The location outside of Runnymede where CN crews discovered the 11 deceased dogs.
Dead dogs found outside Runnymede By Devin Wilger Staff Writer CN Rail crews came upon a disturbing site on Mar. 18. At the side of a bridge outside of Runnymede, they discovered 11 dead dogs, discarded at the side of the tracks. Rail supervisor Alex Husak was one of the people who discovered the dogs. Doing a track inspection, they saw something on the side of
the tracks. When they got closer, they saw what it was. “We just looked at each other in disgust, and both said at the same time, ‘dogs.’” Husak had recently had to put down two dogs, one due to illness and the other due to an accident, and he couldn’t imagine what could have happened. “Everybody is disturbed around here working for the railway,
“We just looked at each other in disgust, and both said at the same time, ‘dogs.’” — Rail supervisor Alex Husak driving by and having to see this.” The question in his mind, how did the dogs get there? The problem began on the Cote First Nation.
Darlene Bryant, Director of Health for the Cote First Nation, said that they have an issue with stray dogs on the reserve, stemming from people abandoning their ani-
mals in the area. “It’s not, per se, our dogs. The Cote First Nation has been a dumping ground for unwanted dogs for a long time... It’s not uncommon to see a dog there that’s new, and nobody knows where it came from.” The problem with stray dogs on the First Nation had become a health problem, as they ran the risk of harming young kids, said Bryant. “Our children couldn’t
even walk to the youth centre without the dogs attacking them or scaring them. The potential to have a child mauled was high, so we had to take matters into our own hands and try to eliminate some of the dogs.” They hired a contractor who was supposed to humanely and properly dispose of the dogs. The contractor disposed of the dogs first at a location in Cote near a lagoon. He

“I think it’s most pertinent for Yorkton business people is to hear from successful Yorkton people, because what works here, works here.” — Mike Stackhouse, President of the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce Commerce, thought that the inaugural event achieved the goal the Chamber had, which
was to get local expertise on display. “The things that work in Yorkton might not apply to

ple is to hear from successful Yorkton people, because what works here, works here, it might not work elsewhere.” Stackhouse in particular was impressed by Evan Taypotat, Chief of Kahkewistahaw First Nation, who discussed the challenges they face with economic development and education. “He was extremely entertaining, extremely informative and very eye opening... I found it to be really refreshing to hear him speak frankly, in a tone that took on some accountability for himself and his people, but at the same time making note that there’s more to it

was asked to dispose of the dogs properly, Bryant said, instead of leaving them by the lagoon in Cote. “He said he was going to dispose of them. I had no idea he was taking them that way and disposing of them there.” The contractor will not be used again by Cote, and Bryant said that the incident has caused them to revisit how they handle the stray dogs on the reserve. They are planning to work to partner with an animal welfare organization such as the SPCA to deal with the stray dogs and hopefully find homes for the majority. They hope to learn from the incident and make positive changes. “This matter has opened up our eyes to what can happen.” The First Nation will handle the proper disposal of the dogs, and Bryant expected it to be complete by Wednesday, April 3. According to the Kamsack RCMP no charges will be laid in the incident.

information sessions involved financial planning. Laurie Renton from LR Futures spoke to the room about financial planning and what they can do to save money. The presentations were focused on issues that seniors would encounter when saving money. She focused on issues like social security clawbacks, and how to avoid
“So many people, if they’re going to be clawed back, they’re almost better off to have their money deferred, so they don’t get clawed back.” Seniors also face issues with health, and Renton emphasized the importance of things like insurance, because she
notes that wealth means nothing if you don’t have the health to enjoy it. Another issue touched on was succession planning. She encouraged people to give back to the community, because they could support things that are “near and dear to their heart” while also using the tax deduction and still giving their heirs a decent inheri-
tance. “It creates a decent tax break and the heirs get most of the money anyway, and it leaves a legacy. That’s important to me.” Renton knows that for a lot of people, money causes a lot of stress, and she understands that people go for safer investment options because
they are more reassuring. She wants to let people know those are options as well. “You still need your money to grow for you, so you just look at different alternatives.” The final session will be Apr. 11 will be a session on home care at 2:00. All sessions are open to the public and free to attend.

While they do not know the schedule yet, Stackhouse believes there will be more Business Summits in the future.

WWE legend Psicosis headlines CWE in Yorkton fight By Cory Carlick Staff Writer Those that remember growing up with classic WWF, WWE and WCW wrestling on TV -Wrestlemania I, II, II and IV come to mind -- could relive some classic style wrestling from the ‘glory days’ thanks to the CWE. “Well, tonight we’re in Yorkton as part of CWE’s
10th anniversary tour,” said organizer and headliner Danny Warren. “We’re doing 38 events in 38 days across Canada spanning Vancouver through Toronto, and Yorkton as we say is our home away from home. It’s been an integral part of getting CWE to 10 years. Yorkton’s been one of the pillars!” Psicosis of WCW/
ECW/WWE fame was just one of the headliners at Sunday’s fight in Yorkton. Kevin O’Doyle vs. WCW/ ECW/WWE Lucha Libre Legend Psicosis.

Politics You’ve likely read this in this space before, but it sure bears repeating right now: As a commodity trading province like ours is often at the mercy of world politics. It’s easy to get caught up in local, provincial or even national politics, thinking that it’s the only thing that’s important. But China’s sanction against Western Canadian canola now serves as prime example of how we need to understand how the world stage can directly and severely impact us right down on the farm in Saskatchewan. But we need to learn something else if we are to effectively handle this event: We need to understand political differences have to be put aside in order to develop the most reasoned and effective strategy to deal with issues. More local bickering isn’t helpful. After restricting the purchase of canola from Canada’s largest grain company, Richardson International, China moved last week to ban Canadian exports from all Canadian exporters, according to the Canadian Canola Council of Canada. China cited the presence of “hazardous pests” in its decision to stop purchasing from Richardson. No tests confirmed the presence of any pests, fuelling long-held suspicions that this about something very different. “We have been seeing this develop over a period of time as opposed to the decision that was made earlier in China to impose a restriction on one company,” Jim Everson, the Canadian Council’s president, told the Western Producer. Many believe that this is directly related to the detention of Huawei chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou who was detained in Vancouver in January at the request of the United States. Currently, China buys 40 per cent of Canada’s canola seed and oil and meal exports — a massive $3.6 billion in 2018 the Western Canadian economy. However, an important question remains: Just what it is the best way to address it? Unhelpful would be to localize this international political fight by making it all Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the other failings of his federal Liberal government. So far, that’s exactly what the Saskatchewan Party has avoided doing. “There’s going to be a point where the prime minister is going to need to be directly engaged,” said Trade and Export Development Jeremy Harrison told reporters last week. “Right now, we’re going to be working with the national government to try and find a resolution because this is such an important economic issue for our province.” For a dyed-in-the-wool partisan like Harrison, a bipartisan, multi-government-level co-operative approach isn’t easy. Nor is working closely with federal Trudeau government appealing to a lot of Western Canadian farmers want to do. It may seem, easier to fall into line with federal Conservative leader Andrew Scheer and just add the China canola crisis to Trudeau’s ever-growing list of failings. But even if the canola mess could be strictly blamed on Trudeau — which, in this case, it really can’t — this would be an unproductive approach. Because of this, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe also recognized the need to sheath his sword last week and have what seemed to be a productive strategic telephone conversation with the Prime Minister on the matter. “I have every reason to believe he is taking this seriously,” Moe said of Trudeau. Like Harrison and Everson, Moe agreed the emphasis right now has to be on highlevel nation-to-nation talks and demonstrated research science to debunk Chinese allegations about Canadian canola safety. As Harrison put it: “We’re going to be supportive of efforts they make, but we think that they do need to be engaged at the diplomatic and political level on this, and continuing to engage at the scientific level as well,” he said. Really, it’s what we should do if we are serious about resolving this mess. Murray Mandryk has been covering provincial politics for over 22 years.

