The May Long Weekend was warm and a great time for people in Yorkton to get out and enjoy the city. Riders took to the Yorkton Skate Park to enjoy the weekend, do some tricks, and take advantage of the time off.

Goulden recognized by YWCA

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Long-time City Councillor Randy Goulden was announced as the inaugural recipient of the Saskatchewan Spirit’ award at the YWCA Saskatoon announced its 2019 Women of Distinction presentation

Tuesday evening.

“It was pretty awesome, and a little bit overwhelming,” she told Yorkton This Week Tuesday morning.

Goulden said when she looked over the list of nominees across the various categories she said she couldn’t help but be impressed.

“There were so many amazing contributions they’ve made to their communities,” she had said at the time of her nomination.

As it was the new award was the last to be presented, and Goulden said she was just enjoying the evening talking to people such as fellow nominee

Sheryl Spence the Mayor of Warman.

“I was having some nice conversations,” she said.

And then her name was announced.

“I kind of didn’t believe it,” she said, adding she initially thought they were simply reviewing the nominees.

Then it sunk in that she has won.

“It was just overwhelming,” she reiterated.

Goulden said the award was made just a bit more special for her as it came on the same night Senator Lillian Dyck

Rural fire termed ‘suspicious’

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer A fire at an abandoned yard site just south of Canora on Highway #9 has been termed ‘suspicious’ in nature.

Eric Sweeney, deputy chief of the Canora and District Fire Department said they received a call regarding the fire at 12:33 a.m. Tuesday and responded with a crew of eight to find the grass and buildings already on fire.

Given that the yard

site was not lived in, and that power to the yard was shut off, there was immediately some thought the fire could have started under suspicious circumstances, said fire chief Devon Sawka.

The fire, located roughly 40 kilometres north of Yorkton, was just being brought under control when the department received a second call at 1:44 to respond to a garage fire at Burgis Beach, said Sweeney.

Construction time again The construction of the North Storm Channel and Sewer Line project north of Yorkton has begun.

The North Storm Water Channel will replace existing inadequate storm water infrastructure between Dracup Avenue at York Road, and Highway 9. The project has several components, including replacing culverts and a bridge on highway 9 and overall will have a budget of over $11 million.

FIRE Continued from Page A1 In response to the dual fires the Rhein Fire Department was called in to carry out some mop up duties at the yard site, while Canora headed to the garage fire.

Then at 11:24 a.m. the Canora Department was again called to the yard site where fire had once again

broke out.

Again the department responded with trucks and a crew of eight.

Sawka said the fire starting again did not match with what you might expect if it was a missed hot spot, and was actually in a locale that was not the way the wind was blowing if the original fire had restarted, again causing them to think the second ignition was

suspicious.

On the second visit to Canora firefighters set a back fire to prevent the yard fire from getting to Highway #9, said Sweeney.

The fire would completely destroy a house, not lived in in recent years, a barn, garage and shed, plus a few acres of slough and bush grass.

The fire was deemed back under

control by about 2 p.m.

While the fire was thought to have been suspicious, Sawka said further investigation into the exact cause is unlikely since little of value was destroyed.

The Burgis Beach fire was also put under control, that blaze being called in by RCMP on a regular patrol.

“I called her my silent mentor,” said Goulden, who added she has long followed Dyck’s career finding inspiration in it.

Dyck is a member of the Gordon First Nation in Saskatchewan, and a first generation Chinese Canadian, The Honorable Dr. Lillian Eva Quan Dyck is well-known for advocating for equity in the education and employment of women,

Chinese Canadians and Aboriginals. She is the first female First Nations senator and first Canadian born Chinese senator.

Volunteers and supporters of the Health Foundation gathered last week to help seed canola that when harvested in the fall will be sold as a fundraiser.

Farming for Health under way

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The 2019 edition of the Farming for Health initiative got under way last Thursday, as planting started.

The Health Foundation has been planting crops and selling the production for a number of years as a major fundraising initiative.

Project co-chair Larry Hilworth said the money from the project was ear-marked to go toward a new hospital in the city, and raised $1 million for that purpose.

With the $1 million in the bank awaiting the province moving forward with a new hospital it was decided to refocus the Farming for Health project on some equipment needs at

the hospital, said Hilworth.

“We still hope a new hospital will come,” he said, adding until that happens there are other needs within the health system.

In 2018 $159,467 was raised for digital microscopy system.

This year it is hoped the 360 acres of canola being planted will generate enough dollars when sold in the fall to fund

new ultrasound equipment.

Hilworth said the key to the success of the project over the years has been the support of sponsors, starting with the land which is owned by the City of Yorkton.

Beyond the land, Hilworth said they receive donations ranging from equipment and labour to do the actual field work; harrowing, seeding,

stone picking, harvest and grain hauling, through to support in terms of helping with the cost of seed and fertilizer.

“It’s amazing the agriculture community can come together for such a good cause,” he said, adding companies that traditionally compete for market share are willing to work together “for the betterment of the Health Foundation.”

Former resident brings film to festival

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Actor Charlie David, (Charles Lubiniecki), who grew up in Yorkton has a film in this year’s Yorkton Film Festival.

The entry is an episode of David’s short series Shadowlands.

Shadowlands is an exploration of love by way of three different eras - a surgeon in the 1920s hell-bent on perfection, a couple in the 1950s navigating the opening of their relationship and a modern retelling of Pygmalion and Galatea which is the episode that’s been selected by the Yorkton Film Festival as a nominee for a Golden Sheaf award in the drama category.

David said in some way the three-story arc has its roots in Yorkton.

“Shadowlands is a miniseries or three episodes all exploring love,” he explained. “It started as a book of short stor-

ies I wrote under the same title. Even when I was writing the book I imagined some of the stories on screen.

“The decision to make it as a trilogy can be drawn back to studying Ancient Greek theatre in drama class with Mr. Digout at Sacred Heart and then competing provincially in our one act plays. One year we even tackled the classical text The Trojan Women and won.

“The style of a writer presenting three works goes back to that time and I think there’s also a rhythm to a triptych style of storytelling that resonates with us.”

In terms of the particular nominated episode David had several ‘roles’ to play.

“In the Pygmalion Revisited episode of Shadowlands, which will play at the Yorkton Film Festival, I wore several hats including writer, director, producer and

actor,” he said. “It would have been overwhelming if not for having such a supportive and talented cast and crew to work with.

“The piece is quite a rollercoaster emotionally and so the biggest challenge was stepping in and out of the scenes

as an actor and then to view takes and make corrections as the director.

“We found our rhythm fairly quickly but I couldn’t have attempted it without a strong team I had complete faith in.”

So what was the most challenging aspect of the project?

“The story is about a painter who has lost the love of his life,” said David. “He works as a painter for churches and while doing his latest commission he can’t get out of the whirlpool of his grief and ends up fashioning his dead lover as the Saint in his painting

which only compounds his mourning.

“There were a few technical challenges such as making life size paintings at various stages that looked like the actor playing opposite me, Marc Devigne.

Thankfully we had artist Andrew Moncrief create the seven-foot tall canvases and he did a remarkable job. There was also the FX challenge of bringing that painting to life.

“But aside from the technical this story really is a classic drama so the biggest challenge is bringing an authentic relatable performance for each of us actors.

