Yorkton’s emergency services responded to an incident on Smith St. on the morning of Sept. 18 where a car went through trees and into a back yard. One vehicle was involved in the incident, and a single person was sent to the hospital. The

cause of the collision is currently under investigation. The west-bound lane of Smith St. was closed as the car was extracted from the yard.

Fire fighters get 15.27 per cent raise

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Professional Fire Fighters Association Local 1527 has a new sixyear contract.

“After 15 bargaining sessions, negotiations with the Yorkton

Professional Fire Fighters Association came to completion on August 15, 2018,” Gord Kennedy, Director of Human Resources with the City, told the regular meeting of Yorkton Council Monday.

Council was presented with updates throughout

the process and provided direction to the negotiating team after each session, said Kennedy.

With the aid of a conciliator, the parties were successful in bargaining a new Collective Agreement.

Kinsmen Arena replacement plan

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The City of Yorkton is about to embark on a process to determine the best course to replace the Kinsmen Arena, which is coming to the end of its expected lifespan.

“The Kinsmen Arena is nearing the end of the anticipated 10-year lifespan and direction is required on its future,” said Paul Keys, with the City at the regular meet-

ing of Yorkton Council Monday.

Keys explained that, “In 2009 an assessment of the Kinsmen Arena was completed that identified an approximate lifespan of 10 years remaining for that facility. As a result, Council authorized a conceptual plan be undertaken for a possible future replacement.”

As a result, “In 2010, Administration engaged Stantec Architecture

The Canadian Student Leadership Conference will be returning to Yorkton in the fall of 2020.

The conference was initially held in 1985 to develop leadership skills, tools, and abilities that will help them become tomorrow’s leaders, today, Mike Haczkewicz principal at Yorkton Regional High School told the regular meeting of Yorkton Council Monday.

Yorkton was the host school for the inaugural event.

“In 1983, the students and staff of YRHS were invited to host the annual provincial student leadership confer-

to develop a high-level conceptual plan, through community engagement, along with an estimated capital cost.”

The rough cost number is currently being carried in the City’s longterm financial planning and has been adjusted to accommodate inflation, said Keys.

Previous Councils also approved various capital projects to ensure that the facility would remain

“The agreement allows the City flexibility to improve the current scheduling model, while maintaining a full time professional fire service.”

ence of 1985. The Honorable Grant Devine challenged the Yorkton group to turn the 1985 provincial conference into a national conference as one of Saskatchewan’s contributions to the 1985 International Year of the Youth project.

“The challenge was accepted and on September 18-20, 1985, the first CSLC was held in Yorkton. Over 800 students and their advisors from across Canada and the United States (and even one delegate from Mexico) attended this conference. The theme of this conference was “Youth of today... Leaders of tomorrow”, and so, the Canadian Student Leadership Association was

founded,” detailed a report circulated Monday.

The 10th anniversary of the conference was again held in Yorkton, and is poised to host the 36th edition in 2020.

The event brings together some 800 student delegates who “are the decision makers at their respective schools.

Those selected to attend are generally the students responsible for booking enter-

tainment for school events, ordering school clothing and accessories, and networking with local businesses to help promote school programs and events. They also promote engagement and participation within their schools and communities. They are the student leaders invested in making a difference in their schools and communities,” detailed the circulated material.

The event in 2020 has the

theme ‘From the Roots Up’.

Haczkewicz said the budget for the event is set at $1 million, including such as expenditures as $100,000 for keynote speakers, $200,000 for meals, and $40,000 for rentals.

Three of the speakers have already been confirmed; Mark Scharenbroich who spoke at the first event in 1985, YRHS alumnus Alvin Law, and former Canadian Football League player JR LaRose from the

Neal Matechuk, lead negotiator for the fire fights said it was good to get a deal dome.

“We’ve been in negotiations since 2016, that’s when the first letters went out,” he said.

What followed were

viable over the next ten years until a decision on its replacement was made, he added.

“Previous Councils also engaged aodbt Architecture to provide a conceptual plan for Gallagher Centre dressing room improvements. This work included a basic structural analysis of the Gallagher Centre to understand what improvements and additions would be structurally feasible. Both the aodbt and Stantec plans remain valid and would be a good starting point to review options for replacement of the Kinsmen Arena,” continued Keys.

A consultant could be engaged to provide information on the following: • Establish feasibility on the location of a replacement Kinsmen Arena either on the existing site or at the Gallagher Centre and provide one highlevel concept for each location.

• Possibilities and high-level budget for the addition of an outdoor component to the Gallagher Centre Water Park.

• Sound Baffling options and costs for Water Park.

• Options and costs for improving existing Water Park de-humidification system (currently part of 2018 budget).

• Costs for ice covering (flooring) and related storage for hosting concerts and increasing revenue potential.

• Improving sound in the Nexera Flexihall, including additional sound baffling along with related costs.

• Possibility and costs for adding curtains in the Nexera Flexihall to divide it into three cells.

• Evaluate the existing ice plant and determine options and costs to ensure it remains safe and viable into the future.

“This work should be considered the development of a Master Plan for the Gallagher Centre and not a request to move forward with construction.

The results would be brought back for Council consideration and possible inclusion in future capital budgets, if Council so wished,” said Keys.

The information was presented to

a long series of meetings, the two city finally aided by conciliator to get a deal done, said Matechuk, who added in

Council “in order to begin the planning process for the replacement of the Kinsmen Arena as well as to establish other priorities at the Gallagher Centre as significant time and work is required before Council should consider their options. Appropriate analysis and planning is required to ensure that all relevant information has been gathered so that Council can make an informed decision about how to proceed with any developments, improvements or construction,” said Keys.

“As preliminary design work has been completed at the Gallagher Centre, Administration believes it would be wise to engage aodbt Architecture to continue their work and provide options for the Kinsmen Arena and any improvements and/or additions to the Gallagher Centre.”

Councillor Mitch Hippsley questioned whether it might be advantageous to seek a new consultant to provide “a fresh set of eyes?”

Keys said the current firm has already done some work, so they know the basics which “might save us a fair bit of money.”

Coun. Ken Chyz said he looks at recreational facilities as key assets for the City as the create spin-off economic activity.

In looking at replacing the Kinsmen Arena Chyz said “it makes a lot more sense at the Gallagher Centre and it is way more convenient if the rinks are close together.”

Chyz also wanted to know when the current levy for the existing Gallagher Centre would end.

City Manager Lonnie Kaal said the first of two loans would come off the books in 2020, and the second in 2021.

Council was unanimous is authorizing Administration to access $50,000.00 from the Gallagher Centre Reserve Account to engage aodbt Architecture to provide Council with options for replacing the Kinsmen Arena on the existing site or at the Gallagher Centre as part of a Gallagher Centre Master Plan that will provide recommendations for future improvements.

Yorkton Mayor said the deal was a good one for the City because it keeps a professional department doing a job that is required.

“It was a long drawn out battle,” he said.

Murray Mandryk is a political columnist with the Leader Post

Politics It’s not exactly fair to say politicians have the wrong priorities.

Politicians’ priorities are generally focused on what the people need.

