Alexandra Lazarowich swept the evening winning Best of Festival for her film ‘Fast Horse’.
Chistopher Triffo of Wavelength Productions accepted the award for Best of Saskatchewan for their CityTV series, ‘Bridging Borders’.
Golden Sheaf Awards handed-out By Cory Carlick Staff Writer The Yorkton Film Festival Gala took place Saturday night, and the competition for the coveted Golden Sheaf award
was stiff. Dominating the awards this year was Fast Horse, whose director, Alexandra Lazarowich, clinched the The Best of Festival award. “It feels really incredible,”
said Lazarowich. “In the first scene of our episode, we travel to Yorkton, [and] bought horses -- from a guy just outside of Yorkton. “We’ve come full circle filming here, having no idea how
big the film would get, and we’re back here winning the Best Of [at] Yorkton. It’s really crazy.” The Best of Saskatchewan award was taken by the CityTV series Bridging Borders,
produced by Wavelength Entertainment. Wavelength hopes to sell the show internationally after its initial broadcast on CityTV. “It’s a team effort,” principal Chris Triffo, said.
More background on roundabouts By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer For the third meeting of Yorkton Council discussion about what to do at the intersection of Mayhew Avenue and Darlington Street dominated the agenda. City administration began the discussion by providing Council with newly researched information regarding roundabouts, primarily in other Saskatchewan cities “During further discussion at the May 6 regular Council meeting, several comments/questions arose regarding Saskatoon and Regina pertaining to roundabouts,” began René Richard, Director of Engineering with the City as the intersection discussion was again launched. Richard said after the last meeting it was clear Council sought more information on roundabouts. “Following the meeting, Administration conducted further research. It was discovered that there was a new school facility in Saskatoon that had a roundabout

This facility houses both Catholic and Public elementary schools as well as a daycare space making it a fairly good comparable to the proposed Yorkton location,” he said. “Administration reached out to both schools to get feedback about how the roundabout was operating and if there have been any safety concerns, especially regarding pedestrians. No response was received from the public school, but correspondence was received from the Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools. “The Manager of
Facilities and Capital Projects for the Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools indicated that, although they have several facilities in close proximity to roundabouts, facility Administration requested feedback on the facility that is likely the closest to a roundabout. The comments received advised that the roundabout seems to have struck a balance between traffic flow and safety and to date, there have been absolutely no concerns with the operation of the roundabout specific to safety.” Administration also reached out to the City of Saskatoon in an effort

to acquire more information regarding the new roundabout. The questions asked were: • Was the school proximity taken into consideration when designing this roundabout? • Are there any special provisions with traffic or pedestrians for roundabouts because of the schools that would be different for other roundabouts? • Are you aware of any issues that have a come up relating to safety, especially pedestrian? • Has vehicle speed
been an issue due to the roundabout versus a 4-way stop? “A Senior Transportation Engineer for the City of Saskatoon responded to the request for information. She indicated that for two of the six new P3 schools sites in Saskatoon, roundabouts were a part of the approved neighborhood concept plans, which took the school locations into account. At these two school sites, no speeding or pedestrian safety concerns have been raised. They feel that the round-

With new information on a possible roundabout at the intersection of Mayhew and Darlington, (see related story this issue), Yorkton Council again debated the issue at some length Monday. Councillor Randy Goulden said she actually spent time watching at the roundabout on Gladstone South in the city both at 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. Having seen traffic and pedestrians using the

abouts are working very well in the school zones as they allow school buses and parents to “U-turn” safely and that roundabouts generally reduce speed not increase it. As an additional note, there have been speeding concerns at the other P3 schools which do not have a roundabout in the school zone. In both instances where the roundabout was used, there are no special design features to further reduce speed
roundabout she said, “I feel confident watching that the safety of pedestrians, in my mind, is well-addressed.” Goulden said she also observed a roundabout just outside a school zone near Saskatoon, suggesting she saw that it “does calm the traffic.” Coun. Aaron Kienle, who was supportive of a roundabout at the intersection, said he remained in favour, but appreciated the new information administration had brought forward. In particular, the idea of including

such as speed bumps,” said Richard. The next call went out to Regina. “Administration also reached out to the City of Regina to inquire on why they do not have any roundabouts. The Manager of Development Engineering responded. While there are currently no formal roundabouts, there is a traffic circle on the university campus. The City of Regina is not opposed to the use of roundabouts and there is no primary safety reason why they have not been utilized yet. They feel there hasn’t been the “right fit” yet, but the City of Regina will be utilizing roundabouts in the new Coopertown Neighbourhood, however with the growth rate slowing it may be some time before construction occurs,” said Richard. In terms of safety, Richard said round-
abouts are good for pedestrians. “There is much evidence to suggest a roundabout is a safe option for pedestrian due to the splitter islands which provide a refuge and reduce the length of the crossing ... However, other traffic calming methods could be utilized if Council wishes. Speed bumps could be constructed, although they may pose other problems such as noise, maintenance and access for emergency services. Another option would be to use solar powered pedestrian crossing lights similar to those approved in the 2019 and 2020 capital budget for a few other crosswalk locations,” he said. The estimate for these is between $15,000 and $25,000 each. “The SGI Special Committee on Traffic Safety recommended a Photo Speed
“There is much evidence to suggest a roundabout is a safe option for pedestrian due to the splitter islands which provide a refuge and reduce the length of the crossing ... “ — René Richard, Director of Engineering with the City Enforcement (PSE) pilot project to help reduce speed-related accidents in the Province. Photo radar units were established in Saskatoon, Regina, Moose-Jaw and Prince Albert. The pilot program has demonstrated success in reduction of collisions and recently SGI has indicated that a portion of the photo speed enforcement fine revenue will be pooled and grants provided to municipalities for local safety initiatives. The City of Yorkton was successful in receiving $27,000
in 2019 and intends to apply for more funds in the second intake. These proceeds could be used for pedestrian crosswalk lights at the roundabout,” added Richard. Richard said there were several outcomes that could occur at the meeting Monday. At the last Council meeting (May 6, 2019), Councillor Randy Goulden submitted to the City Clerk a written notice of intent to move reconsideration of the resolutions made at the April 15, 2019 Council
Meeting regarding the roundabout at this May 27, 2019 Regular Council meeting. Order of Business puts this item at the end of the meeting under “Notice of Motion” for Council’s consideration, he said. With another look at the issue Richard told Council there were several possible outcomes in terms of what they might chose to do. The action that could transpire was as follows: • A majority vote of Council to reconsider April 15, 2019 round-
of me,” she reiterated. For Quinn Haider the addition of pedestrian lights was the difference, suggesting it was the compromise to keeping children safe, and traffic flowing smoothly, He said it was a solution that would allow him to “put my head on my pillow at night” and sleep well. Mayor Bob Maloney held to his position that a roundabout was the safest option. When Council finally got around to a vote it was a rather involved process. The first motion was to approve Goulden’s
reconsideration resolution regarding the roundabout made at the April 15, meeting of Council. It passed with Councillors Mitch Hippsley, Darcy Zaharia and Chyz opposed. With the issue back for reconsideration Goulden moved a motion outlined by René Richard, Director of Engineering with the City in his report to Council which stated, “that Council direct Administration to authorize the completion of the design for the intersection of Mayhew Avenue and Darlington Street East as a roundabout, with
about motions. • Then the principle motion regarding the roundabout is on the table and if it is desirous of Council to include crosswalk lights or other amenities (speed bumps) as part of the project when it goes to tender, an amendment would have to be moved to the principle motion to include these things. • A vote would occur on the amendment to the principle motion. • The principle motion would then be voted on either as amended or as originally put, depending on Council’s vote on any amendments. • The original resolution from the April 15, 2019 meeting regarding the tendering of four options for the intersection would then be rescinded. It was then Council’s turn to again discuss the proposal (see related story this issue).
RECONSIDERS Continued from Page A1
pedestrian lighting was a positive development, he said. However, Coun. Ken Chyz was still not sold on the roundabout. “I’m not saying the administrative report is wrong,” he said, but added he still was not believing a roundabout “is safer than a four-way stop.” Chyz also cautioned that there are reports that can be found to support both sides of the debate, saying he found one online, although he did not state the source that said roundabouts were not safe for pedes-
“I am convinced by the information in front of me.” — Councillor Randy Goulden trians. All Councillors suggested they had received significant feedback from the public. In Chyz’s case he said most were opposed to the roundabout. “Should their feelings not be taken into consideration?” he asked.
Goulden countered there are certainly those who have voiced support for the roundabout, including a presentation by the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce at the last regular meeting of Council. “I am convinced by the information in front
the work to be included in the reconstruction tender for Mayhew Avenue and Darlington Street, and further that Administration be directed to include installation of pedestrian crosswalk lighting by the roundabout in the project.” The motion passed with Councillors Mitch Hippsley, Darcy Zaharia and Chyz again opposed. Then a motion to rescind the motion from April was brought, again passing with Councillors Mitch Hippsley, Darcy Zaharia and Chyz opposed.
Roundabout decision good one: Chamber The Yorkton Chamber of Commerce commends Yorkton City Council for approving a plan to construct a roundabout at the intersection of
Darlington Street and Mayhew Avenue. At the Council meeting May 27, Council passed a motion to proceed with the construction of a roundabout
with the provision that crosswalk lights and other features designed to “calm” traffic be added to the tender. President Mike

Stackhouse is pleased that Council made this decision. “Darlington and Mayhew are main arterial roadways in Yorkton and traffic counts have demonstrated that 4 way stop signs no longer handle the traffic properly at that intersection”, he said. “Installing a roundabout at the time the roadways are under construction is a long term, cost effective method for handling present traffic and increased future traffic.” Stackhouse noted that it is the north east area of the city which will see further development
resulting in higher traffic volumes on both Mayhew and Darlington. Juanita Polegi, Executive Director of the Chamber was in attendance at the meeting. She indicated the discussion about the roundabout was one of the liveliest and most impassioned she has witnessed in Council Chambers. “The discussion about the roundabout engaged many residents and in turn, they contacted Council members. Safety was of the uppermost concern of each of the councillors and many of the electorate,” she

said. “The addition of extra safety features to the roundabout ultimately helped the motion to pass.” Construction of the roadwork on Mayhew Avenue was scheduled to begin in 2019 but has been delayed until 2020 as Council explored the cost of the roundabout. The Chamber maintains that the extra cost, estimated to be $180,000 (prior to the addition of the extra safety features), is money well spent as the roundabout is an investment in the city’s future growth. The Yorkton Chamber of Commerce is “the voice of business in Yorkton” and represents over 470 members.

