Roundtable discussion

Staff Photo by Sean Mott

Yorktonites chatted with RCMP representatives at a townhall meeting in St. Mary’s Cultural Centre on Oct. 18. Conversations focused on traffic, general concerns, and, of course, the recent legalization of cannabis. Councillors Quinn

Haider, Darcy Zaharia, and Mitch Hippsley were among the audience as the RCMP fielded questions on public smoking, medical cannabis, and the effects of drugs on youth.

New awards program honours volunteers

By Sean Mott Staff Writer It’s time to celebrate the best and brightest Yorkton volunteers for their hard work across town.

The City of Yorkton is looking for nominations for the first Citizen Recognition Awards program.

“We’ve had so many volun-

teers who have done so much for the community, whether it’s working with local clubs, minor sports, theatre groups, [or] film festivals,” said Mayor Bob Maloney. “I think it’s a good idea for the city to recognize these people for all the work they’ve done.”

The award program honours people who have made significant contributions to the

community through volunteer work. Nominees don’t have to reside in Yorkton, but their work must be within the city’s boundaries.

The program is divided into two categories: Adult Civic Recognition and Youth Civic Recognition. The latter category is open to people 18 and younger. Maloney thinks it’s particularly important to con-

gratulate Yorkton youth for their civic work.

“There are so many young people that contribute through school organizations or volunteer work,” he said. “We want to encourage [them], hoping other people will get involved.”

“There are countless examples of youth taking leadership roles,” said Councilor Quinn Haider.

New boardwalk open

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Ravine Ecological Preserve has a new boardwalk.

The first boardwalk was installed at the location on the City’s west side in 1985, explained Mayor Bob Maloney at an official unveiling of the new one Monday.

“It was a great fixture of the park,” he said, noting the boardwalk stretched across the ravine joining the east and the west sides of the trail system.

However, the boardwalk was damaged in the flood of 2010, necessitating an upgrade. Repairs were made to reopen the boardwalk and it continued to be in use until flooding again in 2014 significantly damaged the walkway

rendering it unusable and resting on the eastern bank of the ravine.

The new boardwalk was installed this fall at a cost of $78,000.

As the ravine trail is a designated portion of the Trans Canada Trail, the City was able to apply for funding through the organization’s 2018-2019 Capital Improvement Plan grant.

The application was successful in accessing a $35,000 grant toward the project, noted Maloney, adding the system has been designated part of Yorkton’s portion of the Trans Canada Trail.

The City began the tendering process for a new replacement boardwalk, with the project being awarded to C-Squared Innovations Inc. from Silton, SK. Installation

of the first half of the boardwalk was completed in September, with the second half installed and the boardwalk opened for use on Oct. 5.

The new boardwalk has been designed to rise and fall with the level of water in the ravine, and ramps located on both ends of the ravine make it easily accessible from the nature trail. As the ravine does not see significant changes during the spring runoff, and with limited ice flow, the boardwalk will remain in the ravine over the winter months to be enjoyed year round, explained Maloney.

Kristen Gabora, Trail Development Manager, Central Canada, Trans Canada Trail said the Yorkton trail is part of a 24,000

Violence Prevention Week in Sask.

Justice Minister and Attorney General Don Morgan and Minister Responsible for Status of Women Office Tina Beaudry-Mellor, have proclaimed October 22-26, 2018 as Violence Prevention Week in Saskatchewan.

“Saskatchewan’s high rate of violence cannot be tolerated,” Morgan said.

“Government, organizations, communities and all Saskatchewan residents need to work together to stop violence and abuse in our communities.”

“Saskatchewan has very high rates of interpersonal abuse and domestic violence,” Beaudry-Mellor said.

“We are working on direct and indirect responses to this very important issue for everyone.”

The proclamation provides an opportunity to focus on violence prevention, improve the response to violence, and reduce the harm caused by violence to individuals and communities.

The proclamation was

requested by Regina Police Chief Evan Bray.

“We need to understand violence as it relates to people,” Bray said. “Statistics tell a story, but what the members of our police service encounter every day is not stats, but people who have been victims of violence. This is a great opportunity to talk about this issue and commit collaboratively to ending violence in our community.”

The Government of Saskatchewan is committed to working with police services and community-based organizations on efforts to reduce violence.

Tracy Knutson, provincial co-ordinator with the group STOPS to Violence, said Saskatchewan Violence Prevention Week is a great opportunity for focused attention to address the impact of violence in our province.

“The first step is awareness, the second is action,” Knutson said.

“We can all do something to help build a healthy,

vibrant Saskatchewan where all people are valued equally and live free from violence and abuse.”

This year, the province developed a number of new tools for those encountering violence and for those working to support victims.

They include: • Launch of the Legal Information and Advice for Survivors of Sexual Violence (Listen) program, a four-year partnership with Federal Justice and Public Legal Education Association.

The “Listen” program provides free legal advice to survivors of sexual violence.

• The Saskatchewan Police Commission implemented a new policy for the conduct of investigations into incidents of intimate partner violence.

• Conservation Officers and Highway Patrol Officers have received training on interpersonal violence to gain an understanding of what a victim is

going through and how to appropriately intervene when they respond to calls as part of their expanded role with the Protection Response Team (PRT). They also received training in mental health first aid.

• Government also announced four immediate actions in response to the Domestic Violence Death Review (DVDR): • Provision of two additional crisis work-

ers for domestic violence and sexual assault; • Implementation of the Domestic Violence Disclosure Act; • Expansion of the Children Exposed to Violence program in the north; and • Expansion of the “Kids on the Block” (KOTB) and “Kids Matter” programs in the north. KOTB and Kids Matter are programs delivered by the Regina

Sexual Assault Centre and STOPS to Violence that educate elementary school aged children on safety, wellness, diversity and social issues.

The government also announced the expansion of the Status of Women Office to oversee the implementation of the DVDR recommendations and the development of a broader plan to address interpersonal violence and abuse.

kilometre network that “connects Canada coast to coast to coast” encompassing 15,000 communities and 400 trail groups. She encouraged people “to go out and experience these great trails. Spend an hour, spend a day, spend a week, I guarantee it will make you proud.”

The Ravine Ecological Preserve is an approximate 80-acre natural park space which includes a walking/hiking trail that winds through rolling grasslands and aquatic and aspen parkland habitats. The preserve is also home to the Dulmage Farmstead, a municipal heritage site, as well as the arboretum and peace grove.

Councillors Quinn Haider and Darcy Zaharia squared up before their big hair vs. hair match this Friday.

Councillors put their hair on the line

By Sean Mott Staff Writer Councillor Quinn Haider loves playing a wrestling villain.

Haider, the principal at St. Paul’s School, has been telling his students he’ll do whatever it takes to win his big match this Friday. He’s all too happy to tell his opponent, fellow councillor Darcy Zaharia, that he’ll be walking home with a bald head. Haider’s having a blast being bad.

“I’ve had a lot of fun at my school telling the kids that I’m going to be the bad guy,” he said.

Haider has been a lifelong professional wrestling fan. He enjoys the larger-than-life characters and the electric personalities such as Chris Jericho and The Rock.

“My favourites have always been the dynamic speakers,” he said.

On Oct. 26, Haider and Zaharia will live out their wrestling dreams as they put their hair on the line for a good cause.

This Friday, Canadian

Wrestling Elite (CWE) is returning to Yorkton as part of its “Strutting and Cutting” tour.

Haider and Zaharia are part of one of the main attractions: A hair vs. hair match.

“Darcy is going to lose his hair,” Haider said. “[I’m] 100 per cent confident.”

“I like my chances,” Zaharia countered.

Haider and Zaharia won’t actually be lacing up their boots and battling in the squared circle; instead, they’ll be managing tag teams. Haider will be managing “The Crazed Cowboy” Jacob Creed and “The Boston Bruiser” Kevin O’Doyle, while Zaharia will be in the corner of Bull Bodnar and Kevin Lee Davidson. The manager of the losing team will have their head shaved bald.

Zaharia wants his team to

I’m going to do whatever it takes to win this match.

— Quinn Haider fight fair while Haider is ready to cheat to secure victory.

“I’m going to do whatever it takes to win this match,” he said.

The match is raising money for a good cause. Haider and Zaharia have promoted the bout by fundraising for Close Cuts for Cancer. So far they’ve collected over $1100.

“We’ve met our goal and then some,” Haider said.

The loser’s head will be in

I like my chances.

— Darcy Zaharia

good hands, as wrestling legend Brutus “the Barber” Beefcake will be personally shaving them.

“When I was a young man, Brutus made his living in the WWE by shaving his opponents’ hair,” Haider said.

Beefcake (real name Edward Leslie) has wrestled for several companies under dozens of personas in his 40-year career, but he loves playing the Barber.

