Producing produce You can’t get much more fresh than straight out of the garden, and the Yorkton Gardeners’ Market exists to get local produce from the city’s gardeners to its hungry residents. Pictured, Glen Tymiak sells some produce at the market. It runs every Saturday until the end of September, starting at 9:00 a.m. behind the Prairie Harvest Christian Life Centre on Melrose Ave., though the produce tends to fly off the tables and disappear early.

Fencing in the CN tracks By Sean Mott Staff Writer Skateboarders and pedestrians who want to cross the train tracks might have to walk around them in the near
future. The Yorkton Business Improvement District (YBID) is looking to build a chainlink fence running along the train tracks near the skate park. The fence would start at Broadway Street
and extend down to Independent Street. “It’s a fair stretch of chainlink fence,” said Phil Devos, YBID Executive Director. YBID started the project two years ago when they heard complaints
from Yorktonites and railroad operators that people at the skate park had a tendency to “play chicken” with oncoming trains. Engineers are forced to slam their brakes when they see people on the tracks,
which brings the trains to a halt in the middle of Broadway Street, clogging up vehicle and foot traffic. “That causes a lot of people a lot of inconvenience,” Devos said. YBID brainstormed a
possible solution to the problem and they settled on a fence. There won’t be direct access from the skate park to the tracks; people will have to walk around it. The hope is the

Cardinals need financial boost By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The future of the Yorkton Cardinal baseball team is up in the air. The Cardinals’ season in the Western Major Baseball League has just completed,
with the team in last place in their division, and out of the playoffs, and now questions swirl about whether the team will be in the city by the time the 2019 season begins. One rumour surfacing on social media was a potential move for the team to Warman.
“I don’t know if they’re moving to Warman,” said former player Derek Marshall, but he added financially “it has not been good the last couple of years. They’re hurting for money right now.” That reality was confirmed by Darryl Rock president of
the Cardinals. Rock said the rumor of a move is at this point just that, a rumour. “But, it’s no secret we are certainly in dire need of some financial injection to make it viable,” he said. Rock said two seasons ago
the Cardinals made a modest profit, then lost money in 2017. While the final numbers for 2018 are not in, the likelihood is more red ink. The situation is not unique to the Cardinals. The rival

Ogunbiyi wins gold against Canada’s best By Devin Wilger Staff Writer He’s the fastest young man in Canada, because he blitzed the field at the Canadian National Legion Youth Track and Field Championships in Brandon, Manitoba. Dami Ogunbiyi, who competes in the U18 category, ran the 100m dash with a time of 10.71 in the finals on August 10. In second place was Nick Beaulieu from the Nova Scotia/ Nunavut team, with a time of 10.82, and in third

was Joakim Généreux of Quebec with a time of 10.84. A student at Sacred Heart High School, entering Grade 12, the 17 year old said he went into the race feeling really good, after a year of hard work. “I warmed up, stayed focused, and my body was feeling really good. I went through my heats and I had a really good time and was happy with it. For the final, I was sitting in third place, and I had to give it everything
that I had.” On the blocks before the final, Ogunbiyi said that while his fellow runners had surprised him with good times, and he took their race seriously, he stayed relaxed and focused on his plan, to get a good start and use his top end speed to separate himself from the crowd. “I had a plan going into the race and I just had to execute it.” The time in the final of 10.71 was a personal best for Ogunbiyi.

That race was won by Joakim Généreux of Quebec with a time of 22.28. “It happens, you can’t win them all.

he works hard to improve his times and become a better runner. “It’s really, really, really motivating, and it’s humbling that so many people are following me and so many people are cheering for me from home. It’s really important because it keeps me going, that’s for sure.” Ogunbiyi’s goal right now is to take a break, start preparing for the indoor season and, hopefully, get on the Canadian team for the Pan Am Games in 2019.

CARDINALS Continued from Page A1
Melville Millionaires are deep in the red too. Darren Wandy, president of the Millionaires said they have two issues to deal with, old debt, and the money to play in 2019. As it stands, heading into the 2018 season the Millionaires were roughly $75,000 in debt, “before the first pitch was thrown,” he said. Some of the debt is growing old. “League fees haven’t been paid since 2015,” said Wandy, who added he believes the team has an obligation “to pay back past debt.” As for 2018, the numbers ae not all in, but it is not likely the team made money, said Wandy. Looking ahead to 2019, the Millionaires need to fundraise for a budget of $100-$120,000, said Wandy, adding that is at the low end of what teams in the WMBL spend in a season. League president Kevin Kvame said it was too early to suggest any team is moving within the WMBL, considering the league is still in the midst of its playoffs. Both Rock and Wandy said they are planning meetings after the playoffs to put together plans which will focus on finding new dollars, and garnering more community involvement in terms of both volunteers and fans. “The culture has to change. If baseball is important then people have to support it,” said Wandy. Marshall said the team’s board of directors has not met since the season wound up at the end of July, but they will have
some difficult decisions to make when they do. Marshall said the situation is not just Yorkton. “I know for sure Melville and Yorkton are struggling pretty hard,” he said. Kvame said being a smaller city has meant struggling for both teams. “They (Yorkton and Melville), just don’t get the support from the community other teams do,” he said. At the core of the problems in both Yorkton and Melville is getting people involved in helping run the operations of the team. “The lack of volunteers is one of the biggest downfalls of the Cardinals,” offered Rock. “There’s only a very small group of loyal volunteers, of committed volunteers.” It’s the same thing in Melville. “We need 20-25 volunteers. We had seven” said Wandy. The biggest problem is a lack of fans, at least in Marshall’s eyes. He said while there is a small dedicated core, there are simply not enough people buying tickets to pay the bills. Admittedly it hasn’t helped of late that the Cardinals have scuffled on the field, winning only 24 games in the past two seasons, and missing the playoffs. “Obviously fans like to come out and see a team win,” said Marshall, but he added when he was on the team in 2016 “we were very successful, but there weren’t as big a crowds as there should have been.” Marshall said the community has to step up
if the Cardinals are to remain viable in the city. “We looking for people interested in being involved in the team,” offered Marshall, adding that means more than as fans, but people willing to help promote the team, secure more sponsors and help stabilize the team. In Marshall’s own case he said he knows he has to get involved. “Now that I’m not playing it’s the right time to do it,” he said. Kvame said all teams in the WMBL have to make sure they have a plan, one that looks at immediate needs and longer term goals, and it needs the municipal government and community involved. As an example he said is a goal “more comfortable seating for fans
to come out and enjoy games?” he asked. Rock said the City of Yorkton, who owns the field they rent, certainly needs to be part of planning for the franchise’s future. Rock said many community-owned franchises in the WMBL don’t pay field rentals. “Yet we pay our full shot,” he said. The rental on the field is $170 per game, with an additional charge of $85 when the lights are turned on, as listed at www.yorkton.ca And in the offseason a team needs to recruit well, said Kvame. “You need to put the right pieces together to put a competitive team on the field,” he said. Rock said recruitment for the Cardinals looked good before the start of the current campaign. But 14 players “recruited to come” even-
tually didn’t because their college coach shut them down based on innings played, or players suffered late college season injuries leaving them recuperating over the summer, he said. As an example, Rock said, “we had three pitchers, all starting pitchers that were big time pitchers, two were shut down by coaches because of the numbers of innings they had pitched, and a third got hurt.” Moving forward as a league Kvame said that is something they will be focusing on, making sure teams have plans in place to ensure they are viable in their communities. The league president said a team like the Cardinals puts Yorkton at the forefront across North America via the league, which has value to a community, but
added “the team also has to be a viable member of the community.” Rock said anecdotally it is estimated the Cardinals generate at $500,000 per season in terms of the Yorkton economy, through visiting teams staying in hotels, billet fees, jersey purchases, parents visiting etc; “which is a pretty good chunk of change,” he said. Wandy said they have pegged economic impact by the Millionaires in Melville at $250-$500,000 annually. For the WMBL moving forward Wandy said both Melville and Yorkton are important, noting the rivalry helps both teams, and the two franchises help Weyburn, Moose Jaw and Swift Current stay viable in Saskatchewan. Lose a team and it could begin a domino effect down the line.
FENCING Continued from Page A1
fence will be enough of an obstacle to discourage any rash decisions to jump onto the tracks. “It’s a safety issue,” Devos said. “It’s 100 per cent about keeping kids from stopping trains or
somebody really getting hurt.” YBID parntered with CN Railway and the City of Yorkton for the project. The City and the rail company are currently hashing out a maintenance agreement regarding who will tend to the grass near the fence. According to Mayor Bob
Maloney, once an agreement is reached, tenders will be sent out to build the fence. Once the fence is in place, Devos hopes to transform it from cold steel to an art installation. YBID is considering allowing people to decorate the fence
“As you’re walking along the sidewalk, you can look at people who’ve done their Picasso or what have you,” he said. “That would be phase two. “Right now phase one is [about getting]...that fence put in and [taking] it from there.”
Devos would like to see the fence completed this year, although he understands everyone has a lot on their plates these days. “Rome wasn’t built in a day,” he said. “Fences aren’t built in a day. “It will get done.”

