By Devin Wilger Staff Writer This newspaper now has some new leadership. John Bauman has joined Yorkton This Week as publisher.

Bauman has been in the newspaper business for 16 years, starting with Sun Media in Clinton, On. He moved from there to Kincardine, On., to Haliburton, On. and finally to Goderich, On., where he worked for the past six years. In Haliburton, he met Gord Brewerton, the Vice Pr esi den t of S a s k a t c h e w a n Operations for Glacier Media, who recently suggested he consider mak-

Traffic Bylaw gets update

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yorkton Council gave unanimous approval to second and third readings on amendments to the City’s Traffic Bylaw.

The proposed amendments were introduced and given first reading at the regular meeting of Council Oct. 29.

“At that meeting, Council authorized Administration to give Public Notice. As such, Public Notice was given permitting the public to review the Bylaw and express their concerns or opinions with the Bylaw content by either providing a written submission or attending the Public Hearing which was held earlier in the meeting. As of the date of this report,

Maulers change coaches mid-season

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton RawTec Maulers have played 20 games in the Saskatchewan AAA Midget Hockey League and recorded only two wins.

So perhaps not surprisingly last week the Board of Directors of the Maulers announced it was time for some changes.

“At this time, we are relieving Kevin Rawlick of the General Manager and Head Coaching duties, and Jason Gordon of the Associate Coaching duties,” stated a release issued last Thursday.

Your Community Connection

It definitely wasn’t a quick decision... It took a long time. We wanted to make sure we made the right decision for the team.

— Mauler president Greg Donnelly “This is not an easy decision and is not one that we take lightly. Coach Rawlick and Coach Gordon have been extremely dedicated and pas-

sionate, giving so much of themselves for this organization. We would like to thank them for all they have done for the Maulers family and wish

them the very best going forward.

“Nonetheless, we believe the organization must move in a different direction. As we move ahead, we are pleased to announce that Assistant Coach Delane Lamb has accepted the role of Interim Head Coach.

Coach Lamb will establish his assistant coaching staff in the coming days.”

Club president Greg Donnelly said the decision to make the change did not come easily, or overnight.

“It definitely wasn’t a quick decision,” he told Yorkton This Week Friday. “It took a long time. We wanted to make sure we made the right decision for

the team.”

Donnelly said both Rawlick and Gordon are good hockey people, noting in particular “I don’t know a guy in hockey with more passion for the game than Kevin,” but the team just was not responding this season.

And, Donnelly said the players are not as bad as a two-win season might suggest.

“I think we have a great group of guys … a lot of hardworking guys out there,” he said, adding he went to a practice under Lamb’s guidance after the change. “… I thought the kids looked great.”

The coaching change does have an added dynamic in the sense Rawlick’s company is the team’s name sponsor.

“Those are two separ-

ate things altogether,” assured Donnelly. “Kevin (Rawlick) still loves the organization and supports the organization I believe.”

In the meantime, the

Board is assembling a working group that will include members of the Board and people from outside the organization to move forward on a search for a general man-

ager and a permanent head coach.

Donnelly said they do not have an established timeline to see new people in place, adding they have moved

to change the structure at the head of the team.

They will be hiring a separate general manager and coach, and have also created a board appointed position for

a director of player personnel.

“I think that a local community paper is such a large part of the community that I hope we can continue to be the paper the community wants and needs.”

Beyond joining Yorkton This Week,

Bauman also wants to become a part of the community overall, noting that in previous communities he had been a member of the Chamber of Commerce and hospital foundations in Goderich and Haliburton.

no written submissions were received,” explained Nicole Baptist, Assistant City Clerk with the City Monday.

Having received no feedback from the public, Administration wishes to move forward with the proposed amendments.

The Traffic Bylaw No.

18/2016 came into effect in February 2017, which involved numerous changes from the previous Traffic Bylaw of 2000, explained Baptist, at the Oct. 29 meeting.

So updates are on occasion needed to address small things, said Baptist.

“Administration has

completed a review of the Traffic Bylaw and identified some amendments to improve the clarity and address small clerical errors in the Bylaw. None of the proposed amendments look to change the intent of the Bylaw, merely to improve clarity,” she said then.

Money to offset taxes approved by Council

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yorkton Council moved ahead Monday with an amendment to its remuneration for members of Council policy.

In June of 2017, the Federal Budget received Royal Assent and it was announced that nationwide, municipal elected officials would lose the benefit of one-third of their remuneration as non-taxable effective Jan. 1, 2019, detailed a report circulated to the regular meeting of City Council Monday.

At the Oct. 29, meeting of Council a proposed amendment was set forth that would have the Mayor’s remuneration to 85 per cent of that of an MLA’s salary (up from 75 per cent).

The intended amendment was advertised to the public without official

response.

The change passed with Councillors Darcy Zaharia and Quinn Haider opposed, and Councillors Mitch Hippsley and Randy Golden absent.

The change will cost the City of Yorkton an additional $27,000 per year to operations.

“The elected officials are not receiving an increase in net pay, rather the Federal Government is receiving an increase in income tax. This implication applies to all 5,162 Canadian municipalities including towns, villages, rural municipalities, resort villages, etc.

There are 16 cities in Saskatchewan, and hypothetically, if those municipalities had the same Council profile as Yorkton, the Federal Government would realize an extra $432,000 in income taxes – just from Saskatchewan cities,” detailed the report Monday.

Canora connection to Grandpa Gus product line Nick Olynyk, was raised at Canora and is now president of Grandpa Gus based in Texas.

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer It’s a long way from Canora to Texas, but Nick Olynyk has made the move, albeit not directly.

Olynyk is president of Grandpa Gus, a company specializing in vermin control without the use of poisons.

“Our company actually started in Canada,” he explained. “When I was living in B.C. back in 2014 and 15, I would import all sorts of goods from China and export other Canadian brands from Canada, all to be sold online in the U.S. I started exporting some pest control products and found a hole in the market to create a more modern brand, and that brand was Grandpa Gus.” The move to Texas was born out of necessity, offered Olynyk.

“The U.S. made it possible to grow the business, much less government restrictions down here, and it’s easier for me to run the company when I’m living within the U.S.,” he said. “I fly a lot for meetings and trade shows down here and it’s tougher to do that across the border all the time.”

Texas was simply a practical location.

“I chose Texas because it’s in the MidWest and it doesn’t snow,” said Olynyk. “In the back of my mind I’ve always thought that we need to be close to our roots and our roots are small cities, small towns and farms.

“In many ways, Texans are closer to Saskatchewan people than Vancouver Island people are, and I like

that. Austin is known for being welcoming to entrepreneurs. It’s a tech hub, even though we’re not in tech. The state and city are very encouraging toward private enterprise.”

The company has been around for five years, but the Grandpa Gus brand has really been around for three.

“We create natural pest control products under the Grandpa Gus brand,” said Olynyk.

“Our biggest sellers are a pouched mouse repellent, liquid mouse repellent spray and machinery cab fresheners.

“We also have expanded to other pests like mosquitoes, tick and spiders. We have a real wide variety of customers.

“Farmers make up a huge portion of the customer base. The American farmers put the pouched mouse repellents in their combine cabs and semis at the end of the season to keep mice out over winter. Canadian farmers use the cab freshener line formulated just for Canada. The products smell like peppermint so in spring the cab is fresh and clean.”

While Olynyk is the company president he also handles the sales and marketing team as well.

“We have other people managing the supply chain and factory and financials that go with it,” he said. “They are much smarter than me so I leave it to them.

“We have about a dozen staff between the office and sales team.

Our factories are third party facilities. If you count them, the people working on the factory

floor and warehouse, there can be over 60 people a day working on Gus during the high season.”

The current career path is not exactly what Olynyk trained for.

“I actually started school as a fine arts major in creative writing,” he said. “Poetry is beautiful stuff but nobody pays for it, so I wrote a lot of sales copy and ads online for other people when I convocated. I realized quickly it would be smarter if I sold my own stuff instead of other people’s stuff.”

But there has been a learning curve to maneuver.

“Without a doubt, the biggest learning experience has been having a board of advisors who’ve been in business for decades,” said Olynyk.

“You need people smarter than you giving you advice. We wouldn’t be where we are now without having them on board.”

So far things have worked out well for Olynyk and Gus. “We just partnered with Tractor Supply Company in the USA, which is close to 2000 stores,” he said. “We’re in 4000 total stores right now.

“We’re also under review for some of the biggest retailers in the business, big chains.

“Occasionally, it’s quick and simple to get on the shelf, but often it takes months or even over a year of persistence and coordination and negotiation. I usually conduct presentations along with our sales reps, who are key to the process of getting on the shelf. They continue the

negotiations after that.”

The move into stores came after establishing an online presence.

“Back in 2016, when I started seeing consistent sales online I thought I would try moving into stores,” said Olynyk.

“First, I did a couple of day trips around Vancouver Island selling to hardware and feed stores. This led to me buying a beat up, old ‘98 Ford Windstar mini-van, loading it with products and driving around Western Canada until the van broke down at 2 a.m. one night on Circle Drive in Saskatoon.

“It wasn’t glamorous times, but every sale was very motivating. It kept me going as we got off the ground, and then I fixed the van and sold it.”

Peavey Mart was one of the very first customers back in 2016.

“Getting on their shelf involved a lot of persistence,” said Olynyk.

“I’d pick up the phone every day at 10 a.m. and call and ask for the lawn and garden buyer. After doing this for six weeks the buyer answered the call.

“That got the ball rolling for a test.

“Peavey Mart is very particular about quality and giving customers the best price. That is why they are the leader in Western Canada and why we partner with them. That includes the Yorkton store, which is state of the art.”

Things are more formalized now in terms of making store connections.

“Now that we’re established we have more proper routes to showing buyers our new products,” said Olynyk.