However, they tend to be a combination of not only what the people need but also what happens to make politicians look their best as they attempt to deliver it.

Take Premier Scott Moe’s dogged determination since becoming Premier in January to stop the federal carbon tax and to get the Trans Mountain pipeline built.

These issues are important to Saskatchewan people … or rather, they are issues that have at direct or indirect impact on more critical Saskatchewan issues like the economy and jobs.

If we are forced to levy a carbon tax, it could mean less mining and oil activities and, thus, less jobs. Similarly, the pipeline — even though it would run from the Alberta oilsands to the B.C. coast — would offer better markets for Saskatchewan oil, thus better prices.

And less oil tanker cars on rail lines is good news for Saskatchewan farmers, who constantly struggle to get their wheat, canola and pulse crop growers to market.

Finally, Moe will likely score political points for taking on the federal Liberal Trudeau government even if the Sask. Party leader falls short of his campaign.

But as important as the pipeline and stopping the carbon tax may be to Moe, he needs a more direct strategy to encourage job creation in Saskatchewan.

Of course, this doesn’t necessarily mean government hiring more public servants for the sake of hiring at the consequence of more deficit budgets and more debt. (That said, with the billions of public dollars now being poured into capital works projects like the Regina bypass — a project whose expense should also be questioned — it’s not as if our tax dollars aren’t already contributing to employment in the construction sector.)

What it should be all about, however, is finding the means to encourage jobs in other ways and that means looking beyond the pipeline and carbon tax issues.

Doing what one can to help address problems in the resource economy may be one aspect of addressing the jobs problem, but the problem needs to be addressed on several fronts.

However, the first step is convincing Moe and his government that the job situation is a serious a problem.

The recent August job numbers show a modest 1,200-jobs increase in Saskatchewan compared with a year ago in August 2017. In Alberta, jobs in July had increased by 33,000 from a year earlier.

This means practically job stagnation in Saskatchewan and the fact of the matter is that it’s been like this for more than two years.

Moreover, unemployment in Saskatchewan — an issue that hasn’t traditionally been a problem in the past when we were losing jobs — is now at 7.4 per cent. And that rate would likely be higher were it not for the age-old Saskatchewan of people streaming to Alberta to find work.

Yet the Sask. Party government sending out social media messages and news releases suggesting that we aren’t doing all that badly in Saskatchewan?

We can’t address the job creation problem in Saskatchewan if we don’t to admit that job the creation problem — to some extent — is a real one.

In fairness to Moe — and virtually every premier this province has had — there is a limited amount he can do to change the realities of this resource-based economy.

Again, it can be argued that taking on the carbon tax and the pipeline is doing something.

But we need to at least try to do more.

Moe could and should be more focused on developing a direct strategy that will encourage hiring or business creation.

Directly speaking, we have a job problem in Saskatchewan.

New ice surface a must

T

he Kinsmen Arena in Yorkton is on its last legs.

The facility has struggled with condensation issues for years, primarily because the facility was not designed to handle the humidity associated with ice being installed in the warmer weather months.

In 2009, an assessment of the arena pegged the life expectancy of the Kinsmen Arena at a decade, which means we are on the eve of that date.

Now no one expects the arena to suddenly fall into total disrepair at some point next year, but it would seem the facility will soon be working on borrowed time.

A few years ago, a presentation was made to Yorkton Council suggesting a third ice surface was needed in the city. While there are certainly hockey teams which travel to neighbouring communities to access better ice times for practices, games, and tournaments, the idea of a third ice surface never gained much traction.

But there is no way a community the size of Yorkton could reasonably operate the hockey and figure skating programs expected of residents on a single ice surface.

So a replacement of the Kinsmen Arena is a must.

The question is less about whether to build and much more about where a new arena should be located.

There are two logical spots, where the current Kinsmen Arena is, or as part of an expanded Gallagher Centre.

While a review of both is warranted, the logical choice seems obvious, planting the new facility at

the Gallagher Centre.

The potential for tournaments, trade shows and other activities would be enhanced by such a move, but it goes further.

There are other things that need addressing at the Gallagher Centre, from the sound system in the Nexera Flexihall to the tiny, antiquated dressing rooms of the Farrell Agencies Arena. Such deficiencies could be most easily addressed as part of a larger project to add the new ice surface.

Funding such a project, of course, will be a consideration for Council.

In the 2017 Draft Audited Financial Statements circulated to Council Aug. 27, the financial statements included an indication the City’s debt limit is $42 million.

Currently long term debt sits at just shy of $17.5 million, including: fire hall ($4,398,960), Gallagher Centre ($2,446,050), waterworks ($4,734,000), and Dracup Avenue ($5,920,245).

This leaves the city with approximately $24.5 million of debt available, as of Dec. 31, 2017.

The current levy for the Gallagher Centre comes off the books by 2021, according to City Manager Lonnie Kaal at Monday’s meeting.

The combination would suggest the capacity to borrow for the project, and an extension of the levy could be an avenue to making the payments.

So the key moving forward is to get the scope of the project defined to address the short and mid-term needs of our community.

In 1927 the Winnipeg Grain Exchange established a radio station so that farmers in Saskatchewan and Manitoba could be kept abreast of the latest grain and livestock prices. Yorkton was chosen as the best location. The station was officially opened on August 19, 1927 with the call letters CJGX, the last two letters representing “Grain Exchange. The station first was lodged in the Collacott Block. The Winnipeg Grain Exchange operated the station for seven years. A Manitoba broadcaster by the name of Dawson Richardson became sole owner

in 1934, and in 1936 it was sold to James Richardson & Sons of Winnipeg. In 1939, the station came into the hands of the Yorkton Broadcasting Company Limited. The studio occupied several premises over time; the second floor of the Smith and Mackay Block on East Broadway; a temporary place in the Dr. Brass School Auditorium, and the Tower Theatre Building on Second Avenue. In 1966 owners became George Gallagher and Ed Laurence. In 1982, Broadcast Place, a three story building on Smith Street became home to the station.

Good summer for Salvation Army

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Salvation Army in Yorkton looks back over the summer and saw a busy, but successful time.

“We’ve had a very busy summer,” said Lieutenant Samuel Tim. “Despite limited resour-

ces we were able to service everyone who came through the door.”

That effort was aided by a successful ‘Extinguish Hunger’ campaign in August with the Yorkton Fire Protective Services. The campaign added two trucks full of non-perishable food to the food bank

shelves, and $466 to the bank account.

The summer was also highlighted by the local Salvation Army sending six youth to a week-long band camp at Beaver Creek, SK. “In the history of the camp they had not seen anyone from

Yorkton,” said Tim, adding it is a positive step locally as the participants “had a lot of fun for the week.”

Next up for the Salvation Army will be the Christmas campaign in support of families who require food hampers, and toys for their children.

Tim said it is all part of the continuing work of the Salvation Army.

“We are still here and will be here for a long, long time,” he said, adding he knows some have wondered about that with the announced closing of the Thrift Store. “If you need help we are here.”

No leads on missing Yorkton man

By Sean Mott Staff Writer Yorkton RCMP are continuing their search for a local man who’s been missing for over two weeks.

