Rededication for cairn

Staff Photo by Devin Wilger

When the Royal Canadian Legion Alexander Ross Branch #77 moved out of their former home on Broadway, the cairn at the site had to be moved to another location. With the help of the City of Yorkton, the new location is on Darlington St.

near the cenotaph. The cairn also received an addition, telling the story of why the cairn was moved and adding a dedication to Canadian soldiers involved in more recent conflicts. The cairn was rededicated on Oct. 13.

Yorkton goes green with new Act By Sean Mott Staff Writer Welcome to the newer and slightly greener Canada. After years of promises, debates, and delays, marijuana is ready for consumption. Recreational cannabis use was

legalized in Canada today, opening the doors for businesses and consumers. Bill C-45, known as the Cannabis Act, received Royal Assent this past summer. It allowed for the legalization and regulation of cannabis across Canada.

Yorkton will have two legal cannabis dispensaries in the city: Fire and Flower (based in Alberta) and 5Buds Cannabis (based in Saskatchewan). The latter store is planning to open some time in 2019. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re waiting for their new building on Broadway Street East to be

completed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making sure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready for the community,â&#x20AC;? said Corey Tyacke, the general manager of retail stores for 5Buds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We take it very seriously.â&#x20AC;? The two stores won a license lottery earlier this year, snagging a chance to operate in the

city. While cannabis sale and use is now permissible, stores that operate without a license will technically be breaking the law. Cannabis legalization doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean Saskatchewan is now a weed-soaked wild West;

Deer Park Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club to upgrade course By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The Deer Park Golf Club is getting upgrades to two holes next year. The first, and one that was already approved, was an upgrade to Hole 8

moving it up from the low level where it currently sits to get it out of the water when it rains. The second is Hole 7, which was also identified by the Deer Park Master Plan to need upgrades. The Deer Park Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Club (DPMC) appeared before council on Oct. 9 to present their plan for paying for additional work to upgrade the two holes at the same time. The DPMCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan was to pay the additional $135,000 with a combina-

tion of a large payment and a loan from the city. The first part would be an initial $65,000 donation from DPMC to the project, followed by a six year loan from the city on the remaining $70,000. Mayor Bob Maloney

said that accepting the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal, which council did unanimously, was an obvious choice. He noted that the DPMC has a long history of funding the course, and previous loans for similar projects have been paid

back without difficulty, so it was natural that the council would accept the proposal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Deer Park Golf Course is the rock star of our recreation facilities when it comes to paying

Council cautious about Whitesand Drive By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The project to improve the drainage around Whitesand Drive has hit a roadblock, after the lone bid for construction on the project came back much higher than the

City of Yorkton had anticipated. The initial budget for the project was $700,000, which would see the drainage pipe size increased from 450mm to 1,200mm. This plan was approved on the Jul. 16, 2018 regular council

meeting. The city received a lone bid on the project. The bid was for 2019 construction from Wyonzek Bros. Const. Ltd. in the amount of $1,121,575.08, taxes included. In negotiating with the construction company, adminis-

tration was able to lower the cost to $808,686.45, for a total project total of $1,200,000. The $500,000 beyond the approved budget would be allocated to the 2019 capital budget. While it comes to the significantly higher price

tag, Rene Richard, Director of Engineering, explained that when it came to the detailed design, a number of conflicts with other utilities were discovered which increased the cost of the project. City council was not

pleased with the significant increase of the cost of the project. Councillor Aaron Kienle wanted to know if there were other options. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We heard in the last meeting how pressing it is and how it keeps

GREEN Continued from Page A1 there are a buffet of rules and restrictions to cannabis use in the province. People must be at least

19-years-old to purchase and consume cannabis. Users can carry a maximum of 30 grams of cannabis in public. Canadians who’d prefer to grow their cannabis plants at

home can do so, although there is a four plant limit. Public consumption of cannabis is prohibited or restricted to certain areas, depending on the city. Much like alcohol,

there will be a zero-tolerance policy for operating vehicles while under the influence of cannabis. Tyacke thinks cannabis legalization in Canada will

serve as an example in the global community for how to handle decriminalization of certain drugs. “A lot of countries are looking to [Canada],” he said.

are very active, they put money into the course, and any time you have groups like that coming forward you have to support them.”

Beyond that, the holes are in need of work and the sooner that work can be completed, the better it is for golfers who use the course, explained Maloney. “There are definitely drainage problems at one of

the greens, it tends to be underwater every spring, it’s been something they’ve noticed for a number of years that improvements need to be made.” Council unanimously approved the proposal.

becoming an issue, but to me it’s a tough ask... This is something where it is affecting a single street. There is no doubt about it, I feel terrible for them and something needs to be done, however it’s a rather large project for that one street, coming in at the same as the entire cost of Broadway to repave.” Councillor Ken Chyz was largely concerned with putting the remainder of the budget for the project in the 2019 capital budget. He wanted adminis-

tration to look at other funding for the project, such as projects that were under budget, or the surplus from 2017. He stated that without the hit to the future capital budget he would have supported the project. “My concern is that we’re adding things onto the capital budget for next year and we haven’t even started yet. I’m thinking we should start at ground zero rather than starting $500,000 in the hole.” Mayor Bob Maloney reminded council that the problems on Whitesand Drive would not

go away without doing the work. “If we do what we need to do, that problem will be looked after, and we won’t have to look at this again.” City manager Lonnie Kaal warned council that it was possible that the negotiated prices would no longer be applicable if the decision was delayed three weeks, putting the city at risk of requiring a re-tender for the project, depending on the position of the contractor. If they delayed it to capital

budget time in December, Kaal said, it was very unlikely that the bid would still be available. A single councillor, Randy Goulden, voted to go along with administration’s recommendation to accept the bid and put the remainder of the budget on the 2019 capital budget. Kienle thought that rejecting the current plan wouldn’t have a major effect on the project. “This isn’t going to delay the project, the project is still going to happen, potentially in

2019, whether we approve today or we take a look at it in our 2019 budget. All I am saying is it’s a big decision with a big price tag on it that is potentially going to upset people who have been dealing with flooding year after year as well who haven’t been getting funding. I think we need to take a closer look at it.” Council instead voted to delay approval of the bid until the next meeting of council on Oct. 29, to explore alternate funding for the balance of the budget.

Flu shot clinics begin on Oct. 22 By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Flu season is fast approaching, which means that the time to get flu shots is coming just as quickly. Starting Oct. 22, flu shots will be available at clinics throughout the city and at pharmacies in the area. Dr. Ashok Chhetri recommends everyone get their flu shot this season. The influenza virus, most commonly known as the flu, is highly contagious, one of the top ten infectious diseases affecting the Canadian population. The difference between influenza and the common cold virus is the quick onset. “You go to work in the morning and you are completely fine, and when you come home at night you are completely down, just like you were hit by a truck,” said Chhetri. Symptoms include fever, headache, cough, muscle aches, and runny

nose. In children and elderly people, fever may not be present with influenza, said Chhetri. It spreads person to person though droplets, when people with the virus cough or sneeze. It is also possible to get it indirectly though touching a surface with the virus on it and touching your face. One of the unique things with influenza is the period of communicability, explained Chhetri. People can begin to spread the disease before they have symptoms. The communicability period is one day before symptoms and five days after. “You might be infecting your coworkers, patients, family members before you even know about it.” The people who are more prone to get complications are seniors, children under 5, pregnant women, and adults and children with existing chronic conditions, like

diabetes or heart disease. While there are plenty of people who believe they are not at risk, Chhetri recommends that they get a flu shot as well. The reason is not to avoid the disease, but instead to stop the transmission of the disease. While many healthy people might not show symptoms, they could still infect people around you, and vaccination is the best way to stop yourself from being a carrier of the disease.

Cadets brave the cold for training weekend By Devin Wilger Staff Writer This past weekend wasn’t ideal for being outdoors. Cold weather, wind, and snow conspired to make it a weekend where most people would not be willing to sit outside in a tent. L i e u t e n a n t Dominique Hayden, training officer Captain Colin McInnes, commanding officer of the Yorkton Army Cadets, and roughly 70 kids spent the weekend outdoors at York Lake as part of a training exercise. Kids from the local Yorkton troupe were joined by kids from Melville, Wadena, Humboldt, and one cadet from Naicam. Four of the five corps were artillery corps. The kids learned how to build shelter, both planned and improvised, how to navigate their surroundings and how to set up camp. The weather, naturally, was the biggest challenge of the weekend, and Hayden joked that her own tent was frozen. The training exercise emphasized the importance of being able to set up your shelter.

