Bells for peace November 11, 2018 marked 100 years since the end of the first World War. To mark the anniversary and remember those who died, Legion branches across Canada rang bells to commemorate the end of the war. In Yorkton, five locations rang the bells, including the Western Development Museum, where the Yorkton Army Cadets rang the bell from the former City Hall. Staff Photo by Devin Wilger

Peppler newest Chamber life member By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Gerry Peppler was inducted Thursday as the latest life member of the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce. “Every week day morning for 27 years, Gerry Peppler was in the homes of residents in the Shamrock TV station viewing area as hostess of the Morning Show. She

has been described as the ‘face of the Yorkton TV station’ for the 32 years in which she was employed there,” said Mayor Bob Maloney in reading the citation at an induction luncheon at St. Girard’s Parish Hall. Maloney noted that through her lifetime Peppler has been a tireless volunteer devoting countless hours to organizations and causes

which seek to enhance the community. “When the decision was made to develop a crisis intervention program to work with the Yorkton City and Yorkton Rural RCMP in assisting victims of crime and trauma, Gerry was selected to sit on the inaugural board of Parkland Victim Services. For 25-years she has served on the Board and is the

Secretary Treasurer,” detailed the citation. “Gerry has been greeting people as they arrive in the Admitting Department of the Yorkton Regional Health Centre for the past 23 years. She has also worked as a volunteer in the Gift Shoppe for 25 years and served on the Board of The Health Foundation,” read Maloney.

Farmer award to Weinbender family By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer

When the 2018 edition of the Farmer Recognition Award was presented at the Grain Millers Harvest Showdown a family wellknown in the Charolais cattle sector were the recipients. Carey and LeeAnn Weinbender, who along with their family; Sarah, Laura and Dale, collectively operate Sliding Hills Charolais, received the award at the grain awards night Thursday. “This is a very great honour for us,” LeeAnn told those in attendance, adding it is gratifying to be recognized in a business you have to immerse yourself in every day.

“I think we’ve lived, slept, breathed agriculture all our lives,” she said. “… It’s pretty overwhelming.” “We’re pretty honoured,” Carey would later tell Yorkton This Week. Carey said many of their efforts were successful because of the support of others. “We’ve been fortunate to work with great people,” he said. The award is not the first for the family. The Saskatchewan Charolais Association formerly presented its major annual award to a Canora-area farm family presenting them with the Breeder of the Year award during Canadian

Peppler has also been sitting on the Yorkton Housing Authority Board for 25 years, serving as the Chair for 20. She is also a member of the City’s Protective Services Committee. Peppler was also the President of the Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers Association and served on the Board for 15 years. She also served 15 years on the Board of

Western Agribition in 2017. The combination of awards essentially marks a quarter century-plus of dedication to their farm and to Charolais cattle. In the case of Carey and LeeAnn the award also marks nearly a quarter of a century of dedication to the Charolais breed. Carey’s grandfather ran commercial cattle running Charolais bulls for a number of years, then in 1993 Carey and LeeAnn purchased their first purebred Charolais when they were looking for a way to diversify their cattle operation to become a little more specialized, opting to get into the

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer With a chill in the air and snow on the ground the Salvation Army is set to begin its annual Christmas fundraising campaign. The kettle kick-off will be held in conjunction with the annual Teddy Bear Toss scheduled for the Nov. 24 Yorkton Terrier game against the Humboldt Broncos, said Lieutenant Samuel Tim of the Yorkton Salvation Army. The Salvation Army is looking for volunteers to look after the kettles. Shifts are only two hours, and people interested can contact Mary at 306-316-0265. Kettles will be located at the Parkland Mall, Save On Foods, Superstore, Walmart, and the downtown Liquor Board Store. The goal this year is $90,000, an amount eclipsed

She has been an active member of Beta Sigma Phi for 58 years,” detailed the citation. In the past Peppler was the first Yorkton recipient of the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal. She has also been presented with the YWCA’s Woman of Distinction Award for her Contribution to a Rural Community; the Leadership Award from Toastmasters International; and as an outstanding citizen, she was presented the Saskatchewan Centennial Commemorative Medal in 2005. “What an honour to receive this prestigious award,” said Peppler after the presentation. “… Thank you very much Yorkton Chamber of Commerce.” Peppler said she recently noted the plaque at the Chamber office with the list of life members. “What an honour for your name to be on that plaque, to be recognized for what you’ve done in your life,” she said. Previous life members are; Brigadier General Alexander Ross and Howard Jackson, the first so-honoured in 1969, and since that time George Morris, G.H. Howie Alberts, Stan Stephenson , Norman Roebuck, Keith Harper, Winnie Spence and John Miller, Ruth Shaw, Allan Bailey, Ray Malinowski, Kathy Connors, Dr. Fay Myers, Tom Seeley; Dave Farrell; Dick DeRyk; and George Gallagher.

purebred seedstock business. Today the family operates 14 quarters of land, half dedicated to grain production, the other half for hay and pasture for their herd of 120cows, most being purebred Charolais with a small commercial herd used for embryo transfers. The purebred business does mean more management than having a straight commercial herd with the work coming in keeping records in particular the detail of following bloodlines. It also means marketing the genetics which the Weinbenders have done the past 12-years by hosting a production sale selling bulls each April, the most recent sales being held on the farm. While the purebred herd has meant more onfarm attention needed, the Weinbenders have also always found time to give back to the breed on a broader level, involvement that was part of the reason for the Farmer Recognition Award. Carey sat on the provincial association board for nine years, the last year as president. And that philosophy has passed onto the Weinbenders children who have all been involved in 4-H and the junior Charolais program. LeeAnn noted the children have been very involved in the breed

Following Thursday’s presentation LeeAnn said it is important to give time to having youth involved in the farm and agriculture programs. “We need our youth in agriculture,” she said. “It’s great for us to see our kids in the industry.”

It is also time for those in need of a Christmas food hamper, or toys for children, to make an application. The applications are available to fill out on location at the Food Bank on Betts Ave, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Wednesdays 12-2. Applications are being accepted from Nov. 1 to 29. The hampers and toys will be dis-

tributed the week of Dec. 17 to 21. A new initiative is also launching to help the Salvation Army collect toys with a ‘Kids Helping Kids’ toy drive taking place at the Parkland Mall Nov. 16 to Dec. 16. The effort will include an ‘angel tree’ with cards identifying specific toy wishes of children, explained Tim. People can take a card from the tree, buy the associated toy, and return it and the card to the mall location. The program kicks off at 2 p.m. Nov. 16.

Perspective Meili, NDP not providing alternatives

Politics There is no question that Saskatchewan’s NDP are bringing up legitimate government spending issues — big spending issues and small spending issues. Whether it’s the $1.9 billion spent on the Regina by-pass, the highly questionable $103,000 an acre costs Global Transportation Hub (GTH) land or even the recent controversies over how much Premier Scott Moe is spending on travel, these are issues any good opposition should be raising. And hey are important issues because they are about holding government to account on behalf of everyone. You may recall a highly successful Saskatchewan Party opposition of more than a decade ago that vowed not to be the kind of government that picks winners or losers or wastes money on pet projects or frivolous travel. Well, as so often happens with aging governments that have been in power for a while, time has a way of causing you forget what you believed in opposition. You start to justify a few too many exotic trips like Moe’s trip this month to India or justify some bad spending choices. In the case of the GTH or the by-pass, you may even see government throwing good taxpayers’ money after bad. Sometimes, if they are bad enough and if there are enough of these issues, they can contribute mightily to unseating a government. After a 16-year-run, the last NDP administration fell victim to the Spudco scandal and a series of others spending missteps. They say elections are for governments to lose. That said, most of the time, it’s a little bit more complicated than that. While governments plagued by scandal and debt and deficits do get voted out, as was the case of the Grant Devine Progressive Conservative government in 1991, there still has to be a viable alternative. To replace a government, Oppositions must have alternative ideas and plans that are not only different from what the current government is offering but also ideas that are more pleasing to the voter. It is here where NDP leader Ryan Meili and the NDP clearly needs to step up. In fairness, it’s still two years before the next election because the Sask. Party has now extended this term to four years and seven months. It would be a tad early for the NDP to be releasing an exact platform. But one might think after 11 years of wandering the opposition wilderness, we might be getting a broad, general understanding of not just what the NDP opposes but also what it stands for. So far, what the NDP have mostly provided is opportunities for the Sask. Party government to tee off on the Opposition for be indecisiveness. Consider this Justice Minister Don Morgan response in question period last week: “Mr. Speaker, the members opposite, they ask: travel, don’t travel; carbon tax, no carbon tax; drill, don’t drill; leave it in the ground, take it out of the ground; pipelines, no pipelines,” Morgan charged in the assembly Monday. “Mr. Speaker, they are all over the map. I can tell this to the Leader of the Opposition. He’s going to go the same way as (former leaders Dwain) Lingenfelter and (Cam) Broten. I can see a hat trick coming up.” Of course, Morgan was engaging in a little politics. But Saskatchewan voters do want their governing party to take decisive stances on key issues like the carbon tax and pipelines. One thing Meili is proposing is a plan to steadily replace existing Saskatchewan pipelines on a scheduled basis. Energy Minister Bronwyn Eyre called it a “hare-brained scheme” that would cost taxpayers $50 billion. She added it was also completely unnecessary because the pipelines are regularly inspected. If the NDP are to make inroads, they need to offer solid ideas — not just criticisms. Murray Mandryk has been covering provincial politics for over 22 years.