Politics This very hot summer seems a good time to discuss moderation in politics. Like the weather, our politics has also become overheated. This is not to say that politicians shouldn’t have strong values and beliefs because the formula for success is never about standing for nothing. Lest there be any doubt of this, consider the wheel spinning we are now seeing in the Justin Trudeau-led federal Liberal government. But, ironically, what’s lacking in the Trudeau government is pretty much the same thing troubling conservative-minded federal and provincial parties and the provincial and federal NDP right now. It isn’t just that the right has gone too far to the right or the left has moved too far to the left. This may be the reality, but that’s just a symptom of forgetting the fundamental need for wisdom, reason and balance and thinking they can win by exclusively appealing to their own base. At the end of the day, it’s simply a matter of politicians understanding the value of moderation. You may have your own ideology, but you are elected to address the needs of the people that elected you. Let us consider this is practical terms, beginning with the Saskatchewan NDP and its leader Ryan Meili. Recently, crackerjack young reporters Alex MacPherson of the Saskatoon StarPhoenix and David Fraser of the Regina Leader-Post did an excellent analysis of why Meili seems to be getting so little traction. Their piece notes Meili’s emphasis on issues of interest to him but, seemingly, of less interest to voters at large. “With a few exceptions such as the Global Transportation Hub boondoggle, the NDP has adopted a scattershot approach, dropping one issue for another rather than banging the same drum long enough for people to notice,” the reporters noted. “Rather than bringing up standard political hot potatoes like health, education and the economy, Meili and his caucus have concentrated on niche issues that, while not insignificant, aren’t big problems for the Saskatchewan Party government.” While domestic violence, the opioid crisis and environmental concerns are all important issues, MacPherson and Fraser rightly noted they “don’t resonate well in rural areas and small urban centres, which is exactly where the NDP needs to win votes to have a chance of winning — or even making gains — in the 2020 general election.” Issues of gender and equality may meet the approval of the younger urban base of the federal and provincial NDP. However, they won’t provide a moderate balance that will entice broad-base support from people concerned about the debt and deficits, jobs, health care and the economy. That said, it might very well be a reaction to conservatives, who seem to be taking their cue from U.S. President Donald Trump, ideologues on social media or right-wing talk radio where people love hearing themselves and only themselves. The result of this is conservatives hammering away on issues like the so-called refugee crisis that doesn’t seem to be all that much of a crisis. Whether it’s former prime minister Stephen Harper’s freelancing on the U.S. tariff issue or conservatives unwillingness to stand with the federal government on Saudi Arabia’s human rights response, conservatives are opting for easy criticisms of Trudeau and forgetting their responsibilities to their own voters. Even here in Saskatchewan we see a conservative-minded Scott Moe government potentially headed for trouble because it’s spending disproportional time on easy issues like the carbon tax and Trans Mountain pipeline. With debt, dwindling jobs and a lack of services are there no other pressing concerns in Saskatchewan? The easy path is seldom the right one. Doug Ford will not solve Ontario’s high power bills and massive debt with a buck-a-beer policy. We need to see a return to balance — to reasoned, intelligent moderation that voters really want.

Community must step up for sports R
esidents of Yorkton and Area have some decisions to make in regards to just what they want in the city in terms of entertainment in the years ahead. In the last few months we have seen two sport franchises, and one major sporting event face some serious issues which, in the short term, brings into question the future for two, and, in the longer term, how to right the ship before the third is also in serious trouble. Conditions surrounding the area of the Yorkton Municipal Airport deteriorated to the point the drag races, which were scheduled to be held this past Sunday, were cancelled. To see the popular races return in 2019 and beyond will require money and cooperation between the City of Yorkton, who operate the airport, and the Kambusters Drag Racing Association, the volunteer-based organization who have run the annual races. The public can play a role in the future of the races by letting Yorkton Council know whether you are in favour of an expenditure by the City to make the site race worthy. Kambusters can always use more volunteers to make the races a success. The Yorkton Cardinals find themselves carrying a significant debt load which the organization will need to address in the coming months to be viable for 2019. The situation is not unique to Yorkton, with the rival Melville Millionaires facing a similar situation. Locally, if we are to have the highest quality baseball available in Saskatchewan and Alberta as part of
Yorkton’s summer entertainment mix, then the Cardinals will require more sponsorship, more fan support, and more help to make it all happen. That means people who love baseball, or simply recognize the WMBL brings both economic activity and support for baseball in our community, have to step up to the plate and frankly save the franchise. Without such support in the coming months, there is a very real possibility the team could move to another community or simply fold. And then there are our Yorkton Terriers. While not in dire financial shape, they have seen a number of years were the team lost money or have made only the most modest of profits. Costs to operate any sports franchise, the Terriers and Cardinals among them, climb, as fuel, hotels, equipment, and the like go up as the price of such items continue to rise. So the Terriers too need to see community support strengthen to help the team reduce debt and operate in the black. It truly is up to Yorkton as a community whether these teams and events are part of our community long term. Do we want to enjoy the WMBL in the summer? The drag race weekend? The SJHL Terriers? In the coming months we will find out just what the broader community has decided in response to such questions as the fate of the three becomes clearer moving forward.

History Corner Waiting for my Dad
Irma Van De Bon-Nicol with the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization receives a proclamation from Mayor Bob Maloney.
Big month ahead for local goup By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yorkton Council declared September as Big Brothers Big Sisters Month in the city. The decision was a unanimous one by Council at its regular meeting Aug. 7. “Big Brothers Big Sisters offers a variety of mentoring programs that respond to community needs. Big Brothers Big Sisters has formalized the mentor process, offering the best possible services by providing mentors for children and youth who need a significant, caring adult in their lives,” explained a letter circulated to Council regarding the request from Big Brothers Big Sisters of Yorkton and Area. “Big Brothers Big Sisters is proven to improve children’s odds for succeeding in school, behaving non-violently, increased self-esteem [and] self-worth, healthier lifestyles, evidence of higher incomes, avoiding drugs and alcohol, and breaking other negative cycles.” The local organization currently serves more
than 250 children annually through mentoring relationships in the communities of Yorkton, Melville, Churchbridge, Esterhazy, Langenburg and Rocanville. There are still many children on the waiting list for a mentor. In September the organization has several activities and events planned to celebrate mentoring and expand their mentoring programs. Recruitment of volunteers is their focus so they can match many of the children on the waiting list. In-school mentoring begins again in September, giving children an additional support in school, a friend and mentor who can encourage them to stay in school and do their best. “Big Brothers Big Sisters of Yorkton and Area is all about friends and making a difference in a child’s life. We look forward to talking to you further about mentoring and the difference it makes in not only the child’s life but in the community as a whole,” detailed the circulated letter.
Photo: Colleen and her father Sydney Large. On the left, her brother Harley, a dentist in Yorkton for many years, starting in the 1950s. It was about 1936 when I was six years old. Our family lived in rural Springside and it was the dirty thirties during the drought. My dad was unhappy as it never rained and it was ruining his crops. Even at that young age I understood the importance of rain! My dad would be out working in the fields with his tractor and I waited at home for him. He was protective of me. He would hold me on his lap to protect me when my mother was mad at me. I remember that. I went out sometimes when I thought it was time for him to come home. And I knew he might have something for me to eat. He usually kept a couple things in his pocket for me. One day I went out to wait for him sitting on the road on the prairie. It was fine-grained dirt, black or grayish, in colour. I let it fall through my hands. I started putting it on my skin. Gradually I covered my arms and face with this fine dirt. My father didn’t come for a while. I guess he was still working, trying his best. I knew he was quite sad about it because there was no rain. I was just a little kid but I knew that he was sad that his family was suffering for the lack of rain. Soon, I heard the sound of his tractor, and I knew he was coming home. Plug-plug-plug-plug-plug-plug. He picked me up and shook some of the dirt off me, and took me in the house, where my mother was waiting for him, too. Later on, I could hear the raindrops falling in the night on the roof in my room on the
second floor. It was amazing how heavily it was raining. It was flooding everything, a real prairie storm during the night! A prairie storm has lots of noise, too, and it was crashing and banging with thunder and lightning and that was what my Dad had so wanted! I went and looked out the window at the rain and I saw my Dad out there, walking around in the rain, just letting it wet his body. It hadn’t rained all summer, and we didn’t have the weather channel to tell us when it would rain again. My Dad just walked around out there, soaking in the rain. He walked toward the house and he started dancing around. I could hardly believe my eyes. I remember being a little embarrassed at first, to see my Dad doing something so unusual, so impossible. Holy Nellie! I could not even look. It was my Dad, acting crazy. He came in the house dripping wet, soaked, but he was happy, he was thrilled. Mother and Dad were laughing and kissing about it. I think they even got the hired man up and brought him into it. It gives you a thrill to see your mother and dad happy. Article written by Colleen Large of Sydney, B.C.

Scoops searching for storage space By Sean Mott Staff Writer If Nicole Roy gets stuck on the wrong side of the tracks at the wrong time of day, she could literally lose gallons of her business. It’s a risky situation that’s forced her to find a better storage space for her products. Roy, the owner of the popular ice cream shop Scoops, relies on freezer space to house her product. Her store, located on the corner of Broadway Street and Myrtle Avenue, only has enough room for a limited amount of ice cream. Roy keeps the majority of her flavours outisde of the Scoops building. “Ninety per cent of my ice cream has to go to offsite storage,” she said. Roy will often drive to the storage site to pick up more product. During peak hours, she’s had to rush out and grab more containers while customers file in. Scoops’ increased popularity makes it difficult for the in-store supply to keep up with the demand. “The store’s gotten considerably busier over the years,” Roy said. “[It] is putting pres-

She’s looking for more storage space. sure on our already-strained capacity for product. “We need more space.” Two train tracks rest between Scoops and the offsite storage. Due to the frequent, lengthy, and at time unpredict-
able trains that cut through Yorkton daily, Roy runs the risk of getting stuck behind a 10-minute railway blockage while buckets of ice cream melt in her truck. “If I ever get stuck behind
trains, I could lose my business,” she said. Roy wants her storage space closer to Scoops. She purchased an ATCO trailer (similar to a construction trailer) and plans to wire it like a
freezer. “It’s big enough that I can separate it into three zones,” she said. “I can have dry storage for the containers..., refrigerated storage for the base products..., and freezer storage [for] the completed products.” Roy wanted to plant the trailer behind the Scoops building, losing a few parking spaces in the process. Unfortunately, CP Railway (which owns the lot behind Scoops) declined Scoops’ request for the trailer next to the building. Roy is currently looking for an alternative site close to Scoops that can house the trailer. If she finds a spot, she plans to make the trailer visually appealing. “We don’t want it to be ugly,” she said. Roy is grateful for Scoops’ expansion over the years. She hopes extra trailer space can help her business reach a new level of success. “People...come from all over the place...for ice cream,” she said. “It’s an awesome little business. “I’d like to see it become... bigger [and] better.”