“There’s nothing better than chopping off somebody’s hair,” he said. “The fans love it.”

Beefcake has shaved countless people’s heads over the years. He aims to keep things light and safe.

“No one’s ever been injured [while I shave them],” he said.

“I pride myself on that fact.”

CWE general manager Danny Warren reached out to Beefcake to join the tour, the biggest in company history.

They’re putting on 32 shows in 32 days, visiting Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia.

Warren knows it’ll be a demanding tour for his crew, but he thinks they’re up for the challenge.

“We want to keep expanding,” he said.

Beefcake is looking forward to hitting the road and meeting his Canadian fans.

“It’s relaxing,” he said.

“Airports are a hassle.”

Haider is thrilled to be a part of the show. “[CWE] is great family fun,” he said.

The show will be held at Yorkdale Central School this Friday (Oct. 26). Doors open at 6 p.m. for a meet and greet with a 7 p.m. official start time.

Advance tickets are available at Dig N Dre’s, Pumphouse Athletic Club, PC Place LTD, Yorkton Hobbies and Collectibles, and online at cwetickets.com.

Perspective Legalized pot more of a future problem

Interim Publisher: Gordon Brewerton Editor: Calvin Daniels Production Manager: Debbie Barr Mailroom Manager Jim Kinaschuk Advertising Manager: William O’Boyle

◆Editorial◆

Politics

MacLean’s crime report is out of date

So marijuana became legal in Canada last week.

It likely hasn’t changed your life much.

Most people (an estimated 85 per cent) have either never smoked pot or smoked only on an experimental.

As such, most of you are unlikely to be impacted by federal and provincial laws and rules governing marijuana as a legal substance.

Strict laws and rules may be disincentive enough to keep non-user from becoming users.

As is the case with alcohol, you have to be 19 years old. While debate during the Saskatchewan Party leadership did discuss increasing the legal age to 25 years, it was decided it should be the same as the current legal drinking age in this province.

The question is: Will those 18 years and under be more enticed to use marijuana in the future because of last week’s legalization? (More on that in a moment.)

First, though, consider the disincentives there are for non-user to ever become a users.

There are no stores yet open in Saskatchewan, but there will be only 51 stores opened in this province. That may seem a lot, but it pales in comparison with the province’s 700 retail outlets, all the bars, restaurants, hotels and clubs licensed to sell booze and even the charity or special occasion permits.

If you want booze, it’s really just around the corner. That won’t be the case for pot.

Once you purchase your marijuana (no more than 30 grams at a time or you face a $200 fine) you must take its straight home. Neither you nor any passengers can smoke it in a vehicle.

You can smoke in your home, but only if it’s your home. If it’s a condo, apartment building or a rental property, it’s up to board, management or property owner.

In Saskatchewan, smoking in outdoor community parks, sidewalks, playgrounds, daycares, theatres (in-door or outdoor) are all out.

Of course, there is the great outdoors, although that is limited as well. While smoking marijuana will be allowed in campers, tents or around the campfire (confined to your campsite), it won’t be allowed elsewhere in provincial and federal parks. Interestingly, such smoking provincial parks are subject to seasonal fire bans.

But while all of the above might be more of a deterrent to non-users, will it really be a deterrent to already heavy-to-moderate users?

There are an estimated 4.6 million such users in Canada and their habits are likely to be encouraged by the fact that they no longer face the prospects of a criminal record.

But here’s another way to look at it: If such users are already willing to risk fines and criminal records, what really changed last week for them?

Well, one thing that’s change is the risk of prosecution, which has been changing for a considerable time, anyway.

According to government statistics, marijuana-related crimes have been on a five-year decline, falling 11 per cent in Canada and 17 per cent in Saskatchewan in 2016.

Unfortunately that’s not the end of this story.

The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) very much fears an increased in cannabis-impaired driver (although they acknowledge alcohol impairment will be a far bigger worry).

And then there is the issue of the next generation growing up with marijuana now legal and more socially acceptable.

Yes, it remains illegal for those under 19 years to smoke marijuana, but how effectively does a legal drinking age work when it comes to stopping under-age drinkers?

There are ample studies suggesting that marijuana use does affect developing younger brains, so this what impact legalized pot use may have on the younger generation is a legitimate issue.

Maybe it’s less about what’s happening now than how last week’s legalization might impact people down the road.

W

hen Statistics Canada released the crime severity index statistics for 2016, in July 2017, it showed there was more serious crime in Yorkton for the second straight year.

The Yorkton numbers showed an increase of 10 per cent in the crime severity index, going from 135.14 to 149.47.

The majority of that increase was due to a jump in violent crime, which increased 34.70 per cent, going from 143.35 to 193.09. Non-violent crime remained steady, with a one per cent increase, from 131.88 to 133.28. It was the second straight year of CSI increases in the city.

These are now rather old numbers, but they are again creating something of a buzz locally thanks to a rehashing of the data in a recent MacLean’s magazine article about Canada’s most dangerous places in 2018.

The piece posted online has Yorkton sitting 13th on a list, with North Battleford in the unenviable position of top spot, and Prince Albert slotted in at number three.

Not surprisingly in an era of social media overload the article provoked some emotions locally, understandable until you consider the data is two years out of date.

The numbers are so far behind us that when Yorkton This Week contacted the local RCMP detachment on the matter Monday, the response was that it was an old report, not reflective of the current numbers, and not something to comment on.

The RCMP are correct in that approach to the situation.

There is no denying the Statistics Canada numbers from 2016 were discouraging both locally and in Saskatchewan, with three cities so high on the crime list. But those numbers are now two years in the past.

Looking at the most recent batch of numbers, released by Statistics Canada in July, it actually looks relatively good for Saskatchewan. In the province as a whole, the crime rate is down by six per cent, with the crime severity index sitting at 140.51. This is still the highest number among the provinces, but it’s a

trend in the right direction. It’s also the opposite of the national trend, which saw an increase of 1.9 per cent.

While it’s difficult to see how cities rank individually, as the current data is organized by department and many small cities, like Yorkton, split their RCMP between rural and municipal detachments, signs are positive for the city. The Yorkton Municipal RCMP Detachment reported a drop of 11 per cent, going from 152.14 to 134.92. This is also a lower rate than 2015. The Yorkton Rural RCMP Detachment also reported a much lower rate, with a drop from 68.49 to 54.77, a drop of 20 per cent.

Again, this is lower than 2015 and is in fact nearly the same rate as 2014, which is the lowest year on record for the rural detachment.

Delegates to the East Central Region meeting of the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association in Yorkton in late September were given some first-hand insight into new policing initiatives for rural areas when RCMP Assistant Commissioner Curtis Zablocki, Commander “F” Division gave a presentation on Policing and Community Safety in the city.

For example, two Crime Reduction Teams have been established to focus on identifying repeat offenders and dealing specifically with problem hotspots, said Zablocki. The teams will be based in Prince Albert and North Battleford, but can be deployed elsewhere if a local need arises. It is not a coincidence where the teams are based, given the 2016 numbers.

Conservation Officers and Saskatchewan Highway Patrol can now be called upon as first responders to criminal code calls when those officers are closer than the RCMP, said Zablocki.

So it’s not like the system is not being adjusted to address the disturbing numbers.

There is still plenty of work to do when it comes to crime in Saskatchewan, even with much lower numbers the province remains much higher than the rest of Canada. But progress is being made, and that progress is not being reflected in the outdated MacLean’s report.

History Corner Agricultural shows and other benefits of Pioneer Days In October of 1884, 9 months after York City was renamed Yorkton by Canada’s Post Office Dept., the community held their second Agricultural Exhibition, the first had taken place in 1883.

Both events took place at the first site of York City/Yorkton, by the river four kilometers north of present day Yorkton. We learn from a letter printed in the Manitoba Daily Free Press, written by James Armstrong, Managing Director of the York Farmers Colonization Company that another fair was taking place at Crescent Lake — south of Yorkton. Armstrong was applauding and promoting the grants that the Agricultural Societies of the West could apply for from the Territorial Government to help them organize their fairs.

Available also was information provided by government sources about the latest agricultural news and methods to improve farming. And for York Colony farmers there were loans to apply for from the York Farmers Colonization Company in charge of this colony from 1882 to 1888. From 1882 on, they had invited settlers from Ontario and Britain, and oversaw settlement, built a flour mill, improved trails and ferry services. While the Company was no longer in charge of the Yorkton colony after 1888, they did not abandon their settlers. Some settlers left to go live in places along the railways. But, the company’s colonies kept themselves busy and entertained — York Colony and Orkney Colony continued to seek settlers from Scotland/Britain and organizing events such as its debating club, the Armstrong Lake settlers had organized an Orange Lodge, Wallace was still the most northerly post office on the Yorkton mail stagecoach trail and settlers were still hopeful that the founders would get the government to establish the much longed for and agreed on railway.