“I often know somebody who knows who to call and we simply set a formal meeting.

“For the biggest accounts, I’ll fly to the retailer’s or distributors’ corporate headquarters.

“For smaller accounts, our sales reps will have a much stronger relationship and they’ll do presentations.

“The presentations to a retailer are very much like Dragon’s Den except your sitting in an office and you’re pitching why you’re good for the shelf.

You tell why you’re good, they grill you and you try to strike a deal, but then the process after takes weeks or months to iron out the kinks and move it up the chain.”

As for the products, those come from others in terms of formulation and creation.

“The formulations for our products are all lab-tested, but we have a limited amount of ingredients that we can play with because of EPA regulations,” said Olynyk. “We took what we knew we were allowed to use and examined how we could improve on what was in the marketplace. It’s like building a better mouse repellent. The hardest part was learning the pages and pages of regulations dictated by the EPA. The testing and yearly registrations are very expensive, so it was a lot of money out of pocket before we even made a sale.”

But Olynyk leaves that to others, as he works on creating the image to sell the products.

“For me, the fun part is the branding,” he said. “That was very intentional. Grandpa Gus, the character, is a

mix of the different old timers I would see coming to town for coffee in Canora when I was a kid. I wanted to create a brand that could have a rural and trusting image, and could be fun to market, without being hokey.

“Being raised on a farm, I wanted to draw inspiration from real farmers.

“I went through a couple of artists until I found a professional who really nailed what we envisioned. Everybody trusts a Grandpa.

Grandpa knows what really works.”

Olynyk said his roots sell to a larger audience.

“Ironically, it’s that Canora farm Gido that really resonates with urban customers looking for natural solutions and who are most conscious of the ingredients,” he said. “We can get a morning order from a mom in a New York City apartment who wants a natural, safe solution for her family, and another order in the afternoon from a farmer in Illinois who just finished combining a field of soybeans.”

With his success in Texas, Olynyk said he still looks at Saskatchewan as home, and hopes to grow the business up here in the future.

“I really hope to bring some innovative products into Canada that Canadians can’t get right now,” he said. “People in Yorkton shouldn’t have to drive to Minot to get what is available on every corner down here.

“My heart is very much in Saskatchewan and tied to the farm. I love having a company with products that farmers use.”

Perspective RMs must keep pace with change

MURRAY MANDRYK

Editor: Calvin Daniels Production Manager: Debbie Barr

Murray Mandryk is a political columnist with the Leader Post

Politics When you think about it, some of the challenges facing Saskatchewan rural municipalities are similar to the challenges facing agriculture as a whole.

Farming has become a science, requiring significant attention paid to managing water resources, fertilizers and chemicals, machinery, fuel, crop selection and rotation and seemingly infinite list of smaller details that won’t necessarily guarantee crop production, anyway.

And after all that, no money is made until your cereal, pulse or oilseed crops are properly marketed.

While it may be what producers wanted, there can be no doubt that it’s added to the complexity of today’s modern producer.

However, one big difference between today’s farmers and today’s RM is how the size of their respective operations have and haven’t changed.

For farmers, it’s all about learning how to manage more acres to allow their operations to remain viable.

But for reeves and rural municipal councillors, the size of RMs hasn’t changed because few RMs have gotten bigger through amalgamations in their 100-plus years of existence.

One might assume that would make the job of managing RMs less complicated.

Fewer farmers in each RM because of larger farms should mean less conflict between farmers over things like whose grid road gets gravelled or ploughed first.

But while some may still subscribe to the old cliché of RM administration being all about gravel and gopher poison, it’s gotten considerably more complicated than that.

Today’s RM reeves and councillors must deal with complicated environmental and drainage laws and regulations.

Moreover, larger scale farming operations are often the exact ones being blamed — fairly or unfairly — as the source of such newfound environmental and drainage problems. Keeping up with legislation and governance changes and arbitrating disputes is an increasingly complicated problem for today’s reeves and councillors.

But it’s getting even more complex then that.

For example, recent stories about the collapsed bridge in RM of Clayton or ammonia levels in the water in the hamlet of Lone Rock and the RM of Wilton speak to the added complexity And it’s now always physically identifiable problems in play.

There have been an increasing number of cases of personnel related issues impacting rural governance involving today’s expected standards of conduct. In other words, bullying and harassment are very real things in today’s workplaces, as a few local RM councillors are now discovering.

Even if these incidents are isolated, they represent the added complexities facing today’s local politicians.

But this may be just the beginning when it comes to the changing face of some rural municipalities.

Consider what’s going in RM of McKillop that has been under supervision since September after Government Relations Minister Warren Kaeding appointed in September a supervisor to oversee massive administrative and democratic issues in the RM. The reason for the need for supervision has to do with significant financial problems, culminating with a proposed 130-per-cent tax increase to deal with the problems.

There are clearly questionable spending decisions now under examination, but the issue boils down to the growth in cottage property, the need to properly service these property owners and the unwillingness of existing RM council to address the specific concerns of these newer ratepayers.

Cottage owners on Last Mountain Lake are mostly located in McKillop’s Division 4. The ratepayers say 54 per cent of the eligible voters are in Division 4, compared with four, four, six, 14 and 18 per cent of the voters in the other divisions, respectively.

Yet even after a 73-per-cent resolution vote in favour of changing the boundaries existing McKillop council chose to pass a resolution to hold public meetings on the matter.

Among the many new realities for municipalities is a rather old one. Every vote should count — especially in today’s rural municipalities where things are changing and challenges are mounting.

Timing for budget changes W

e are now on the eve of December, and the last City Council meeting of November passed Monday, and there is still not a first look at the 2019 budget.

That is not particularly unusual, or though it was not so many years ago Council pushed to have its budget completed by the end of December.

There were good reasons for those efforts, in particular the ability to send capital projects to tender early with a reasonable expectation of better deals because companies are securing work early.

But in recent years the budget decision by Council has slipped back into the new year.

There are again reasons for that, largely being a matter of knowing the numbers before Council finally passes the budget.

The numbers are much more elusive these days as just what the province will do is very much a mystery until their budget is declared and that is not usually revealed until the second quarter.

In 2017 we saw the impact first hand.

It was at the Feb. 2017 Council tabled the adoption of the 2017 operating and capital budgets until after the 2017 Provincial Budget was released in order for potential further grant funding decreases to be considered.

It proved a wise decision as on March 22, 2017 the 2017 Provincial Budget was released and it was determined that the City of Yorkton was going to realize a loss in revenue of close to $2.3 million. On March 31, 2017 the Government did cap the loss of the payments in lieu to the City of Yorkton at 30 per cent of its municipal revenue sharing amount. This added about $734,000 back into the City of Yorkton budget.

This year the budgets passed in February, although Council was aware there was a level of uncertainty based on what the province might do in its budget.

Those provincial numbers may well be under new pressures as the world price for crude oil has recently plunged. That is significant given the importance of oil in terms of provincial revenues in Saskatchewan.

There are indications the oil price dip could herald a global economic slowdown, and given the Saskatchewan government’s past difficulties hitting budget targets, that would put significant pressure on their plans to return to balanced budgets in 2019-20.

If the oil situation forces funding cuts municipalities may well be on the list to receive less and that impacts municipal budgets.

Letters to the Editor Unhappy with hospital parking fee To the Editor:

I believe there should be no charge involved for parking at a hospital as you are there because you are ill or visiting someone who is. To my mind we are being penalized for being sick.

I am a 69 year old woman, who is an out patient receiving ongoing chemo therapy. I also had the misfortune of falling in March and breaking my hip, which makes walking any great distance quite painful.

A few weeks ago, while in for my treatment, I parked in the handicapped space across

from the emergency admitting doors. I hung my sign on the mirror, put money in the meter and went up to third floor for my chemo, which usually takes about two hours.

When I arrived back at my car, there, tucked neatly under my wiper, was a parking ticket for $10, and I found myself instantly angry.

Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t consider myself any better than the next person, but when you’re connected to a toxic cocktail of chemo drugs, they sure don’t want you running

out of the hospital to plug money into a parking meter.

I’d like to know if cities are that hard up, that they need that extra money, and for what is this money used? If you tell me it’s for maintaining the parking lot, I’m going to fall off my chair laughing. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the reason why they started charging for parking, so enlighten me.

Enough said, just know I’ve never had a parking ticket in my life and to get one in a “parking lot” at a hospital just about takes the cake.

I also know that once implemented, it becomes written in stone and can never be changed. But it sure makes me happy to complain about it.

Stand up Saskatchewan if you think there should be NO charge for hospital parking.

Our MLA is Mr. Warren

Kaeding, give him a call, I’m going to. Maybe the squeaky wheel will get some oil!

Yorkton Chamber election results Juanita Polegi, Executive Director of the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce has announced the results of the recent election for 8 positions on the Chamber’s Board of Directors.

Returning to the Board are Mike Popowich and Donna Brothwell.

New to the Board are Alicia Simoneau, Cam Mehling, Geoffrey Propp, Kimberly Hamilton, Kristen Arnold and Marty Sveinbjornson.

Each Director will serve a two year term.

Fourteen people filed their nomination papers and Polegi was pleased with the qual-

ity of all the candidates.

“Every person who let their name stand would have brought new ideas and enthusiasm for the Chamber to the Table”, she said. “We encourage the remaining candidates to consider running in future Chamber elections or to sit on one of the Board’s committees

as the Chamber could benefit greatly from their experience and skills.”

An election is held every November to fill half the Board positions.

In order to run for a position on the Board, candidates must be members of the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce or represent businesses

which hold membership in the Chamber. The new members of the Board will take their seat at the Chamber Board table in January at which time the Executive is then elected by the Directors.