“That’s one of the most important lessons we can teach them, that if you stay dry you can stay warm, getting a shelter up as quickly as possible will get you out of the rain,” said McInnes. “If you can make it this entire weekend, you can make it the other two training weekends we hold in the year,” said Hayden. While the challenge of the weekend was camping through the cold and wind, the goal in the end was to have fun and have the kids bond over the weekend. While kids from Yorkton and Melville might know each other well, this was an opportunity to meet corps they otherwise would not see very often, and hopefully make some friends in the process. “You won’t see them every day, especially the Humboldt and Naicam kids,” Hayden said. In spite of the weather, they hope the kids have fun and make a lot of memories over the weekend. “If they leave with a smile, that’s the number one, because you know they will be back,” Hayden said.

Cadets gathered at York Lake to gain some survival skills and bond with corps from near and far with a training exercise. Pictured, cadets practiced building improvised shelters and built up their camp to make it more hospitable over the cold weekend.

Politics No government should ever be condemned for focusing on jobs. Jobs represent the well being of their constituents, which should be the foremost concern of an local elected official. But jobs are also something that falls within the jurisdiction of local politicians and sticking to what is in your purview is an important and often over-looked aspect of governance. If you think about it, this is why global warming initiatives are failing. By definition, global warming is a “global issue” — not an issue for local or provincial or even federal politicians to handle. Maybe this is precisely why we are struggling mightily to get a handle on the matter. So it isn’t surprising that the Saskatchewan Party government is prioritizing good-paying jobs in its fight against the federal carbon tax. Of course, there is also the Sask. Party argument that the federal government’s carbon tax isn’t actually an effective way of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, anyway. We remain a resource-based economy where the burning of fossil fuel — be it for farming, mining, manufacturing or the oil sector — is a necessity. Pricing carbon might not change our way of life, but it will surely make it more expensive — something that the federal government doesn’t seem to get. Irritating to many in this sparsely populated, rural, agrarian part of the country, is the fact it’s not simply a case of using more public transportation to reduce our fossil fuel consumption. We still need fuel for the very machinery that drives our economy. And a big part of that economy is fossil fuel itself. Finally, our source of electricity is mostly fuelled by coal. Sure, there have been efforts to move away from coal, which is a good thing. One such initiative towards less GHG emission output is SaskPower’s 350-megawatt natural gas Chinook Power Station near Swift Current. Such initiatives even demonstrate how there are may be a few other jobs to found in the economy other than the traditional work in this province. But all this takes us back to the job question … and perhaps the need for the Sask. Party government to take a look at job issues from a more fulsome perspective. Let’s accept that the carbon tax fight is about preserving jobs (with, of course, a little politics thrown in, as was evident in the recent visit by Ontario Progressive Conservative Premier Doug Ford). And let’s also accept this is an important fight, as the monthly job statistics for the province seem to indicate. The latest Saskatchewan job statistics for September show a slight increase by 3,300 more people working from September 2017. However, that good news was tempered by a rise in unemployment as well, the notion that Alberta seems to recovering more quickly and that the economists for RBC are describing Saskatchewan’s job recovering as “surprisingly weak.” Given this situation, the Sask. Party government is obligated to do what it can to ensure good-paying jobs are available to workers in this province. But consider this in the context of NDP Opposition concerns that most of the 640 construction workers at the Swift Current Chinook work site seem to be from out of province. “The procurement process is not working as it should,” said NDP Leader Ryan Meili. One gets that interprovincial trade agreements like the New West Partnership makes it more difficult for provinces to place restrictions on out-of-province contractors. But remember: A year ago this Sask. Party was eager to tax out-of-province license plates at Saskatchewan job sites in retaliation to unproven allegations that the Alberta government was engaging in similar favouritism. Shouldn’t the Saskatchewan government be as vigilant about protecting existing jobs as it is about losing future jobs to a carbon tax? After all, that’s what provincial politicians are supposed to do. Murray Mandryk has been covering provincial politics for over 22 years.

◆Editorial◆

The Cannabis Act: the good and bad T

oday, the Cannabis Act, which creates a legal framework for controlling the production, distribution, sale and possession of cannabis across Canada, comes into effect. The Act is seen by some as a dark day in this country’s history. There is a fear the country is, at best, simply not ready for the change, and, at worst, that the Act will open the door for a huge increase in cannabis consumption, with users heading out on the highways and into work under the influence. In Saskatchewan there is at least some reason for the concern since the province has one of the worst records for driving while under the influence of alcohol in Canada. When RCMP Assistant Commissioner Curtis Zablocki, Commander “F” Division, gave a presentation on Policing and Community Safety to a recent East Central Region meeting of the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association held in the city, he noted our dismal record of impaired driving. In RCMP jurisdictions in Saskatchewan, there are nearly seven impaired driving charges laid daily, which might lead to the conclusion we may see that trend continued with drivers taking to the wheel while under the influence of cannabis. Of course, concerns over driving under the influence of cannabis ring a tad hollow in a province that has opened the doors to a plethora of new liquor outlets, making it easier than ever to access alcohol. It also seems unlikely that there will

be a line-up of people who have not used cannabis before suddenly lining up for the experience. Let’s face it, regardless of law enforcement efforts to stop illegal cannabis through the years, it has been a rather easily accessible product for those wanting to use it. So what will the Act actually mean to Canadians? Well, there will be some growing pains with the Act. It contains specific regulations over amounts a person can hold. Cannabis edible products and concentrates won’t be legal for sale until approximately one year after today. How the Act will be enforced will also take time to sort out. That responsibility lies with the provinces and municipalities and it is unclear how ready Saskatchewan may be as our government has balked at the process almost every step of the way. There is an expectation that legalization will lead to cannabis being a revenue generator for government, something that has happened to varying degrees in American states that have legalized cannabis. It may not be the financial panacea some envision, but like alcohol and cigarettes, it will be a source of revenue people pay to the government only if they choose to use cannabis, which is at least better than a general tax hitting everyone. The coming months will ultimately be a time of adjustment for many in terms of cannabis use and legislation, but it is not likely to be the disaster some fear, nor will it be a flawless system, either.

Partners in Employment thanked Home Inn and Suites for their inclusive workplace.

Value Village celebrates Disability Awareness Month with its employees.

The benefit to hiring people with disabilities By Devin Wilger Staff Writer At businesses across Yorkton, employers are hiring people with disabilities. Disability Employment Awareness Month (DEAM) is meant to celebrate these businesses and their support for diversity in the workplace, and encourage more employers to have a more diverse workforce and give people with disabilities the chance to help their business. Claire Maddison, Employment Services senior supervisor at Partners in Employment, said they want to recognize employers they work with, but they also want to use it as a ‘call to action’ to get more employers on board. Staples, Value Village, and the Town of Saltcoats each worked with Partners in Employment to produce videos

about the inclusion in their workplace that they shared on social media. Maddison said the videos show how the diversity in those businesses help them. “It’s providing value to them, hiring individuals with disabilities, and they’ve been doing it for a number of years.” Another thing they are doing to support the businesses is something called a “cash mob,” explained Maddison. They pop up in retail businesses that are part of the program and tell people the business is an inclusive employer and encourage them to spend more money at that store. The end goal of the month is to encourage people to employ more people with disabilities. Maddison said there are many advantages to doing so. Disabled employees are often more loyal than other employees for example – 72 per cent

higher employee retention according to the Canadian Association of Supported Employment (CASE) –and their productivity is at the same rate as their non-disabled coworkers – according to CASE, 90 per cent of disabled employees are equally productive. “A lot of employers have misconceptions... Often, when we talk to employers, individuals with disabilities will end up out-performing some of the other individuals because, you know what, they want to prove a point, that they are just as valuable.” While a disability might affect the employee’s life, they work with Partners in Employment to find out what they can do, so it doesn’t affect their job performance. Maddison said many employers call Partners in Employment because they’ve had successful work place-

ments in the past. She also notes that many employees have hidden disabilities, such as mental illness. “We still deal with that stigma that a disability is a very visual thing, if you’re in a wheelchair you definitely have a disability. Really we’re dealing with people in all walks of like with an array of different disabilities.” Partners in Employment works with clients and businesses to help make the job placements work, looking at the workplace to see how their potential employees could fit. They also assist with training the new employee. While there may be accommodation necessary for employees with a disability, the changes are often a benefit to all employees at the business. Sometimes it just means adjusting job descriptions,

which can make a business more efficient overall as jobs are re-assigned. Sometimes it just means re-arranging an office to make it easier to move around.

