.

It’s a strange and adorable animated show for adults, and while nothing about it should work it somehow does.

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

Scientific steps important to ag In North America a lot of people are wanting agriculture to take a step back to its past.

The idea of organic farming, with a reliance on more tillage, greater crop rotations, and of course no chemical applications, is much like the farming of the pre-1960s. The further back you go, the more truly organic the average farm would have been.

On the livestock side of things a segment of consumers want to know their food comes from farms utilizing systems akin to an earlier time in agriculture.

The concepts of laying hens free-ranging through the yard in search of bugs to eat, and pigs rooting in the mud to cool on a hot day, is seen as the better way to raise the stock than large scale, modern barns.

One can argue about which is truly better in terms of the welfare of the animal, but that is a debate for another day.

What is of interest in this case is how we in North America, along with a few other areas of the world, have the luxury of questioning how our food is produced. We have that luxury because most of us

And there is also the issue of producing the food.

Agriculture THIS WEEK

Calvin Daniels have the disposable income necessary to have food on the table. And, we have grocery stores with the shelves filled with food just down the street.

That is not the case in many places in the world.

Many people, in many countries, live on a few hundred dollars; Malawi, Burundi, the Central African Republic and Liberia, among the poorest with Gross National Income (GNI) per Capita under $400. Imagine keeping food on the table with such a miniscule income.

It is interesting to note China, a country where the population grows, is still a country where farmers have had small flocks of chickens. But, the country is working on moving away from small flocks to large scale operations, with a plan to produce millions of laying hens to a billion eggs a day. The numbers are staggering, but the Chinese population in 2016 was somewhere around 1.4 billion so the daily food requirements are equally massive.

The likelihood of free-run hens accomplishing a goal of one billion eggs a day would be a stretch at best.

That is not to suggest animal welfare is not important, nor is it suggesting controls of chemical use on crops are not important, but there does need to be balance.

Feeding the world is the first step, and technology, and farm advancements are a large part of what makes that possible.

P&H opens new facility, plans for more

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer It opened later than they wanted, but the new Parrish and Heimbecker fertilizer blending facility just outside of Yorkton, north on Highway 9. The shed has the capacity to hold about 6,000 tonnes of fertilizer, with multiple separations to get a wide range of blends for farmers.

Justin Watson, vice president of crop inputs Canada with Parrish and Heimbecker, said that part of the reason why the facility took a while to get together because of an ambitious construction plan across western

Canada. There are about 10 similar facilities that have opened across the province.

“It got pushed back about a year or so because you are coordinating all of these different events at the same time.”

They wanted to be able to offer customers the ability to buy custom fertilizer blends, and the new facility allows that.

One building opened last week, but that’s far from the end of the plans for the site. Right now it’s near rail, but it will soon get tied into the rail system, to allow them to expand the number of products they offer and

the amount of volume they can handle, Watson said.

The fertilizer shed is also merely the first building. Watson notes that the next phase of the project will see the construction of a new chemical shed. They also want to set up a way for farmers to buy seed at the same site. The second phase is not currently very far along, still in the very early phase of construction, but the plan is to have a one stop shop for farmers as they plan their crop year, Watson explained.

“Basically this is going to be a full crop input campus.”

Crop Report for the Period July 24 to 30, 2018 Harvest operations are underway for some producers in the south, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s weekly Crop Report. Crops are rapidly drying down across the province and many pulse crops are being desiccated. Most crops remain in fair to excellent condition, although later-seeded crops need rain to help heads and pods fill.

Reported yields so far range from average to well-below average, depending on field and moisture conditions.

Most areas of the province did not receive any rain last week, although the Arborfield area reported 22 mm and the Macklin area 20 mm. Many southern and central areas have not received significant moisture for well over a month, and any future rainfall may be of limited benefit since most southern crops are quickly ripening.

Topsoil moisture conditions have worsened since last week due to the lack of rain and hot temperatures.

Provincial topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are currently rated as 39 per cent adequate, 43 per cent short and 18 per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 33 per cent adequate, 39 per cent short and 28 per cent very short.

The majority of crop damage this past week is attributed to lack of moisture, strong wind and high temperatures. There have been some reports of grasshoppers in the south. Haying

is wrapping up for some livestock producers and yields remain significantly lower than normal. Pasture conditions are currently rated as two per cent excellent, 25 per cent good, 37 per cent fair, 26 per cent poor and 10 per cent very poor.

East Coast ambassador

Wednesday, August 8, 2018 | www.YorktonThisWeek.com | Yorkton This Week

I am a poor ambassador for Saskatchewan.

Even after living in the Prairies for over a year, I’m hardly an expert on western Canadian life.

I’ve explored a fraction of Saskatchewan, only experiencing a small portion of what this province has to offer. Locals still have to explain customs and traditions to me. I’m hardly anyone’s idea of a Saskatchewan spokesman.

But, nonetheless, I found myself in the position of Prairie ambassador last week. I didn’t exactly rise to the occasion.