In 1889, after vigorous representation on the part of the Company’s president N.C. Wallace, James Armstrong and others, the Dominion Government extended the railway from Saltcoats to a new location for Yorkton! Henceforth, this colonization plan prospered with more settlers arriving from Eastern Canada and the United States. Yorkton was a well-organized village by the time more colonists arrived from Western and Eastern Europe in the late 1890s to take up homesteads in the region. Up to the time of Armstrong’s death in 1919, his interest in the development of Yorkton remained active.

James Armstrong is considered in our history as the “Founding Father of Yorkton.” Someday, it is hoped that a monument with statues will be erected to acknowledge the work and dedication of the founding fathers, N.C. Wallace, James Armstrong and J.J. Cook. Today, we hear and read many critical analysis of the governments and officials of the past. While there were many problems in the settlement of the West, we seldom see articles about the assistance that settlers did obtain from the governments and railway companies, in the way of grants, improving farming methods, food, and shelter (immigration halls) until they were assigned to their homesteads. They had been warned by immigration agents to come with some necessary supplies and money to survive.

Free flu vaccine available across the province Saskatchewan residents can get their free flu shot starting October 22 at public health clinics, local pharmacies, and some physician and Nurse Practitioner offices.

“Influenza can cause serious illness and may lead to complications, hospitalization and even death,” Saskatchewan’s Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab said. “Don’t wait. Get your flu shot early in the season to protect yourself, your family and those to whom you provide care.”

Flu shots are recommended for those at higher risk, including seniors,

people with underlying chronic health conditions, children under five, and pregnant women. Seniors often have chronic health conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes and weaker immune systems, which makes them particularly vulnerable to complications from influenza.

Saskatchewan’s publicly-funded flu vaccination program offers the injectable vaccine, which provides protection against four different flu virus strains most likely to circulate this season.

This year the province is providing Fluzone® High Dose vaccine for

long-term-care residents 65 and older. This vaccine offers improved protection for seniors, especially the elderly. Also, starting this year the role of pharmacists has been expanded to allow them to administer the free flu shot to residents five years and older, during home visits, and in congregate living settings.

Children under five and non-Saskatchewan residents can be vaccinated at a public health clinic. To find out where and when to get a flu shot, call your public health office or HealthLine 811, or visit www.4flu.ca for a complete listing and schedule of public flu

clinics.

For a list of pharmacies that provide the free flu shot, check the Pharmacy Association of Saskatchewan website at www.skpharmacists.ca/ patients/flu-shots or ask your local pharmacy if they offer it.

More than 340 pharmacies will offer free flu vaccinations this season.

Information on influenza immunization in Saskatchewan is available at www.saskatchewan.ca/flu.

For advice on influenza symptoms and when to seek care, call HealthLine 811 or visit www.healthlineonline. ca.

Small businesses continue to drive economy The Government of Saskatchewan is pleased to recognize the positive impact of small businesses to the province during the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) Small Business Week taking place from October 14 to 20, 2018.

The week is set aside every year to celebrate entrepreneurship across Canada. The theme for 2018 is Digitize now: Transform your business.

Saskatchewan has Canada’s second highest rate of small businesses — about 130 for every 1,000 people, compared to about 111 nationally.

These organizations,

which have fewer than 50 employees, made up 99 per cent of all businesses in the province in 2017.

“Small businesses continue to be major players in Saskatchewan, helping to keep our economy dynamic and competitive,” Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison said.

“Through innovation and a commitment to their communities, they offer goods and services that advance the province and the quality of life of all who live here.”

In 2017, small businesses in Saskatchewan employed 31.2 per cent of the province’s workforce, paying $6.3 billion in

wages and salaries and accounting for 25.6 per cent of total payroll. They also contributed almost a third of the province’s gross domestic product at 27 per cent, in the same year.

The Government of Saskatchewan continues to invest in initiatives, services and programs that support small businesses in the province.

Some of these include: • The Saskatchewan Commercial Innovation Incentive, the first “patent box” style incentive of its kind in North America; • The Saskatchewan Technology Start-Up Incentive, which offers a

45 per cent non-refundable tax credit for individual and corporate equity investments in eligible technology start-up businesses; • The Product2Market: Value Added incentive which helps support small-and-medium-sized agri-businesses, from product development through to marketing activities; • The CanadaSaskatchewan Job Grant, an employer-driven program which helps employers train new or existing workers to meet their specific workforce

needs; • A small business income tax rate, at two per cent, for Canadiancontrolled private corporations. The rate applies to the first $600,000 of business income and is among the lowest in the country; • A highly competitive tax structure which includes tax credits for research and development, as well as for manufacturing and processing equipment expenditures; • The proclamation of the Regulatory Modernization and Accountability Act in

2013, to remove red tape that could be a road block to business, and to remove some of the barriers to growth.

A number of events are taking place across the country, during the 2018 BDC Small Business Week. In Saskatchewan, these include various workshops and seminars focused on startups, marketing, business management and more.

Store Cl osing Dear Dear Valued Valued Customers Customers Participants had to solve a series of puzzles to unlock a drag queen’s gear at an escape room last weekend.

Halloween escape rooms draw big numbers

By Sean Mott Staff Writer Dozens of people filled the Yorkton Boys and Girls Club (YBGC) building last weekend, spending hours finding clues and solving puzzles.

Moose Jaw Pride hosted two escape rooms on Oct. 20 and 21. In the two themed rooms, participants either had to escape a dangerous cabin or help a drag queen find all of her gear before her big show.

Seed library starts to grow in Yorkton

By Sean Mott Staff Writer The Yorkton Public Library (YPL) will soon be offering more than books, movies, video games, and albums for members to check out.

YPL is collecting seeds from gardeners and planting-enthusiasts. They’re creating a “seed library,” an impressive assortment of future plants and vegetables.

“We have a large gardening community in Yorkton,” said Meagan Richards, who works at YPL. “[The seed library] will be neat.”

People can drop their plant seeds off at YPL, where they’ll be collected until November. In February, the seed library will be open to the public.

People will be able to take seeds from the library and start their own gardening adventures.

“People had so much fun.”

Budd said 160 people participated in the escape rooms. She hopes to host similar events in Yorkton in the future.

Saskatchewan’s population keeps growing S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s population continues to grow, reaching 1,162,062 people as of July 1, 2018 according to new figures released today by Statistics Canada. That’s an increase of 3,226 people in the past quarter and 11,280 people in the past year.

The new population figure is slightly lower than previous estimates from Statistics Canada due to the post-census revision that is done every five years. The revised population estimates still show that Saskatchewan’s population has grown in every

quarter for the past 49 consecutive quarters, the longest period of sustained growth since quarterly records were first kept beginning in 1971. “ S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s population has grown for more than 49 consecutive quarters, showing that our province is the

place to be to live, work and to raise a family,” Immigration and Career Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “Newcomers to Saskatchewan are adding to the strength of our province and contributing to our growing economy.”

During the second

quarter of 2018 (April 1 to July 1), Saskatchewan’s population increase was made up of a natural increase (births minus

deaths) of 1,659 and net international migration of 4,385, offset by net interprovincial migration of -2,818.

Small business optimism holds steady Recently, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) released its latest monthly Business Barometer®, which reveals optimism among small business owners in Saskatchewan held steady in September with an index of 58.5, up slightly from 57.9 in August, but remains slightly below the national average index of 61.4.

“Optimism among Saskatchewan’s small businesses remained moderately high in September (58.5), and is well above the levels from this time last year (50.9). The general state of business has also improved slightly with 41 per cent of respondents saying their businesses are in good shape, versus 14 per cent who see their firms in bad shape,” said Marilyn Braun-Pollon, CFIB’s VicePresident, Prairie & Agri-business.

“However, employment plans haven’t

30th Annual

seen much movement with roughly equal shares of business owners looking to add (13%) as to cut (15%) full-time staffing numbers.”

Nationally, small business confidence held steady in September with an index of 61.4, almost identical to the 61.6 posted in August. Comparisons with pre-2014 index levels show there is still considerable room for improvement.

“Optimism in Quebec and Prince Edward Island is still sky-high, but sentiment in the rest of the country remains more muted,” said Ted Mallett, CFIB’s Vice-President and Chief Economist. “Small business owners are responding to the political and economic uncertainty they’re seeing nationally and internationally.”