Job Opportunity
Did you know? The Property Standards Bylaw (No. 18/2017) states that the owner or occupant of a property is responsible for maintaining trees and shrubs that overhang or protrude into the alley. Such trees are required to be trimmed to the edge of the alley roadway to a minimum height of four (4) metres. This allows free and clear passage of vehicles through the alley. Why does the City regulate this? The City of Yorkton has not planted any trees or vegetation in alleys, and all trees and vegetation in alleys are deemed owned by the adjacent property owner. The goal is to provide free and clear vehicle traffic through alleys by maintaining alley vegetation.

NDP leader drums up support in Yorkton By Sean Mott Staff Writer If his career in politics doesn’t pan out, Ryan Meili can always apply for the role of Saskatchewanderer. He’s gained invaluable traveling experience as part of a summer tour through Saskatchewan. He’s logged more kilometers across the province this year than most people will travel in double that time. “I feel like a tourist in my own province,” he said. “It’s a big [place].” The Saskatchewan NDP leader has been bouncing around the province ever since the legislative session wrapped up in May. He’s been shaking hands, greeting supporters, and chatting with political officials and everyday people for months. Meili’s trying to make the most of his time away from the legislature before the new session begins in the fall. “I’m really enjoying the chance to get out to all the communities,” he said. “[You] get such a deeper sense of the kind of province we are.”
Meili’s summer tour landed in Melville and Yorkton on Aug. 8. Meili spoke with Mayor Bob Maloney and city council before hosting a meetand-greet barbecue at the city centre park at 5 p.m. Meili weaved through the crowd at the park, introducing himself to Yorktonites and listening to their questions and concerns about the province’s future. He’s spoken with dozens of people in communities around the province and he’s noticed several recurring themes. “There are lots of pretty consistent concerns that we’re hearing in different communities,” he said. A major concern, and one that’s greatly impacted Yorkton, is the reductions to the grants-in-lieu program. The Sask Party chopped the program down in its budget last year. Meili said he wants to find a solution to the program’s reduction while not fully committing to completely revitalizing grants-in-lieu. “I want to have that discussion [on grants-inlieu],” he said. “The right
NDP leader Ryan Meili chatted with Yorktonites at a BBQ on Aug. 8. system that makes sure communities have the funding they need that’s reflective of the services they provide...needs to be put in place.” Meili said he’s also heard complaints about changes to the PST and how it impacts construction contracts. Such contracts are no longer exempt from the PST. “We’ve seen [the construction] industry struggling because of an eco-
nomic slowdown and a PST just adds more of a burden to that industry,” Meili said. “It’s been a really big hit across the province.” Meili thinks towns like Yorkton can secure stable revenues if they receive consistent government financing. “What we need to... deliver to towns like Yorkton is a reliable source of funding so they know year to year [what
to plan for],” he said. Meili, who became NDP leader in March, spent a large part of the last session criticizing the Sask Party’s stubborn resistance to the federal carbon tax. While the government’s gained support from Ontario Premier Doug Ford, Meili still thinks the Sask Party’s refusal to negotiate is the wrong approach. “[The Sask Party doesn’t] have a backup
plan [for the carbon tax] if they’re not successful,” he said. “That’s the issue that concerns me.” While the NDP can point out flaws with the Sask Party until they’re orange in the face, Meili knows criticisms alone won’t snag his party enough votes to win elections down the road. The party needs an appealing platform to attract Saskatchewan voters. “People...are ready for a change,” he said. “That’s the job for me...to really develop a vision that people in Saskatchewan can say, ‘Yup, that’s actually what I’m looking for.’” To that end, Meili believes his tour is crucial to developing a winning vision. By visiting communities across the province, he hopes to craft a platform based on real, face-to-face conversations with Saskatchewanians. “Saskatchewan’s a great big place and everybody has their own specific needs that need to be met,” he said. “I have to be out here to see what’s on people’s minds. “It’s important to me.”
All about owls held at local library By Sean Mott Staff Writer It’s not easy to see an owl in real life. The nocturnal hunters live deep in the shadows of forests and prairies. Unless you like staying up light with night vision goggles, you’ll
probably only see owls in nature preserves or Planet Earth documentaries. Eldon Breitkreuz thinks the owl’s elusiveness makes it so interesting. “They’re kind of mysterious,” he said. “You real-
ly need to see them when you can.” Breitkreuz has been sharing information about owls with children around Saskatchewan this year. He’s the summer program director with the Yellowhead Flyway Birding Trail Association
(YFBTA). “I [learned a lot] about birds to get the job,” he said. Breitkreuz created an owl-centric learning program for kids, which he’s toured across the province. He brought his teachings to the Yorkton Public Library on Aug. 9. He taught a room full of kids about all things owls. “Things they do, their lifestyles, where you can
see them...and just fun facts about them,” he said. The educational program aims to broaden childrens’ minds about wildlife and spark an fascination with nature. “[We] try to get people interested in going to the trails and doing a bit of bird watching,” Breitkreuz said. The burrowing owl is endangered, so Breitkreuz
hopes educational programs can help make people more conscious about protecting at-risk animals. “A lot of animals in the prairie ecosystem are kind of threatened from loss of habitat,” he said. Breitkreuz will tour with the program until the end of August. Further information about it and other events can be found on www.yfbta.com.

More market disruptions in ag In this space it has often been suggested one of the biggest challenges for farmers in terms of making a profit is maneuvering through the varied roadblocks created in the marketplace by government. Of late, the disruptions have generally been the result of the loose cannon American president Donald Trump, but other countries are getting involved in creating barriers largely based on spite rather than because of good science or food safety reasons. For example, a Brazilian judge recently suspended the use of products containing glyphosate, a herbicide widely employed for soybeans and other crops in the country, as well as in countries such as Canada where
most canola is resistant to the herbicide. The federal judge ruled new products containing the chemical could not be registered in the country and existing registrations would be suspended within the next 30 days until the government re-evaluates their toxicity. Glyphosate has been studied extensively since its discovery in 1970 and while there is a general distrust of science growing in the world, it is not likely the Brazilian government is going to discover anything new. The government can still make a ruling that might ban the herbicide, but it would not be one made based on the best science of the day, but rather on suspect interpretation
Agriculture THIS WEEK
Calvin Daniels of the science, if not outright fear of it. The ruling particularly affects Monsanto, which markets a glyphosateresistant, genetically modified type of soybean that is planted on a large scale in Brazil, corresponding in general terms to much of the canola grown in Canada. With canola so reliant of glyphosate usage, the final Brazilian decision, after what will no
doubt be protracted court challenges, could have a ripple effect on canola here in Canada. And then there is the spat happening between Canada and Saudi Arabia, stemming from Canada refusing to back down in its defence of human rights. The record of human rights in Saudi Arabia is a dismal one, a record which would be publicly deplored far more if the country wasn’t sit-
ting on an ocean of oil the rest of the world needs. That reality has most world leaders turning a blind eye to any issue surrounding the Saudis as a way to ensure oil exports flow. “Saudi Arabia has a criminal justice system based on a hardline and literal form of Shari’ah law reflecting a particular statesanctioned interpretation of Islam,” notes Wikipedia. “It is usually carried out publicly by beheading with a sword. A recent report by the European Saudi Organization for Human Rights (ESOHR) shows that the number of beheadings in the kingdom during the first quarter of 2018 rose by over 70 percent compared to the same period last year.”
Haying season
But what are a few beheadings compared to oil flowing? Saudi Arabia has frozen new trade and investment and expelled the Canadian ambassador as part of its retaliatory measures after Ottawa’s call to free arrested Saudi civil society activists. And the trade cuts are hitting agriculture. Saudi Arabia’s main state wheat buying agency has informed grains exporters it will no longer buy Canadian wheat and barley, and it appears forage sales for livestock feed may be impacted too. Again, the free flow of goods based on supply, demand, and price, cornerstones of organized trade, are abandoned for political reasons, which impact farmers here.

With the hot weather last week, it was an excellent time to do some haying operations on area farms, like this individual was doing Saturday near
Gorlitz. Provincially, hay yields are below average this year because of the heat and a lack of moisture in some areas.
Combining season is just starting in Sask. Producers in the province have one per cent of the crop combined and two per cent swathed or ready to straight-cut, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s weekly Crop Report. The fiveyear average for this time of year is one per cent combined. Reported yields so far range from average to well-below average. Fifty-five per cent of the fall rye, 15 per cent of the winter wheat, eight per cent of the field peas and seven per cent of the lentils are now in the bin. One per cent of the canola has been swathed. Harvest is most advanced in the south, where three per cent of the crop is combined. Most producers in the central and northern regions are expecting to be in the field within the next few weeks. There was scattered
rainfall in parts of the province this week, with some storms bringing hail. While the rain was welcomed in some areas, it may be too late to benefit the south, where crops are rapidly drying down. Most crops remain in fair condition, although laterseeded crops need rain to help heads and pods fill. Topsoil moisture con-
ditions have improved slightly with the recent rainfall. Provincial topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are currently rated as 42 per cent adequate, 40 per cent short and 18 per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 32 per cent adequate, 41 per cent short and 27 per cent very short.
Hay yields are below average overall. Estimated average dryland hay yields for the province are: 1.1 tons per acre for alfalfa and alfalfa/bromegrass; 0.9 ton per acre for other tame hay; 1.0 ton per acre for wild hay and 1.6 tons per acre for greenfeed. Estimated average irrigated hay yields are: 2.8 tons per acre for alfalfa; 2.7 tons
per acre for alfalfa/ bromegrass; 2.2 tons per acre for other tame hay; 2.0 tons per acre for wild hay and 3.3 tons per acre for greenfeed. The majority of crop damage this past week is attributed to lack of moisture, strong wind and high temperatures. Some areas, including Cabri and Leader,
received hail that caused severe damage to crops. Producers are busy harvesting, hauling bales and desiccating crops. A complete, printable version of the Crop Report is available online at http://www. saskatchewan.ca/cropreport. Follow the 2018 Crop Report on Twitter at @ SKAgriculture.