◆Editorial◆

Harvest Showdown a connection to rural roots T he annual Grain Millers Harvest Showdown is always one of the most interesting annual events in our community. The reason the show holds special interest is that it remains an event which has agriculture as its central focus. That singular focus is important as something of a tether between the urban community of Yorkton and the largely rural area the city serves. It is increasingly easy, even in a small Saskatchewan city, to forget about the significance of farming. For many the only connection to the agriculture sector is seeing a large combine or tractor on a dealership lot, and not really understanding its on-farm use, or driving by fields as we motor down highway, again often not sure exactly what crop is growing in a particular field. But farming remains a critical aspect of the city’s economy, and on a larger scale of the economy of the province and of Canada. When the Yorkton Exhibition Association, (YEA), and Yorkton Chamber of Commerce appeared before Yorkton Council in October asking that the City proclaim the week of Nov. 5-11 Agriculture Week in Yorkton, it was not surprising Council was unanimous in supporting the request. After all, in making the request Ron Hanischewsky, general manager of YEA noted more than 60 businesses in Yorkton are directly involved in serving the farming and ranching community;

and estimated that for every job in the agriculture industry another seven jobs are generated in the economy. It is of course more than dollars and cents too. Agriculture puts food on the plate of everybody around the world. It might seem food magically appears on the shelves of grocery stores, but somewhere a farmer has worked hard to grow the food whether it is cattle for hamburgers, or the pears and peas, turnips and cantaloupes we buy for the family table. That is where Harvest Showdown shines. Hundreds of students toured through the event having a chance to see up close where their food comes from. That is important knowledge as many people no longer have a direct connection to the farm. While a special effort is made in terms of educating youth, adults also have the opportunity to better understand about the food they eat. The event is also a gathering place for regional farmers and ranchers. After a harvest that dragged on and on because of the weather this year, having a chance to get together with other farmers to talk grain grades, cattle genetics and hockey scores, is important, and Harvest Showdown allows for that too. It is indeed a place for rural and urban to intermingle and the city is fortunate to have such a long-running venue for that interaction.

Coulee near Whitewood named for veteran A beautiful coulee along Pipestone Creek, south of the Town of Whitewood, has been named after Lance Corporal Wilfred Jordens, a Saskatchewan son and brave fallen Canadian solider of the First World War. “Through the G e o M e m o r i a l Commemorative Naming Program, the Government of Saskatchewan is pleased to announce the naming of Jordens Coulee,” Parks, Culture

Lance Corporal Wilfred Jordens

and Sport Minister Gene Makowsky said. “Jordens Coulee will honour the legacy of Lance Corporal Wilfred Jordens, who left our province to serve and ultimately, sacrificed his life for our freedom.” Jordens was born in Lebret on January 16, 1896. He was farming near Whitewood when he enlisted in 1915. He served with the 28th Battalion, Canadian Infantry – Saskatchewan Regiment and was killed in action on August 21, 1917 at the age of 21. His body was never found and likely remains interred on the battlefield with more than 11,000 fallen Canadians, who along with Lance Corporal Wilfred Jordens are remembered with honour on the Vimy Memorial at Arras, Pas De Calais, France. “We know that Wilfred Jordens will rest eternally in the soil of Europe

Beware of carbon monoxide danger More than 300 people die and hundreds more are hospitalized each year in Canada due to carbon monoxide (CO) exposure. The Ministry of Government Relations’ Public Safety Division and SaskPower are reminding you to have a working CO alarm in each major area of your home, just like smoke alarms. CO is an invisible, odourless, colourless gas created when fuels burn incompletely. CO exposure is often confused with the flu, as both have similar symptoms like headaches, nausea, burning eyes and dizziness. However, continued CO exposure can lead to confusion, drowsiness, loss of consciousness, brain damage and death. The number of CO incidents increase during winter as citizens rely more on natural gas appliances like their furnace, hot water heater, stove and dryer – appliances that can become a source of CO in the home. Building a fire in a fireplace or starting up a gas

alongside the other Canadians with whom he so gallantly fought,” nephew and nominator Thomas Jordens Sr. said. “Through the GeoMemorial program, the official naming of this coulee enables the story of Wilfred’s service and

gency responders and others killed while serving our country or province. Since its inception, nearly 4,000 geographical features, such as lakes, hills, and valleys, have been named across Saskatchewan. To learn more

History Corner Treacherous all-night fire confined by able firemen Smith Block fire at #29 East Broadway on July 1, 1961. The photo shows a fireman running for his life as the wall comes tumbling down. It was a fire that started around midnight and was under control three hours later. There was of course, some damage to the neighbouring businesses; the R.A. Patrick Block on the east and the new Smith Block on the west side. Fire Chief Burton Harper, seven professional firemen, 12 volunteers and six helpers were deserving of great credit for confining the fire to a small area--basically the property area. They were aided also by the R.C.M.P. There was no loss of life and no one was seriously injured. The damage was estimated at round $191,000.00. Deputy Mayor Rudy Schick acting for Mayor Fichtner praised the men of the helping professions, and expressed sympathy for the businesses located in this block. A former owner of the Smith Block Mrs. M. Houston of Vancouver, formerly Mrs. Mervin Carson of Yorkton wrote the following to the newspaper: This block was once mine, built by my late husband Mervin Carson 65 years ago (around 1895), sold to Mrs. J.B. Gibson who sold it to Bert

“A dedicated alarm is the only reliable warning that carbon monoxide is present,” Ministry of Government Relations’ Assistant Deputy Minister of Public Safety Duane McKay said. “Install both smoke alarms and CO alarms in your home. The early warning these alarms provide give you and your loved ones the time you need to escape dangerous situations.”

Ensuring that your natural gas appliances are properly installed, maintained, and inspected by a licensed gas contractor can also reduce your likelihood of CO exposure. As with smoke alarms, follow the manufacturer’s directions when installing your CO alarm and test it monthly.

Organization focuses on aiding victims By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer

Services with PVS.

Parkland Victims Services (PVS) continues to provide support for those needing help in times of crisis throughout the region. That was the message those attending a Yorkton Chamber of Commerce luncheon last Thursday from a brief presentation by Cheryl Tiller, Victims

coordinator

Tiller said the local organization was something of a pioneer. “It was the first RCMPbased organization in the province,” she said. From the day of its founding until now, Tiller said the PVS has provided needed aid, adding no one knows when they might need the help they

offer.

of Justice.

“The effects of crime … are around us every day,” she said, adding those effects can include anger, fear, and emotional and physical issues.

Since they are connected with the RCMP Tiller also noted, “We work closely with police.

“We can play an important role in the life of a victim,” she said. The PVS is now 25-years-old and is a nonprofit organization funded through the Ministry

“When there is an incident that’s where we come in.” The incident can cover a range of things from accidents, death, sexual assault and more, said Tiller, adding they are often on site with police

when they are delivering devastating news. “It’s where we catch them when they (victims) fall,” she said. However, “we are not a counselling system,” added Tiller. Instead, “we are a support and referral organization,” she said. It is also an organization serving a large area covering 10 RCMP detachments from

Kamsack to Wynyard to Moosomin. “We serve a very large geographical area,” said Tiller, adding that they have 29 volunteers serving the area.