Colin Robert Focht (25) was last seen on Sept.

1 near the 100 block of Bradbrooke Drive.

Friends and family members have been unable to contact him.

The RCMP have yet to find any leads on his whereabouts. They’ve monitored banking information and social media

accounts in an attempt to find Focht’s “digital footprint,” but these efforts have been unsuccessful so far.

Focht is diabetic and there is concern he is not in possession of his medication.

Focht was last seen wearing a white sweater and blue jeans. Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is encouraged to contact Yorkton RCMP at 306-7862400 or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

Author writes of Cold War navy

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Author Gord Hunter will be at the Yorkton Public Library next Wednesday promoting his book No-Badge Killick.

The book tells the story of Gord Hunter’s journey from a young naive recruit to, eight years later, a seasoned leading seaman, a submariner in Canada’s Cold War navy.

Hunter, who was born in Grand-Mère, Quebec, lived in six different provinces, and spent almost 20 years in Regina, has a background in writing, although No-Badge is his first novel.

“I studied Communications Arts at what is now Mount Royal University in Calgary focusing on Broadcasting and journalism,” he told Yorkton This Week. “I published two limited run cookbooks and numerous articles for internal union communications.”

But, where did the idea for the book come from?

“It struck me at some point when sitting around swapping yarns with friends that my stories were unique,” said Hunter, who joined the navy at age 17. “No one else in my circle of friends had dealt with storms in the North Atlantic, tracked Soviet submarines and spy

ships, served in the submarine service or sailed to South America and watched the Southern Cross climb higher into the night sky as the Big Dipper sunk into the Northern horizon.

“As well, I thought it would be a good thing if my children could get a sense of what their father did as a young man.

“No-Badge Killick started as an exercise in writing and the stories in it first saw the light of day as a blog.

“Eventually it occurred to me that, if the content in the blog was reorganized, expanded and rewritten, it could be a book.

“I took the stories down from the blog and started rewriting.”

Hunter’s time in the navy was an interesting one, as he served in the Royal Canadian Navy during the Cold War from 1962 until 1970.

The timing of his career helped him decide to go forward with the book.

“Very few people today even know about the Cold War and for those who do it is a distant memory,” said Hunter.

“The people who served during the Cold War are getting older. I have lost many old friends in recent years. I felt the stories were too important to be lost because no one had taken the time to write them down.

Gord Hunter “There hasn’t been very much written about the Cold War Navy. Most of what I have found are academic studies - almost all unreadable examinations of the Navy by and about former senior members of the Naval hierarchy.

“It is an important period in Canada’s history mostly ignored by our government.”

So, was it easy to get the stories on paper?

“In the beginning, a lot of the stories came to me without any great effort, but it helped that a couple of old friends live in Alberta, one I served with on surface ships and the other a former submariner who was a watch mate,” said Hunter.

“Sitting with them and sharing our mutual experiences helped me recall a great deal.

“I had to do quite a bit of research though to fill in blanks and to find dates. I had to refresh my knowledge of some of the sonar systems I had

worked on and to recall some of the more technical aspects of the submarines.

“At some point I gave a draft of the book to a group of friends, writers, and very diverse readers, asking for their thoughts.

Their feedback helped me shape the later rewrites.

“I can’t tell you how many times I rewrote chapter after chapter.

It took me about seven years altogether.”

The stories are of course Hunter’s life and he admitted that sharing some of it was a challenge.

“For the most part it wasn’t difficult getting the stories down, but I did struggle with having to bare my soul about some of the events that took place during those years,” he said. “It took me several rewrites to get the personal level right.”

While sharing the per-

sonal side of the story was hard, it was not the only challenge in writing the book.

“One of the biggest challenges in writing No-Badge Killick was crafting the descriptions of life at sea and in describing some of the more technical aspects of the stories,” said Hunter.

“The book had to be approachable for anyone who had never been to sea and who had no understanding how, for example, a submarine’s snorkeling system works.

At the same time, it had to be detailed enough to hold the interest of those who had been to sea and who had perhaps worked with that equipment or with some of the complex weapons systems described in the book.”

But the story of living on the water also came through as a book strength, said Hunter.

“Life in the Navy during the 1960’s was a tough life in many ways,” he said. “The post war Navy was steeped in tradition and was stiflingly hierarchical but the camaraderie among the sailors in the lower decks would be hard to replicate. Despite it all, we had a lot of fun.

“I think the book captures much of what is was like for a young sailor during that time.”

In the end, Hunter is satisfied with the story he has told.

“I have a good story; the book looks good, it feels good in your hand and I now have my own publishing company,” he said.

“More than that though the story continues; many readers who served in the navy the same time I did have been posting their experiences online through photos and their own stories some of which I have been sharing on my blog.

“I think every author looks back at what they have written and thinks, ‘I should have included that, or I wish I had expanded that section a bit more.’ But I am, all in all, very happy with the book and the decisions I made which brought [it] to fruition.”

As for an audience, Hunter said it will appeal to those with an interest in Canadian history.

“The book is of particular interest to anyone interested in Canada’s involvement in the Cold War and Canadian veterans who served during that period,” he said. “The book offers a kind of validation of the importance of their service to many of the men and women who served during that time.”

Seniors consulted on strategy in Yorkton

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Saskatchewan has its fair share of seniors, a group that is growing larger as the province’s population ages. How is the province going to handle the challenges this aging population faces? The Saskatchewan Seniors Mechanism is consulting with people across the province in order to try to develop a seniors strategy for the province. They were in Yorkton on Sept. 11 to consult in the community.

Brian Harris, chair of the research and issues committee of the Saskatchewan Seniors Mechanism, said the goal is to consult across the province discussing the issues that people are concerned about. Those areas include healthcare, transportation, financial security, homecare, and ability for seniors to remain in their own home.

“Looking forward, say-

and Harris would like Saskatchewan to have a clear seniors strategy, too. Harris estimates that in the next 20 years, more than a third of the province’s population will be over 55, so they want the province to address the issues that the population will face.

The group in Yorkton consulted by the Saskatchewan Seniors Mechanism. Their goal is to develop a seniors strategy for Saskatchewan. ing ‘what would an ideal community look like?’

Where the services were available, the kind of supports seniors need for healthy aging are in place,” Harris said.

In Yorkton, they spoke of a wide range of issues, one example being the difference between aging in rural areas as opposed to cities, said Harris. For example, an older person in a city where they didn’t know many people might not have neighbors checking in on them or helping them. On the

other hand, in a smaller community there would be limited services for seniors and a requirement for travel time, with a lack of a bus service making that more difficult.

At the end of the consultation process, they intend make recommendations to have a seniors’ strategy for the province, and have issues facing seniors reflected in policy.

“Instead of making one-off programs to address this issue or that

issue, to consider this more holistically.” Harris said.

Other provinces already have a seniors strategy, or even a ministry in charge of seniors,

“We think we’re just a little bit behind in Saskatchewan and would like to push that forward,” he said.

The consultation continues across the province and they will be using the information to shape the final recommendations which they aim to put together this spring. They also plan to

create a survey to further engage the province’s seniors.

“One of the challenges we have as older adults is having our voice heard.