Provincial results: Quebec takes lead

as most optimistic province; Alberta remains least optimistic Quebec overtook PEI as the most confident province in the country, reporting a level of 74.5, a 2.7 point increase. PEI’s optimism remained level at 74.1. Ontario experienced the greatest increase in optimism, gaining 3.6 points to 61.2. Alberta experienced a moderate confidence gain, but remained the least optimistic province at 54.8, followed by BC (55.9) and Newfoundland & Labrador (56.3).

Nova Scotia experienced the greatest confidence drop this month (63.1), but maintained a level above the national average, while Manitoba’s confidence loss (61.1) brought it just below the average. Saskatchewan (58.5) and New Brunswick (58.0) continued to report below average optimism levels.

Highlights of the Saskatchewan Business Barometer for September: • 41% of businesses in Saskatchewan say their overall state of business is good (45% nationally); 14% say it is bad (10% nationally).

• 13% of Saskatchewan businesses plan to increase full-time employment (18% nationally); 15% plan to decrease employment in the next 3-4 months (14% nationally).

• Insufficient domestic demand remains the main operating challenge (51%), followed by shortage of skilled labour (24%), and management skills, time constraints (23%).

• Major cost pressures for small business include: tax, regulatory costs (67%), insurance costs (53%), fuel, energy costs (49%) and wage costs (48%).

Doors may now open for hemp

So the Cannabis Act came into force Oct. 18.

Depending upon where you live in Canada the reaction has been quite different.

In British Columbia the potential for the change to create economic activity and to allow recreational use of a product many see as less dangerous than cigarettes and alcohol has been spurred by a province taking a very liberal approach to how to implement the new Act. In Saskatchewan the government has been a rather vocal opponent of the federal government’s plan to legalize cannabis from the outset, and the system

surrounding the Act’s implementation is more guarded here to say the least.

In terms of agriculture the new Act isn’t going to mean a great deal since the cannabis one will buy in the shops will be grown under some rather strict licenses, at least initially as the overall system has something of a developmental learning curve ahead of it.

But there is another side to this story, or at least potentially another side, which should have farmers much more intrigued.

With marijuana now available in select stores, the cloud of arrest for using the product recreationally

Agriculture THIS WEEK

Calvin Daniels blown away, it could open the door to more attention being paid to hemp, and its potential across a range of sectors.

“Hemp, or industrial hemp (from Old English hænep), typically found in the northern hemisphere, is a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant species that is grown specifically for

the industrial uses of its derived products,” details Wikipedia. “It is one of the fastest growing plants and was one of the first plants to be spun into usable fiber 10,000 years ago.

It can be refined into a variety of commercial items including paper, textiles, clothing, biodegradable plastics, paint, insulation, bio-

fuel, food, and animal feed.”

It is hemp’s ability to annually produce large quantities of biomass which can be used in such a diverse range of products which has long intrigued producers.

The crop could create a viable rotational crop option, for producers, which would also take them into markets away from traditional cereal and oilseed ones.

Hemp has never really gotten off the ground as a farm crop because of it familial connection.

“Although cannabis as a drug and industrial hemp both derive from the species Cannabis sativa and contain the psychoactive component tetrahydrocannabi-

nol (THC), they are distinct strains with unique phytochemical compositions and uses,” states Wikipedia. “Hemp has lower concentrations of THC and higher concentrations of cannabidiol (CBD), which decreases or eliminates its psychoactive effects.”

Now with the Cannabis Act in place the opportunity exists for greater research and development of hemp both in terms of being a farm crop, and in terms of its end uses.

Long term that may prove the most important aspect of what the new Act came to allow.

Calvin Daniels is Editor with Yorkton This Week.

Farmers back in field to finish harvest Although wet and cool weather conditions last week continued to delay harvest in much of the province, many producers are back in the field or will be soon. Eighty-two per cent of the crop is now in the bin, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Weekly Crop Report, up from 78 per cent last week, but behind the fiveyear (2013-2017) average of 91 per cent for this time of year.

The warm and dry weather forecast for the next week or

more will allow producers to resume combining.

Harvest remains most advanced in the southwest, where 90 per cent of the crop is now combined, and in the southeast, where 89 per cent is combined; these numbers are unchanged from two weeks ago. Producers in the northeastern region have 79 per cent of the crop combined; the westcentral region has 74 per cent and the east-central region 68 per cent. Producers in the

northwestern region have been delayed by frequent snowfalls, but now have 45 per cent combined.

Eighty-six per cent of durum, 83 per cent of barley, 72 per cent of spring wheat, 67 per cent of canola, 63 per cent of canary seed, 46 per cent of flax and 39 per cent of soybeans have now been combined. Most crops are coming off tough or damp and are being placed in dryers when available.

Most regions in the province reported small amounts of rain and snow, although some areas in the central regions received close to 25 mm. Topsoil moisture conditions are relatively unchanged from last week.

Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as three per cent surplus, 71 per cent adequate, 20 per cent short and six per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as two per cent surplus, 61 per cent adequate, 27 per cent short and

10 per cent very short.

Lodging caused by snow and rain continues to cause crop damage. Geese and other wildlife are feeding on swathed crops, while some standing crops have shelled out. Crop quality has been affected due to bleaching and sprouting.

Autumn tunes

The Yorkton Community Choir and Community Band filled St. Andrew’s United Church with gorgeous music last Sunday as part of their fall concert event.

My brief window of homelessness I didn’t prepare to be homeless for an entire three hours. I didn’t tell anyone that I was going to be doing an elaborate stunt for the sake of a column. That’s because I didn’t actually plan on being homeless. I mean, there is naturally the philosophical question of who does plan to be homeless, really? In this case it’s more that I accidentally locked myself out of the house when taking out the garbage.

Still, given that I couldn’t get in the house, I knew that my time without a home would last at least until my fiance was back from work, which was three hours later. I

could have, in theory, called a locksmith, but why do that when I could just endure three hours of cold? I had a warm jacket.

At first it wasn’t that cold, so I entertained myself by listening to music in the garage.

Naturally most homeless people don’t have a garage, but my garage could easily be a substitute for any makeshift shelter, since it’s a basic structure with no heat.

Do homeless people have a phone to listen to music on? Maybe, and I’m sure they can leech off Tim Horton’s wifi in the same way I was just using my home internet if they did.

Thinking I do with words...

For the first hour, it was fine and roughly aligned with my extremely ambitious plans for the evening, which mostly involved listening to music. Luckily my lawn furniture was also fairly comfortable so it wasn’t that far off from sitting on

Halloween food drive planned

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Halloween can be about more than wearing costumes and gathering bags of candy.

For the third year, a group in Yorkton is using the night of fright to help ensure the local Salvation Army Food Bank will have full shelves as they undertake their ‘Hunger is Scary Food Drive.’

The volunteer group collect non-perishable food items for the Food Bank, canvassing on Halloween night, collecting non-perishable

food items rather than the traditional candy.

They “chose Halloween because people are generally more accepting of people coming to their door asking for food,” stated the group’s Facebook page.

The group hopes to have enough volunteers to eventually be able to canvass the whole city in one night.

Anyone wishing to volunteer can email ckkolson@sasktel.net Donations can also be dropped off at the Family Worship Center at 491 Broadway St. E.,

the Good Earth’s Shop at 385 Broadway St. E., or the Bank of Montreal.

my couch. I assume real homeless people do not have excellent reclining lawn chairs.

The thing is, even if it wasn’t cold at first, the cold accumulated, leading me to start to question how I could warm up. I decided to walk to a nearby gas station, because it was open and also had heat.

The issue with going to a store was that typically a store expects custom-

ers to buy things, and my wallet was in my house beside my keys. I was also the only person in the gas station, which made it slightly awkward when the nice man who was working watched as I studied bottles of Mountain Dew intently, as though the secret of life could be found on their labels. As a result, I left because it was weird.

The problem with being homeless was a combination of cold and boredom. I decided to walk around my neighborhood mostly because it took time and I couldn’t think of anything else to do.

I couldn’t really type on my phone because the cold made my fingers move slowly. Eventually I just didn’t know how to spend the time anymore.

I had exhausted the

amount of entertainment a phone could provide and my fingers didn’t particularly like being outside of my pockets anyway. I counted down the minutes before my salvation finally got home from work.

I didn’t have any deep insight to gain from my brief time being homeless. I already knew that being outside on a cold day wasn’t very enjoyable and I also knew that being homeless was bad, too.

I also knew that being stuck without money limits the amount of stuff you can do. Really, the only thing I managed to learn from the experience is that I should probably take my keys along when I take out the garbage. It’s a valuable lesson from which we can all benefit.

Tips for planting your tulip bulbs

The Yorkton and District Horticultural Society is delighted to be available to gardeners through our website, www.yorktonhort.ca Visit the site and see what’s new with the group, as well as upcoming events.