The future of farming

The future of agriculture is sitting in school right now, and Grain Millers Harvest Showdown had school tours giving kids the chance to learn all about farming, including using VR and learning how someone can test the quality of Canola.

Local Government Week proclaimed The first-ever Local Government Week has been proclaimed in the province at the joint request of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM), the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA), and the Saskatchewan School Boards Association (SSBA). S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s Government Relations

Minister Warren Kaeding officially proclaimed the Week, which runs from November 12 to 16. “Mayors, reeves, chairs, councillors, trustees, and administrative officials all contribute to shaping the quality of life delivered to our province’s citizens and their families. They all play key roles in working with their neighbouring communities and other government partners. On

behalf of the Government of Saskatchewan, it’s a pleasure to have this week recognize their valuable contributions and insights that help keep this great province strong,” said Kaeding. “SARM understands the important role reeves and councillors play in governing RMs,” said SARM President Ray Orb. “We are committed to building capacity at the local level and

are pleased to recognize Local Government Week.” “Local governments are responsible for the services and infrastructure that many residents rely on daily,” said SUMA President Gordon Barnhart. “Local Government Week provides a formal opportunity to highlight this work and more.” The call to recognize

Local Government Week with an official proclamation from the province emerged through discussions between the partner organizations as an excellent opportunity to increase awareness and engagement in the province’s systems of local democracy. “Locally-elected governments are the voice of the people and provide connection and accountability to communities,”

said SSBA President Dr. Shawn Davidson. “Decisions are best made at the grassroots level and local governments have credibility and relationships with their communities.” Join SARM, SUMA, and the SSBA for a Local Government Week media event today at TCU Place, 35 22nd Street East, Saskatoon in Gallery Suite II. The media event will start at 1:30 p.m.

Theresa Thompson went to a closet recently, dug out a box that had contained her wedding dress for years. “It was time to get rid of my dress, I’m divorced,” said Thompson. But she took a final look in the box, and it was not her dress. “I hadn’t opened it in 20-years … It was the veil, but the dress was pure white satin. Mine was a cream,” she said. While losing her dress was not particularly devastating because she had

Rail line north remains one of interest The Hudson Bay Rail Line has always been a creation of hope for Western Canadian grain farmers. But, it has never been completely clear if that hope has been justified, or is merely the stuff of fantasy. The Hudson Bay Route Association has clearly been on the side of the hope for the rail line to Churchill as being of unrealized potential in terms of being the shortest route to get grain onto ocean water for much of the Prairie region. The organization, which can trace its roots back to 1924, have always been proponents for utilizing the route

north to the Port of Churchill. But there has never been a steady flow of grain along the rail line. The reasons are many, some real, and some likely more imagined as a way to stave off requests to use the line more. The Bay does end up frozen over each year, limiting ship access, although modern ice breaker technology has likely extended that season. And the rail line itself has never been up to the standards of the main lines, and without the big players involved the incentives to roll rail stock north is certainly limited.

Agriculture THIS WEEK

Calvin Daniels The situation was made worse, if that was actually possible, last year when spring flooding badly damaged the rail line. That was bad news for Churchill as the line is the only land link to the rest of Canada. One can imagine the impact on supply prices, travel costs and the like

when air, or short season sea traffic are the only access points. That may be changing as the long story of the rail line appears to be embarking on a new chapter. Recently, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, along with Minister Jim Carr, announced that, by the end of November,

the rail line will resume its operations, servicing both passengers and freight. They also announced more than $3.8 million toward 40 projects that will increase tourism, provide skills training, help offset the freight costs stemming from the rail line closure, and open the door for more investments in the community and more opportunities for residents. These investments, and the restoration of freight and passenger rail service, will help revitalize and diversify the local economies in Churchill and other northern communities in Manitoba. The announcement

did not mention the potential of grain moving north. That might well be a lost opportunity, too dead to revive. Even in the days of the Canadian Wheat Board with some influence on where and when grain moved, the way north was little used. In the current marketplace there does not appear a single entity with a vested interest in trying to turn grain north again. But the revitalization of the line may open the north to new economies in the future which is good news in itself. Calvin Daniels is Editor with Yorkton This Week.

Repeat winner for Clydesdale Cup By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer On the heels of multiple wins at the World Clydesdale Show in Madison, WI., in October, Linda Banga captured her second Clydesdale Breeders Cup at this year’s Grain Millers Harvest Showdown in Yorkton. The Cup was a new initiative launched last year in Yorkton bringing the top qualifying horses from a series of summer fair events together for a final judging. The animals had to be bred in Saskatchewan but could have been owned by someone else.

Last year Banga topped the class with her seven year old mare Banga’s Keeva topped the class to take home the first Breeders Cup. And this year Keeva’s half-sister, Banga’s Reba took home the honours along with $1000 as owner of the winning horse, and an additional $500 to the breeder. “I don’t even know what to say. The calibre of the horses is so good,” said Banga after judge Randy Delgaty from Minnedosa, MB., made his selection Thursday evening. Banga said she has a rather small herd of

Clydesdales, 12 in total, so coming out with top animals every year is a challenge. “It was not easy to come out with another good one,” she said, adding she can’t keep every one of the colts born on the farm, noting she just sent Keeva’s foal to a new home in Texas, something that she admitted caused a few tears at the time. Reba and Keeva are both from the same mother, a mare that has since passed. “But I do have another sister (of the mother mare), and she’s 23,” said Banga. It helped Thursday

Reba was in prime show shape. The mare was one of the animals took south to the world show, and was the mare in harness that she drive to the women’s cart World Championship. The work in various driving classes had Reba fit for the Saskatchewan final. And now the champion mare gets some time off. “Tomorrow the shoes come off and she’ll be turned out in the pasture to just be a horse,” said Banga. And then it will be time for Reba to do what mares are meant to do. Banga said she has been

offered an opportunity to have her mare bred to the World Champion Stallion, and naturally she has said yes, adding she has already had people enquiring if the

upcoming foal will be for sale. The Clydesdale Breeders Cup was supported and sponsored by David Williams through his business Carpet One.

Crop insurance deadline tomorrow November 15 is the deadline to file post-harvest claims and 2018 production declarations. According to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s weekly Crop Report for the period of October 30 to November 5, 2018, harvest has all but wrapped up, as 99 per cent of Saskatchewan crops are harvested. SCIC is reminding customers to fill out their production declarations. By providing a clear picture of their yield, producers build their personalized insurance package and identify whether they are in a claim position. This ensures producers are accurately covered for what is

actually harvested. Producers are covered for both losses in yield and quality. If producers are in a claim position, the sooner they report production, the sooner the claim is processed. There is a late penalty for those who file after November 15 and any claim received after December 31 will not be processed. Producers can access their Crop Insurance information from a home computer or a mobile device with the online application CropConnect. Through CropConnect producers can file their declaration form and register a claim. If

they do not want to submit their information online, producers can complete the form, mailed to them in September, and return it by mail, fax, phone or drop it off at any of the 21 customer service locations across the province. If producers are experiencing delays and will not be finished harvest by the deadline, they should contact SCIC by November 15 to request an extension of insurance. To register a claim or request an extension of insurance producers can contact their local Crop Insurance

office or call toll-free 1-888-9350000. To access more information visit saskcropinsurance. com. For more information, contact: Tessa Krofchek, Communications Consultant Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation Phone: 306-728-7239 Email: Tessa.Krofchek@ scic.gov.sk.ca About SCIC Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) is a provincial Treasury Board Crown Corporation under the

portfolio of the Minister of Agriculture. The Corporation provides local service to Saskatchewan producers and continues to focus on its progress to meet the changing needs of the province’s farmers and ranchers. SCIC is responsible for administering a suite of business risk management programs: Crop Insurance AgriStability, Wildlife Damage Compensation Program and the Western Livestock Price Insurance Program. There are 21 SCIC Customer Service Offices throughout Saskatchewan. saskcropinsurance.com