We’re hoping to change that,” he said.

Altering genetics long part of things Recently I was doing some net surfing to pass the time, and ended up visiting a number of sites related to the hobby of keeping pigeons.

While city dwellers may look at the common pigeon as little more than flying rats, pigeon hobbyists raise a rather diverse range of breeds with huge diversity in the look of the birds, and what purpose they were originally bred for.

As an example the homing pigeon, derived from the wild rock pigeon as almost all pigeon breeds are, has been selectively bred for its ability to find its way home over extremely long distances.

The sport of flying

homing pigeons was well-established as early as 3000 years ago, and since then the bird has been used as a messenger during wars, and as a postal carrier.

Its usefulness is the result of selective breeding for centuries.

But the homing pigeon looks very little like its cousins the pouter breeds of pigeons, or the fantails and they fly nothing like the acrobatic tumblers.

It was in the midst of my online delve into pigeons it struck me how genetically modified the pigeon is.

Hobbyists through hundreds and hundreds of years have selected breeding stock based on

Agriculture THIS WEEK

Calvin Daniels natural mutations, particular looks and colour patterns, and have bred for those things, diverging pigeons in dozens of distinct breeds, many appearing little like their cousins.

This is not a new thing.

Farmers have changed the cow over the centuries too. The

dairy breeds such as Holsteins are a considerably different annual than a common beef breed such as the Hereford. Herefords are quite different from the diminutive Dexter.

And then there are double muscled breeds such as Belgian Blues which are quite different even among beef

breeds.

The double muscled breeds are interesting in that a picture of a deeply muscled bull of one of the breeds occasionally gets posted to social media with a resulting outcry from some about it being GMO. The connotation of course being that GMO is bad.

There are certainly concerns in the public about GMO today, relating to the science of taking a trait from one species and implanting it in another.

But in reality we have been genetically modifying species for centuries. Farmers have played their role, as in the example of the cattle above, and in crops

such as triticale or tayberries.

Triticale is a hybrid of wheat and rye first bred in laboratories during the late 19th century in Scotland and Germany, while the Tayberry is a cross between a blackberry and a red raspberry created in 1979.

However, the modification of species over the years by selective breeding by, and for farmers, pales rather quickly in comparison to that of hobbyists.

But more of that is what has turned out to be a two-part review of my thoughts.

Calvin Daniels is Editor with Yorkton This Week.

Students learn in the field

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yorkton and area students were given a handson look at where their food comes from with a fall visit to the local ‘Pizza Farm’ last week.

“This project was started to engage youth in agriculture, teach them about where their food originates and highlights the different sectors in the Ag industry in Saskatchewan,” said Rachel Kraynick with Saskatchewan Agriculture and Food told Yorkton This Week.

The program has become an ongoing one which has grown through the years.

“This was our sixth year (for the program),” said Kraynick. “The ‘Pizza Farm’ concept originated in Yorkton and was initiated by the Ministry of Agriculture. Over the years we have had the support of Agriculture in

the Classroom who have developed a manual for setting up food farms, based on the Yorkton model.

“There are now 11 food farms across the province. The most recent one that was added is in Norquay, (the ‘Burger and French Fry Ranch’), who host schools from Norquay, Sturgis, Preeceville and Kamsack.”

The program has students visiting the site in the spring when the crops are planted, and again the fall to see what has been produced.

“We had nine schools and over 300 students (both in the spring and fall) for the Pizza Farm in Yorkton this year,” said Kraynick.

Schools participating include; Canora, Churchbridge, St. Mary’s, St. Paul’s, St. Michael’s, Sacred Heart, Columbia, Yorkdale and Saltcoats.

The spring tours included the following stations and industry volunteers: • Seeding canola, wheat and peas (Ministry of Ag Crops Specialist, Canola Council of Canada, Richardson, Axiom Ag) • Oats (Grain Millers) • Seeding Vegetables (FCC and the Stepping Stone greenhouse) • Farm Safety, including dangers of PTOs, chemical look-a-like station (Yorkton New Holland) • Soil Fertility (Mosaic and SAASE) • Sunflower planting station (Crop Insurance and Yorkton RBC Bank) • Virtual Reality Sandbox learning about watersheds (Assiniboine Watershed Stewardship Association (AWSA) and Lower Qu’Appelle Watershed Stewardship) • Seeding equipment (Pattison Ag) Fall tours included

• Vegetables (FCC) • Beef/Dairy (Ministry of Ag and Richardson) • Critter Dipping and healthy riparian areas (AWSA and Ducks Unlimited) • Harvesting Crops (Axiom Ag and Bayer) “All of our volunteers are so valued for their contributions and with-

out them, it would be extremely difficult to run this project,” said Kraynick. “They are all industry partners who love our industry, want to share their story, engage youth in our industry and are demonstrating what it really means to be an ‘agvocate’.”

Great businesses that won’t make a dime Encountered with several minutes of unexpected downtime – specifically, a computer that decided to have a bit of a temper tantrum – I decided that the best course of action would be to take a nice, relaxing walk through the city’s downtown. While the city has a fair number of the things you expect from a downtown – food, stores, places to sit and enjoy a lovely day – I wondered what could fit in the empty storefronts.

One idea I had was for a vintage arcade. I don’t know if you would actually make any money on this – given the cost of maintaining old arcade machines and the sheer amount of effort required to keep them running, it

feels like an incredibly high-effort way to lose money – but there’s a growing market that would have an interest.

“Authentic” old games are increasing in value all the time because people are nostalgic for the toys of their youth. A vintage arcade would be a fun way to get those nostalgic folks from the ‘80s and ‘90s out and playing the games they remember, possibly showing them to their kids and reminiscing. It would be a way for people to see stuff they otherwise wouldn’t, because prices have gotten out of hand.

It would have to be run by a game-obsessed, wealthy individual who is totally fine with throwing money down the

DEVIN WILGER

Thinking I do with words... drain for the sake of a fun hobby. You wouldn’t make a dime on this and would have to accept this fact. But it would be a fun venture for a very specific kind of dedicated individual. I’d probably combine it with a store that actually has a chance of making a profit.

Another store that would have no chance of making a profit would be

a place that sold and developed film. Well, they would have no chance if they just relied on the Yorkton market, which I am pretty sure consists of me. What you would need is a place that brought in a lot of online business in order to serve the niche of weirdos who like playing around with vintage camera equipment. There is

no way you would make money on this business, but I would like to either stop shipping film to Toronto or have a helpful person teach me how to process it myself.

Given that I’m not a big enough market to sustain a business, you could make it a more general art supply and studio space, bringing in all the stuff that local artists have to order from elsewhere and hosting classes to help them foster their creativity.

I think the message here is that I am not particularly good at cooking up profitable businesses.

Part of that is to the credit of the businesses in the city’s downtown.

Even with a few store closures, there are a lot of

businesses offering a varied amount of stuff downtown. You’ve got clothes, sporting goods, cafes, and specialty grocery stores.

You can take up sewing, you can buy some antiques, you can plan for an exciting evening with your spouse.

Explore the city’s downtown and you’ll find that there is more here than you think and the city doesn’t actually have that many major gaps that need to be filled.