“If we were to fail in that, no matter how pretty the rest of it looked - the story would fall flat.”

Looking at the film David said casting might ultimately be its greatest strength.

“I cast Marc Devigne who is originally from

◆Editorial◆

Politics The Saskatchewan Party has just received some outstanding job news — the kind of news that it might very well ride to an election win in October 2020.

There is, however a bit of ironic, bad news contained within this very good news.

What is very good news for the Sask. Party government and province as a whole is not the best news for rural Saskatchewan that may still be bearing the brunt of our changing economy.

The very good news is that month of April saw 14,200 more overall jobs —18,000 of which were full-time jobs. That we seem to have loss part-time jobs might normally be seen bad news, but with the rise in full-time employment it likely means we are seeing some part-time jobs converted into full-time ones.

And that is just the beginning of the good job new in the Saskatchewan job numbers that we have seen of late.

April represented the ninth consecutive month where Saskatchewan has seen more jobs than the same month 12 months ago.

What this strongly suggests is that the Saskatchewan economy is recovering and is on a bit of a roll, which bodes well for a governing party headed to polls next year.

The economy is a bit like a train that takes awhile to get to top speed and awhile to slow down. Historically speaking, 14,200 new jobs in a month (including 18,000 full-time ones) is nearing top speed, so it’s rather unlikely that it don’t slow down anytime soon.

It’s also noteworthy that the economy in April saw 12,100 jobs created by the private sector.

There was also a healthy number of additional jobs in educational services, health care and social assistance where the Sask. Party government has been criticized for not doing enough.

Finally, there were 7,100 jobs created in Saskatoon and 2,800 jobs in Regina, where the Sask. Party is expected to struggle the most in the October 2020 general election.

But while this is all good news overall, the news is less good for rural Saskatchewan.

Although jobs in agriculture were higher than a year ago, there were 2,200 fewer people working in the natural resources sector.

That’s bad news for rural Saskatchewan where virtually all of the energy jobs exist. This means good-paying jobs in the oil patch have not come back.

Instead, we are seeing 2,500 more jobs in the accommodation and food services industries that more often are minimum-wage level jobs.

But the real problem is that the bulk of the new jobs are being created in the two big cities, while the smaller cities, towns and farms generally continue to lose jobs.

This does not mean the Sask. Party has a political problem because it already has most of the 29 rural seats sewn up.

Except for the occasional seat where we see a retiring incumbent like Lyle Stewart or Dan D’Autremont, the Sask. Party already has a veteran MLA in place to seek re-election. And given that the bulk of those rural MLAs won with 65-per-cent-or-better of the popular vote, there is certainly no reason to suspect that Premier Scott Moe is going to lose many (or perhaps even any) rural caucus to Ryan Meili’s NDP. But it is a bit of double-edge sword in that overwhelming success in the rural seats means there is less political incentive for the government to address rural problems — especially long-standing rural problems like jobs that everyone believes the government can’t do much about anyway.

As good as the overall job news is, it very much seems that the government does have to turn its attention to doing what ever it can to help rural Saskatchewan in this area.

Film Festival grows out of Prairie spirit T

here is something to be said for the spirit of the people of the Canadian Prairies.

It is the spirit that helped carve out a place to live and thrive for so many new Canadians from the earliest days if western settlement.

It is the spirit which has had companies such as Bourgault and Seed Hawk and Yorkton’s Morris Industries come into existence as company founders went into their shops and came up with Prairie-born solutions to problems found here. When the right equipment didn’t exist, it was created.

And that same spirit of creation saw a group of people gather in Yorkton in 1947 to create the Yorkton Film Council.

From that first meeting an idea began to take shape.

In a tie only a couple of decades after the first television sets were appearing, the first mechanical TV station aired its first broadcast on July 2, 1928, members of that Council in a small Saskatchewan community thought they should host an international film festival.

When you think about film from the perspective of 2019, it’s hard to appreciate what they were dreaming 62-years ago. We turn on our televisions and find a world of literally dozens of television channels there to watch.

Our computers connect us to more opportunities, with YouTube.com having content added at a dizzying rate.

But in 1947, film was still very much something that was largely new, and rare.

There was an audacity to the film council thinking this community,

Yorkton just emerging from the impact of the Second World War, was a place that was well-suited to host film from around the world, but three years later the first International Film Festival was held.

The foresight of those that first envisioned the film festival is to be commended.

Even with an obvious vision it is unlikely anyone in that meeting in 1947 would have even given a thought to their film festival continuing through the decades.

But today (Wednesday) marks the start of this year’s festival.

Through the years the event has evolved starting as an international festival attracting entries from around the world, to where today it focuses on celebrating short film in Canada.

And it has not always been easy.

There have been some through the years that thought the festival might best continue in another city; Winnipeg, or even Toronto.

The Yorkton Film Festival has endured, now being the longest-running film festival in North America.

The Golden Sheaf Awards still seen as important in establishing careers and honouring the best in film in our country.

Sometimes locally we may not appreciate just what this festival is, but we should. It is a testament to the pioneer spirit of the past, and to the tenacity of our community to keep the festival here honouring the vision of 1947. As a community it is certainly something worthy of our pride.

Province declares Innovation Week The Government of Saskatchewan is pleased to proclaim May 21-31 as Innovation Week IN Saskatchewan. The week provides an opportunity to recognize and celebrate how the innovations coming out of our province have shaped, and continue to shape, Saskatchewan and the world.

Saskatchewan has made its impact, from inventing the air seeder, to setting up the first ATM, and creating the world’s first commercial scale clean coal/carbon capture plant. These innovations have benefited the lives of many by improving quality of life, creating jobs, and bringing investment into the province. The province continues supporting this culture of creativity by recognizing Saskatchewan’s innovative researchers, entrepreneurs, organizations and companies.

“Innovation is a vital

part of Saskatchewan’s economy,” Minister Responsible for Innovation Saskatchewan Tina Beaudry-Mellor said. “This week allows us to celebrate the achievements of our world-class researchers and research institutions, along with the many people that are growing the innovation sector in Saskatchewan.”

Innovation Week will also be celebrated nationally with the second annual Canadian Innovation Week, which will bring together partners and stakeholders from the innovation ecosystem to connect, cultivate, and celebrate Canadian innovation.

Saskatchewan achievements will be highlighted on a national scale over the next week, showcasing how our researchers and innovators create solutions to the world’s problems, right here in the province.

History Corner Researcher retires Terri Lefebvre Prince has retired from her position as Heritage Researcher for the City of Yorkton, effective May 8, 2019. Her many, many years of service, dedication and knowledge will be sorely missed. The City of Yorkton was fortunate to have her for over 20 years, when she started with a three month contract. She has taught many residents the value of history and our heritage through her involvement with numerous community groups and projects.

Terri hosted the first Heritage Day celebrations for Yorkton, which is now coordinated by the WDM, where she continued to be a guest presenter. She has been a wellspring of information for heritage and genealogy enthusiasts from all over the globe plus a fearless critic of misinformation. Her dedication and enthusiasm for her position has inspired many within our City, and throughout the community-locally, provincially and nationally.

Terri sent following: “It has been a privilege to do this work and experience the enthusiasm of the public for the pictorial and written story of Yorkton, and researching as much as I could as time allowed, the life of First Nations and settlement days of the region. Thanks to the many friends of the Archives.”