Brayden Ottenbreit Close Cuts for Cancer raises nearly $20,000 By Cory Carlick Staff Writer If you needed a haircut, wanted it to go to a great cause, and happened to be at Parkland Mall this weekend, the annual Brayden Ottenbreit Close Cuts for Cancer was there to oblige. Leone Ottenbreit of Close Cuts confirmed that, as of writing the Sunday tally wasn’t in just yet -- but Saturday’s numbers certainly were. Donations on the first day of the weekend alone totalled an amazing $17 587. The number will be quite a bit higher once Sunday’s numbers are tallied. These funds go toward cancer research. Everybody had their own reasons for donat-
ing. A loved one, a friend, family. Robert Mus is one of them. “I have family and friends with the disease. I’ve been doing it for years now. It’s a good cause.” “You know I think every year we have different people taking part because different people get diagnosed,” said Greg Ottenbreit, co-organizer and MLA for Yorkton. “This next group coming up has one of those unique -- but not so unique -- stories, unfortunately.” There were plenty of them. “Dennis works with Scott Fitzimmons. Scott’s a really good friend of mine. I decided to shave my hair this year to sup-
port Scott as well. They work at The Rock 98.5 in Yorkton, and Scott’s two little boys here are going to get a little bit of their hair clipped off,” Ottenbreit continued. “Graham’s his brother in law, so they’re all going to get trimmed together. I guess there’s five of us here this year for Scott! “Scott, like I say, is a father to these two, and a good friend to many. He got diagnosed about two weeks ago. “I was actually working in Regina, and he sent me a text and asked me if I had time to talk. So, I picked up my phone and we were chatting, and he told me he was on his way in to Regina in an ambulance because his blood counts were that low. “Within a couple days,
he was diagnosed with ALL, and the central line on another day. He was on chemotherapy and treatment within two or three days, so he’s going right through the middle of his first fairly strong course of chemotherapy. “He’s got a really good attitude, and a lot of people praying and supporting him including this group here today. We all have people we’re here supporting. We ask that you keep them all in your thoughts and your prayers.” With that, the buzzcuts commenced.

Phone: We recently received some great trade news on the steel trading front. Now, if only the news could be as good on the canola and oil trading front. Unfortunately, solutions to these issues may take considerably tougher to fix. The good news is that U.S.’s 25-per-cent duty on Canadian steel and 10-per-cent duty on Canadian that was imposed by President Donald Trump nearly a year ago have now been lifted came as welcomed relief. This is very good news right here in Saskatchewan. While aluminum is more of an issue in Quebec where low hydro electric rates make its production more feasible, steel is an issue that goes well beyond the Hamilton area. Regina’s Evraz Steel — the old Ipsco that that started out as Tommy Douglas Crown corporation and later became a successful privatized enterprise — has long been a major contributor to Regina’s economy and the Saskatchewan economy as whole. “It’s a weight lifted off their shoulders,” said Mike Day, president of USW 5890 after hearing of the news of Trump’s lifting of sanctions. “It’s less stress. Everybody’s smiling.” This was a hard-fought win that required the federal government to apply retaliatory measures on U.S. steel and aluminum and other key U.S. exports from states that happened to have Republican Senators supportive of Trump. All in all, it was $16.6-billion in Canadian countermeasures against the Americans. But perhaps the biggest factor was the need for Trump to secure his much-vaunted United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). While the agreement was signed, it was not ratified — largely because of the Canada’s legitimate frustrations over these steel tariffs that were applied over the paper-thin notion of American national security. It has been a year-long and often bitter fight with what’s become a very difficult Trump administration. Truly, dealing with the Americans has not been easy for Canada or any nation. But as tough to get these steel tariffs removed, other problems may be even tougher. We likely have a bigger problem with China over canola and now other products. And then there are the problems of our own making. As bad as Trump and the protectionist Republicans have been, we are still dealing with a democracy that applies democratic principles to things like trade agreements. Moreover, with the Canada-U.S. economy as integrated as it is, it was always exceedingly difficult for Americans to separate interests. Evraz, for example, has steel plants on both sides of the border. Steel for vehicles crosses the 49th parallel multiple times before becoming a car is finished. Dealing with China is far more difficult and complex. As was addressed in this space earlier this month, of the 20.3 million tonnes of canola that Canada grew in 2018, 10.9 million tonnes came from Saskatchewan. And about 40 per cent of that canola was exported to China that purchases about 60 per cent of all canola imports throughout the world. And while Premier Scott Moe has called for reciprocal trade action that proved successful in the U.S. steel dispute, there is not really the same opportunity with the Chinese. We have a massive trade deficit with China in the neighbourhood of $49 billion a year. Let’s give credit where credit is due and respect that the federal Liberal government did a good job of limiting the steel trade war. Notwithstanding Conservative Opposition leader Andrew Scheer’s criticism, it’s hard to imagine how we could have fared much better. But let us also accept the federal government must do more to firm up trade relationships. We must focus on getting all products — including oil and gas — to market. We need to win these battles wherever and whenever we can. And smart governments try to win these wars before they start. Murray Mandryk has been covering provincial politics for over 22 years.

Take community pride in Pride Week P
ride Week has just been held in the city, and while it was a week dedicated to raising and awareness of the sexual diversity within the city. But the week should also be one where our community takes a certain level of pride in being supportive of the initiative. That support started with Yorkton Council being unanimous in proclaiming the week at a meeting earlier this year. That might not seem like a major thing, but not every community has municipal leadership willing to be accepting of the diversity Pride Week is designed to support. But, Yorkton has grown as a community in many ways through the years, a situation noted in the presentation requested the proclamation from Council. “As new life comes to our community with the first days of spring, we need to celebrate just how far we have come in the last few years with regards to pride,” noted a letter requesting the week from Laura Budd with Moose Jaw and Saskatchewan Pride organizations. “To celebrate the members of our families, community, workplaces, that are gender and sexually diverse. To create space for those that have often not had a place or voice to bring their whole selves to the table. We live in a hopeful forward thinking city that believes in being a safe, secure place in the world.” Budd also noted other local efforts
that have progressed the position of sexual diversity locally. She noted some local schools have started GSA’s (Gay Straight Alliance’s), and we are seeing more families, homes and workplaces having discussion and taking training to be more inclusive of the LGBT members of our community. While there are still hurdles to overcome for the LGBT community in terms of acceptance, progress is being made. For example drivers on Gladstone Ave. have been seeing something a bit brighter at one of the crosswalks. A rainbow stretches across the street, painted to commemorate the start of Pride Week in Yorkton. While there were burnout tire marks left by someone suggests there are still a few Neanderthal minds out there, the crosswalk is still a valuable sign of a broader growth in awareness. The same can be said for the raising of the Pride flag at Yorkton Regional High School last week, and the Pride Week parade held Sunday with many in attendance. That is why the week is important, offered Budd in the letter to Council writing “It is through this celebration and visibility that we with privilege to be ourselves, be free and openly whole, and create this space for those struggling to understand, those who worry about the loss of their shelter, food or support for sharing their truth, their uniqueness.” In that, Yorkton can take pride in generally being supportive of the efforts of Pride Week.