Our November meeting, on Thursday, November 22, is our AGM and is for members and invited guests only. Then comes the meeting where the board of directors gathers to discuss and plan the events and speakers for next year! It’s a busy time, but as gardeners we are always looking ahead!

Let’s sit down with a cup of tea and chat about tulips for a few minutes.

Someone asked me once why tulips bulbs have to be planted now; couldn’t they be planted in the spring? I did some homework and learned that tulip bulbs need a period of “chilling out” before they will grow and bloom.

It is the cold that starts the chemical process that will bring the bloom in the spring. Without this, nothing would happen.

It’s such fun to plant tulips — it takes hardly any time, and rewards us with a beautiful show in the spring! Now is the time to plant tulips; if we plant them too early they may start to grow, and when winter does come, they’d be done.

When planting tulips, dig a deep hole, eight or nine inches deep. If you are a very particular planter, I read that the depth of the planting hole should be three times the height of the bulb. This sounds fussier than planting needs to be: a hole depth of eight or so inches is just fine for most tulip bulbs. Choose a sunny location with good drainage, because they don’t like their feet to be wet.

If you want to give the bulbs a treat, add a couple handfuls of compost to the hole, or some 5-10-10 fertilizer. Mix it well into the soil so that it is not touching the bulbs directly. Then place the bulbs a couple inches apart in the hole. Please,

DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

Gardener’s Notebook please do not plant tulips in a straight line! They look much more natural and have more impact when planted in clusters or drifts. One lonely tulip bloom in a row looks pretty sad; but ten or twelve together in a clump have a real visual “wow” factor!

Once the bulbs are in place, backfill, and be sure to mark them with sticks so that you don’t inadvertently dig them up in the spring. Been there, done that! It’s very disappointing to start your spring work and dig up a lovely tulip bulb by accident!

Tulips are such a bright and cheery sight after the long, bleak winter. That splash of color in the garden breathes new life into our winter-weary souls! I may have told you this story: when our Toby (our beautiful black Lab) was still with us, he came outside with me one fall day when I was planting tulips. By this time he

was quite sick, so I bundled him up in his little coat and brought out his pet bed so he could sit with me and be warm.

As I planted those tulips, I can tell you that many tears fell because I knew Toby wouldn’t be with us by next spring when they bloomed.

That next spring, by a heavenly gift, they all burst into bloom on the same day, a cluster of brilliant orange tulips blazing in the spring sunshine. What a sight to restore our heavy hearts!

In my mind’s eye I could see Toby again on that fall planting day, smiling his big doggy smile at me, and when those tulips bloomed they were a wonderful reminder of our special boy. They are still in our garden, and still a sight to enjoy each spring.

As gardeners, we always look ahead with hope and joy! Have a great week! Happy Birthday, sweetheart!

Grab your partner and dance your faith “It’s time to get your faith dancing,” croons gospel singer Sandi Patty.

I’m sure she means those good days, when you live up to what you say you believe, and know you’d die for the same. When you sit slow at Jesus’ feet, and stand fast for what you know is right. When you stay silent in the face of accusers, but speak up in the face of wrong. When you love the things God loves, hate the things he

hates. When you wake up excited to serve others and fall asleep in peace, thinking… “God and I were SO GOOD today.”

On those days, the music of life is sweet and the dance of faith is beautiful.

I’ve had some days like that. One, at least. I’ve had plenty more when it seems I can barely take a single step without messing up. When my walk of faith feels less like a dance than a series of

bumbling missteps in all directions – rather like trying to perform ballet while wearing clogs.

Then I have a father memory, and I remember what to do.

Years ago, while Dad still had his health, I tried to show him a polka step I’d learned for my role in our community’s production of Oklahoma.

A few steps into it, Dad grinned. Cleared his throat. “That’s not how you do the polka,” he said. His feet tapped the floor in front of his chair, demonstrating steps they hadn’t taken in a halfcentury, since the days when he was the most sought-after dancer on the barn dance circuit; before his love for dancing out his faith overshadowed his passion for dancing a fine reel.

“You put this foot

here, and that foot there, and your rhythm is all wrong — ya’ don’t do it so fast.”

I started over. A one, two, three… and a one, two… trip.

He chuckled and shook his head. “Nope.

Still wrong.” I tried again. Tripped over my feet again. Messed up the rhythm again. He outright guffawed this time.

“Daddy,” I said, frustrated. “Just get up and show me!”

He grinned, a boyish grin. As though he’d been waiting for me to ask. Standing up, he took me in his arms. “Just follow.” As I leaned into him, I started to catch the rhythm. The pattern began making sense. And in my father’s arms, the

steps came not perfectly, but at least more naturally.

The dance of faith is best done like that.

Folded in our Heavenly Father’s embrace, moving to the Holy Spirit’s rhythm, following the steps of Jesus Christ. That doesn’t mean the dance doesn’t get messy, that toes won’t get stomped on and steps missed. Or that we won’t stumble.

But falling, faltering or fumbling doesn’t mean failure. Failure is stopping your ears to the music of the Holy Spirit.

Refusing to get up, to begin again, to follow.

How goes your faithdance? If you need to start over, Father God is longing for an invitation to lead.

There were two dominant sounds in the dark Melville theatre: Eminem’s yelps-disguised-as-rap and my cackling laughter.

I couldn’t stop myself.

As the credits rolled and Eminem strung together rhymes about wearing an alien suit, I was overcome with a severe case of the giggles. I let out a harsh laugh that threatened to overpower the booming rap beat. Much like Robert De Niro in Cape Fear, I filled the theatre with my obnoxious guffaws.

When I watch a movie, I try to be respectful.

When I was 17, a friend and I were scolded by a stern father for talking during the oh-so-riveting dialogue of Cowboys and

A love letter to Venom

Aliens (remember that dud?). That lecture stuck with me. When I’m in a theatre, I keep my chatter to a minimum. People paid their hard-earned money for a ticket; who am I to ruin their experience?

But during this particular flick, I couldn’t help myself. I chuckled, snickered, and chortled through the entire runtime. I sat there with slackjaw amazement, my eyes refusing to believe what they were seeing.

What film could make me such an annoying movie patron? Venom (even writing the name makes me giggle).

Venom is garbage.

Hideous, unsightly, glorious, beautiful garbage.

It’s the type of film that,

SEAN MOTT

Settling in... had it come out 10 years ago, would have killed the burgeoning superhero movie genre. It’s an ugly film populated with stupid characters, sickening CGI, and stilted dialogue. It’s the worst superhero movie since Suicide Squad. I love it.

Back in college, I had a roommate who extolled the virtues of bad movies.

He told me he’d rather watch a jaw-droppingly

bad film than a genuinely good one. I couldn’t wrap my mind around such a philosophy.

To be sure, I’ve enjoyed plenty of “sobad-they’re-good” movies in my time. I’ve busted my guts laughing at Batman and Robin, The Room, and Bratz: The Movie. But none of them compared to films of actual quality. I’d watch

Gone Girl over Taken 3 any day of the week. I thought my friend was off his rocker.

But as the years have gone by, I’ve come to appreciate his stance.

There is something...special about a truly awful film. It reaches a level of transcendence good films can’t touch. Terrible films show us the grasping overambition of humanity matched with utter incompetence.

Horrible movies give us a chance to laugh at our own hubris.

Venom is one such bad film. It’s a 10-car pileup of bad decisions, bad casting, and just plain badness. Tom Hardy, a talented actor, delivers a mumbly, jittering perfor-

mance that looks like an audition tape for a Freakazoid adaptation.

Entire scenes and subplots seem to be ripped from the final film without any care for how they impact the story. The climatic final battle mimics the look of two bowls of spaghetti smashing into each other.

I don’t want to spoil the rest; Venom has to be seen to be believed. It’s the type of awful film that puts a smile on your face.

It’s horridness reignited my hope for cinema. If something like Venom can go so wrong, it’s truly a miracle so many other films don’t follow its path. Venom is the feelgood movie of the year.

Bless you, you ugly ball of sub-2004 CGI. Bless you.

Four chartered buses that will all be running from the Gallagher Center starting at 6:15 p.m. and will continually run as long as there is passengers, they will not leave anyone stranded at Jaycee. There is NO bus service from the mall this year.

Raiders advance to league final

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Regional High School Raider Gridders will be defending their league championship Saturday.

The Raiders advanced to the Moose Jaw High School Athletics Association League final with a win on their home field this past Saturday where they defeated Moose Jaw Peacock 35-8.

Raider head coach Roby Sharpe said Peacock proved pesky in the semi-final.

“We played them in the regular season and beat them pretty handily,” he said.

But the playoffs are a different thing, and through the first half Peacock stayed close.