She used the example of a young man with cerebral palsy who had difficulty walking. The main change the business had to make involved moving around some furniture and getting wires off of the floor, effectively free changes that also made the business safer for existing employees after a tripping hazard was removed.

“That benefitted not only him, but the other people who were accessing that space too. We do get involved in more complicated things as well... But, to be honest with you, it’s very seldom that we have to do that. It speaks to how few accommodations people actually need in the workplace.”

Council Meeting Monday, October 29, 2018 at 5:00 p.m. BYLAW FAST FACTS

Front Yard Hedge Height Did you know? The Zoning Bylaw No. 14/2003 requires that hedges, fences and walls extending beyond the front corner of your house be no more than 1 metre (3.3 ft) in height. On corner lots, hedges, fences and walls within the sight triangle are to be no more than 0.6 metres (2.0 ft) in height as depicted below.

CITIZEN RECOGNITION AWARDS – CALL FOR NOMINATIONS The Citizen Recognition Awards Committee was formed in January, 2018, to develop a program to annually acknowledge and reward individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the City in various capacities. Nominees do not need to reside in Yorkton, but their work must be within the boundaries of the city. The Committee will be tasked with reviewing nominations received from the public and selecting recipients for the awards in two categories: 1. Adult Civic Recognition – Presented to a citizen to recognize the selfless support the individual has made towards the betterment of the City of Yorkton. 2. Youth Civic Recognition – Presented to a citizen, under the age of eighteen (18) years old prior to December 31 of the current year, to recognize contributions made by the individual towards the betterment of the City of Yorkton. The Committee is seeking nominations from the public for this process. Call for nominations is open from October 1 – 31, 2018. Nomination forms are available during that time at the City Clerk’s Office City Hall, or by download from the City of Yorkton website: www.yorkton.ca. Nomination forms may be submitted online on the City of Yorkton website, by surface mail, or hand delivered to:

Why does the City regulate this? In the interest of public safety, limiting the height of hedges reduces visual obstructions for people backing out driveways, walking down the street, turning corners, etc

City Hall c/o City Clerk’s Office – 2nd Floor 37 Third Avenue North P.O. Box 400 Yorkton, Saskatchewan S3N 2W3 Winners will be announced at the December 2018 Council Meeting and celebrated at the first Council Meeting in January 2019.

Men have breast tissue just like women, but their breasts are less developed. Breast cancer in men is similar to the disease in women, but there are some differences. For the most part, breast cancer in men is treated like breast cancer in women who have reached menopause (when the ovaries stop making estrogen). Less than 1% of all breast cancers occur in men. Researchers estimate that 230 new cases of breast cancer in men were diagnosed in Canada in 2017 and that 60 men died from the disease.

Survival Statistics for Breast Cancer in Men

North 40 Fabrics

Survival statistics are very general estimates and must be interpreted very carefully. Because these statistics are based on the experience of groups of people, they cannot be used to predict a particular person’s chances of survival. Net survival represents the probability of surviving cancer in the absence of other causes of death. It is used to give an estimate of the percentage of people who will survive their cancer. In Canada, the 5-year net survival for breast cancer in men is 79%. This means that, on average, about 79% of men diagnosed with breast cancer will survive for at least 5 years.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Canadian women, with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer. While it can also be found in men, male breast cancer is a very rare occurrence. Breast cancer starts in the cells of the mammary gland. Breast tissue covers a larger area than just the breast, extending up to the collarbone and from the armpit to the breastbone. • In 2017 an estimated 26,300 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 5,000 will die of it. • Breast cancer accounts for approximately 26% on new cases of cancer and 13% of all cancer deaths in Canadian women. • 1 in 8 women are expected to develop breast cancer during her lifetime and 1 in 31 will die of it. • In 2009, an estimated 157,360 women were living with, or surviving from, breast cancer in Canada. That means that 1 in 107 Canadian women were diagnosed with breast cancer at some point during the 10 years prior to 2009. • Almost all breast cancers start in the glandular tissue of the breast and are known as adenocarcinomas. Cancer cells may start within the ducts (ductal carcinoma) or lobules (lobular carcinoma). Ductal carcinoma is the most common type of breast cancer, accounting for approximately 90% of all in situ breast carcinomas and 70% of all invasive breast carcinomas. https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/chronic-diseases/cancer/breast-cancer.html

The love-hate of trees There is an old adage about history often repeating itself, and that might just be the case when it comes to farm shelterbelts. As long as there have been farms, farmers have always had a sort of love-hate relationship with trees. My grandfather homesteaded in Saskatchewan more than a century ago now, and I well-remember his stories about clearing the home quarter largely with an axe, horse and sweat. He talked about how, when the money ran out for homesteaders like himself, and he needed to replenish funds to allow him to continue clearing their land, there was only one

job option, to go swing an axe for a farmer with deeper pockets to afford help. The process took years, to the point the last few acres were still treed at a time grandpa could afford to bring in a cat to help clear it. Trees in the era of the homesteader were simply big weeds taking up valuable land they want to plant to crop. The Dirty Thirties changed that viewpoint a lot. The drought years of the 1930s meant topsoil was left to erode with the wind. The photographs of dust storms, and dirt-filled ditches left in their wake are memorable to anyone who has seen them.

Agriculture THIS WEEK

Calvin Daniels A solution to such erosion, or at least a barrier of some protection, was to plant tree shelterbelts. That was something my father’s generation often did. The rows of trees helped trap snow in winter to provide moisture, and slowed winds which protected against soil blowing away. With the widespread

adoption of zero-till farming techniques, erosion by wind and water became less of a concern a few decades ago. And with the emergence of larger and larger equipment shelterbelts were increasingly seen as a nuisance, and many farmers of my generation were once again chopping trees, albeit by mechanical means.

But a recent study is suggesting shelterbelts might actually help in terms of crop yields. Producers are always looking for ways to punch up yields, from looking at new ways to apply additional fertilizer, to the addition of micronutrient packages not even thought of 25-years ago. But could better yields be as simple as planting a row of trees across a field and leaving them to grow for the next few decades? A recent article in The Western Producer looks at a project by Shathi Akhter, a research scientist at Agriculture Canada’s research centre in

Indian Head, SK., which is suggesting it might indeed be an option. It is interesting how detailed research often shows data that runs counter to perception. Trees were largely thought to steal nutrients away from the crop, but that element may not be the whole story in terms of their influence on crop growth according to the initial research. It leaves one wondering if the next generation of farmer might be replacing the shelterbelts that were removed only a decade or so again? Calvin Daniels is Editor with Yorkton This Week.