Pride parade has biggest turnout in Yorkton history By Cory Carlick Staff Writer The Pride Parade kicked off this weekend with a huge turnout. The overcast and, at times, rainy weather couldn’t dampen the spirits of anyone in the parade or supportive onlookers. If anything, it made the rainbow colours all the more vivid. Haas Nissan provided a lead vehicle for the parade. Laura Budd of Pride Yorkton couldn’t have been more pleased with the turnout. “The Pride Parade is going to culminate the whole week that we’ve had of events. It’s just an incredible way to show the visibility in our community of the LGBTQ people that live in and around the area, and to show we’re here, we’re queer, and we’re really happy to be part of Yorkton and to contribute to the city. The rainbow sidewalk was the opening ceremonies. “What
visibility!
The Yorkton Pride parade had its highest attendance yet this year, with a full slate of activities rounding out Pride Week. From barbeques to world-class drag queen performances at the Masonic Lodge, fun was had by all. Everyone drove up and down that street. Even if they just heard about, people were driving up and down the street just to see it. People were picking up the story all across Canada that Yorkton now has a Pride crosswalk, and it put
Yorkton on the map in a good way. “It’s going to be our biggest parade ever. “This afternoon we had the parade at 11:30, a barbeque in Shaw Park at noon, at 1:00 LJ and the House of Nonsense are going to start playing
live music in the park. What better way to spend a day in Yorkton! Then, this evening at 8:00 at the Masonic Lodge, we’ve got a drag show with performers from all across Saskatchewan coming to put on a world class show for us.”
Council looks at 2018 year-end By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yorkton Council had a look at the preliminary year-end financial numbers for 2018 at its regular meeting Monday. Audit work on the 2018 year end is still progressing, explained Ashley Stradeski, Director of Finance with the city. With that, however he said the city was not expecting significant changes from this point on in the numbers, and have come to the preliminary estimate of our 2018 year-end departmental surplus / deficits, The key number showed the City of Yorkton had a small surplus in 2018, at $139,832. Stradeski said as in previous years, Administration recommended transferring 50 per cent of the surplus to reserves on a per department basis depending
on whether each department had net departmental savings. Further it was recommended withdrawing funds from reserves to cover departmental deficits. By continuing with this strategy, we encourage accountability of all departments and avoid the typical “use it or lose it” philosophy in government spending, said Stradeski. As the financial audit is not yet finalized; these are preliminary numbers. Administration expected to have a final report brought to Council in the coming meetings, with a recommendation to transfer funds to the rainy day reserve once the audit is finalized. That said, based on the preliminary numbers had Administration recommending $140,000 would go to the Rainy Day Fund.
There were numerous variances, but overall revenue was above budget due to interest on accounts and penalties on taxes, and some departmental expenses were higher than budget, resulting in the net surplus, explained Stradeski. Of particular note Tax & Grant Revenue saw a $246,515 surplus. Stradeski said tax collected was higher than anticipated, with some growth with new properties, as well as fewer than budgeted losses. In addition, excess interest and penalties income of $511,034 also occurred with tax penalties higher than budget significantly, as well as interest income. On the negative side Crown surcharges were $435,718 less than budgeted with the SaskEnergy grant not taking effect until April 1, thus the City
missed out on the highest usage months of January, February and March, explained Stradeski. Protective Services saw $80,058 deficit, and Stradeski said it was recommended to withdraw $30,000 from fire reserves to offset some of that deficit. The deficit included overtime incurred by fire fighters being far higher than budgeted, however retroactive pay on union agreement less than budget which somewhat offset this, said Stradeski. Maintenance costs at the fire hall due to boiler issues also exceeded budget. RCMP costs were under budget, with remaining to reserves to cover future equipment upgrades. In the Community Development, Parks & Recreation department there was a modest deficit of $11,643, but it was
still recommended there be a deposit $20,000 to outdoor recreation reserves. Parks was under budget by just over $41,000 due to staffing efficiencies. Deer Park had lower green fees and revenue of $32,000 and increased club house costs of $5,000, resulting in it being over budget. The Water Park and Gallagher Centre had a $171,282 deficit, and Stradeski said it was recommended the City withdraw $75,000 from reserves to offset part of that. The water park revenues were $30,000 less than budget. Hockey rentals were undercut by ice prices in Melville this year, resulting in a deficit to budget on revenues for approximately $15,000. Far fewer Christmas time rentals compared
to the past, leaving revenues short $36,000 for events. Gallagher maintenance expenses due to ice plant costs as well as emergency fire suppression repairs. Additional costs incurred were due to unexpected maintenance items, some relating to ice plant issues, others with furnace and other maintenance. In the Engineering and Asset Management area there was $112,650 surplus, and it was recommended a deposit $50,000 into reserves be made. The project manager position unfilled for half the year, resulting in savings in salaries for $50,000. In addition, the snow removal contract for city hall was not fulfilled, which resulted in no costs.

Council sets abatements for taxes By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yorkton Council approved a number of exemptions and abatements of taxation for a number of properties at its regular meeting Monday. All properties are taxed on the basis of assessment, with tax notices sent out at the end of May, explained Ashley Stradeski, Director of Finance with the City. However, a Council may reduce property taxes or exempt any property from taxation in whole or in part with respect to a financial
year. In that regard, various city policies provide tax incentives that require Council approval, said Stradeski. These incentives must receive Council approval on an annual basis. The first issue revolved around an abatement for hotel properties in the city. “In 2019, there occurred a mid-revaluation change in the assessment model used to value hotel properties. Many hotel properties in Yorkton have appealed their assessed values over the last number of years, with some
success,” detail a report circulated to Council. “This model change has drastically increased the assessed values of some of these hotels, literally the year after they had their values decreased by appeal. “Based on the lack of continuity for hotel valuations, starting with large increases based on the 2017 revaluation, then subsequent appeals reductions and ongoing appeals, we propose that the 2019 taxes for these hotels be abated to the 2018 amounts plus the 2.9 percent increase in taxation that was approved
for the city and other taxpayers.” Stradeski said the suggested move, that was approved, created some fairness, as the City waits for more numbers to emerge. “This will allow us to observe the outcomes of the ongoing appeals without putting further city funds at risk of loss, as the losses are eventually borne by the taxpayers in subsequent years. Further, it provides consistent taxation both for the city from a revenue standpoint and for the taxpayers,” said the report. In another abate-
ment, “the public and separate school divisions abate the properties listed in the bylaw in different capacities. The SK Abilities Council located at 162 Ball Road, and the SIGN Building located at 83 North Street are not abated by the City of Yorkton as the Municipality, as these properties are taxed at a reduced rate under a different subclass provided for in Bylaw No. 3/2019 which was passed on May 6, 2019.” Another example related to “an agreement with Harvest Meats, the city agrees to phase-in any increase in taxation
as a result of increase assessment due to expansion, for each and every expansion of the Harvest lands over a five year period. The last expansion/addition was added to the assessment roll in 2016. The 25 percent abatement in 2019 is year four of the expansion. The expansion/addition will be fully taxed in 2020.” Other abatements were related to properties developed under the Rental Housing Incentive Program. The total abatements for the municipality was $58,697.

In conjunction with the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association (SPRA), the City of Yorkton has been promoting JRPM for many years. This is the time to celebrate the return of summer, promote outdoor physical activities, and gather neighbours together to enhance a sense of community,” explained Taylor Morrison, Recreation Services Manager with the City at the regular meeting of Council Monday. Morrison said marking the month helps promote activity. “By proclaiming June as Recreation and Parks Month, Yorkton will help to recognize the impact that employees and volunteers have on the many recreation and parks opportunities that we all use and enjoy. Elected officials, recreation and parks professionals, and community members can all promote the vital contributions of recreation and parks services to the personal, social, environmental, and economic well-being of our province,” he said. Some of the benefits as outlined by the Saskatchewan Parks and
Recreation Association include: • Generating economic activity through social growth and community pride. • Promote personal development and social activity throughout the community. • Grow strong families and health communities. • Reduce the cost of health care by promoting healthy, active lifestyles. • Improve the quality of life for residents through recreation and parks events and services. • Support ecological environments by promoting the importance of parks and greenspaces. • Connect people to nature and the outdoors. • Attract tourists and new residents to the community.

Council Meeting Monday, June 17, 2019 at 5:00 p.m. BYLAW FAST FACTS - Garage Sale Signs
Did you know? The Sign Bylaw No. 16/2003 states no advertisement – including garage sale signs or real estate signs can be located in a public street, sidewalk, boulevard or centre median, or on a public tree, sign or light pole. No advertisement can be placed as to obstruct free and clear vision of vehicular traffic. Why was this bylaw created? Advertisements attached to traffic signs, centre medians, boulevards, etc. are distracting to drivers and are a safety concern. Advertising signs placed in a public place can cause obstructions for pedestrians or City staff tasked with maintaining these areas.

U.S. subsidies muddy trade further The impact of government interference in agriculture markets is most certainly in full swing again. With China flexing its political muscles by using trade as a chip in the game, counter measures were naturally going to happen. The United States certainly reacted in a not unexpected way recently announcing a major subsidy program the government south of the border is pointedly stating is a reaction to what China has done. The United States Department of Agriculture will implement US$16 billion in programs to pay out farmers hurt by what it
says are retaliatory tariffs on U.S. agricultural goods and other trade disruptions. While farmers here might have some sympathy for the idea of a government bolstering farm income in the face of political trade disruptions, it ultimately just muddies the water more when supply and demand should be the determining factor in trade. While subsidies, primarily those spent by the United States and European Union through the years have hurt the free flow of trade internationally, and impacted farm revenues in countries such as Canada, the world has
Agriculture THIS WEEK
Calvin Daniels not learned from that history, and we appear headed to another period of disruptions as governments spat and use trade as a tool to get what they want. The situation will be impactful on agriculture moving forward, at least in the short term. However, the bigger impact, at least on the 2019 crop on the
Canadian Prairies might turn out to once again by the whims of Mother Nature. Weather remains the biggest wild card in farming as neither farmers themselves, nor governments either, can do anything to impact the weather. For much of the Prairies moisture conditions at the time seeding
started a few weeks ago were tight at best. There is a limited reserve for new crops to draw on. The generally dry spring has certainly allowed farmers to get the crop in in a rather expedient fashion, with seeding ahead of the five-year average. The May 14-20 Crop Report from the Saskatchewan Ag department suggested “seeding progress is quickly advancing across the province, thanks to very few disruptions in the weather and relatively good seeding conditions. Seventy-three per cent of the crop is now seeded, up from 38 per cent last week and well ahead of the five-
year average (2014-2018) of 59 per cent for this time of year. Crops are slowly emerging, but are mostly in good condition despite the lack of moisture.” The key point being lack of moisture, as noted “provincially, cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 44 per cent adequate, 40 per cent short and 16 per cent very short.” With a dry summer being suggested by at least some long range forecasts, the impact on farming may well trump anything governments do in the next few months. Calvin Daniels is Editor with Yorkton This Week.
Education in connecting with farm past By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Each spring the The Rama Performing Arts and Leisure Society (PALS) hosts a field day where the planting of a crop is still carried out using horses. This year’s event was held May 18 and 19, with events including rope making, skidding, stone boat races, and chore team obstacle driving. Twylla Newton raises Clydesdale horses just south of Yorkton. She said the Rama event is a great way to connect with the past. “It is a really unique opportunity to work with the horse drawn farming equipment that was used not so long ago,” she told Yorkton This Week. “The fellow teamsters that
have a vast experience with actually using this horse drawn equipment are so helpful to those of us wanting to try it out. I only play farming with my team for a day, and I am beat! To imagine that that is what happened day after day is exhausting!” Kristina Just is a realitively new teamster from the Orkney area. She said an event such as the one in Rama is about learning in her case. “Attending events such as Rama ... It is a place to learn from very experienced teamsters who have been working with horses all of their lives,” she said. “These people have become great friends so it is a place were we can visit and share stories as well.”
The key lesson is that as the driver you are very much working with the team of horses you are driving, said Just. “Working with horses, the team become an extension of their driver,” she said. “Working with them is like working with a family member or co-worker. “I find it challenging, rewarding, relaxing and a very healthy way to live. My teams are used on the farm to help feed cattle. I do it because I am blessed to be able to and it is fun.” Newton said the group at Rama, does a great job of preserving a part of our heritage. “I’m very thankful that the PALS organization in Rama puts on this field day event,” she said.