“With 30-seconds left (in the half) it was just 7-0,” said Sharpe.

The Raiders had chances early, but yellow nylon on the grass proved a problem for the home team.

“We probably had 15 flags (against the Raiders),” said Sharpe. “It was hard to get into a flow.”

Those flags even took points off the board at times. Yorkton had a 40-yard scoring play “that was called back because of holding,” said Sharpe.

Yorkton would score in the final 30 seconds of the half to open up a 14-0 lead and that seemed to spark the Raiders.

Sharpe said it was a case of his team coming off a bye week and a couple of weaker team wins at season’s end that

seemed to have had them a step out of sync.

“We hadn’t been in a really tough game of football for weeks. We had to knock some rust off of our blades,” he said.

With the lead, Sharpe said at half time he just worked on getting his team refocused.

“I told them it was one of our worst halves of football we had played all year,” he said, adding he challenged them to put their best half on the board the rest of the way.

While Sharpe said the Raiders “played well” the rest of the way, if not their best of the season, as they rolled up the 35-8 win, with Moose Jaw getting their major on a Hail Mary pass on the

final play of the game.

The Raider win advances them to the final against Moose Jaw Central, a team they beat in the regular season. However, even though Yorkton topped the league through the regular season and defeated Central, the final Saturday will be played in Moose Jaw. Sharpe said they had thought the rules changed to have the top ranked team host, but they have learned that is not the case, although the Raiders hosted in 2017 when they faced another nonMoose Jaw based team.

As for what to expect in the final, Sharpe said Central has a good quarterback and a couple of good receivers, but they will spend this week preparing a game plan based on game film.

Terrier offence keeps team atop Viterra

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Terriers remain atop the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League’s Viterra Division, with a pair of wins this past week helping their cause.

The Terriers have an 8-5-1 record for 17 points, three up on second place Estevan and six up on third place Weyburn.

Melville is in the basement of the Viterra with eight points.

The week’s work included a weekend swing north to play a pair in Flin Flon. The goals came often at the Whitney Forum, home of the Bombers.

On Friday, Nate Cooper started the festivities with a goal 5:46 in for the host Bombers, but a pair of goals by Jared Legien sent the teams to the dressing rooms with Yorkton ahead 2-1 after 20 minutes.

The second period was all home team, as Dawson McKenzie started a sixgoal deluge 1:59 into the frame. Daylan Marchi, Vincent Nardone, Caleb Franklin, and Brandson Hein with a pair also scored for the Bombers.

The Terriers did rally

in the third on goals by Cody Bruchkowski, Dino Antoniadis and Cody Dubas, but would come up short in a 7-5 loss.

Ben Laidlaw started in the Terrier net taking the loss in giving up six goals in 20 shots, before being relieved by Ryan Ouellette.

Jacob Delorme had the Bomber win facing 28 shots.

The two teams went back at Saturday, with the Bombers starting things with a pair of unanswered first period goals from Hein and McKenzie, both coming on the powerplay.

In the second the teams traded singles, Legien putting the Terriers on the board early and Marchi scoring late for Flin Flon.

In the third it would be the Terrier offence that would have a big 20 minutes as Bruchkowski scored a pair of powerplay goals and Mason Mullaney and Quinten Hobbs added singles for a 5-3 lead before Hein added his second powerplay effort of the game to make it a 5-4 final.

Ouellette earned the win for Yorkton facing 30-shots, while Jeremy Dutcawich faced 45 in

the loss for Flin Flon.

Yorkton head coach Mat Hehr said in spite of Friday’s loss the weekend was a good one.

“It was a tough game Friday, but we had a good bounce back Saturday,” he said.

The comeback effort actually started after the second period Friday when nothing went the Terriers’ way.

“It was just one of those spans of about nineminutes where everything they shot went in,” said Hehr in reference to the Bombers second period Friday.

Hehr said sometimes when things just go so

wrong it’s easier to get past them, adding the Terriers responded with a solid third, dragging themselves to a 7-5 score before some penalties hurt their comeback bid.

Hehr said the Terriers are certainly showing greater resiliency this season, a situation he credits to his returning players having learned from last season’s losses, and the arrival of key 20-year-olds who “bring a calmness to the dressing room.”

It helps that the Terrier offence is rolling. The Terriers have scored 61 goals this season, second only to

Flin Flon (with 72) and the Bombers (who have scored two more games).

The Terriers also have three players in the top10 in scoring, including Jared Legien who is second with 26 points, four back of Bomber Brandson Hein. Branden Klatt sits in a three way tie with 21, and Aiden Bulych, the only rookie in the top-10, has 20.

“We have all four lines scoring right now,” said Hehr. “… It’s not just one line doing it all.”

Wednesday win

Notre Dame visited the Farrell Agencies

Arena last Wednesday where the teams traded first period goals.

Tanner Tarbell opened the scoring for the visiting Hounds, with Jared Legien knotting the score with a powerplay marker.

In the second period it was a Hound goal sandwich as Jared Hamm scored for Notre Dame between Terrier markers by Branden Klatt and Chantz Petruic.

In the third the Hounds pulled ahead as Noah Bankowski tied the game 3-2 and Hamm used the powerplay to net the go-ahead marker at 9:04.

Arena game a soap opera for sports fans Arena football is a game I could easily be a huge fan of because the offences roll and games take on a near basketball ebb and flow in terms of scores.

However, it has been years since the Toronto Phantoms were in the Arena Football League from 2001-2002.

The team was shortlived and now the AFL is essentially on life support with only four teams playing this past season.

The league seems to have been one that grew too quickly and likely spent too much on talent to sustain itself based on its core audience.

While the most notable arena league appears on its death bed, the sport is still alive.

There are actually a plethora of indoor football leagues stateside.

They seem to pop up and disappear practically overnight when you

delve into the sport just a bit. Stability seems to be the elusive element for the sport to find.

Last spring I happened on the Indoor Football League with its game available weekly on YouTube.

The league includes the Sioux Falls Storm based in South Dakota, so I tuned into a few games as late-night entertainment.

The league had six teams this past season but that was down from 10 teams in 2017.

Yes, the league has been a bit of a yo-yo in terms of its make-up.

In fact, going into the 2018 season, the Bloomington Edge and West Michigan Ironmen had announced they would join the IFL, moving over from the Champions Indoor Football league.

Ah, but that didn’t make the CIF happy so

CALVIN DANIELS

Sports they headed to the courts and had a temporary injunction to prevent the move.

It’s so much like a game of whack-a-mole.

The Omaha Beef recently posted a video where they announced they would be staying in the CIL for 2019. You would not see that in most leagues. Imagine the Calgary Stampeders making a formal announcement they were stay in the CFL not moving to the soon-to-appear (and no doubt soon-to-fold) XFL part two.

It suddenly became

a soap opera that I find myself intrigued to follow.

The story of the IFL has continued to be almost like some 1920s barnstorming baseball league.

Cedar Rapids changed its name from Titans to River Kings, a minor move set against what has rolled out in recent weeks.

The IFL accepted an expansion team in Tucson which soon after announced it would be called the Sugar Skulls, which might be the most unique team name in

sports.

The Quad City Steamwheelers were then announced to be joining the IFL, again a team moving from the CIL. The Bismarck Bucks have since followed the Steamwheelers over from the CIL, which of course leaves me wondering if another court challenge is pending.

The Bucks moving does mean anyone in our area intrigued by indoor football can motor less than six hours to see a love game.

It also means the league grows closer to Canada, which could one day mean a team on this side of the border, although among a myriad of rumours about more IFL expansion, and there are probably a dozen cities in the rumour mill, none are on this side of the border.

Watching the storyline of the league play out is

almost mesmerizing. The list of teams, what cities they call home, and the leagues they play in change like the fabled shifting sands of a desert.

The sport would benefit from the IFL and CIL joining into a single entity that would boast 20-plus teams allowing for divisions to be established so teams could save on travel, yet have the larger league as a foundational support.

But alas it is unlikely those behind the two league are on each other’s Christmas gift lists. The time may come when they make the move for the good of the sport, but I don’t have the feeling it will be anytime soon.

In the meantime this has become my ‘sports opera’ of choice to follow via the ‘Net, for the simple craziness of the off field wranglings in a sport that is still a lot of fun to watch.

Saints Regional soccer champs Sacred Heart High school boys soccer team captured their 5th consecutive Regional 2A Boys Soccer Championship in decisive style Saturday in Kipling. They defeated Notre Dame Hounds 12 to 2 in the Regional Final.