Directors serving the second year of their term include Ajay

Tadi, Bob Knox, Carol Yaholnitsky, Dustin Brears, Joseph Ortynsky, Mike Stackhouse, Sarah Kowalchuk and Sunil Shah.

The Yorkton Chamber of Commerce is “the voice of business in Yorkton” and represents over 470 members. 2018 marks the Chamber’s 120th year.

Seizure of criminal property amendment act introduced The Government of Saskatchewan is taking steps to strengthen the civil forfeiture program by expanding the serious forms of criminal activity that are covered by the Seizure of Criminal Property Act. “We are committed to ensuring property is taken out of the hands of criminals,” Corrections and Policing Minister Christine Tell said. “These changes will broaden when that can be done and in turn, provide support to victims of crime and other community safety initiatives.”

Currently, the Act sets out a number of instances where it is presumed that property is an instrument of unlawful activity, and thus subject to forfeiture. In those instances, an onus is placed on the defendant to demonstrate that the property should not be subject to forfeiture.

The proposed amendments would ensure the following are also covered under the legislation: • Property that was previously subject to a community safety order under The Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods Act; • Vehicle owners with a history of impaired driving suspensions; • Gang or terrorist activity involving prohibited and restricted firearms; and • Matters involving sexual offences, including sexual offences with child victims.

These changes align with approaches that are being explored and implemented in other jurisdictions. This will help ensure that the most harmful and serious forms of criminal activity are properly covered under the civil forfeiture program.

“We are very happy to contribute to our local healthcare and contribute to the communities around us,” said George Hofer, Manager of the Hutterian Brethren Colony of Crystal Lake. “We live in this area and have this philosophy that says if we possibly could we should contribute to our area and try to make it a better place.”

“This is a very generous donation and it comes at a great time,” said Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation. “We are hoping to raise the money for this microscope by the end of this year, and we are getting closer. Lab equipment is very important for healthcare; lab tests will

usually provide the first indications if something is wrong, or if a person has risk factors that should be looked into.”

“Raising the money to buy this equipment by the end of year is important,” continued Mr. Fisher. I really hope others will notice this donation and think about making their own donation.”

“The Hutterian Brethren Church of Crystal Lake has made a number of donations to help our local healthcare since moving into this region. We are very grateful for the continuing support they provide for our work and for their generosity,” said Ross Fisher.

Talking about the benefits of ecomuseums

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer

more, and improve the quality of life of a community through heritage.

What’s an ecomuseum? Glenn Sutter, curator of human ecology at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum has been explaining the idea of an ecomuseum to groups around the province, in the hopes of building the idea in Saskatchewan.

He was in Yorkton to talk to the Yorkton chapter of the Saskatchewan Geneological Society about establishing an ecomuseum in the area.

In short, an ecomuseum is a museum without walls.

“It’s a really a set of committees that get set up by people and organizations that are interested in local heritage, whether that’s built heritage, living heritage or local stories,” explained Sutter.

The goal of establishing an ecomuseum is to help preserve local heritage, but also get residents to engage with it

Safeguarding local heritage is traditional museum territory, but what does eco mean in this context? Sutter explains that it’s about the place where the museum is established.

“The eco side is the ecology of the people who live there. What is the local economy like?

What is the local environment like? What is affecting that community? How can the residents respond in ways that honour the heritage, build on the heritage, and make the community sustainable over time?”

Examples of ecomuseums could include supporting artists in residence programs, getting school groups involved or advocacy for issues surrounding a region.

There are currently 4-5 active ecomuseums in the province, but this is a new development. Five

years ago, there were none. Sutter said that part of the reason for the growth in ecomuseums is that many organizations, including the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, but also including other heritage groups in the province, are behind the idea.

“They see it as a way to make heritage relevant for a community.”

This is fresh in Saskatchewan, but this isn’t a new concept, and Sutter points to other continents as the source of the ecomuseum idea.

“It is new here, but not elsewhere, there are ecomuseums in Europe that have been operating for 30 years.”

This is something that small groups can easily establish in a community, and that’s part of the reason why the programs are becoming popular with smaller groups. It’s not a funding program, but Sutter describes it as a grassroots movement in the province. It doesn’t

“We’re moving away

from a dry, dusty museum image and really keeping heritage alive in a community.”

Financial Planning is for everyone during Financial Planning Week and year-round What is a Certified Financial Planner® professional?

A Certified Financial Planner® professional – recognizable by the CFP® marks after a planner’s name – has achieved and maintains internationally recognized standards of knowledge, skills, abilities and ethics. The CFP designation provides assurance to Canadians that the design of their financial future rests with an appropriately qualified professional who will put clients’ interests ahead of their own.

The CFP designation is recognized internationally for excellence in financial

planning. There are approximately 17,000 Certified Financial Planner professionals across Canada, part of an international network of more than 170,000 CFP professionals in 26 territories around the world.

Why is the designation of your financial planner so important?

In most Canadian provinces, there is no legislated standard in place for those who offer financial planning services. With the exception of Quebec, people who call themselves financial planners are not required to obtain any credentials whatsoever.

CFP professionals demon-

strate their financial planning competence through extensive education, a rigorous standardized national examination process, comprehensive continuing education requirements and accountability to FPSC for a code of ethics, practice standards, and the rules and regulations of their professional body.

Look for the CFP marks to ensure you are receiving the standard in financial planning. Don’t settle for less.

If you need a qualified professional to help you take charge of your finances, FPSC’s Find Your Planner tool can put you in touch with someone in your area.

Representing 8 Different Farm Insurance Companies

Large farms part of history Recently I visited with Bruce Frederickson of Theodore to talk about a project of his to recreate the grand home of Richard Seeman, one of the earliest settlers in the district.

Seeman was a major influence in the region.

It was 1893 and the Manitoba and North Western Railway was is desperate need of cash when Seeman arrived in the scene with a ready supply of cash which allowed him to buy title to 80,000 acres (125 sections) of railway land for $80,000. That was a huge investment for the time period. The proceeds from the land sale enabled the railway to continue operations for several years, and

Seeman acquired land along the M&NWR line between Winnipeg and Yorkton. He would resell most of the land but on a portion near what would become Theodore he started a sizeable farm of his own.

“The first report of Seeman’s crop-growing successes occurred near the end of the first year the Seeman farm was in operation and stated that, from two relatively small stacks of sheaves, the Seeman farm had realized 1200 bushels of grain. Another report from the following year stated that “Mr. Seeman expects a total yield of wheat, oats and barley of forty thousand bushels.”

Seeman’s expectations were fulfilled. Oats

Agriculture THIS WEEK

Calvin Daniels yielded 106 bushels per acre that year. Because there was insufficient granary space on the farm to accommodate the threshed grain, the sheaves were left in a stack and threshed as needed during the winter,” wrote Neil Gregory, Saskatchewan History magazine.

As Frederickson recounted some of the history of the Seeman

farm, the background that inspired him to recreate the scale model of the family home, it made me think about the scale of some of the earliest Prairie farmers.

We tend to have a few of the Prairies being divvied-up to immigrants in near 160-acre homestead parcels. That was certainly how my own grandparents started their lives in Canada

after immigrating from England at what is now the Czech Republic depending on which root of my family tree you follow.

But there were also what can only be described as megafarms, at least in relation to the era.

Perhaps the most famous is the Bell farm at Indian Head, marked today by the reconstructed round barn and the historic site it is part of.

“Construction of the Bell Farm started in 1882, under the direction of A. J. Osment.

Within a year over 100 buildings were constructed on this corporate farm, which included about 53,000 acres (or

332 quarter sections),” notes www. bellbarn.ca While a couple of decades later, the Motherwell homestead, itself a national historic site is another peek into the scale of farming in this region’s earliest days.

We tend to think of large scale farming as a relatively new trend, but as in most things it is a matter of perspective, and from the earliest days of the Prairies some have sought to grow their operations to scales beyond the average. It just seems a part of our heritage that has been lost to time.

Agriculture officials meet in Mexico

By Jayme Gramlich, Trade Policy Analyst, Trade and Value Added Branch, Regina The Tri-National Accord is an annual meeting of officials from Canada, Mexico and the United States.

The 27th annual meeting of the Tri-National Agricultural Accord took place in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico from October 16 to 18, 2018. State and provincial delegates from three Canadian provinces, 11 Mexican states and 18 U.S. states gathered to improve collaboration in agriculture in North America. The first Tri-National Accord took place in Puerto Vallarta in 1992 and has become an annual meeting for invited delegates from the three countries. James Kettel, Executive Director of the Trade and Value

Added Branch at the Ministry of Agriculture, participated on behalf of Saskatchewan.

The Accord is an annual meeting of Ministers, Commissioners, Secretaries and Directors of agriculture, and senior officials from the Canadian provinces, U.S. and Mexican states.

These meetings are one of the few opportunities where senior officials from provinces and states across North America can meet, not only with their counterparts, but with senior federal officials from all three countries to discuss agriculture and trade policy issues. The 2018 Accord was an excellent opportunity for agricultural advocacy.

The Tri-lateral Harmonization working group discussed collaboration to improve capacity for pest and disease surveillance, prevention and rapid response. New

ensure transparency and collaboration when implementing new food safety standards. The group noted that such collaboration will help ensure the benefits of the USMCA are truly realized.

The 27th annual meeting of the Tri-National Agricultural Accord took place in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico agricultural technologies and food safety were also discussed. This working group issued a joint statement commending federal negotiators on the conclusion of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) negotiations.

They agreed to work together throughout the process towards approval and successful implementa-

tion.

During the meetings, the Tri-lateral Rural Development working group discussed agricultural workforce development and the importance of rural infrastructure and connectivity.