The nutrition program at Dr. Brass School is getting a makeover.

The school was one of ten in the province to receive $10,000 as part of the Mosaic Extreme Makeover Challenge.

“It’s a call to action

within the truth and reconciliation throughout Canada. We wanted to

have our largest student population have an opportunity to share their ways of knowing and the food they have grown to love. All cultures will be enhanced by that.”

The plan is to have elders come in to help cook traditional food while explaining the traditions and where the food came from, and Gordon believes it will have an impact far beyond the classroom.

“If the kids are able to learn that new process, maybe they will add it

into their own daily routines.”

The program will start in the 2019-20 school year, and Gordon said that their goal now is to bring the community together to help present the program.

“We are looking for elders, we are looking for people to get involved, we are looking for families to share their knowledge with the future students of Dr. Brass School.”

The nutrition program feeds upwards of 200 students on a daily basis at Dr. Brass School.

real courthouse, with the proceedings adjudicated by a real judge.

Taking place at the Court of Queen’s Bench in Saskatoon under the watchful eyes of Madam Justice Donna Wilson, the two teams from Yorkton Regional High School’s Mock Trial club were duly sent to compete in the Provincial Mock Trial to reclaim the McKercher Cup. They succeeded.

The case, though fictitious, read ominously: R. vs Rogers, charged with manslaughter.

“HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN AGAINST JAMIE ROGERS,” the case file reads.

“Jamie Rogers stands charged: “1. That he/she, on or about the 28th day of October, 2017, in the City of Saskatoon, in the Province of Saskatchewan, did cause the death of Nik Pasternak, and thereby commit manslaughter, to wit: that Jamie Rogers assaulted Nik Pasternak and caused injuries resulting in death, contrary to s. 236 of the Criminal Code.”

Tasso Stamatinos and Kathryn Blommaert, both of Yorkton Regional High School took top honours in the competition.

“We started practicing a few months in advance,” said Blommaert.

“Basically, we just get this case and then we review it and come up with a perspective on it.

“We go to a mock trial

Kathryn Blommaert (left) and Tasso Stamatinos (right) with their trophies from the Mock Trial. where we go against other teams.”

Blommaert intends to study law, and is preparing to commence her undergraduate at the University of Regina this Fall.

Simultaneously, she is preparing for her LSATs, to be taken in the final year of her undergraduate studies. From there, she will prepare for her Juris Doctor, and then ultimately will take the final bar exam in order to be admitted to the bar to practice law.

“I always made sure to prepare each night,” Stamatinos said.

“Confidence is the most important key to anything, and I found that that helped our team because everyone was very confident in what they were doing.

“I got positive feedback [from the justices].

They told me that I did

a good job; both my defence and prosecution along with my closing statements and they also gave me some pointers to work on.

“I’m kind of torn between education and law,” Stamatinos admitted.

“I’ve got a couple of lawyers in my family so there’s some experience in my family that could help me. I like public speaking and I’m very interested in government, both provincial and also federal.”

Sage advice from The Honourable Mr. Justice Joseph W. Quinn of the Ontario Superior Court will no doubt ring true: “Never lose sight of your role in the courtroom: it is to persuade.

And, to persuade, you must have the trust of the court. If the judge does not trust you, only the manifestly clear issues will fall your way.”

Chamber recognizes business, talks transport

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The most recent Yorkton Chamber of Commerce Luncheon recognized local businesses and talked about opportunities for the future.

At the beginning of the lunch, businesses that have been Chamber members for 20-25 years were recognized, including Brendonn Holdings, Blaze Locksmithing, Parkland Printers, Canadian Tire and D.R. Auto Extras.

Juanita Polegi, Executive Director of the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce, said they feel it’s important to recognize these businesses because they have invested in the community and want to give the Businesses recognized for being Chamber of Commerce members for 20-25 years local Chamber of Commerce a strong Stevyn Arnt, talking about the Global included Brendonn Holdings, Blaze Locksmithing, Parkland Printers, Canadian voice.

“Approaching this miniseries as a collaboration of artists - musicians, painters, and doing many things the old fashioned way really was magic to me. We took our time and told the stories we wanted to tell.

“It won’t be to everyone’s taste but it follows through on the idea of a trilogy of stories sharing a theme and with the purpose of driving the audience to catharsis.

To feel moved and then make moves in their own lives.”

As for audience David said it does have adult themes.

“I think the Shadowlands miniseries and the Pygmalion Revisited episode in particular at the Yorkton Film Festival can be viewed by a mature teenager and up audience,” he said. “There is one

scene with violence in Pygmalion Revisited that involves self-harm so that’s why I would invite a high school and up audience but also invite parents/guardians to accompany younger people so a conversation can happen afterward.

“Ideally I always hope to incite a conversation with my films and TV shows. I build stories outside the mainstream box and I hope that inspires people to reflect on their lives and open their minds and hearts a little wider.”

So far the reaction depends on the episode of the trilogy.

“The three stories in the Shadowlands miniseries are very different in tone and style,” said David. “The reactions I’ve gotten so far is generally people have a favorite (most often The Pygmalion Revisited episode) a close second favorite and then there’s often a guttural reaction to the first in the series Narcissus. Most people are repelled by it or outright hate it.

“I love that reaction.

“The story is about a man who is completely self-involved as an early plastic surgeon in the 1920s. I created it as a metaphor for our Instagram, sel-

fie obsessed, egomaniac place in history that I also find wrench worthy and in need of serious realignment. The Narcissus episode is violent in word and deed. I think perhaps audiences are repulsed because looking into a mirror like that is disturbing.

“I am most touched by people who have watched the Pygmalion Revisited episode and confess to being emotional wrecks during the credits. If I can squeeze your heart and make you want to love harder in your life, I’m doing the job I set out to do.”

David has been a man on the move since leaving Yorkton.

“I lived in Yorkton until graduating high school at Sacred Heart and then did a winter tour with Saskatchewan Express before moving to Victoria to attend the Canadian College of Performing Arts,” he said. “I quickly learned my interests were in film and television opposed to the stage and so moved to LA shortly after.

“In my late teens and twenties I tried on several cities to see what fit best including Vancouver, Victoria, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Capetown,” he said. “Part of that was simply follow-

ing work opportunities and part of it was a genuine searching for where I felt like I belonged. I currently live in Toronto and Montreal but home for me is wherever I’m at.”

In terms of film David noted, “I didn’t go to a film school or university but started getting involved in production in addition to work in front of the camera as soon as I could. I made short films with friends, worked on other people’s projects in a bunch of capacities from photo doubling and stand-in to locations to set dec and then eventually felt confident I was ready to make my first movie which was Mulligans. It was a small indie film which we shot in Victoria but we ended up licensing it all over the world and to many broadcasters here in Canada as well including HBO, Movie Channel, Sundance, Hollywood Suite and more.

“At that point I started my company Border2Border Entertainment and have since grown into producing film, documentaries, TV, audiobooks, and branded media for clients ranging from banks to provincial health organizations to dating apps.”

Challenges for farmers are changing A recent incident in British Columbia has to have farmers more concerned about both the security of their farms and just how quickly things can get out of hand when it comes to the perception of the public.

It was in April when a busload of animal activists invaded a hog operation in B.C., in response to video footage claiming to show questionable conditions for the pigs within.