But it does have storefronts that need to be filled. If you want a business that would have an enthusiastic supporter who couldn’t possibly help you make a profit, my ideas would put something in a building for at least a month.

Weather impacts harvest Favourable weather for most of the province allowed producers to continue to make good progress in the field, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Weekly Crop Report.

Fifty-eight per cent of the crop is now in the bin, well ahead of the fiveyear (2013-2017) average of 37 per cent for this time of year. Twentyeight per cent of the crop is now swathed or ready to straight-cut.

Rain showers toward the end of the week slowed down field progress, particularly in the eastern and northern regions, where the majority of the rain was recorded.

Harvest is most

advanced in the southwest region, where 82 per cent of the crop is now combined. The southeast region has 77 per cent combined, the west-central 53 per cent and the east-central region has 49 per cent combined. The northeast region has 27 per cent combined while the northwest region has 16 per cent combined.

Ninety-six per cent of lentils, 94 per cent of field peas, 73 per cent of durum, 46 per cent of spring wheat, 38 per cent of canola, and 14 per cent of flax and soybeans have now been combined. Sixty per cent of durum is estimated to grade 1CW, while 34 and six per cent is estimated to grade 2CW and 3CW, respectively. Fifty per

cent of the pea crop is estimated to fall in the 1 CAN grade, while 46 and four per cent are estimated to grade 2 CAN and 3 CAN, respectively. Fortysix per cent of the lentils are estimated to grade 1 CAN, while 49 and five per cent is predicted to fall in the 2 CAN and 3 CAN category, respectively.

Many people mourn the end of summer, but I love the crisp fall days.

Fall is such a beautiful time of year! There is something very satisfying about cleaning up the garden and putting things away and getting all our plants ready for their winter rest.

DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

Gardener’s Notebook This is a time of many tasks. Pulling out our gardens and emptying our containers is one of the first. If you have a compost pile, many of the plants can go on the pile, but if the plants have any sign of disease, be sure to throw them away in the garbage.

If you have a lot of containers, some may still look as though they still want to be part of your garden scene. You can make new groupings with some containers, creating a “fall” display, but if the containers are looking season-worn and not very robust, empty them now before it starts to get cold. My precious Sweet Pea waited too long one year, and got so chilled doing this task that she caught one of the worst colds of her life.

After that, we were not so determined to have those plants out there past their “best-before” date!

The discussion about cutting back perennials is, well, perennial! Some gardeners like to have a nice neat yard going into winter and like to cut everything back; some like to leave the perennials to catch snow and provide a sanctuary for beneficial bugs. We always leave anything with seed heads, as they provide a snack for the birds in the winter, as well as winter beauty in the garden. And we are careful not to rake up every last fallen leaf

in the garden. because these are a cozy haven for ladybugs, some of the best friends a garden can have.

This is the time to clean up our garden tools before putting them away: wipe away any soil that has stuck to the implements. You may want to sharpen shears and snips so that they will be ready for spring work.

Clean planters before putting them away.

This is also the time to put markers by certain perennials. I think that every gardener has had the experience of accidentally digging in a spot in the spring where there is already a perennial that has not yet appeared! Oops! All we need to do to remedy that problem is take a few minutes now to put in a few wooden markers. Problem solved! The garden is beautiful at this time of year: enjoy it!

Learning to care a fig

Yorkton This Week | www.YorktonThisWeek.com | Wednesday, September 19, 2018

The sign above the packaged figs in the produce section of the grocery store read, $2.49 or three packages $2.25 each.

The elderly woman pushing the cart beside mine stared at the neatly arranged packages and shook her head. “I vant vun only. Vy for do I pay more for chust vun? Tree, I’m not buyink. I can’t pay.” Her strong accent made me smile.

“I know. It seems crazy

doesn’t it?” I didn’t like this giant store’s pricing policy either, but I dropped the three packages required for the discount into my cart. Still muttering, she rolled her nearly empty one away.

At the crowded checkouts, I noticed her again.

One counter over, just ahead. Fumbling to arrange her purchases into her few bags — no checker bagging at this store. Suddenly recent positive impulses I’d had,

then made flimsy excuse to ignore, flooded my thoughts: The note I’d wished I’d

Rail safety At its regular meeting Monday Yorkton Council unanimously proclaimed Rail Safety Week for Sept. 23-29 in the city. Here Henry

written and didn’t, only to find out later how much of a difference it would have made in my friend’s life. The impulse I’d ignored to call someone, because I thought it may take up too much time.

The rainbow I’d missed forever because I wanted to finish the dishes. The child I didn’t make time to play with, the pot of soup I didn’t share...

My heart pounded.

The elderly woman had hefted her bags and start-

ed for the door.

“That’s $87.65.” The clerk extended her hand in my direction. I stopped packing my groceries and reached for my wallet.

What if our good impulses just stopped?

How many does one have to ignore before we just don’t hear them anymore?

Suddenly I was afraid of myself, of what I’d become if I waited to find out. I know people like that. People who don’t care a fig.

People without a shred of charity or spontaneity.

People who’ve gotten so practiced at stifling that small sharing voice that even their faces appear pinched. People who, before you even shake their hand, you know it’s cold.

I held up my finger.

“Just a sec, please. I’ll be right back.” I grabbed

one of my fig packages and started running, ignoring the dismayed customers in line behind me.

I must have frightened the old woman, thundering up like that. Nestling the figs in one of her few bags, I whispered, “Here’s a present for you, love. Have a nice day.”

She froze. Then across her apple-doll face spread a smile so wide I suspected it met itself somewhere at the back of her head. “Got blessink you!” she sputtered.

Jesus was right when he said it’s more blessed to give than receive. I’m sure that woman forgot about me the moment her fig package was empty, but the little kindness that didn’t escape warms me still. These days, I care a fig.

YRHS put in an impressive performance against the Moose Jaw Central Cyclones on Sept. 14, with a final score of 38-14.

YRHS take down Cyclones under the lights

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer It’s always a big deal when the Yorkton Regional High School Raider Gridders get under the bright lights on a Friday night. This year’s Friday Night Lights game took place on Sept. 14, with the Moose Jaw Central Cyclones taking on the Raiders.

The Raiders quickly took the lead in the first half, with a quick succession of touchdowns putting them up by 21. The Cyclones were not able to catch up, but they were able to give the Raiders a

challenge for the remainder of the game, putting two touchdowns on the board and preventing the Raiders from getting too far ahead for the majority of the contest. The Raiders kept scoring through the second half as well, leading to high numbers on the board.

The final score was 38-14 for the Yorkton squad.

Coach Roby Sharpe said it was a good night for football. He was impressed by the competition that the Moose Jaw Central team offered.

“They tested us and it was good.”

The Friday night game

is an important one for the team as well because it brings out the crowd and it’s a rare opportunity to play under the lights in Yorkton.

“Guys play hard for this one and it’s an important one because it will probably stick with you for the rest of your life,” Sharpe said.

Quarterback Jordin Rusnack played for his third and final time under the lights at Century Field. The Grade 12 students was pulled up in Grade 10 and he’s proud they’ve wound up on the winning side for each Friday Night Lights

appearance.