Carbon tax and what it may mean
S
ome will want to hope it was merely an April Fool’s joke, but the federal carbon tax which came into effect in Saskatchewan April 1, is most certainly real. If one were to buy into the vitriol of social media it is the worst thing to happen to this country – well apparently ever. Of course we tend to forget income tax was initiated in its earliest form way back in 1917 – introduced as the Income War Tax Act of 1917. It was generally seen at the time as a temporary measure to fund Canada’s efforts in the First World War, the definition of temporary apparently having a decidedly different meaning back then than it does today. If there is one thing governments of all stripes are good at it is creating taxes. It was a Conservative government led by then Prime Minister Robert Borden that gave us income tax, and Goods and Services Tax (GST) was introduced in Canada on January 1, 1991, by then-Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and his finance minister Michael Wilson. Now the Justin Trudeau led Liberals have brought us the carbon tax. Proponents will suggest the tax has been brought in for the noblest of reasons, as a way to ‘encourage’ businesses to do a better job of controlling greenhouse gas emissions in order to help protect the environment from climate change moving forward. The idea is that business will not go down that road without a push, which the tax is sup-
posed to provide. The opponents of the carbon tax, and that includes our provincial government who have railed loud and long about the tax, see it as ill-timed, likely to be ineffective, bad for business and simply a tax grab. Of course the provincial government’s blustering might also be a good way to deflect attention from their own short comings in running our province – the heavy-handed elimination of the grants-in-lieu money to municipalities an example – but that is a whole different discussion. The opposition is one of those usual mixtures of rhetoric and true concern. Certainly, the overall economy is in a slowdown, in part because everyone is telling us it’s happening, and partly because of international realities in trade. That things are sluggish, the carbon tax will be a further drag. In that sense the carbon tax may be ill-timed and bad for business, at least until the system stabilizes. The GST was not popular in many quarters, but the economy adapted. Of course ask anyone when is a good time for a new tax and the answer will be never. As for a tax grab, that is of course the key question – what will the federal government do with the money? Can they use it in an effective way to elicit meaningful change in greenhouse gas emissions? Failure on that front will most certainly doom the carbon tax to be a blight on our country. Done correctly, perhaps our grandchildren will read a history book and say thanks.

City awards 2019 paving contract By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The 2019 Asphalt Paving Program contract was awarded by Yorkton Council March 25. “In 2018, the Broadway Street Paving Project was tendered as a two-year project to create a larger scope of work in an attempt to appeal to a larger group of potential contractors and to better promote competitive bidding,” explained Director of Public Works Trent Mandzuk, with the City. A similar practice was used for the 2019 Asphalt
Paving Program tender. The amount of paving for this tender is larger than historical overlay paving programs. “The amount of paving for this tender is larger than historical overlay paving programs,” added Mandzuk. Open tenders were placed on SaskTenders and City web page. Two applicants submitted tender packages. The lowest tender and the one accepted by Council was from Fedorowich Construction Ltd. at $1,024,070, taxes excluded. “Unit pricing for the
History Corner
majority of bid items was extremely tight. The price difference between the two contractors on the largest bid item was less than one per cent,” said Mandzuk. The unit price for this item is also only 2.8 per cent higher than pricing received for the 2018 Broadway Paving project. To award the full program required Council to pre-approve the 2020 Public Works, Surfaced Streets – Contracted Services line for $560,000 – (same amount budgeted for 2019) towards the contract.
Some help with spring cleaning Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Local residents will again have an opportunity to dispose of certain accumulated winter garbage free of charge. “It has been customary for the City of Yorkton, with the recommendation from the Environmental Committee, to hold an annual Spring Yard Waste Clean-Up Week. In order to encourage City residents and School Divisions to clean up their yards and their school grounds, Council has in previous years waived the landfill entrance fees during this week for disposal of winter debris. Winter debris is identified as grass, leaves, broken tree branches, grass mixed with garbage and debris that has collected and accumulated on properties during the winter months,” explained JeanAnne Teliske, Landfill Manager at the regular meeting of Yorkton Council Monday. The program does have limitations though. “This program will not cover tree pruning, disposal of entire cut trees, construction, demolition or household materials such as furniture, lumber, carpet, beds or mattresses. These materials are accepted at the landfill but residents will be required to pay the appropriate entrance fees,” said Teliske. The waiver of landfill fees for winter debris is available to Yorkton residents and schools that haul in their winter debris material by way of car, van, half ton Truck, SUV, or utility trailer. In 2018, 145 residents participated in the program compared to 91 in 2017 and 61 in 2016.
Spring Yard Waste Clean-Up Week Eligibility Criteria is as follows: • Drivers must present to the landfill scale attendant, a valid driver’s licence with a Yorkton civic address (no post office box numbers will be allowed under the program). • School division loads with identifiable vehicles and staff hauling any acceptable material. • Cars, vans, half ton trucks, sport utility vehicles, and utility trailers are eligible. • Material being disposed of must meet the “winter debris” criteria. “The landfill scale attendant will evaluate the load, the type of vehicle and determine if the load is acceptable under the Spring Yard Waste Clean-Up Week criteria and if so, waive the landfill entrance fees,” said Teliske. “Any loads not qualifying under the program, will be accepted with the appropriate charges applied.” The program will run from May 13 to 18, 2019 during regular landfill hours Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 7:00 pm and Saturday, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. This year will see something new implemented as well. “This year during Spring Yard Waste CleanUp Week, Environmental Services will also be partnering with Community Development, Parks & Recreation to deliver a City Wide Spring CleanUp event which will focus on cleaning up parks and ditches throughout the City,” said Teliske. “We will be encouraging residents and businesses to register for this event and participate
to help do their part in beautifying and building pride in our community.” Registration can be done by calling the Environmental Services Department at 306-8282470 or by registering online at www.eventbrite.ca Council was unanimous is supporting the program.
The beautiful Balmoral Hotel Harry Bronfman had enlarged the hotel in 1912 to twice the size of the original. As we can see from this photo, on the façade, he had painted his name beside the hotel name in large bold letters showing that he was proud of it and obviously was planning a permanent stay. Prohibition in Saskatchewan in 1915 caused hotel owners to seek other ways to increase their income. Harry built the City Garage on Broadway just across the lane from the hotel, and also by 1918 he had erected buildings on both sides of Third Avenue South. He had torn down the Royal Hotel on the corner of Second Avenue South and Livingstone with intentions to build a more elaborate building. He was the owner of the Canada Pure Drug Company situated next to the hotel, furnishing legal liquor to Drug Stores, and outside the province and obviously he had done very well financially. When it comes to how he conducted the illegal trade, one can consider the idea that tunnels existed, but also the fact that Harry had a variety of properties all in the same vicinity and therefore he had a lot of choices to hide packaged booze for the illegal markets inside the province. He also had his own vehicles at his disposal and the CPR freight shed was just across
the street. So, did he need tunnels to hide booze? If we could uncover evidence of their existence, Yorkton would really come into the limelight. However, in the absence of hard evidence of tunnels, Yorkton has enough of a true story about Harry Bronfman, and his brother Sam joining him here and their entrance into the liquor market. Then, there is the story of their establishing warehouses along the international borders of Montana and North Dakota. Added to it, the woodland region around Yorkton also has colourful Prohibition true stories and folklore. Establishing an Interpretive Centre to portray our local, regional and provincial story could be considered.