The Canada-U.S. Bilateral Working Group emphasized the need to implement the USMCA

provisions relating to transparency, and information sharing for agriculture biotechnology, including collaboration on emerging technologies and low level presence. This working group also highlighted the importance of science, risk-based food safety standards and regulations, and the need to

The Canada-Mexico Working Group emphasized the importance of international trade to job creation, and the continued growth of their economies and expressed support for the USMCA to increase trade and strengthen economic linkages.

The full communiqué and joint statements from each of the five meetings can be found online. In recognition of the importance of the Accord, Canada extended invitations for delegates from both the U.S. and Mexico for the 28th meeting of the TriNational Accord in 2019.

Winter weight season postponed Each year, the amount of weight that trucks can haul increases during the winter months. The winter weight period typically begins November 16 however, the 2018 start date is being delayed due to weather and road structure conditions.

Saskatchewan’s winters help to freeze and strengthen roads. As a result, more weight can be transported on provincial highways creating improved efficiency for trucking goods and exporting Saskatchewan products.

Currently, roads are not fully frozen and additional weights could damage pavement and the

road structures beneath.

Road structures will continue to be monitored throughout the province and winter weights will be implemented as soon as sufficient freezing exists.

Truckers are encouraged to learn the latest road restriction orders and related information online at www.saskatchewan.ca/truckingweights or by calling the Highway Hotline in Regina and area at 306-787-7623; Saskatoon and area at 306-933-8333; across Canada at 1-888-3357623; and on the SaskTel Cellular Network at *ROAD. In addition, tech-

nical and regulatory information is available from the Saskatchewan Highway Patrol Inquiry Line at 1-866-933-5290.

Truck drivers outside of Saskatchewan can call the same line at 306-9335290. The line operates weekdays, except statuary holidays, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The Government of Saskatchewan has invested $8.4 billion in transportation infrastructure since 2008.

Sacred Heart UROCK group is revived

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Before Sacred Heart High School teacher Jeanne Fetsch retires at the end of the school year, she wants to help her students make an impact. That’s why she decided to revive the school’s UROCK group, which is dedicated to doing many different things in the school and the community to make an impact in people’s lives.

The group’s name stands for “You reaching

out to create kindness,” and the goal of the group is to do a wide range of projects to help people in different ways. The group performs at nursing home, puts together Christmas hampers, hangs positive posters through the school, and does a wide variety of things to help people.

“Anything that fits in to helping and service, we are going to see if we can do it.”

While she’s resurrecting the club, it’s really a student-driven effort.

She said that many of the

ideas for activities are coming from the students in the group, and the ideas are coming fast from the students.

“There are 35-40 kids who are so excited to do things. One kid said to me “can we go Christmas caroling to raise money?”

They are coming up with so many ideas to do things.”

The past month has been busy with the group brainstorming things they can do to help people in and around town.

“They’re excited and I’m excited.”

Yorkton Elks Donate $5,000 to Upgrade Lab Equipment A number of members of The Yorkton Elks stopped into The Health Foundation office to present a cheque for $5,000 to Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation.

The donation is for the new lab equipment The Health Foundation is raising funds for.

Presenting the Cheque were Dan Fisher, Marilyn Leniuk and Lawrence Thompson.

“The Elks have supported the work of The Health Foundation most years,” said Lawrence Thompson. “We think the work the foundation does to improve our local healthcare is important to the community, and it really compliments the work we do as Elks. We raise money to invest it back into the community to make Yorkton a better

We are a service club, and we raise money to support good organizations and projects that make our area a better place to live. The Yorkton Elks have supported many projects in the community and will continue to do so, continued

Mr. Thompson.

“The Yorkton Elks have been very strong supporters of our work for many years. We hope other organizations and businesses will see what the Elks have done and make their own donation,” said Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation.

Act focused on regional policing introduced The Government of Saskatchewan continues to implement measures that will help address rural crime in the province. The Police (Regional Policing) Amendment Act represents an ongoing commitment to enhance rural policing in the province.

In particular, this Bill will update The Police Act, 1990 to allow rural municipalities, and other municipalities with populations under 500, to join regional police services.

“The safety of Saskatchewan communities and families is a priority for our government,” Corrections and Policing Minister Christine Tell said.

“These changes will help provide muni-

cipalities with an additional option to address the issues of rural crime.”

Although the Act currently allows for the establishment of regional police services, rural municipalities are not permitted to take part in regional policing arrangements, except in limited circumstances. Adding rural municipalities to the regional policing provisions will provide an opportunity to explore new policing models in the province that focus specifically on the safety of rural citizens.

Pursuing regional policing in Saskatchewan was a recommendation made by the Caucus Committee on Rural Crime.

ART • ENTERTAINMENT • COMMUNITY

YRHS music teacher featured in Future 40 It wasn’t very long ago that the Yorkton Regional High School was struggling to fill its choir program. Even if that was a mere two years ago, there has been a major change in the halls of the school, and the choir is again strong, with around 70 students taking part in the program. Kelsey Kuz, the choir director at YRHS, gets some credit for the revival of the program, and her work has been highlighted by CBC’s Future 40 list, highlighting 40 people in Saskatchewan under the age of 40.

Describing it as very humbling, she’s grateful the recognition by CBC, and she was excited to have recognition for what is going on with music in Yorkton.

Kuz, however, doesn’t want to take all of the credit for the revival of the choir program at YRHS, because she

believes it’s a team effort between her, the school, and the community.

“I feel so odd, talking about it and talking about me, because I think a lot of the success of the program comes down to the community and comes down to my administration at the school and things like that,” said Kuz. “I could be the best teacher in the whole entire world, and it wouldn’t mean anything if I didn’t have support from my principal, my school, my community.”

With music programs, Kuz knows that it starts before the kids get to her at YRHS, and she’s grateful for the entire school division.

“I’m very fortunate that my band programs are very healthy too. I’ve got two very incredible elementary directors who feed me these amazing kids.”

The benefit of choir is that it’s something everyone can do, as everyone

Kelsey Kuz performs Friday in Yorkton. munity that we have in the choir room.”

Kuz is inspired by the history of music at YRHS, and how it has been a major part of the school’s history for years.

“I remember my first day, walking down the hallway and seeing pictures of the choir when it was quite large, with 100 kids in it. So it’s very exciting, I think having

comes with their instrument already. The low barrier of entry plus a positive atmosphere in the program are two things Kuz believes are big factors in the revival of the program.

“I’m finding that kids will join even half-way through the year. Or they’ve never sang before but they’ll try it out because it’s a family com-

music anywhere, especially in a school, is important and it’s an exciting thing to see. I’m just jazzed about it.”

Music also gives kids opportunities beyond school, including in competitions or opportunities to play with other groups. The senior band students will travel to the University of Regina to play alongside the UofR wind ensemble at their annual Christmas concert.

The music department is a natural fit for Kuz, as she describes music as a passion.

“Singing is a passion of mine and music in general is a passion. It’s very easy for me to get involved in this kind of stuff because it’s something I very much enjoy doing.”

That passion is not limited to within school hours, as Kuz also performs with the Yorkton Community Choir and the Yorkton Community

Concert Band and Big Band Jazz Band. When she was new to town, moving from Regina, Kuz said that the community groups were a way to become a bigger part of the local music community.

“That was a way that I was able to do music myself outside of school...

[Band director] Larry Pearen was extremely helpful in my transition here to Yorkton, and gave me lots of mentorship and advice.”

The list comes at the perfect time to get a first hand look at what Kuz and the music program at YRHS is doing. The winter concert is on Dec. 6 at the Anne Portnuff Theatre, with two bands and choir performing.

The school also has a musical coming up with The Addams Family playing from Nov. 29 to Dec.1, and Kuz encourages everyone in the community to come out and enjoy the musical comedy.

AGM will mark end of gardener’s year The next meeting of the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society is our “members and invited guests only” AGM. 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 new with the group!

An amazing gardener and dear friend of ours, Glen Tymiak, recently sent us pictures of their Christmas cactus, bright and full of glorious blooms! Christmas cactus has become a very popular plant for the holiday season, and I have seen them out already in the stores. So I thought it would be a good idea to get some Christmas cactus advice from Glen!

I asked Glen about growing basics for the Christmas cactus. “Soil in the pots should be light and rich with a good drainage. Provide plenty of filtered bright light and check weekly for water. Let the soil dry out before watering. Do not over water. During blooming season do not fertilize. Blooms will last longer if the plant is kept in a cooler location and cooler for the night.”

They are beautiful while they’re blooming, but then what? Glen’s suggestion is this: “After blooming, remove old blossoms and cut back on the watering. You can trim the plant by one third. You can propagate the cuttings by cutting at the joint, and put into soil at least one segment.”

That led to my next question: what if we want to start a new plant?

“Start plants in a small pot and repot every 3-4 years into a slightly larger pot. Plants should be root bound to bloom well.

Force them to bloom by giving them 12-14 hours of darkness every day and cooler temperatures, starting in September or October. Do this for 3-4 weeks before the time you want buds to appear. Use a light mixture of plant fertilizer,

DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

Gardener’s Notebook high in potassium, an orchid fertilizer of 20 10 20 or Epsom salt every 2-3 weeks until October.”

Glen recommended.

And here’s a little cactus factoid! Did you know that there is more than one type of “Christmas cactus”?

Glen clarified this for me. “Types of cacti…..

Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter (spring) Cacti.

Thanksgiving Cacti have pointy leaves and bloom in November to December. The Christmas cacti (Zygocactus) has rounded leaves and blooms in December and January. The Easter or Spring Cacti belongs to a different group of cacti.

The leaves are more scalloped and bloom in the spring.”

Here’s one amazing bit of trivia that makes Glen and Lena’s Christmas cactus part of their family! I asked Glen how long they can live, and this is what he said: “They can live

for many years… ours is over 70 years old, in the same pot and soil, never repotted and still does well.” Glen said that one of their cactus plants was planted by Lena’s Mom, and with a little fertilizer boost, it still blooms for Christmas! Isn’t that amazing and wonderful!