B.C. media reports indicate about 50 protestors from a group called Meat the Victims entered the barn at Excelsior Hog Farms

and occupied it for a short period before being removed by police. More than 100 others protested on a nearby road.

One person was subsequently charged with breaking and entering and mischief.

Stepping back from the incident itself, what it does show is the power of social media to illicit certain responses to perceived situation.

Typically, if one were to have questions about the health and security of livestock you might expect calls to the Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the Canadian

Agriculture THIS WEEK

Calvin Daniels Food Inspection Agency, or the local police, not piling onto a bus to undertake a level of civil disobedience.

That should be concerning to producers, because it could be something they face when they go to brand calves, apply herbicides, burn stubble or

even plant GMO crops. A busload of people in the way could disrupt operations and lead to confrontation all too easily.

Such situations of course also get the press involved, leaving a perception that there is a significant backlash against whatever operation is being pro-

tested. But a busload of 50 people in a region of tens-of-thousands may be little more than a vocal few getting some facetime in the media for what is a small group opposed to something.

At present we have a society that is perhaps too quickly ready to jump to appease the vocal few regardless of the thing they are asking for.

There are times when the minority needs to have their voices listened too, in situations where they are seeking fairness and equality.

But that is not always the case, as we have witnessed by the removal

of certain historic statues, that are there not because the person captured in bronze was perfect, but because they still had some significant role in our history.

Finding the balance of protests with merit and those that are simply noise, is an issue society must work to achieve.

In the meantime farmers need to be aware they may face a new challenge, dealing with protestors whose agenda is not going to be friendly to the industry of agriculture.

Sauser among ag scholarship recipients

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Kaitlyn Sauser of Churchbridge received runner-up scholarships valued at $2,000 through the Agriculture Student Scholarship program.

The award was officially released

by Federal Agriculture Minister MarieClaude Bibeau and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit recently as they awarded four agriculture scholarships to students from across the province.

Sauser, in Grade 12 in Churchbridge explained the scholarship required applicants to submit a video, or essay on the impact focused on the positive aspects of the sector.

Sauser said she made a three-minute video focused on how the family cattle farm is part of the broader economy.

“I grew up on a cattle farm,” she said, adding the 100-head herd has been the focus of what is essentially a mixed farm operated by her parents Sheldon and Tamara Sauser.

While Sauser said she plans to head to the University of Saskatchewan in the fall to begin classes in agriculture business, she admitted it was not initially in her mind to go into agriculture.

“I never would have thought of myself in agriculture,” she told Yorkton This Week, adding she was leaning toward some business desk job.

But, a ‘career crawl’ changed her mind as it showed “how agriculture is going to be part of the future,” she said.

“It caught my eye,” she said, adding she came to recognize a career in

As for the scholarship, Sauser said it came as a surprise, adding she knew there would be lots of good application.

“I thought my video was a good work, but it was a surprise (to win),” she said.

In a release federal minister Bibeau;

said, “By supporting our youth through programs like the Agriculture Student Scholarship, we are helping to secure a promising future for our industry.

These innovative students will play an important part in telling the Canadian agricultural story… “ Marit echoed the same sentiments

in the release.

“The 2019 scholarship winners’ submissions showed commitments to sustainable production, humane animal treatment and science-based decision making. It is encouraging to see how passionate our youth are about building a career in agriculture. They are a great voice for our industry.”

Caylee Dorval of Glaslyn, received $4,000 toward her agriculture-related post-secondary studies as the grandprize winner of the 2019 Agriculture Student Scholarship. Dorval’s winning video submission discusses her role in the family ranch and her pride in the beef they raise.

“This scholarship is an excellent opportunity for young people to voice their agricultural ideas,” Dorval said in the release. “It was an interesting scholarship to apply for since you can be creative while showing your passion for agriculture. I am very thankful for this scholarship as it will help me to further my education in Animal Science.”

In addition to Sauser, Madison McNeil of Alameda, and Morgan Davey of Delisle, also received runner-up scholarships valued at $2,000 each.

The Agriculture Student Scholarship Program identifies young people who are advocates for agriculture and leverages their passion and ability to tell the story of Saskatchewan agriculture.

Good week in terms of planting crop Significant seeding progress was made this past week as 38 per cent of the crop is now in the ground, ahead of the fiveyear average (2014-18) of 31 per cent for this time of year.

Crops are slow to emerge due to cool condi-

tions. Seeding is furthest advanced in the southeastern region, where 53 per cent of the crop is in the ground.

Fifty-two per cent of the crop is seeded in the southwest, with 31 per cent seeded in the eastcentral region, 32 per

cent in the west-central region, 22 per cent in the northeast and 28 per cent in the northwest.

Rainfall was reported this past week throughout the province. The Nipawin area received the greatest amount, 21 mm. Most regions of the

province need rain to help alleviate dry field conditions.

Provincially, cropland topsoil moisture is rated as one per cent surplus, 52 per cent adequate, 40 per cent short and seven per cent very short.

Topsoil moisture on hay

land and pasture is rated as 46 per cent adequate, 40 per cent short and 14 per cent very short. Hay and pasture growth has been slow due to little rainfall and cool conditions. Winter wheat assessments are continuing as fields green up and

temperatures rise.

Farmers are busy seeding, working fields, controlling weeds and moving cattle.

Paper Bag Players go south with Steel Magnolias

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The Paper Bag Players are going to the south.

Their spring production is Steel Magnolias, Robert Harling’s play about the bond between a group of women in a small Southern town.

Director Leanne Keys said that this play was one of her ‘bucket list’ plays, and one that they knew a lot of people would be a bit familiar with and want to see performed.

“Annelle is one of my favorite characters, she just plays so innocent throughout it.”

But the real excitement for the group isn’t the play, but the audience, and seeing how

they respond to what they see on stage.

“To know that this is a story of mothers and daughters, not only that, but friends, and friends who feel like family, the audience’s reaction to that, I’m interested to see that.”

The trip down south means that everyone in the cast gets to try out a southern accent. Keys notes that one cast member went down south for a vacation and possibly a bit of research.

“She said ‘we’re doing really great, everybody’s got their accents perfect.’”

This year’s cast con-

Drivers on Gladstone Ave. will see something a bit brighter at one of the crosswalks. A rainbow stretches across the street, commemorating the start of Pride Week in Yorkton.

Laura Budd, one of the organizers of Yorkton’s Pride Week, said that the week is going to be a full celebration of the LGBTQ+ community in the city. A wide range of events will take place starting on Tuesday.

The week begins with a Pride flag raising at Yorkton Regional High School at noon on May 21.

There will be two performances of The Pink Unicorn by Free My Muse Theatre, one on May 21 and one on May 22, both at the Sacred Heart High School Theatre at 7:00 p.m. On May 23 there will be a Pound with Pride class at the St. Michael’s gym at 6:30 p.m. On May 24 there will be a Queer Movie Night and Pizza Party at the Boys and Girls Club at 6:00 p.m.

The week ends with several events on Saturday, May 25. The Pride Parade starts at the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery

“It means a lot for the Paper Bag Players to support one of ours. That’s the way we have always run it, when someone is in need we step up.”

The play takes place May 31 and June 1 at the Sacred Heart Auditorium at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $20 and available from the cast, at the door, or online at www.paperbagplayers.com.