Weather turn allowed harvest finish Warm and sunny weather in mid-to-late October allowed producers to return to the field and finish combining. Harvest has all but wrapped up, as 99 per cent of the crop is now combined, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Final Crop Report of 2018. Snow and rain in early November is delaying the harvest of the remaining crops such as flax and oats; however, producers hope to be back combining once the weather improves. Aeration bins and grain dryers have been in continuous operation on many farms for well over a month. Although harvest conditions were less than ideal for most of the fall, producers were able to pull off average to aboveaverage crop quality overall. Crops that came

off prior to the rain and snow in September have been grading in the top two grades, while some crops that have recently come off have been downgraded due to weatherrelated factors such as sprouting, bleaching, staining and frost. There have been limited reports of diseases such as fusarium head blight and ergot affecting crop production this year. Crop yields vary greatly across the province, mainly due to the amount of moisture received throughout the season. Overall provincial yields are about par with the 10-year average, although many areas are reporting higher-thanexpected yields thanks to timely rain. Yields in many southern and central areas were significantly affected by the hot and dry conditions this

Cattle on display

summer. Average provincial yields at this time are being reported as 43 bushels per acre for hard red spring wheat, 38 bushels per acre for canola, 22 bushels per acre for soybeans, 35 bushels per acre for field peas, 61 bushels per acre for barley, 1,236 lb. per acre for lentils and 1,153 lb. per acre for chickpeas. While topsoil and subsoil moisture conditions remain a concern in much of the province, they have drastically improved with the recent snow and rain. Significant moisture will still be needed heading into winter to replenish what has been lost throughout the growing season. Many producers have indicated that the subsoil is very dry and that growing conditions may be affected next year if conditions do not

improve. Heading into winter, topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as five per cent surplus, 64 per cent adequate, 24 per cent short and seven per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as two per cent surplus, 52 per cent adequate, 36 per cent short and 10 per cent very short. Average hay yields on dry land are reported as 1.0 ton per acre (alfalfa and alfalfa/brome), 0.9 ton per acre (other tame hay), 0.7 ton per acre (wild hay) and 1.7 tons per acre (greenfeed). Hay quality going into winter is rated as one per cent

excellent, 85 per cent good, 13 per cent fair and one per cent poor. At this time, most livestock producers have indicated that they will have adequate supplies of hay, straw, greenfeed and feed grain heading into winter; however, producers in drier areas of the province are reporting that they will have inadequate winter feed supplies and that shortages are likely if the winter season is extended. With the drier-thannormal field conditions at fall seeding time, the number of acres seeded to winter cereals is

below average in most areas; however, rain in September allowed the winter cereal crops to germinate and establish in many areas. When time and weather permit, producers hope to continue with fall work such as working and cleaning up fields, picking rocks, hauling grain and bales, moving cattle and putting down fertilizer.

Stephanie Buckle, owner of All About Flowers, said that they wanted to give people the chance to get creative and create something that nobody else would have in their home. Everyone starts with the same base, but it’s about the creativity that comes out when people decide to make their own wreaths. The basic steps are adding greens, bows and decorations, but Buckle admits that getting the details right and the mechanics behind putting the wreath together can be more complicated than that. Still, the idea behind the class is to allow people to be creative and be a guide as they build their wreath. “If there are people who are intimidated, we walk them through it.” The other advantage to making a wreath with the class rather than on your own is the supplies, Buckle said. All About Flowers has everything you need, while a last minute change in direction at home might require a last minute trip for supplies. “We had one lady [on Saturday], she started with a gold and red leaf.

Now’s the Time to Make Your Move If you’ve been thinking of a move to Yorkton Crossing Retirement Community, the time has come to act. Your new lifestyle will include delicious meals, impeccable housekeeping, a busy recreation program and the choice of support services.

Stephanie Buckle, owner of All About Flowers, does some work on a wreath at Harvest Showdown, where her store hosted wreath making classes. Then she started looking at the stuff and she switched her whole theme to gold and white. When you have all these decorations in front of you, you can do that.” That said, she admits that having a well stocked store can be a challenge when setting up for a show like Harvest Showdown, because they have to remember absolutely everything, especially supplies they take for granted. “You kind of forget what you all need because you have it there at hand.” While the wreath making class was their focus for Harvest Showdown, Buckle said their main goal was to show that while they might be all

about flowers, they’ve got more to offer as well. “We also have painting classes, we also have centerpiece classes, we have succulent classes. We do more than just this, it is part of what we do.” The class was a hit, and people couldn’t stop with just one wreath. “We had one lady who came in and wound up making four wreaths.” At the end of the day, the real advantage to making your own wreath is the custom factor, and Buckle said that if you make your own wreath, you’re the only person in town with one like it. “We have all started with the same bases and not one has looked the same.”

Tales of typhoons and cherry trees Here’s an interesting little factoid: what do typhoons have to do with cherry blossoms? More than you think! The world-famous cherry blossoms in Japan bring millions of tourists to see the breath-taking spectacle every spring. But guess what, some brave and confused cherry trees were budding recently! Why? The typhoons from this past summer have caused the trees to lose their leaves, and that gets a hormone going in the trees to produce buds. This is normally present in the spring when there are no leaves on the trees, not now. But from what I have heard, there aren’t that many trees bringing forth their blooms, so the blossom bounty should still be okay next spring! What an awe-inspiring sight it must be! From Japan to the prairies. The weather has gone into fall-winter mode, that’s for sure. But if you have some shrubs or tender perennials to protect for the winter, it is still too early to do that. The cozy environment that surrounds a protected shrub from this early in the season may fool it into thinking that “hey, this weather isn’t so bad!” and slow it from the process of going dormant. Then, when the weather really turns cold, quickly and dramatically, the plant will be ill-prepared and will suffer for it. When to wrap or protect these tender plants? We have to play it by ear and see when the temperatures begin to really go down and stay down; likely in a couple weeks. But we can do some of the prep work now. At this time you can pound stakes around the plant, in preparation of wrapping the burlap around the plant in a couple weeks. Just remember that you are trying to form a protective layer around the plant to stop

DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

Gardener’s Notebook the wind from whipping around it, and also create a layer of insulation from the cold. If you are wrapping cedars, the burlap helps protect the cedar from wind burn and dehydration through its leaves. If you feel that your plant needs more protection, you may want to form a cardboard barrier around it, using a box. This is more rigid and the cardboard is a good insulator. You could even combine this with the burlap method. Be sure the cardboard securely surrounds the plant; if you have saved some leaves from your yard clean up, you can fill the cavity with dry leaves. At that point, seal the top by closing the flaps or taping a cardboard cover in place, and you’re all set! We do this method with Mom’s special tree peony. That plant is very precious to us, it is a living memento of Mom’s beautiful yard. So we use burlap, leaves and cardboard, just to be sure it’s cozy for the winter! If you have a rose garden, and depending on

how much snow has fallen by the time you read this, you can still push the snow aside, mound some soil over the crown, then replace the layer of snow. Don’t trim any stems now. And don’t overlook one other excellent insulator: snow! Last year we didn’t have a chance to cover some plants, so once the snow came we mounded as much as we could over the various plants, and continued to do so with each snowfall till there was a substantial pile of snow over top of each. In spite of extreme cold they made it just fine. The next meeting of the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society is our “members and invited guests only” AGM. Call Liz for details, members. This marks the end of the gardener’s year for us, and is the time we look ahead and will soon start making plans for next year’s interesting program! Visit us at www. yorktonhort.ca to see what’s coming up! Have a great week!

Say yes to God in big things and small Yorkton This Week | www.YorktonThisWeek.com | Wednesday, November 14, 2018

“Ya know, hon,” I blurted, jabbing my finger in the direction of the television. “After watching that, I don’t even feel like a Christian!” We’d just viewed a documentary based on the life of a renowned Protestant missionary, author and spiritual giant. Amy Carmichael, a predecessor to Mother Teresa, established a similar work with children in India; a work that

continues today. The Preacher nodded. “I know.” Our felt spiritual inadequacies plunked themselves between us, like a mud splat on a windshield, ousting perspective. It returned when I realized that over the years, God has invited us to shine in dark places too; that he brings different-sized tasks to all his followers throughout their lives. And that often

a season of fruitfulness is followed by mud splats on our windshields, when

we feel a separation from usefulness. Amy herself wrote, “Sometimes when we read the words (or see the works – my edit) of those who have been more than conquerors, we feel almost despondent. I feel that I shall never be like that. “But they won step by step, by little bits of wills, little denials of self, little inward victories and faithfulness in very little things. “They became what they are. No one sees these little hidden steps. They only see the accomplishment, but even so, those small steps were taken.