In case you were wondering, when spring comes, you can take your Christmas cactus outside.

Glen suggested this: “It is good to keep the plants outdoors for the summer in a shady location.

We keep ours under the apple tree thus getting plenty of shade, summer heat rainfall and later the cooler evenings.”

So there we have it: we can enjoy our Christmas cactus not only over the holiday season but, with proper care, for years to come! Glen, thank you so much for your help and advice!

Have a great week!

Packin’ up the parsonage The parsonage home my daughter and family lived in for nearly a dozen years sits empty, awaiting new residents.

During their long process of sorting and packing, I thought often about leaving our final parsonage, a decade ago. At the time, I wrote: Hold your blessings loosely, I’ve learned.

Letting them go doesn’t hurt so much if your fingers don’t have to be pried away.

Today I’m releasing a house, surprised to discover I’d held it more tightly than I thought. I’ll miss so much about the place the Preacher and I have called home for almost seventeen years.

That sticky cupboard door that brays like a donkey. The way the yard wakes up in spring – squirrels garlanding the trees, their furry souls spinny under the feeble sun. Sparrows wheeling and dealing real estate

with the swallows. Moses the cat, birdwatching at the window.

No more pink sunrises framed by my kitchen window. No more of these neighbours’ cheery hello’s following winter’s long silence. No maple limbs dancing outside my office window, or glistening rivulets of melting snow in my pocket gardens – our oldest grandbean’s favorite playplace…

“Isn’t the snow pretty, Benjamin?” his mother asks at first snowfall, evoking a sorrowful, “No Mama, snow not purty.

Dirt purty.”

Every room, every corner. Now that I’ve threatened to let it go, this old parsonage is nudging me to remember what it’s meant to me. As I pack, it’s unpacking. Serving up its warmest memories, pouring them over my heart like warmed honey.

Sticky, hard to let go.

table – too long for the new place – is lavishly set with those memories.

Sunbeams splashing over schoolbooks, drawing halos above two blonde heads as home-school began each morning.

Women friends and I, laughing until we cried over something someone said during Bible study.

My elderly parents, their white heads bowed in prayer. African children who asked, when I served spaghetti, why I served them white worms. A tiny grandbean on a blanket in the middle of the table – a centerpiece from God’s hand.

And one large man, much loved, saying grace over holiday turkeys, pizza, roast potatoes, even my burnt offerings.

Too many children in and out – our two especially. Too many nights of wakeful waiting for them to come home. Too many friends, too many cups of tea, too many long company dinners. Too many singsongs around the old piano. Too many of all those things to count.

This house speaks softly these days, whispering memories, resisting every box I tape and label. I hear the old dog’s toenails tapping in the hall

– but Mindy’s been gone a year now. Hamsters skittering around in balls. Skysweeper’s trills – I found that injured Bohemian waxwing on the alley behind this house, where I’ve walked and prayed away my cares and pounds for almost two decades.

I cry at night, sometimes. Then I remember.

Every time we’ve moved, I’ve gone through this.

Survived it. Every time.

God, remind me

again that you are our only permanent dwelling place. That we’re just pilgrims, passin’ through.

And that delightful newness waits up ahead.

Until then Lord, hold me as I let go.

If you’re letting go of anything dear – a home, a relationship, a dream, a life – trust God. He’ll be your immoveable rock, your heart’s home, your maker of all things new, and above all, your compassionate Comforter.

Time to depose these Christmas monarchs

It’s not yet December, but Netflix is rolling out the Christmas movies.

Not content after punishing audiences with The Christmas Prince in 2017, they have gone all in on Christmas romance. Of course, when you live with someone who enjoys a bad Christmas movie it’s difficult to avoid watching them, so I stand among the reluctant partners who have dejectedly poked at their phone while someone watched some lady decide between a rich doofus and a nice young boy with artistic ambitions.

The fact that these movies are terrible isn’t really the issue here, because of course they are. There is a long tradition of terrible Christmas films stretching back to the beginning of the medium. Now they’re on Netflix, while before they were on cable channels, often branded as a “Hallmark Original Movie.” All of them have the same plots, the same look, the same cast of former soap opera actors and people you otherwise think you should recognize. They are where acting careers go to die.

No, my issue is Netflix specific, a new wrinkle in their house style that has made me surprisingly angry. These movies are now advertising each other, in an endless cycle of terrible Christmasrelated garbage.

The first instance was in The Holiday Calendar, a movie about a magical advent calendar that can tell the future, and somehow use that ability to make a woman decide between a world-travelling photographer and a doctor who dropped a tree on her. At one point, the characters take a break in the insanity to sit down and watch a movie. That movie? A Netflix Christmas film from 2017. “If you like this watch, this other terrible thing we did,” said Netflix.

While I would like to emphasize that I loudly protested sticking with the streaming service holiday disaster zone, we later watched The Princess Switch, a take on The Prince and the Pauper, where two Vanessa Hudgens took a break from wondering how a once promising career lead to this to play a sassy Chicago baker (if

DEVIN WILGER

Thinking I do with words... you forget she lives in Chicago she wears a hat that says Chicago) and a duchess from a made up country. While there are many dramatic failings in the film – it has a perverse obsession with setting up a crisis and then immediately waving it away – I’ll instead bring up its Netflix moment.

Again, characters sit down to watch a movie.

They decide to watch “The Christmas Prince,” a Netflix original from 2017 which is also absolutely garbage. It is declared to be one character’s favorite, and then there’s a scene where she was so moved by the film that she cries.

Netflix is using its bad Christmas films to advertise its other bad Christmas films. It wants to make it a big loop, you see a Christmas movie

and you, the kind of person who watches Christmas movies, will see other Christmas movies and watch those. Soon you will watch more Christmas movies.

Eventually you have spent your entire Christmas season in a Netflix-induced coma, where all you can see are princes, handsome artists and rich men who are secretly kind of terrible.

The plots all run together, to the point where you don’t remember when one character changed hair color and why everyone is watching this other holiday movie, or where this adorable child came from and who she belongs to.

There is only one way to stop it, you can’t watch any of them. Spend the holiday season on a Netflix sabbatical. If you get the temptation to sit down and watch a bad movie about a Christmas prince or princess, do something else that will take up some time. Bake some cookies, make a wreath, read a book about people overthrowing monarchies. Anything to keep your eyes away from Netflix.

We must stop the scourge of bad Christmas

movies at their source, and we are the source, the people who keep watching them even though we know better.

Now is not the time for movies, now is the time for rebellion. We must overthrow the Christmas prince.

Maulers still finding wins hard to come by

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The Yorkton Rawtec Maulers have hit the reset button, but the reboot wasn’t finished before their game against the Saskatoon Contacts over the weekend. The team lost to the visiting Saskatoon squad 6-1 on Nov. 17.

That score looks bad, admits new head coach Dalane Lamb, but the team played better than it would suggest.

“They ended up scoring three late goals in the third period, in the last four minutes, but for the most part our guys responded very well for the first game after all of the changes.”

The Contacts kicked off the scoring in the first, with Matthew Hodson scoring a power play goal, assisted by Evan Bortis. The final second of the second saw Hodson establish himself as a thorn in the side of the Maulers, with a second power play goal, this time assisted by Josh Paulhus and Jacob Hoffrogge.

It was the Maulers who kicked off the scoring in the third, with Massen Ziola getting a power play goal of his own, with Rylan Donald getting the assist.

The Contacts responded with a goal from Mark Walchuk, assisted by Davin Griffin and Ty Albrecht.

Then came those final five minutes.

The Maulers dropped a home ice game to the Saskatoon Contacts on the weekend, They began with Hodson finding the net again with his third power play goal of the night, assisted by Jaeden Mercier. Then came Riley Girod, with help from Josh Paulhus and Adam McNutt, and finally the scoring, and the game, was finished off by Davin Griffin, with assists from Jaeden Mercier and Michael Flaman.

While those final minutes were a low point, he believes the team responded well and had

great morale through the contest.

“Everybody was staying positive and the boys came out ready and prepared. I saw a lot of little positives that definitely came through.”

The game came at the end of big changes for the Maulers, the main one being Lamb moving to head coach.

“I was only able to get two practices in before the first game, but I was really happy with a lot of the positives that came

out of Saturday’s game.”

Before meeting the Swift Current Legionnaires twice this weekend, the team is going to focus on cleaning up their 200ft. game, focusing on things Lamb believes are little things in the game that turn out to be huge things in the be broad spectrum.

“I’m a bit of a perfectionist and very detail oriented, so I’ll be spending a lot of time on the little things. When I say the little things, they turn

Staff Photo by Calvin Daniels

out to be major things throughout a game, or even a season on a weekend series.”

The upcoming games will mean the team can’t take a break, said Lamb.

“They work hard for 60 minutes, if we think we are going to take a shift off, we definitely have to rethink our mindset before we get out on the ice, because they’re going to come out on every shift harder than the last one.”

The season so far has been a tough one for the Maulers, with only two

wins over 21 games, but Lamb believes that with the changes being made, it’s going to be an entirely different season.

“It’s maybe been a tough season up to now, but we forget about that season. We’re on to the new season, with a new mindset and new things happening.”

The next games in that new season will be at the Farrell Agencies Arena, with the Maulers meeting Swift Current on Nov. 24 at 4:00 p.m. and again on Nov. 25 at 2:00 p.m.

Close encounter The Yorkton CrossFit Bantam AA Terriers hosted the Estevan TS&M Bruins at the Farrell Agencies Arena Sunday afternoon with Estevan taking home a 4-2 win, with Reid Pfeifer and Jaxon Sperling scoring for Yorkton in the loss, leaving the Terriers with a 0-10-1 record for one point, last in the Bantam South Division of the Saskatchewan AA Hockey League.