Food bank needs to replenish stock By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer It is summer and that means people are busy, and often forget that others need the support of the local food bank all year round. Food donations tend to drop off in the summer, but need doesn’t, said
Lieutenant Samuel Tim of the Yorkton Salvation Army. As a result, shelves at the local food bank are starting to go empty. To help restock the shelves, the Salvation Army Food Bank is teaming up with Yorkton Fire Protective Services and two local

supermarkets (Real Canadian Superstore and Save-On-Foods) to hold a food drive Friday. The local fire department will have fire trucks at both locations with a goal to have them filled with food to help “extinguish hunger,” said Tim. The fire trucks will be on location from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. Friday Aug. 17. “They’re growing. The numbers keep growing, the need,” said Tim. In June the food bank had 153 client families, including 26 on Jun. 14. The number hit 164 in July, said Tim. “We can see the trend is going up,” he said. “The needs are growing.” Tim said they are always in need of certain types of food items, in particular canned meat and fish, canned vegetables and fruits. Tim said it is a case of supplying food which allows clients to make a well-balanced meal. There is also a need for infant formula, cereals, and diapers. In addition to the immediate need for food, Tim said the food bank will be making a general policy change effective
Sept. 1. The change will see the food bank implement an “income threshold amount.” The income threshold amount is the money left over after all household monthly expenses (rent, utilities, cellphone, transportation, daycare etc.) are subtracted from the monthly household income. If, after expenses are deducted from the monthly income, there is less than $100 left over per household member, the household will be eligible for assistance, said Tim. As an example, a
household with three members with a total income of $3000 and expenses of $2600 would have $400 left over and would be ineligible for assistance. A household of two people earning $1200 with expenses of $1100 would have only $100 remaining, and thus be eligible for food. “It’s determining who is eligible for service, who is really in need,” said Tim. It is a situation where the food bank has a finite supply of food and the new process will help ensure “those in need
of our assistance get it,” said Tim. Having the numbers will also allow the food bank to refer clients to other services if it appears they could use some help in doing a better job with their household budgeting, said Tim. “It allows us to focus our resources on people and families who are most in need of our services,” he said. Anyone wanting to donate to the food bank, or if they have questions regarding service, can call 306-783-4650.
“ Why do I hear but not understand? ”
Community Safety Officer installed By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yorkton Council filled two positions focused on community safety at its regular meeting Aug. 7. The first appointment saw Kevin Galbraith installed as Special Constable – Community Safety Officer (CSO). The CSO program was approved by Council for development at the Aug. 8, 2017 regular meeting of Council. Administration has been steadily planning for its implementation since then, detailed material circulated at the meeting. In June, “Administration advised Council that it intended to commence the Community Safety Officer program during the summer of 2018. A public communication plan was developed to advise the public that Community Safety Officers would be on patrol soon,” said Terrence Schneider, Bylaw and Safety Supervisor with the City. That communication will be ongoing through updates and notices on the City website website and social media to keep our residents informed. “By implementing a Community Safety Officer program, the City of Yorkton will have the ability to enforce the Traffic Safety Act, All Terrain Vehicle Act, Snowmobile Act, and other pertinent acts along with City of Yorkton bylaws,” said Schneider.
Galbraith said he has been preparing for his new role, building on his experience in bylaw enforcement in the city for the past 16 years. He spent six weeks in Prince Albert taking training specific to the new position. “It was everything from charter rights to handcuffing people,” he said, adding it was learning what specifically he is responsible for and how to go about those responsibilities correctly. “It was what I can and can’t do.” As this program is in its infancy, the CSO will be easing the community into this new realm with the use of warnings and education, he added. Initial focus will be on reducing speeding in school zones, keeping heavy trucks off nondesignated routes, and ensuring engine retarder brakes are not used within city limits. “The goal is for the CSO to be a positive presence within the City of Yorkton, reassuring the electorate that the safety of our citizens and protection of our infrastructure is taken very seriously,” noted the report. Galbraith said he knows his key focus, at least initially, will be traffic concerns including heavy trucks on Broadway Street (the truck he uses has a portable weigh scale to check weights) and
monitoring traffic speed in school zones. “School zones will be a main focus,” he said. Following a period of warnings and education, ticketing for offences will eventually occur. Revenue from tickets written for violating Provincial Acts will be split between the province and the municipality, 25 per cent and 75 per cent respectively. The CSO will continue to monitor the community for bylaw offences, and with an additional Bylaw Enforcement Officer, the objective is to develop a strong program that supports the safety, health, and welfare of people and the protection of people and property. Implementation of this program was approved through the 2018 Budget. Galbraith served as a Bylaw Enforcement officer with the City of Yorkton for several years prior to receiving credentials to serve as a Special Constable. Council also appointed Jaime Campbell as Bylaw Enforcement Officer. “It was discovered through advertisement for a second CSO position that the pool of trained individuals is sparse,” said Schneider. “Administration opted to hire an individual experienced in similar disciplines for a Bylaw Enforcement Officer. The objective is to have this individual obtain CSO status in the future.”

Local Scouters attend Irish JamboRi By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer For Kent Latimer and his son Ethan it was a trip they will long remember. The father and son duo travelled to Ireland earlier this summer to participate in JamboRí 2018, Scouting Ireland’s national jamboree. From July 25 to Aug. 2 the Yorkton pair were among more than 5,000 Scouts and Venture Scouts from Ireland and overseas taking part in the event held at Stradbally Hall, Co. Laois. “We took a tour first,” said Kent Latimer, adding the
D AN P E I CL SAV
tour and jamboree site was “absolutely beautiful, just gorgeous.” The actual location Stradbally Hall near Portlaoise in the midlands of Ireland, is about an hour south of Dublin, with a history dating back to 1789, said Latimer, who said he met the current resident, asked a question about how old the hall was “and ended up in a 32-minute conversation.” The trip to the Jamboree was not an event initiated by the local Scouting organization but the experience of attending the 2017 Canadian Jamboree in Camp Nedooae, Nova Scotia had Latimer interested. “We went to the Canadian
Jamboree last summer and had a great time,” he said. So when the opportunity to make the trip to Ireland, going with a group from Calgary, they took it. The Latimers were among a very small contingent attending from Saskatchewan, the others travelling from Humboldt. It was a trip well worth the time and effort, said Latimer. “We met a whole lot of different people from different parts of the world,” he said. Latimer said while there were organized activities much of the camaraderie came from good natured joking and practical jokes between camps. “There was lots of good
fun,” he said. And then there is the tradition of trading pins and neckers (scarves). He said he and Ethan would walk to different campsites in the evenings to do trade, with each sub camp having its own necker. “Ethan managed to trade for every one of them,” he said. Latimer said it is interesting to see how popular the Scout movement is in Ireland. In Yorkton the group usually sits around 15. In Ireland groups often exceed 40, with some even having waiting lists, he said. “And 50 per cent were girls,” he noted. “… Scouting in Ireland is just massive per
capita.” But among those at the camp the Canadians attending were treated very well. “The Canadians were the rock stars. We were new and shiny and bright,” said Latimer, adding as they arrived “the kid’s got swarmed by the Irish kids.” He said they wanted to know what it was like in Canada, and from that friendships grew. More trips for local Scouters are planned for 2019, with a few headed to a World Jamboree being held in West Virginia, and a larger contingent going to a Pacific Jamboree on Vancouver Island.

Annual show went well for hort group Thank you to everyone who attended the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society’s “Fruit Flower and Vegetable Show” last week; we were so happy you spent the afternoon with us! The show is the culmination of the year’s best, and we are very happy to show the results to our gardening friends. Thank you for coming! A big bouquet of thanks goes to everyone in the Society who brought entries for the show: it was wonderful and inspiring to see so many beautiful things! And another bouquet of thanks to everyone in the group who helped in so many ways to make the show happen: set up, bringing lunch, serving, working in the kitchen, greeting guests at the door, and taking the whole show down at the end of the day: thank you all! Caution! Handle with care! Wear protective gloves! These are not warning that we usually associate with our garden plants, but there are some that while beautiful, still must be treated with extraspecial care. A dear friend of ours recently had painful-looking burns on his hands and wrists. We were surprised to learn that these were not from an industrial accident but from handling a gas plant. Gas plant? That’s right: in the wonderful and wild world of plants, there is a plant called the gas plant (dictamnus). This plant originally grew in Europe, Asia, and northern Africa, but can be grown here as well. Those adventurous gardeners who have this plant say that it is a beautiful bush, and indeed it probably is. It grows about three feet high, with spikes of pale purple-white flowers. It has a scent that was described to us as “exotic spicy” or like lemon. The plant does seed itself, although this is a lengthy slow-growing process
DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
Gardener’s Notebook that takes years for the small new plants to bloom. It sounds like the plant is fussy about being disturbed or moved in any way. Perhaps this is Mother Nature’s way of protecting us and encouraging us to leave it alone! But… and this is the scary part… the bush is covered in a substance that is flammable! If a spark is near by, the entire bush will literally go up in flames! Hot weather seems to accelerate the production of the flammable substance, a volatile oil. Not only that, but in the case of our friend who was trimming the bush in his garden, the substance that is on the plant and oozes from the cut portion of the stems can cause a painful condition called photodermatitis if it comes in contact with your skin. More homework: what is photodermatitis? It’s like an allergic reaction to the sun, because the sun is what makes the condition flare up and
become itchy and look like a severe burn. Ouch! I know many gardeners like to push the envelope and try new plants; I can’t say that this is one I’d want to try, would you? I like our garden to be a place of peace and tranquility, not scary plants! But if you have one of these plants, please be aware of the possible dangers, and handle it with extreme care! Just a reminder: if you want to go shopping for some locally-grown produce, remember that the Yorkton Gardeners’ Market happens every Saturday from 9:00 a.m. till noon at Melrose and Simpson streets in Yorkton (north parking lot of the Prairie Harvest Christian Life Centre). To register as a seller, email ethelda61@hotmail.com or tymiak.g@sasktel.net or call Glen at (306) 7837040.

