RCMP: Possible abduction attempt in Yorkton

By Cory Carlick Staff Writer The Yorkton RCMP are asking for anyone with information to contact them after an possible abduction attempt of a 10 year old elementary school student.

The incident occurred yesterday in the Morrison Drive/Caldwell Crescent area.

The student was approached by the suspect in a green vehicle with a greyish tint, while waiting for the bus.

The suspect is described as being in their 70s or 80s, with blue jeans and a black shirt under a coat of

unspecified type.

The suspect put one foot outside of the vehicle while asking the student if they wanted a ride, to which the student replied no. The suspect then left.

Anyone with further information is asked to contact the Yorkton Detachment at 306-786-2400.

Yorkton Chamber sounds alarm

By Cory Carlick Staff Writer The Yorkton Chamber of Commerce is sounding the alarm. Canada’s economic fabric, they say, is in danger, and you should be sounding the alarm, too.

The impact of the West’s inability to get energy resources to global markets, combined with tensions between prov-

inces producing resources and others that do not are compounding the problem, according to the Chamber.

“Canada’s economic well-being is at risk, in addition to political and regional tensions straining the unity of our country,” said Mike Stackhouse, President of the Chamber of Commerce.

A key step to bolster Saskatchewan’s economy is the pipeline to tidewater

as well as the ability to access markets worldwide.

“The first priority,” said Juanita Polegi, Executive Director, “is to fix Bill C-69.

“The government also needs to implement the regulatory changes promised in the Fall Economic update and make immediate plans to get our resources to tide water. Canadians have

had enough of the talk. We want to see real, concrete actions.”

The Chamber says there is enormous demand for Canadian energy products and Canada is squandering the opportunity to put more money in the pockets of every single Canadian as well as fighting climate change at the same time because of endless political bickeriung.

Emergency services update Chamber

the community? The Yorkton RCMP and Yorkton Fire Protective Services updated attendees of the most recent Chamber of Commerce luncheon about what they’re doing in the community.

The lunch came in the wake of a major change for the Yorkton RCMP. It has been a week since the Yorkton Rural RCMP and Yorkton Municipal RCMP merged into one detachment, all under the same roof in city hall.

Staff Sgt. Jeff Simpson said that while it’s very early into the change, and as a result many plans are still in the future, they are excited about what having both detachments together will allow them to do.

And one thing that is clear is that the change will allow them to do more both within the community and the surrounding area.

“Overall, we’re starting to see some of the benefits of the amalga-

Coldest Night of the Year A small but enthusiastic crowd gathered to walk across Yorkton for the Coldest Night of the Year fundraiser, which raises awareness of homeless issues in the area while raising

money for Yorkton Transitional Homes for Youth. The group raised over $7,500, which will be used for food and outreach programs to help people in Yorkton.

CHAMBER Continued from Page A1 that the change brings, the RCMP has been able to extend 24-hour policing to the entire area, not just the City of Yorkton.

The change also allows teams easier coordination, as crime doesn’t limit itself to municipal boundaries.

The RCMP is also creating more teams within the region. A third person has been added to the Crime Reduction Unit (CRU), up from two people previously. The city now has it’s own three-member General Investigation Section (GIS), which it did not have before the change.

There will also be an officer permanently attached to the schools with the creation of a fulltime School Resource Officer (SRO). While Simpson noted that they always tried to be involved in the schools before, having a full-time officer allows them to do more.

“With that position we’re hoping to hit some of these problems on a proactive basis. That would be one of the jobs of that unit, some education, some awareness, maybe even some peer mentoring, to get ahead of those problems at the beginning stages.On the other side, we use our

crime reduction unit and our police officers to tackle it from an enforcement perspective… By being able to build upon these specialty units we’re sometimes able to tackle these problems from two different angles.”

Yorkton has a relatively high number on the Crime Severity Index (CSI), a number compiled

ly, from taking place. I’d like to say we use those statistics, along with a number of other internal measures, to see where those peaks and valleys are happening and direct resources accordingly.

Not only the types of crimes, but where they’re occurring, what time they might be occurring at, who they may be occurring by. There’s a number of factors that we change and alter our policing service delivery model based on.”

Yorkton Fire Protective Services was

by Statistics Canada to see where and what crime is happening in the country, which Simpson reflected on in the presentation.

“Some things we can prevent, whether through education or proactive policing, and other things we can’t prevent, they just happen. No matter how many cars are on the street, it doesn’t necessarily prevent a domestic assault from happening within a house, or a drug sale from happening, or a drug sale from occurring, or a homicide, necessari-

represented by Fire Chief Trevor Morrissey.

He talked about how Yorkton is becoming a model for fire services in Canada.

“Mid-size cities have an issue with where they go with staffing, to ensure that they are providing a great initial response and a great depth of service. We’ve come up with a model, working with our management and staff, which has proven to work.”

That model is their temporary firefighter program. The program

exists to help fire departments cover staff absences without overtime costs.

When a full time member needs time off, whether for vacation, illness or other reasons, they have people in place who can fill that position. It helps with the budget, but it also helps with the worklife balance of members, preventing the burnout that comes with working long hours with little time off.

Part of making the program work was that the entire department is on board, said Morrissey.

“We’re fortunate enough that our staff have really bought into the program and they provide input to help make it better. I think that’s the key part, when your staff works together to make it work, it will work.”

The department is also working with fire underwriters, Morrissey said. They have improved their service, and the goal was to prove to insurers that there is less risk for businesses in Yorkton, something that would be a high priority for a Chamber of Commerce luncheon.

The end goal would be to see insurance rates go down in the city, because Morrissey said they will prove that the businesses in town are at less risk than they might be if they were located elsewhere, thanks to changes made within the department.

Riding history to save history

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Vintage snowmobile enthusiasts gathered south of Willowbrook to both ride a bit of history and save it. The Happy Centre School Vintage Snowmobile Rally brought together sleds older than 1981 to go on a rally through the area.

Over 60 riders took part in the 2019 event.

Stephanie Lockhart, one of the organizers of the event, said that this was the most successful rally they’ve ever done in the three years since they’ve started doing the derby.

The riders took a 23 mile trip on the sleds.

More people are getting involved all the time, said Lockhart, and they’re happy to see that more people are coming out and more people are participating.

“It’s surprising how many people like the vintage ski-doos, tinker with them and bring them out.

You’re starting to see the younger people bring out the old ski-doos, that’s cool too, that they’re getting into it and like the challenge, because they might not be running like the brand new 2018.”

It turns into a mobile show, and Lockhart said half the appeal of the rally is just people bringing out all their hardware.

“These guys, they spend more time looking at what everybody has, I think, than actually doing the derby... It’s almost its own community.”

The rally was meant for snowmobiles made before 1981. Newer machines were allowed on the route, and riders had to pay an entry fee, but they were there strictly as support vehicles, their riders were not allowed to win prizes at the event. That was to keep the focus on the vintage machines, Lockhart said, but she knows some people want to bring their partners along who don’t have their own vintage machine, or just were not too sure that their vintage machine will be as reliable as they need so a newer snowmobile nearby might give some peace of mind.

All money raised went to maintain the Happy Centre School where the ride began and ended.

Lockhart said that the building is part of the province’s rural history, and part of history that is

Vintage snowmobiles gathered at Happy Centre School to enjoy an old-fashioned ride and raise money to keep the school standing. disappearing around the province. While many people in Saskatchewan were educated in schools like the one-room Happy Centre School, there are fewer buildings like the school around.

“There are not a lot of actual school houses left that are standing. Lots of them, you’ll see them

marked with a sign that says “here was such-andsuch school”, but all that’s left is the property which is now turned into cow pasture... One of the unique things about this place is that it’s still in good shape. The reason it’s still in good shape is because the community has made a point of that,

throwing on functions, volunteering their time.”

The school is not in perfect shape - the roof needs repair, they have “a friend” who lives in the attic who needs to find a new home, and like every building it needs heat and power to keep it standing. But they see value in keeping the

building, the coat hooks painted with the names of the last classes to attend school, the books that they read still on the shelves, and the memories of the students that used to drive horses to school every morning.

“It’s really just to keep the building alive, to keep the power going.”

Perspective Moe may have won carbon tax case before it started

MURRAY MANDRYK

Mailroom Manager Jim Kinaschuk Advertising Sales: Sandy Kerr Chasity Demontigny

Murray Mandryk is a political columnist with the Leader Post

Politics It is a case that most expected Premier Scott Moe and the Saskatchewan Party would lose.

But if wins are measured in political gain, Moe may have already won by challenging carbon pricing in the Court of Appeal.

After hearing from the provincial and federal governments and some 15 interveners, the fivemember Saskatchewan court is now deliberating on whether the federal Liberal government had constitutional authority to implement its $10 a tonne carbon fee that rises to $50 a tonne by 2022.

One of the things the court is determining is whether the federal government’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Pollution Act is a regulator pricing on pollution or whether is, indeed, a tax as contended by the Saskatchewan government and its lawyers.

“If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, it’s a duck,” Mitch McAdam told the Court of Appeal.