I didn’t plan on being an ambassador. I visited my home province last week to eat cheap donairs, swim in the ocean, and sweat profusely in the humid temperature. I wasn’t expecting to represent Saskatchewan; it just turned out that way.

During my stay in Nova Scotia (the greatest Maritime province, don’t even try to debate me), I met with several East Coast friends. Our conversations sprawled from college memories to political debates to discussions over the necessity of Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again. Inevitably,

SEAN MOTT

Settling in... all conversations led to my adopted province of Saskatchewan.

My Atlantic Ocean-bound friends wanted to know what life was like out west.

I tried my best, I really did. I tried to explain Saskatchewan without

using Corner Gas analogies. I tried to paint a picture of life in the Prairies. I’m pretty sure I failed.

My description of the infinite stretch of highways and farms were meant to evoke images of imposing silos and daz-

zling horizons. Based on my friends’ reactions, I think I made Saskatchewn sound like a nightmarishly flat wasteland.

But worst of all, my greatest ambassadorial sin, I failed to properly describe the wonders of taco in a bag. Out east, it’s rare to find someone filling a Doritos bag full of delicious meat. My friends were incredulous when I described the dish. I couldn’t persuade them to see the ingenuity behind stuffing a bag with taco ingredients. I failed as a Saskatchewan ambassador.

Of course, I’m not

much better as a Nova Scotia ambassador.

During my stay in the Prairies, I’ve yet to fully convince anyone that the donair is the greatest culinary achievement in the history of mankind (no hyperbole). I’ve also failed to make my case that poutine can only truly exist on the East Coast. I’ve let my home province down.

So, if you need someone to represent your culture and customs, I would recommend anybody but me. However, if you need someone to pedantically debate movie trivia, I’m your man.

A walk in an alien infested forest Ah the wonderment of a game that surprises the player with what the overall experience of playing the game are.

Take as an example Nightmare Forest: Alien Invasion from designer Dave Killingsworth and SolarFlare Games.

“You are the lone survivor of last year’s Dead Run Incident, (an early game in the same family, and it is your mission to help keep the City safe, even when it is not aware that it needs defending,” details the rulebook fluff.

“It was the night when the animals came back from the dead hungering for the brains of humans.

Somehow, you were able to escape the Nightmare Forest before it was overrun by the undead. After your escape, you were able to alert the City, and raise a force that stopped the nightmare before it was too late.

“After that horrifying experience, you steeled your heart and appointed yourself the investigator of the strange, wild and unexplained in and around the City.

“Recently, you saw strange lights hovering just outside the City. You tried to raise the alarm that there is a new threat to your home, but memories are short, and your brief fame as the savoir of the City has passed.

You need to go find out if the threat is real, and try to stop it before it’s too late. You grab your gear, call a few friends and head out looking for the truth. Can you survive another journey into the Nightmare Forest?”

To start I have not played Dead Run, although the idea of a zombie-filled romp as Halloween approaches does intrigue.

But in this one the forest is infested with aliens.

“When you play Nightmare Forest: Alien Invasion the goal of the game is to work with your friends to cleanse the forest of the Alien Expeditionary Force, before it’s too late,” explains the rules.

“To save the City, you will need to work with your friends to eliminate all of the Aliens infesting the forest and have all the characters survive.

You will need to eliminate all of the Aliens

before time runs out or they will summon the rest of their force and take over the City, then the world.”

This one fits into the genre of co-operative games, such as the megapopular Pandemic series, and lesser lights such as Forbidden Island, with this one on the lighter side of things in terms of game play.

Nightmare Forest does allow for one to six players to take on the task of clearing the forest. That range in terms of players is a definite asset for the game as solo games are still not that plentiful, and six allows a good-sized crew to game together.

In terms of learning curve, this one is also

THE MEEPLE GUILD (Yorkton) meeple.guild@gmail.com rather gentle, so you can get a small group up to speed pretty quickly.

Nightmare Forest is essentially a dice fest.

Players take actions by spending dice – at the beginning of the game, all players are Level One and have four dice in their dice pool. By defeating aliens, players can earn experience which they can use to

level up and gain additional dice.

The grow as you go in terms of player power is a neat feature.

“In Nightmare Forest: Alien Invasion, players must explore every part of the forest to find and destroy any aliens that are hiding there,” explain the rules. “To clear the forest, you flip a forest card adjacent to

your character. Forest cards may conceal aliens, dastardly traps, powerful allies, or valuable gear caches.”

If you flip a forest card and it reveals an alien, you must fight the alien immediately, (again you toss a few dice).

When you fight an Alien, you can use as many dice as you have available in your dice pool to inflict damage.

As you might have already noted there are not a lot of head-scratching decisions here. As a group you must eventually flip every card, and while some aliens are harder to deal with, the cards, while hidden, have colour-coded backs which make avoiding the bigger baddies until you

level up possible.