“It’ll be a fun time, you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, then you’ll go home and call your mom,” concludes Keys.

“It’s good to have a mix of energy.”

This year’s play is about more than the performance, but also supporting one of their own.

The fact that there is an official Pride Week in Yorkton, with the week declared by council and city crews assisting in controlling traffic to allow a rainbow crosswalk, is evidence how fortunate Yorkton is overall, said Budd.

“There are countries in the world where it’s illegal to have same-sex attraction and be in a same-sex relationship, and to be gender diverse.

Here in Yorkton, Sk. we have the support of the city and the community to be who we are, to love who we love and be a part of this community, and be celebrated rather than shunned.”

Budd would love to see the entire community come out and celebrate, no matter how people identify.

“It is world class entertainment you can get right here in Yorkton, so come celebrate with us.”

See life up north with Etthén Heldeli: Caribou Eaters

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The Golden Sheaf awards are up this weekend, and one person that’s up for three awards is Ian Toews. The director, writer and cinematographer talked to Yorkton This Week about the projects he has up for awards this year.

The film up for two awards is Etthén Heldeli: Caribou Eaters, which follows the Dene people in northern Saskatchewan. It’s up for two awards, the Ruth Shaw Award for Best of Saskatchewan and Best Multicultural over 30 minutes.

Part of the inspiration for the film was that they felt not enough was said about the Dene people and their connection to the caribou, and City TV, which aired the documentary, agreed. They wanted to present a complete picture of the caribou hunt and the people who live on it.

“One of the goals was to really be comprehensive about the seasons in nature that the Dene people are facing, most of which are winter, but there’s a short summer season, a short spring and a short fall as well.”

The documentary shows people traditions that not everyone gets to see, and Toews said that their job was to build trust with the people. The project saw the crew go along on the hunt, the highlight of the film according to Toews, a six day trip where they saw the crew shoot, prepare and transport the caribou.

Kids watch how to prepare caribou in Etthén Heldeli: Caribou Eaters. The film is nominated for two Golden Sheaf Awards.

Given that they go far up north, where many people are not able to travel, one unique component to the project was a 360 video shot by Cary Ciesielski. It allows the audience to see the area where the Dene people live.

Shooting in northern Saskatchewan, in the winter, the biggest challenge was the cold weather. Cameras don’t like -25 degrees Celsius. This is especially true of the little cameras used for the 360 component, which have to be synchronized.

“There are six cameras on this apparatus, and by the time you get to the sixth camera the first one is have frozen because it’s so cold. So there were a lot

of challenges he had to put up with to get it shot, but he made it, he managed to get quite a few things filmed while we were there. I couldn’t help him because I was busy wrestling with my own camera in four feet of snow, so every time I put down my camera the tripod would plunge down. So it was a lot of fun, good exercise for me and him!” Toews said.

The other big challenge was the distance. You can fly in with limited gear, or drive up through rough roads, which Toews describes as ‘quite an experience.’

“Then you get up there and conditions change or something else happens in the community, you’re not going any-

where. You’re in a whole different place up there.”

The film covers traditions, and the elders and the importance of what they’re trying to teach the next generation.

Toews believes it’s important that their wisdom is passed on, and if they help by filming it, that’s worthwhile.

“We’re not First Nations ourselves, but in our own little way we’re passing on that information, because we’re recording it.”

The other main subject the film the caribou themselves, which have a declining herd and how sensitive the sub-arctic area is. The caribou numbers are falling quickly, but the reasons aren’t clear, though

forest fires running through the forest up north are changing the migration patterns.

“They just have less routes that are accessible to them, added to which, the numbers are falling all over sub-arctic Canada.”

And as the caribou suffer, so too do the people who hunt them and rely on them.

“The poetry of it all is that the Dene and the caribou are inextricably linked, they’ve been together for over 10,000 years.”

The second project that received a nomination is Ageless Gardens, a television series about health and wellness as we age, through gardening, filming across Canada, including episodes in Saskatchewan. It is aired on VisionTV. It is up for Best Documentary Series.

“What we like about making the series is that the older people we feature tend to have an incredible amount of wisdom about their gardens. Quite a few of them are in their 70s and their 80s, we’ve got gardeners in the first season in their 90s.

That level of knowledge goes back decades.”

While about different people, there are themes shared between the two programs.

Both are cataloging the wisdom of the elder generation and the importance of nature in our lives.

“The world is full of people who are not listening to things or learning, and maybe should be learning more from people.”

Scenes from the film Etthén Heldeli: Caribou Eaters, which will be up for two awards at the 2019 Golden Sheaf Awards, including the Ruth Shaw Award for Best of Saskatchewan.

Plant sale May 24 A12

Wednesday, May 22, 2019 | www.YorktonThisWeek.com | Yorkton This Week

The Yorkton and District Horticultural Society Spring Plant and Bulb Sale will be on Friday, May 24 beginning at 9:30 a.m. at the Parkland Mall in Yorkton. This is the perfect opportunity to add some new plants to your garden collection. There will be a good selection of plants at great prices, and gardeners on hand to chat with if you have any questions. Don’t miss it!

Thank you to everyone who took part in our Iron Gardener event at our last meeting — it was great fun! Our Iron Gardeners, Sonja, Jean and Allona gave us great inspiration and showed us how to have fun with our spring plantings!

Thank you everyone!

Now that we are in planting mode, be sure to plant some flowers for the bees. There are many flowers that attract bees and pollinators: lavender, chives, sunflowers, roses, oregano, salvia, cosmos, and flowers that are purple or blue, yellow, or white. Remember that one in three bites of food that we eat is possible because of the bees and other pollinators, so please be sure to plant at least one row of flowers in your garden with the bees in mind.

An interesting factoid: there are over 21,000 species of bees, and not all of them make honey.

There is a very interesting and informative site about bees, https:// thehoneybeeconservancy.org and it is buzzing with information about these amazing and miraculous workers. Did you know that there are only seven species of honeybees? Most of the bees in

Gardener’s Notebook the world live and work alone. They are called “solitary” bees, and even though they don’t produce honey, they have an important role to play as pollinators. Most of them do not live in hives, but make nests in the ground or in hollow stems. And like so many species, these bees are also facing difficulties because of lack of habitat.

using it as a snack bar.

So if you are thinking of having a bee hotel in your yard, please visit the bee conservancy site or type in “bee hotel” into Google and read about how to best maintain a bee hotel so that it is useful and safe for the wonderful bees. And if you are a handy person, you can even make your own bee hotel.

You may have heard about “bee hotels”; the idea of them is great, giving bees a habitat in our yards. But be sure to read up on this: while our intentions are good, there are several issues to consider for the safety of the bees. Other tenants, such as wasps, may use the bee hotel. The environment is also a happy destination for spiders.

Edmund Burke, the Irish politician and philosopher, said many amazing things in his life, including two quotes that I have long found meaningful for life. The first one is “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” and the second is “Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.” The earth needs our protection and help, and when we hear all the gloom it may overwhelm us. But we can, in our own small way, make a difference in our little corner of the world. We must do our part in whatever way we can. Let’s not make the mistake of doing nothing because we can only do a little.

Together, it all makes a big difference.

Location, location, location! The bee hotel must be installed properly to be effective, facing south or south-east, at least three feet off the ground, and on a stable base that will not move around in the wind.