SIGN holds Vital Community Conversation By Cory Carlick Staff Writer Big Brothers Big Sisters of Yorkton and Area was the recipient of a South Saskatchewan Foundation Grant, used to host Monday morning’s Vital Community Conversation at SIGN. A number of different issues — positive and negative — came up, in an effort to better the community. Some of the issues raised were the need for a non-demominational place for youth to hang out. “Where do the kids hang out? The mall,” said Don Stein. “If that’s the case,” smiled Stein, “Well...we
need a better mall.” A few other suggestions held echoes of 1977. “How about an indoor roller skate rink?” Other concerns of import were those of inclusiveness — where all cultures could be together. First Nations, new Canadians, multigenerational Canadians alike. Other improvements suggested was further developing the relationship between First Nation and RCMP in Yorkton and surrounding areas. Irma Van De Bon Nicol of Big Brothers Big Sisters served as moderator for the event. Light refreshments were served.

Infrastructure Plans for 2019 City infrastructure projects planned for 2019 include over $15 million in expenditures, covering Broadway St. East resurfacing, York Road East improvements, storm water and sewer line replacement, Darlington Street overpass rehabilitation and Whitesand Drive drainage improvements. This week the Province and City Council announced $7.4 Million in Federal and Provincial funding for two critical storm water projects and a sanitary sewer line to be completed in the City this year. These include upgrades to the City’s North Storm Water Channel and replacing culverts that discharge approximately 90 percent of the City’s storm water from York Road to Yorkton Creek. Total cost of these improvements is approximately $11 Million and the City will provide the remaining one third of the funding. Included in these infrastructure improvements is replacement of the failing culverts under the Highway 9 north roadway with a bridge, and replacing a 100 year old sanitary sewer line from York Road to the Sewage Treatment plant. Yorkton’s north storm channel is the City’s primary outlet for 90% of the City’s storm water, flowing from the Victoria Avenue Ditch and Dracup Avenue at York Road to Yorkton Creek. Condition assessments of the culverts and embankment indicate that the crossing is in critical need of replacement and that with each additional storm event, the condition of the crossing will only worsen to a point which the roadway embankment could be completely washed out. Since 2010, major capital improvements totaling over $15 Million have been made to Yorkton’s storm water system. This includes new, larger storm water infrastructure along Dracup Avenue, which is one of the main collection points for storm water in the City. Other storm water improvements include three large retention ponds, one on Brodie Avenue north of the Water Tower, and two along Dracup Avenue. These retention ponds are designed to contain excess storm water during heavy rain events and release it back into the system once flows return to normal levels. As a result of these and other improvements, the volume of runoff being conveyed through the north drainage ditch requires improvements. The City’s 10 year capital plan calls for additional improvements throughout the City. The map below indicates which areas of the City would face major flooding should the culverts at Highway 9 fail.
From April 1 to August 31 every year, it is illegal to prune elm trees in Saskatchewan. The ban coincides with the time of year when the elm bark beetles that spread Dutch elm disease (DED) are most active. Fresh cuts from pruning can attract the tiny insects, increasing the chance of an infection. In addition to observing the ban, there are things you can do to help protect your community’s elm trees. Prune your elms before or after the ban period to keep them healthy and better able to resist all types of disease, including DED. Removing dead and dying elm wood means fewer places for beetles to breed, which reduces the risk of an infection. Properly dispose of DED-infected elms promptly throughout the year, including during the ban period. If you see an elm showing signs of DED – wilting, yellowing leaves on one or several branches near the top of the
tree, usually beginning in late June – report it to your local municipality. Infected wood spreads DED. Therefore, it is illegal to use, transport, store or sell elm firewood. Regulations also restrict the use, transport, storage and sale of elm logs. Dispose of elm wood promptly and properly; check with your local municipality for designated disposal methods and locations. If you hire a professional to prune your trees, make sure they are qualified. In Saskatchewan, commercial pruners of elm trees must complete a recognized training program or be under the supervision of someone who has the necessary training. Improper pruning can spread DED and other diseases. For more information, contact your local municipality or the Ministry of Environment at 1-800-567-4224 or visit www.saskatchewan.ca/forestry.

Council Meeting Monday, April 15, 2019 at 5:00 p.m. Public Notice
BYLAW FAST FACTS Owners Must Control Their Dogs
Did you know? The Animal Control Bylaw No. 5/2018 requires dog owners to have their dog on a leash when the dog is off the owners premises, at any location within City limits. This enables the owner to be in immediate, continuous and effective control of the dog. Dog owners must also ensure that their dogs are kept fenced in or tied up in their yards to protect people who walk by their homes so they do not wander out of yards and become at large. Why? In the interest of public safety, dog owners have a responsibility to have their dogs on a leash when walking them or to have their dogs fenced in or tied up when at home. Residents should be free and comfortable to enjoy the outdoor community, without fear of being approached by a dog that is at large or from an attack by a dog that is at large. There have been a number or incidents reported in 2019 where dogs are rushing at people and their pets when they are merely out for a leisurely walk or walking to school. Please be respectful of others and be responsible dog owners by keeping dogs on leashes when in public areas and fenced in or tied up when dogs are at home. Thank you for cooperation.