This is important because the crux of the provincial argument is the federal regulatory industrial levy on polluters is not being applied evenly. Essentially, it was argued that the federal government made arbitrary decisions on which provinces’ industries are meeting standards and which aren’t. This is unfair to a jurisdiction like Saskatchewan that, by virtue of its oil, mining and farming sector and by the fact that we burn coal for electrical production, is hit disproportionally hard.

Moreover, it usually falls under the provincial authority to regular specific local businesses. Also, the province and federal government hold joint jurisdiction over the environment.

However, the thinking among most legal academics has been that regulating industrial pollution is a matter that is well within the constitutional jurisdiction of the federal government.

And even if it is deemed a tax as Saskatchewan has suggested federal government lawyer Sharlene Telles-Langdon argued it was still within the federal government’s authority to use taxation power or whatever tool it deemed necessary to address a matter of “national concern” under the Constitution’s “peace, order and good government” provision.

During her submission to the court, TellesLangdon argued that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are “indivisible” particles that do not recognize international or provincial borders.

As such, only the federal government can deal with the “cumulative dimension” of climate change and the federal government is well within its authority to require provinces to meet “minimal national standards” to deal with this “threat to humanity.”

In a nutshell, that was the court argument we heard earlier this month.

Now, it’s up to the court to decide, although it’s highly likely that whichever side loses will likely appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.

So even if the province wins its case, we will still face a carbon tax.

But maybe seeing this fight carry on for couple more years is also a win for Moe and the Sask. Party, too.

After all, there is a win in simply fighting an unpopular tax imposed by another level of government.

There were plenty of overtones of politics in the provincial case, including calls for no taxation without representation. (Yes, there was a reference to the Boston tea party among the legal arguments.)

Of course, the province might very well lose its legal arguments that the federal government exceeded its jurisdiction by applying carbon pricing on local companies regulated by provinces and by unfairly applying its carbon prices to provinces like Saskatchewan simply because it didn’t like this province’s GHG-reduction efforts.

But its lawyers did outline a strong brief with strong legal arguments.

And what may be even stronger is the political argument that Ottawa is being unfair to the West and could have evenly applied any tax directly on fuel so that all Canadian consumers paid.

In that sense, Moe and Saskatchewan may have already won.

Murray Mandryk has been covering provincial politics for over 22 years.

Reason to be optimistic about Cardinals

H

ow do you get a community on board with a team? That’s the challenge that the Yorkton Cardinals have with the upcoming season, but it’s the challenge they’ve had for the past several seasons. They need to get the city to care, and they have to figure out how to do that.

But this editorial won’t be pessimistic, because there are plenty of examples of teams, sports and activities getting pulled back from the brink, whether in Yorkton or elsewhere.

Moreover, the Cardinals seem to know their weakness in Yorkton, and are endeavoring to fix it.

The weakness has been community involvement, and has been for a while.

In effect, the community isn’t invested in the Cardinals. To their credit, they are planning to reverse that trend, and get Cardinals as part of the community.

They want to get people to see the players, not just at games, but at work, at the store, while enjoying other activities in town. In effect, they want to get their players as part of the community in a way they haven’t been before.

It’s a smart move, the easiest way to get people invested in a team is to get them acquainted with the players.

Someone might not necessarily be a huge baseball fan, or they might have not even been to the ball diamond before, but they have met a player or two and they like those people, and they want to cheer on those players and see what they do. It’s the doorway to being a fan, the person who gets you into the ball park and cheering.

The die-hard baseball fans have been there from the beginning, and always will be there, but getting the casual fans to the ball park, that’s what

the Cardinals need to do. Getting the players out in the community, in force, is a great way to convince people to get to the ball park. People aren’t invested in a team as an abstract concept, they’re invested in players, they have their favorites and the person they cheer for every game. Forging a personal connection with players makes it easier to get people to the ball park.

That’s not their only plan, they have ideas for special promotions, new ideas and other ways to get people out and interested in local baseball. It’s difficult to say what they’re going to do at this point – they have until May, and they have to convince volunteers to help them with a few of these ideas – but there is reason to have hope.

Which isn’t to say that the Cardinals have an easy time this year, they are in a bit of a hole and have to dig themselves out of it, and the team knows it.

But beyond that, they also seem to be invigorated by it. Their annual general meeting had double the attendance this year as opposed to last, and the ideas for how to make money, promote the team and get people to Jubilee Park were flying around the room. This is a group that wants to save the Western Major Baseball League in Yorkton, and it’s easy to be optimistic that they’ll accomplish it.

A group of enthusiastic people draw others to them. Enthusiastic coaches and teachers have made Yorkton Minor Football a force to be reckoned with, for example. The Yorkton Cardinals has a tough road ahead, but one can easily see that the enthusiastic people behind the club are what’s going to allow them to travel it.

Yorkton artists win Saskatchewan arts grant

By Cory Carlick Staff Writer

now in their adolescent lives,” said Vincent.

The Saskatchewan Arts Board has awarded grants to two Yorkton-based artists.

A $5,000 Indigenous/Metis Art and Artists grant was awarded to screenwriter Angus Vincent, who intends to finish his full-length feature script, tentatively titled Take Me Away.

“It follows the lives of childhood friends who grew up together and are

“They have various experiences and goals for themselves and each other and these differences play a role in fueling the dialogue of the story. I have the first two scenes laid down and would like to continue until completion. Closing myself away with no distractions is what I’ll need to do to get this done.”

The grant, Vincent agrees, will be extremely helpful in terms of focus.

“I intend on taking some time for myself within the next two months to create and complete this story and this grant will definitely help with the monthly expenses. I also intend on meeting with fellow writers in Saskatoon to basically seek advice and possibly workshop my written piece.

This grant will help with travelling expenses as well.”

Vincent’s next steps, he says, are to conduct read throughs with fellow actors to ensure the flow is as tight as

possible.

“The ultimate goal for me would be to see this story live, whether it be on a stage as a play or onscreen as a pilot.

Have to dream big and you just never know.”

The Artists in Schools - Projects grant, in the amount of $6,788, which is intended to increase student awareness and a sense of cultural connection through media. The recipient of this grant requested anonymity for privacy reasons.

Coroners investigation completed The Saskatchewan Coroners Service has completed its investigation into a collision between a coach bus and a semi-tractor trailer on April 6, 2018. The collision occurred at the intersection of Highway 35 and Highway 335 in rural Saskatchewan.

The investigation has determined that 16 people died as a result of the collision. In all of the deaths, the cause of death was injuries due to a motor vehicle collision.

The manner of death was accidental.

Pursuant to The Coroners Act, 1999, the following recommendations are being made: To the Deputy Minister, Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure: That the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure review their policy with respect to the installation of traffic control devices and signs at and in advance of the intersection, having regard to the sight lines and the expected speed and volume of traffic.

To the Director, Saskatchewan Highway

Patrol: That the Saskatchewan Highway Patrol review their policy and operating procedures to ensure stricter compliance with respect to regulations and standards for commercial vehicle drivers.

To the Chief Coroner, Saskatchewan Coroners Service: That the Saskatchewan Coroners Service create and train staff with respect to a mass fatality plan. This includes reviewing policy and standard operating procedures with respect to

identifying the deceased.

To the President and CEO, SGI: That SGI work with the trucking industry to implement standardized and possibly mandatory training for truck drivers.

To the CEO, Saskatchewan Health Authority: That the Saskatchewan Health Authority review policy and standard operating procedures with respect to the identification of persons coming into their care resulting from a mass casualty/ fatality event.

To the Director, Road Safety Programs, Motor Vehicle Safety, Transport Canada: That Transport Canada: Continue supporting the development of regulations which enhance or improve the national safety codes with respect to driver training and electronic logging devices.

Create regulations mandating the installation of seatbelts in highway public transport buses.

The families and par-

ties to whom the recommendations are directed have been provided with the report.

The chief coroner has determined that no inquest will be held.

Coroners are authorized to conduct investigations into all sudden, unexpected and unnatural deaths occurring in Saskatchewan.

The investigation is conducted in order to determine the identity of the deceased, and how, when, where and by what means the person died.

SaskTel moving to paperless billing February 21, 2019 – SaskTel today announced it will take another step towards being a green company by initiating a plan aimed at reducing paper consumption related to monthly bills. SaskTel will begin migrating customers with access to internet to an eBILL on March 27, 2019 and will continue to gradually migrate customers throughout 2019.

“SaskTel has been named one of Canada’s Greenest Employers for the past ten years and we are committed to reducing the environmental footprint caused by our monthly bills,” said Doug Burnett, SaskTel President and CEO. “Every year, over 36 million pieces of paper are used to send custom-

er bills and along with the environmental benefits there are significant cost savings associated with decreasing the number of paper bills we send.”

SaskTel will be implementing a phased approach in going paperless and migrating customers to eBILL with the first phase targeting customers with an online mySASKTEL profile without eBILL (beginning March 27, 2019) and customers on pre-authorized payments (beginning mid-May 2019). Customers are required to have a mySASKTEL profile to be able to view their eBILL as well as manage their SaskTel services.