Nesting sections must be kept clean of mold.

The hotel should have protection, such as an overhanging roof to protect the bees from wind or rain. And it must be watched vigilantly to be sure that birds are not

What makes those birds sing so early?

A songbird roused me at four this morning. Its cheerful call cut through my sleeping synapses like a propeller through still water.

What makes a bird sing so early? Insomnia?

Excitement — new home, new mate? Joy at journey’s end, at arriving safely back at its northern nesting grounds?

I want to sing loud and proud too, whenever we reach our summer nest (a parked camping trailer), even though the journey takes a mere twenty minutes.

I wonder if birds have a networked alarm sys-

tem. If they take turns waking their avian neighbourhood at the edge of dawn. Because after that first one, on almost any morning, the cheerful call becomes a cacophony. But sometimes it stops then, as though the other birds roused just long enough to chastise that solitary riser.

He could, after all, have merely stolen quietly off to eat his sunny side up grubs alone. But then again, in predawn food may be difficult to spot, so why not make merry melody instead?

Forgive me, friends, for I have anthropomorphized. Again.

KATHLEEN GIBSON

Kathleen Gibson (www.kathleengibson.ca) is a Yorkton-based author and speaker.

Sunny Side Up kathleen@kathleengibson.ca

It seems no one really knows why birds sing so early. Nature writers I’ve read propose several explanations, not mutually exclusive: Earlybird singers are generally male, they say, seizing the quiet stage to signal their vitality and strength

to potential mates or to warn away other male birds. The songs travel further in the atmospheric conditions of predawn, they also suggest.

(Though that theory has been de-bunked — birdsong travels equally as far in daylight hours.)

They do agree, though, that a bird singing alone in quiet surroundings can be heard more clearly.

(A truth indeed. I adore early birdsong, but some mornings, when the singer’s voice cuts through triple-paned glass and two quilts, I crave a volume button.)

Here’s something I know for sure. On the mornings when I’ve had children in the house,

especially the smallest grandbeans, that solitary bird doesn’t wake only me. One of those beans in particular always wakes up fully when the bird chorus begins. Then comes small thumping feet, and soon another early bird, a very chatty one, joins Gampa and I in bed. All is lost then.

I pretended to sleep once. The little one stayed quiet for twelve seconds. Then came a surprise: three hard knocks on the top of my skull. I “woke up” laughing, which is almost as good as waking up singing, but… really… at four

A13

a.m.?

Spring, after a dawdling start, has finally arrived in my part of the prairie. I’m as unsettled as a grasshopper, as thrilled as a man at an all-you-can-eat free BBQ. And I’m making the most of it, though not as early as the birds.

Nevertheless, I have my own theory regarding why they sing so early.

It’s why I sing too, though never at four a.m.

“I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free. For God’s eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches me.”

Happy spring, all.

Yorkton Crush take on new challenge

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Crush have taken over management and maintenance of the slo pitch diamonds at York Lake.

“It’s a new thing for us,” said Crush president Clorice Kuzek.

Kuzek said the new arrangement was made to hopefully benefit both the Crush and the facility.

“The facility wasn’t getting enough use,” she explained.

And the various Crush teams were having a difficult time getting diamond time in the city.

“We were only getting two days a week,” she said, adding that even at those limited times the girls fastball practices would be cancelled at times to allow for baseball.

As it turned out York Lake was looking for some group to take over the slo pitch facility, and Kuzek said we decided to take it on.

“We think it will be more beneficial for our girls to get more practice time,” she said.

As it is, the Crush have nearly 85 girls enrolled this year, and are fielding teams at every level from the learn to play under-8 team through to a U19 team.

“It’s been growing. It’s been progressing,” said Kuzek.

The Crush program is now using the York Lake diamonds four nights a week.

Kuzek said it was only a half dozen years ago the girls fastball program was struggling a bit, but with some reorganizing, and rebranding the program as the Crush, and things have grown, which is good said their president as fastball is a sport girls can progress in all the way to college scholarships.

This year the league

structure is going through its own restructuring as the old 981 league folded in the winter.

Kuzek said they moved to have a meeting to save the league structure albeit in a new form.

“We wanted something in Southeast Saskatchewan so the girls have somewhere to play,” she said.

Bringing commun-

ities such as Saltcoats, Churchbridge, Langenburg, Stockholm, Esterhazy, Melville, Ochapowace and others, a league was created.

“We’re going year-toyear,” said Kuzek, adding the roster of teams will hopefully grow.

With the new facility the Crush will be hosting a tournament June 2, which is attracting teams

The Yorkton Crush fastball program has a new home at York Lake.

from Dauphin and St. Rose in Manitoba and inquiries from Melfort, Humboldt and Regina which Kuzek said is good for the future as they want better competition to develop the program here.

While the Crush are using the diamonds regularly, there is also slo pitch going on, and in the future they will be looking for additional users, offered Kuzek.

But right now the number one job is getting the facility back in shape.

“It has been run down the last 15 years,” she said, which means “a lot of volunteer hours and a lot of work going on.”

Kuzek likened the project a bit like eating an elephant, which can only be accomplished a bite at a time. The fields need attention, there are lights burned out, the clubhouse has been in disuse for ages.

Anyone who might be interested to help, the Crush recently received a donation of gravel for around the clubhouse, it would be welcomed, said Kuzek.

Stackhouse to kick for Calgary Colts

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer After graduation in June Matt Stackhouse will be heading to Calgary to play Junior football.

The Grade 12 student at Sacred Heart High School recently attended the spring camp of the Calgary Colts of the Prairie Football Conference.

“I was the only one (at camp) from Yorkton,” said Stackhouse, who added he had tried out with the Regina Thunder but when that didn’t work out, he headed west to the try-out with the Colts.

In Calgary Stackhouse was hoping to make the team as a receiver, but also took reps as a kicker, where he impressed the Calgary brass to earn a spot.

Stackhouse said kicking has not been something he has put a lot of effort into.

“I just happen to be

good at it. I’ve never really practiced,” he said.

Now with the Colts wanting him to kick Stackhouse said his attitude about the role is changing.

“I’m starting to realize my potential as a kicker,” he said.

The key to kicking, beyond leg strength and mechanics is staying positive.

If a field goal is missed, Stackhouse said you can’t leave that miss rolling around in your head, or it will impact the next kick too, usually in a bad way.

“You’ve just got to envision making the kick between the posts, that you’re going to it,” he said.

While Stackhouse made the Colts, which start play in mid-August, he also hopes to see some time at receiver, the position he has always wanted to play the most.

He said growing up he

played the video game Madden NFL where he would create a receiver and put his name on it.

“It’s my favourite position to play,” he said.

Whether as receiver or kicker, Stackhouse said he is starting to think about football more seriously. For example after some Junior time, he said he can now see football being a pathway to college.

And, beyond college there is the Canadian Football League.

“I’m starting to think about that every day now,” he said, adding “putting on a ‘Rider jersey … would be a dream come true.”

Matt Stackhouse has made the Calgary Colts.

Small leagues offer unique sports flavours It was in October last year that a rather interesting announcement was made.

National Pro Fastpitch (NPF), in conjunction with Softball Canada, and a couple of other sponsors, announced the addition of the Canadian Wild of Southern Illinois to the league.