Feedback and advice to be provided The Government of Saskatchewan is forming a new Income Assistance Advisory Group to help Social Services improve income assistance programs and services. This new group will expand on the work of the Program Implementation Advisory Team (PIAT) after they wind down this spring. PIAT was instrumental in developing and implementing the Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) program. Now that the SAID program is fully operational, PIAT’s mandate has come to
an end and their terms expire this May. “PIAT provided a voice for the disability community during the development and implementation of the Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability program,” Social Services Minister Paul Merriman said. “I want to thank all PIAT members, past and present, for their guidance and support over the past decade, and congratulate them on a truly historic achievement for people with disabilities in Saskatchewan. “The new advisory
group, made up of citizens with interest and experience in income assistance, will provide valuable perspectives on our programs and services, as well as practical advice on how we can help people achieve a better quality of life.” The advisory group will be asked for their advice and feedback on the development of income assistance policies, programs and services that will best meet the needs of vulnerable Saskatchewan people. Their mandate will include the new
Saskatchewan Income Support (SIS) program announced last week. Topics the group will be asked to discuss could include: • how our programs and services can be made more client friendly; • positive ways to help clients become self-reliant to the best of their ability; • how to build on the good work of PIAT to ensure that people with disabilities continue to receive good quality services and supports; and • better alignment of ministry and community
services for our clients and beneficiaries. Social Services invites representatives from the disability community, as well as all other interested stakeholders, organizations, community members and clients to apply to participate in the advisory group. To apply, please send a letter of interest, including your experience and expertise specific to income assistance, to incomeassist@ gov.sk.ca or Program and Service Design, Income Assistance, Ministry of Social Services, 8th
floor 1920 Broad Street, Regina, Saskatchewan, S4P 3V6. Applications will be accepted until April 12, 2019. The new Advisory Group will be appointed in Spring 2019.

Challenges persist for canola exports The Canola Council of Canada (CCC) is providing an update on market access challenges affecting all canola seed exports to China. While there was some initial optimism that Chinese concerns with canola trade could be resolved quickly, technical discussions to date have not indicated an immediate resolution is possible. Canola seed exporters report that Chinese importers are unwilling to purchase
Canadian canola seed at this time. “We’re disappointed that differing viewpoints cannot be resolved quickly,” says Jim Everson, president of the CCC. “Under the circumstances, Canadian canola seed exporters who normally ship to China have no alternative but to supply customers in other countries who value high quality Canadian canola.” China has been a major market for Canadian
canola, accounting for approximately 40% of all canola seed, oil and meal exports. Canola seed exports to China were worth $2.7 billion in 2018. Demand has been very strong until recent disruptions. “Canadian ministers and government officials have responded quickly to Chinese concerns, however, technical discussions are unlikely to lead to an immediate resolution,” says Everson. “We urge the
Commodities as political tool Trade, especially when it comes to agricultural commodities, generally works well when left to the pressures of supply and demand. There are of course exceptions, those instances when people in a particular country go to bed hungry because the country simply cannot afford to buy food from a foreign country, but those instances are an issue of world wealth distribution, something no one seems willing to discuss. That of course makes some sense in as much as the wealthy have no reason to change the system and the hungry are more focused on finding their next meal rather than changing the system. But, in general, supply and demand economics works well for agriculture. U n f o r t u n a t e l y, trade has become the favoured way by countries to impose their will upon other countries. Canadian farmers are seeing that first hand in terms of canola trade with China. China has blocked imports of Canadian canola by both Richardson International and Viterra after Canada detained a Huawei executive under an extradition treaty with the United States.
Agriculture THIS WEEK
Calvin Daniels The clearly political move by China to put pressure on the Canadian government by blocking trade in a key commodity certainly has many producers wondering about spring planting decisions, and the issue has become a political football here in Canada as well with a federal election this fall. In terms of impact it was a well-placed volley by the Chinese, coming ahead of seeding, and in the midst of our federal parties gearing up for an election. That is of course why trade has been used by various governments for years. We are of course not pleased with what China is doing, but non-tariff barriers to trade are hardly a new tool discovered by the Chinese. The United States has worked diligently to keep the economy of Cuba stunted by banning American companies trading with the island nation, and let’s not forget the efforts the Canadian beef industry undertook as the
U.S. looked to impose Country Of Origin Labelling (COOL). Putting barriers to trade in place impact sales, which in turn has commodity organizations and key company officials putting pressure on government to address the situation. At the same time primary producers and frontline workers feel the pressure as well. The situation with China at present as stated is not unique, but that does not make it any less acceptable. Unfortunately, how to address such disputes in an expedient fashion which would normalize trade is not easily achieved. Such situations have a tendency to worsen as governments dig in to present a public image of strength against what is essentially extortion by another country. How this situation plays out will be something Canadian farmers will be watching closely as seeding draws ever closer for 2019. Calvin Daniels is Editor with Yorkton This Week.
Government of Canada to continue to intensify efforts to resolve the situation.” The Canadian canola industry makes every effort to meet the requirements of customers and their governments around the world. From seed developers, growers, processors and exporters, all segments of the value chain coordinate to ensure consistent
and high quality canola. “Canadian canola is of the highest quality because of our worldclass quality assurance systems,” says Everson. “We have a long-standing history of delivering on quality and reliability. We will continue to provide our customers with high quality canola and promote stable trade based on science.” The Canola Council
of Canada is a full value chain organization representing canola growers, processors, life science companies and exporters. Keep it Coming 2025 is the strategic plan to ensure the canola industry’s continued growth, demand, stability and success – achieving 52 bushels per acre to meet global market demand of 26 million metric tonnes by the year 2025.

The consumer advantage to small towns
In his presentation at the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce’s first Business Summit, Evan Ortynsky said something interesting. The only way for a business to survive in a community like Yorkton is to have repeat customers. Out of everything said at the summit, that’s the one I’ve been contemplating in the hours and days after it wrapped. It’s not because he’s right – and he is right – but because it demonstrates a dynamic that is unique to a small town. It’s impossible to avoid building a relationship between the business itself and customers. It is a bit easier to drop over $20,000 on a car – in the case of Ortynsky – or a
different big ticket item when you actually like the person selling it to you. In a small town – and Yorkton remains a small town – any business will quickly generate a reputation. This advantage is probably more for the consumer than the business itself. Because you find that you quickly get a reputation, whether fair or not, based on what you’re doing for people. And as a result it becomes extremely important for a small town business to make people happy in a way that it might not be nearly as important for a business from a larger city. The end result is that Yorkton is probably the best place in the prov-
DEVIN WILGER
Thinking I do with words... ince for browsing a car dealership’s inventory. In larger centers, there’s not as much incentive to be nice to the couple who browses just because her car is having some other irritating issue yet again, or nice to the guy who is trying to convince his mother to pick up a vehicle with automatic emergency braking but isn’t having much luck. Sure, I
might not be buying today, but someone is, and I probably know them. It’s the kiss of death in a small community when someone says “never go there, they were so rude to me.” I freely admit that I’m extremely irritating when I shop for a car, but I have bought three of the things since moving here (once unexpectedly) so it
does pay off for someone eventually. If anything, larger centers could stand to learn the lesson that businesses in a smaller town have to learn. That is, you make more money if you are good to people. It’s not a short term gain. Looking at an individual sale, getting the most that you can out of a single customer does give you a quick turnaround. In the case of a car, it’s going to be years until they want to replace the one they just bought. But if you’re looking to be around in a long time, it’s a huge advantage. There are plenty of people here who do business with a small number of dealers. I know families who all buy the same
brand time after time, and the fact that they like the dealer they buy from is a big part of that decision. I generally don’t have brand loyalty, but I’ve bought from the same place twice and that I generally like them does make the car look better. “We like shopping at this place because they’ve always been good to us” is a pretty big factor in a lot of car buying decisions around here, and could be the deciding factor between two cars someone likes. This also applies to anything else you buy. As a consumer, it’s probably the biggest advantage to shopping in Yorkton, you generally get treated well, because there’s a lot on the line if you don’t.
Artisan Fair at North 40 Fabrics huge success By Cory Carlick Staff Writer The Artisan Fair was held this Saturday at North 40 Fabrics from 12-3, where local artists could show off and market some of their wares. “One of our mottos is, ‘It’s so much more than a fabric store’. So, we do consignment, where local home based business can come and they can sell their stuff here,” said Shulyre Dilworth of Featuring Shue, whose business makes personalized bracelets and other items. “So, we had this idea that we could have an Artisan Fair, so that those of us with at-home based businesses can come and get our name out here and
sell some of our products. It’s a good way for us to come together.” Megan Lenderbeck and Erica Cherney, of Mystic Sage Sisters, had a wide variety of sage bundles and locally sourced beeswax wraps, while Chickadee Woodworks, run by Audrey Cobb, makes handmade, wooden signs for personal use as well as businesses.