Following the successful completion of the first phase,

the second phase will see the migration of all remaining customers with an internet access throughout the remainder of 2019. Customers who have voice only access without an internet connection or have business services will not be migrated to eBILL. “We also realize in some instances due to personal circumstances customers require a paper version of their bill and we will provide customers with this option if that is their preference,” added Burnett.

Customers will be notified prior to being migrated to paperless billing and will be able to access their current and past bills anytime online

through their mySASKTEL account. With eBILL, customers can conveniently make secure, online payments using a credit card or they can continue to pay how they do today. They will also be able to see the last 18 months of bills and save their bills to their computer.

For more information about the move to paperless billing, customers can visit www.sasktel.com/billchange.

About SaskTel SaskTel is the leading Information and Communications Technology (ICT) provider in Saskatchewan, with over $1.2 billion in annual revenue and approximately 1.35 million customer connections includ-

ing 611,000 wireless accesses, 338,000 wireline network accesses, 283,000 Internet accesses and 113,000 maxTV subscribers.

Trade increase second highest in Canada S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s wholesale trade in December 2018 reflected a 16.3 per cent increase from December 2017— the second highest

increase among Canada’s provinces and the highest in Western Canada.

The increase was also higher than the national average of 1.7 per cent.

On a month-over-month basis, wholesale trade rose 4.0 per cent from November 2018, higher than the national average of 0.3 per cent and

February 27, 2019 - March 5, 2019

the second highest among the provinces.

The number also places Saskatchewan as the highest in Western Canada.

“Saskatchewan continues to show solid growth with solid wholesale trade numbers,” Trade and Export Development Minister

Jeremy Harrison said.

“These increases on a year-over-year and month-over-month basis reflect strong market confidence and demand for Saskatchewan products — a positive indicator for the province’s economy.”

Wholesale trade totaled $2.5 billion in December 2018, up from

$2.2 billion in December 2017.

Major year-over-year increases were recorded in motor vehicle and parts, up by 6.3 per cent and miscellaneous wholesale merchandise up by 53.9 per cent.

All numbers are from Statistics Canada and are seasonally adjusted.

Remember to consider exports

gencies_434855_1x25.a28_R001150610 2019-02-22 8

The other day, on one of those glorious afternoons when I was actually off for holidays, I was perusing Facebook primarily as a time sink, when I happened upon a post that I found interesting.

The post called for Canadian gas stations to sell only Canadian gas, and for stores to sell only Canadian beef.

While the post was rather specific in focusing attention on only two things, it made sense in terms of wanting to support the economy of Western Canada as oil and beef are rather significant to the region.

On the surface the idea would seem to make excellent sense.

Frankly I’ve often thought there should be a maple leaf tag on any product made in Canada so that consumers could support local producers, and local jobs.

But, then I paused long enough to remember items in a store are not so easily defined by some arbitrary border line on a map.

And, of course it’s important to remember the Canadian beef and oil sectors do rely heavily on export sales to be viable.

We only need to

Agriculture THIS WEEK

Calvin Daniels recall what happened in 2003 when a case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy was identified in a cow in Alberta. Borders closed to Canadian exports of cattle and beef and the country was left with mountains of beef to deal with in a country

with not enough people to deal with it. The cattle sector was shaken to its core with massive losses piling up until the BSE scare passed.

The Canadian agriculture sector in particular relies on access to export markets to be viable. It would be dif-

ficult to access those markets if we suddenly went to a Canadian only in-store system here.

The idea of a label works no better.

Producers in Canada fought long and hard against the idea of Country of origin labelling (COOL), in the United States because it was seen as a major detriment to market access of Canadian beef.

The issue becomes when does beef become only from a particular country? Is a calf born in Alberta forever Canadian? Or, if that calf is sold to a U.S. feedlot when it’s

500-pounds, does it become American beef at some point as it grows toward being ground into hamburger?

And, what about from a Canadian perspective, what do you label that same calf born here, finished in the States and then the steaks sold in a Canadian store?

The complexity of trade, and the need for open access as possible to foreign markets unfortunately make a sell Canadian only system one more likely to hamstring key sectors than it is to be supportive of Canada’s economy.

National Grain Week held in Ottawa Grain Growers of Canada (GGC) members from coast to coast are in Ottawa this week to meet with government as part of the second annual National Grain Week which runs from February 26-28. This year’s theme, From Report to Reality, focusses on harnessing the recommendations in the AgriFood Economic Strategy Table Report released in September 2018.

“This Report is an opportunity not to be missed for our industry,” said Jeff Nielsen (Olds, AB), GGC Chair. “We are excited about the future of grain farming in Canada and

are ready to work with government to achieve success.”

The Report lays out clear deliverables for government and industry aimed at supporting the growth of agriculture, agri-food and the Canadian economy as a whole.

As a naturally innovative industry, agri-food is a growth driver and GGC members have been pleased to see the Government’s recent recognition of that fact.

“It is so important as farmers that we take the time to come to Ottawa and meet directly with government on a regular basis,” said GGC

Vice Chair Markus Haerle (St. Isidore, ON). “Our sector has unique needs which focus on trade, innovation, infrastructure, and a strong regulatory environment; all of which are addressed in the EST report.”

The Report is just one in a series of recent reports that acknowledge the agri-food sector’s potential including the Barton Report, Budget 2017, and the Fall Economic Statement from November 2018. The Government has a focus on growing the middle class, and, as key contributors to strong rural economies grain farmers are clear partners in

achieving that goal.

In addition to government meetings, National Grains Week includes a Parliamentary reception on Tuesday, February 26th where Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Lawrence MacAulay will deliver remarks.

“Now that Canada is once again in a federal election year it is all the more important that grain farmers are vocal in our needs and advocate for our industry,” added Shane Stokke (Watrous, SK), GGC Vice Chair.

“We are proud of what we contribute to the economy and look forward to working with gov-

ernment and our industry partners to ensure that Canada’s grain sector is sustainable and competitive for generations to come.”

About Grain Growers of Canada GGC provides a strong national voice for over 65,000 active and successful grain, oilseed and pulse producers through its 16 provincial, regional and national grower groups. As a farmer-driven association, GGC advocates for the federal government to take decisions that support the competitiveness and profitability of grain growers across Canada.

Rural Roots brings information to farmers

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Farmers in the area will have a chance to learn with a new event coming to the city. Rural Roots will take place on March 8 at the Western Development Museum, with a tour at Harvest Meats and a social event at Back 40 Brewery to follow.

Craig Lester with Rural Roots Canada said their goal with the event is to have a wide range of topics to cover, in order to give farmers the most out of the day.

They’re also getting out of the classroom and taking

tours in order to get a bit more fun for everyone.

“We do like to diversify and give something to everyone.”

Several guest speakers will be at the event. They include Rachel Kraynick from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, talking about grants for producers to help with their energy efficiency. Kaitlyn Kitzan will talk about the 2019 Junior Team Canada Trade Mission to Peru.Mike Witkowitz will talk about grain movement and the importance of diversifying your market, while Mark Gottselig with Global Ag Risk Solutions will talk about business management.

The goal of Rural Roots is to bring informational events to farmers, rather than make those farmers go to larger centers. Lester said that at their previous event in Rolling Hills, AB, farmers loved being able to interact with the speakers and take tours during the day.

All money raised will stay in the community, with funds being donated to the Yorkton Exhibition Association.

Registration is at 8:00 a.m. on March 8. More information can be found at ruralrootscanada.ca.

Record crop insurance coverage for Sask.

Federal Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Lawrence MacAulay and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit announced enhancements to the 2019 Crop Insurance Program. Once again, Saskatchewan producers can access the highest coverage in program history as the Crop Insurance Program evolves and continues to adapt to the changing agricultural landscape in the prov-

ince.

“Insurance-based programs help to ensure farmers have the tools they need to maintain and grow their business,” said MacAulay. “Through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, our government is working closely with provinces and territories to ensure we have business risk management programs that meet the needs of farmers.”

“By investing in sound risk management pro-

gramming, we are providing a foundation for our agriculture industry to grow,” Marit said. “We want farmers to be innovative, make sound business decisions, and propel the industry forward as agriculture continues to be a major driver of our provincial economy.”

On average, Crop Insurance coverage levels are increasing to a record $230 per acre, up from $216 per acre in 2018. The average

coverage remains strong due to the success of Saskatchewan producers’ ongoing improvements in crop production with an increase in overall yields. Premiums have remained relatively steady, with the premium per acre only slightly increasing to an average of $8.61 per acre, up from $8.41 in 2018.

Producers faced ongoing challenges throughout the 2018 growing season. Excess

moisture delayed seeding, dry conditions and localized flooding challenged summer growing, and early frost and snowfall delayed harvest.

Compensation for producers is estimated to reach $300 million in claims.

Despite the challenging growing season, there continues to be a strong balance of funds allowing the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) to keep premiums

low for producers.

There are a number of enhancements for the Crop Insurance Program in 2019.