“There is no sudden triumph, no spiritual maturity. That is the work of the moment.” I needed that reminder. A Christian becomes bold, big, giant even, by continually saying yes to God. By remembering that the “little hidden steps” (and they will never end) speak love as eloquently as big ones - cleaning a friend’s washroom, reading a child a story, making a hospital visit, speaking kindly to someone you dislikes us. And as a pair of good friends has just reminded me, saying yes to God means saying no to fear. Next year, they’ll travel to a highly insecure country on a practical mission, one that will enable people to hear the beautiful truth about God’s Son. “I can’t live scared anymore,” one said, “Too often, fear has stopped me from doing what I know God wants me to do.” So they said “Yes” to Every day service depart from Yorkton 8:00am from Regina 4:00pm

loving in Jesus’ name. Yes to volunteer their time and skills. Yes to the financial cost of months away from their usual professions. Yes to the reality that Christians are often persecuted, even murdered in that corner of the world. And yes to the certainty, the blessed assurance, that they don’t go alone.

Making gyms slightly less miserable

I recently bought a gym membership, which means I am paying someone to access a room full of things that make me unhappy. Which isn’t to say that gyms are a bad thing, indeed they’re a necessary thing, especially for folks like myself who spend most of their time sitting in an office. I do not have to like it, however. The trouble I have with gyms is that exercise is misery and pain. I recognize that it is valuable and that it’s for the better to get in shape. I also recognize that I hate it and dread the time that I spend there.

Modern gym equipment at least is designed for people who are only begrudgingly going there because some doctor might have mentioned that being more active could be handy for health reasons. They all have screens, for example, so you can watch television and bike instead of watching television and sitting on a couch. Sure, the couch is much better, but you need to move anyway so might as well bike for some of it. The greatest innovation is how the gym equipment is connected to each other internationally.

DEVIN WILGER

Thinking I do with words... I’m normally not a fan of the “internet of things,” the otherwise misguided attempt to attach every single device in the world to the internet for reasons that are rarely clear. I don’t need to activate my tea kettle from work with my phone, for exam-

Kinesiology grad Stephen Michael Abrametz convocated June 8 with a Bachelor of Kinesiology, majoring in Human Kinetics from the University of Regina. He is presently pursuing Sport Rehabilitation Therapy. Stephen will be starting employment with Alliance Health in Moose Jaw. Stephen is a graduate of the Sacred Heart High School in Yorkton.

ple. But there is a clear advantage to the exercise equipment being connected. What this system does is show you a wide range of people from around the world who are exercising on the same course as you. The courses are cobbled together footage from around the world. You can see if you’re going faster or slower than all these people who

you’ve never met. People are encouraged to set up a profile for fitness tracking, though I didn’t because I don’t want one, so presumably if people see me it’s just a Canadian flag and nothing. The funny thing is this all could be lies, it could be made up images to encourage you to keep going. You might not be very fit, but you’re beating this person who might be a dog or a family of four, so you’re doing something right! Or you could get a pesky guy who is biking at sort of the same speed you are and you must pass them for the sake of your pride. It didn’t make exercise fun, but it did make exercise tolerable, which is good enough. Naturally, most things

related to fitness just make me angry. If I am given a fitness tracker I will start it on fire. I don’t want to keep track of workouts, I don’t particularly want helpful advice from my phone. I don’t want all of these unnecessary training apparatuses that the fitness industry loves pushing on people, and I really don’t want this to be a ‘lifestyle’. I will begrudgingly exercise and all of the extras are just chaff. But I like the idea that some guy in Germany who bikes all the time and actually cares was out-biked by a mysterious Canadian ghost. If nothing else, that will make my time in the misery hole that is a gym worthwhile.

B SECTION

Ride of your life Professional Bull Riding made its debut in Yorkton at Grain Millers Harvest Showdown on Nov. 9 and 10, with some of the best bullriders in Canada wrapping up their regular season.

Lambert makes career riding bulls By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Zane Lambert recognized he wanted to be a bull rider at an early age. “I think I was 10-yearsold when I got on the first steer,” said the Professional Bull Riding (PBR) rider during an autograph signing at the Hitching Post in Yorkton Saturday. By the age of 12 the Ponoka, AB., cowboy was participating in Canadian Cowboy Association events, a relationship with the rodeo circuit that he recalls brought him to Yorkton in the past. “And I was jumping on amateur ones before that, when I was 10 and 11,” he said. Lambert said he realized from the first ride the sport was for him. “I was good at it,” he said. And the experience riding for years before he was old enough to drive a car would earn Lambert a scholarship at Vermillion. At the college he would expand on a friendship with fellow rider Aaron Roy, and refine his skills in the sport. “We really just went there to ride bulls,” said Lambert. That meant a weekly trek to the practice pen to ride bulls for the education of it. “It was pretty much bull riding 101,” he said. Certainly riding a bull can mean bumps and bruises, even in the practice ring, but that is simply part of the sport. “You’ve got to be serious about it. Every time you get on a bull it’s dangerous,” offered Lambert.

PBR Canada bull riders Wacey Finkbeiner, Aaron Roy and Zane Lambert signs autograpghs for Bo Walsh, Saturday at the Hitching Post in Yorkton. But riding with friends made it easier in terms of riding. “We had fun every time we went to the practice pen,” said Lambert. Lambert obviously learned a lot on those practice bulls as he has been riding bulls as a career. He said while in the past he did a little carpentry, it has been bulls and nothing but bulls for the past eight years, something he points to with pride. “Only a handful of guys in Canada do it,” he said, adding he hits about 60 events annually. “You could probably get to 80, or 100, if you went hard,” adding that when you factor in multiday events, like the New Holland PBR event in Yorkton, and championship rounds a rider can climb on up to about 150 bulls. “There’s not really time for anything else,” said Lambert, especially factoring in travel time

and recovery from the knocks of the game. Certainly dealing with hurts is part of bull riding, but Lambert said today the sports medicine side of bull riding is helping in terms of recovery. “We know more about injuries,” said Lambert, and that knowledge helps in terms of doing

the things to get the body back ready to ride. Lambert proved both healthy and successful last year. He overcame a 500 point gap in the national standings to earn his second PBR Canada Championship at the SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon in 2017. His first title was in 2013. Lambert, now 32,

joined Aaron Roy of Yellow Grass, SK., also a competitor in Yorkton on the weekend, who won the title in 2008, 2010 and 2012, as the only repeat title holders in Canadian history. Lambert also tied for the event victory in Saskatoon, earning his second consecutive PBR

Canada Finals event title, the first rider to accomplish the back-toback feat. In terms of riding Lambert said it comes down to a basic approach taking whatever bull he draws “one jump at a time.” The dual championships are certainly among the career highlights for Lambert, who also pointed to 2014 when he qualified for the World Championship. “On the world stage that was probably my best year,” he said. Lambert also lists being named to Team Canada for the third straight year as a highlight. He and the best of Team Canada, including Roy as coach and Jared Parsonage, who also competed at Harvest Showdown, will compete against teams from Australia, Mexico, Brazil and the United States in Texas in the new year. In Yorkton Lambert would buck off Friday, but scored an 85.5 on Saturday, good enough for sixth place.

Team-10 for CFL takes another step We went past the Canadian Football League semi-final games on the weekend, and are on the eve of the conference finals. Yet, arguably that is not the biggest news to come out of the CFL in the past week. The commissioner of the CFL Randy Ambrosie and Maritime Football Limited Partnership, the organization hoping to bring a franchise to Canada’s East Coast made an announcement last Wednesday that has to have league fans smiling. The announcement was the actual launch of a season ticket drive, and name the team contest, at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax. The announcement was part of an ongoing process to gauge interest for a CFL franchise in Atlantic Canada. The announcement comes on the heels of a unanimous vote by Halifax Regional Council

to direct staff to conduct a business case analysis on a 24,000-seat proposed stadium by Maritime Football. That unanimous decision by Halifax Council is seen as a positive step in its own right. It leads people to believe Council will be on-side in terms of supporting a build if the numbers crunch out right. That is a wholly reasonable position for a municipal council to take in a matter like this, especially at this stage in the process. Of course the proposed CFL team would be the anchor tenant of the stadium, which has an estimated price tag of up to $190 million. “This is a big day for Halifax and Atlantic Canada,” said Anthony LeBlanc, founding partner of Maritime Football Limited Partnership in a story at www.cfl.ca “It’s a day football fans have been waiting for and an important step towards bringing another profes-

ment of an awful lot of fans of the league. And that brings me to the post mortem of the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Going into this playoff run I truly believed any of the six teams could emerge with the Grey Cup without it being a surprise, so whatever teams wins along the way won’t shock. That said the B.C. Lions being totally demolished by Hamilton 48-8 was a surprise, especially considering Jeremiah Masoli didn’t even have a 300-yard game at quarterback. I had the TiCats as a Cup favourite up until Brandon Banks was lost for the season. I didn’t think they had the offence left they showed against the Lions. It should be a very good Eastern final. In Regina the game went about as one should have expected. The Saskatchewan offence has been generally abysmal this season, and that continued.