They displayed great ball possession particularly in the first half of the game. They led 8 to 1 at the half. Goal scorers for the Saints were Nick Fetsch with 8 goals, singles added by Caleb Hove, Alex Mushanski, Alfonz Dionisio and Success Agomuoh. The back four defenders (Brady Gelowitz, Andriy Usan, Ievgen Lavrentiev, Dawson Malinowksi and Alex Mushanski when Dawson was injured) built from the back from keeper Tami Ogunbiyi.

Midfielders (Success Agomuoh, Dami Ogunbiyi and Jon Fetsch) as well as wingers (Alfonz Dionisio and Caleb Hove) controlled the tempo of the game and the centre of the field. Striker Nick Fetsch did what he does best and put the ball in the net.

This win advanced the Saints to the provincial championship next weekend in North Battleford. The Saints are in quest of their 5th consecutive provincial medal.

-Submitted

The Sacred Heart High School Saints won their 5th consecutive Regional 2A Boys Soccer championship. They will continue to the Provincial championship in North Battleford.

terriers Continued from Page B1 Terrier Brendan Mark would tie the game 4-4 with a goal at 16:41, and then with only nineseconds left on the game clock Benjamin Solomon would pot the winner for Yorkton.

Ben Laidlaw earned the win in the Terrier net facing 41-shots, while Andrew Henderson took the loss for the Hounds facing 37.

Up next

The Terriers have a week to prepare for their next game, a make-up tilt in Melville Saturday.

Hehr said after giving the team a couple of days off, they will spend Wednesday to Friday working on the details of the game, in particular the penalty kill which gave up four goals Saturday in Flin Flon.

Wins still eluding Midget Maulers

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Wins remain hard to

come by for the Yorkton RawTec Maulers.

Saturday the Maulers hosted the Saskatoon

Blazers.

The visitors scored 13 seconds into the game on a goal by Max Gudnason,

but a powerplay effort by Justin Broekel would tie the score.

The Blazers would get a powerplay goal of their own with 4:10 left in the first to lead 2-1 after 20 minutes of play.

The second period would see the teams’ trade single markers: Alex Saretzky for Saskatoon and Carter Dereniwsky with a powerplay effort for Yorkton.

The third would have only one goal scored, a powerplay effort by Josh Nagy for Saskatoon, rounding out a 4-2

Blazers win.

Aiden Elmy was in the Mauler nets where he faced 27 shots in the loss, while Brett Mirwald had the win for Saskatoon facing 26.

Sunday the teams went back at it.

The Blazers scored three unanswered goals in the first period, with Nolan Flamand, Josh Nagy, and Rhett Gibson popping the goals.

The second period was a mirror-image of the first, with Max Gudnason scoring twice and Gibson getting his second of the game as well to extend

the Blazers lead to 6-0.

Justin Broekel would spoil Matthew Presenti’s bid for a shut out with a powerplay goal for the Maulers with 3:06 left in the game to make it a 6-1 final.

Kael DePape took the loss in the Mauler net facing 39-shots.

The losses leave the Maulers with a record of 1-11 and two points, last among the 12 teams in the Saskatchewan AAA Midget Hockey League.

The Blazers lead the league with a 10-1-1 record for 21 points.

The league-leading Saskatoon Blazers took two games from the Yorkton RawTec Maulers on the weekend.

Junior Hockey League players face off against concussions The Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL) and The Co-operators announced recently the first national concussion program available across the CJHL to safeguard player mental and physical wellbeing. The CJHL Concussion Program Funded by The Co-operators, establishes a mandatory concussion protocol for the CJHL that will implement clear guidelines for the recognition, assessment, and management of concussion. “Player safety is our number one priority,� said Brent Ladds, President of the CJHL. “The long-term effects of concussion are a growing concern for our organization, our athletes and their families. This is a major milestone for improving concussion management standards in junior hockey.

We are grateful to the SJHL Assistance Program which provided the foundation for this program. Thanks to the partnership with The Co-operators we are able to make it available to our players across the league.�

Although most individuals who suffer concussion recover without lasting effect, research shows that 10–20% of concussion patients may face a difficult recovery, sometimes leading to mental health issues. “We recognize that junior hockey players can be vulnerable to concussions because they’re playing a contact sport. We want to support them

as they pursue their hockey careers by providing an extra safety net with this concussion program,� said Kevin Daniel, Executive Vice President at Co-operators Life Insurance Company. “We see supporting initiatives like this that protect mental health, especially for youth, as an essential part of our commitment to building healthier, more sustainable communities. We’re proud to work with the CJHL on this national concussion program to provide peace of mind for parents, players and the league.�

The CJHL Concussion Program will use innovative mobile and web-based software from HeadCheck Health, Inc. (HeadCheck) that will allow team trainers to perform the concussion protocol and the league to monitor compliance.

Under the new program, a player’s concussion history will be digitally tracked and transferred with them for more informed healthcare decisions. “We look forward to working with the CJHL to ensure that all players, regardless of team or skill level, will be afforded the same level of concussion care, said Harrison Brown, CEO of HeadCheck. “We’re very pleased that The Co-operators are aligned in our mission of improving player safety.�

HeadCheck and the CJHL will regularly review aggregate data and continuously improve the program.

STINKA - James Stinka of Yorkton, formerly of the Buchanan district, beloved husband of Dianne Stinka, passed away on October 14, 2018, after a long and happy life filled with family, friends and farming. James (Jim) Orest Stinka was born on August 25, 1938 on the family farm south of Buchanan, SK, where he lived almost his entire life. Jim is the sixth of twelve children of John and Polly (Hupka) Stinka. In his youth he attended Vasloutz School and excelled at sports, particularly hockey. After his mother passed away he left school to farm with his father, later buying his own land and taking over the family farm. In 1971 he married Dianne Delday, the love of his life. Together they farmed and raised two daughters, Natashia and Wendy. Jim worked very hard and was a successful grain and cattle farmer until selling the farm in 2012. In retirement Jim transitioned from caring for cattle to feeding an assortment of birds; from seeding wheat fields to carefully tending to the garden. Jim enjoyed being outdoors in nature, be it watching baby calves play, having a wiener roast with his family, picking mushrooms in his tried-and-true spots, or taking scenic drives in the country. He loved to talk politics and visiting with friends, he obsessed about the weather and he held faith that he might someday celebrate a Toronto Maple Leafs Stanley Cup victory with his wife and children. But most of all, he was proudest of his family to which he was devoted and the highlight of his life was having grandchildren and the time to spend with them.

WILSON - It is with deep sadness that the family of Irene Adeline Wilson announce her passing on October 12, 2018. Mom was 87 years young. She was born to Frank and Mary (Kish) Czinkota on December 20, 1930 on the family farm, Sec. 33, Tp. 24, Rge 5, W2.

Grandma Czinkota delivered this tiny 3 lb. 8 oz. bundle of joy. Mom enjoyed growing up near Otthon. It was here she attended West Otthon School and later the Yorkton Collegiate Institute. Mom also attended the West Otthon Hungarian Presbyterian Church. In 1948 mom started work at Fort San. She worked as a nurse’s assistant.

These were some of the best years of her life - meeting new people and making lifetime friendships. Mom loved the work and the people she cared for. In 1950, while visiting Saltcoats, mom started working at the Saltcoats War Memorial hospital, where she continued working until the early 1960’s. It was at this time that she met Lorne Wilson. They were married July 6, 1951 and blessed with four children. In 1968 mom began working for the Parkland Regional Library as a librarian in Saltcoats. She held this position for 17 years. Summers were spent at the cottage at Good Spirit Lake, fishing trips to Flin Flon with Rudy, Vye and Rick, camping trips to different parks with family and trips to Sioux Lookout to visit family. Mom and dad loved travelling and touring. They visited Hungary twice, connecting with family there. They became snowbirds and started visiting Mesa during the winter and eventually bought their own place there. Mom talked of the Craven Music Fest, the fun they had and the memories made with Jock, Ruth, Eva, Casper and Lois. Mom was always there to help us with anything we asked. She was our rock. She loved her garden, flowers, reading, canning, cooking and baking. Keeping in touch with family and old friends was very important to her. Mom was predeceased by her parents, Frank and Mary, brothers Kenneth and Edwin, great-granddaughter Devon and nephews Dennis and Lorne. Mom is survived by her husband, Lorne, children Cindy Wolfram, Brenda (Bob) Devins, Rick (Cathy), Barb (Lars) Bergren; twelve grandchildren Amanda, Charla, Marisa, Michael, Shantelle, Adele, Cara, Mitch, Kris, Yoland, Amanda and Lars, Jr; eighteen great-grandchildren, sister Violet Molnar and nephew Barry (Jeanne) Czinkota. A funeral service was held for Irene Wilson on October 19, 2018 at 10:30 a.m. at the United Church in Saltcoats, SK with Rev. Jen Dresser officiating.