SCIC continues to work with industry to ensure its programs are meeting the needs of producers and advancements in agriculture. SCIC understands no two farms are the same, which is why Crop Insurance offers coverage based on a producer’s own yields rather Continued on Page A9

NDP leader visits FSIN winter assembly

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Ryan Meili, leader of the Saskatchewan NDP, wants to meet people. He attended the FSIN Winter Assembly and spoke about the challenges facing First Nations people in the province, and then toured the region in order to meet people in the Yorkton area and discuss their concerns.

Meeting with the FSIN, he knows there are big gaps in health outcomes, income, justice and education.

He believes that there is a big role to play for the province, connecting the federal, provincial and First Nations governments together to bridge those gaps and work together towards shared outcomes.

“There is a model that does that in Australia that I think is quite inter-

esting. Once a year, there is a closing the gap report that is released, that tells the story of what is going on, and then the Prime Minister gets up and gives a speech called the Closing the Gap address, that says what the facts are and what is being done. That’s a process that I would like to implement here.”

The NDP is responding to a slow down in certain industries in Saskatchewan, especially in construction. He notes that the PST that now applies to construction is making it difficult for many projects to get started, leading to a slowdown within the industry.

The party is also focused on mental health.

Meili said that they hear about a shortage of professionals in the field and a lack of access wherever they go, which concerns them as they travel the province.

ing money because they’re selling power back to the grid. We think that’s a great way to make life more affordable while at the same time make lots of jobs.”

Their goal is also to get out of Saskatoon and Regina, and he admits that the NDP has not spent enough time in rural Saskatchewan until now.

NDP leader Ryan Meili, far right, gives greetings at the FSIN Winter Assembly, held at the St. Mary’s Cultural Centre.

Meili believes there is a growing appetite for change in the province, and he wants to put forward ideas that appeal to people. He points to the

NDP’s Renewing Saskatchewan plan which works with rural areas to transition to renewal energy.

“We want to help with

those upfront dollars so their bills go down right away, they pay it off as they save and eventually their bills are next to nothing, or they’re mak-

2019, both programs will provide an establishment benefit of $90 per acre on corn crops that fail to adequately establish or suffer damage before June 20.

“We appreciate the enhancements announced today to make forage insurance coverage more reflective of local precipitation conditions and forage production capacity,” Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association Zone 1 Chair Henry McCarthy said. “These enhancements are a positive step in enabling producers to better manage their forage production risks.”

This year, 55 new weather stations will be added throughout the province to increase SCIC’s weather data network and to ensure the weather information captured is more reflective of the farms it represents. Producers have more options to select a representative weather station for their pasture-

land, through the Forage Rainfall Insurance Program. A larger selection of weather station options for corn acres is available through the Corn Rainfall Program and/or the Corn Heat Unit Program. Almost all agricultural land in Saskatchewan will be within 30 kilometres of an eligible weather station.

“SARM is pleased with the enhancements SCIC has announced to the suite of Crop Insurance Programs,” SARM Division 4 Director Harvey Malanowich said.

“We’ve been seeking many of the changes and have been active in the Forage Insurance working group. We believe the addition of over 50 weather stations will enhance the Forage Rainfall Insurance and the new Corn Rainfall Programs and will equip farmers and ranchers in Saskatchewan to best

inform their business decisions.”

He understands how easy it is for parties to get stuck in cities like Saskatoon and Regina, but said it’s not a very effective strategy, and you’re missing out on serving the people of the province who are looking for representation. He believes that the current government has neglected the rural areas with decisions like getting rid of STC, so they want to present an alternative and respond to rural needs.

CROP Continued from Page A8 than the average of their area. A producer’s insurance package can be custom-fit through a huge selection of price options, coverage levels and other program features to meet their own risk management needs.

“When the grass and hay doesn’t grow, when the weather doesn’t cooperate or when animals are lost to predators, farmers and ranchers need insurance programs to help them replace the feed and livestock they are expecting to have,” Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association District 5 Director Levi Hull said. “These programs help producers address those uncontrollable risks and provides some management tools.

Combine these programs with the price assurance of WLPIP and we are confident there is a full suite of insurance options available.”

Since 2015, SCIC has engaged with producers and the agriculture

industry. They identified insured values for grazing acres as a main priority, indicating coverage needs to more accurately represent the cost of replacing lost grazing production.

For 2019, insured values on tame and native grazing are significantly increasing to better reflect the losses producers experience during a shortfall in forage production.

Another enhancement for forage and grain corn producers includes the introduction of the Corn Rainfall Program.

This program provides coverage against lack of moisture for corn acres. Claims are triggered when precipitation is below 80 per cent of the long-term average at any of the weather stations across the province.

Corn acres grown for grain, grazing or silage are now eligible for protection through this new Corn Rainfall Program and the Corn Heat Unit Program. Also new for

SCIC also works closely with the Winter Cereal Development C o m m i s s i o n .

Understanding the challenges fall weather conditions can have on seeding winter cereal crops, SCIC extended the fall seeding deadline to September 30.

This provides producers an additional 15 days to be eligible for winterkill insurance when seeding fall rye and winter wheat.

March 31, 2019, is the deadline for producers to apply or make changes to their Crop Insurance contract.

SCIC has 21 offices across the province with knowledgeable staff who can help producers review the range of features and options available to customize coverage to the needs of their operation.

Producers who prefer to

do their business online are encouraged to use CropConnect to review coverage, options and make their insurance package selections.

Crop Insurance is a Business Risk Management program supported through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership. Under Crop Insurance, premiums for most programs are shared 40 per cent by participating producers, 36 per cent by the Government of Canada and 24 per cent by the Government of Saskatchewan.

Administrative expenses are fully funded by governments, 60 per cent by Canada and 40 per cent

by Saskatchewan.

Get ready to garden with Seedy Saturday Seeds were available for gardeners to get ready to plant for this season.

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Even if there’s snow on the ground and the thermometer reads -30C,

spring is coming, and if you’re a gardener it’s time to get ready to get planting. The ninth annual Seedy Saturday was all about preparing people

for the garden, with resources, knowledge and, most importantly, things to grow all on offer at the event.

But what about the

people who are gardening for the first time? The event catered to them as well, with presentations to answer their questions about gardens and what they should do.

Glen Tymiak talked about urban gardening.

His message is that you don’t need a lot of space to grow your own food, just a pot of good soil, a bit of fertilizer, water and sunlight and you’re on the way to having a garden, even if it’s relatively small.

“Some may not have a huge yard for a garden.

Some might have a little plot, just the size of a table, they can do that.”

People can plant in little plot, a raised bed, hanging baskets and other ideas like an upside down tomato plant. They can be grown on the deck in most homes.

“You can walk out there and get cherry tomatoes. You don’t have to have them in the ground, they can be hanging there.”

His most important piece of advice? Grow what you love. If you don’t like cabbage, for example, there’s no reason to put it in your garden, since the effort spent won’t lead to something you’re looking forward to eating.

Roy Beck was also at the event, answering people’s gardening questions in a Q&A. He talked about how to start a garden - start with potatoes,

“I like these things because it helps me pick my brain. I’ve forgotten more than what most people know in the first place.”

Sharing that knowledge is important, Beck said, because he wants people to continue gardening. He knows that there are people who hang up their trowel because they didn’t have the knowledge needed to successfully grow what they wanted, and unfor-

tunately they quit gardening as a result. The goal of an event like Seedy Saturday, to Beck, is to allow him to give his knowledge to people who might be starting out and don’t have college experience in horticulture or a lifetime of growing or experimenting with plants to lean back on. If he can give tips and help people successfully grow, it can help with their projects for life.

Beck was also selling seeds. His seeds have been grown for at least one generation in this climate, and he said that’s something that is an advantage when you’re buying seeds - they’re used to the soil here, and are better adapted to this growing environment.

The ugly ones make the best country music I have one very strong opinion on country music.

It’s also a very specific one. That is, handsome men typically make very bad country music.

This theory developed when thinking about how people wax nostalgic for the country music of the 1970s. I understand it, that was arguably the peak of the genre, and I also noticed some similarities between the men who made it: they were all ugly. Willie Nelson looks like a hippie burnout, Johnny Cash looked like he got in a fight with a truck and lost, Merle Haggard lived up to his last name and Conway Twitty was basically the spitting image of the drunkest of your dad’s friends. The handsomest

of the Highwaymen, Kris Kristofferson, still looked like a guy who didn’t understand the words “skin care regimen.”

But where it actually is helpful is with modern country music. Wilco is not quite mainstream, but lead singer Jeff Tweedy isn’t exactly the image of beauty, and one of the most acclaimed country artists of the past several years, Chris Stapleton, is pretty much just a mountain of hair.

As a result, I developed my biases in the genre, that being that handsome men make bad country music. It doesn’t apply to any other genre.

There is actually logic behind this. It’s not that handsome people can’t make good country music,

DEVIN WILGER

Thinking I do with words... they probably can.

Instead, it’s that handsome men have access to resources that the ugly ones don’t, and those resources actually make their music worse.