CALVIN DANIELS

Sports sional sports team to this region.” The season ticket drive is a rather reasonable effort asking for only a $50.00 per package and the deposit will place fans on a priority list for season ticket membership and seat selection on a first come, first served basis. Clearly the drive is about numbers stepping forward more than about creating any kind of cash flow. In addition, individuals who make a deposit for season tickets will be eligible to participate in a name the team contest. That is a rather cute addon, because it would be

a shock if the team is not the Maritime Schooners, a team of near myth in terms of the CFL already. The team name will be announced at a special event during Grey Cup weekend. “As Canada’s national league, the CFL aspires to have a presence from coast to coast,” said Ambrosie in the same cfl.ca story. “Our players want to play in the region and our fans tell us they want the league to expand east. We’re happy to see fan excitement growing for an Atlantic franchise.” I suspect that the Commissioner’s statement mimics the senti-

The weather conditions also dictated the need for a run game, Cameron Marshall had 14 yards, Marcus Thigpen had 15, that’s 29 combined yards on 12 carries. That speaks to the play calls, the offensive line, and the coaching calls collectively failing. The Bombers backup quarterback ran for 41-yards on only seven carries. And Andrew Harris buried the vaunted ‘Rider defence ripping off 153-yards averaging 8.1 yards per carry. The Roughriders lived all season on a big play by the defence. They never made a big play, and couldn’t stop the run on a day the weather said run the ball to win. After an Eastern final visit in 2017, the early exit on home turf is a regression for the ‘Riders. But, the Western final with the Bombers in Calgary should be a good one.

Terriers fall from first in Viterra Div. By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Two losses were enough to see the Estevan Bruins leap frog the Yorkton Terriers for first place in the Sherwood Division of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. The first loss came in Estevan last Tuesday, (Nov. 6). The host Bruins led 1-0 after 20-minutes of play on a goal by Michael McChesney. It took only 1:23 in the second before TJ Irey would give Estevan a 2-0. But a goal at 15:55 by Mason Mullaney would cut the lead in half sending the teams to the third frame with the Bruins up 2-1. The third would be the Bruins’ as Bryce Platt struck at 7:46 and less than a minute later Turner Ripplinger completed the scoring finishing the 4-1 Bruin win. Ryan Ouellette took the loss in the Terrier net

facing 45-shots, with Jake Anthony grabbing the win for Estevan facing 43. “I thought we played good enough to win,” offered Terrier head coach Mat Hehr, adding they out-shot the Bruins but we hit “a hot goalie.” Friday the Terriers were in Humboldt where a pair of first period goals would give the host Broncos a 2-0 lead which would hold through a scoreless second period. In the third Brayden Camrud would make it 3-0 on the powerplay. Clarke would complete his hat trick on the powerplay as well to make it 4-0. Jared Legien and Branden Klatt both scored on a Terrier powerplay, and then a marker by Cody Bruchkowski all in a span of 2:12 would put Yorkton in the game at 4-3. But that would be it for Terrier scoring, while Owen Guenter on the powerplay, and Logan Foster with 1:26 left in

the game would round out a 6-3 Bronco win. Ouellette again took the loss in the Terrier net facing 41-shots, with Dane Dow getting the win facing 37. “Obviously we have had a tough week. Now we find out what kind of team we have,” said Hehr. The two losses dropped the Terrier record to 10-9-1 for 21 points, now trailing Estevan by three points in the SJHL Viterra Division. Weyburn sits third with 18 points, with Melville fourth with 16. Legien was also the Canalta Hotel Player of the Week in the SJHL for the week of Nov. 5. He scored four-goals and four-assists in threegames played in the week. The standings set up a big game as Estevan visits Saturday, a game which will be played in Canora. “We practiced at the Kinsmen (Arena in

Terriers moving forward will include working on their transition game. That will be very import-

Yorkton) all week so we hope that helps,” said Hehr. Hehr said a key for the

ant in Canora where he said they will be playing “on the smallest neutral zone we’ll see all year.”

ENTER TO WIN A PAIR OF TICKETS TO:

Midget Maulers continue struggle to find wins By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The on ice struggles of the Yorkton RawTec Maulers continued Sunday at the Willow Cree Memorial Sport Centre. The first game was a make-up affair from an earlier encounter where ice conditions caused a postponement. The Beardys Blackhawks started the scoring with goals from Aaron Greyeyes and Nolan Doell. In the second Anthony Roebuck put Yorkton on the board but Jaxon Penner and Griffen Ryden would respond for the Blackhawks to extend their lead to 4-1 through 20-minutes of play.

In the third the teams traded goals, one by Daylan Weigel for Beardys and Josh Peppler scoring for Yorkton to make it a 5-2 final. Tyler Peterson was the winning goaltender for the Blackhawks facing 23-shots, while Aiden Elmy took the loss in the Yorkton net facing 36-shots. After wrapping up the rescheduled game the teams went at it again. This time Ryland McNinch gave the host team a 1-0 lead they carried into the second period. The second frame was almost all Beardys as Nolan Doell, Joey Hockley, Tyler Danielson, Ryland McNinch and

Daylan Weigel all scored for the Blackhawks. Only Austin Dycer responded for Yorkton as the game headed to the second intermission 6-1 for the home side. In the third Garrett Ellis scored for Yorkton, before Nolan Doell and Holden Knights rounded out the 8-2 Beardys win. Matthew Hennessey was the winning goaltender facing 34 shots, while Kael DePape took the loss facing 47. The losses leave Yorkton with a record of 2-18 and only four points, dead last in the 12-team Saskatchewan AAA Midget Hockey League, five points back of Battlefords, and 29 back of the front running Saskatoon Blazers.

Sacred Heart Saints end volleyball season By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The Volleyball season ended early for the Sacred Heart High School Saints Senior Boys volleyball team. The team was the host of the 4A Conference playdowns on Nov. 10, with the top teams advancing to the regional event. In the first match, Sacred Heart met Sturgis. The visiting team was the dominant one, taking down Sacred in straight sets. Yorkton then met Humboldt, the team which won the tournament overall at the end of

the weekend. Sacred Heart lost that game in straight sets as well with scores of 17-25 and 21-25. Humboldt was undefeated that day. The final game of the tournament saw the Saints take on Wadena. Sacred Heart was more successful taking on the Wadena crew, winning the game overall with two sets to one. The scores of those games were 24-26, 25-10 and 17-15. The end result was a Humboldt in the lead with the remaining teams in a three-way tie. The final result was decided the set ratio between the

teams. Sacred Heart needed to win in straight sets against Wadena to move on. As a result, even with the win, the Sacred Heart team wound up in the basement of the tournament standings, with Humboldt, Wadena and Sturgis moving on to the 4A Regional playoffs in Sturgis. Coach Curtis Moen would like to thank the grade 12 students who are graduating this year, Jett Stechyshyn, Carter Somogyi and Brady Gelowitz for their hard work with the team over the years.

Sacred Heart High School takes on Humboldt during the 4A Conference playdowns Nov.10.