Redblacks looked poised for Cup win

Playoffs in Canadian football have been somewhat surprising, not so much in terms of outcome but competitiveness.

The exception would be the University of Saskatchewan Huskies who upset the University of Calgary 31-28 on an overtime field goal back on Nov. 4 in the west final.

The Huskies weren’t expected to be a playoff team at the start of the season, and the win in Calgary was not on script.

A week later the pesky Huskies kept pace with Western in the Mitchell Bowl being tied with the powerhouse Mustangs 17-17 at the half before succumbing 47-24 to the defending Vanier Cup winners.

The Mustangs will now defend their Cup in hostile territory taking on the Rouge et Or in Laval. It should be a tilt

of titans.

In the Canadian Football League Hamilton rolled over B.C., and then hit a buzz saw in the east final in Ottawa.

Redblacks quarterback Trevor Harris threw for more than 360 yards to 10 different receivers, while setting a playoff record for touchdowns with six, and having an amazing 90 per cent completion ratio.

Ottawa’s key players are healthy and Harris is holding a hot hand which should make them favoured for Sunday’s Grey Cup. The west final pitted two teams that no true Saskatchewan Roughrider fan could cheer for. The game saw Calgary win over Winnipeg 22-14 in a defensive struggle that still saw a receiver shine as Eric Rogers had three

CALVIN DANIELS

Sports touchdown receptions for the Stampeders who return to the Grey Cup for the third straight time.

One might think it is Calgary’s time to finally win, but I am picking the Redblacks to win.

Lacrosse

A big boo to one of my favourite sports leagues this week.

The National Lacrosse League is at loggerheads with its player’s union over a new contract, and talks appeared stalled, or

at least they are moving forward at a glacial pace, as both sides appear entrenched well short of any common ground.

The situation has already seen the league cancel the first two weeks of the regular season, games set to start the first weekend in December.

That the announcement used the word cancelled rather than postponed means fan with season tickets to any of the teams in the league are going to face frustration in getting rebates or vouchers.

But that is just the smallest irritation.

The more concerning issue for the league, the owners and the players, is that this disruption of the 2018-19 season puts the skids on a period of positive momentum that basically started with the league hiring Nick Sakiewicz as commissioner.

Almost from the day of his installation Sakiewicz has talked about the potential for the NLL to grow into something more significant in the world of sports than the nine-team league had been. And, the first step in his vision was to grow the league.

The Philadelphia Wings and San Diego Seals are the first teams in that expansion plan, with both set to begin play in December.

San Diego in particular is a new market

for the sport, and that means they are trying to create a buzz for the Seals to attract new fans.

Cancelling season starting games has to be a buzz kill that could too easily turn off fans with only a casual interest until the sport wins them over.

If the two sides don’t get a deal done soon and more game cancellations occur it is going to leave a bad taste even in cities where fans are solidly into lacrosse, the Saskatchewan Rush among those who may face an erosion of the good will the team has established since its arrival in Saskatoon in 2015.

Both sides need to find a way to give a little to get a deal done to keep the great league moving forward for the good of the sport’s future.

Terriers back to their winning ways

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer It was a key matchup on neutral ice as the Terriers hosted Estevan in Canora Saturday.

Jake Heerspink gave Estevan the lead at 7:45 of the first period, but Chantz Petruic and Cole Keenleyside would reply for the Terriers to give them a 2-1 lead through 20-minutes of play.

Jared Legien would score the only goal of the second period, his 20th of the season to extend the Terrier lead to 3-1.

It took only 1:13 into the third before it was 4-1 on a goal by Tyson Janzen.

With only 47-seconds left on the clock Michael McChesney would add one for the Bruins, but it was too little, too late for Estevan as the Terriers won 4-2.

Ben Laidlaw had a big night in the Terrier net facing 41-shots in securing the win. Grant Boldt took the loss for the Bruins facing 38.

Terrier head coach Mat Hehr said playing the game in Canora was a great experience, made better by the win.

“It was fun. It’s a small barn and it was packed,” he said. “The guys really enjoyed it … Canora did a really good job hosting it.”

The Terriers also played well in the tighter confines, something Hehr said was aided by practicing at the Kinsmen Arena in the city.

“It helped us adjust to it,” he said, noting the Kinsmen is a smaller surface too.

Last Tuesday

It was a seesaw battle from the outset in Wilcox Nov. 13, versus the Notre Dame Hounds.

It took only 1:45 into the contest for Dino Antoniadis to give Yorkton a lead, but Nolan

Renwick would reply for the home team to send the teams to the dressing room deadlocked 1-1 through 20-minutes of play.

A powerplay marker

by Charles Martin gave the Hounds a second period lead, but Brenden Klatt would reply for Yorkton leaving the teams tied 2-2 through two periods.

Thirty-five seconds into the third the Hounds again took the lead, this time on a goal by Jarrett Penner.

The Hound lead would hold until 19:26 when Antoniadis would knot the contest 3-3 with his second of the night.

The five-minute overtime would settle nothing, sending the game to the shoot-out where a goal by Yorkton’s Casey McDonald would prove the winner.

Ben Laidlaw was the winning netminder facing 33-shots in the Terrier net, while Andrew Henderson took the loss facing 29.

The two wins on the week extended the Terrier record to 12-91 for 25 points, and second place in the SJHL Viterra Division. Estevan leads the Viterra with 27 points. However the standings may be slightly skewed as the Bruins have played five more games than the Terriers, and have only a .500 winning percentage, while the Terriers sit at .568.

Hehr said he realizes the games in-hand are important, but added, “they don’t mean anything if you don’t win them.”

That said, Hehr said he doesn’t want his players focused on the five games safety net.

“I try not to let the guys think too much …

The focus has got to be the next game,” he said.

Melville and Weyburn are tied for third in the

Viterra, both with 18 points.

As for the two wins, Hehr said the key was better defence, allowing only five goals in two games.

“It was the ethic,” said Hehr.

work

Hehr also said Laidlaw had a good week, steadying things in the Terrier net.

The Terrier blueline has also been bolstered by the arrival of Kurri Woodford acquired in a trade from the Notre Dame Hounds.

“I wanted a veteran on defence,” said Hehr, adding Woodford was on his radar even last year.

“He’s stepped right in.

He hasn’t looked out of place.”

Up next The

Bruins

were

scheduled to visit Yorkton Tuesday, but results were not available at press time.

Friday the Terriers head north to face Melfort, and then return to the Farrell Agencies Arena to host Humboldt Saturday.

ENTER TO WIN A PAIR OF TICKETS TO:

It was the YRHS senior boys’ volleyball team’s first provincial visit in six years, but it was not their first provincial win. The young team, with only one grade 12 student, played in the 5A provincial tournament on Nov. 16-17 in Prince Albert.

The team began their weekend against Holy Cross from Saskatoon, losing in the first game in straight sets. They went on to meet St. Mary out of Prince Albert, winning one set but ultimately losing the game. They ended Nov. 16 playing against Greenall out of

Balgonie, losing in two straight sets.

It wasn’t all losses for the young team, as their first game on Nov. 17 saw the young team take out Riffel out of Regina in straight sets.

In the playoffs, the Yorkton squad met Swift Current, but they were unable to beat the team, losing in straight sets and ending their run at the provincials.

Swift Current’s run continued to the finals before losing to Greenall in the gold medal match.

Coach Dion Pfeifer said that this year’s provincial run was about building experience for the young team, and he admits that they were

definitely the youngest and most inexperienced team at the tournament.

However, he’s proud of their work, saying they fought hard each match.

This year’s provincial tournament might not have lead to a top prize, but it did give the team experience they can use for next year, especially as only one student on the squad is graduating.

Pfeifer would also like to thank that player, Teo de Guzman, for his contributions to the volleyball team over the past two years and wish him the best of luck as he continues on to post-secondary education, especially as he is likely to play college volleyball.

NYGREN - It is with sadness, we announce the unexpected, peaceful passing of Gary Nygren in Burnaby, BC on November 4, 2018.

Gary was born on October 29, 1949 in Yorkton and grew up in Springside. Gary was very active in sports both as a participant and as a spectator. Gary moved to British Columbia and worked in the construction industry as well as owning O’Ryan’s Bar and Grill.

Declining health forced him to retire.

Gary was predeceased by his father (1961), his mother (2012), and his sister-in-law Betty in 2017. His memory will be cherished by his children Ora (Eric), Sarah, Brooklyn, Brendan and Lisa as well as grandchildren and great grandchildren.

He is also survived by his brother Wayne and sister Beverly, as well as numerous family and friends. Gary was a kind, generous and accepting man. He will be missed. A Celebration of Life was held in Burnaby, BC.

ZORN - Our Mom, (Thus) Nelda Margaret Zorn (nee Kendel), was born on July 31, 1928 at the family farm on the outskirts of MacNutt, SK. She was the seventh child of the ten children born to Adolph and Margaret (Becker) Kendel.

Mom completed 10 years of school in MacNutt. Mom met a young farmer, Claude Richard Zorn and married him on October 25, 1948.

They farmed together for a couple of years just Outside of MacNutt and then Dad decided to take a job as a grain buyer with the Sask.

Wheat Pool. During Dad’s career as a grain buyer, Mom moved with him to various locations including Mehan Siding, Marchwell, Duval and Southey. Along the way, they were blessed with five children.

They remained in Southey and retired there in 1985. When Dad’s health began to decline in 2006, they moved to The Bentley Retirement Community in Yorkton, SK to be closer their daughters. In 2011, due to declining mental health, Mom moved to Academy Road at St. Paul’s Lutheran Home in Melville, SK where she was cared for and lived until her passing. Mom was a hardworking wife and mother with a strong faith and Christian values. She was baptized, confirmed and married in the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod.