A fun aspect of the game is the humour of the alien cards, which all include smart pop culture references or short quips that are pretty funny. Sadly in game you rarely take time to read them since they do not influence the game.

As a quick filler game Nightmare Forest: Alien Invasion is solid, the kind of game most players will be willing to give a play through for some quick fun.

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

Heavy in the Streets When Jared Robertson died in a motorcycle collision, his family and motorcycle club, the Disciple Christian Motorcycle Club, wanted to find a way to celebrate his life and his passion, and show that there can be joy even in the midst of grief. The Heavy in the Streets event featured a burnout competition, show and shine, and supper. Money raised from the event went to Rock Solid Refuge, a camp to help teenagers overcome issues in their lives. Tires disappeared in a cloud of smoke in tribute to Robertson.

Gardener’s Notebook Did you plant any of Buzz’s flowers this year?

In the spring, Cheerios teamed up with Vesey’s Seeds to send out free packages of “bee-friendly” flower seeds to anyone who requested them.

We planted ours and we are delighted at the assortment of flowers that are now blooming, among them the dainty little forget-me-not.

When I saw this plant peeking out in the row of blooms, I was immediately back in Mom’s beautiful garden. When I was a little sprout of a gardener, Mom and Dad always let me pick out what seeds I wanted to plant in my patch. One year one of my choices was forget-me-nots. They grew so well, and I was so excited! Even then, I would go out and tour the garden every day, and the first day I saw them blooming I remember running back to the house calling “Come and see! Come and see!” That feeling came back all over again when I saw them in our garden!

Forget-me-nots (myosotis) are found all over the world. My homework tells me that they like a moist place to grow, but ours are planted in an area of partial shade and seem to be doing just

fine. While they can come in pink or white, ours are a stunning pencil-crayon Mediterranean blue. The blooms are small and flat with five round petals and a yellow centre.

Though they are called biennials, I also read that they self-seed very easily, so I am hoping that will happen in our garden! This next bit of information surprised me when I read it: the plant will die after it finishes blooming, but we should leave the plant in its spot until fall and let the seeds fall where they may, and chances are good that we will have the little blue beauties there again next year. Or, if we want to plant forget-me-nots for next year, we should plant them in August.

If you want that “meadow” look of flowers growing in joyful abandon, plant a row of California poppies and forget-me-nots. They look so carefree and unstructured, the colors complement each other, and I can tell you the bees love them! Our garden is just humming! Buzz and his friends will thank you!

Visit the horticultural group at www.yorktonhort.ca, and have a great week! Be sure to wear a hat.

Pop goes the nana “I’m not having a heart attack,” I said. But no one listened.

Things move fast when you show up at emergency complaining of chest pain and trouble breathing. So many people checked me out, poking and slapping wires and sticky pads all over the place, that I felt like a cookie crumb at an ant picnic.

I’d told them they could rule out heart attack, right from the start, when the triage nurse asked what I’d been doing when the pain started.

“I was rolling down a hill, and I heard a pop,” I said.

She hesitated, but wrote it down. I don’t recall her asking WHY I was rolling down the hill.

And I was so focused on getting a breath that I didn’t think to tell her I’d spent the morning with my grandbeans, at the playground with the bungalow-high hill plunk in the middle— the perfect rolling hill.

I heard the POP deep in my chest, about three rotations down. I remember thinking that it wasn’t a good sound,

KATHLEEN GIBSON

Kathleen Gibson (www.kathleengibson.ca) is a Yorkton-based author and speaker.

that perhaps I should have left the rollingdown-the-hill-part to the little ones.

Much later, after all that testing proved me right, the X-Ray technician studied my chart.

“Rolling down the hill,” he said slowly, adding almost hesitantly, “Um... and were you alone at the time?”

Suddenly I realized I’d just upped the ante for oddball admissions.

No wonder so many staff had checked me out.

Some of them may have also checked out my friend a few months earlier. Another Nana who forgot her age—a slight bout of amnesia that resulted in a complicated collarbone break during an afternoon of tobogganing with her own grandchildren. She needed surgery, the kind that involves steel plates for repair.

Almost every grandparent I know is crazy about their grandkids.

Crazy enough to become

fools on the hill. Crazy enough to attempt things a tad too ambitious. As a grandparenting friend says, “My mind keeps writing cheques my body can’t cash.”

I pray that when I leave my Beans, their memories will be salted liberally with faith and love. Love for them, love for Jesus, and faith that made a difference. As do my children, those kids have my heart. They always will. Even if they decide to sing...“Pop goes the Nana,” at my funeral.

How can this person live without glasses?

For the past month, on the top of my refrigerator, sat a pair of glasses. They don’t belong to anyone in the house. They very nearly didn’t make it into the house, as they were found at the end of the driveway, right where people normally drive.

The glasses were nearly crushed under the weight of a surprisingly loud red hatchback, if the neighbor had not spotted them as the car was getting cleaned.