YRHS makes it to volleyball provincials By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The YRHS Raiders Senior Boys volleyball team might be one of the youngest in the province, with only one grade 12 student on the squad, but that doesn’t stop them from winning games. At the 5A Senior Boys Regionals in Weyburn the team had a successful weekend, advancing to the provincial tournament in Prince Albert on Nov. 16 and 17. The team placed second in the pool play part of the tournament, losing to Balgonie – the eventu-

al tournament winners – but defeating the host team Weyburn. That sent the team to the quarter-finals against Moose Jaw Central, which the YRHS team won two sets to one. The semi-final did not go as well, with YRHS losing to the Swift Current team, which went on to win silver in the tournament. That meant that the next game was a must win if the team wanted to get a spot in the provincial tournament. They went up against Estevan in the bronze

medal match. The game went three sets, but the Yorkton team was victorious, winning two sets to Estevan’s one. This secured them the bronze medal and, more importantly, the spot in the provincial tournament. “[It] was grueling but the boys persevered!” said coach Dion Pfeifer. This is the first time that the YRHS team has earned a spot in provincials in six years. Pfeifer is excited that the team has made it to the tournament, and said it will be a great experience for the boys on the team.

The YRHS Raiders won bronze and a spot in provincials in Weyburn.

SHIPWAY - Susan Shipway (nee Norman) wife of Charles Shipway passed away peacefully on November 1, 2018. She was born to Mark and Lillian Norman in Willesdon, London, England. Susan met Charlie at the age of 14 on September 23, 1963 when she went for her 1st ride on a motorcycle. They continued their relationship and were married 3 years later at the age of 17. They took a leap of faith and moved continents when they immigrated to Canada in 1974. Bringing with them their most precious possessions a 2 year old boy and a 5 week old baby girl, and 5 suitcases. They chose to settle in Regina, SK. Unbeknownst to them the tourism brochure omitted the winter details of 40 below and 4 feet of snow! Susan found work at the Royal Bank and worked there for 12 years. In 1986 Susan and Charlie moved to Saskatoon. After their move to “toon town” they took up the sport of darts. Then both being English, they joined the Irish Club where they made numerous life-long friends. In 1998 they packed up again and moved to Edmonton. There Susan ran her own house and her in home daycare. In 2007 Susan and Charlie were on the move again this time returning to Saskatchewan, and settled in Churchbridge. This move gave her the added benefit of spending more time with her sister Janet; where they became inseparable best friends. In 2008, Susan had the devastating loss of her son Prescott when he was killed in Afghanistan. She became a Silver Cross Mother; attending all Remembrance Day Services where ever possible, in which she took great pride serving. Nine months after losing Prescott her spirits were lifted with the birth of her daughter’s first child a son Keegan. Following closely came Keegan’s sister Emilee; both of which were her pride and joy. Among her numerous hobbies she took to selling Pampered Chef products to which she was very successful at. In addition Susan became a volunteer for the HOPE organization, which is a peer support group for mothers’ of fallen soldiers. She was also a volunteer for the Lionesses in Churchbridge and the Churchbridge Housing Committee. In 2015 her life took an unexpected detour when she was diagnosed with Cancer. As with all her challenges in life, she went full steam ahead, with her usual fierce determination and her sense of humour. Not long after her first cycle of radiation she was seen jumping on the trampoline with her grandchildren. After enduring an intense 3 year battle, she was finally reunited with her son Prescott. Susan leaves to celebrate and cherish her memory her husband of 52 years Charlie; her daughter Samantha (Jason) Beausoleil; Keegan and Emilee Beausoleil; sister and best friend Janet Mould, her children; Stephanie (Dave) Smith; Hannah and Cooper Smith and Simon Mould. And a sister Pat (Bill) Barber, brother Brian (Pat) Norman and numerous nieces and nephews in the United Kingdom, along with her numerous life -long friends that she made where ever she went. A Memorial Service was held Friday, November 9, 2018 at the Churchbridge Community Centre with Doreen Day, Certified Celebrant officiating. Tributes were shared by Charles Shipway and Samantha Beausoleil. Honorary urn bearers were Bridget Hatton and Maggie Davey. Memorial donations may be made in memory of Susan towards Langenburg Home Care for Palliative Care or to the Angels of Hope Animal Rescue Esterhazy as gifts of remembrance. Condolences can be left at www.baileysfuneralhome.com.

KUSHNIR - Mary Matilda Kushnir (nee Semeniuk), fondly known by all as May, was born on June 7, 1914 on the farm near Sturgis, SK. The first child to William and Doris (nee Snihor). Her parents left their home in the Austrian-Hungarian Empire and came to Canada for a better life. They were hard working pioneers. Mom the oldest of 5 children, her sister Ann, Brothers John and Edward and lastly sister Rebecca. She had a happy childhood and would tell us stories of these times on the farm growing up. She attended Cavell school and often said how popular she was, as she had many friends. She rode horseback to school and to get the mail. She loved sports played on the school ball team winning at the big annual sports meets. She completed Grade 11 and had to leave school to help her mother on the farm. She had many interests, she yodeled, she was artistic and loved to draw and paint. A good seamstress, sewing may clothes for herself and others. She was always fond of pets, and she and Bill enjoyed many over the years. She enjoyed watching sports on tv, especially hockey, while she crocheted. Many people received her beautiful afghans and baby clothes as gifts. She also could embroider, a skill she taught her daughter Judith. As her family would tell anyone, her family meals were by far the best ever, as she enjoyed cooking grand meals for all to share. She loved fall, when she could create her many jams and relishes. She had a real flair for fashion. Over the years she was always well dressed wearing a hat and glove. She did this to hide her crippled fingers that occurred when she was very young by scalding them in hot milk. May was united in marriage to William (Bill) Kushnir on October 18, 1936, and they were married for 70 years until his death in 2006. For the first year they lived with her mother due to the tragic death of her father that spring. They farmed in the Hamton district, and then in 1956 they moved to Yorkton in the home Sharron and Dale resides in now. She and Bill had five children: Judith, Gerald, Darrell, Dallas, and Sharron. Mom and dad had started to serve Jehovah in the 1930’s. Mother remained faithful to her strong beliefs until her death. Her well used bibles are evidence of her reading them daily. As the years went by despite having health issues, and caring for her two sons that were ill, she always had time to share fully in the ministry. She will be remembered by many as a wonderful, kind and generous person. Her children and grandchildren certainly appreciated her gifts and care packages. How we loved and looked forward to these, including the jam, pickles and goodies she sent. Yes mom, over the years you have been a mother to be proud of, and we are grateful for what you taught us, despite poverty and hard times. But we did have happy occasions, attending family weddings and enjoying picnics at the lake, and many a berry picking trip when we were children. One memorable occasion was May and Bill’s 60th anniversary at the Gallagher Centre, when family came from all over to attend this celebration. Due to failing health mom went into long term care on June 26, 2008 in the nursing home, where she remained until her death. Sharron and Janet were diligent in visiting with her and seeing that she was well cared for. Every year, Darrell would come and visit, to make sure that she had some fun, even taking her to Good Spirit Lake for a picnic. We want to thank all those who cared for her while she was in the Yorkton and District Nursing Home. Mother always believed in the promise of a paradise earth, when peace would be restored to the earth by God’s Kingdom. She always loved to garden and I hope that one day she will be in a grand garden to enjoy. On Monday, November 5, 2018 May passed away peacefully at the Yorkton and District Nursing Home at the age of 104 years and 5 months. Besides her husband Wasyl, May was predeceased by two sons, Dallas in January 1991, and Gerald in August 1991; a sister, Anne (and Julian) Yale; and by her brothers William Semeniuk and Edward Semeniuk. She leaves to remember her and cherish her memory: daughter Judith Janet May Walker of Yorkton, her son Paul Kushnir & grandson Devon Kushnir of Yorkton; son Darrell John (Ruth) Kushnir of Niagara, ON, his daughter Tanya (Warren) Chin and their children Katelyn and Andrew; and son Alex (Esther) Kushnir, all of Ontario; daughter Sharron (Dale) Hudson of Yorkton, son Colin (Vesna) Hudson and their children Logan, Sophie, Stefan and Nikolas of Calgary, son Derek (Laura) Hudson and their children Kennedy & Gage of Airdrie, AB, son Joshua (Melinda) Hudson and their sons Sunnee and Liam, daughter Suzanna (Chris) Jones and their children Anthony and Alisha of Yorkton. Also a sister, Rebecca (Gene) Barber of Las Vegas, NV; and a sister-in-law, Pearl Semeniuk in Ontario. The interment took place on Friday, November 9, 2018 in the Garden of Devotion at the Yorkton Memorial Gardens. The funeral service was held on Saturday afternoon, November 10th from the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Yorkton with Mr. Glen Yale officiating.