Church activities were central to her family’s life. She was an avid member of the church choir, the Lutheran ladies groups, played the organ, taught Sunday school and vacation bible school and served at many a funeral luncheon. Mom was very community minded and participated in the many clubs and sports related activities that her children participated in including the figure skating clubs, hockey clubs, school activities, and 4-H Clubs and many others. Mom was a wonderful neighbor and many of her neighbors became her best friends or are still considered part of her family. While her family was growing, she helped to supplement the family income selling Avon and Tupperware. Once the youngest two kids were in school, she worked part time outside the home. Church caretaker, waitress, and short order cook were just some of the jobs she enjoyed and worked hard at. Her employers became her close friends. Mom enjoyed people and she loved socializing over a good game of cards, curling, quilting, and golfing. She was an avid gardener, and crafter, and loved to knit and crochet. Mom’s pride and joy were her family. She was a dedicated sister, loving parent and grandparent, aunt and godparent. She worried about each of us in turn, from our birth until her death. She was happy to see her family come home to her, whether in part, or all together and, she often said, happy to see us leave again. Once home, her children and grandchildren enjoyed their favorite meals as Mom was an accomplished cook and baker. German sour cabbage rolls, Bierocks, Kuchen, borcht, bean soup, potatoe pancakes, fresh made bread, buns, and cinnamon buns, apple and Saskatoon strudel, butter glace and chicken noodle soup, and saskatoon and plum pierogis, just to name a few. Every one of her children had their own favorite meal and each grandchild will tell you about her chocolate chip cookies and other baking delights.

Unfortunately, once the great grandchildren began to arrive, her health had begun to decline and they have missed seeing and knowing her in her prime and have tried only one or two of her recipes. But Mom enjoyed the regular visits of her five little great-granddaughters until her passing.

Waiting for Mom’s triumphant arrival in heaven, along with Jesus, was her husband, Claude, her oldest son Allan, her great-grandchild Cohen Nelson, grand-dog Harley and many other family members and friends. Left to celebrate her life are: her daughter-in-law Lindsay Zorn (Allan), and her granddaughter Brenda (Michael) Nelson and her great granddon Reese, great granddaughter Summer and great grandson Shepherd Nelson and her grandson Darren Zorn; her son Bryce and daughter-in-law Sylvia Zorn, her grandson Aaron Zorn, her granddaughter Tara Lasko and great grandchildren Amara and Micah Lasko; her daughter Heather Gartner and her granddaughter Aimie (Rory) Pasiechnik and great granddaughter Aly Apland; her granddaughter Kayla Gartner (Jack Davis) and her great granddaughters Aiva, Dominique, Raylynn and Vienna Davis; her daughter Carolee Zorn and favorite son-in-law Lynton Evans and her granddaughter Rebecca and grandson Jordan Evans; her son Michael and daughter-in-law Julie Zorn; her sisters Marie Wagner and Eleanor Haas, her brother Curtis and sister-in-law Sandy Kendel, her sisters-in-law Lois and Sylvia Kendel and many nieces, nephews and friends. Mom is not lost, we know exactly where she is – in heaven, healed, whole and fully restored. We are comforted knowing, and look forward to being reunited with her in heaven when we are done our Lord’s work here on earth and are satisfied and ready to depart. Mom will be truly treasured in our memories until we meet her again. A funeral service for Nelda was held on November 10, 2018 from the Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Southey, SK. with Pastor Andrew Cottrill officiating. Pall bearers Aaron Zorn, Darren Zorn, Jordan Evans, Lynton Evans, Gordon Barager and Allan Ritter laid Nelda to her final rest at the Emmanuel Lutheran Cemetery in Southey.

OYSTRICK - It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Jordan Oystrick on November 1, 2018. Jordan enjoyed going for coffee at 4 a.m. to meet his dad and many seniors. If he missed coffee at 4 a.m he would later go pick up coffee and walk across the street and have coffee with his dad. He went to school at Yorkdale and later attended the Regional.

He took a course to work with children at day cares. He worked for a short while at Superstore but had to leave work due to his seizures.

Jordan lived with his grandparents for many years. He moved on his own three years ago and had a small apartment. He often had friends over for a meal. He was a good cook, collaborated by all his friends! Grandma and Grandpa took him to all his appointments and kept in contact with him daily.

He had many friends. Jordan and his very close friend “Chevy” Christopher Chevdalae were practically inseparable. When Chevy moved to Melville, Jordan missed him. They spent many hours with friends at McDonald’s. Henry Brisky was another close friend of Jordan’s.

Jordan was always excited for February 11 – the birthday he shared with his younger brother, Jeramy. Jordan was eleven years older. Jordan never missed a holiday function at Grandma and Grandpa’s – especially for the beatniks! He went to Regina whenever he was able to get a ride to visit his mother and family that lived there. After Jeramy moved to Regina, he would come home to Yorkton every second weekend to be with Dad, Jordan and grandma and grandpa. Jordan will be lovingly remembered by his father, Mervin, his mother Sherry Matychuk (Kevin Heinemann) their children Alicia and Tannea, his grandparents Peter and Marie Oystrick, Skye Grywarcheski, his little niece Layla and many aunts, uncles and cousins from both sides of the family. Jordan was predeceased by his grandparents, Joseph and Rose Matychuk and his brother Jeramy (August 22, 2017). Special thanks to Michael and Mavis, Mel and Tammy for their support and help. A funeral service was held for Jordan on November 9, 2018 from the Chapel of Christie’s Funeral Home with Shelly Morris officiating. Jordan will be forever missed and in our hearts.

“She was there when we took our first breath and we were there when she took her last. What a precious gift” DICKSON - Elizabeth (Betty) Mary Jane Dickson, beloved wife of the late Elmer Dickson, passed away peacefully with her three daughters by her side at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre on November 8, 2018 at the age of 92 years.

Betty had a rich life full of love, family, music and giving back to her community. She created fun and laughter that led to wonderful memories for many. Her greatest loves were her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Betty also had a very close relationship with God and lived her life in the assurance of His love and presence. She was born on March 12, 1926 to Thomas and Gudrun (Runa) Smith in the Rothbury District and had four brothers: Robbie, Doug, Max and Tommy and two sisters: Elva (Murray) and Peggy (Trowell). Betty moved with her family to the Pennock District at age seven where she attended school and developed a life-long love for learning and being with others. With several siblings off to war and after her Dad’s untimely illness, her mom had to go back to teaching school. Betty had to quit school and help care for her father while working very hard on the farm. This would impact the path of Betty’s life as she sacrificed her dream to go to school to become a nurse. Although life on the farm had its challenges and difficulties, this became the foundation of Betty’s lifelong love of the importance of faith, family and caring for others. Music always filled their family home which contributed to Betty’s passion for music throughout her life. Betty became the church organist at a very young age and was often asked to play the organ/ piano at functions right up until a few years ago. But most often, you would find Betty directing a church choir, whether the Saltcoats Senior, Intermediate or Junior choirs for many years. She was dedicated to this position and especially loved the Christmas Cantatas. Although Betty and Elmer had noticed each other when they were both quite young, they never actually met until they were introduced at Elmer’s sister’s wedding (Bert and Vi Trowell) in November, 1947. They fell in love and were married on November 12, 1949. It would be 12 years before they were able to have children. During this time they were busy working with kids in the Saltcoats United Church with the High C Group, church choir and other community activities. In 1954 Betty answered an ad for a Nurse’s Aide at the Saltcoats Hospital. She was excited as this started her dream of working in the nursing field. Unfortunately, in 1960 when her mom became ill Betty quit her job to care for her. In 1961, Karen, their first of three daughters was born, followed by Marilyn in 1962 and Cheryl in 1966. In 1971 Betty returned to the workforce as a Nurse’s Aide at Pine Unit, Mental Health Services in Yorkton until she retired. Life became very busy as the girls were encouraged and supported to be involved in numerous activities such as music, sports and dance. She would do anything for her daughters. After working a night shift, she could be found sleeping between the girls individual recitals at music festivals, but would wake to ensure she never missed a moment. Betty was actively involved in the community by planning and participating in various activities, committees and boards. In her “spare time”, she loved to compose music, teach piano lessons, write poetry, crochet, knit and she even found time to start the ‘Moms and Tots’ program. Betty always felt blessed that she was never cold, never hungry, always had a roof over her head, and always felt loved. Betty was predeceased by her husband Elmer, her parents Thomas and Runa; her brothers Robbie, Max, Doug and Tommy and her sisters Elva and Peggy. She will be lovingly remembered and missed by her children: daughter Karen (Colin) Bassingthwaite and their children, Justin (Jen) and their children Blake, Evan and Brodie; Cailean (Mike) Jacques and their children Caylen, Rowan and Madden; Braden (Kara); daughter Marilyn (Todd) Britton and their children Logan (Chelsey) and his children Ronin and Carter; Tyler (Karli) and their children, Kiya, Macie and Lara; Maegan; and daughter Cheryl (Bob) Thomas and their children, Branden; Lyndsay (Zach) Ziefflie and their children Sutter and Lyla. Also left to mourn her passing is her sister-in-law Helen Smith, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and many good friends. A funeral service was held on November 12, 2018 at St. Andrew’s United Church with Roland Legge officiating. Logan Britton, Justin Bassingthwaite and Branden Thomas gave eulogies. Ray Yost sang a solo and Jesse Baron, Martin Phillips, Tim Linsley and Murray Stewart played a quartet. Shani Apland accompanied on the organ. Following the service, Betty was laid to her final rest in the Saltcoats Cemetery.

They were married for 64 years and now she is reunited with her beloved Harry. Rosie worked on their mixed farm beside her husband.