I don’t know whose glasses they are. Part of the reason for writing this column is to see if I can find the answer, because honestly I don’t have much use for someone else’s glasses. I did

throw it on an online group when I found them, in an effort to put in the least amount of effort possible in order to find the real owners. Instead, I found nobody at all.

And now, a month later, I have decided to make another attempt at figuring out who these glasses actually belong to, this one involving a little bit more effort.

Why do I even care?

Well, I know what would happen if I didn’t have my glasses. My own prescription is fairly strong a recent party saw attendees passing around my prescription sunglasses, amazed that anyone could see anything out of them. So if my glasses

DEVIN WILGER

Thinking I do with words... found themselves in someone’s driveway, I would not get very far.

This person didn’t have quite the same degree of vision correction, but still, you’re not going to get that far without them.

This is especially true if you’re driving anywhere. Get in a collision and, if you’re a glasses

wearer, that’s the first question asked. This is even true if you’re not the one at fault, and somehow is even true if you weren’t in the car at the time, such as a few years ago when my parked car was hit one winter morning.

Someone out there could be facing some

serious insurance liability since they don’t have their glasses anymore.

I’m honestly impressed they’ve gone this long without them.

Glasses don’t have an especially fast turnaround, because lenses all have to be custom made to fit your eyes.

They probably have a new pair by now, but they’ve had a long time of being blind. Plus, glasses aren’t exactly cheap, so they probably had to pay a decent amount for those replacements. I’m not throwing glasses money around without putting in some serious thought about it.

I also don’t know how they found themselves at

the end of my driveway.

Did someone throw them out of a moving car? Were they stolen by an aggressive bird? How on earth did they go from someone’s face to my driveway? It is a complete mystery, even if it’s one that will wind up being extremely mundane at the end, if there’s a story at all. I won’t judge you, this misadventure is between you and the asphalt where your glasses were found.

If these happen to be your glasses, they will now be in the Yorkton This Week office on 3rd Ave. If they’re yours, pick them up. If they’re not, why would you even want them?

Nehring liking hockey in Germany

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Chad Nehring was so close to a regular season taste of the National Hockey League.

The Springside native and former Junior A Yorkton Terrier had his best pro season in 201516 with Hartford when he led the team in regular season scoring with 22-goals and 26-assists for 48-points.

Nehring, then in the Ottawa Senators’ system, got into a couple of preseason games with the Sens, indicating a regular season shot would be forthcoming.

Nehring said playing with the Sens against Toronto, his long-time favourite team, even in a pre-season game was amazing. He was jawing with Nazem Kadri of the Leafs when, according to Nehring, Kadri looked over and “he was like who are you.”

Nehring’s second game was in Winnipeg.

“The family brought a 15-passenger van,” said Nehring.

Nehring said he knew he was close to the big step.

“When I look back on my career, that was kind of my NHL dream,” he said.

Then he got hit in the minors. Nehring’s shoulder was separated.

He had whiplash and a concussion. He was out for weeks.

When he returned, to Binghampton for the 2016-17 season, he was hurt again and his season was limited to 50-games with five goals and only 18 points.

The NHL call never came.

“It was one of those years I probably would have got a sniff,” he told Yorkton This Week.

But the injuryplagued season left Nehring weighing his options regarding his career.

Since playing in Yorkton (his Junior career with the local Terriers wrapped up in the spring of 2007), Nehring has been a traveling man. He spent four years at Lake Superior State University, then turned pro with the East Coast Hockey League’s Idaho Steelheads, spending two years in Boise. Stops with the Arizona Sundogs (CHL), Greenville Road Warriors (ESHL), Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League, and the Binghamton Senators (also AHL) followed.

Nehring said there were AHL teams interested in his services for the 2017-18 season, but agent Derek McCann was talking to Nehring, noting “Nehring is a very German name,” recalled the former Terrier.

After some investigation and a talk to his father, it was indeed the case where Nehring’s grandfather had immigrated to Canada from Germany decades ago. It was a connection which opened a new door in terms of hockey.

Nehring’s ancestry allowed him to apply for, and receive, a German passport, a near golden ticket in terms of playing

hockey in the European country.

The pro league in Germany has a limit in terms of import players (nine) explained Nehring. If a player has a German passport he plays as a German, outside the quota which is scheduled to shrink to seven players.

So, last fall, Nehring, now 31, was on the move again, this time heading across the Atlantic Ocean to play in Germany with the Fischtown Penguins.

The Penguins are based in Bremerhaven and play in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga, the premier hockey league in Germany. The city is important as a seaport and has a population of about 115,000.

The decision was one Nehring said ultimately intrigued him the most.

“I was 30-years-old.

This was way too hard to pass up,” he said.

Nehring said the passport makes him eligible for the

I still have the dream,.

It’s about a career now ...to play at the highest level — Chad Nehring, former Yorkton Terrier German national team to play in the World Championships or even in the next Olympics.