“When we get the chance to get out the lights and bring the community together, we’ve got multiple groups in our school doing activities like face painting, band, choir and everything coming together.

It’s just overall a good school spirit night.”

While it was a convincing win in the end, the team has things to work on, specifically penalties.

Sharpe admits the team needed more discipline, and gave the Cyclones opportunities they otherwise would not have had.

“We took way, way too

many penalties,” he said.

Rusnack agrees that penalties were the weak point for the team.

“We only allowed 22 yards rushing on defense, but passing we need to focus on more. Offense, everyone worked well together,” he said.

The team is now preparing to face Moose Jaw Vanier in Moose Jaw on Sept. 22.

“We’ll enjoy this one right now, and Monday we will get back to work,” Sharpe said.

Rusnack is confident in the team this season, and he has his eyes on

the provincial prize at the end of it, though he admits they still have to work on a couple things before they get there.

Sharpe also thanked the community for their support of the team.

Putting on the evening means going well beyond just playing a game, but the community has to show up and the school takes it as an opportunity to show off some of the other things happening in YRHS at the beginning of the year.

“It’s not just about the football game, it’s about the school and the community,” he said.

Racing in the rain Young runners didn’t let stormy clouds ruin their race aspirations. Over 600 students from grade three to nine in the Good Spirit School Division competed in a cross-country meet at Deer Park on Sept. 17, powering through rain as they strove for the finish line.

Big week for Canadian sports fans For Sept19, 2018 Paper

As a sports fan with rather extensive and diverse tastes, the past week has been rather historic.

In terms of all of my sport interests I am devoutly Canadian. I cheer for Canadianbased teams and Canadian participants first and foremost.

So when I chanced upon the Major Arena Soccer League a couple of years ago I was disappointed there were no Canadian franchises.

The sport, unlike its outdoor cousin, is exciting with lots of scoring. I was hooked and fortunately found Ian Bennett was Canadian and starting in Milwaukee with the Wave.

I have watched the Wave the past two seasons – MASL games are all live on YouTube – but now my allegiance to the league can come back to this side of the 49th parallel.

Last Wednesday, after months of rumour, it was officially announced the

Mississauga MetroStars will begin play in the MASL in December.

The fledgling team should be entertaining, if not playoff bound in season one.

At the age of 40, Canadian soccer legend Dwayne De Rosario has been unveiled as the marquee player. He might be past his prime, but gives the team some immediate profile. He had 33 goals for Toronto FC and another 22 for the Canadian men’s national team, and is joined on the MetroStars by fellow TFC alumnus Adrian Cann. Anthony Osorio, younger brother of current Red Jonathan, was also revealed as a team member.

Mississauga will play in the MASL’s Eastern Division, along with Utica City FC, Harrisburg Heat, and Baltimore Blast, the Blast being the defending league champs.

It will be great to watch the Mets, and I hope their online presence is a good one.

the rest of the way.

Cade Kowalski would tie the contest 4-4 only 32-sconds after the Terriers’ go-ahead marker.

At 17:44 Hiltz would pop his second of the night for a Wing lead. And then at 18:33 Kazymyra would salt away the 6-4 win as he completed an opening night hat trick effort.

Ben Laidlaw took the loss in the Terrier net facing 31 shots, while Riley Lamb faced 48 in the win for Weyburn.

Terrier head coach Mat Hehr said the Terriers just couldn’t close the deal on a win Friday.

“We had a great start … We skated so well. We used our speed really well,” he said, adding they just couldn’t get the goal to make the hill to climb too great for a Weyburn comeback. “We didn’t finish on all the chances.

“We’re pretty disappointed we let them back in the game.”

Still, Hehr said the team played well for much of the game and the late game comeback by the Wings is a learning moment for the young

Sports NLL news

I am also a huge lacrosse fan, made more staunch by the arrival of the Rush to Saskatoon a couple of years back.

So I was thrilled last Thursday when the National Lacrosse League announced a strange little franchise juggle which in the end is great news for Canadian fans.

The NLL announced it awarded a franchise, under the ownership of Curt Styres, to the city of Halifax. Styres is the current owner and general manager of the Rochester Knighthawks.

Styres, who was named NLL’s 2017-18

General Manager of the Year, applied to relocate his team and received approval from the NLL Board of Governors.

“We are very proud to welcome the great city of Halifax, Nova Scotia, as a National Lacrosse League franchise. Known as a great events city with a passionate, loyal, and hungry fan base for major league sports, Halifax proved to be an ideal location for our league’s expansion in Canada,” said NLL Commissioner Nick Sakiewicz in a release. “Curt Styres is one of our longest standing and most passionate owners and I am sure he will bring his knack

for winning to this great City just as he has in Rochester. This marks yet another exciting step towards the execution of our five-year plan.”

The Halifax franchise will begin play during the 2019-20 season at Scotiabank Centre, with many of the players on the current Knighthawks’ roster, though there is speculation some players may stay in Rochester.

Yes Rochester will remain in the NLL too.

The same day the NLL announced the sale of the Rochester franchise, inclusive of the brand, to Terry and Kim Pegula starting with the 2019-20 season. The Pegula’s will operate the Knighthawks as an expansion franchise.

Yes, it is a touch wonky in terms of team juggling, but it solidifies both fran-

chises moving forward.

In terms of Halifax, the rumours are the team will be called the Privateers.

The NLL will start the 2018-19 season with 11 teams, San Diego and Philadelphia being expansion franchises.

Since coming on-board as NLL commissioner Sakiewicz has been vocal in citing a desire to expand to 16 teams in the short term, and that appears a plan that is moving forward quickly.

There is speculation San Francisco, under the same ownership as the NBA Warriors, New York, and Boston (supposedly the Shamrocks) will be announced shortly.

That would leave one spot to hit 16, and hopefully Edmonton gets on board for that one.

Terriers drop SJHL opener to Wings The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League season began for the Yorkton Terriers Friday.

Unfortunately, the Terriers’ first game of the season was a 6-4 loss in Weyburn.

Greg Mulhall opened the season scoring for the Terriers 10:39 into the contest.

Jordan Kazymyra would knot the score for the Wings at 16:20, only to see Yorkton reclaim a lead 46-seconds later on a goal by Colby Brandt.

A powerplay goal

by Branden Klatt 2:54 into the second period extended the Terrier lead to 3-1.

However, with only 1:11 left in the middle frame Ben Hiltz cut the Yorkton lead in half drawing the home team back within one at 3-2.

Kazymyra would tie the game at 3-3 with a powerplay goal midway through the third period.

It would be a manadvantage marker by Cody Bruchkowski at the 13-minute mark that would again see the Terriers inch ahead 4-3.

But it was all Wings

Terriers. He said the team has to play a full 60-minutes.

“It’s a good lesson to learn early on,” he said. “… We all have to learn from this and move forward.”

The Terriers were scheduled to play in Estevan last night, (Tuesday), but results were not available at press time.

The Terriers home opener is Friday at the Farrell Agencies Arena, when they host Weyburn.