Seeding advancing at a brisk pace Seeding progress is quickly advancing across the province, thanks to very few disruptions in the weather and relatively good seeding conditions. Seventy-three per cent of the crop is now seeded, up from 38 per cent last week and well ahead of the five-year average (2014-18) of 59 per cent for this time of year. Crops are slowly emerging, but are mostly in good condition despite the lack of moisture. The southwest region
is the most advanced, with 84 per cent of the crop in the ground. Seventy-one per cent is seeded in the southeast, while 68 per cent of the crop is seeded in the east central region, 75 per cent in the west central region, 62 per cent in the north east and 68 per cent in the north west. Eighty per cent of the spring wheat, 84 per cent of the durum, 93 per cent of the lentils, 94 per cent of the peas, 63 per cent of the canola, 66 per cent of the barley and 55 per cent of the
flax have now been seeded. Rainfall was reported this past week throughout the province, ranging from trace amounts to 23 mm in the Radville area. The majority of the province remains in need of rain to replenish the topsoil, as warm temperatures and strong winds continue to dry fields. Provincially, cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 44 per cent adequate, 40 per cent short and 16 per cent very short. Topsoil moisture on hay land
and pasture is rated as 36 per cent adequate, 41 per cent short and 23 per cent very short. Hay and pasture growth has been slow due to little rainfall. Farmers are busy seeding and controlling weeds when winds are calm. A complete, printable version of the Crop Report is available online at www. saskatchewan.ca/crop-report.

Aerial photos a look at past farmsteads By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Aerial photographs have been taken of Canadian farmsteads for decades. The resulting accumulation of negatives and contact sheets still exists, meaning the material is both an historic resource, and a place for families to glimpse their agrarian past. Kim Bessette of Homestead Aerial Photos Ltd. explained he and his wife bought the assets of the company that has been doing aerial photographing of farms across Canada, with a focus on the Prairies in 1993. “Not only did they photograph everywhere … they kept every photo in stock,” he explained. “That’s a library of about one and a half million negatives and proofs.”
Bessette said they have put a lot of time and effort into preserving the material that dates back to 1953, although the material for the local region likely dates back to 1955. The material is still available for people to get a copy of an old photo. In fact June 14 and 15 Homestead Aerial will be in Yorkton at the Parkland Mall with a large selection of material focused on the region. “What we’re going to bring covers a pretty large area,” he said, estimating it will include material taken over an area of about “100 square mile radius of Yorkton.” The Yorkton stop will be a prelude to attending the Canada’s Farm Progress Show in Regina later in June. Bessette said people can stop by and look
through files of about 36 proofs roughly based around land descriptions and can order from what they find. He added the vast majority of material is in black and white, colour not coming into use until the 1980s. He said previous to that anyone wanting colour got a painted black and white picture. While the majority of the collection is of farmyards, Bessette said rural school yards, churches and elevators were often photographed as the airplanes travelled the countryside. That said, not everything was photographed either. “We’re at the mercy of what they shot,” he said. Today Bessette said they still do custom aerial photography of farmsteads, but utilizing a drone rather than a full size aircraft.
Legion honours service with life memberships By Cory Carlick Staff Writer The Legion honoured their own, recognizing the many years of service from Yorkton veterans Comrade Peter Wyatt and Cmrd. Ed St. Pierre.
After the opening ceremonies, the awards were presented, followed by the ceremonial colour guard. Wyatt was characteristically humble. Though honoured to receive the recognition, he was in
shock. “I know the procedure, and of course I said ‘No, I don’t think I’m qualified’, but I’m gonna go and do it -- I didn’t think they’d accept my qualifications. “It happened! So I really need to thank

everyone, and I also want to thank people I have worked with through many years and it was really enjoyable [working with] all our veterans. “One of the things is, when you’re a veteran, when I first got involved in ‘99, [at] the Legion I was carrying the colours, and Mike Mignock was the Sargeant At Arms. We used to go to the schools, and at that time, everybody in the colour party was a war veteran.
“We were always asked to say a few words in front of the class, and I started off saying, ‘Well, I’m not a real veteran,’ because [I felt] it was peace time, and Mike Mignock gave me hell. He said, ‘Hey! You’re not supposed to say that! You are a veteran!’ So I accepted that I’m a veteran, and I’m [honoured] to accept this life membership. I thank you all very much.” Comrade Ed St. Pierre was also humbled.
“I would just like to thank the Legion for my participation, and I’ve been treated well. I’ve enjoyed being a member of the Royal Canadian Legion. I’m quite active in the community, and I was in Regina for a meeting up there. They keep you going! It keeps me active, I guess. I’m always involved and I like being involved. This is why I strive for the betterment of the people in general.”

Sacred Heart High School hosted a student film day as part of the annual Yorkton Film Festival.
Students learn film first-hand By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Student Day has long been part of the Yorkton Film Festival, and it was again held Thursday hosted by Sacred Heart High School in the city. Each year, the Festival focuses on educating youths from across the province by connecting them with content development mentors. The event is a day of handson instructive learning for Yorkton and area students; who spent the day shooting, editing, and learning the finer
points of what it takes to make a film going from storyboard to screen. The hands-on work is carried out under the tutelage of veteran directors, producers, editors, and writers. One of those instructors was Shane Metcalfe with ISEE Motion Picture Company in Saskatoon. Melcalfe said while it is only his second year being involved with Student Day he has long been a supporter of the Yorkton festival having attended his first festival when he was 20, adding he is now 46.
“I just want to support the film industry. I want to see a bigger and better film industry in Saskatchewan,” he said. That is where Metcalfe feels Student Day is an important element of the festival. “It’s showing them, (students) there are options. Not everyone has to work in the resource sector, or agriculture,” he said. Student Day is designed to give participants a taste of the varied carrers connected to the film festival. Students were broken into groups to film a scene
taken from two popular films, Napoleon Dynamite and The Breakfast Club. Students worked on the single scene for the day, the scenes being set up as much as possible as it would if it were an actual movie shoot. Students, based on their areas of interest were assigned specific areas of production: camera, sound, lights, directing, editing, etc. Metcalfe said that is one of the great aspects of the film industry, the diversity of skills needed, from people focused on the business side of film, through to writers, those
behind the camera, and those who act in front of the camera. In general, Metcalfe said students know a lot going into a day like the one in Yorkton. “They’ve watched so many more motion pictures then we saw (as youth),” he said, adding that gives them insights into the industry if they have an interest. Apparently the interest is growing. Metcalfe said this year some 40 students took place in the day. “That’s the highest attendance ever,” he said.
Film focuses on ‘almost famous’ musicians By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The audience grew and grew until more chairs were needed at the Painted Hand Casino to accommodate everyone attending the opening night screening of the Yorkton Film Festival. Those attending were there to see ‘Almost, Almost Famous’ on the big screen. “On a road trip through an alternate universe, where Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison never die, Almost Almost Famous explores the lives of three of the world’s top tribute artists, the cost of borrowed fame and the risk of getting ‘lost in the act’,” details a symnopsis of the film at www.almostalmostfamous.com “Fifty years after trailblazers like Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Jackie Wilson defined music as we know it today; three world-class tribute artists carry on their legacy - but what happens when borrowed fame begins to lose its charm? Can they ever find stardom on their own terms?” Barry Lank, the film’s director, said the film
was initially thought to focus on tour manager Marty Kramer. “I thought he’d make an interesting character,” he explained after the viewing. But when he met the tribute artists Lank, one of Western Canada’s most respected documentary directors and cinematographers, Barry’s credits include producing, directing and shooting over fifty hours of documentary, commercial and informational programming, said he knew the film had to be about them. “These guys were so good, so what does it take to break out,” he said, adding that is a big question, what does it take to become a success in the music business. “It’s luck, it’s management, it’s timing,” said Lank answering his own question, adding talent alone is not enough. In Almost Almost Famous viewers are taken on a musical ride and follows the stories of Texas rockabilly musician Lance Lipinsky as Jerry Lee Lewis, Las Vegas-based R & B singer Bobby Brooks as Jackie Wilson and the
Luanne and Barry Lank, left, the duo behind the documentary ‘Almost, Almost Famous were on-hand for a screening of their film at the Painted Hand Casino last week as part of the Yorkton Film Festival. ‘Elvis from Orlando’, Ted Torres on their ‘Class of ‘59’ cross country road tour, looking at what keeps them hitting the stage in the guise of long gone stars of an earlier era. “From the beer joints of Texas to the Karaoke bars of Honolulu, the film explores how three incredibly talented singers wound up paying the bills as tribute artists. Ted would be happy to play the young Elvis forever but he’s getting older. Lance dreams that
his own band, The Lovers, will make it big one day. And Bobby Brooks finds his aspirations turned on their head with a startling revelation,” details the synopsis. “Who will break out and who will be forced to settle for less? Their intrepid road manager, Marty Kramer, has his work cut out for him as he struggles to keep their feet on the ground, the music centre stage, and the crowds clamouring for more.” The film has some key
moments; Bobby Brooks who performs as Jackie Wilson, learning about his biological father, and Lance Lipinsky who performs as Jerry Lee Lewis attending a major awards show. Lank said such moments were gems that emerged in front of the camera during shooting. “You’ve got to get lucky sometimes when making a film,” he said. Lank added when it came to filming they took a simple approach; “we just shot everything that
moved.” The result of such an approach meant editing was a bear. “We knew we had a lot of good material,” Lank said. “But, carving out the story was tough.” And there were other challenges, in particular acquiring the rights to have the songs being performed used in the film. Those holding the rights to all the Elvis Preseley material said no. Lank said they were afraid if they approved one film with an Elvis impersonator they would be inundated with such requests. That barrier had Lank requesting Ted Torres who performs as Elvis Presley do a gospel number specifically for the film. Most of Jackie Wilson’s material is now under control of the Michael Jackson estate, and again it was not available, at least at a cost they could afford, said Lank. But, in the end the film did get completed, and Lank is proud of the result. “It is one of my favourites, and one of the most difficult. I really like it,” he said.
Yorkton Tribal Council holds art exhibit and VR tour By Cory Carlick Staff Writer The Yorkton Tribal Council, in partnership with the Yorkton Film Festival, held a special indigenous art exhibit at the Gallagher Centre, tying into the festival. A virtual exhibit with a VR headset was also on site for students and interested art enthusiasts could try. “The art gala is an annual event that we started last year with the Yorkton Film Festival,”
said organizer Melissa Antony. “I thought it would be a great opportunity for our YTC events to come in and see some of the films that are being screened at the festival. “It’s also a great opportunity for the people of Yorkton who are out and about to see what the council schools are working on.Some of the art ties into environmental science or different subject areas. “It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity.”