“I could fit into that mix,” he said with a grin, adding of course he will have to put together some good seasons with the Penguins.

Nehring’s first season was not his best, with injuries taking their toll, limiting his season to only 36 of the team’s 52 regular season games, scoring seven-goals, and adding 20-assists.

But, when healthy, Nehring was on the team’s top line alongside Jan Urbas from Slovenia and Ontario’s Kris Newberry. Newberry,

also in his first season in Germany, has been a pro since 2003, including 76 National Hockey League games. Urbas has played on Slovenia’s national team.

“I’m pegged as a skill player,” said Nehring, thanks to the team-leading season in Hartford, adding he still sees himself more as a face-off man, and checker.

Overall, the experience was a great one, said Nehring.

“I loved it. I played really well,” he said, at least when he played.

The German League is not quite the quality of the Kontinental Hockey League based in Russia

and the pro league in Switzerland, suggested Nehring, but he said it rivals the top leagues in Sweden and Finland.

“We’d have nice games against AHL (American Hockey League) teams, at least the top (German) teams,” he said.

Nehring said the Penguins are not a big money team in the 16-team league, but they made the playoffs, losing to eventual champion Munich, with Nehring out of the line-up.

The injury and quick playoff exit, did get Nehring back to his off season home in Las Vegas in time to follow the playoff run of the first year Golden Knights, many of the games up to the Stanley Cup final from seats in the stands.

“I went to every Vegas playoff game,” he said with a smile, adding it was a big thrill to watch the Washington Capitals and, in particular, favourite player

Alexander Ovechkin win the Stanley Cup. Nehring said the atmosphere around the Golden Knights was great, especially once the team started rolling in the regular season.

“It was out of control,” he said. “The buzz right away was amazing.”

Nehring is headed back to Germany this week to attend training camp.

“I still have the dream,” he said, adding the dream is just a bit different now. “It’s about a career now.”

Now he simply wants “to play at the highest level” for as long as his body allows – hopefully another five-to-seven years.

And Germany is a good league with good fans.

“The fans are so good, but you’ve got to get it done. You’ve got to win,” said Nehring, adding that is what players want, too.

Lacrosse expansion speculation Wednesday, August 8, 2018 | www.YorktonThisWeek.com | Yorkton This Week

Let the speculation begin.

Since taking the helm, National Lacrosse League Commissioner Nick Sakiewicz has been quite public that the loop needs to grow beyond its nine teams.

Initially, Sakiewicz suggested 16-18 teams when talking about growth, but has since hinted at as many as 30, although the latter number has to be a dream set far into the future.

True to his vision, Sakiewicz has brought Philadelphia and San Diego into the fold, with the two franchises set to hit the floor in December at the start of the 2018-19 season.

And now a report is out in the lacrosse community suggesting the league has signed up three new expansion franchises, the exact cities involved being released later this year. The additions would take the NLL to 14 teams.

The story also suggested Sakiewicz has said that after the league reaches 14, it would only add one further team until 2022.

The suggestion of the league stopping at 15 teams until 2022 is a surprise to me. I expected 16 was sort of baseline target and I would have expected the expansion ‘rest’ period to come after hitting that mark.

It has been suggested in various leagues that 16 is the minimum where a professional league gains a level of legitimacy in terms of attracting television and sponsorship deals. It is, for example, the number the Major League Lacrosse (the field league) Commissioner Alexander ‘Sandy’ Brown has mentioned since assuming the helm of that league earlier this year.

As for Sakiewicz’s bold prediction of 30 teams, I doubt it will happen in my lifetime. A more reasonable expectation might be 24 teams, but it will be years before that is reasonably achievable.

But what of the three mystery teams that will be

CALVIN DANIELS

Sports announced to join the likes of our Saskatchewan Rush sometime in the not so distant future?

There has been speculation Edmonton wants back into the NLL after losing the Rush in an arena dispute. It would be great in terms of rivalry with the departed Rush and the Calgary Roughnecks, but unless they are team 15, I doubt they are in at this juncture.

From the chatter on a user group or two I frequent my two cents are on Dallas, Long Island/New York, and Halifax.

The more difficult question is who might be 15 or 16 if the rumours are off a bit and the Commissioner moves to hit his initial target?

I think the NLL wants Nashville and, in particular, the Predators ownership group pretty bad. The Preds have built a rabid fan base for hockey in a somewhat non-traditional market, a market without the added competition of a National Basketball Association team, so it looks like a great fit. Sakiewicz also likes the idea of NLL owners having NHL/NBA teams as a way to offset some lacrosse costs.

There also has to be some desire with the NLL to build some natural rivalries as it moves forward.

San Diego has a deep-pocketed owner in Joe Tsai,

Adam Kienle makes an approach shot in the championship nine.

so the Seals will be a good beachhead in California for the NLL, but they could use an in-state rival and there are lots of cities that are large enough if a good owner can be found. For example, it was pointed out by someone on the Saskatchewan Rush Fan Club – Unofficial Facebook page the Chase Center Arena in San Francisco for the Golden State Warriors is scheduled to open next year and may need an additional tenant.