SHHS Saints lose in last-minute heartbreaker

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The final minutes of the Sacred Heart High School Saints’ game against the Esterhazy Warriors on Sept. 13 were a rollercoaster ride. The Saints had a successful touchdown drive, tying the game at 14. The team was excited to be back in the contest, with little time remaining.

Immediately after, on the kick return, the Warriors evaded the Saints’ defense, getting a touchdown of their own.

A successful conversion extended their lead to 22-14, finishing the game for the Saints.

In spite of the painful loss, coach Nick Jonassen

and were playing stronger. Describing the first game as a eye-opener, he’s happy to see the team is playing better.

The SHHS Saints and the Esterhazy Warriors duke it out on Sept. 13. The Warriors would go on to win 22-14 with a touchdown on a kick return. had a couple injuries and a guys that came in late, so it was nice to see them come together.”

This is their second loss of the season, following a loss in their first

is proud of the way the team played.

“It’s tough to give that one up at the end, but the boys put some hard work in this week and they battled right to the end. We

game in Foam Lake.

Jonassen that the team had not quite come together in time for the Foam Lake game, while the competing team had started the season earlier

“We had some of our older guys step up and make some big plays, but we had a couple of new guys who made a big difference in the game.

Ethan Hubick on the line, who had a couple sacks, Chance Corcoran had a couple sacks on defense.

Defense was our struggle in our last game, but they really picked it up and helped us out.”

The next game for Sacred Heart is in Melville on Sept. 20.

Sacred Heart High School hosted a one day, six team junior girls volleyball tournament on Sept. 15th.

SHHS, Kamsack, Norquay, St. Henry’s in Melville, Melville Comprehensive & Churchbridge attended.

After the round robin, SHHS, St. Henry’s, Melville Comprehensive and Kamsack advanced into the playoffs.

SHHS & Kamsack met in the final with Kamsack winning the championship.

Coach Kurtis Decker was impressed by the level of play shown over the tournament. “All teams showed tremendous improvement as the day progressed with many competitive matches played. It was a great opportunity for all teams to try different combinations of line-ups and allowed for the girls to try different positions on the court to help them and their coaches to make decisions on the best spots for them to be successful.”

“We’re getting a bit more commitment out of the guys. The coaching staff is pretty new and young too, so we’re working through things and we’re starting to see it gel,” he said.

Their goal is to continue to play better each game over the season.

Smile with Confidence

POPOWICH - Walter Popowich was born on November 14, 1929 in the Wroxton District, Sk; son of Harry and Nettie (Dubnyk) Popowich.

Walter was raised on a farm north of Wroxton and attended Jarema School. At the age of seventeen he moved to Regina to study auto mechanics. It was in Regina that he met Doreen Croswell who he married on February 18, 1950. In April of that year they moved to a mixed farm south of Kamsack, in the Brandon School District. Walter spent the next 50 years building and expanding their farming operation. In 2000, Walter and Doreen bought a house in Yorkton where they resided during the winter but continued to actively farm in the summer until recently.

Walter had a passion for his farm, fishing, and above all deeply loved his family. Walter passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, September 9, 2018 at his home. He was predeceased by his wife Doreen (2009), his parents Harry and Nettie, his brother Bill, and sister Violet Tesarowski; a niece Donna, & a nephew Daryl. Walter leaves to cherish his memory and celebrate his life, son Barry (Sherry) of Saskatoon, daughter Beverly (Myron) Tatarniuk of Yorkton; grandchildren Rebecca (John), Dane (Casey), Emily (Micah); great-grandchildren Grace and Carolyn; sister Julie; brothers Elmer and Ron; and, nephews and nieces. The funeral service was held on Friday, September 14, 2018 from the Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre with Doreen Day, CFC officiating. Son-in-law Myron Tatarniuk gave the eulogy. Songs played were ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ and ‘River Road’. Grandchildren participated, Emily sang ‘The Rose’, and Rebecca & Dane recited the Farmers Creed. The interment took place in the Yorkton City Cemetery with Dane Tatarniuk, John Shurniak, Dale Tesarowski, Jim Allemeersch, Harry Malayney and David Tataryn serving as the casketbearers. Memorials may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.

BRENNER - Jacqueline Joyce Brenner (née Schappert) was released from her earthly bonds and departed this life three weeks short of her 91st birthday on September 10, 2018 at Regina Lutheran Home. Jacqueline was born on the family farm north of Marchwell, SK, to George and Emma Schappert (née Lowenberger). She attended Echo School and Hoffenthal Church in the Marchwell area. The family later moved to Wadena where her father started a blacksmith shop. She met her future husband, Howard Brenner, the nephew of her sister’s husband, while staying with them. She married Howard on June 18, 1952 and moved to a farm six miles south of Churchbridge where they started their family of two girls and a boy.

While on the farm, Mom cooked for the road crew who built the highway next to the farm. Mom lost her husband unexpectedly in 1963 so moved the family off the farm into Churchbridge and took up work in the hardware store. In 1966, she moved the family to Yorkton where she lived for 42 years. In 2008, health difficulties saw her move to Regina to be closer to her one daughter. Mom was a master at handiwork. She crocheted, embroidered, and altered clothing. She was the original recycle queen, saving many oddball items because “she might need them some day.” She would piece together various items she had saved to create something for use in the garden or in the house. She was also mechanically inclined and would take things apart, clean them, and put them back together so that they worked just like new. She loved her little house and yard in Yorkton. She was an exceptional gardener and enjoyed growing, canning, and freezing the produce for use over the winter. She was especially good at growing her own tomatoes and making her own sauerkraut. One year, she planted her garden in a circle, we think to encourage people to stop and talk to her about her garden. She enjoyed the attention and always liked to do things in a different or unexpected way. Mom was an excellent cook and baker, testing and tweaking recipes until they turned out the way she wanted. She made the best homemade bread, buns, and poppy seed kuchen and always had some on hand for visitors. She also made and decorated cakes for birthdays and anniversaries using fresh edible flowers from her garden for the decorations. Jacqueline held a special place in her heart and had lots of patience for children with special needs. She also was an active member of Zion Lutheran Church in Yorkton. Mom was a home body and didn’t travel much. On the few occasions that she left the province and country, she enjoyed herself immensely, especially “on the island” visiting family and in the US at a Watkins convention with friends. She had a mischievous streak and liked to stir things up or say things to shock people. She wasn’t above trying to pull the wool over your eyes either if she wanted us to do something for her, often pulling out the “poor widowed mother” excuse. In later life, she had no filter to what she said-often embarrassing her youngest daughter on shopping trips or at medical appointments.

Mom was predeceased by her husband, Howard, her son, Lauren, her parents, George and Emma Schappert (née Lowenberger), siblings Albert Schappert, Robert Schappert, Gertrude Rilling, Evelyn Hokanson, Lillian Bessel, Florence Bessel, Carl Shappert, Marie Schappert, Walter Schappert, and Harvey Schappert. Left to mourn her loss are her daughters, Marianne Brenner and Shelley Brenner, both of Regina, her daughter-inlaw, Sandra Brenner (Terry Ross) of Yorkton and her family, sisters-inlaw Frances Schappert (Sylvan Lake), Shirley Shappert (Ottawa), Arleen (Don) Gray (Esterhazy), Lorraine (Bernie) Welke (Saskatoon), Jean Brenner (Churchbridge), brothers-in-law Walter Brenner (Yorkton), Arnold (Verna) Brenner (Churchbridge), and numerous nieces and nephews.