They are granted the keys to the kingdom, and one of the rooms those keys unlock is the room filled to the brim with songs that will definitely be hits. Songs that hit a checklist, hopping

between a conservative Christian faith, farm equipment and getting drunk in barns. Songs, and entire albums, that feel written by committee in order to sell to target markets. Songs that have been market researched to the end of their life, giving you by-the-numbers albums that are boring and, quite frankly, bad.

And those albums of

bad songs are marketed with a fresh faced young man with a good voice and impeccable skin.

They’re easy to market, look at this nice boy, wouldn’t you like to drink beer with him?

The reason ugly men make better country music would not be due to their looks, but because they aren’t easily plugged into a machine. If Stapleton was plugged into the cover of a Luke Bryan album it would look absolutely bizarre.

They can’t be marketed as nice young men you can have a beer with, and they aren’t going to get the committee approved songs because they’re not going to be the ones that can sell them.

As a result, they have

A11

to rely on their skills as writers and musicians to have a career. They can’t rely on having a good marketing team and a pile of songwriters to give them singles that will hit all the key demographics for a country music hit.

They make better music because they have to, since they don’t get access to the same machine.

The best music is by people who did not have an easy time getting on the radio. That’s not because you need to suffer to make good art, but because they are the people who had to make exceptional art to get noticed. Sometimes it seems like it’s a bit too easy for a handsome man to make a country music album.

Today I am going to tell you about a toy, something that can provide endless hours of entertainment for fans of video games and fans of dumb jokes. That toy is called Death Generator (www.

The generator, developed by Foone Turing, is a pretty simple device. It takes screenshots from old video games and lets users add their own text. It’s an incredibly complicated way to have a lot of stupid fun, with games being added at a near-constant basis. In some cases, such as Pilotwings, it has freedoms you don’t expect, like the ability to mix and match facial features for characters.

It’s a great way to make

YTW STAFF

Web Wanderings dumb jokes, whether you’re trying to reference the games on the site or just making a dumb joke in general. It’s just a really versatile toy, entirely

devoted to making these silly jokes.

Plus, it’s also fun to see the absurd amount of work that goes into the toy, which you can by

following Foone on twitter at www.twitter.com/ foone. They pour a lot of effort into making this thing, doing a ton of work into getting the fonts right, the backgrounds right, and making the entire thing look like how people remember it, all to make their favorite silly jokes with the toy.

Plus, if you keep following them, you can learn all sorts of esoteric trivia about old computers, learning about laptops that integrate printers or tech pioneers who

were not quite how you expected to be. You also get plenty of jokes and grousing about the frustrations of ADHD. The combination of one of the best Twitter account going and the delightfully silly toy that Death Generator represents, I can’t help but think Foone is the best thing on the internet at the moment.

For an extra spot to wander head to www.yorktonthisweek.com for this week’s web exclusive.

Federal government can’t keep story straight We have a federal government in chaos and there are indications of dysfunction everywhere.

On the SNC Lavalin issue alone, we have a story that has changed half a dozen times in an effort to control accusations of obstruction of justice. Whether you want to believe these accusations or not, there is no denying the alarming nature of similar allegations of obstruction in the Mark Norman court case.

I won’t go into it in this article, but I’d suggest you familiarize yourself with this as it’s an even greater indication of a government that has an agenda of dictatorship. A dictatorship I’ve warned about in a number of columns I’ve written in the past. Sure, it starts out all very nice with demands of service groups signing an attestation that they support social policies (such as abortion) of the Liberal government. But, that’s why we call these things slippery slopes.

I have to admit, I never thought Gerald Butts would put his own political head on the chopping block. I even wrote about as much last week. He’s admitted no wrongdoing and frat brother Justin Trudeau has said Butts resigned because he was doing a really good job.

I’m suspicious about it all, but if Butts has, truly, been removed from federal government influence, it tells me there is a very large storm brewing.

Minister of Indigenous Services, Seamus O’Regan, was in northern Saskatchewan a couple of weeks ago to announce millions of dollars in funding, including the unveiling of the First Nations University of Saskatchewan as an urban reserve, new funding for Lac La Ronge Indian Band’s proposed health centre, and upgrades to the airport in Fond-du-Lac. Missing from these announcements were new sheds for First Nations youth to store their canoes and paddles. It was two years ago during a town hall

meeting that Trudeau told us that young people wanted, “...A place to store their canoes and paddles so they can connect back out on the land.”

One has to wonder how many back bench Liberal MPs are close to fed up trying to defend a leader who is showing, by the day, just how unqualified he is to lead. Whether it’s the remark about canoes, dressing up in India, how he responded to allegations he groped a woman in BC over 18 years ago, his peoplekind comment, or how he is now treating females within his own cabinet, the evidence is overwhelming that defending him is indefensible. I’ve only scratched the surface of the blunders. Some media folks have written books on his embarrassing situations.

Conservative Senator David Tkachuk is the target of Liberals after he used a quote that said he encouraged truckers (the convoy that went to Ottawa last week to protest the federal government) to ‘roll over every Liberal’. No normal thinking person took that to mean he hoped the truckers would actually drive over Liberal supporters with their vehicles. But, that’s what politically correct social justice warriors do. They push their narrative and they win a lot of the time because even the most conservative of people don’t wish actual harm on those they disagree with.

So, we end up apologizing or punishing the person who gave the quote, even though nothing literal was intended (and the offended person knows as much too). Earlier this month, Liberal MP Adam Vaughan sent out a tweet that encouraged people to ‘whack’ Ontario Premier Doug Ford. But, this is okay? The reality is that neither comment is intended for physical harm. So, settle down.

The coach told his local media outlet, “When you see certain things happening out there, you don’t know if somebody could take something the wrong way and categorize you into that.” I hear concerns all the time from organizations who are in need of volunteers to coach and it’s only going to get harder going forward as we continue to cater to the select min-

ority of people who are chronic complainers and have no intent on stepping up and filling the void once they are successful in their political agenda of removing those they disagree with.

Nice person mentions this week: Denise Watson, Russell Cone, Tanner Goetz, Scott Fitzsimmons, Denine Rundel, and Charles McNabb.

candidacy. This latest digital technology solves the biggest challenge for hearing aid wearers – hearing well in noisy environments.

They say you can’t experience something fully until you’ve experienced it first-hand. The fresh, new bus system with shorter routes is part of the City of Yorkton’s pilot program.

So, Yorkton This Week decided to hop on one of the buses and experience the route ourselves.

“I think having the two new buses is always nice,” said Mayor Bob Maloney.

“The ride quality’s going to be a lot better.

The biggest concern that came to my attention was that the routes take too long. I can understand that because apparently doing the route was like an hour. That’s too long when somebody’s trying to get to work or school.”

“My understanding is that there are two loops and they take about 30 minutes, so if you can get where you’re going within half an hour, I think that’s a lot more reasonable, and hopefully it will encourage ridership.”

Donald Cannon, our driver, is a familiar face

“We have a north route and a south route.

We have two routes, now.

We run one bus at a time, and have a shift from roughly 6:45 to 12:30, the other’s from 12:30 to 7.

“We couldn’t run simultaneously because the traffic was too much to allow us to do [it]. And, Yorkton city traffic one has to stay on their toes,” laughs Cannon.

“I started driving in

2002. So, I’ve been here a large number of years. A lot longer I ever planned on,” jokes Cannon.

Some of the passengers weigh in, too.

Doug, a long time passenger, chimes in.

“I like the system,” he says. “Gets me where I want to go. Beats walking in the cold.”

Asked if the route change is an improvement, he shrugs.

“Doesn’t make a huge difference for me because of where I’m going, but it really depends.”

Another passenger gets on at Parkland Mall.

The conversation trails off a little bit and turns into a spirited discussion on various food

stores and the quality of it, especially Save On Foods. All the riders agree the food quality is exceptional.

“Except the fish area stinks,” she says. “It’s just rank.”

Granted, fish are not the most aromatically popular of scents.

Other feedback comes floating back, too. Need to clear the snowbanks.

Indeed, Stop 15, in front of Dairy Queen on Broadway was covered in snow. Areas with lesser traffic, one could certainly understand snow removal being a little late, but on Broadway?

Indeed, for a reporter in their early 30s who is also a runner, one can navigate a snowbank categorized at worst as mildly irritating.

However, for passengers that have mobility issues due to health or age concerns, having to navigate snow

Relevant classes for seniors

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Parkland College has a question for area seniors. What classes are relevant to you? What do you want to learn? What areas of interest would you like to explore for a new program?

Program coordinator Connie Brown is looking at what they can plan for the next year, and the best way to get a program offered is for people to show interest in the idea.

The college already has programs that would be of interest to seniors.

The Computing Basics program was developed with the assistance of the Yorkton New Horizons, with the intent of being a good way to get comfortable with computers, explained Brown. The next step of the program, an introduction to Microsoft Word, requires a bit of familiarity with computers, but is still pitched at that same market. That program is the next one up at the college, starting on March 22.