Bill Kramer reflects on 45 years at Royal Ford By Cory Carlick Staff Writer If there’s anything that can be said about Ford, people feel an emotional connection to their favourite car. After all, they’re connected to it over a lifetime. This is equally true not only
for the people that drive them, but also for the people that sell them. Nowhere is that more true than with Bill Kramer of Royal Ford, whose remarkable career has spanned 40 years. “Sales is a tough job, but it’s been a good run. I’ve seen ‘em come and

I’ve seen ‘em go,” laughs Kramer. “I’ve worked with some great people, but it’s time to hang it up.” Before that, though, Yorkton This Week caught up with Bill to reflect on his remarkable career. It’s a testament to Kramer’s skill and passion that he has had such longevity. Everyone knows Bill. People know him by name and, in many cases, have been buying cars from him for years. In an industry where sales staff may stay at a particular dealership for, say, a few months, to perhaps a year or so -- sometimes switching brands or careers altogether -- Kramer has sold Ford vehicles, and only Ford vehicles during his entire 45 year career. Every single one of those years have been at Royal. “I started in 1974,” remembers Kramer. “I had worked for CP transport here [for] nine years. Then I decided to move to North Battleford because that’s where my wife was from. I got a job with the Ford company there, selling parts on the road. “So, we were there six months; bought a house and everything, and got the Yorkton paper all the time. And there was an ad. So we thought, what the hell. Let’s go back. “I came and saw Russ. He said, ‘Yeah, Move back!’ and that’s when I started. Never looked back. Bill’s initiation to car sales from parts was a trial by fire, to say the
least. “Oh, God,” he laughs. “Well, the first day I worked, I knew nothing. I knew absolutely nothing. We were on 1st Avenue -- that’s where it started. Then we were on the corner of 6th and Broadway. Russ had bought that property. It was just gravel! And he would put used cars there. Well, they dropped me off there one day when I started. “I went in there and one salesman was mad at me, boy, moving in there. The other salesman was good, though. He helped me out. If it wasn’t for him, maybe I would’ve quit that same day. But he helped me out and Continued on Page A13

REFLECTS Continued from Page A12 away I went. “Lots of s*** happened,” he laughs. “I had customers that bought years, and years, and years from me. People were dedicated. They didn’t wander, but when the computer age came out and you can go online looking. It didn’t matter where they bought. “I had an older gentleman once, said ‘Bill, I gotta tell you something. He says, ‘I went shopping!’ I said [jokingly], ‘Shame on you!’ He felt bad! That was so cute. “And the prices from 1974 to now. Like a Grand Marquis, you know -- a Lincoln -- we were selling Lincolns for seventeen nine in ‘79. That was the year they were changing. Well, they’re $89 000 now. Trucks -- $90 000, $100 000. But the trucks, they’re beautiful now. They ride like a Lincoln. “Every year we had a Christmas party. That was always a good deal. “I’ve been here 45 years, so lots has changed.. “I’ve had the odd guy get mad at me, naturally. We cool ‘em off though. “Staff now have changed since we started. At first, there were only two or three of us in a one car showroom. “Nobody taught me, either. It’s not like now. These young guys are being taught how to sell. Over there they just dropped me off and said ‘Have a good day’, so you learn pretty quick. “So it was an experience when I started but I got on to it and away I went. “When Terry had the grand opening of this place, the lady who was the president of Ford [Ford Motor Canada CEO Diane Craig], she was here. That’s a milestone because it was like, ‘Why would the President of Ford Motor Canada come to Yorkton?’ But she was right there. And you know she went out, and talked to some of the guys in the back. She was really nice. Smart, too. And we had the Premier here at the same time. President of Ford Credit was here. Mr. Karndoff, the owner from before was very impressed that finally met the President of Ford because he’d been with Ford a long time. So that was a good deal to meet all these people at once. “The older guys, they still come here. They like the service. That helps
Is this 1985, or what! Power ties, mustaches and mullets. Bill Kramer, veteran salesman and his team. us a lot. “The name has been around a long time. Are the same sort of cars popular now as they were in 1974? “Back then, we had the Grand Marquis, and the T-bird [Thunderbird]. We had the Mercury dealership though at that time. There was another gentleman who had the Ford [dealership]. We had Mercury, so we had the Cougar. We still could sell the Mustang, but the Grand Marquis was a good seller. A very good seller. “Then, when he [the previous owner] quit, Russ got both dealerships. So then we had the Thunderbird and the Cougar, we had the Grand Marquis, the LTD Crown Victoria. So we had a good selection of vehicles. “We had smaller ones, like the Fairmonts and the Grenadas, you know. They sold. We had an Escort, a Pinto...Pintos, you know, they complained they blow up,” he said with a laugh. “My daughter had a Bobcat. A yellow Bobcat. It had no air. No cassette. No nothin’! But she had it; she was happy. But now, well, holy shit. Can’t buy one of ‘em without
air conditioning, power windows, navigation. “Now, we’ve got four lines of SUVs. Very popular. And they’re good. They’re not junk. They’re just excellent, excellent vehicles. People aren’t buying cars. They’re buying SUVs. If they want a car they can go to Honda over here. “Selling is a change. Selling has changed now. I liked it before. Before the computers and that, people came in. They came in to ask about the car. What’s the price. Now, you punch in royalford.ca and it even gives you the payments and everything. It’s different, but you still have to sell. “Everybody’s different. Everybody that comes in, buys and sells... different, and you’ve gotta treat ‘em, well, you listen very carefully to them, and you find out their hotspots. You work on them from there. They know the prices already. The price is on the window. Years ago, we didn’t have prices on the window. So you could do what you want with the pricing, but we didn’t. But we used to put our own price on the vehicle if we thought it was right. Ford used to have the MSRPs, but then
along came the stickers. Eventually it became law that you had to have the stickers around the window. But now, with the computers, they’ve got it all. “They’re interested in a certain vehicle, you know? You can get all the information you want. “But like I said, the young people, they’re a little different. “I dunno, you look back 45 years. We’ve switched from commission to straight wages. No more commission. The whole dealership is that way.” Not to say that there haven’t been some colourful incidents, especially early on in his career in the ‘70s. “I grabbed a guy by the throat once,” laughs Kramer, “ ‘cause he called me a liar, but, eh, I was young. That was years ago.” “After I retire, well, I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’ve met so many people. I’m going on a cruise to Alaska! “We’ve got some good customers. But, you know, Terry’s been good to me. I can’t complain. “See, when Terry started out, and he had the company, he went down to Alabama for two weeks on training. So salespeople used to get trained. Perfect, real well. Because we were busy, eh? Lot of people. Things have changed, though. Don’t have the training we used to. And, you know, financing.

It’s bigger now. But I have no complaints. “And I’ve had no desire to go elsewhere, to be honest with you. I’ve had good staff and good friends. Real good friends.”

Manure can help build garden soil Thank you to everyone who came out to the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society Spring Plant and Bulb Sale last week. Thank you to everyone who donated plants, to those who helped set up and work at the sale, and of course, to all our gardening friends who came to buy new plants! We hope you found some exciting new garden treasures! Planting is now in full swing, and it’s the time when we really take a look at our garden soil and wonder what we can do to improve its productivity. Adding manure helps by introducing helpful nutrients to the soil, as well as helping to make it lighter and more aerated, but one of the best recipes for healthy soil is to add compost. Compost is the brown gold of any garden, bringing priceless microorganisms to our soil, and it’s easy to do. First, forget those myths that we may have in our minds about compost. No, it is not difficult to make. No, it does not require large specialized bins. No, it does not smell. Compost is a mixture of “brown” and “green” components. The brown components are usually dried leaves and layers of soil. The green components are all kinds of kitchen scraps such as
Community Spotlight
DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
Gardener’s Notebook vegetable peels, fruit peels, and eggshells, and coffee grounds. If we were talking about larger compost bins, we’d include grass clippings in this list. But today let’s focus on making compost on a small scale, in a bin, a pail, or even just a small pile in a corner of your yard. The key to making compost is to layer the brown and the green so that air and moisture is going through the mixture as it breaks down. Once we have a layer of the green items, sprinkle a layer of brown on top. A sprinkling of water will help to get the compost started. We don’t want it to be soupy, but it should be slightly damp. Make the green items roughly the same size to maintain uniform decomposition. Once a week or so, stir this mixture up. And guess what? In time we’ll have beautiful compost! If you don’t have space for a big compost bin, check out how to make a
mini-compost bin, there are all kinds of instructions online. You can make a compost bin in an eighteen gallon tote bin. Just type in “minicompost bin” for full instructions. No matter what size container you are using, the recipe is the same: brown matter, green matter, moisture, and air circulation from the layers and “turning” the compost. And patience! An important thing to remember: do not put any meat or dairy products into your compost mix. They will smell and attract pests. But by returning plant materials to the soil, we are adding amazing plant power to our gardens. And you know what? Mother Nature knows exactly what to do if we make the efforts with those scraps. In the fall, we made small “rows” in our garden, (you can do this in your flowerbeds) with a single layer of organic materials: potato peels, banana peels, scraps of lettuce, egg shells, and coffee grounds. We covered it over, and by this spring, it all had already returned to the soil, making our soil richer! If you are interested in a mini-gardening-vacation, you might want to be part of the Saskatchewan Horticultural Association (SHA) gardening tour, July 14 – 16. Highlights include various sights such as Batoche and Seager Wheeler Maple Grove Farm, St. Peter’s Cathedral and Abbey, and more. Log on to www. icangarden.com for full details! And closer to home, visit us at www.yorktonhort.ca, and have a great week! Be sure to wear a hat!