Kalmakoff remembers his roots By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer A musician with ties to Canora has released a new recording. Kalmakoff who was born in Canora and lived there with his family until age 24, has several recordings to his name, the latest ‘Come to Me’. For Kalmakoff, who found his way to British Columbia after leaving Canora still looks back on his time in his hometown as the start of his musical development. “My first public appearance was in Canora at around age 16 at a spring event the town would hold at the time on the main street called, June Days,” he recalled. “I heard that the event was hosting a talent show and I signed up to enter. I was very shy as a teenager but felt if I wanted to have the career I dreamed about, I had to start somewhere. I remember being extremely nervous, but the town embraced my performance and encouraged me to continue.” As nervous as Kalmakoff may have been he kept at it. “From there, I started performing locally at different functions and then with a few written requests from other people, I was asked to perform on the Yorkton Television show – Profile – that half-hour show use to have quite a following in the area,” he said. “After that I was on my way and started receiving fan mail and local notoriety in Saskatchewan. That took a bit of getting used to.” The next step was to hit the recording studio. “I recorded my first album around the age, 19, in a small studio that was located in Rosetown, SK.,” said Kalmakoff. “The total experience was new to me. The album was titled ‘To You,
From Me’. It featured some of my original songs, plus cover tunes. I did a very small pressing of that album so it has become a bit of a collector’s item. Over the years I have seen it on e-bay for as high as $99.00, hard to believe.” Small run, or not, the now rare debut album set Kalmakoff on a career path in music. “That album helped me to receive radio airplay on stations across Canada,” he said. “I remember the first station I walked into was CJGX Radio, Yorkton and spoke with the Music Director at the time. He gave me the confidence to start sending out my album to other stations and my first song ever played on the radio was through CJGX Radio. “The album caught the attention of the national CBC show, Tommy Hunter, and I was asked to perform on the show. How sweet was that, at age 19 and I was meeting and performing on the same stage with guest performers and legends like Reba McEntire and Charley Pride.” It was at that time Kalmakoff began to focus greater attention of music. “During that time, I decided I wanted to start performing full concert shows, so I teamed up with a few musicians in the area recommended to me and started working on a two-hour concert show with four other musicians,” he said. “The band that I worked with at the time was called, Prairie Wind. The five of us had a blast, so much fun together and the musicians were so open to always trying new styles of music. “Our first show was in Kamsack at the high school auditorium. It was a bitterly cold winter day and I thought hardly anyone would show up, because of the weather. Just before we went on, I was told
that we had to delay the beginning of the show until they had everyone seated, the line-up for tickets was extremely long and by the time the curtain opened the auditorium was completely full. What a great start with so many concerts to follow after that.” So what sort of music does Kalmakoff focus on? “When I perform in concert now, I offer a variety of styleslight pop, easy listening, country, jazz, folk and gospel,” he said. “My new album could be considered adult contemporary. Come To Me, is a reflection of some of the styles of music I perform on stage.” As a writer, Kalmakoff said when the mood strikes he becomes productive. “When I get in my writing groove, I can write a lot of material, especially when I know I have a new project or deadline coming up,” he said. “Some songs come easy to me, in a couple hours I am done, while other songs need the right time and place for me to work on. “Sometimes it just starts with a couple lines or melody and grows from there, and I just need to be in the right time frame and place to complete the piece. I seem to write best first thing in the morning if I am driving in my car, and usually have to pull over to the side of the road to record the piece or write down the words for the song.” With the latest recording Kalmakoff said he sees new depth in his music. “The title track for the album, Come To Me, is probably one of the more complex songs that I have written and produced,” he said. “Yet the majority of the piece was written in less than an hour on a ferry ride from the Sunshine Coast to the recording studio in Vancouver.
“I would say that musically in every respect it is one of the most involved recording projects I have worked on. I took my time with this album and worked on the writing, recording and co-producing of the album over a two-year period. “My voice is the strongest that it has ever been so I also pushed myself in the studio. I really worked on getting out of my comfort zone as a writer and singer to create a different and very polished sound.” When it comes to his CDs, Kalmakoff said choosing favourite songs are never easy, and that includes his latest effort. “Every song, whether I wrote it or not was very carefully chosen by myself,” he said. “I wanted to be sure that I would enjoy performing every song that was recorded on stage, as well. I do really like all the songs on the album but two stand out for me and even after all the times I have heard them and worked through the recording process, I still get tears in my eyes when I listen to them. “The first one, Ever Since You Went Away, is the most personal song I have written. “In the cd cover, there is a special dedication to my Grandmother Kalmakoff and her family, which is my family. The best way for me to describe the song is, when you start losing generations of your family who have come before you, you start analyzing who you are as a person, the meaning and purpose of your life going forward and letting go of the past which is hard for all of us when we are part of the life chain through memories and thoughts handed down from generations. Listening to the song and lyrics, one would know that there is a definite connection to the prairies. “My other favorite song, I
did not write, but was one of the first songs I picked for the new album. It is titled, Up To The Mountain. “When I was in the studio recording my vocals, I knew that in order to make the song my own I had to make it soulful but also channel my Doukhobor roots, you can hear that in certain sections of the song. I put myself in a space while recording where I starting thinking back to some amazing voices and singing I’ve heard over the years from my culture and that helped me connect to the song.” Looking at his catalogue of work Kalmakoff likes his new effort a lot. “I am so incredibly proud of this new album,” he said. “It has a lush and sophisticated sound to it. “My co-producer and I worked hard on the musical arrangements for the orchestration and instruments. I worked with some of the best in the business here on the west coast. My co-producer on the project, Michael Creber, who is also my musical arranger, in concert has such amazing history in the business. I consider him a musical brother, I learn so much from him and we work well together. He is a Grammy nominated and Juno award winning artist and has the gold records on his wall to back up his talent. He has worked with artists such as k.d. lang, David Foster, Raffi and the Rankin Family. I also brought in Canadian singer, Shari Ulrich into the studio to work with. Our voices always blend so well.