If Dallas is in the next trio of expansion teams they will be a lone bastion of the NLL in a very large Texas, and Houston has an NBA team with no NHL competition, and there is also Austin, El Paso and San Antonio, all that would be a natural rival for Dallas.

Then just for the sake of crystal ball gazing, box lacrosse is a natural for a hockey fan to quickly appreciate, so there are a few NHL cities without the clutter of an NBA franchise that might look to the NLL; Pittsburgh, Las Vegas, St. Louis, and the soon to surface Seattle among them.

Montreal and Canadiens ownership would be in that group, and as a founding NLL city years ago, a successful return would be a positive for the league.

If not Montreal, Quebec City seems a possible location as well.

You can make arguments for Hamilton, Ottawa, and Winnipeg in Canada as well.

When you start doing the math, 24 teams is not hard to comprehend on the basis of potential homes and maybe even Sakiewicz’s 30. Certainly, in my books, the NLL is as exciting as any sport and if the Saskatchewan Rush are typical, highly entertaining based not just on the sport, but all they do around a game to engage the fans. Maybe it is indeed the NLL’s time to shine.

Jeremy Taylor would emerge as the overall winner at Sandy Beach.

Taylor foils Kienle domination Another hot day greeted participants Saturday as they headed into play at the fourth annual Sandy Beach (on Good Spirit Lake) Disc Golf Tournament.

After two rounds on the Sandy Beach nine, the Kienle family was clearly in control of what is essentially their home course.

Mark Kienle of Wadena captured the Closest to the Pin prize from Access Communication, while brother Paul Kienle, from Kuroki had the Yorkton Terriers Longest Drive Award. Kristen Schmidt took both awards on the women’s side.

Jason Kienle was also drawn for the Fountain Tire Tire Toss, but missed on his three attempts.

The Kienle’s also dominated in the score cards through 18, with Mark and Adam Kienle at par 58, Aaron Kienle of Yorkton at minus one.

Only Saskatoon’s Jeremy Taylor kept it from an all Kienle final four, making the cut with a plus-two 60.

The championship nine saw the field shift, with Taylor shooting a minus-three to finish the day one under, and secure top spot.

The three Kienle brothers would jostle for position, but end up in a three-way tie after nine, necessitating a playoff for the important second place which carried a berth in the Farrell Agencies Championship Challenge in October, an event bringing the best Parkland Association of Disc Golf finishers from various events over the summer together in

October.

Adam Kienle would earn second after the playoff, finishing his day even, with Aaron and Mark settling for matching plus-ones.

“I’ve made the Sandy beach tourney a priority each year because it’s such a fun and relaxed event,” Taylor said after the event. “This helps in playing well especially when you have such a great group of people to play with. We’ve been playing Sandy Beach for a few years and have adjusted our throws to suit the course so it definitely helps the score and gives an advantage.”

Last year’s winner Duncan Holness missed this year’s event, opting for the Lost Egg Tournament in Alberta.

Taylor said he wished the defending champ had been on hand for the challenge.

“It’s unfortunate that Duncan couldn’t come this year. I always have fun playing against him as well as all the Kienles,” he said.

Not winning in 2017, was at least in the back of Taylor’s mind heading

into the event Saturday.

“I’m competitive in everything I do so I wouldn’t say I was any more hungry than normal,” he said, but then noted, “I’ve been the bridesmaid a few times now so it was nice to get the win.”

So what was the key this year for Taylor?

“My drives were really consistent,” he said. “We started on #7, (a shotgun start), with the mandatory and I was the only

one who didn’t miss in our group. After a sigh of relief everything seemed to roll.

“The one or two times I got in trouble I was able to make a decent next shot to recover.

“By our fourth hole (tonal #1) I was dialed in stringing together a couple birdies. I was able to score minus-five on holes #1, 2# and #3 only missing by an inch on an easy putt for minus-six.”

But headed to the

final nine Taylor still had ground to make-up.

“Out of the final group I was in fourth. I birdied hole #1 and #2 for a good start,” he said. “From there I tried to maintain the round hoping for some luck and on hole #9 I found myself with the outright lead. Mark Kienle tried a tough shot with some bad luck and I got the ‘W’.

“Like always the final round could have gone either way.”

So what will Taylor do now to ready himself for the Farrell Agencies event planned for Melville, with the Yorkton Lions Trophy and a one-of-a-kind winner’s jacket on the line?

“I’ll probably try to get a few more rounds in before the final tourney since I’ve only played three rounds this year,” he said. “I’ll also go play Melville to get a feel for the course.”

Upcoming The PADG tournament run heats up in the coming weeks.

The Springside Credit

Union Cup is set for Saturday, Aug. 25.