My spring fling of things is making me think Yorkton This Week | www.YorktonThisWeek.com | Wednesday, May 29, 2019
My spring drive kicked in as sure as any creature’s migration instinct. I felt a fierce compulsion to turn over ground. To dig up winterkill, prune raspberries, plant seedlings, divide perennials and prepare for new life. Foiled by cold weather, I put that energy to use in our bedroom. In mere hours, what began as a simple tidyup churned into a tsunami that pushed items long buried in closets and drawers and under the bed onto the visible beaches of the rest of the house. When the dining table reached capacity, the wave seeped into the space I call my office. Formerly a square box bedroom, we long ago painted that room sunny yellow and added a garden door to the back deck. Since our main floor had just two bedrooms to begin with, the room serves many purposes. Guest room. Warmup room. Pet-cleaning room. Project room. But its greatest usefulness — and liability — is as a collection point for anything we don’t have room or efficient storage for, or time or energy to relocate. Just when the tidal residue that began in the master bedroom washed onto that yellow shore, I made the mistake of visiting a Facebook garage sale site. A massive primitive bookshelf caught my eye. It had bet-
ter storage than my current shelves. Ignoring our still-out-of-order bedroom, I decided on the spot it could force my office into new life as a more attractive and efficient space. But first, I’d have to do some indoor gardening. Digging out. Pruning. Consolidating the contents of three other shelves. My patient husband brought the whale of a shelf home. But it needed painting. And I had to decide what to do with the chest and bookshelves it would displace,

help me tame the effects of the tsunami. My spring fling of things, though necessary, has reminded me strongly that God could care less about our stuff. What he cares about is our focus; the attitudes surrounding our stuff. For a Christ-follower, acquisition of and attention to possessions always comes behind serving and loving others. As I consult my compass, I pray. I long for simplicity. And a mudroom.
Plant hunting Spring is a time to plant gardens. When planning a garden it’s usually of interest to add some new plant varieties, and that is what had a number of people showing up at the Parkland Mall in Yorkton early today, (Friday). The Mall was the location of the Yorkton & District Horticultural Society’s annual Spring Bulb and Plant Sale. The event is a chance for gardeners to buy a variety of started plants and bulbs from members of the Society, with the sale being a fundraiser for their events. Staff photo by Calvin Daniels

Lacrosse festival builds player skills By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer A lacrosse festival held in Yorkton over the weekend was a huge success. “It’s getting bigger every year,” offered Adam Stewart one of the organizers and a coach with the local Yorkton Fighting Pikes organization. “The last two years it’s really taken off.” This year the festival saw five fields being utilized at Crosthwaite Park with teams across a number of age groups. Teams involved in the event included host Yorkton, along with Prince Albert, Kelvington, Sturgis, Estevan, and Regina. Stewart said locally numbers are growing in part because they now offer programming as early as an under eight team. “Back when I was
young we didn’t have the young age groups,” said Stewart, adding having players able to start younger builds a foundation for the program. It also helps that the teams are not in a formal league, but instead play in a festival format in different communities over the season. The festival format allows teams to evolve over the season, said Stewart. For example in the under eight group there are 22 players registered in Yorkton, which is enough to field two teams, but they practice as a group, and then are split into teams, the rosters changing from week-to-week as they head to a festival. “I really like the festival format,” he said, adding it puts more focus on skill development than in wins and losses that can become the focus in a
points-based league. “You can afford to lose a game.” Stewart said they are building toward a goal with events like the one held in Yorkton, at least at the three oldest divisions, and that is a provincial crown. The Fighting Pikes will send teams in all three divisions to the provincial tournament to be hosted in Sturgis June 14-16. Looking at the under15 Fighting Pikes Stewart said they have a real shot at winning the provincial title. “It is a very strong team,” he said, adding many of the players have been together for three years, often playing against older teams which has helped with skill development. “ ... And, we’ve been pretty successful. Our younger groups are always very strong.”

Yorkton hosts U11 Boys Prairie Cup By Cory Carlick Staff Writer Yorkton United hosted the U11 Boys Prairie Cup this weekend. On Saturday the YUFC Manchesters won 6-2 against QC Green. YUFC Liverpool went down to the Lakewood Timbers 8-3. YUFC Mutiny beat the Dalmeny Thunder 5-4, whhile QC Green went down to YUFC Liverpool 7-1. YUFC Mutiny vs. Lakewood Timbers 6-1, Dalmeny Thunder and YUFC Manchesters tied at 3-3. On Sunday, YUFC Mutiny won 3-1 against YUFC Liverpool, while the YUFC Manchesters
won 6-3 against the Lakewood Timbers. The YUFC Mutiny then went down to the YUFC Manchesters, rounding out the weekend. YUFC president Michael Chapman was justifably proud of the result. “Yorkton United really wanted to get into hosting tournaments. We haven’t been hosting a lot of tournaments. It’s really difficult, and you know, we went to go pick a week end to bust into the whole scene and it’s tough because you’ve got other teams, other cities hosting tournaments with everyone kind of
vying for the same clubs to come on to. “So we’re really happy to run a quality under

Canada becoming fully Raptor land Following a stunning comeback Saturday, Canadian sports fans appear to be in full-on ‘Raptor mode’. The Raptors were trailing Milwaukee most of the game, by as much as 15 into the third quarter, then Fred VanVleet got hot and the Raptors were back in the game. Then Kawhi Leonard did what he has the entire playoffs and that is be a beast on both ends of the court, finishing the game with 27 points, and more importantly seven assists and 17 rebounds to anchor the team. When the final buzzer had sounded the Raptors had won 100-94, taking four straight from the Bucks after losing the opening two games of the NBA east final. The win puts the
Raptors into the NBA final for the first time in their 24-year history, and suddenly the country is filled with basketball fans. If you are a sports fan it’s hard not to jump on the Raptor bandwagon, even if basketball is not your first choice of sports. Leonard is the most workman-like athlete in pro sports. He is focused, never gets too excited whether when making a great shot, or too upset in the face of a poor officials’ call, which happens too often in the NBA. Leonard just does his job, doing it better than arguably anyone in the league. While Leonard might not win fans on personality Pascal Siakim, Kyle Lowry and VanVleet are likeable. There is a sense
CALVIN DANIELS
Sports of purpose without arrogance that has been part of the Raptors the last few years that makes the team easy to cheer for. So the NBA finals will be must-watch television starting tomorrow evening (Thursday). The Raptors face one of the most dominant teams in sport over the last have decade, and in terms of the NBA might be as good a team over that time as any team has
ever been. Led by Stephen Curry, who himself has a claim in the best-player-in-theNBA tag, the Warriors have lost only two games in the playoffs this season, and this is the fifth straight visit to the finals for Golden State, so it’s a big ask for a Raptor win. But, win, or lose, this is the best ever season for the Raptors, and in a Canadian market growing into its love of basket-
ball, this is a key moment. This is where a country can come together to follow the team as never before, much as happened when the Toronto Blue Jays won the World Series for the first time in 1992. In another league on the weekend the Calgary Roughnecks needed overtime but they captured the National Lacrosse League title by taking a two-game-to-none final’s series win over Buffalo. The final, a 14-13 classic in front of more than 17,000 at the Saddledome in Calgary, was about as exciting a lacrosse game as you can get. Great win by the Roughnecks. Team Canada also needs a pat on the back for its efforts at the International Ice Hockey
A17
Federation World Championship. Sadly, to be sure, a roster full of big names from NHL teams out of the playoffs stayed home, but the players who took up the challenge to wear the Canadian jersey did well getting to the gold medal game. In the finals the Canadians met a team from Finland, a team with only two NHL players on the roster, but still masterful at systems. The Finnish team defeated Sweden in overtime to open their playoff run, then topped highlyfavoured Russia 1-0, then topped Canada 3-1. Having watched all the Canadian games I have to say I was impressed by the effort, and Sunday’s game was a definite gem.
Bongo 15U season wraps up at Nationals The 15U Bongos volleyball team finished off the season placing 13th at Nationals. Day one of competition included three matches in pool play. The team finished second in the pool of four.
After the second day of pool play they ended up in Tier 2 which meant they were in top 16. “It was an incredible performance to finish 13 out of the 58 teams in attendance,” wrote Michelle Pfeifer (coach/
manager). “Our team of 8 kids was competing against teams from BC and ON that practice nine hours a week and are kids who only play volleyball and go year round. Our kids worked their practices around
soccer, Taekwondo, hockey, basketball, badminton, and baseball. “The coaches and parents were so proud of these kids and their performance. They ended up the top team in Saskatchewan at
Nationals. “This experience will be one the kids won’t forget.” The Bongos would like to thank Source Embroidery for making new hoodies for the team and coaching staff.
“They were looking sharp with the Nationals logo above their names,” wrote Pfeifer, adding “thanks again to the Painted Hand CDC grant that allowed us to be a part of nationals.” — Submitted
June is Jump Start Month in city By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yorkton Council unanimously proclaimed June as Canadian Tire Jump Start Month in the city. The request for the designation was made at the regular meeting of Yorkton Council. “The vision and mission of Canadian Tire Jumpstart is simple: A Canada, where all kids have a chance to fulfill their dreams,” said Dale Brock, general
manager of the local Canadian Tire in making the request. Money raised in each Jumpstart Chapters stays within the community and goes directly to help kids between the ages of 4-18 participate in sport and physical activity. “A kid’s life can be enriched through physical activity, but that doesn’t mean it comes without a cost. And sometimes families need a little help to get their kids involved,” said Brock. For thousands of Canadian families,
Jumpstart is the help they need to get into the game, he added. “Jumpstart knows that physical activity isn’t just about soccer fields, ice rinks, karate mats and baseball diamonds,” said Brock. “Physical activity is the key to what we fund.” We ask that the City of Yorkton declare June to be Canadian Jumpstart Month in Yorkton. That means by donating to Jumpstart at your local store, you are helping kids from Your Community. In 2018, our Yorkton-Melville Chapter
in total with the help of the local partners including Big Brothers Big Sisters, City of Yorkton and Boys and Girls Club supported a total of 537 kids in all. “Research has proven that participation in ports and recreation increases a child’s chances of success in life through a healthier lifestyle, increased self-esteem and confidence, the opportunity to learn important leadership skills, and improved school performance and future education expectations,” said Brock.