Trade deal seen as relief by wheat group By Wheat Growers’ Director Cherilyn Nagel What a relief. We finally have an updated NAFTA—a new North American trade agreement, following more than a year of hardball negotiations and skyhigh levels of confusion and anxiety. From the standpoint of this farmer in Saskatchewan, I couldn’t ask for a much better outcome, in part because I was truly nervous about a much worse result. The initial public conversation around ending NAFTA caught me off guard. I’ve learned my lesson…Take nothing for granted, including the world’s most rock-solid economic partnerships. The experts are still looking over the fine print of the deal, which has now been titled the “USMCA,” for the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. At this early moment, I won’t pretend to be an expert on the details, though in time I expect to learn many of them. Most of what I know presently comes from press coverage and industry sources. The big news for wheat farmers in both Canada and the United States is that we’ve secured something called “reciprocal grading,” which is a fancy way of saying that we’ll start to treat registered varieties of wheat the same on both sides of the border. The bottom line is that the agreement will remove an unnecessary trade barrier, something

that was keeping me up at night. Grain farmers from both Canada and the USA have wanted this updated for a long time and now we’ve got it. Speaking of updates, it was not an oversight that biotech crops were not addressed in the original NAFTA. They were in trials but not yet available for any farmers. This new agreement acknowledges that technology has progressed in our sector and addresses the approval of biotechnology, including the new gene-editing tools. It’s a modern innovation that needed to be addressed. Another important change in agriculture trade involves the dairy sector. Under the USMCA, American dairy farmers will enjoy increased access to Canadian markets. Many commentators have interpreted this as a Canadian concession, and in a way this is true. Yet I’m also optimistic for Canadian dairy farmers. I am confident they can compete with anybody in the global market. The USMCA is of course about much more than agriculture. I won’t even begin to try to describe its complicated rules for automakers. I’m glad to see that we’ll retain NAFTA’s disputeresolution panels, which the United States had criticized. They’ll remain in place, largely because Canada insisted. As a mom, I smiled about this one. I can’t help but think of this as “playing by the rules” and that’s something I can explain to my

kids. The agreement also has a sunset clause, which means that it could expire in 16 years if the member nations don’t actively reaffirm it. My preference would be for something more permanent, but for now we’ll benefit from a stable set of rules at least until the 2030s. I was a kid when the original NAFTA agreement was put in place and it’ll be interesting to see how the next generation of farmers addresses this, years from now. Who am I kidding, I’ll still be sticking my nose in it too! For all of the unease these trade talks have generated, the final product looks similar to where we started, with each side giving a little and each side getting a little. Pundits will debate whether the USMCA is better or worse than the original NAFTA. They’ll discuss who gained the most and who gave the most. They’ll draw up lists of winners and losers. Allow me to take a different approach: With the USMCA, we’re all winners. That’s because we weren’t really choosing between NAFTA and the USMCA. NAFTA was dead and gone. It wasn’t coming back from the grave, no matter how hard we wanted to wish for a different reality. The actual choice was between the USMCA and nothing at all. By making the deal,

we’ve decided to forge ahead with a revised agreement that confronts the challenges of the 21st century. The alternative is to prefer a brokendown partnership—a failure that pushes us backward in time, making it harder for North Americans to exchange goods and services across borders. If I’ve learned anything from this experience, it’s that even our closest alliances require constant attention. Canada and the United States may share the world’s longest undefended border, but we can’t

assume that nothing will ever go wrong. Just as parents and kids (I can’t help the analogies) sometimes have challenging, heartto-heart conversations, sometimes nations have to renegotiate their trade agreements. Plenty of uncertainty lies ahead. The three USMCA nations still must ratify the deal that their trade diplomats have approved. But those are problems for another day. Right now, I’m just thankful that our countries have chosen to stick

together as neighbors, friends and yes trading partners. Cherilyn and her family own a diversified grain farm in Mossbank, Saskatchewan, Canada. In addition to farming, Cherilyn is active in many agricultural policy initiatives to improve the sustainability of agriculture and advocate for modern agricultural practices. Cherilyn volunteers as a board member for the Western Canadian Wheat Growers (www. wheatgrowers.ca) and the Global Farmer Network (www.globalfarmernetwork.org).

Treasure hunt The Yorkton Antique Auto Club was the host of the Last Chance Swap Meet and Flea Market, which saw vendors bring a wide range of treasures, including antiques, car parts, toys and comic books, to entice buyers looking for a

hidden treasure or a great deal among the many things on display. All money raised by the club went to support charities in the area.

Computer cleanse “Huh, they weren’t kidding,” I thought to myself last Wednesday. “Gary Oldman’s haircut really does look like two melted cobwebs fused to a bowling ball.” I was watching Francis Ford Coppola’s failed ‘90s comeback “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” as I absentmindedly filled a crossword. I’d heard endless complaints and praises for the film in high school and college and I’ve watched the Simpsons parody episode dozens of times, but I’d never seen the genuine article. That night, I had some free time on my hands, so when I saw the gothic romance classic on Netflix, I gave it a whirl.

It’s the definition of a mixed bag. The overall plot structure and dialogue (ripped wholesale from the original novel) seem to clash with the film’s modern depictions of gore and sexuality. Keanu Reeves delivers the worst performance of his career and probably the decade as the perpetually flummoxed Jonathan Harker. But the production design is absolutely gorgeous and Gary Oldman dominates every scene as the bloodthirsty count. It’s a middling picture, although its strengths just outweigh its weaknesses. As I watched “Dracula,” I asked myself why I don’t watch movies more often. I used to be a

voracious movie-watcher. I’d plough through entire film series in a matter of days. But I’ve noticed that I don’t watch as many flicks as I used to. I asked myself why I felt the desire to return to movies tonight as Gary Oldman transformed into a giant man-bat. As I looked over at my empty desk, I knew the answer: My computer was gone.

The Government of Saskatchewan has designated October 14-20, as Education Week in Saskatchewan. For more than 30 years, Saskatchewan has dedicated a week to celebrate student success and recognize the dedication and commitment of education professionals across the province. This year’s Education Week theme, A World of Learning for Every

Student, recognizes the multiple pathways to learning available to our students. It also highlights the important roles educators play in broadening the horizons and enriching the lives of Saskatchewan students. “Teachers and school support staff have a significant influence on the future of our youth,” Deputy Premier and Education Minister Gordon Wyant said.

“Throughout my visits to schools across the province, I have had the opportunity to see educators motivate, challenge, and support their students. We should all take a moment this week to celebrate the terrific work being done in Saskatchewan classrooms.” “Saskatchewan’s Adult Basic Education (ABE) program is an important part of the province’s

Something was wrong with my laptop. It was slow to start up, slow to load videos, and just slow in general. I’ve owned it for over two years and I noticed it wasn’t performing at its peak. Since my job depends on a functioning computer, I took the old girl into a repair shop. They said they’d have it fixed in two to three business days.

I went home and almost instinctively I thought about logging onto YouTube. It was second-nature. It took me a moment to remember I’d just dropped off my computer. I was going to be Internet-free this weekend. I didn’t know what to do with myself. I spend a majority of my time at work scrolling the web looking for story inspiration or typing up articles. When I need some cheap entertainment, I’ll read online columns debating the merits of French filmmakers, or I’ll throw on a YouTube music playlist, or I’ll just peruse the digital highway for prime memes. It’s a big part of my life.

I don’t think I’m addicted to my computer, but it has gradually assumed a major role in my day-to-day life. It’s a household fixture. I’ve sunk more hours than I care to admit into that black rectangle. So I was glad to have a forced vacation from my computer. It gave me a chance to reconnect with unread books, empty crosswords, and middling 90s horror movies. Sometimes we need a break from our Internet world. It’s an opportunity to see life beyond the glowing screen. Of course, once I got my computer back, I logged onto YouTube to see what I’d missed. I’m only human.

commitment to build a better quality of life for residents through education,” Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “This week, we celebrate the perseverance of adult learners and the dedication of educators who, through the ABE program, help students gain access to further educa-

tion, training or employment opportunities to advance their lives.” During Education Week, various events will be held in schools and school divisions across the province to showcase student success stories and honour the dedication of teachers, staff and volunteers who inspire and support students.

Celebrations will also be shared on social media using #SKedweek. For one of the many inspiring student success stories worth celebrating this year visit http:// www.saskatchewan.ca/ government/our-stories/ celebrating-inspiringachievements-and-innovative-student-driveninitiatives.