Viola passed away on October 30 at the Yorkton & District Nursing Home with Sandy, her husband of 69 years at her side. Predeceased by her parents, Bill and Anne Ward, and her two brothers-in-law, John Brown and Dwayne Blanchard.

McINTOSH - Josephine McIntosh was born on April 5, 1925 near Jedburgh, SK to John & Lena (nee Bogdasavich) Popowich. She passed away peacefully on Monday, November 5, 2018 at the Yorkton & District Nursing Home. She was 93 years and 7 months of age. Josephine’s early years were spent in the Jedburgh and Yorkton areas. On May 2, 1956 she married Harry McIntosh of Jedburgh. They had one daughter, Susan. Together they worked in the family business, McIntosh’s General Store, until the business closed in 1965 and the family moved to Yorkton. Here, Josephine worked as head cook at the Anderson Lodge for 15 years. In retirement, she enjoyed looking after her large yard, cooking, baking, knitting & crocheting. Harry passed away on November 30, 1997. In 2002 Josephine moved to the Fairview Arms, until poor health forced a move to assisted living, firstly to Kamsack in 2015, then to the Yorkton & District Nursing Home in 2016, where she had since resided. Besides her husband Harry, Josephine was predeceased by her parents, John & Lena Popowich; sisters Adele Solomon & Cecile Steinmacher; brother Tony Popowich; brothers-in-law Alex Solomon, Edwin Steinmacher and Archie McIntosh; and by a nephew Rodney Popowich. She leaves to cherish her memory her daughter Susan and her husband Doug Rediger of Regina; grandsons Lee Rediger and Delaney Rediger; great grandchildren, Eric Fernell & Morgan Rediger, all of Regina; a sister-in-law Kathy Popowich of Calgary; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and other family members. We love you mom! You will be greatly missed! The funeral service was held on Thursday afternoon, November 8, 2018 from the Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre with Rev. Roland Legge officiating. Music played was Amazing Grace and In the Arms of an Angel. The interment took place in the Yorkton City Cemetery with Eugene Maleschuk, Bob Solomon, Cal Deforest, John Polegi, Tim Polegi and Dennis Somogyi serving as the casket bearers. Memorials were to the Cancer Society or to the Diabetes Association. Condolences can be left at baileysfuneralhome.com.

PLAN NUMBER 1-3674 ROOM FOR GROWING FAMILY The plans for this home include an unfinished basement, which could serve has extra storage space, more room for a growing family or a secondary suite for revenue. The covered entry leads into a foyer with a coat closet ahead on the right. Across from the closet is an L-shaped stairway to the unfinished basement, separated from the great room by a half wall. The great room, with sliding glass doors to a covered deck, includes a gas fireplace, making the room a magnet for family activities in the cooler months. The covered deck will be ideal for al fresco meals and year-round grilling. A large window in the open plan dining area looks out to the back garden. An optional buffet offers extra space for serving and storage. The kitchen is divided from the great room and dining area by a work island with double sinks and space for the dishwasher. This will allow the after-meal clean-up crew to watch TV while they work. They will also appreciate the walk-in

pantry and the L-shaped counter configuration, which will save steps. Off the kitchen is the laundry room, which includes a shelf for sorting and folding. A coat closet will provide space for gear, and the doorway to the double garage means the laundry room can double as a mud room. The master bedroom is reached through a square archway from the great room. Overlooking the back garden, it includes an ensuite as well as a spacious walkin closet. The ensuite boasts a soaker tub in its own bayed-out niche, as well as a shower stall. The double basins will ease the morning rushhour. The two secondary bedrooms, also reached through a square archway, share a three-piece bathroom. Bedroom No. 3 has a built-in desk and bedroom No. 4 features an extra-wide window sill. A linen closet is located near the entrance to the master bedroom. Exterior finishes include wood siding with painted trim and brick accents. The gable ends are clad in wooden shingles and feature decorative brackets. The painted wood pilasters that

flank the entrance have brick bases, echoing the brickwork on either side of the garage door. This home measures 40 feet wide and 65 feet, four inches deep. Ceilings are all nine feet high. Living space, not including the unfinished basement, totals 1,646 square feet. Plans for design 1-3674 are available for $795 (set of 5), $860 (set of 8) and $912 for a super set of 10.

Wonderful production adds to fine dice game Some games just impress from the time you glimpse the box on a shelf, through to the moment the game is set up on the table to play. That is the ‘Wow’ factor of Dice Throne from designer Gavan Brown of Roxley Games. This is a beautifully created game. The art work, from the box to the play mats, to the character cards, is all outstanding. As in any art, it might not excite everyone, but it is in my

mind clean, vibrant, and aesthetically pleasing. As the name implies, dice are a huge part of this game, and the dice here are customdesigned, with easy to read faces. The dice are another huge win for the game. While I am not as fanatical about game boxes as some in our group, kudos are due here for the box insert where there are molded slots for everything, making keeping the different

Funding aimed at opioid crisis in province The opioid crisis continues to devastate individuals, families and communities across the country. Without increased access to effective, evidence-based treatment options, people with substance use disorder will continue to be at risk for overdose. Recently, Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Health and Saskatchewan Health Minister Jim Reiter, signed a bilateral agreement under the Government of Canada’s Emergency Treatment Fund. “Opioid-related overdoses continue to claim the lives of thousands of Canadians, having a devastating impact across Canada,” said Taylor. “In addition, Saskatchewan has rising rates of problematic methamphetamine use. This bilateral agreement will facilitate and increase access to essential treatment services in the province to help people with problematic substance use. We must continue to work in a comprehensive and collaborative way to address substance use disorder and to help Canadians access treatment and supports.” “We believe that even one opioid related death is too many,” Reiter said. “Our government has been taking action on this issue by supporting harm reduction, opioid substitution therapy, and expanding take home naloxone programs across the province. We will continue to assess the location and type of services in our province to ensure they are comprehensive and minimize the risks associated with drug use. The Emergency Treatment Fund will allow us to build on the good work already happening in

Saskatchewan.” This agreement provides more than $5 million in funding from the Government of Canada to support initiatives that will: • Recruit and train more health care professionals qualified to provide opioid-substitution therapy (including nurse practitioners and physicians) and other nonprescribing professionals (such as counsellors, social workers and allied professionals); • Train health care providers to adjust treatment and care plans based on client needs and root causes of problematic substance use (for example, the impact of trauma on the lives of people with substance use disorders); • Increase access to treatment for people with opioid or crystal meth dependency by working with the Saskatchewan Health Authority and community-based organizations to expand the use of remote services (such as telehealth) where services are not locally available and support case managers to connect clients to the health and social services they need; and • Train providers in therapeutic approaches and evidence-based treatment options for patients who use crystal meth (for example, behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing and trauma informed practices). This matches $7.4 million the Province of Saskatchewan has already invested in expanding access to opioid substitution therapy. While preventing overdoses remains vital, helping people with problematic substance use to access treatment will ultimately help them live

THE MEEPLE GUILD (Yorkton) meeple.guild@gmail.com characters, the cards, dice, boards etc., well separated. But what about game play? Well this is a ‘battle royal’ with players each having a character with special abilities. The abilities are triggered by rolling the dice which are also unique to the character. At the point of rolling dice the game becomes very much

Yahtzee. As an example a small straight will trigger some power a character has, a large straight a different power. Personally I am not the biggest fan of dicedominated games, and that is what this one is. In the case of Dice Throne there are some interesting mechanics at play which help. For example, if you are going to attack in a multi-

player game you roll a dice which randomly picks who is attacked. It stops everyone beating up on the weakest player, which is good in terms of giving everyone a better chance. It is also frustrating as good strategy might well suggest attacking a different foe. The dice rolls already dictate what you can do, and that becomes even more directed if for example you are low in health points, you are pigeon-holed into rolling for health, (if your character has that ability). Add in the decision of who to attack being a dice roll, and your ingame choices are relatively scant. But the theme suggests randomness.

As the website, (www. roxley.com) notes; “for a thousand years, the Mad King has sat atop his high throne seeking a worthy challenger. Each year, the undefeated King hosts a tournament of champions offering heroes from all corners of the globe the opportunity to finally dethrone him.” If you can focus on the theme of an arena battle the game is light fun. A dice game that gets a nod from me, which in itself makes Dice Throne different from most of the genre. Thanks to fellow gamers Jeff Chasse, Trevor Lyons and Adam Daniels for their help in running through this game for review.