The Wild became the sixth affiliate NPF team set to compete in the 2019 season, and they are not the first team with an international flavour as the league boasts both the Aussie Spirit, and Beijing Shougang Eagles.

The release at the time noted; Softball Canada recently finished third at the 2018

Women’s Softball World Championship in August, and is currently ranked third in the world by the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC).

They will play a 50-game schedule in National Pro Fastpitch overall, facing off with some of the best players in the world, including current and former Olympians.

National Pro Fastpitch will be entering their 16th season in 2019. Teams currently hail from three continents, with players representing the national teams of six different countries.

And now The Wild are about to embark on their inaugural season starting play May 28,

CALVIN DANIELS

Sports against Beijing at Jackie Robinson Ballpark in Daytona Beach.

Games are going to be shown via NPF TV. Since I love fastball, the game I played in my youth, I will be tuning in to see how entertaining the games are, recognizing at the top level this should be it, and the games should be very

good.

It is interesting that the other night when sleep was eluding me, I got to thinking about the diversity of top level sports now available to watch. While mainstream sports networks such as TSN and SportsNet are stuck focused on a core rotation of sports, other leagues are popping up

and finding an audience in-part by offering their games via online platforms.

It came to me that same night that the situation presently is much like the recent emergence of craft beers.

There is still the mass produced name brands rolling out by the semi load, but for those wanting unique flavours, craft beers are popping up and being successful too.

Professional women’s fastball, pro ultimate, the Canadian Elite Basketball League, the National Lacrosse League, Major Arena Soccer League and others, are essentially the craft beers of sports. You

A15

can’t find them by just turning on your cable TV and flipping to a sports channel, but with a little effort they are there to be watched, and enjoyed.

Each of the five leagues listed above are available via the Internet, most are free access. I’ll grant the quality might not be up to big network standards, but it’s still fine viewing – check out the CEBL Saskatchewan Rattlers and you will be pleasantly surprised.

Like a favourite craft brew, these leagues and the team you follow soon become a much enjoyed option from the sometimes repetitive nature of big sports broadcasts on the big networks.

The runners in the Learn to Run clinics get moving. The classes are running to prepare for the 5km, 10km and half-marathon races at the annual Health Foundation Charity Road Race in August.

Learning to run for health and wellbeing

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The runners in the Learn to Run Clinics are warming up. The clinics, which run Tuesdays and Thursdays, starting at Yorkton Regional High School, gather together

runners of all skill levels, to train for races of three different lengths, 5km, 10km and half-marathon.

The 5km is the shortest race, and most likely to get a beginner, someone who has just begun running and has never run a race before. One of

those runners is Susan Muir, who started the running club with an aim of taking on the 5km run in the Health Foundation’s annual charity road race.

It began with a health scare for Muir, who had been experiencing silent

migraines. Taking it as a sign that she had to do something different in her life, it inspired Muir to change her diet, going to eat more fresh food, join a gym and get more active.

“Running on a treadmill, I had got up to 5km.

When I saw this running clinic, I knew it was for me, because running outside is a lot more difficult and is one of my goals, by the end of June, to run 5km, and I’m going to do it.”

The running clinic is good for a newcomer like Muir, she said, because it’s a gradual build, going

from ‘couch to 5km,’ gradually increasing the distance of the run and training people. The program, overseen by Bernie Wlock for the 5km group runners, is a way to build up to the longer race.

The other advantage of starting with the Learn to Run Clinic is the group of runners, Muir said, because it’s a welcoming environment, which encourages the runners to grow into the sport together.

“We’re all starting at the same place and pace, and we can see a goal in mind.”

A teacher, she said

that she believes in sharing her goals with her students, so by doing this, she’s being a positive role model. She also hopes to see some students take on the challenge themselves, and run in the Health Foundation Charity Road Race in August.

But what about the migraines that started Muir running in the first place?

“I haven’t had a headache in a long time now that I’ve increased my exercise... Running is helping my health for sure.”

The Kalyna Ukrainian Dance Club would like to thank all the businesses and organizations that contributed to the Kalyna Festival and Competition Program.

We appreciate your continued support.

A very special thank you to the following sponsors who make the scholarships possible:

PLAN NUMBER 7-31000B TWO STOREY FAMILY HOME Two-storey homes, square meter for square meter, provide the most living space on a property, and this three-bedroom family home is no exception.

Entry is through a covered porch with a veranda to the left. Once in the foyer, double doors open to a den, with the U-shaped staircase to the second floor beyond.

A window above the stairwell will let in lots of natural light.

The great room, separated from the foyer by an archway, has a lofty sloped ceiling that is open to the floor above. A gas fireplace is flanked by entertainment units, and large windows look onto a covered patio at the back of the home.

From the dining area, access to the covered deck is easy, through sliding glass doors. A prep island divides the kitchen from the dining area, which has large windows overlooking the back garden.

Natural light will enter the kitchen through windows over the double sink, which is set into a corner at an angle. The U-shaped counter con-

figuration will provide adequate working space as well as efficiency. A walk-in pantry will offer extra storage space.

Across from the powder room located near the foyer is a handy coat closet. Another closet is included in the laundry room, which has access to the double garage, large enough to include a workshop.

Upstairs, the master suite looks out to the back garden. The generous en-suite includes a soaker tub as well as double basins and a shower stall. The walkin closet will be roomy enough for a couple’s clothing and accessories.

The second and third bedrooms share a threepiece bath. A linen closet is located outside the entrance to the third bedroom.

Part of the second floor is open to the great room below and is railed for safety.

On the outside, the home is clad in horizontal siding, with stucco accents and features a 3/12 roof pitch. Pilasters with stone bases mark the entry and veranda, and stone accents flank the two garage doors.

This home measures 42 feet wide by 58 feet deep, for a total of 2,079 square feet of living

space, not counting the unfinished basement included with the plans.

Ceilings rise to nine feet throughout the main floor, except where otherwise indicated.

Plans for design 7-31000B are available for $895 (set of 5), $965 (set of 8) and $1021 for a super set of 10. B.C. residents add 7% Prov. Sales Tax.

trated in researching my maternal ancestors.

My mother was born in Mississippi, USA. She died about 8-9 years ago. A few years after her death, I began to get interested in her life.

That is, where did she live? Was she a slave or a free person prior to the end of the American Civil War in 1865?

But when researching one’s ancestry, how does one start? I spoke to some relatives and friends of my mother, etc. Then I began to use some well known family history websites. These websites provided information including: the names of family members, ages, occupations, etc. However, very little was discovered about ancestors prior to 1865.

Hannah Sevilla and Cheyenne Olson have advanced to the National Skills Competition in Halifax which will be held on May 28-29, and Hannah had to take video footage, do interviews, then edit everything into a Skills news report video. They put everything they had into the competition. “When I spoke to them after the competition they told me it was the best video they had ever produced and were proud of what

they accomplished” says coordinator Curtis Moen.

The girls won the Gold medal and now advance to the National Skills Competition in Halifax which will be held on May 28-29.

“I would like to thank the entire Saints Skills Team for all their hard work preparing for the

competition. They did an excellent job representing their school and gave it their all at the competition. Many of the competitors are only in grade 10 or 11, so it will be exciting to see what they can do in the years ahead” says Curtis Moen.

master, their slaves were listed only by gender and age. As a result, my mother’s ancestors prior to 1865 were probably slaves and not freemen.