The cat that needed someone to get in her face
With the Bean family’s vacation just around the corner, the Preacher and I agreed to care for their sweet, though somewhat reclusive, female cat, Smokey, in their absence. Usually we check in at their house, because Grace (our own feline) has never tolerated other cats. That’s slowly changing, thanks to the friendly tom next door. “Let’s try to keep Smokey at our house this time,” I suggested to Amanda. She agreed. We began with short
visits. The gray cat slipped like a shadow from her crate, eyes wide. “Are her pupils always dilated?” I asked. “A dog attacked her before we got her. She doesn’t see well.” Smokey explored; timid, curious. Grace sulked, growled, then vanished into his basement lair. But he didn’t start a squabble, so after a few more visits, we tried a sleepover. Sad mews roused me around three a.m. – Smokey. But where?

Grabbing my phone, I switched it to flashlight mode and found her cringing in a corner. I tried to pick her up, but she growled and hissed,
so I left her alone. A few threats, but no kitty-violence, punctuated the next day. By ten at night, Grace had retired to his basement cushion. Smokey accepted my cuddle and ear rub, then, as I typed at the kitchen table, she curled up under a chair near me. This may just work, I thought – prematurely, in retrospect. Minutes later, I stood up, startling Smokey. She ejected from under the chair with the speed and squeal of a screaming firecracker. I watched,
astonished, as skidding sideways and yowling, she rounded the corner of the kitchen and disappeared down the hall, where her fit escalated into spinetingling, full-on screams. Unnerved, I called my daughter. “Come for Smokey. She’s traumatized.” Me too, I almost added. Amanda came, but Smokey, still yowling and dashing, refused capture. It took several minutes to corner her. When we did, Amanda brought her face almost to Smokey’s whiskers (not a move I would have made). Finally recognizing the one who loved her best, the little creature calmed down and slipped into her crate. Given her partial blindness, Smokey’s time with us likely outstretched her capability to adjust. Had Amanda not risked facial lacerations and gotten right into her face,

I suspect that kitty may still be skidding and screaming. That little cat mirrors so many of us. Crusty old geezers, children longing for love; frightened, angry youth; seemingly indifferent middle-aged adults adrift in a sea of unfulfilled dreams and spiritually sightchallenged people, silently screaming for rescue and internal peace. We manage our fears and uncertainties the best we can – but sometimes something snaps and what’s inside busts out. That’s when we need someone to get in our faces. A friend willing to risk rejection who will remind us who we are and whose we are. Someone to lead us home. Someone who looks, acts and loves like Jesus Christ, the one who loves us best. Followers of Jesus, that’s us. Prepare to love.

Barbecuing for kids The Boys and Girls Club spends all summer putting programming on for kids, and subsidizing those programs so that kids from all families can enjoy activities for the summer. The day camps, for example, cost $1,500 per child, but parents only have to pay $500. To help pay for
these programs and keep kids active and having fun all summer long, they spent Aug. 3 barbecuing for hungry people outside of Yorkton Co-op, raising $761.62. Pictured are Lorraine Moeller, Erin Roussin, Amanda Ring and Kira Ring.

A torrent of discarded mail on the ground
It’s well known that the City of Yorkton wants more people to recycle. As reported last week in these very pages, they’re running a survey to increase engagement and participation in the curbside recycling program. For example, Yorkton wants you to throw all of your papers into a blue bag so it’s recycled instead of tossed in a landfill, especially since landfills are getting increasingly expensive to expand thanks to provincial regulations. Following the survey, I walked around my neighborhood and noticed there was a very important way that we can increase the amount of recycling engagement while also beautifying the city. There needs to be paper recycling bins at every community mailbox. I’ll go one further and suggest that Canada Post should be required, on a national level, to install a paper recycling bin at every single community mailbox in the country. After all, it was their cost-cutting measures that led to the community mailboxes in the first
place. We used to get unwanted mail right to our door, which meant it was easy to transfer things like shady credit card applications into our big blue bags. Now we get them at the mailbox, and as it turns out, people don’t like carrying mail they don’t want back to their house. I realized this when I went to get the mail and discovered that my own community mailbox was covered in discarded mail, making it look for all the world like set dressing for a post-apocalyptic film. The only thing missing was a newspaper declaring what, exactly, the aliens were after as they destroyed the city. No, it was just flyer day and apparently multiple people on my street are not interested in a great sale on blueberries. Or maybe the aliens invaded in order to get cheap blueberries. It was a disaster, but if you had a recycle bin there it would be better. At least people would have a place to throw the paper instead of just dropping it like a six year old that saw a bug on their sandwich. It’s easy to blame people for not carrying their
DEVIN WILGER
Thinking I do with words... mail home with them. Presumably, when they travelled to the mailbox, they had to assume, on some level, that they are carrying something home with them. If that’s a bundle of letters, a long awaited parcel, or some stuff they don’t want, they’re still probably going to have to take that home. Instead they’re just throwing it around, which is, at a bare minimum, extremely rude, especially to every neighbour who has to wade through their piles of garbage in order to get to their own mail, before apparently not learning their lesson and throwing their own unwanted mail on the ground. We have a problem that extends beyond just Yorkton. Every city with these boxes will have people who just throw their mail around like idiots. We have a solu-
tion, a recycling box of some kind, which will
divert the paper from a landfill and give people a place to toss their unwanted mail. Sure, some people will still somehow miss the bin, but at least most people will still be able to hit it and it’ll be nice for those of us currently carrying home our unwanted mail like human beings capable of the bare minimum of respect for the environment and each other.

But I don’t think it should be the city’s problem. This was Canada Post’s idea and it should be their problem to solve. They need to know they’ve created a tornado of discarded paper. They also need to know that there is an excellent sale on blueberries, if the aliens haven’t bought them all and the store is still standing.

PBR event to highlight Harvest Showdown By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Fans of bull riding will want to be at this year’s Grain Millers Harvest Showdown as the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Canada’s Touring Pro Division (TPD) will be making its inaugural stop in Yorkton. The Yorkton Exhibition is excited to be putting on such a high profile event. The caliber of the PBR will have attendees see some of the best bull riders and the best bulls compete as a part of the two nights at Harvest Showdown” said Ron Hanishewsky – General Manager of the Yorkton Exhibition. “We are pleased to be a part of the tour and leading into the finals and looking forward to two great nights of entertainment and bull riding in Yorkton.” The Pro Division of PBR Canada regularly features Canada’s best bull riders along with top international athletes, squaring off against the rankest bucking bulls from the nation. Jason Davidson, Director of Operations for PBR Canada, and event producer for the upcoming Yorkton rodeo said the event will bring PBR to a new area. “We’ve kind of leap frogged from Saskatoon to Winnipeg the last 12-15 years,” he told Yorkton This week, adding “this is something we’ve put together in the last eight months … We’ve been pretty adamant this is what the city of Yorkton needed.” The bull riding action begins at 7:00 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday, (Nov. 9-10), presented by Yorkton New Holland. All riders will attempt one bull each during
Submitted Photo from PBR Canada
Friday’s Round 1 and Saturday’s Round 2. Following the second round, the Top 10 will advance to the Championship Round for one more ride and a chance at the event title. In addition to competing for points towards the Canadian national standings, riders will also have the opportunity to earn world points in an effort to earn a berth onto the elite PBR: Unleash The Beast. Davidson said the Yorkton event is the same calibre of bull riding being seen on TSN2 this year with the Monster Energy Tour, adding people can tune in and get a good feel for the excitement of the event to be held in the city in November.
The Yorkton event will mark the final Canadian tour stop prior to the season-culminating PBR Monster Energy Canadian Finals, presented by Mac’s/ Circle K and Dakota Dunes Casino, on Nov. 23-24 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where the 2018 PBR Canada Champion will be crowned. The newly announced event comes on the heels of one of the most fiercely contended national title battles in league history. Coming down to the final outs of the 2017 PBR Canada Finals, Zane Lambert (Ponoka, Alberta) overcame a 500point gap in the national standings, going 1-for-2 on the last night of the season culminating event, to
earn the event title and his second PBR Canada Championship. Lambert is the only rider to win the finals event multiple years, let alone in backto-back seasons, having first won in 2016, and is only the second rider in PBR history to hold multiple Canadian titles. Brock Radford (De Winton, Alberta) finished second in the season-end rankings after leading the majority of 2017 compliments of his historic four consecutive event wins on the nation’s Touring Pro Division. With 25 Canadian events already held thus far this season, the race to be crowned the 2018 PBR Canada Champion is proving to be equally as exciting. In the current standings, once again led
by Radford, the top five contenders are separated by fewer than 1,000 points, with less than 300 points between the top three. Fans can also expect to see a number of home province riders competing, including Cody Coverchuk (Meadow Lake), Justin Lloyd (Tisdale), Jared Parsonage (Maple Creek) and three-time PBR Canada Champion Aaron Roy (Yellow Grass). The riders will have some added incentive to come to Yorkton, said Davidson. The third edition of the PBR Global Cup will be announced for a location in the United States soon, he said. The event which debuted in
Edmonton in 2017, and was held in Australia earlier this years, pits bull riding teams from the top five nations in the sport, Canada, the US, Australia, Brazil and Mexico. Davidson said veteran Canadian rider Aaron Roy of Yellow Grass, SK. will be in Yorkton evaluating talent for the 2019 Canadian team. “This will be a very, very important event to bull riders,” he said. Tickets for the inaugural event in Yorkton will go on sale soon, and fans can check with PBRCanada.com for tickets to all 2018 events as well as the 2018 PBR Canada Finals at the SaskTel Centre on Nov. 23-24.
Yorkton players seize Hlinka-Gretzky Cup By Sean Mott Staff Writer Two Yorktonites helped launch Canada to the top of the hockey heap over the weekend, snagging the