ART • ENTERTAINMENT • COMMUNITY

Ghostboy steps out of the shadows By Devin Wilger Staff Writer When you are on stage next to some of the biggest names in the business, you can feel like a ghost. Denis Dufresne and Aaron Young, the duo that makes up Ghostboy, chose their name because of how they felt being adjacent to the spotlight. Now they’re touring together and telling their own stories. They will be in Yorkton on Oct. 24 as part of the Yorkton Arts Council’s Stars for Saskatchewan series. The duo got their started due to a move, after Dufrense and Young wound up living a couple blocks away from each other, Dufresne said. Being right next door was a good opportunity to spend some time jamming together. They

decided to record it and put it on the internet. It caught on quickly. “As soon as I did that, people started asking about it, asking when are you going to make a record for yourselves, we started getting a lot of corporate work... We went well, there’s something to this, if people are asking about it we might as well do something about it.” They had never intended to start a band, but because of their chemistry and people getting interested, they realized they were on to something. “We were doing it just for the love of the music, the love of getting together, telling funny stories to each other,” Dufrense said. The initial videos were acoustic covers of a wide range

of artists, everyone from Drake to k.d. Lang. Because of their start, the band is actually preparing to release two albums, one of their original music and one of the covers that got the band started. When it comes to their original music, they didn’t want to stray too far from the sound that got them noticed, but they also had their own stories to tell. Playing together worked well, but writing together was equally natural for the duo, Dufrense said. “We’re inspired by Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard and Glen Campbell, the old country from the ‘70s. It’s like ‘70s country with a modern flair.” The show is going to be a mix of covers and originals, drawing from both of their

recorded albums. They will also draw on their long industry experience, playing songs from artists they played with during sessions or as touring musicians, such as Steven Tyler or Charlie Daniels. Dufrense said they like covering artists who they’ve met, toured with, or with which they have a personal connection. You will have to go to the show to hear the stories of these artists, but for Dufrense, one man stands out. “One of the things in our show is paying tribute to Gord Downie of the Tragically Hip. When you’re in the Canadian music scene, you get to meet some of these really cool people. Who left the biggest mark on us? Gord, any time you saw him at a festival he was always just so kind and just so gra-

cious, so when he passed away it was easy to go ‘we have to do something for him’” The extensive Saskatchewan tour will be a homecoming for the group, as Young is from Shaunavon and Dufresne is from Prince Albert. In Canora, they are also doing an afternoon show for kids, something Dufresne is eagerly anticipating. “We go in, we talk to the kids, try to get them pumped up about the potential of doing music as a profession, getting out of your small town, working hard at something you love, and being able to do it for a living.” Ghostboy will be playing at the Sacred Heart Theatre on Oct. 24 to kick off the Stars for Saskatchewan series. Tickets are available at yorktonarts.ca.

The days are definitely shorter, and if your garden clean-up is done, our garden season for this year is done! But you know gardeners! We’re always thinking ahead to next year, and it won’t be long till we start getting the 2019 seed catalogues. And here’s a new project to look forward to! Visit our website, www. yorktonhort.ca to learn about the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society’s new venture with the Yorkton Public Library, the Seed Library. This is a very exciting project for us! Seeds will soon be collected and filed and next February, eager gardeners can visit the library and “take out” new seeds to try! We’ll talk about it more as the date approaches. Planting new shrubs may be in your gardening future, and one that I have been noticing (with mixed reactions) is the low-growing juniper. There are many varieties of juniper to choose from for all kinds of yard requirements, but I wanted to learn more about the low-growing variety. This is a lovely shrub, growing less than a foot high, but with an amazing spread of several feet. It is a tough little shrub, able to tolerate less-thanperfect soil and dry conditions. As long as it has good drainage and full sun it seems happy! This shrub makes an excellent ground-cover, looks very elegant as it sweeps across your landscape, and is a fine choice is you have a slope in your yard and want to stabilize your soil. They don’t need a lot of care, just a bit of a haircut once in a while to shape the shrub. I read that we shouldn’t cut them back to the old wood, because it is difficult to get new growth from the old wood. Because the creeping juniper is so easy to get along with, growing just about anywhere, this is the very reason it must be used with care. Be sure that it is the right kind of juniper for your space. Ask the experts at the greenhouse to recom-

DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

Gardener’s Notebook mend the best choice for you. Tell them the maximum size of space that you have for a juniper, and let them choose a suitable variety. If you have gone for a leisurely walk or drive through any neighborhood, chances are you have seen situations where the good creeping juniper has gone bad: situations where the juniper has grown far outside its boundaries and has taken over a space, filling in a yard with dense, intertwined branches that completely obliterate the soil. Sometimes this is the goal, in problem areas, but quite often it is not. Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. I’m sure we have all seen yards where gardeners have tried to clear their space of this advancing wave of juniper, resulting in exhausted gardeners, trailers filled with juniper branches, and unsightly juniper

stumps that are very difficult to remove without the aid of a garden tractor and a lot of physical strain! Just like when it’s time for a haircut, and our hair goes from manageable one day to “bad-hair-day” the next, vibrant juniper growth creeps up on many gardeners, passing very quickly from manageable and attractive to unkempt and out of control. It is a continual lesson to all of us that we must choose the right plant for the right space, and be vigilant about dealing with it before it takes over. Do some homework, read up on the shrub you think you want, then ask the greenhouse experts for their recommendations. It will save a lot of work and disappointment! Visit the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society at www.yorktonhort.ca to see what’s new. Have a great week!

Yorkton This Week | www.YorktonThisWeek.com | Wednesday, October 17, 2018

When I learned about a former parishioner’s death from a mutual friend, the Preacher and I didn’t question whether to attend her funeral. Of course we’d go. Dorothy’s family (name changed) regularly attended our last church. A few years earlier, the Preacher had officiated at her husband’s funeral. Both were precious friends – the sort of people who make a clergyman’s job a joy. “It’s Saturday at two,” the Preacher said, quickly checking the announcement on the funeral home’s website. We cleared our calendars, inserted “Dorothy’s funeral,” and prepared a card. At the funeral home, we noticed a pair of casual friends in the foyer. I watched as they greeted people with hugs and earnest conversation. Small world, I thought. I never knew they had a connection to Dorothy, I thought. But then, the city’s not that big, I thought. I hugged them. “How lovely of you to come,” she said, seeming surprised. “Thank you for making time,” he said. “We wouldn’t have missed it,” I said. “But how were you connected to Dorothy?” “Dorothy? Dorothy? Don’t you mean Rhoda?” (name also changed.) I fumbled, suddenly sensing that any words I managed must first pass through the toes of the foot I’d unwittingly stuffed into my mouth. I glanced over at the Preacher. He seemed

equally discombobulated. The husband spoke, his voice kind. “Are you perhaps at the wrong funeral home?” I looked around. Couldn’t be. I saw someone I knew had also known Dorothy. One of those “everybody’s out of step but my Johnny,” moments darted into my synapses. Clearly, THEY’D come to the wrong funeral! “I don’t think so,” I stammered. “The website said Saturday at two....” Clarity struck with a disheartening thud. No. Somehow, we’d ended up at the funeral of the husband’s mother. Rhoda. A vibrant, caring woman we’d met just once, at one of my book signings. We both remembered her well. Clarity struck our friends too. I saw it on their faces. We hadn’t shown up to support them at all. We’d crashed their family funeral. Arrived by accident, not intention. I wanted to run. I wished to be vaporized. I prayed to be transported. The Preacher found

his tongue. Managed the perfect words. “Oh, no. We’re staying right here.”

Grabbing my elbow, he steered me, still stuttering, into the chapel.

PEACE OF MIND...

Once seated, he checked his phone. “Right place, wrong date,” he whispered. “Dorothy’s funeral isn’t for two weeks.” I faced forward, mortified, wondering if our friends would ever talk to us again. As the service progressed, as the familiar holy atmosphere of sacred readings, loving farewell and fond memories surrounded us, I calmed. Rhoda’s son and

his wife have a reputation for blessing others, including us, with their quiet kindness and cheer. Suddenly it seemed that we were in exactly the right place – among other friends supporting them on this hard day. A Divine appointment. Those who follow Christ are called to share each other’s joys and sorrows. I count that a privilege, even when it happens by accident.