About 4 years ago, some members of Yorkton and other Genealogical Society strongly suggested that I take a DNA test. I did. It consisted of me spitting into a tube and mailing the results away. It was easy. In the personal identification section of the DNA testing, I did not provide any information about myself about: my parents, my siblings, or my ethnic background.

About 3-4 weeks later my results were emailed to me. The DNA company identified: my ethnic group membership, country of origin, and a list of highly probable persons whose genetic background was identified as being my cousins and how I could contact them. So I began to email some of the names on the list.

One of the cousins on the list emailed me first.

She promised to contact me. About 4 months later

she phoned. She lives in North Carolina, USA. She spoke of lots of relatives and ancestors. We spent many hours on the phone trying to match our relatives. I was thrilled!

Several years after I sent my results away for DNA testing, my identical twin sister who lives in the USA, decided to submit her results for DNA testing. In her information to the DNA testing company, she did not mention anything about having a twin sister. Nor did she state her ethnic group membership or anything about her background.

When my sister received her results, she immediately contacted me. The DNA testing results, identified her as either having already submitted results several years earlier or having an identical twin sister named Doris Maben.

This news shocked me. I said, “oh no, we’ve been busted!”.

We both had a good laugh about the results.

Her DNA results were similar to mine.

I breathed a “sigh of relief” as the findings did indicate some credibility with my test results.

In early April, 2019, while I was in the USA, my sister and I visited a cousin as identified from the DNA testing. In this visit, we socialized and discussed our ancestors.

Our cousin introduced us to other cousins. In the near future, we plan to visit more of our cousins The next meeting of the Yorkton Genealogical Society will be May 14, 2019 (Tuesday), in the History Room of the Yorkton Public Library at 7 pm.

If you are interested in family history and would like to meet other people with similar interests please join us. We can provide tips to help you get started on your family history quest. Or, we can help you “break down a brick wall - genealogical barrier”.

Production values add much to game There are games that are aesthetically pleasing.

There are games where the components are outstanding.

Those two attributes have never come together in a more outstanding fashion that with the game Wu Wei: Journey of the Changing Path.

So a big congrats goes out to publisher Gray Wolf Games who cut not corners in putting the components together.

The art is beautiful.

Most components are chunky wooden ones, many that fit into a board that has recessed locations for the wooden pieces to fit.

Small tokens still have artwork on them, and coloured-coded bags to hold them.

The box insert is equally amazing with everything fitting in neatly for storage.

So on the nice to look at scale, Wu Wei is off the charts.

The game has a rather unique flavour, one you feel comes from some

philosophical place in the mind of the designer Justin Waggle.

“I started my martial arts journey at the Taoist Institute in Los Angeles.

They took me in with open arms and started teaching me the mysterious arts of Kung Fu, Tai Chi Chuan, and Chi Kung.

I was inspired by the ordered nature of everything we were doing and, in an effort to make sense of this new world, I began studying in earnest.

“One morning about two years into training, I woke up with an idea for a board game. Like martial arts or Taoism, this was not a direction I had ever seriously considered. I think the idea for this game came to me so I could introduce people to the important lessons I had the fortune to receive from Sijo Carl Totton.

“I’m hoping people playing Wu Wei: Journey of the Changing Path will have their own unique experiences and be inspired to learn, create, adapt, and share. Above

THE MEEPLE GUILD (Yorkton) meeple.guild@gmail.com all, I hope the game will give folks an opportunity to become one with the Tao and experience the wonder of effortless action. Remember to play wu wei!” he wrote in the note from the designer in the rules book.

“Wu Wei: Journey of the Changing Path is a strategy game that embraces the universal concept of the Tao (the way). This game is deeply rooted in Chinese philosophy martial arts strategy and carries with it the concepts of yin and yang, the four seasons, chi (energy), and the eight directions,” details Board Game Geek.

To win, a player must collect the five animal

cards from the masters around the board, and then return both his master and his student to the center before the other players do.

There are interestingly three levels to the game.

“The Initiate Level is meant for new players.

This level focuses on collecting animal cards, harnessing the power of chi, and bidding for first player rights. At this level, you will learn how to move with the seasons, build walls, and cycle through the five elements. This is the beginner level. Do not skip this level if this is your first time playing Wu Wei.” Then there in the

Master Level. It “is meant for players ready to graduate from being initiates. This level introduces cultivating chi and balancing the dynamic nature of yin and yang. At this level, you also have to weigh the benefits of moving one character versus the other. This is the standard level of play for Wu Wei.” An Emperor Level allows for a sixth player, lower levels two-to-five and is for advanced players seeking additional challenges. “This level introduces a formidable new force: a player controlled emperor. As the game progresses, the emperor grows more difficult to overcome. The other players must slow the emperor’s progress and avoid conscription.”

Rules are also included for solo play which does add greatly to the versatility of the game.

The game play doesn’t quite live up to the outstanding look and feel of the game, standards which are admittedly very high. But the game

A19

is still very solid, and with higher levels to explore, the potential to find underlying depth certainly exists.

Pride Week is important for everybody

It’s Pride Week in Yorkton, you can tell because there’s a big rainbow stretching across the street by YRHS, along with a wide variety of events happening over the week. It’s a big week for the LGBTQ+ community in the area, but I think it’s a big week for everyone, and Pride should be celebrated even by people who, on first appearance, don’t identify by any of the above letters.

For example, on the face of it I’m just a man who plans on marrying a woman, that’s not L, G, B, T, Q or plus. But then let’s go back to how we met. I was at a new year’s gathering where a gay friend was introducing us all to his new boyfriend.

Luckily for me, that new boyfriend had a friend he invited out, and months later I started dating her.

Luckily for him, that new boyfriend worked out

well and they’re now husbands.

It wasn’t that long ago that loving couple couldn’t have officially tied the knot and became husbands. It wasn’t even that long ago when my friend felt comfortable telling people about his sexuality, it took him a lot of courage to just come out to his friends. Some people still have difficulty coming out to their family. I know people who are in committed same-sex relationships, raising two young cats with their partner, who have had a great deal of difficulty telling their parents or grandparents, because they’re afraid of the reaction.

The fear which often surrounds sexual and gender diversity is why we need Pride. It’s the fear of the LGBTQ+ kids who are hiding because they don’t know how peo-

Thinking I do with words... ple around them will react. It’s the fear of people who aren’t who don’t understand how someone could be attracted to someone of the same gender, or are even transgender. It helps dispel that fear, because at the end of the day, we’re all just regular people with regular needs and desires, and it’s worth celebrating the many ways we’re different.

Events like this week are part of the reason why progress has been made. People who are out and proud in the com-

munity when it was dangerous to be so were the ones who paved the way for everyone that came

after them. They’re the reason why a modern blockbuster could have a scene where a man talks about the first date he went on after losing his husband. They’re the ones who have paved the way for it to be regarded as normal and healthy to accept sexual and gender diversity. It’s Pride and events like it that have helped it all become normal and accepted.

Ideally, in the future, there is no fear. People

Pride is important because it’s a way for people to be open and proud in their community. For everyone else, it’s important because it’s a way to see people open and proud and see that it’s okay and they don’t have to be afraid.