Many thanks to Doctor Lotz of Stapleford Medical Clinic and to all the wonderful staff at Regina Lutheran Home for their exceptional care of our mother. The funeral service was held on Friday, September 14, 2018 from Zion Lutheran Church in Yorkton with Rev. Howard Ulmer officiating.

Organist, Verna Liebrecht led the congregation in the singing of the hymns ‘Amazing Grace’, ‘Beautiful Saviour’, and ‘How Great Thou Art’.

The interment followed in the Yorkton Memorial Gardens with Rod Bessel, Bernie Welke, Rob Schappert and Bob Bessel serving as the casketbearers. Memorials were to the Canadian Mental Health Association, Saskatchewan Branch, or to the Alzheimers Society. Condolences can be left at baileysfuneralhome.com.

WITHERSPOON - July 1, 1922 to August 25, 2018. Lena Witherspoon was born and raised in the Whitesand District, the daughter of Michall and Donna (nee Popovych) Stefanyshyn.

She attended White Sand School. She got her grade 8 and started grade 9, and the teacher said she couldn’t go any further unless she moved away to finish her schooling. There was no money for that. She quit school, much to her dismay. She moved to Yorkton where she lived with a family and kept house in exchange the lady was to teach her hair dressing. That didn’t work so well so she went to work in restaurants. She met Ed and they married on November 9, 1943. They raised their family in Yorkton. She went to work for the Yorkton Co-op in the cafeteria on September 1, 1966 and worked her way up to managing the West Broadway Café. She worked there until Ed got sick and she stayed home to care for him. She lived in the family home for a number of years after Ed’s passing. She moved into town and lived in a couple of apartments and eventually Queen Elizabeth Court until she could no longer care for herself. She went to Lake Side Manor Care Home on January 18, 2018 where she passed away. Lena leaves to mourn her three daughters, Audry (Gerald) Leniuk of Yorkton, Judy (Allan) Filipchuk of Canora Beach and Sharon (Gordon) Hoffman of Lethbridge, eleven grandchildren, sixteen great grandchildren and one greatgreat granddaughter. A Funeral Service for Lena was held on September 8, 2018 at St. Andrew’s United Church with Rev. Jen Dresser presiding.

Hymns sung were Precious Lord, Take My Hand, In The Garden, and Beyond The Sunset. Family members Michael, Clayton, Kirby and Jerry were urn bearers, and Kim was the urn leader. Lena was committed to her final rest in the Yorkton City Cemetery. Donations in memory of Lena may be made to the Recreation Program at Saltcoats Lakeside Manor Care Home.

The great hipster takeover Halifax breeds hipsters like Europe bred the bubonic plague in the 1300s. On every street and wharf, and in every artisanal cafe and craft brewery, you’ll find an army of heavily-tattooed, scarf-covered, immaculately-groomed sentient beards discussing the latest Mac DeMarco album as they sip on locallysourced tea. The average Haligonian is not the stereotypical fisherman; they are a walking embodiment of an Animal Collective song.

I love hipsters; they’re some of my best friends. I also hate hipsters; they’re some of my worst enemies. I love the diverse genres of music, film, and literature hipsters enjoy.

I also despise how snobbish the typical hipster can be when you tell them you only have a passing familiarity with The Flaming Lips’ discography. I love the hipster’s willingness to step of their comfort zone and try something new just for the sake of it. I also hate how unwilling they are to even try to like something from the mainstream. I love hipsters because I see so much of myself in them. I also hate them because I see so many of my bad qualities in them.

Clearly, my feelings on

hipsters run hot and cold, often at the same time.

Out here in the Prairies, I haven’t thought about hipsters in months. In Yorkton (and nearly every community I’ve visited), I’ve seen neither hide nor hair of any hipster. I thought the harsh winter climate or flat vistas didn’t agree with the average hipster’s temperament. They were as scarce in Saskatchewan as they are abundant in Nova Scotia. I actually found myself missing those pretentious people.

In Halifax, they were a constant that reminded you everything was right and normal. They were like the daily trains that rip through Yorkton; I might not like them, but they’re oddly comforting.

Well, I found out Saskatchewan isn’t wholly bereft of hipsters; they’re just tucked away up north.

I visited Saskatoon for the first time last weekend. It was the last major Saskatchewan city on my bucket list, so I decided to check it out before we’re buried in snow in a few weeks (I pray I’m joking). I strolled along the river, roamed the Remai Modern art gallery, and manoeuvred through the busy streets. It’s a nice place, but it hides a sinister secret: The hipsters

Saskatchewan isn’t totally hipster-free. Sure, some hipsters are pretentious, smug, and annoying. But, for me, no city feels complete without a collection of the bespectacled culture snobs.

Much like The Dude’s rug in The Big Lebowski, they tie everything together. I’m glad they’ve found refuge in Saskatoon.

Now, if I find out there’s a strong contingent of crust punks in Prince Albert, my mind will be well and truly blown.

penders, and trimmed moustaches were the norm. People enjoyed live music as they feasted on crackers, fruit, and cheesecake. A stack of community papers rested in a corner. I’d been transported back to every coffee shop in Halifax.

After that, I saw hipsters everywhere.

They’re overflowing in Saskatoon. They thrive best in big cities, harnessing their power.

Saskatoon is a concentrated shot of hipsterdom.

Ottenbreit marks cancer awareness Rural and Remote Health Minister Greg Ottenbreit recently joined with parents and youth at a flagraising ceremony at the Legislative Building last week to mark Childhood and Youth Cancer Awareness Month in September.

“As the parent of a child lost to cancer, along with my own recent, personal experience fighting the disease, I know what the effects of this illness can be, not only on the patient, but also on family, friends, and loved ones,” Ottenbreit said.

“Recognizing September as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is an important step in improving the quality of care for patients, and ultimately, finding a cure. I want to thank everyone, from health care professionals to advocates, who have championed this important cause.”

Parents and youth raised a childhood cancer awareness flag, and spoke of the effects that childhood cancer has had on their families, along with the continued need for prevention and treatment.

The Ministry of Health has proclaimed

September as Childhood and Youth Cancer Awareness Month, which will be observed each year in recognition of the impact that cancer has on the lives of children, youth and families across Saskatchewan.

“It is important for the community to remember that kids get cancer, too,” Regina childhood Cancer Awareness Advocate Sherri Melnychuk said.

“The gold ribbon worn during Childhood Cancer Awareness month helps raise awareness of childhood cancer, as children are more precious than gold. We owe it to the children to support childhood cancer research, more effective treatments, and improved quality of care.”

Sherri Melnyhcuck is the Regina representative of Small But Mighty, an organization that helps raise awareness of childhood cancer. The Melnychuks lost their four-year-old daughter Ava Hope to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in 2011.

The number of new pediatric patients seen provincially at Saskatchewan’s two cancer centres typically ranges from 40 to 60 each