Maulers struggle to find their stride By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton RawTec Maulers are struggling early in the Saskatchewan AAA Midget Hockey League. The Maulers have found only one win in nine starts for two points to sit 11th in the 12-team league. Mauler head coach Kevin Rawlick said the problem starts with discipline. Rawlick said some of the penalties have been obvious but there are too many where the players are getting behind and reach out with their sticks. “They’re trying to understand what they can get away with, but some of it’s not moving their feet … lazy penalties,” he said. And the number of penalties has taxed the defence. “We’ve got to figure out a way to stay out of the box,” he said, adding the Mauler penalty kill is only operating at a 14 per cent success rate. “It’s the chicken before the egg. Are we that bad (on the penalty kill) or gassed from taking too many?” Rawlick said it is a situation that has the Maulers back at the drawing board, looking at the opportunity to use different players on the PK, as well as different set plays while short-handed. Beyond the penalty kill, Rawlick said the team has to settle and gain some confidence as they focus on getting the .500 mark. “Five-hundred gets you a lot in this league. It usually gets you into

the playoffs. It gets you a team building confidence,” he said. That process will mean getting beyond a bad set of three losses on home ice. The Maulers hosted Regina last Wednesday, Oct. 10, and were pummeled 9-1 by the visitors. Things did not get much better on the weekend as the Beardys Blackhawks visited the Farrell Agencies Arena for a pair of games. The Blackhawks held a 2-0 lead after 20-minutes of play and added three unanswered goals in the second to extend the lead to 5-0. The third period was more of the same as the visitors added two, while Mauler shooters failed to solve Tyler Peterson, who turned away all 25 Yorkton shots to round out a 7-0 win for Beardys. The teams met again Sunday, with the Maulers finding some offence early. Goals by Massen Ziola and Carter Dereniwsky scored in the first period gave the home team a 2-1 lead through 20 minutes. It was a reverse of fortunes as Kylen Taphorn scored the Maulers’ only goal of the second period, sandwiched between two Beardys’ goals, leaving the teams deadlocked 3-3 after two periods. In the third, the Blackhawks pulled ahead with a pair of goals and held the lead the rest of the way as the two teams exploded for seven third period markers. Only two of the seven were from Mauler shooters (Jayden Harris and Tanner Hoffman), who scored in the eventual 8-5 loss.

The Yorkton RawTec Maulers took on the Beardys Blackhawks on two games over the weekend.

The Maulers lost 7-0 in the Saturday game against Beardys, pictured above.

The Sacred Heart Saints’ tough season continued with a 34-14 loss to the Foam Lake Panthers.

Saints continue to weather tough season By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The Sacred Heart High School Saints have had a tough season, but they are not giving up. That spirit was evident in their most recent contest against the Foam Lake Panthers at SHHS, where the team put together two late-game touchdowns to get on the board. The game ended with a score of 34-14. Coach Nick Jonassen said the game was a result of two teams playing hard, but they were

happy to be able to get on the board against Foam Lake, which is the team to beat in the league. “It was nice having a closer score against one of the better teams in the league.” While they had a point deficit, they did not give up. Jonassen is proud of what the team accomplished in the last plays of the game. He’s also happy to see many of the younger players starting to step up and get big plays. “We had Michael Wessa get his first sack of

the season, probably the first sack of his career.” The mission for the team now is to take the momentum from the final minutes against the

Panthers through practice and to the final game of the season. The next action for the Saints is in Esterhazy, underneath the lights at 7

situation would be to have another, but with one key difference: having the Saints wind up with the winning score.

CFL pivot position is just fine During a conversation the other day, the Canadian Football League came up and a couple of fellow sports fans questioned the level of quarterbacking talent currently in the league. Their shared position was that the level was at a decidedly low ebb, a point I do not share. I do, however, understand as a Saskatchewan Roughrider fan you might have a somewhat jaded view of the position because Zach Collaros has now exactly thrown up a storm at just more than 200-yards per game and with more interceptions than touchdowns. But the ‘Rider quarterbacking position alone cannot be used as a measure of the current talent. So let’s just look at the position with a league-

wide perspective. Firstly, injuries are a fact of life in football. Ricky Ray, arguably one of the best in league history, has been out since game two of the season. He may not return at all and that will diminish the overall quality at the position, at least for a time. Travis Lulay sadly is injury prone. When healthy, he can play the position at a high level, but his career will not be viewed as a great one because of repeated stints on the DL. But there are still some outstanding QBs. The pair in Alberta (Mike Reilly and Bo Levi Mitchell) are on pace to be hall of famers if they stay healthy. Jeremiah Masoli might be the best in the game right now and

CALVIN DANIELS

Sports Trevor Harris is completing close to 70 per cent of his passes. The key for all four is they are doing great things in the face of adversity, as wide receivers have headed to the injury list in distressing numbers including stars such as Manny Arceneaux, Chris Williams, Jalen Saunders, Derel Walker and Kamar Jorden. The CFL has done a good job of addressing QB injuries, with more attention paid to late

hits and hits to the head. That is important as they are the key players on a team. That said, the league may want to study game film and see if rule tweaks might help protect receivers because without top receivers in a three-down league offences sputter. But, back to a rundown of QBs. The league also has some young pivots with potential. Johnathon Jennings, James Franklin, and Johnny Manziel may all

one day be very good quarterbacks. Sadly, and this is a concern, the current CFL rarely allows backup quarterbacks to play. Whether up 15 or down 15, the starter stays. That did not used to be the case, but today’s offences are dynamic enough that, thanks to the rules of the current game, points can be gained in a hurry. Coaches don’t want to be tagged with losing with back-ups, so they play starters until so close to the final whistle backups get little experience. That hurts development, and may well impact quality moving forward, as we have seen Franklin and Jennings both highly touted, struggle as starters. Certainly the money rich National Football League is paying big

bucks to quarterbacks to sit with a clipboard their entire careers and that does thin the talent pool somewhat. But let’s not forget it is estimated there are some 775 colleges and universities that provide football programs in the U.S. That is close to 2500 quarterbacks at any one time.

And maybe if the CFL tweaked its rules in favour of Canadian pivots, players such as Noah Picton at the University of Regina or Kyle Siemans at the U of Saskatchewan would be the answer in the years ahead. But, as it stands today, the ‘Rider situation notwithstanding, the quarterback position in the CFL is far from in crisis. The best in the league are impressive to say the least.

Comeback earns Kienle disc golf crown A course covered in snow and temperatures below zero greeted participants as they arrived at the Melville Disc Golf Course for the third annual Farrell Agencies Champions Challenge. While the weather was decidedly blustery 14 of the 18 qualifiers for the Parkland Association of Disc Golf, (PADG), open championship headed out onto the course. After the opening 18 Jack Talsma, the 2016 winner, and 2017 runnerup was in the lead shooting a minus-three 51, for a two-stroke lead on Taylor Mountain of Regina. Rounding out the lead card for the second round were Melville’s Josh Gregory with a par 54, and defending PADG champ Chris Hoyt of Regina at a plus-one 55. The second round proved more challenging for the lead card, and when the top four headed out for a final championship nine the line-up looked different from the second round lead card. Coming off the chase card after 18, Mark Kienle of Wadena threw a blistering minus-five 49 on the second round to lead with a 105 through 36, one stroke up on Talsma who threw a plus-one 55 on the second round, for a 106 after 18. Mountain went par on the second round for a 107 through 36. Hoyt made a move to hold onto his crown going minus-two on the second 18, to also sit at 107 through 36. In the championship nine, Kienle continued to hold a hot hand, throwing a minus-one 35 for the crown at 140. Mountain would finish the day at 144 through 45, with Talsma slipping to third at 145, with Hoyt fourth at 147. Not surprisingly Kienle was smiling about the win, noting he felt, “really good, I’ve been playing for this position for a couple years now, since the first Championship in 2016. I

placed 3rd in both the last two Championships.” And the trophy presentation made it even more real. Kienle joked the trophy was “heavy,” then continued, “seriously it is a well-built trophy, I seen it revealed last year at the Championship and was impressed with it. Thank you Yorkton Lions Club for donating it to the club.” As for the comeback Kienle said he just tried to stay focused. “Yeah I was on the chase card, I believe I was sitting at fifth place behind the lead card,” he said. I didn’t really have to change anything. My first round was OK. I had just missed my lines on a couple of the holes.” As he headed to the second round Kienle said he did add some support. “I had my sister Rachelle caddie for me the second and final round,” he said. “I give her the credit for the good round, having her to carry the bag and to talk through some of the strategy on the course really helped. I found it easier to not get too wrapped up in the game or to over think things.” Kienle said the Melville course is always a good one to play. “The course is great, very challenging with the trees on the front nine,” he said. “I played another tournament at Melville earlier this year so I had an idea of the layout, but it’s always hard showing up the day of an event to play.” Kienle said early, his putting was an issue in terms of consistency. “My putting was on and off, I had some good putts in round two but I struggled with putting in the final round,” he said. “I missed a lot of short putts just under or over the tonal.” And there were the tight fairways that had to be respected, said Kienle. “The lines you have to throw are very tight, one FO

The situation was made tougher by the wind and cold. “It was cold for sure, I knew that coming in so I dressed for the weather but really for the most

part it was the wind that I was worried about,” said Kienle. “I only used stable discs, anything with turn I kept in the bag.” And, then the championship nine which meant new challenges for the players to deal with.