She volunteered in all sorts of community activities. You could always count on her to bring one of her famous poppy seed chiffon cakes to birthday parties and other gatherings.

She very much enjoyed visiting. She could often be seen transporting friends and neighbours to church, doctor appointments in Yorkton and Regina, or to other activities. She liked sewing but found it difficult later in life due to time and health constraints. Mom and Dad always had a large garden and often gave away much produce. The church was always an important part of her life. She actively participated in the Willowbrook Ukrainian Catholic Church. Once in Yorkton she attended St. Mary’s. Later when living in Golden Acres attended all the services there. Harry & Rose farmed in the Willowbrook district until 1982. They continued to live on the farm until 1998 at which time they moved to Yorkton where they purchased a home next door to Rosie’s mother. While there, she dedicated her time taking care of her mother until her mother passed away in 2011. She also took care of dad, worked as a home care worker and was a very active member of TOPS for many years.

LOCKHART - Carter Dale Lockhart passed in peace on Monday, October 29, 2018 at the age of twenty-nine in Regina, SK. His wife, Heather, along with immediate family members; parents (Dale & Shirley), sisters (Jennifer, Kristal, and Emma), nieces (Nikita, Danika, and Vienna), and nephew (Liam), and many loved ones who dearly miss Carter, wait with eager hearts and look forward to seeing him again one day. Carter made an abrupt, if not memorable entrance into life, nearly being born on the University Bridge in Saskatoon on May 12, 1989; he was the third born child of Dale and Shirley.

He was brought up through the Church and a Christian household, eventually being baptized, volunteering his time to be a Junior Deacon, and involved with the Worship Team playing piano and singing. Carter was a master of many trades and hobbies, such as his love of Taekwondo, cooking, baking, reading, music, and acting with the Paper Bag Players. He had a passion and immense knowledge about video and board games, which he loved to teach others about.

Carter was part of the Yorkton Gamer Guild. He enjoyed being around his loved ones, and was always present when someone needed him. Carter’s selfless acts made him loved by many around him, therefore joy was felt instantly when Carter was here with us. Carter received an outstanding performance award when he graduated with his Business Diploma in Yorkton at the Parkland College in 2009, and he was then hired at Parker Quine shortly after that, and also worked at Leon’s in their finance division.

Carter then decided it was time for him to return to school to finish his degree. He convocated with a Bachelor in Business Administration, majoring in Accounting, at the U of R in 2014. Carter worked in Regina for the Government of Saskatchewan in the finance department. Carter was devoted to his job, and the requirements that came along, including helping other co-workers, and stepping up to finish high priority tasks. Carter later met Heather Holcomb from Amarillo, TX, over the internet, and eventually married her on October 10, 2015 in Yorkton, SK. Carter was an important member to our family and will be regarded highly as a wonderful Grandson, Son, Brother, Uncle, and loving Husband, and will be missed dearly. Carter is predeceased by his Grandfathers, William Dan Lutz and Lorne Lockhart; his Uncle, Raymond Lockhart; his Father in Law, Donald Holcomb; and his Step-Grandfather Arthur Feige. Carter leaves to mourn his wife Heather, mother in law Dixie Holcomb, and sister in Law Shea White; his Parents, Dale and Shirley Lockhart, his 3 Sisters; Jennifer Lockhart (Liam & Vienna), Kristal Lockhart (Nikita & Danika), and Emma Lockhart, and his Grandmothers, Edna Lockhart and Joyce Lutz, as well as his Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. Our family would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Regina Police Services, extended family and friends who sent food, flowers, donations, and kind thoughts and prayers our way. The family would also like to thank Pastor Brian from Heritage Baptist Church as well as supporting staff who provided the luncheon.

Pattie Janzen and family for the special music performed, to Christie’s Funeral Home for arrangements, and to Kerry Geddes at Grower Direct Flowers. Special thanks go out to the Pall bearers, and those who have offered their support. Lastly, a final thank you to everyone who attended to celebrate Carter’s beautiful life on November 7, 2018 at the Heritage Baptist Church. Donations in Carter’s memory can be made to Canadian Mental Health Association (SK division).

November 26, 2001.

His smiling way and pleasant face Are a pleasure to recall; He had a kindly word for each, And died beloved by all.

Some day we hope to meet him, Some day, we know not when, To clasp his hand in the better land, Never to part again.

PROCYSHEN — In loving memory of my dear husband Avery, who passed away November 25, 2005.

When family ties are broken And loved ones have to part It leaves a wound that never heals And also broken hearts.

But looking back with memories Upon the path we trod I bless the years I had with you And leave the rest to God. The rolling stream of life goes on But still the empty chair Reminds me of the face and smile Of you Avery, who once sat there We cannot have the old days back When we were both together But loving you and precious memories Will stay with me forever.

In loving memory of Ernest Yaschuk

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, we'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye, you were gone before we knew it and only God knows why.

It's been three years and our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow, what it means to lose you, no one will ever know.

- Sending all our love to Heaven & Cherish your memories Pauline, Beverly, Barry, Brent, Carla, Mick, Tyler, Teresa, Bradon, Tannis, Stephan, Brandon & Brielle.

PLAN OF THE WEEK

PLAN NUMBER 1-3679 PLENTY OF SPACE FOR GROWTH This cozy three-bedroom cottage, designed for a lot that slopes to the back, may look small from the outside. But indoors, every amenity the contemporary homeowner could expect is available.

The covered entry’s 10-foot, six-inch ceiling extends into the foyer and the great room, giving an airy feeling. To the

right of the foyer is a den or third bedroom, ideally placed to double as a home office. Just ahead is a coat closet.

The spacious great room, with its gas fireplace and sliding glass doors to a covered deck, is separated from the kitchen and dining room by a change in ceiling height, from 10 feet, six inches to nine feet.

An eating bar with a double sink divides the kitchen from the great room. There is a

roomy corner pantry and plenty of counter space.

Just beyond is the dining room, with a window overlooking the back garden and easy access to the covered deck.

The master suite also overlooks the back garden and includes an ensuite with double sinks and a glassed-in shower stall. The oval soaker tub adds a touch of luxury. The walk-in-in closet occupies a bayedout space, providing more room for a couple’s

clothing and accessories.

The second bedroom is adjacent to a threepiece bathroom. The linen closet is just outside the doorway.

The stairway to the unfinished basement, included in the plans, is railed for safety.

A mud room, fitted with built-in cubbies, has access to the double garage.

Exterior finishes include horizontal siding and brick accents.

The front entrance and the garage are flanked by pilasters with brick bases.

This home measures 39 feet wide and 68 feet, 10 inches deep, for a total of 1,646 square feet, not including the unfinished basement.

Plans for design 1-3679 are available for $795 (set of 5), $860 (set of 8) and $912 for a super set of 10. B.C. residents add 7% Prov. Sales Tax. Also add $35.00 for Priority courier charges within B.C. or $65.00 outside of B.C. Please add 5% G.S.T. or 13% H.S.T. (where applicable) to both the plan price and postage charges.

Simple approach to changing flavour of chess There are a few hundred chess variants out there, and finding the ones that offer the most potential for fun without requiring a computer to figure out the moves is a definite challenge.

P.E. Robinson, creator of Kamikaze Chess has gone about things a bit differently.

There are no complicated new chess pieces here. Instead, Robinson has created what is sort of a new board. It is the same 8X8 grid, but land on a square, flip the card that makes up that spot, and you find what are essentially traps.

The game, which comes in a box about the size of a Reese’s Cup if the cups were square and not round, makes it rather easy to travel with.

The idea is to take the 32 cards which have ‘traps’ and lay them out

as the black squares on a board, then playing a regular chess game with the cardboard pieces also provided. That is a fine idea, although knowing every stop on a black square is going to throw a monkey wrench into the game may be too much for many.

Facing the prospect of game changing elements such as ‘trade’ where you swap the moved chessman with any other on the board, or ‘sudden death’ the moved piece is lost, is a tad overly chaotic.

Yet in the tradition of Knightmare Chess there is something just fun about the concept that Kamikaze Chess offers.

So are a couple of ideas I have played around with to maintain the ‘traps’ but reduce the chaos.

Mark half the 32 cards,

THE MEEPLE GUILD (Yorkton) meeple.guild@gmail.com and then randomly lay the pattern. Only the marked cards are traps when found.

Along the same lines, each player takes half the cards, so eight marked and eight not. Lay those out as desired on your home two rows. Only the opponent’s piece triggers a card to flip, (assume your army knows where the traps are to avoid them).

This gives players a chance to remember where the traps are to lure in the opponent, or

it can be random as well.

However you play with these cards, there is a lot of potential for some random fun, and mayhem in your game.

The game works for checkers too, which is kind of interesting in itself.

The game did have me wondering why Robinson created it. So off went an email to find out.

“I learned to play chess from my grandfather and father,” he replied. “Now I play with my kids, but I was seeing

them consistently being deflated because someone playing a true game with more experience always has the upper hand and is always a step ahead. I wanted to come up with a crazy (or fun) way to make games more unpredictable than having the best player just outright smash the other player, as a means to keep spirits high and odds more even.”

Robinson said the game came together quite quickly.

“I design very quickly and had a prototype within a month or two that was playable,” he said.

“After that, game testing was pretty straightforward with multiple age groups and skill levels to try out.

“Once we refined the problem areas, we developed more formal brief rules, which ship

inside each game, that helps start and guide players to a new kind of chess match every time.”

In terms of the best element of the game, Robinson said, “The compact aspect with big gameplay has been a priority since day one.

We wanted an extremely small form-factor (2x2inch square) that can expand to be a full size 16x16-inch game board, multifunctional and fun – all for a lower price than most other games and in one pocket-sized box.”

This is certainly a great game option for chess players, especially players who face opponents of different skill levels and want to add so randomness to level the playing field and just have fun.