Fairy Gardens next meeting topic The Yorkton and District Horticultural Society will be holding their next regular meeting on Wednesday, April 17 at 7:00 p.m. at SIGN on North Street in Yorkton. The topic will be “Fairy Gardens”. This is an interesting and creative gardening project for gardeners of all ages. It is very challenging to create a planter where everything is on a small scale. Come and find out more about it! Get some ideas at this meeting, and if you have a little sprout that would like to try gardening, they would love to try this project later in the spring. Remember, you don’t have to be a member of the group to come to the meetings. Everyone is welcome! Did you bookmark the U of S site on your computer? If so, check out the information about Hort Week, which happens May 4 – 12. The information online tells us that there are “daily, evening and weekend workshops throughout… with more than fifty different events from basic classes to specialty classes, maker workshops to classes for certification, with plenty of free tours and free classes in between.” So go to gardening@usask.ca to find out more! A kind and generous friend gave me a box of gardening books, and
DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
Gardener’s Notebook among them were some great old issues of The Prairie Garden. This informative and interesting digest is still in publication, but the issue that I was recently looking at is from 1965! It is wonderful to browse through those articles, and amazing to see how much information is still suitable for today’s gardeners. At this time of year when we are thinking about the gardening season ahead, one article in the 1965 issue caught my eye: it is called “Do’s and Don’ts in Homeground Landscaping” by Gunter A. Schoch, Landscape Assistant with the Metro Parks and Protection Division in Winnipeg. You and I know a yard is never really finished when it comes to landscaping, and this article has some great ideas for us. Make a cup of tea and sit down with me for a few minutes, and I’ll tell you about some of the landscaping ideas. We all probably have one
or two or more of these areas that could use some work. Here’s one: the author suggests that large, blank walls should have plantings. The article has two pictures, one of a house with a bare wall, the other with a grouping of shrubs alongside. It makes a dramatic difference! Another idea talks about planting large trees or shrubs in a small front lawn. Or rather, not doing so! We’ve chatted about this before, and if a front yard is say, 20 by 20 feet and we plant a tree that grows to thirty feet high, we just know it won’t end well. In a few years’ time problems will begin to happen. Proportion is important. Which leads to this suggestion: if shrubs are too high around a house, the house will look “dwarfed” and if the shrubs are too small, they won’t be seen. Once again, proportion. Also, we shouldn’t have identical plantings on either side of our door, but they should be in balance with each other. We’re also told that we can use shrubs not only to contour and beautify our yards, but they can also be used to disguise certain problem areas, like our “work” area of the yard where we keep the practical stuff we use all the time when we garden. Every yard has this kind of corner, but we can make it less unsightly and part of the scenery with clever planting. Old gardening books are a delight; this one might be 54 years old, but it’s still brimming with inspirational ideas for gardeners! Visit us at www.yorktonhort.ca and have a great week!

Seeking God? Just “det down” and look up Sometimes I can’t find God. He’s always there, but I’ve been churched so long, theologized so much, seminarred so often, sanitized, holyfied, studified and Sundayfied so thoroughly that the goal of a pure childlike faith feels like mere rhetoric. Mosquito spit in a dry sky. But every so often I’m reminded how to get it back. Lacey* (assumed name) was five at the time. I’d stopped by her house to pick something up. While standing in the hall I noticed a striking picture; a black and white sketch of a man in what seemed biblical garb, seated on a rock beside a rushing stream. Overhead, the spreading branches of a leafy tree bent low in an almost protective gesture. “Do you notice anything unusual about that picture?” Lacey’s mother asked. I looked more carefully. Man, stream, rock, tree. “No. What should I look for? Something hidden?” She nodded. “Jesus’ face is in the tree.” She offered to show me, but I wanted to find it on my own. I searched the print until my head ached. Studied the artist’s lines. Examined the shading for clues. Got closer. Backed up. Nothing. I opened my mouth to admit defeat when Lacey, standing shyly behind me, spoke up. “I dan dee

it dum down he-ah. I dink do dould det down.” (I adored her abundance of D’s.) I’m often hopeless at grasping the abstract; whether in matters of faith or substance, but I crouched beside her. Just to prove I was serious about trying. As I looked up at the picture, suddenly what had been invisible while standing upright came clearly into focus: the profile of Christ in the leafy overhanging branches, his gaze fixed lovingly on the figure seated below. “I see it! I see it!” I nearly shouted in excitement. I may have even bounced a bit. Lacey pointed her chin at the floor, drew a circle on the hardwood with her bare toe. “I dold do do det down,” she said. Over the years I’ve thought of Lacey’s advice often. It echoes Paul’s words to the conflicted, sometimes arrogant Corinthian church. “For God, in his wisdom, saw to it that He would never be found through human
brilliance.....” And Jesus’ words, “Except you become as a small child, you can’t enter Heaven…” Each time my mind, so full of right answers and correct theology, loses it grasp on peace, I know it’s time to ‘det down.’ Low. As low as a child is small, I can look up and see, fixed on me in love, the gaze of Christ. For me that includes revisiting the basics of life and faith. Finding satisfaction in simplicity. Disconnecting from things that unnecessarily set my heart and mind at odds. Nurturing straightforward relationships with others, especially children, seniors and pets. Rediscovering the joy of tactile, rather than ephemeral accomplishment. Getting outside daily. Praying more, not less. Reading God’s word more than others’ words about God’s word. Have you lost sight of Jesus’ face? Are you searching for God? He’s seeking you even more. Just... “det down.” But look up.