Then Sunday, Aug. 26, the Grain Millers Trilogy Challenge takes place at Patrick Park Disc Golf Course. The event is ideal for beginners as entrants get three discs to play with that day, and to take home at the end of the tournament.

The Yorkton event is also the first stop on the Yorkton Co-op Trilogy Tour. Players at the Yorkton event will earn points toward the overall tour prizes.

The second event in the Co-op Tour will be the Co-op Cup at Whitesand Regional Park Sunday, Sept.2.

The final event will by the Sas Kam Sportsman open at Kamsack, Sunday, Sept. 16.

Langenburg wins the SESBL championship

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The SESBL has a new champion. While the Yorkton E&S Yankees won for three years in a row, the Langenburg Legends capped off their own winning season by taking the series in four games, ending the Yankees’ streak.

The first game took place Aug. 1 in Langenburg.

It began with Langenburg getting on the board early with two runs in the second. The Yankees met that offensive by putting three of their own on the board in the third. They maintained that slim lead until the seventh inning.

Langenburg got two runs, which cinched the win for the team, putting them up 1-0 for the series.

Evan Markham got the win for Langenburg, while Jeremy Johnson was tagged with the loss for Yorkton. “Game one was pretty good, they got some timely hits,� said player/coach Mark Jacobs.

The second game, with Langenburg meeting the Yankees in Melville on Aug. 3, was all about Yorkton. From the first inning, where Yorkton got on the board with three, and through the rest of the game, it was a dominant performance for the Yankees. The third inning had another three for the Yankees.

The Langenburg squad did find home twice in the fourth and once in the fifth, but at the same time, the Yankees got four in the fourth and one in the fifth. Yorkton capped off their winning ways with a final four runs in the sixth. The Legends put a pair on the board in the seventh but it was too little, too late, and the final score was 15-5 for Yorkton.

Ross Stilborn got the win for the Yankees, while Dane Kobylko had the loss for Langenburg. “We thought Game two might turn the tide,� said Jacobs.

The series would be decided with a doubleheader on Monday, Aug. 6.

The back-to-back games wound up looking very similar on the scoreboard. Langenburg got runs, while Yorkton did not. In the first game, the Legends got two in the bottom of the first to set the tone for the afternoon

Taking a swing in Langenburg on August 6. The Langenburg Legends would go on to beat the Yankees in the series. of baseball. Pitcher Kelly Cook was tagged with the win as the Legends went on to take the game 5-0.

Logan Calanchie was tagged with the loss.

The second game of the afternoon was much the same as the first, again beginning with two runs for the Legends in the first and again seeing Kelly Cook lead the team to a shutout. The score, however, was different, with the Legends managing more runs the second time around, for a final score of 8-0. “Game three and four they played pretty much perfectly... They shut us down pretty good, hats off to them,� said Jacobs Langenburg has not won a championship since 2002, when the Langenburg Indians took the top prize in the league.

In terms of the Yankees, Jacobs said that while they’re disappointed they didn’t win the championship, they’re proud of what they accomplished this season and over the past decade.

He knew the Legends would be the biggest challenge they would face in the season. Even if the Yankees didn’t win the league this year, they’re still proud of their record. “We’ve won more than we’ve lost over the past 10 years.�

FILIPCHUK - With a tear in our eye, we announce the passing of our dad, Gramps, Dan Filipchuk, at the fantastic age of 92 plus years.

Dan was born on November 5, 1925, one of nine children to Wasyl and Pauline (nee Kozmech) Filipchuk of the Hamton District. Dan was raised on the farm and completed grade VII at Mennofeldt School when he was needed to help on the farm. During this time Dan received his journeyman in mechanics through correspondence, which was a great career move to assist him with his future farming operations. In the early years, Dan ventured out to Alberta with Mechanic Certificate in hand but soon found it tough to find work. Dan married Gloria Andrusiak on October 21, 1950 and eventually moved to the farm across the road from Dan’s family farm. Dan and family moved to Yorkton in 1961, he continued to grain farm and work construction at Logan Stevens in the winter months. Dan was a faithful member of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and a dedicated volunteer of the Orthodox Auditorium. In Dan’s younger years, he loved to play ball as a back catcher with the Kozmech uncles and attend many sport’s day events. He also loved to dance and it was not uncommon for him to go three nights a week, Dan would hitch up the horses or ride a bicycle, pick up his friends and away they would go. Dan and Gloria loved to play cards with their friends until all hours of the evening and night. They enjoyed travelling to the west to visit family and friends, to Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Alaska and Chile to visit the in-laws.