“It was super cool,” said Korczak. “[Pretty] surreal.” “It was incredible,” Maier said. “[I’m] kind of speechless.” Korczak (who plays with the Kelowna Rockets) and Maier (who plays with the Saskatoon Blades) earned their spots on the team. They competed against players from around the country at a tryout camp in Calgary. “[We] battled it out for a spot,” Maier said. The Yorktonites secured their places in the team, joining their fellow players against Switzerland on Aug. 6 in Canada’s first game of the tournament. Maier played a strong game, achieving an impressive shutout as Canada steamrolled Switzerland 10-0.
By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship was held in Duncan, BC from Aug. 6-9. Yorkton golfer Kade Johnson was one of the golfers competing at the national event. Johnson, who won the Saskatchewan Men’s Amateur on July 19, tied for 56th place. Over four rounds, Johnson scored 287 to finish a total of 3 over par, with scores of 73, 71, 67 and 76. The top three in the tournament were Zach Bauchou from Forest, VA, Philip Knowles from Jacksonville, FL and Garrett Rank from Elmira, ON. Bauchou finished the tournament
prestigious 2018 Hlinka-Gretzky Cup. Kaeden Korczak (defence) and Nolan Maier (goaltender) fought with team Canada during the grueling week-long tournament in Edmonton. The team competed with groups from the United States, Russia, Sweden, Slovakia, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, and Finland. It was a tough ride with a fair share of nailbiters, but Canada ultimately came out on top.
“[I give] a lot of credit to my team,” Maier said. Canada trounced Slovakia (4-2) and Sweden (4-3) before facing their biggest challenge in the United States team on Aug. 10. “[You] always want to win against them,” Maier said. The teams jockeyed for control during the game, trading points before Canada won 6-5 in overtime. Korczak was proud of his work in the game. “I played solid defence against the States,” he said. Canada faced Sweden again in the finals on Aug. 11, confidently dismantling their Scandinavian rivals 6-2 on their way to championship glory. “It was awesome,” Maier said. The Yorktonites plan to take the lessons they learned at the tournament with them as they continue in their hockey careers. “Always have that ‘team first’ mentality,” Maier said. “When you represent your country, you check your ego at the door,” Korczak said.

Jays rebuild for success will be difficult It is most certainly a trying year if you are a fan of the Toronto Blue Jays. That said, the wreck that the team currently is, was something wise baseball fans could see coming before the first pitch was thrown on the current season. The Jays struggled in 2017, and the optimistic, or perhaps the ridiculously naive, chalked that showing up to the team missing starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez for most of the year, and Roberto Osuna blowing a few too many saves. You could do some creative math around the pitching pair and push the Jays into distant contention. So Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins spent the last off season bolstering an already shaky Jay’s squad with
aging bandaids. He signed pitchers Seunghwan Oh, Tyler Clippard and John Axford, all bit pieces that on a good team could have been useful, but weren’t collectively a bullpen to boost a team into contention. Ditto adding outfield Curtis Granderson, a nice veteran presence, but not a piece in a winning outfield. Atkins made other moves, but none brought a piece to the puzzle that ensured a better season in 2018. In terms of moves Atkins has made many since assuming the GM role, but none have brought a significant piece to TO, at least yet. In dumping Oh, Axford, Osuna, and J.A. Happ at the trade deadline he did acquire a pocket full of assets, although none suggest blue chip
CALVIN DANIELS
Sports prospects either. And, frankly Atkins’ trade deadline blow out was not inclusive enough, although injuries likely prevent Marco Estrada from being dealt, and the same is the case for third baseman Josh Donaldson. Donaldson is a sad case. He should have been traded in the off season when he had some real value. Holding on to some misguided hope the Jays could contend kept him in TO,
but he has been hurt and a non-factor. The injury meant no trade, and now he will likely depart via free agency with no pay back for the Jays. Why Clippard and Granderson weren’t dealt, even for a single ‘A’ long-shot is a mystery. Ideally, Troy Tulowitzki, Russell Martin and Kendrys Morales, would have been moved too, but all three are far overpaid compared to their actual play value, so a move is
all but impossible. The bloated contracts, and left overs such as Granderson, leave the Jays stuck in something of a no-man’s land. They clearly are rebuilding, but are stuck with a handful of pieces that just don’t fit into short, or long terms plans for change and improvement. There are some intriguing pieces in the TO farm system; Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, Anthony Alford, Rowdy Tellez, Danny Jansen and Cavan Biggio, all position players with promise. That is the scary part the Jays players of promise rarely achieve super stardom, the last position player to do it was arguably Carlos Delgado and that goes back years. But let’s dream this group bucks the history and blossom, it still leaves huge issues in

terms of pitching with Marcus Stroman showing he might be a solid fourth starter, not the staff ace, and the aforementioned Sanchez showing signs he may be a bust. The prospect cupboard for pitchers is pretty thin in Jaysville. And, the Jays are in the toughest division in baseball with both the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox with great young cores, and deeper pockets to fill holes. That reality would suggest, barring major injuries, at best the Jays are fighting for the second wild card position. That is not a particularly enticing place to be. The face of the Jays is changing, but whether it becomes a prettier face in terms of success is hard to tell when looking at things in August 2018.

Lady Gridders camp kicks off By Sean Mott Staff Writer Female football fanatics and newbies stormed Century Field over the weekend as part of the first-ever week-long Lady Gridders camp. “We’re trying to get some girls out, get them interested in the sport and then...hopefully we’ll get enough girls for our fall football team,” said head coach Tyrell
Maclean. Maclean kickstarted the Lady Gridders group this year, which will be a girls-only football team in the fall. The group, which is open to girls in grade seven to 12, will compete against teams from Melville, Moosomin, and Regina. “This is the first [team] of its kind,” Maclean said. “That’s why we’re trying to make sure we can get as many girls out
as possible.” Over 20 girls participated in the camp on Aug, 11 and 12, practicing passes, runs, dodges, and tackles. “We’re doing a lot of basic introductory stuff,” Maclean said. Maclean was happy with the weekend turnout. Many people are
away on summer holidays, so he’s hoping for more participants in the fall season. “Even if they missed the entire camp, they’re more than welcome to come out, register, and play football this fall,” he said. Maclean thinks football is a great sport
because it provides a role for all types of athletes. “The beautiful thing about football is it’s a team sport and there’s a spot for everybody,” he said. The Lady Gridders’ first home game will be on Sept. 9 at Century

Challenger program has successful season By Sean Mott Staff Writer When John Emery sees his players laughing and enjoying themselves on the baseball diamond, he knows he’s done a good job. “I work for the smiles,” he said. “When they’re running around and having fun, that’s all worth it to me.” Emery is the co-coordinator for the Challenger Baseball program in Yorkton, which started in May. It focuses on noncompetitive baseball for kids and adults living with mental or physical
disabilities. The program’s regular season wrapped up in Regina last month, but that didn’t stop Emery from organizing a quick evening game at the Yorkton Lions Baseball Diamond on Aug. 11. “We haven’t really had a game under the lights before,” he said. Looking back at three months of baseball, Emery is pleased with the program’s first season. He saw good engagement and improvements with the players as they honed their skills. “We’ve had 15 to 17 registered kids playing,”
he said. “There [have] been lots of developments with the players’ abilities. “We’ve seen the kids coming out of their proverbial holes so to speak.” Emery plans to organize another regular season with the program next summer. He wants to build off the group’s momentum and add new features such as away games. “Different diversity to the program [next year],” he said. While the regular sea-
son has drawn to a close, Emery wants to keep the team united through movie nights and other sports during the year. “The core of the program is to keep everybody together,” he said. Emery thinks the Challenger Program is a vital service for people with disabilities. “[The program] gives people who have special needs, whether it’s physical or cognitive, a chance to play, a chance to be active, a chance to be out and do stuff,” he said. “This is absolutely huge for kids.”
Players take a swing during the evening game on Aug. 11.
Rowers do well at event in Regina Yorkton Canoe Kayak Club athletes competed this past weekend in Regina at the 2018 Prairie Division Sprint Canoe/ Kayak Championship. Tayja Kohut (9), Sophie Smith (9), Stephan Roy (10), Josh-lynn Kohut (13), Elia Bolme (13), and Raya Cuthill (15) represented YCKC against competitors from AB, MB, and SK. Points are assigned based on athlete results in each event final. After an intense weekend of racing, YCKC ranked 1st in U11 Women, 2nd in U13 Men, 2nd in U13 Women, and 2nd in U11 Mixed. “We had a small but mighty team” said Head Coach Jessica Riley, “I’m thrilled of our suc-
cess competing against larger clubs like Regina and Calgary. Our team is continuing to grow and recruit new paddlers, so I look forward to increasing our standings in the next couple years and bringing home the U13 or U15 Burgee.” A Burgee is a flag given to the club with the most accumulated points in each age division. Athletes were challenged off the water as well as on, facing 39 degree weather. “The host committee (Regina) did a fantastic job preparing for the extreme weather,” said YCKC Commodore and parent Nicole Roy. “They had misting tents, cold shower stations, and refreshing snacks for