City Wide Registration Looking for something to do in Yorkton? There’s lots on offer for spring and summer. City Wide Registration happened on March 27 at the Gloria Hayden Community Centre, bringing together a wide range of community groups and
organizations together to meet people, describe what they have on offer and give a chance for people to sign up for classes, clubs, coming events and fundraisers.
Terriers down two against Stars By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Terriers fell to the Battlefords twice on the weekend. Friday the Terriers lost the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League semi-final opener 6-2, then dropped game two 1-0 Saturday. Terrier head coach Mat Hehr thinks his team deserved a better fate than losing two in Battlefords on the weekend. “I wish we could have got the split,” Hehr told Yorkton This Week Monday after dropping game one of their series with the Stars Friday 6-2 and losing 1-0 in overtime Saturday. Hehr said Friday the Terriers got off to the start they wanted. “I really thought we had a great first period,” he said, noting the Terriers led 1-0 through 20-minutes. “… We just couldn’t get that second goal.” But, in the second period the Terriers got into penalty trouble. “They got their chances and buried them,” said Hehr. Hehr said as the Stars scored in the second period the Terriers “didn’t stay focused,” worrying more about the officiating than getting back on
the scoresheet and the Stars rolled up the win. The Terriers got off to a good start in the opener tonight, (Friday), on the road as Cole Keenleyside scored the lone goal of the first period, a powerplay marker at 5:53. Yorkton’s one-goal lead would not last long in the second period as a goal by Elijah LoonStewardson tied the contest at 4:24. It was only 1:22 later that Dayton Heino scored to give the host Stars a 2-1 lead. Then it was Braydon Buziak who popped a goal to give the home team a 3-1 lead. Buziak’s goal came at 10:42. Things quickly got worse for the Terriers as the third period got under way. Loon-Stewardson was back for his second of the game, this one on the powerplay, only 1:28 into the frame. Then 38-seconds later Ryan Gil added a fifth goal for Battlefords, again a powerplay marker to extend the Stars lead to 5-1. Kishaun Gervais scored at 13:37 to make it a 5-2 lead, and give the Terriers some hope but that would be all the scoring Yorkton could muster is the series opener. The Stars however would add one more
The Yorkton Terriers celebrate a goal in Battlefords. to their total as Austin Shumanski potted the sixth goal for Battlefords with only 31 ticks left on the clock. Ryan Ouellette took the loss in the Yorkton net facing 43 shots, while Joel Grzybowski recorded the win for the Stars facing 31. In game two both teams stuck to hockey with only one powerplay apiece. “I thought the reffing was much better in game two. It was more playoffstyle reffing,” he said, adding “both teams were there to play hockey (Saturday).” The scoreless game through 60-minutes was certainly a nail biter, said Hehr. “It was a great game,” he said, adding the Terriers came close to winning it on multiple occasions.
“We hit three crossbars. We just couldn’t get an inch lower for the win.” Overall, Hehr said he thought the Terriers outplayed the Stars through regulation in game two, but admitted Battlefords came hard in overtime to get the 1-0 win. Game two started with a goalless first period. In the second period neither Terrier netminder Ryan Ouellette or Battlefords Joel Grzybowski would yield a goal, sending the teams to the third period still knotted 0-0. By the end of the third Ouellette had turned away all 31-shots he had faced in the contest, a performance matched by Grzybowski who stopped all 36 he had faced in the game. That set up suddendeath for the game.

It would take 11:37 of extra time before a rubber disk made it to the twine. The goal by Quintin Loon-Stewardson gave the home side a 1-0 win, and a two-games-to-none lead in the best-of-seven series. The losses leave Yorkton in a must-win situation as the series reverts to the Farrell Agencies Arena in the city for games three and four Tuesday and Wednesday. Hehr said he knows the Terriers will come out hard, fuelled by the home crowd that has grown as the playoffs have rolled along. He added the Stars had Flin Flon down three games to known and the Bombers came back to force a game seven in their quarter final battle,
so the Terriers know it can be done. “The pressure is always on the first seed,” he added, which is the Stars at this point. “… I expect us to come out hard, we’re playing for a lot.” Game three of the series was at the Farrell Agencies Arena last night, (Tuesday), but results were not available at press time. Game four is tonight, (Wednesday). Check www.yorktonthisweek.com for up-todate results. In the other semi-final Melfort won the series opener by a 6-2 score over visiting Estevan. In game two Melfort was again the winner, this time by a 3-1 score to takes a twogames-to-none lead in their best-of-seven series.

Baseball: the sound of spring The Major League Baseball season got into full swing Thursday. Yes, officially there were a couple of games played earlier in Tokyo, but action really started March 28, especially for a fan in Canada since that was the day the Toronto Blue Jays hit the field.
It was one of the darkest days in Canadian sports when the league let the Expos be moved south to settle in Washington – may the Nationals never win a World Series. That was in 2004, and the error has yet to be corrected. Rob Manfred, Commissioner of MLB has certainly publicly been supportive of Montreal getting a team, which is a positive. There is also a group in Montreal working toward a team and new stadium led by Stephen Bronfman, which is certainly a positive as well. Much of the talk has Tampa Bay, a team that even when they win, can’t attract fans, moving
While this will be basically a look at our Jays, I want to digress just a bit. The last two preseason games for Toronto were in Montreal, and that of course fuelled renewed discussion on the broadcast of the games, and among fans on social media, about the prospect of major league baseball returning to the Quebec city.
at present? The Jays battled Detroit hard in the opening series of the season, but we best not put too much into that performance as the Tiger line-up is thin, and the team is not expected to do much in the American League Central. The Jays are not going to do a lot in the AL East either. Boston and New York are the cream, leaving the Jays and Rays batting for what will be third and well back of the frontrunners. This is a season that is about two things for the Jays. On one hand they want Justin Smoak, Clay Buchholz and a couple of others to perform well enough through to June to have value to trade

Sports north. There is also the possibility of baseball expanding, which has to be preferred by many in the league just based on the influx of big money expansion fees. Of course Montreal is not the only city rumoured to be wanting a team, Austin, TX, Indianapolis, and Las Vegas are among others
who might be considered. If you crystal ball a bit more boldly, you have those pointing to Mexico City, Havana Cuba, and even Tokyo as future homes for MLB franchises. Still, Montreal is deserving, and I suspect would support a return well. But, what of the Jays, Canada’s lone MLB team
for assets come the MLB trade deadline. The rest of the season will focus on evaluating the first wave of young talent to see how it will fit into the major rebuild the Jays are undertaking. The players getting looks early this season include Lourdes Gurriel Jr., at second, Rowdy Tellez at first, and Danny Jansen at catcher, a group who will soon be joined by starter Ryan Borucki and highly touted third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The team overall will struggle to find 85 wins, so as a fan it is about hoping the young guys make the adjustment to the pros to offer homes for 2020 and beyond.