Interment followed in the Saltcoats Cemetery with Michael Devins as urn bearer. Arrangements for the late Irene Wilson were entrusted to Christie’s Funeral Home, www.christiesfuneralhome.com.

OSCIENNY - William Basil “Bill” September 28, 1918 - September 13, 2018. Bill Oscienny passed away peacefully on September 13 in Campbell River, BC - his home for the last few years. Bill was born on a farm near Yorkton, SK into a first-generation immigrant family of 14 children. The Oscienny family surname was unique - the only family in Canada with that name.

Bill and his 13 siblings have always lived in, loved and collectively made Canada their home. Bill took most of his education in a one room rural elementary school in Yorkton. After graduating he followed with teacher training in Moose Jaw. His first teaching position was challenging; a one room school with 50 pupils - grades 1-10. After six years teaching in Saskatchewan, he came to BC to teach on Quadra Island. During this time, in 1949, Bill travelled to Victoria to attend summer school and at that time he first fell in love with the area. His next teaching position, though, found him in the Williams Lake School District. He taught at Forest Grove followed by the 100 Mile House School. Bill met his future wife Hilda while teaching in Forest Grove; they married and their idyllic little cabin at Canim Lake became the backdrop for their life together. It was while living in the Caribou that babies were born and their family took shape. They made this area their home until Bill got his coveted opportunity in Victoria in 1957 where he taught until his retirement in 1979. Bill had arrived - he was in Victoria - as far as he was concerned there was no better place to live. Bill enjoyed many years of competitive curling at the Racquet Club of Victoria and a key volunteering activity for him was at the Victoria Commonwealth games. Travel was also something Bill enjoyed, whether just to their lakefront cabin at Lake Cowichan; road trips in the van to gamble in Reno or to visit family in Saskatchewan.

Global destinations included Argentina, Greece, the Soviet Union, Australia, Mexico, Central America, Grand Cayman and numerous parts of Canada and United States. Dad was a man who made the most of the materials he had at hand - ‘recycling’ before this was even a word. He maintained his can-do attitude until health concerns beginning in early 2014, at age 95, saw him and Hilda move closer to family. Bill enjoyed over 50 years in their beloved family home at Varsity Place in Victoria where he enjoyed gardening, always eager to share his apples in the fall!

Left with wonderful memories are son David (Brenda); grandchild Ashley (Darin), great-grandchildren Ryder, Bryan (Summer), Cameron (Miriam) and Darin; daughter Darlene Smid (Jan); grandsons Zackery (Rosemarie) and Matthew. Our extended family of cousins, nieces and nephews in BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan, share memories as well. Bill is survived by one sister, Nell in Vancouver. A Celebration of Life location and date will be announced in the coming weeks. Arrangements entrusted to Island Funeral Services/Elk Falls Crematorium, Campbell River, BC, 250-2873366.

WALSH - It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Grace Joanne Walsh of Yorkton, SK, beloved wife of Donn, at the age of 68 years. Grace’s loving and full life began in Yorkton.

She attended Wallace School and Yorkton Composite, graduating from Yorkton Regional in 1968.

She tried the University of Saskatoon, but instead changed her mind and attended SIAST to become a certified dental assistant.

At age 16, in 1966, Grace met Donn. They were married in 1970 and lived in Regina. Grace had many busy days around their home, raising one boy and maintaining a house and garden while working outside the home. In 1976 Grace and Donn moved to Rhein and took over the family farm, where they lived until 1998. On the farm, she had one girl and three more boys. From 1991 to 1998 Grace operated the Rhein Lucky Dollar Store, a role she loved because it involved her in the community. She loved running the store. In 1998 Grace and Donn moved to Yorkton and eventually to Kamsack where Grace began working at the Nursing Home in 2001. She loved the Residents and the work she did there. She worked at the Kamsack Nursing Home as a Special Care Aide until 2013 when she retired at the age of 63. Retirement brought more time with family and friends, time to travel to Arizona, playing cards and cooking - and lots of time with the grandchildren. Grace’s big smile and warm heart complimented her kind, gentle nature. She loved shopping, sewing with her sisters, attending the grandchildren’s sporting events and spreading love wherever she went. Grace loved her family above all else.

Prayers for Grace were held on October 21, 2018 at 7 p.m. at St. Gerard’s Parish in Yorkton, with the Funeral Mass following October 22 at 10 a.m. with Fr. Louis Kim Nguyen officiating. Grace was laid to her final rest at Yorkton City Cemetery with Michael, Trent, Sean, Ryan, Craig and Tom Walsh as pall bearers. Donations to the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency or to St. Gerard’s Parish were gratefully accepted. Grace is survived by her husband, Donn, her children Michael (Lori), Carrie, Trent (Marcy), Sean (Angie) and Ryan (Robin); grandchildren Rebecca, Andrea, Jessica, Zachary, Katie and Tyler; siblings Dorothy (Eric) Cropper and Edie (Barry) Chornomydz. Grace is predeceased by Albert and Frieda Weinmaster. Arrangements for the late Grace Walsh were entrusted to Christie’s Funeral Home, www.christiesfuneralhome.com.

ASK program upcoming

By Rachel Kraynick, PAg.Agriculture Program Specialist, Yorkton Once harvest wraps up for another year, producers often spend some time reflecting on what went well, and what could have gone better over the past growing season. They also begin to strategize for next year and look for ways to improve their bottom line. One way to get the upper edge on the competition is to arm yourself with knowledge. After all, late-fall and winter are the perfect times to enroll in a course and focus on how to work smarter, not harder.

The Agricultural Skills and Knowledge (ASK) Program is one of the many programs offered under the Canadian Agriculture

Partnership Programming that focuses on risk management. This program assists producers by cost sharing in educational expenses for farm management courses and training activities. Many of the courses currently registered with this program focus on marketing, human resources, succession planning, strategic planning and understanding farm structures. Generally speaking, these are the core areas that strengthen the financial backbone of a farm.

Applicants must successfully complete the course or training activity before a claim is made and only ASK registered courses are eligible for reimbursement.

Eligible applicants must be a Saskatchewan resident, 18 years of age and older and demonstrate a minimum of $50,000 gross farm

SHHS ends season with a loss in Esterhazy

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Sacred Heart High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football season did not go as the team had hoped. The Saints didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t manage a win in 2018, losing their final game in Esterhazy 35-28.

The Esterhazy game was a reflection of the previous game against the team, again winding up in a one-touchdown contest against the Warriors.

In Sacred Heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s division Foam Lake finished first in the league, with a perfect 6-0 record.

Helionox takes deck-building to the stars Deck-builder games have become a definite area of interest for our gaming group.

It helped that our first taste of the genre was the breakthrough game Dominion, a deck builder which really helped create the genre by its success.

In the wake of Dominion there have been a raft load of games which have utilized the deck-building mechanic is a variety of ways; ranging from basic deck-builders like Ascension to games such as Motherload where the mechanic is part of a more multi-faceted game experience.

With so many games out there, the result has been great games and weak ones, with a lot slotting in somewhere in between. The mechanic alone is not a guarantee of a good game.

So every time a new deck-builder comes to the table it’s a bit of ‘a cross-your-fingers and hope it’s good’ scenario.

Well that crossing of fingers certainly worked in the case Helionox: Deluxe Edition from designer Taran Lewis Kratz and Mr. B Games.

So from the game site; “Helionox: Deluxe is a movement based sci-fi strategy deck-building game. It combines deckbuilding and board game elements to create a robust gaming system that provides maximum replay value, a minimal learning curve, and a short setup time.

“Players compete for ‘Influence’ by overcoming both social and stellar events, traveling to different locations around the solar system to establish embassies and gain special abilities, and acquiring powerful

THE MEEPLE GUILD (Yorkton) meeple.guild@gmail.com technologies and operatives from an abundant marketplace.”

That might not sound all that special, but it didn’t take long once we got into our first game to realize Helionox was a cut above the average in terms of game experience as a deck-builder.

To start with the game does set up quite quickly, although that tends to be a common aspect of many deckbuilders.

The sci-fi-themed art in Helionox is very strong, and that is

important since you will be handling a fistful of cards in the game. Nice art adds to the experience. That is one of the downfalls of Ascension, where weak art detracts from the game.

In terms of game play, cards here all tend to offer you a positive option in terms of game play, which is a plus.

There is a frustration when cards in your hand are useless at times, and that is rarely the case in Helionox. There may be times when the cards

don’t let you do the optimum move in the game, but you can usually do something.

Helionox is not just a hand of cards either.

There is a board game element with players hopping world-to-world overcoming problems on their way to earning points.

The elements of Helionox add up to an

outstanding deck-builder-based game experience, one that rates this game in the top tier of the genre.

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