athletes once they got off the water. As a parent it was great to have these options available to keep the athletes healthy during the event”. Sophie Smith, a 2018 season recruit and competing for the second time this season, had a very successful weekend. Smith won Gold in the U11 Women’s K1 200m, advanced to final in the U11 K1 Mixed 500m event and finished with a Bronze medal. Racing up in the U13 Women’s K1 2000m event, Smith placed 8th with a time just 2 minutes off 1st place. Smith raced with teammate Tayja Kohut (9) to win the U11 Mixed K2 200m Final. The crew also took home Silver in the U11 Mixed K2 500m Final and came in 4th in the U13 Women’s K2 500m Final. In addition to medaling in events with Smith, T. Kohut won Bronze in the U11 Women’s K1 200m Final and advanced to the U11 Mixed 500m Final where she finished 4th overall. One of the youngest racers at the competition, T. Kohut finished strong in the U13 Women’s 2000m event. Josh-lynn Kohut (13) placed 4th in the U13 Women’s 2000m event, 5th in the U15 Women’s K1 500m Final, and 5th in the U15 Women’s K1 500m. J. Kohut paddled with teammate Elia Bolme to win Silver in the U13 Women’s K2 500m event and place 4th in the U15 Women’s K2 500m. Kohut/Bolme along with paddlers from Saskatoon won Bronze in the U15 Women’s K4 500m Final. Bolme had great success in her individual events, taking home Bronze in the U13 Women’s K1 2000m Final, Silver in the U15 Women’s K1 500m Final, and Bronze in the U15 Women’s K1 200m Final. Bolme, Smith, T. Kohut, J. Kohut joined forces for the U13 Women’s K4 200m Final and took home Silver. Stephan Roy (10) won Gold in the U11 Men’s K1 200m Final, won his heat and advanced to the final and won Gold in the U11 Mixed K1 500m event. Roy advanced to the final in the U13 Men’s K1 200m event and finished 5th. Roy joined Saskatoon
and Calgary competitors to take home Bronze in the U13 Men’s K2 500m final and Gold in the U11 Mixed K2 500m Final. Roy also placed 4th in the U13 Men’s K1 2000m event. In addition to being a regatta for U15 athletes, Prairie Division Championships also serves as a qualifier for Nationals, the 2018 Canadian Sprint Canoe Kayak Championships hosted in Sherbrooke, QC at the end of this month. Yorkton’s own Ethan Caskey (17) raced with Saskatoon Racing Canoe Club in team events and qualified in his K1 and K2 events. Good luck at Nationals, Ethan!
YCKC’s Raya Cuthill (15) raced in qualifying events for the first time and placed 7th overall in the U16 Women’s K1 1000m, 13th in the U17 Women’s K1 6000m, and 6th in the U16 Women’s K1 200m Final. “Athletes from the division are all competing for a nomination to Nationals in Sherbrooke. Raya did very well for her first time in these events,” said coach Riley. What’s next for YCKC athletes? YCKC hosts the 2018 Developmental Regatta on Saturday, August 18th. This Olympic style sprint competition is designed for beginner paddlers from across the province who
will race in a fun and welcoming environment. YCKC is still recruiting new paddlers for its team! Contact Jessica Riley for more information on how to join or to volunteer for this exciting event!

MINTENKO - On Aug. 10, 2018, we said goodbye to a man who we know has touched the lives of so many people, as a storyteller, counsellor, musician, handyman, truck driver, apple pie lover and friend. Charlie Mintenko was born on April 17, 1952 in Russell, MB and grew up on a farm. After graduating high school and putting some miles on his Mustang in Winnipeg, he made his way to Langenburg, SK where he met his sweetheart, Charlene (nee Nerbas). They married on June 29, 1974, and moved to Grayson later that year. In 1987, they settled in Yorkton. Charlie held many working titles over the years, from grain buyer to rink custodian, mechanic, bus driver, electrician and fuel truck driver. But it was his decades playing music that brought him a special joy. His family knows that many people share memories of his fender guitar, jokes told with a thick Ukrainian accent and Johnny Cash songs that would fill dance halls across Saskatchewan and Manitoba. We also know he helped many people through their journey with Alcoholics Anonymous, and admire the courage and wisdom he showed in his 36 years of sobriety. Along with his wife of 44 years, he is lovingly remembered as Papa Bear by his children; Julie (Neil) Parisloff and her family, Zander, Kyra, Joshua, Brittany (Matthew) and Brynn; Kelly (Julie) and his son, Keaton; and Courtney (Kyle) Markewich. He is survived by his big sisters, Ann (Mervin) Kendel and Barb Bartkiewitz, his brother-in-law Garry (Sharon) Nerbas, along with his nieces and nephews. Charlie was predeceased by his parents William and Margarette Mintenko, parents-in-law Eddie and Amanda Nerbas and brother-in-law Rodney Nerbas. Charlie was always there with a hug for so many people - whether they were a longtime friend or someone he was meeting for the first time - and his family knows we will all miss those hugs. Prayers for Charlie were held on August 13, 2018 at 7 p.m. and a Funeral Service on August 14 at 2 p.m. from the Zion Lutheran Church in Yorkton with Pastor Daniel Moeller presiding. Krystal Stigander, Trevor Bartkiewicz, Wade Nerbas, Wendy Sidloski, Clint Nerbas, Ian Nerbas and Kerri Thirsk acted as pall bearers. Donations in Charlie’s memory can be made to Saskatchewan Cancer Agency, 200-4545 Parliament Avenue, Regina SK S4W 0G3.

ELASCHUK - Mrs. Phyllis Elaschuk, wife of the late Wilfred Elaschuk of the Theodore Health Centre, formerly of Springside, passed away on Friday, August 3, 2018. She was sixty-eight years of age. Today we have come to share the memory and life of our mom Phyllis Elaschuk, beloved wife of the late Wilfred Elaschuk. Not only to celebrate her life but also the pain in her passing. Mom was 68 when she passed on August 3, 2018. We wished we could have had more time with Mom and that she could have had a better quality of life. We have peace knowing she is now with Jesus and Dad in heaven and her battle on earth is done. Phyllis was born July 10, 1950 in Foam Lake, SK. She was the second child of Thomas and Gladys (Keep) Wilcocks. She attended school in Sheho and later in Foam Lake, SK. Phyllis was married to Wilfred Elaschuk on July 4, 1970. They were blessed with three children, Lenora, Lorin and Lyndon. Her family was her pride and joy. Phyllis is survived by her three children Lenora (Sylvain), Lorin (Danielle) and Lyndon(Alana); five grandchildren Chelsey, Caleb, Megan, Seth and Broden and two great-grandchildren Parker and Nolan, brother Arlon (Brenda), niece Crystal (Garth) and nephew Dustin (Kourtney), also cousins Shirley, Ruth and Sheila as well as their families. Plus many more special family members and friends. Phyllis was predeceased by her parents Thomas and Gladys, her infant older brother Gordon, her loving husband Wilfred, her Uncle Ed, Aunt Mary, Uncle Bill, Uncle Wilfred and Aunt Susan. As well as many other close family and friends. Our mom was a fighter and one of the strongest women we have known to face what she had to go through. Mom touched so many people with her smile, kindness and her love. I, Lenora will always cherish all the days I spent with mom in the kitchen. From cookies, pies, buns to her helping me cook meals. The days I walked home from school and could smell the fresh bread or cinnamon buns were my favourite treat. Her home was always open to anyone to stop by for coffee and there was always a plate of sweets to go with it. Mom loved gardening and took pride in her flowers in the yard. Waking up on the weekends we would always find her tending to her garden way before we got up. She took pride in the labour and beauty. Mom loved to sing and play the organ anytime she could. Birthdays meant being woken up to an accordion and Mom singing Happy Birthday. This is a memory we will all cherish. Her grandchildren loved her very much and I feel blessed they made memories with their Baba when she was healthy. They looked forward to waffles or the many trips she would make to Moose Jaw to see them and spoil them. As well as the trips she made to Calgary to see Lyndon’s boys. She cherished those moments she had with all of her grandchildren. I always looked forward to our summer trips to Minot, Alberta, etc with Mom and Dad. This meant that mom and I would get dropped off at the mall to go shopping, while Lorin and Lyndon went with dad to find and look for heavy equipment. I would say being the daughter was a blessing. Phyllis fought through being first diagnosed with a brain tumor in 1997 until her passing. She spent many of this time in and out of the hospital, home and recovery in Regina. After her last surgery she was unable to go home so she spent time in Regina, Yorkton, Ituna and then resided in Theodore Health Centre till her passing. Rest in peace, we love you Mom and will miss you dearly till we meet you in heaven. Your memories will forever stay in our hearts. Prayer services were held on Friday, August 10, 2018 from the Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre. Funeral Services were held on Saturday, August 11, 2018 from the Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre with Velma Henderson officiating. The organist, Renee Oshowy, led the congregation in the singing of the hymns “Amazing Grace”, “How Great Thou Art” and “What A Friend We Have in Jesus”. Interment followed in the Springside Town Cemetery with John Surkan, Darryl Busse, Dustin Wilcocks, Bryan Elaschuk, Patrick Currah and Travis Currah serving as the casket bearers. Condolences can be sent to the family at www.baileysfuneralhome.com.