“Computer training is something that we’ve done quite a bit of with seniors.”

They find that it’s not the skills that are a barrier, but the terminology.

For a lot of people, it’s wading into a foreign language, so they spend a lot of time in a relaxed environment to get comfortable with the machines and what they can do.

“They might be scared or have never used a mouse before at the start, but at the end they are so proud.”

After that point, the college also offers a wide range of online programs that cover a wide variety of topics that seniors could enjoy through Ed2Go. Brown said that after they get a handle on the basics of computers, everyone wants to go in a different direction, and they want the basics to go in a different direction later.

“When someone is confident enough to do that on their own, it opens up a whole range of

on Broadway could be the difference between severe injury. We can’t all run a 10 minute mile, nor should we.

Overall, though, the shortened routes are generally welcome. The bus has comfortable, cozy seats and has a feel somewhere between an airline limousine and a small bus. It’s bigger than a van, a tad smaller than a bus.

The city is allowing riders to take the system for free in the month of February to see what needs to be done and to get feedback.

The main loop is centrally located, near the Co-Op. It is easily located off Broadway. The stop I got on, in front of the Dairy Queen, was well located - on Broadway proper.

Still, though, being on a main thoroughfare, there is really no reason why there should be a giant snowbank right in front of the bus stop.

Minus the aformentioned rogue snowbanks, though, the system is continually being measured, analyzed and changed in the hopes to improve.

But that’s just our initial assessment. What do you think? That’s what we want to know.

The Yorkton Transit system is free up to the end of February; as of press time you still have a few days to ride for the princely sum of $0.

I want to know what you think about the Yorkton Transit system.

Seriously. Have your say!

Connie Brown, pictured above, is looking for feedback for what classes area seniors might want from Parkland College. opportunities.”

But what about people who are not interested in computers? The college will also have a conversational Ukrainian course, starting on March 7.

Brown views it as a way to connect with grandchildren, as it’s something someone could take to bridge the language gap between generations.

But what else do seniors in the city want?

The Parkland College wants to get a lot of use

out of the Trades and Technology Centre, and that means offering a wide variety of courses to Yorkton residents, but what courses to offer?

Brown said that while they can partner with many different institutions to bring in a course and they are interested in meeting the needs of the community, they need to know what those needs are.

If you have an idea for a course that would gen-

erate interest in the community, contact Brown at 306.786.7335 or c.brown@ parklandcollege.sk.ca.

She notes that courses will need to have at least six to eight student to go ahead, but they’re interested in community feedback and want to meet the needs of local seniors as they seek to continue a lifetime of learning.

Understanding your microclimate The next meeting of the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society will be on Thursday, March 21 at 7:00 p.m. at SIGN on North Street.

Our special guest will be Sasha Howland speaking to us about bees and honey. This is a fascinating topic; we know how wonderful and extraordinary bees are, and how important they are to nature and to us. I know it will be a very interesting presentation!

Everyone is welcome; you don’t have to be a member of the group to attend the presentation. Please note the date of this meeting: on a Thursday, for this occasion only. Thursday, March 21 at 7:00 p.m. at SIGN. What is a microclimate? We often hear the word, but what exactly does it mean? The Oxford dictionary defines a microclimate as “The climate of a very small or restricted area, especially when this differs from the climate of the surrounding area.” This can be a controlled climate, like that in a greenhouse, or it can happen naturally, such as in a valley or on the side of a hill that receives more sun than the other side. It can occur in an area that is surrounded by many trees that block out chilling winds but still lets in a good amount of sun.

It can even happen

DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

Gardener’s Notebook right in our own yards.

A country garden may have the benefit of a solid, mature shelter belt to create a microclimate within the yard.

In the city, we have a different type of microclimate because of buildings being close together, fences around our yards, and pavement through the city that absorbs heat during the day and releases it at night.

A microclimate is based on several factors: moisture, temperature, and wind or airflow.

For example, when we walk into a greenhouse, the humidity is often the first thing we notice, and then we notice that fans or vents are open to provide airflow. Outdoors, we have to consider factors like dew, rain, frost, strong winds, no winds, bright sunshine… there are many things in the mix, but they all combine to create a little pocket of a climate that is different from the surrounding area.

What does this mean to us gardeners? It

means that in some ways, we may be able to be a little bolder in some plant choices if we have a sheltered microclimate.

As gardeners, don’t we always read what zone is recommended for a certain plant, and if we like the look of the plant, we go ahead and try it anyway, even if it isn’t for our zone? We’re willing to make that little extra effort for creating an ideal space or extra winter protection. With microclimates, we have some leeway to a point.

We all have microclimates without even realizing it. Look around your yard. Have you noticed how perennials up against the southfacing side of your house come up earlier? The heat from your foundation and the heat from the sun bouncing off the wall have created a small microclimate. Do you have a flowerbed along your driveway or along a concrete path? Again, a little microclimate because the concrete will absorb heat during the day and create a warmer environment for your plants.

What about plants that might like a little less heat, or maybe only morning sun? A microclimate can be achieved along north or east facing walls.

Remember, a microclimate will not make our plants invincible against frost. But in certain conditions, a microclimate may give us a few extra degrees, up or down, that can make a difference to some of our plant choices.

Slow down and veer into the bush Yorkton This Week | www.YorktonThisWeek.com | Wednesday, February 27, 2019

Red fox racing rails, I saw yesterday. Nose to the north, body and tail following, straight and rigid as the steel ribbons themselves. He moved so effortlessly, so smoothly that except for his blurred legs, he almost seemed motionless.

As we approached the railroad tracks, I’d noticed the creature running between them not far from us, silhouetted against the waking sky.

As we neared, it froze barely a moment to size up the dog at my side, then moved on.

“You go, Mr. Fox!” He reduced his gallop to a trot, turned his head to look back at us, then veered off the tracks and vanished. As though he had a pre-arranged meeting there, in that red bush. It swallowed him whole; the perfect

camouflage for a red fox running under a red sky.

Following an inner sense of purpose, known only to himself. And he didn’t come out the other side.

Jesus, scripture tells us, began his day purposefully too. Mark 1:35 records that He got up before dawn, slipped outside and headed for a more private place, where he stopped to focus solely on talking things over with his Heavenly Father. Like that fox, he had a mission. A private appointment; not with a bush, but with God, who once displayed himself to the Prophet Moses as a fire in a bush.

I try to start my days with a sense of purpose. Grateful for each new one. Bouncing with a “let’s get on with it,” mindset: Enjoy every blessing. Tackle every

responsibility.

Walk strong. Run well. No complaining. Connect with God on purpose. Pray about everything.

Some days I do better at all that than on other days. Especially connecting purposefully with God. The Preacher is fond of saying, “If we don’t have a time to pray, and a place to pray, we likely don’t pray.” He’s right.

I pray on the fly often, while walking, driving

or working. That’s good, understand — but it’s no substitute for veering into the bush. For disappearing from the view of others for awhile.

March 20th sees the Ergonomic Injury Workshop in session,

us to a place of uncomfortable vulnerability where we must admit our doubts and disappointments — in God, others and ourselves. But a purposeful, consistent practice of prayer also strengthens and lifts us, assures, comforts and feeds us.

MSA to hold safety workshops in Yorkton By Cory Carlick Staff Writer The Motor Safety Association will be holding a series of informative workshops from March 6th to 21st.

The workshops, which cover the fundamentals of occupational safety in the workplace, are free for MSA members, and a nominal fee of $100 per workshop will apply to non-members.

The Level I workshop, which runs March 6th from 8 am to 4:30 pm, covers how to locate

pausing in God’s presence. Giving him my undivided attention.

Stilling my racing mind and allowing his Word to speak life into my weary soul.

When I do that more regularly, vital things get said, vital things get heard and, eventually, vital things get done. In fact, so much is accomplished through prayer, that the devil cheers when we become too distracted, too busy, too apathetic to pray.

Honest prayer is hard.

Easy to avoid. It brings

where attendees will learn how to identify, eliminate and minimize the occurance of ergonomic hazards, with a background on safety fundamentals for managers and supervisors on the 21st.

All workshops take place at the Holiday Inn Express at 63 7th Avenue North in Yorkton.

The Yorkton Terriers were last in town on Wednesday evening, where they blew out the La Ronge Ice Wolves before hitting the road.

High scoring contests define Terriers week

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The goals didn’t stop coming for the Yorkton Terriers when the La Ronge Ice Wolves came to town.

The first period was a relatively quiet one, with the Terriers only triggering the siren at the Farrell Agencies once, for a goal from Quinten Hobbs, with assists from Cole Keenleyside, Jordan Mis. Then came the second period.

Mason Mullaney and Chantz Petruic alternated scoring, with Mullaney getting the first goal of the second – a power play goal with the assist from Colby Brandt and Petruic – and the third – Ryan Ries getting tagged with

the assist on that one.

Petruic, had the second – with Keenleyside andBrendan Mark helping – and fourth – Jaxon Blight and Andrew Henderson on the assist.