Kozak off to hot start to golf season By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Junior golfers from across the Canadian Prairies descended upon Elmwood Golf Club in Swift Current, SK, over the May long weekend, to compete in the twoday Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s MJT Golf Saskatchewan Order of Merit (OOM) Series presented by Ilta Grain. Among the winners in Swift Current was Yorkton’s Ella Kozak. Kozak, 13, has had a remarkable start to the 2019 season winning her third straight 2019 MJT tournament in the Canadian prairies. Kozak, who fired rounds of 81 and 80 (161) claimed both the Hoselton trophy in her division and the Low Overall Girls score. Kozak may barely be a teenager, but she is becoming a veteran of the links. When asked how long she has been golfing she replied “probably six or seven years.”
Kozak said her start in the sport was rather simple. “I followed my dad out to the golf course,” she said, adding that she wanted to try the sport and was soon eager to take lessons to get better at the game. So what attracted the young Kozak to golf? “I just like the experience of meeting new people,” she said, “and, I really like golf as a sport.” When it comes to a strategy in a tournament Kozak said she tries to just play her own game. “I like to focus on being better than I did the first day,” she said. When playing a new course in a tournament Kozak said the practice round is a key as it allows her to get a feel for what clubs fit which holes, and how the greens play. In some tourneys she gets some added help as father Rob Kozak, (Diana is her mother), acts as her caddy. The young golfer said having him on course does add some

Relaxing by using very old cameras DEVIN WILGER
Thinking I do with words... By Devin Wilger Staff Writer As you read this, I am likely taking pictures. This is partially because that’s just what I do, but it’s also because I took this week as an opportunity to test cameras. I have too many cameras, but more importantly, I have to see if they all work. My camera collection has grown quickly, and possibly irresponsibly, over the past year. I have an absurd variety, from many years, many styles, using many different types of film. Some use film I can’t find anymore, so they’re exempt from the test, but apart from those I intend to get a roll of film through the rest of them in the next couple weeks. I need to see what works, what doesn’t, what I like, what I don’t, which I should keep, and which need to go away. It has made me more convinced that people need to try film, especially when using a vintage camera, because it’s a lot harder and that’s kind of handy. I have cameras that do not have light meters, whether because they never did, because they are broken, or because they use a battery that was not great for anyone’s health. That’s interesting just because it means you have to go all manual, occasionally improvising because of what you have handy. Take the Sunny 16 rule, a general guide to taking pictures that probably works and gives you something to guess at while taking a picture. It might not necessarily work, but hey, millions of
photographers in the past used it and it went okay. I have many cameras that do not focus automatically. Some don’t even give you much to go with, making you estimate distance because they work on guesses rather than with any sort of useful guide. Plus, unlike digital, you’ve got to wait until well after you’re out shooting before you discover whether or not you did everything right. It is strangely therapeutic in a way that digital isn’t, because with digital you can just keep trying until you get it right. I’ve taken 36 exposures - an entire roll of film – at one event just taking pictures of a group standing around, because digital allows you to do that and people keep blinking anyway. That’s a problem when you’re out to relax, because you are just going to keep trying until you get it right. With film, with old cameras, which you aren’t sure work correctly anyway because you haven’t used them before, you just kind of have to let go. You might have got the shot, you might not. You might have done everything correctly, you might not. You won’t find out immediately. It might be what you intended, it might not. It might have gone wrong in an accidental and interesting way. It might be beautiful, it might be terrible. But the important thing is that you had that moment, and can let it go. It’s relaxing and rewarding in a way digital can’t be and you don’t want it to be.

BYCZYNSKI - Charles Byczynski was born to Peter and Mary Byczynski in Alexander, MB on April 20, 1930. Early on they moved to Rocanville, SK. They settled into a 2 storey home, kept cows, chickens and grew a large garden. Charlie attended school in Rocanville until grade 6. One of his first paying jobs was at a local bakery. He then went to work for the railway at Bear Creek. He met his first wife Maxine (Davies) in Rocanville. They were married in 1955 and were blessed with 3 boys: Stephen, Timothy and Michael. In 1962 they moved to Bredenbury and Charlie gained employment at IMC K1 mine. He worked there on the belt crew until he retired in 1995. Over those years Charlie served on town council and was a hockey coach. He brought Boy Scouts to Bredenbury as their first boys scout leader. He was a golfer and a fisherman. Charlie also loved to go camping with his family. Charlie remarried in 2002. Anne and Charlie enjoyed their life in Bredenbury until 2018 when they moved to an apartment in Yorkton.

HAUSERMANN - Arnold born January 26, 1932 - May 10, 2019 aged 87 years. Arnold Hausermann was always a quiet man. This trait was shared with the woodland regions of Saskatchewan that Arnold loved. As he walked through snow covered brush and pine, the silence was calming and relaxing, save for the occasional hoot of an owl or bugle of the elk. He glanced at the snow, reminiscent of the Alps of his Swiss homeland. Originating on a farm in this beautiful European country, which he shared with his parents, Ernst and Bertha Hausermann and his brothers Ruedi, Ernst and Oskar. At age 20, Arnold was required by law to serve in the Swiss military. Along with gaining both this role, and his distaste for cucumbers, Arnold also became well trained in the music of the trumpet and played in the army band. The wind increased as it carried itself throughout the bush, its travels reminded Arnold of when he would play the trumpet on his family farm and the melodies would travel throughout the summer sky and the citizens of Seengen could hear the song Silver Threads. Arnold continued walking down the forest path that had been beaten down in autumn months by the white-tailed deer. He walked along the shoreline of the frozen Woody River, he closed his eyes and tried to remember the sound of the flowing water and was greeted by the sound of the Atlantic Ocean, that in 1954, he crossed over as he left his familiar homeland and came to the new world of Canada. As the S.S. Atlantic reached port in Halifax and the salty/cool sea air ceased to caress his thick auburn hair Arnold continued westward. He went from town to town working as a bricklayer (the occupation that he shared with his father). From Toronto, Kamsack, Humboldt and Edmonton, along with the small towns and villages sprinkled throughout his travels. After spending a year in Canada, Arnold returned to Switzerland. Whilst he was working on a jobsite, he met Rosmarie. Rosmarie states that “When I looked into his brown eyes for the first time I fell in love forever”. After three months he knew that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her and on September 29, 1956 they got married. Arnold had remembered Canada and he believed that it would be a good place to raise a family. Joined by his wife and his brother, Arnold returned to Kamsack. Rosmarie feeling alone in this new environment asked her sister Hanny if she could come. Together, with the support of their wives, Arnold and Oskar created Hausermann Bros. Masonry, where they were bricklayers and did stucco work all over Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The brothers brought their own traditional brand of masonry design techniques to Canada. The spending of time with the family was very important to Arnold. Arnold’s dream of raising a family on a farm of his own was achieved as he purchased some farmland right outside of Kamsack. Spending of family time was also expressed with the many trips camping, fishing, trapping, hunting, berry picking as well visits back to Switzerland. Through his life it is plain to see that hard work was never really hard work but part of what he loved to do, always with his best effort. This is reflected in his respect and enjoyment of life, the beauty seen in nature, as well as the little pleasures such as taking time for coffee, visiting each other and helping those around you, whenever in need. The strong, compassionate, thoughtful and intelligent man continued walking through life being active and rarely sitting down. When he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s his life as he knew it would be drastically changed forever. This journey was extremely difficult and heart breaking for those closest to him, however, Arnold Hausermann wasn’t one for giving up. He tried his best to help and he tried even harder to be strong. Right to the end, it made his day when those around him could enjoy a meal with him, talk a bit, make a joke or just give a smile. He always tried somehow to lighten Rosmarie’s burden, he never gave up even in those last moments, she took his hand and he held hers one last time. Arnold loved his life experience. This was very evident during his last visit back to the farm where his eyes showed his happiness at being back at the beloved home. Arnold was predeceased by his mother and father Bertha and Ernst Sr., two brothers, Ernst and Oskar. Arnold leaves to mourn and cherish his memory, his wife Rosmarie, brother Ruedi and sister-in-law Hanny. His children; Ernest (Lisa) Hausermann, Ruth (Dani) Scherrer, Susanne (Wayne) Mitchell, Ursula (Karl) Schiffer, Jacqueline Hausermann, Daniel (Paula) Hausermann. His grandchildren: Taylor and Mason Hausermann, Benjamin, Ricarda and Gregory Scherrer, Jonathon Bodnaryk, Amanda Fox, Matthew Bodnaryk, Stephanie, Michael, Adrianna and Markus Schiffer, Leah and Livie Hausermann and his greatgrandchildren: Kenzie and Ryder Fox, Maverick and Carter Bodnaryk. Along with many nieces and nephews. Graveside service was held May 25, 2019 at Riverview Cemetery, Kamsack, SK with Reverend Kevin Sprong officiating. Donations in memory of Arnold Hausermann may be made to Kamsack District Nursing Home Auxiliary or to Westminster Memorial United Church Fund or to Parkinson Canada - Saskatchewan (610 Duchess St., Saskatoon SK.