“We played an alternate layout for the final nine, this lengthened the course a lot, turning most holes into par fours,” said Kienle. “This really opened up the creativity of the game, multiple routes to each hole. We all were forced to throw shots we had not prac-

ticed, or would have expected to need on the course. “I threw everything from a roller; to a tomahawk, skyhyzer, hyzerflip and long turnovers. It was a lot of fun.” Trevor Lyons, the PADG Tournament Chair

Terriers sit atop SJHL Viterra Division

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Terriers are in unfamiliar territory based on the last few seasons. On a four-game winning streak, the Terriers sit atop the Viterra Division of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League based on an early season record of 6-4-1 for 13 points, two up on Weyburn, with Estevan third three points back, and Melville dwelling in the cellar with seven points. Terrier head coach Mat Hehr said the quick start on the season is a big step for the team. “It’s definitely been a nice turnaround from last season,” he said. The difference this year is this edition of the Terriers thinks they can win. “This year everyone’s confident,” said Hehr. “They have an attitude, win, no matter what it takes.” It helps that the Terriers have been scor-

ing goals, 51 through 11 games, a league best clip. Hehr said the ability to score has kept the Terriers in striking distance in games. Friday the Terriers visited the Kindersley Klippers with the host team taking a lead 3:47 into the contest on a goal by Caden Benson. Colby Brant tied the score with a short-handed effort at 13:15. But the Klipper fans would go to the first intermission happy as Cameron Shorrock restored a one-goal lead for Kindersley with a powerplay goal at 14:27. The second period would have only one goal scored, a game-knotting effort by Terrier Jared Legien. The game would stay 2-2 through a scoreless third period, pushing the contest to overtime where Chantz Petruic scored the winner for Yorkton 2:08 into extra time. Ryan Ouellette earned the win in the Terrier net facing 39-shots, with Justen Close taking the

Kickin’ it

loss facing 37-shots. Saturday the Terriers moved north to play the Battlefords North Stars. Again the home team took the lead in the first with Austin Becker potting the only goal of the stanza. At 6:10 of the second period Auden Bulych tied the score for Yorkton. Cody Bruchkowski scored at 7:41 to give the visiting Terriers their first lead of the game. Elijah LoonStewardson would respond for the Stars scored a powerplay goal at 11:02 to tie the contest 2-2. Twenty-one seconds later Branden Klatt restored a Terrier lead, but it was short-lived as MacGregor Sinclair again tied the game at 12:29. The 3-3 tie would hold until 10:36 of the third period when Braydon Buziak gave the Stars a 4-3 lead. The rest of the contest would swing the Terriers’ way as Quinten Hobbs tied the game 25-seconds

later. Tyson Janzen popped the eventual game-winner at 12:45, with Petruic adding an insurance goal into an empty net with only 12-seconds left in the game. Ben Laidlaw earned the win in the Terrier net facing 34-shots, while Joel Grzybowski took the loss facing 31.

Hehr said the weekend was a great one for the team as it set a mood of further confidence. “It’s important to get wins on the road,” he said, adding they gain greater importance early in the season because a team learns it can win away from their own rink. “Good teams, they learn to win on the road

early.” How the Terriers won the two weekend games was a good sign as well. “We went down in both games, and came back,” said Hehr. “We’re getting the never quit attitude.” The Terriers will look to build on their early success in Flin Flon this weekend with games Friday and Saturday.

TROWELL - Patricia “Patty” 1957 2018. It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our loving mother, sister and aunt, Patricia “Patty” Trowell in Regina on Thursday, October 4, 2018 at 61 years of age after a courageous battle with cancer. Patty was born to Arthur and Margaret (nee Smith) Trowell on May 9, 1957 in Yorkton, SK. She would spend her childhood on the farm with her family in Saltcoats, SK. Patty first attended Grahame School, then Saltcoats and later finished her high school in Yorkton. After high school she moved to Regina and worked for SGI until she met Larry Engstrom in 1981. She followed Larry back to the United States and they would marry in 1984. This partnership gave her the greatest joys of her life: her two children James and Ashley. Patty was a talented artist her entire life. She had the ability to see the beauty and potential in everything and everyone. She could turn an old piece of wood found at a garage sale into something beautiful, sew a dress for herself overnight, paint, sketch and write poetically. Patty was exceptionally creative and had an appreciation for style and fashion. A natural beauty, she took great pride in looking after herself and was always dressed up and looking her best. Patty was generous and warm hearted to a fault, often times sacrificing her own good to help realize the potential in others. She lived by her motto: “everyone and everything deserves a second chance”. Patty was predeceased by her parents Arthur and Margaret. She leaves to mourn her passing, her children James and Ashley, her siblings: Leslie (Wendy) Trowell, Frances Larsen, Laurel (Ron) Pitsula, Allan Trowell, Beverley (Gene) Richards and Kathy (Todd) Trowell. Patty will also be missed by numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, other extended family and many special friends. While there are so many to thank, Patty’s family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to all of the healthcare workers who have helped Patty and especially to Patty’s sister Frances for her selfless, never ending care and support over the last years, as well as Patty’s best friend Liz has also walked along side Patty through life’s joys and sorrows with true friendship and dedication. Patty will be missed by all whom she touched with her charism and kindness. Rest in peace Patty. A funeral service was held for Patty on Wednesday, October 11, 2018 at 2 p.m. at the Saltcoats United Church in Saltcoats, SK. Donations in memory of Patty may be made to Allan Blair Cancer Centre, 4101 Dewdney Ave, Regina, SK S4T 7T1 or William Booth Special Care Home - Grace Hospice, 50 Angus Road, Regina, SK, S4R 8P6.

HUDY - Magdalen “Margaret”. On the tenth day of October, 2018, God gathered his arms around our mom, grandmother and great-grandmother and took her home to rest after 96 years of this life. Magdalen “Margaret” Chepeur was born a twin on June 14, 1922 in Melville hospital, daughter of Frank and Mary (née Novakowski) Chepeur. Margaret was the youngest of six children. She received her early education at Happy Home country school. On October 29, 1939, Margaret was united in marriage to Paul Allan Hudy and together they farmed the Hudy homestead near McKim, SK until 1948. Their daughter Carolyn was born during that time. In the fall of 1948 they moved to Bangor, SK and co-owned a small store, lunch counter and rooming house until 1957. In August of that year mom was appointed the village Postmistress and worked in that position until her retirement in 1982 when she and Paul moved to Regina to live with Carolyn, Richard and their two daughters. While there she enjoyed the small critters that graced the yard and family such as the friendly birds, squirrels, cats and dogs. Margaret resided with her family until health issues required her to receive care at Pioneer Village, September 22, 2010 to December 23, 2011, at which time she was transferred to where she looked forward to living at the Santa Maria Senior Citizens Home. Margaret was predeceased by her husband, parents, brothers and sisters. She leaves to cherish her memory, her daughter Carolyn and husband Richard; her granddaughters, Treena (Dale) and Leanne (David); great-grandchildren, Julia Swanston and Leo and Charles Johnson; a sister-in-law Victoria Chepeur of Yorkton and several nephews and nieces. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at the Santa Maria Senior Citizens Home Chapel, 4215 Regina Avenue, Regina, SK on Friday, October 19, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. with Rev. Ken Koep as celebrant. Interment in Riverside Memorial Park will follow. We wish to acknowledge the compassionate and excellent care Margaret received from all the staff at Santa Maria. A special thank you to the staff on third floor, residents and families for their kindness shown to mom. Those so wishing may make donations, in memoriam, to Santa Maria Nursing Home (Building Fund), 4215 Regina Avenue, Regina, SK S4S 0J5.