The third period was just as high scoring but with a larger variety of Terriers finding their way to the net, and the Ice Wolves getting a few goals of their own.

The Ice Wolves opened the scoring in the period with Stewart Pond, assisted by Jake Gudjonson and Zach Bannister. The Terriers responded, with Brendan Mark getting his first goal of the night, a power play goal assisted

by Colby Brandt and Mason Mullaney.

They kept responding, with Mullaney getting the first hat trick of the eve-

ning, Brendan Klatt on the assist, and Hobbs scoring for the second time that evening, again assisted by Keenleyside.

La Ronge responded with an unassisted goal

by Zach Bannister.

Not to be outdone, Petruic had an unassisted goal for the Terriers, getting the second hat trick of the evening.

La Ronge finished off the period with a goal from Jake Gudjonson, with an assist from Zach Bannister.

After the dust settled, the Terriers thoroughly routed the Ice Wolves, with a final score of 9-3, and two Terriers notching up hat tricks over the evening.

On Friday the Terriers travelled to Flin Flon to take on the Bombers.

In the first period,

Chantz Petruic picked up where he left off on Wednesday, opening scoring with an assist from Cody Bruchkowski.

The second period, however, started with a pair of goals from Flin Flon. Brandson Hein scored first, with an assist from Caleb Moretz and Jack Michell. Cade Kowalski had the second goal for the Bombers, with Donavan HouleVilleneuve and Chrystopher Collin.

Yorkton responded with a goal from Colby Brandt assisted by Chantz Petruic and Cody Bruchkowski. Brendan Mark took the lead again, with help from Cody Dubas and Cody Bruchkowski.

It was the third period that cemented the win for the Terriers. Aiden

Bulych opened the scoring with an unassisted goal, while Brandt got his second goal of the night with help from Bruchkowski and Petruic.

The Terriers wound up winning 5-2.

On Saturday the Terriers went to Nipawin to meet the Hawks, and were given a taste of their own medicine. While the score was the same as it was on Friday at 5-2, it was Nipawin that took the win.

Colton Nikiforuk started the scoring for the Hawks in the first, with help from Brodie Girod and Michael Makarenko.

The second again saw a Nipawin goal, this one coming from Arik Breton, with Walker Cote and Jack Lenchyshyn on the

assist.

The third period held the bulk of the scoring.

Nipawin again getting on the board first with Brodie Girod, assisted by Walker Cote and Gage Misskey.

The Terriers got on the board with an unassisted goal from Aiden Bulych, starting a new third period tradition of finding the net without an assist. The second goal for the Terriers came from Dino Antoniadis, assisted by Cody Dubas.

The rest of the scoring was all Nipawin, however. Jaxsen Wiebe, assisted by Arik Breton and Gage Misskey scored for the Hawks, and an empty net goal by Michael Makarenko, assisted by Walker Cote, finished the game.

Cardinals get ready for 2019 season

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The Yorkton Cardinals are optimistic about the upcoming season, but they know it’s going to be hard work to keep the team going in Yorkton. To do that, they need two things, community and creativity, and are focused on using both to get people into the park in 2019. The team held its annual general meeting on Feb. 24.

They will have more opportunities to get people to the park. The team will play eight more

games in 2019, including four more home games.

That has resulted in a bump in season ticket prices – they are now $175 for a year, a $25 increase that reflects the increased number of games that season ticket buyers will be able to attend.

While the team is still in debt, they are optimistic about what they can do in 2019. Team President Lyle Vaughan is excited that the room was full during the meeting, and hopes that the renewed interest means big things for the team.

He sees good things from having new directors and board members bringing fresh ideas to the team as a whole.

“People are on board, people want to get involved.”

One of the themes of the day was how to get the community at large to get more invested in the team as a whole. The goal is to get players out in the community to meet people. He believes this is key to getting people invested, as they would no longer just be going to the park to watch some baseball team, but to

watch the players they know.

“You’ll hopefully see us everywhere. We’ll get out and visit kids in minor sports, visit businesses and stuff like that.

That’s our goal, so hopefully you will see the Cardinals out in the community.”

The team is also going to try more unique promotions for games and different things to get more people out to Jubilee Park.

“Yes, the ball game is one aspect of it, but [we have to] try to change the

culture of the ball park to get people out,” Vaughan said.

Once there, Vaughan believes that they will want to come back.

“I don’t think they realize the caliber of baseball we have in Yorkton. It is college baseball, and if you look back over the years, our biggest claim to fame that we had through our program is Andrelton Simmons, who is playing Major League Baseball right now, he’s one of the best short stops. There is a chance for these people

to make it, the caliber is there, we just need people to make it out and check it out, see the caliber that we have and hopefully come back game after game.”

The season starts on May 29 with the team travelling to Regina.

First home game will be on May 31 against Melville.

“Come out and support the Cardinals for the upcoming season and see the caliber we have here in Yorkton!” said Vaughan.

Trade deadline gets exciting

Yorkton This Week | www.YorktonThisWeek.com | Wednesday, February 27, 2019

The National Hockey League trade deadline was Monday, and if not for Ottawa and Columbus, it might have passed with only the most diehard hockey fans noticing.

But thanks to the Senators blowing out their top three scorers, all of whom seemed to have little interest in resigning with the team, and the Blue Jackets loading up for a real playoff run, the week leading up to, and the deadline were rather interesting to follow.

Starting with the dumpster fire that is the Ottawa Senators, the general manager was once again painted into an untenable position.

Going back at least to Erik Karlsson, and now through the trio of Mark Stone, Ryan Dzingel and

Matt Duchene, players seem all too eager to escape the Senators.

It is difficult to build a winner when players in their prime continually opt to head to free agency forcing you to trade them away. Karlsson, Stone, Dzingel and Duchene were all in that 26-28 age range when traded out of Ottawa.

The Senators have picked up some interesting pieces in Anthony Duclair, something of a young reclamation project, and highly touted prospect Erik Brannstrom, but this is a team very much in the early phase of a rebuild.

With Ottawa struggling to resign its own free agents, it’s difficult to imagine they will find success in luring other top players into the fold,

Yorkton United FC U15 Boys

CALVIN DANIELS

Sports so the rebuild will be a slow one, and whether they can keep fans engaged will be the real question.

And Columbus after all the deals has to win, and win now, for next season could be too late.

For Dzingel Columbus gave up second round choices in both 2020 and 2021, and Duchene cost the Blue Jacket’s their first round pick in June, and potentially their first round choice in 2020,

(likely passed on whether Duchene resigns to stay in Columbus).

Columbus then sent a fourth and seventh round draft pick for 2019 to the New York Rangers for defenceman Adam McQuaid, and a fifth rounder in 2022 went to New Jersey for goaltender Keith Kincaid.

For the Blue Jackets who have never won a playoff round, the moves are bold. They have a sense of urgency to them,

and they are making a run at a Stanley Cup. The issue is whether a team adding so many key pieces can jell and suddenly win even three rounds to get to the Cup final?

If they fall short Columbus has to sign some of the unrestricted free agents it has acquired, or those that were already on the roster, because if they leave now, the cupboard would be very bare, and upcoming drafts are impacted as well.

Disappointingly Calgary did not get a top defenceman I was hoping they might, adding depth only acquiring Oscar Fantenberg for a conditional fourth round pick in 2020, so frankly a freebie acquisition.

The Jets made a nice

last minute pick-up bringing back veteran Matt Hendricks from Minnesota for a seventh rounder. That is good leadership and depth added for almost nothing.

Hendricks replaces the toughness lost when the Jets sent Brendan Lemieux to New York along with a 2019 first round draft choice for Kevin Hayes.

The Jets will need Hayes and toughness as Las Vegas got better adding Stone from Ottawa to upgrade their offence in a big way, Nashville got grittier adding Wayne Simmonds from Philadelphia, and perennial underachieving San Jose added Gustav Nyquist from Detroit.

The NHL west definitely got more interesting thanks to trades.

Maulers end season on a high note

By Cory Carlick Staff Writer The Yorkton RawTec Maulers ended their season on a high note this weekend, travelling to Tisdale to take home a 2-1 victory.

“We came in with the right mindset and the right preparation,” said Coach Dalane Lamb.

“When you prepare yourself the right way, you’re ready for the

challenge that’s upcoming. Our guys prepared ourselves the right way for the task at hand and ended up getting the job done because they were ready.”

Lamb still sees room for improvement, though.

“I’d like to limit the other team’s shots a little bit. The score clock didn’t necessarily say the correct shot story, but they definitely did outshoot us.”

DERWORIZ - Victoria Derworiz died peacefully with grace and dignity with her daughter Iris present on February 10, 2019 at the age of 86 at the Centennial Special Care Home, Langenburg, SK. Victoria Derworiz was born May 22, 1932 to Mike and Sophie Schur (nee Pasichnyk) at Sudbury, ON. The family lived there in the 1930’s, as her father was employed at the Sudbury Nickel Mine. The family returned to the Ethelbert District in Manitoba to farm in 1938. Victoria obtained her education at the Damery school located near their farm. She had two brothers, Nick and Carl and a sister Elsie, who have all predeceased her. She met Matt Derworiz, they were united in marriage on August 6, 1955 and then commenced farming on the Derworiz homestead with his parents. Victoria worked hard in all aspects while on the farm for 48 years. She possessed a strong work ethic, worked tirelessly on the farm yet was firmly committed to her religious beliefs.