WEINMASTER - Jean Weinmaster passed away in peace and with no pain on May 17, 2019 at the Jowsey House in Yorkton, SK. Jean was born May 25, 1930 in MacNutt, SK to Adolf and Lydia (nee Fandrich) Laube, the youngest of three children. She attended school at Eden school (north of Saltcoats, SK) where she achieved grade eight. She liked school but loved the outdoors more, which included gardening, the farm animals and as well as birds and wildlife. Jean’s strong faith in the Lord was her guide, comforter, healer and steadfast foundation. She loved people and being with them. For a time she was a distributor for Avon, which she excelled at and thoroughly enjoyed. Jean was predeceased by her mother Lydia, father Adolf, husband of 47 years, Allan Weinmaster, brother Erwin, brother-in-law Donald Angus, as well as a number of brothers and sisters-in-law from the Weinmaster family. There were a number of aunts, uncles and cousins that went before Jean. Jean will be greatly missed by her sister Freda Angus of Yorkton; son Kenneth (Joanne) Crosson, White City, SK; daughter Judith (Wesley) Becker, Flaxcombe, SK; five grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren, a number of sisters and brothers-in-law from the Weinmaster family and many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and neighbours. There are likely many stories and fond memories that you have of Jean and we wish for you to share them and always remember them when you think of Jean. Jean spent a very short period of time in Toronto working at the Erwin Toy Store. The first thing she bought was a small toy bank (we still have it) so she could save up enough money to come back to the farm in Saskatchewan. This lets you know how much she has always enjoyed the farm and outdoors. A funeral service was held for Jean on Thursday, May 23 at 11:00 am from the chapel at Christie’s Funeral Home in Yorkton. If friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to the Yorkton SPCA in Jean’s memory.

RYCZAK - It is with great sadness and cherished memories that we announce the peaceful passing of Metro Ryczak; beloved husband, father and Gege (Guido), in Yorkton, SK on May 17, 2019 at the age of 85 years. Metro was born in Buchanan, SK, November 10, 1933 to John and Mary (nee Woicichowski) Ryczak. He was the second oldest in a family of six boys. He attended grade school at Vasolovitz country school. After the passing of his father, Metro maintained the family farm with his mother and two brothers, Bill and Steve. In his spare time, Metro was an active member of the Vasolovitz School District and the lead accordion player of the “Ramblin’ Rose Band” with his brothers, Steve and Bill. Metro was introduced to Iris Terlesky in 1958 during the wedding of Bill and Adeline Chupa, which both Metro and Iris were members of the wedding party. They were married on May 20, 1961. They lived on the family farm near Buchanan for 10 years and eventually settled down on their own family farm by Springside in 1971 and remained there for 37 years. They were blessed with seven children; Kenneth, Brenda, Kelly, Darcy, Dale, Bernadette and Derek. Metro’s true passion was farming which included grain, livestock, haying and attending countless auction sales. Til this day, no one truly knows how much was spent at these auctions sales. We do know he enjoyed a sawdust burger or a hot dog with coffee at every sale. Metro loved Sunday afternoon crop checking, fishing and hunting. He looked forward to his yearly Armit fishing trips and moose hunting in the fall. He spent many hours playing cards, attending country dances, listening to Ukrainian music and socializing with friends. After a hard day’s work, Metro loved reading the Western Producer and catching up on the local and world events by watching the CTV and CNN news. He retired from the family farm in 2006, moved to Canora in 2007, with the final move to Yorkton in 2010. Metro was blessed with twelve grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. He looked forward to seeing his grandchildren come for a visit and they each have their own special memories of Gege. Metro is survived by his wife Iris of 57 years, son Kenneth (Bev) Ryczak and their children Krystal (Brennon) and Miranda (Mackenzie). His daughter Brenda (Kyle) Abday and their children, Kristin (Kyle) and Meagan (Eddy). His son Darcy (Pam) Ryczak and their children Justin (Tanya) and Chelsea (Kyle). His son Dale (Tammy) Ryczak and their children Dekea and Jaggar. His daughter Bernadette (Shaune) Sichkaruk and their children Matthew and Samantha. And his son Derek (Kim) Ryczak and their children Skylar and Parker. Great-grandchildren Broden, Avery, Kennedy, Tessa, William, Callie, Charles, Grady, Noah and Francis. His brother Steve Ryczak, sister-in-laws Victoria Ryczak and Darlene Ryczak and many nieces and nephews.

FENSKE - Floyd Rudolph Fenske of Yorkton, SK passed away on Monday, May 13, 2019 at the age of 84 years. Dad was born June 8, 1934 in Jedburgh, SK. Our Dad grew up on the farm with 2 brothers, Marvel and Howard and 1 sister, Florence. We heard many stories of the antics and shenanigans that the Fenske children got into. They had a great respect for Grandma and Grandpa but they did try to hide from the discipline they would have to receive. One story in particular - Grandma and Grandpa left the farm for the day and the kids decided to make bread. It turned out like hockey pucks and Dad said they were so afraid of getting into trouble, they buried it in the garden!! Dad met Mom at a party and fell in love! They were married June 24, 1960 and were married 58 years. April 1964 they moved to Yorkton and still live in the same house. As kids, we helped to build a fireplace in the basement, paint the house and learned the ropes of gardening….especially making sure that when you weeded the garden you don’t leave the pulled weed in the soil!! Mom and Dad always let us paint our room a crazy colour - which developed our creative souls! Mom always made a comforter to match the colour that we chose and Dad never complained about us girls, changing our room again! Dad worked at the school division as a secretary treasurer. He loved his job and took it very seriously. With Dad’s whole being he exuded integrity and honesty. He taught us girls that being honest, especially with money was so important. These were life lessons that we have taught our children. Dad loved the outdoors. As you noticed in the picture slideshow, Dad played with his camera, capturing sunsets, squirrels and enjoyed all the birds that came to feed in the yard. Camping was a huge part of our childhood. Mom and Dad took us girls in a 9’x9’ tent with Coco our dog for weeks at time. We had so much fun learning about all the bugs, making frogs our pets and playing with our cousins at the beach. Our childhood was always an adventure, as we had birthday cakes made from hotdogs and s’mores sitting by the fire. Dad was not your typical “old” man. He golfed all summer, curled all winter and mowed his lawn meticulously. His garden was his place to play. He loved growing rose bushes, planting his garden and sharing the fruit of his labour with his family and friends. Dad loved his family. He worked to provide for Mom and us girls. Now our family has grown as Mom and Dad are now great-grandparents! Dad was so proud of his family and loved to take us all out for supper and would fight with us, as he never let us pay! Laura married Marv and their children Bryce (Spencer), Jordan (Samantha and their children, Hennessey, Farren, Thompson) and Kristina (Hunter) all live in Yorkton. Donna married Wayne and their children, Nicole, lives in Moose Jaw and their son, Brett (Jennie and baby to be), lives in Saskatoon. All of us kids have something that Dad has made from wood-working. He loved all the details and if you notice, Dad made his own urn. We will never forget him showing us “his latest project”. He was quite proud of the fact that he googled the design and came up with a Fenske original. It is hard to believe that Dad is gone. His last day was buying flowers for Mom and doing errands. He went to be with the Lord very peacefully having a nap. We know that Dad is at peace and we look forward to being all together one day. Love you Dad! A Memorial Service was held for Floyd on Friday, May 17, 2019 at 11:00 am from Christie’s Funeral Home and Crematorium in Yorkton with Shelly Morris officiating. Interment followed in the Yorkton City Cemetery. Should friends so desire, donations in memory of Floyd may be made to Canadian Cancer Society for cancer research.

Chunky pieces add to game play I love chunky abstract strategy games, those with nice big pieces that feel good when you are moving them aroud the board. That was the first thing I noticed, and admired about Push Fight. This game is not new, created in 2008 by designer Brett Picotte, but is not particularly well-known and that is something of a pitty. In some respects the game reminds a bit of sumo wrestling, or perhaps more correctly a game of rugby in a phone booth (for those who remember what phone booths even are). The goal is for a player to push one of their opponent’s game pieces off the board at either end. Each team has five game pieces: three square (top) pieces and two round (top) pieces. All five pieces can move around the board by traveling on empty spaces (an empty space is one that doesn’t have a game piece on it). In addition to moving, the square pieces have the power to
push one or more pieces one space. The game plays fast. “Players take turns moving their pieces into position for an attack, then using one of their square pieces to push one space. You can push pieces to a new space, or you can push one of them off the board to win the game. Move or push forward, backward or sideways (in either direction). No diagonal moves or pushes are allowed. A move can travel several spaces. A push is only one space,” details the rules. One turn consists of two moves (maximum), then a push. The move aspect creates a fair bit of in-game flexibility. “Travel as far as you want on empty spaces as long as the spaces are connected (have sides that touch). Move all over the board if you like. You can move one or two pieces, or you can decide to not move any pieces during your turn,” notes the rules. The push of course is the key aspect of the game.
THE MEEPLE GUILD (Yorkton) meeple.guild@gmail.com “You must push one or more pieces with a square piece to complete your turn. You can push white and/or blue pieces in any direction (except diagonally). If several pieces are lined up in the direction you are pushing, and there are no empty spaces between them, you can push them all one space. You can even push one of your own pieces to complete your turn,” details the rules. “After you push, put the red anchor game piece on the square piece that did the pushing. The anchored piece can’t be pushed during your opponent’s next turn. It is the only piece he or she can’t push. If it’s in a line of pieces, none of them can be pushed if it means pushing the anchored
piece. Once the anchor is put on another game piece, the piece that was anchored can be pushed
again. Players share one anchor.” And that’s it to this quick beauty of a game. “Trap your opponent so you can push one of their pieces off the board at either end. When one piece is off the board, the game is over. There are a lot of places at each end of the board where you can push them off. You can also win if your opponent surrenders because he or
she is trapped and can’t get out.” Push Fight is a game that has lots of replay allure and is simple, yet with strategy to explore. A definite gem.