Dan loved to plant a garden and reap the benefits. He was a strong advocate of health and wellness as he loved his “veggies” and walked every evening until his illness took over. Dan’s greatest and most memorable moments were the many opportunities he had to spend and support his grandson Sebastian. Dan looked forward to Sebastian coming to the farm to ride on the tractor and combine and haul grain with the hired men. Dan loved taking Sebastian for rides around the farm implements shops looking for a two seater combine. Dan also enjoyed the time Sebastian would join him and his coffee buddies at the mall. Dan attended many of Sebastian events at school, piano recitals, football games, junior Ukrainian dance and performances with Yevshan. Dan will always be remembered by his kind and soft demeanor, sense of humour and in his early years his “schebnik” ways. Dan was predeceased by his wife of almost 61 years, Gloria (Andrusiak), parents, Wasyl and Pauline Filipchuk, three sisters; Lena Repay, Ann Libicz, Edith Filipchuk at infancy, brothers; John, Ernie and Bill, brother-in-law Metro Repay, niece; Brenda Lee Kercher, nephew Eugene at infancy. Dan leaves to cherish his memory and celebrate his life, daughter Charlotte (Francisco) Gardulski, grandson, Sebastian Gardulski, step grandsons; Tomas (Beth) Herperger, their daughters Aura, Kenzie and Addison, Ben (Alyna) Gardulski. Two sisters Mary (Arbey) Kercher, Susan Philipchuk, sister-in-law; Eleanor Philipchuk and brotherin-law; Marsh Libicz. As well as many nieces and nephew. Prayers were held on Wednesday, August 1, 2018 and the Funeral Service on Thursday, August 2, 2018 at Holy Transfiguration Ukrainian Orthodox in Yorkton with Rev. Fr. Brent Kuzyk officiating. The responses were led by Jason Kopan (Prayers) and Edith Yellowaga and Roblin Choir members (Funeral). The cross bearer was Sebastian Gardulski and the banner bearers were Brenda Bird and Elmer Repay. The interment followed in the Garden of Gethsemane at Yorkton Memorial Gardens with Kerry Perepeluk, Dustin Perepeluk, Garret Perepeluk, Dave Dubnyk, Lenard Krepakevich and Gary Bird serving as the casket bearers.

WOTHERSPOON - Evelyn Mary (nee Thompson) Wotherspoon passed away peacefully on July 21, 2018 at the Pasqua Hospital in Regina. She was 81 years of age.

Evelyn was born on the family farm to Arthur and Katie (nee Morris) Thompson. She grew up in the Bangor area of Saskatchewan and she would want the coordinates noted as she loved seeing the confused look on people’s face when asked where she was born. The coordinates are: Section 19, Township 22, Range 2 West of the 2nd Meridian. She was proud of those coordinates as that is where she spent many years helping with the farm chores, raising and playing with her farm animals (especially her horse, Ruby) and enjoying many hours outside. Evelyn was first taught at home on the farm by her mother and then started school in grade two at the one room Llewelyn School. She would tell stories about getting to school either on horseback, driving the horse drawn cart in the summer, or hooking up the sleigh and horse in the coldest of winters. She spoke about her time on the farm and her time at Llewelyn School with great fondness. She completed grade 10 at Llewelyn and then continued school at the Yorkton Collegiate Institute where she graduated with her grade 12. After her graduation in Yorkton, Evelyn took her very first job as a telephone operator with SaskTel in Regina where she worked many years. Evelyn worked other jobs later in her life, some including; Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, Yorkton Airport and finally retiring from Superstore in Yorkton. Evelyn was an avid gardener, loved visiting with family and friends, loved to curl in her younger days and took every advantage to watch it on television. She loved to complete her photo albums, had an interest in family history, play cribbage and complete crossword puzzles. She was a season ticket holder of the Yorkton Terriers and attended every home game if possible. She loved to take scenic drives. But much to the dismay of both of her daughters, a “scenic drive” often meant touring old cemeteries. The drives also gave her an opportunity to check on crops and weather to compare year to year in her diaries.

Evelyn was predeceased by her parents, Arthur and Katie Thompson; her husband, Stanley Wotherspoon and her son, Russel Thompson. She leaves to celebrate her life, two daughters; Michelle Wotherspoon of Red Deer, AB and Lynette Wotherspoon of Regina, SK; her sisters, Gwen (Lawrence) Munson and Edna (Stan) Fowke. Lynette and Michelle ask that Evelyn’s remaining family and friends celebrate her life and not mourn her passing as Evelyn lived a rich positive life. A celebration of Evelyn’s life was held August 2, 2018 from St. Andrew’s United Church in Yorkton with Reverend Catherine Pace officiating. The organist, Shani Apland, led the congregation in the singing of “Amazing Grace” and “Abide With Me”. Her cremated remains were interred in the Llewelyn Cemetery.

So many things have happened, Since you were called away, So many things to share with you, Had you been left to stay, Every day in some small way, Memories of you come our way, Though absent, you are ever near, Still missed, loved, and always dear.

The first brush strokes The teens at the Yorkton Public Library’s Teen Paint Nite were charged with painting a sunset, and every painting starts with a brush stroke.

Calei Warkentin and Halle Wilkinson paint the yellow on their sunsets at the event. Through making art, the young painters learned painting techniques, and advice for getting their artwork to look exactly how they want it to.