She always led by good example in whatever she did, everything from baking bread, milking cows, growing bountiful gardens, canning of fruits and vegetables, raising chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese and helped with countless hours of labour during haying and harvest. The large gardens allowed her to share the extra produce with neighbours, friends and relatives. She described the sale of chickens, cream and eggs as her only earnings. She very much enjoyed cooking and baking and her kitchen was well known for the buffet style meals that she prepared for friends and relatives. In addition, she worked with many ladies in the community frequently preparing food for fall suppers, weddings, catering and working at many different social functions. Victoria also loved sewing, knitting, crocheting, embroidery and described these as her hobbies, devoting many hours to these activities during the winter months. Victoria and her husband Matt, who passed away in 2003, raised 3 children, Roy, Iris and Albert, with Albert passing away in October 2018.

She always enjoyed the company of her children, their spouses and was extremely proud of her grandchildren; Curtis Goods, Melissa Goods, Jonathan Derworiz, Mathew Derworiz and Michael Derworiz, always wanting the best for them. Victoria is survived by her son Roy (Joanne) Derworiz and sons Matthew and Michael and daughter Iris (David) Goods and their children, Melissa and Curtis and grandson Jonathan Albert Derworiz. There are numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members and dear friends and neighbours. The Funeral Mass was held on Tuesday, February 19, 2019 from St. Gerard’s Roman Catholic Church, Yorkton, SK with Rev. Father Andrzej Sowa, OMI as Celebrant. The cross bearer was Carl Schur. Scripture was read by Jonathan Derworiz and Curtis Goods. The general intercessions were read by Mathew Derworiz.

Verna Frykas and Darlene Nakonechny were the gift bearers. Accompanist, Chris Fisher, lead the congregation with the hymns, ‘Here I am Lord’, ‘Psalm 23’, ‘You are Near’, ‘One Bread, One Body’, ‘Songs of the Angels’ and ‘Though the Mountains May Fall’. Words of remembrance was given

by Melissa Goods. An honour Guard was presented by the members of the CWL. Honorary Bearers were Margaret Boychuk, Kathy Derworiz, Carol Yakimyshen, Susie Kindiak, Mary Soloninko, Lena Kohanski, Late Rose Kaminsky, Late Mary Mysko, Late Emily Strutynski, Late Stella Podollan, Late Elsie Purich and the Late Evelyn Miller. The interment was held in the Yorkton City Cemetery with Melissa Goods, David Goods, Curtis Goods, Mathew Derworiz, Jonathan Derworiz and Evan Derworiz serving as casket bearers.

DALSHAUG - Clinton Dalshaug, beloved father of Brian, Dwayne and Bruce Dalshaug, passed away peacefully surrounded by family in his home at Mctaggert Place in Edmonton on Feb. 9, 2019. Clinton Oliver Dalshaug born on Sept. 4, 1925 in Saskatoon to Palmer Justin Dalshaug and Rachel Lillian (Cooper) Dalshaug. Clinton attended Westmount School in Saskatoon for grades one and two. In 1933 the family moved to Margo where he completed public school.

In 1944 he attended normal school in Saskatoon then left in March of 1945 to teach in the Sheho area.

At the end of the school year he left realizing that teaching was not for him. On July 18, 1947 he was united in marriage to his high school sweetheart Muriel McLelland.

They moved to Flin Flon, MB where they resided for 18 months.

They then returned to the farm where they farmed for ten years. In 1959 Clinton enrolled in the Psychiatric Nurse’s program in North Battleford where he graduated in 1962. After working for 2 years in North Battleford they moved to Yorkton where Clinton worked at the Yorkton Psychiatric Hospital, which was the first hospital in North America to have an open door policy. In 1968 he transferred to the Yorkton Union Hospital as a medical social worker where he worked until retirement in 1988. In his youth Clinton was known as an avid hockey player playing with the Invermay Imperials of the Fishing Lake Hockey League and the Saskatchewan Hospital League. He continued to play recreational hockey until he was in his early 50s. He coached in Yorkton Minor sports for a number of years before turning to reffing. After retirement he took up 5 pin bowling switching to Wii sports in the last 8 years, winning the Seniors Games Trophy in Bowling in Saskatoon. In his later years Clinton enjoyed taking trips to visit children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He had some of his best times visiting his family and made it known to all how proud he was of his sons.

Card of Thanks

KYBA - In loving memory of Valerie Greenstein Kyba, who passed away on February 27, 1997.

We’re sending a dove to Heaven, with a parcel on its wings.

Be careful when you open it its full of beautiful things.

Inside are a million kisses, wrapped up in a million hugs, to say how much we miss you and to send you all our love.

We hold you close within our hearts and there you will remain, to walk with us through out our life until we meet again.

-Lovingly remembered by Dad and Mom, Corey, Luke, Roberta, Ross and family.

The family of Nellie Koroluk wish to express our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Groenewald and staff at Orkney House of The Yorkton and District Nursing Home for their excellent care during our mother’s stay and especially during her last week when they displayed genuine compassionate care. Thanks to everyone for their expressions of sympathy, phone calls, cards, gifts of food, flowers and donations to The Health Foundation. Sincere thanks to Fr. Rod Luciuk, Cantor Bob Rohr and Gloria Wasylyniuk for the beautiful church service.

Special thanks to Larry and staff of Bailey’s Funeral Home for their professional kindness, compassion and understanding at this very difficult time. We will be forever grateful. God Bless You All. Eternal Memory. Vichnaya Pamyat.

- Family of Nellie Koroluk.

REMANDA - In loving memory of Joe, husband, father and grandfather, who passed away February 28, 2005.

Those whem we love go out of sight, But never out of mind; They are cherished in our hearts Of those they left behind.

Loving and kind in all his ways, Upright and just to the end of his days; Sincere and true in heart and mind, Beautiful memories left behind.

Eternal Life through Jesus Christ John 3:16 -Lovingly remembered Remanda Family.

Announcements

PLAN OF THE WEEK

To my family, my friends, my nursing sisterhood, to all who have visited me at home and in the hospital, have phoned, sent cards, dropped off goodies, offered help or rides... basically everything and anything... thank you all so much.

Thank you also to Dr. Wanis and Dr. Kobi, and all 3rd South staff, for your excellent care and attention. I can now cross “take a trip and never leave the farm” off my to-do list. I did thoroughly enjoy the old vs. new nursing chit-chats, but so ready to be my normal self again. And thank you also to Home Care for your contribution! I think we are pretty close to being done! Thank you too to those piano players who filled in for me at church and at the Care Home.

Somehow I don’t think I have to worry about losing my job!!! Small town Saskatchewan, specifically Saltcoats, is still the best place to be. I sincerely hope my “vacationing” is over!!! Thanks again.

-Ruth Datema

Tanto Cuore can be divisive

Wednesday, February 27, 2019 | www.YorktonThisWeek.com | Yorkton This Week

Tanto Cuore originally launched in 2009, and the deck builder has seen a number of additions since then, as well as making a move from Japan where it debuted to the English market.

The game relies heavily on the idea of Japanese-style manga or anime artwork, which out of the box will have players loving it, or turning their noses up at it. It is a style which tends to illicit fairly strong feelings one way or the other.

In general terms I’d say our group was somewhat surprisingly in the middle of the spectrum.

We tend to have fairly strong opinions on many game elements, but the art was not one of them.

Now I should add here that was played Tanto Cuore: Winter Romance which is a sequel to Tanto Cuore for two to four players.

Like many game

expansions Winter Romance can be played alone or with Tanto Cuore, Expanding the House, Romantic Vacation, Oktoberfest, or a mixture of them.

Now a bit about the theme of this one.

“Even in the cold of winter, burning love can bloom. As a master of the house, you will employ maids – and the newly-introduced butlers – building up your mansion (deck) as they serve you,” notes the rule set.

“When the game ends, the player who has the most victory points (YP) from the cards in their house is the “Ultimate Master” and the winner of the game.

“Also, this time your maids and butlers can mingle with those of other players and form couples that earn you more VP. For the purposes of this game, we will refer to maids and but-

lers as ‘maids’, although any reference to a maid, in this game or the previous sets, can be played or thought of as a reference to a butler as well.

“Get started on your own mansion full of maids and butlers.”

There is definite irony here that two gamers in their 50s were playing Winter Romance, and generally enjoying it.

The theme among deck builders, and there are literally dozens, is rather unique, which is a plus, and the art sets it apart from most as well.

There are however a few shortcomings.

The goal is to create couples, but once a couple are matched your opponents have the ability to break them up to

The card is a ‘three-gold value money card’. A quick house rule patch is to allow any combo of cards with a three gold value to be used to fend off a break-up card.