SHUPENA - Mr. Ernest Shupena of Yorkton, beloved husband of Rose Shupena, passed away August 8, 2018 at Yorkton & District Nursing Home. He was just short 17 days of his 90th birthday. Ernest Shupena came to this world on August 25, 1928 in Yorkton, SK. Ernest was the oldest of three boys and one girl. Ernest was predeceased by his mother and father, Magdylyna and Nick, and youngest brother Edward. He leaves to celebrate his life, with fond memories, his wife Rose, son Raymond, Richard (Evelyne), Jeffrey (Kathy) and Douglas (Krista), along with 12 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren, his brother Wes and sister Evelyn (Harold). Ernest had many adventures in his lifetime which spanned the greater part of almost 90 years. He left home at an early age, some say as early as fourteen and worked for farmers at first in Saskatchewan and Manitoba and then moved to the coast where he thoroughly enjoyed his years in British Columbia. Most of his travels were by rail and on freight trains. He worked in the orchards and odd jobs in Vancouver but mainly enjoyed working for the logging industry and camps where he started underage and made good wages. He enjoyed spending his off time in Vancouver where he would go to the movie theaters as many as three times a day and watched every movie available back in those days. He then started with the Canadian National Railroad in Kamsack in 1949 and worked for this company as an engineer until he retired in 1987. First starting out in Kamsack, then Melville and finally Winnipeg, MB. In his retirement years he also held a job with Via Rail in British Columbia and even got to work the engineer job for Via Rail from Kamloops to Jasper, which was his dream for most of his working life. Shortly after starting in Kamsack he met his beautiful and loving wife Rose Chomyshen and they were soon married on February 1, 1952 and spent over 66 years together until his passing. Together they thrived and had four boys. They started their life together in Kamsack, then on to Melville, Winnipeg, Abottsford and then ended back in Yorkton. Over those years they had many, many wondrous and beautiful gardens and flowers. At one point he decided to raise bees and make honey so dad and the boys made supers and in the 70s had up to 75 hives and many years the hives were ten supers high. On that 40 aces they also had a strawberry and raspberry culture where they sold produce and honey to the public. In 1987 they moved to property they bought between Abbottsford and Aldergrove in BC where again they had magnificent and wondrous gardens and flowers. After a stay there for many years they moved back to Yorkton and bought a home on Logan Crescent. Again they had big gardens and great flowers. In those years Ernest also enjoyed his coffee with friends and relatives at McDonald’s, his shopping and his trips to BC and Manitoba to visit the family and his friends. Ernest also made many trips to Regina taking his friends and relatives to doctor’s appointments in the big city. Ernest loved a good deal. Couldn’t pass up a good deal and his sons have many a full sheds and quonsets to prove the point. Ernest loved to play cards and hold huge corn roasts at the farm when the kids where older, along with all their friends and relatives, with huge bonfires and many memories. He even golfed some. He started this activity in Melville with CN buddies, kept it up a bit in Winnipeg, and finished it at The Falcon Lake Golf and Country Club on the 17th hole where he emptied his bag of balls with his terrific slice... never again to hold a club in his hand. Typical Virgo. Ernest lived a long and good life. He had good friends and a good family who all loved him and will miss him dearly. The Funeral Service was held on Monday, August 13, 2018 at Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre with Crystal Bailey, Certified Celebrant officiating. A video tribute was presented by Kathy Shupena. Remembrances of Ernest were conveyed by family members. Jeff Shupena served as the urn bearer. The interment will be at a later date.

Albert was born on the family farm in Hubbard, SK on April 1, 1939 to August and Edith (nee Schindler) Miller, the second of four children. He attended school in Hubbard, SK and later worked on the family farm and for numerous farmers in the Hubbard district. Albert first met Shirley on the Wolowidnek family farm while being on the local threshing crew. Years later, he moved to Yorkton in 1968 and by coincidence rented a room at a boarding house, only three houses away from where the Wolowidnek family lived. Albert and Shirley became re-acquainted and on June 14, 1969, Albert was united in marriage to Shirley Wolowidnek at St. Andrew’s United Church in Yorkton. The couple resided in Yorkton with Albert being employed at Rohatensky Lumber followed by Crownmart, E. Shindle Construction, Sask Can Beverages and United Feeds. Because of health issues, Albert had to resign from United Feeds but continued to work on a part time basis constructing homes with Joe Dutchko and setting up grain bins with Walter Dietrich. Albert loved his cats, the Late Mittens and currently Buddy. He loved hunting and fishing and was always an intense pool player (he loved winning) with his favourite game being Flukes. He enjoyed playing a variety of card games including King Pedro, Canasta, Crib and Uno. He enjoyed gardening, setting up puzzles and taking his daily morning walks. He also had a love for cars and enjoyed going on cruises with Shirley including frequent trips to Canora for Chinese food. Albert loved to tell stories and one of his most famous ones was his claim that he once killed two deer with one shot (not substantiated). There were many others and they always provided a lot of fun and laughter. Albert was predeceased by his parents, August and Edith Miller.

located at the back of the home enjoys French doors to a patio, and also features a gas fireplace, truly making it a room for all seasons. The kitchen features an L-shaped counter area. Natural light will flood in through the window over the kitchen sink, as well as that in the dining area. The work area includes an eating bar. A roomy pantry provides extra storage space. An archway leads to the master suite, overlooking the back garden and including an en-suite and walk-in closet. The soaker tub has a tiled surround, and the double
sinks will ease the morning rush-hour. The closet is capacious enough for a couple’s shoes and accessories. The second bedroom is adjacent to a threepiece bathroom, while the third bedroom, which can double as a den, overlooks the front garden and contains a builtin desk. The laundry room includes a handy shelf, as well as a bench with coat-hooks. Access to the double garage means the laundry room can also serve as a mud room. Should a basement be desired, the plans include an optional stairway located near the master bedroom. Exterior finishes include wood siding and painted trim, as well as brick accents. This home measures 35 feet wide and 58 feet deep, for a total of 1,447 square feet of living space on one floor. Plans for design 5-3688 are available for $695 (set of 5), $755(set of 8) and $803 for a super set of 10. Also add $35.00 for Priority charges within B.C. or $60.00 outside of B.C. Please add H.S.T., PST, OR G.S.T (where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges.

out Triangul8. Triangul8, a self-published game by designer James Hutt, is a twoplayer abstract strategy game, which is generally right up my alley in terms of genre. The game is played with triangular tiles, hence its name. There is one red piece and 23 in both black and white. The pieces are very nice, chunky enough to handle and move around easily, and in a material much like that of a domino, so they should last. There is no board, think Hive in that respect. The game starts with the placement of the red tile, after which each player takes a turn placing a tile of their color next to an already placed tile. The goal here is ultrasimple, use your tiles and potentially the red tile, which is neutral and counts for both sides, to form the corners of a triangle that encloses the red tile. The first player to achieve this wins the game. Should both players run out of triangles, the game is a draw. And that is the whole game. There are not a lot of games with a simpler, or more easily understood ruleset, and that is definitely a plus for Triangul8. You could take this one to your local coffee shop and teach it to a new player in about 37-seconds. The game is suggested to play out in five-to-30 minutes, although a half hour contest would need to be played by two players both being very analytical of every move. This is a quick game, the kind you can play through several times over the aforementioned cup of coffee. There is potential for really good players to find their way to draws I suspect, although this is what I think of as a quick filler abstract, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure many will play it so much as to attain a high level of mastery. Of course there are naturals at some games, so beware. Still this is an aesthetically nice, quick to learn, and to play, abstract worth a look. You can check the game out, including a play video at www. triangul8.com

Monstrous monolith of manipulation The black box sits in the centre of my living room. With a click of a button, it purrs to life, ready to consume hours of my day. I’ve invited a monster back into my life. When I left Halifax for Yorkton over a year ago, I realized I had amassed an ungodly amount of knick-knacks and distractions. I had a box full of classic vinyl LPs (with a specific focus on the Bee Gees, naturally). My shelves were stuffed with movies, TV shows, and books. And I had a sizable video game library. I had a lot of stuff I couldn’t fit into a suitcase, so I had to make some tough decisions. I left most of my books, music, and movies behind. Luckily, my parents were generous enough to let me use their garage for storage, so my treasures aren’t
lost forever. When I was making my list of things to put in the Big Box of Halifax Memorabilia, my video games were the first thing on the chopping block. As a kid, I was a huge gamer. I’d waste countless hours collecting coins, shooting aliens, and fighting ninjas in the virtual world. But as I entered my post-collegiate life, my passion for video games dulled. I was playing them less than once a week by the time I moved to Yorkton. It was an easy decision to leave them behind. I’ve lived a (mostly) video game-free existence since then. I came across a used PS2, but aside from a few short sessions, it didn’t get much use. Much like Rambo in First Blood, I’d left that life behind. But like Rambo in First Blood Part Two, I’ve been

Settling in... dragged back in. When I visited home earlier this month, I had the video game itch. I searched through my closet and found the black behemoth known as the PS3. I packed it into my suitcase along with some games. In all honestly, I was planning to primarily use it as a Blu-Ray player. But the dark monolith had other plans.
couch, weary after eight hours of nonstop travel. I was too tired to read or do anything creative; I needed something mindless. I’d packed a game I’d never played before (Saint’s Row 4 for the
curious), so I decided to give it a whirl. It’d be a quick distraction while I charged my batteries. When I looked at the clock, I realized I’d burned two hours playing the game. The PS3 is a time sinkhole. In the year since I fully stepped away from video games, I’d forgotten how addictive they are. They provide an instant gratification that few mediums can match. There’s a very good reason why the video game industry is a billion dollar business.
I hauled the PS3 across the country. plopped it into my living room, and hooked it up to my TV. I sat down in my

As with everything, moderation is key. Video gaming should be a feature, not a focus, of your life (unless you’re one of those professional gamers who make ridiculous amounts of money). I’m currently enraptured with my PS3 since I haven’t used it in a while, but I’m sure it will fade into the background in the next month. There’s more to do in life than just stare at a screen. But if they offer a Tetris video game for the PS3, consider me a goner. That’s one addiction that’s impossible to beat.