SUPENA - Wes Supena was born in the Rhein district of Saskatchewan to Maggie and Nick Shupena on December 14, 1930. He passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 10, 2018 at the Kamsack Health Care Centre with his two daughters at his side. He was 87 years of age. Wes lived most of his life in the Kamsack, Canora and Yorkton areas, joining the CN Railroad as a young man. He began as a brakeman and worked his way up to an engineer. Wes had a close bond with both of his daughters, making many trips to BC to spend time with his grandkids Madelyn and Alec. Wes loved to share stories and will be remembered for his quick, infectious smile and readiness to lend a hand. Throughout his life and especially after retirement he enjoyed spending time with his daughter Rhonda and many friends playing cards and fishing. He could often be seen riding the Tryke at all the local Shriner Parades, hitting eighteen holes on the golf course or kicking up his heels in a good Ukrainian polka. Predeceased by brothers Ernie and Ed Supena, Wes is survived by his two daughters: Rhonda Rosset of Kamsack; Sherry (John) Martin of Pitt Meadows, BC; grandchildren Madelyn and Alec. Also a sister, Evelyn Start, of Maple Ridge, BC. He will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by all those whose lives he touched. The funeral service was held on Monday, October 15, 2018 from the Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre with Rev. Fr. Michael Faryna of Holy Transfiguration Ukrainian Orthodox Church officiating. Cantor, Yvonne Panchuk, assisted by Patrish Choir members, led in the singing of the responses. Granddaughter Madelyn gave a tribute to Wes. The interment took place in the Garden of Crucifixion with Raymond, Richard, Jeff and Douglas Shupena, Ron Lucash and Reinhart Schultz serving as the casket bearers.

DISC Continued from Page B2

said it was certainly a big push for the title by Kienle. “It was definitely a huge comeback for Mark,” he said. “Last year the champion wasn’t determined until the final basket, and this year we have a player come off the chase card to win. It really shows how competitive the Farrell Agencies event is.” The 50-plus Division was topped by Karl Kreutner of Inglis, MB. He

shot a 67 through 18, one stroke over Trevor Lyons of Yorkton, and three up on Calvin Daniels, also from Yorkton. Finn Marion of Yorkton was the Junior Champion. Winning the Women’s championship was Sandy Kerr of Yorkton. In addition to the Lions Trophy for the Open Championship, the winners will be receiving Championship jackets. As an added feature to this year’s event, a drive

for distance for a disc signed by pro disc golfer Simon Lizotte was held. Gage McKay of Regina topped the field with a toss of 127 metres, (416.67 feet). Calvin Daniels, president of the PADG said the championship was again the highlight of the local disc golf season. “Three different winners in three years, you can’t have it any more competitive than that,” he said. Looking back on the

PADG tournament series, which started in May at Katepwa Provincial Park, Daniels said it there were ups and downs, but the growth of the sport definitely continues. “We had a tournament at Good Spirit Provincial Park cancelled when wind blew over some trees and damaged baskets, and lightning forced a postponement in Kamsack where we ended up playing in a snow flurry, so it was a pretty unusual year,” he said.

“And we saw the number of ladies and youth involved in tournaments drop off, so there are things we need to work on.” But the positives are still the highlight, offered Daniels. “It was huge to have Yorkton Co-op come onboard to sponsor a minitour within our tournament series,” he said. “Their involvement brought some added interest to the tournaments in Kamsack,

Whitesand Regional Park and Yorkton, and we think the trilogy will only get bigger. “And we continue to see interest in new courses. There is a committee at work in Churchbridge working toward a course, and we really hope the course at Saltcoats Regional Park finally opens in 2019. “Overall, it’s all part of the growth of a new sport to the area.” — Submitted by the Parkland Association of Disc Golf

Erasing the Schwarzenegger film Eraser I have been thinking about the film Eraser recently. It hasn’t been because it’s a particularly great film – it wasn’t – but instead because it seems to be a completely forgotten film. I imagine most people don’t actually remember Eraser exists. The Arnold Schwarzenegger film from 1996 was notable for something, I’m sure, when it was released – it was even nominated for a technical Oscar – but in the years that followed, everyone seems to have forgotten about Eraser. Which somehow makes it interesting. The film was a reason-

ably big deal at the time, and opened at number one at the box office, yet one struggles to remember anything about it. What unique mix of qualities has made Eraser so forgettable? What is it about Eraser that has caused it to slip from our collective consciousness? Why has Eraser been erased? It’s sometimes fascinating to think of the ebb and flow of public interest in various things. What seemed like a big deal one year is nothing at all decades later, while something under the radar is suddenly a big deal. Keeping it in the realm

Thinking I do with words... of movies, the opposite of Eraser has to be It’s A Wonderful Life. Believe it or not, the film was a failure when released in 1946 and marked the beginning of the end of director Frank Capra’s relevance as a director. Now it’s considered a classic, aired perpetually over the Christmas season. In a highly compressed version of the story that I can fit in a paragraph,

the film became a hit partially because it was cheap to air on television due to the way copyright worked on it. So, for not much money, television stations had a Christmasthemed movie to air during December, and by making it a staple of television it gained a new level of popularity. The result is that the reputation of the movie is now much better known than it ever was 72 years

ago when it came out. Would Eraser be well remembered if, by some quirk of licensing and cost, it had become a staple of Saturday afternoon television? Other action movies from the same era have a bit more of a television presence and seem a bit better remembered, something like Con Air. But then again, maybe Eraser just plain isn’t memorable enough, and all the television presentations in the world can’t make it something people care about. It’s telling that I have actually watched Eraser and have been unable to actually think of a plotrelevant joke. Which is fine, because nobody would get it anyway. It doesn’t take very long for history to start changing what’s impor-

tant about any given period of time. It’s also interesting to wonder what is going to be forgotten in twenty years and what is suddenly going to be regarded as incredibly important that we might be overlooking. I’m using movies as an example, but it applies to all human endeavor. We don’t know yet what is going to shake out from the lives we’re living right now and what people in the future are going to look back on as important from what is happening right now. Eraser has been effectively erased from the public consciousness, and that’s probably fine, but at the time it was impossible to know that in twenty two years nobody would know what it was.

Expansions lift game to higher rating In the world of board games everybody seems to love a stout dwarf. Yes there might be a few liking haughty elves, but really, dwarfs are just better. So when a game such as Dwar7s Fall comes along it is immediately one worth a look. The game fluff states; “to survive the long and terrible winter approaching, the dwarfs need to prepare. It’s time to collect gems, build castles and stock up enough food. The fire dragons are sleeping. The giants of winter, lurking. The fall is precious and is vital to plan your actions wisely.” All the typical elements of a dwarf game are there, from mining

for gems, to their usual battles with giants and dragons. In this case designer Luís Brüeh offers up a game for two to four players which has a rather usual mechanic team-up, worker placement which lead to area control. You place your dwarves onto the board to control areas, which ultimately lead to scoring points, So the strength of the game is the art. As in Covil, a game by the same company reviewed here a few weeks ago, designer Brüeh also does the art here. In Covil the cartoony art seemed a touch more of an acquired taste, perhaps because Brüeh was paying an artistic homage to other characters.

THE MEEPLE GUILD (Yorkton) meeple.guild@gmail.com With Dwar7s he has created a bunch of charming bearded dwarfs, and cute monsters, that are so suggestive of fun, it helps set the atmosphere of the game. In terms of game play though, the basic game here just seemed lacking. The fun the art hinted at just never quite materialized in a major way. The game didn’t seem to flow

as smoothly as expected. Then along came Dwar7s Fall: Empires Expansion, and the Royal Decrees Expansion. The two expansions go a long

way toward fixing the general slowness of the base set. The expansions diversify the game too, allowing players to take on the roles of an elf or ogre as well, and that expansion element is a huge plus as well. Of course the question is whether gamers will enjoy the base game enough sans the expansions to add those expansions for a better game experience? This is a game I might pass on at the base level,

although the art and pieces are very nice which helps. But add in the small packaged expansions and the game rights itself, adds some fun options, and rises into the realm of a game many are going to like a lot. Check it out at www. vesuviusmedia.com Thanks to fellow gamers Jeff Chasse, Trevor Lyons and Adam Daniels for their help in running through this game for review.