MADUCK - Angeline left her earthly life to be with our Lord Jesus Christ on March 25, 2019. She peacefully ended her struggle with COPD surrounded by her family and all the love they hold for her. Mom lived her life with a deep faith in God and a strong belief in praying the Rosary; It was fitting that she passed away on the Feast of Annunciation. Mom was born in Homefield, SK on November 27, 1931 to parents Anne (Mohyla) and Demetrius Fedyk. On June 24, 1956 she married John Maduck at St. Mary’s Church in Yorkton where they resided for 51 years. Together they raised 4 children in the most dedicated, loving manner showing us what love, faith in God and hard work can accomplish. Mom loved her work as a nurse’s aide where her gentle and compassionate nature touched many more people. She often said she would do that job without pay. In September 2018 Mom’s health declined with her diagnosis of COPD. This became a burden too heavy even for our resilient Mom. She spent the last 4 months of her life at St. Ann’s Home in Saskatoon where she was lovingly cared for by staff and residents alike. Angeline is survived by her four children, Alan (Diane); Arlene (David) Franko children Michael (Liz) and children Declan and Addison, Larissa, Daniel, Matthew, Amy; Wayne (Carol) and children Sarah, Thomas, Stephen, Gabrielle, Rachel, Murray (Ly) and son Max; Shirley (JP) Barker and children Marie, Jonathan, Joseph, Emily, Rachel and Hannah. Also left to mourn are her brothers Steve Fedyk, Anton (Vicky) Fedyk, Louis (Marge) Fedyk and sister-in-law Olga Fedyk as well as numerous sisters and brothers in law from the Maduck side as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Angeline is predeceased by her parents, husband John, sister Mary (Joe) Smuk, brothers Mike (Marjorie) Fedyk, John Fedyk, Joe (Anne) Fedyk, Fred (Martha) Fedyk, Metro Fedyk and sister-in-law Betty Fedyk. Mom was the most loving Mom and Baba anyone could wish for; She has left a desire in all of us to be kind and forgiving. A Prayer Service was held on Friday, March 29, 2019 at St. Volodymyr Villa Chapel in Saskatoon with Rt. Rev. Vladimir Mudri officiating. The responses were led by Henry Spilchuk, Andrea Swan and choir members. The Funeral Liturgy was held on Saturday, March 30, 2019 at St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Yorkton with Rev. Father Ray Lukie, C.Ss.R. as the Celebrant. The responses were led by Bernadette Gabora, Victor Puchala and Joanna Kyba. The cross bearer was Michael Franko and the epistle readers were Sarah Maduck and Marie Barker. The interment followed in the Yorkton City Cemetery Daniel Franko, Matthew Franko, Thomas Maduck, Stephen Maduck, Jonathan Barker and Joseph Barker serving as the casket bearers. Memorials in memory of Angeline may be made to St. Mary’s Church, 155 Catherine Street, Yorkton, SK S3N 0B9. Condolences can be sent to the family at www.baileysfuneralhome.com.

Four years have passed since we said goodbye to a special woman who’s smile lit up the room while her laugh filled it. We find comfort in the memories - the milestones, helping each other through tough times, proud moments and the laughter that we shared. Even though you are no longer here, you continue to be part of each new memory as we always think about what she would have said or done or how proud she would be. We miss you dearly and cherish each memory we share. We know you are that bright light that shines down on us. “Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy.” - Inuit Proverb —Love your Husband, Daughters, Relatives & Friends

At 6 months of age the family moved to a farm by Calder. He attended school at Jubilee School until the family moved to Yorkton in 1958. Here he attended St. Mary’s then St. Joseph’s schools. After graduation he trained to be an X- Ray lab technician in Saskatoon. The first work term was in Langenburg for a year before moving to Winnipeg, MB.

In Regina, Jim started his career in hardwood flooring, working with his uncle, Frank Zatylny. He went on to purchase the business which was the start of Central Floor Sanding. He just officially retired from the business 5 years ago. Jim has traveled extensively with many trips to Hawaii, Ukraine and Medjugorje. He has been a very active member of St. Basil’s Ukrainian Catholic Church for many years.

Solo game lets you be a gumshoe Yorkton This Week | www.YorktonThisWeek.com | Wednesday, April 3, 2019
There is a genre of games which are often over-looked, but thanks in part to crowdfunding, are turning up more often these days, and that is the solo game. Solo games are not for everyone. For many there is a highly social aspect to board games, and playing a solitaire game runs counter that aspect of the experience. But there are nights your gaming buddies are unavailable, and television is a mix of re-runs of bad shows like Duck Dynasty and Keeping Up with the Kardashians and suddenly a solo game looks really good. In such circumstances it’s a good choice to have a copy of Pulp Detective from creator Todd
Sanders on hand. Sanders is something of a print and play legend on Board Game Geek, noted for lavishly created art in games which have generally been available to just print out and delve into. But Sanders is finally taking his skills and talents to a bit broader audience by offering a printed version. Pulp Detective can be played as a two-player game, but I would suggest it is primarily for solo play. As the name implies, in this one you are a gritty gumshoe out to solve a case. “To solve the case, find all the four clues and confront the criminal to win,” states the
THE MEEPLE GUILD (Yorkton) meeple.guild@gmail.com rules. “If ‘time’ or your ‘stamina’ runs out, the case remains unsolved, and you lose. You may be able to replenish your stamina, but time is a tenacious and merciless mistress. If the time marker ever passes the one hour icon (i.e. you have moved the status cube off the time track), you lose the game immediately.” The neat thing here is that in a rather small
box, with a small ruleset, there are multiple cases increasing replay ability. You may choose any case to play against: • The Case of the Death’s Door Damsel: It is suggested the first few times you play the game to choose this case first. You will need four clues to solve this case. • The Case of the Pilfered Photo: For this
case you may not use any Persuasion Twist Markers during the game. You will need three clues to solve this case. • The Case of the Bullied Banker: For this case you may not use the Red Paperboy die during the game. If you gain it as an item, you may choose any other item instead. You will need four clues to solve this case. An expansion has already been released which adds seven additional cases to take on. The expansion also introduces the sidekick. “Players will be able to use each of their sidekicks once during the game and may use several Sidekicks within the same phase of play,” notes the rules. “Sidekicks have dif-
A19
ferent abilities whether it is daytime or nighttime. Once a player has used one of their special abilities, remove the sidekick card from the game.” The base game and expansions uses a combination of in-game decisions, and the roll of dice to give the game a definite level of tension, especially since time moves on as the game gets closer and closer to its end. This one is a solo gem by a talented designer that is well worth looking at. Check it out at www. avstudiogames.com For a bonus game review head to yorktonthisweek.com where a review of the game El Alamein has been posted this week.
Springers hosting invitational Springers Gymnastics Club has had many accomplishments over the last two seasons, including 2018 Provincial Champion in the Junior Olympic (JO) Level 4 category, Danielle Ronn. However, this year we have an athlete who competed at Western Trials in Regina this past weekend for a spot on the team that attends Western Canadian Championships. Danica Signarowski has earned herself a spot on Team Sask as a JO Level 8 athlete competing at Westerns, which will be held in Saskatoon on April 25-27, 2019. The last athlete from Springers who was a member of Team Sask that attended Westerns was in 2001. These are exciting times for our little club and we are so proud of our athletes! As our competitive program continues to grow and develop, we have become strong competitors in the province, includSkilled Help
ing amongst other athletes in big city clubs, such as Regina and Saskatoon. Our club has 29 competitive athletes and 20 pre-competitive athletes, which is relatively small in comparison. Our competitive season began on the weekend of February 8-10, 2019, where we competed at the Marian Classic in Saskatoon. Springers athletes have competed in various competitions to date, including Taiso in Saskatoon, Humboldt, Prince Albert and Moose Jaw. Springers Gymnastics Club will be host to 510 athletes, 330 competitive and 180 recreational, on April 5-7, 2019.
