Walk for Water a first for Yorkton

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer It was a ‘Walk for Water’ as a group in Yorkton headed out on a six kilometre trek Saturday afternoon.

“We’re partnering with World Vision,” explained

event organizer Matt Erickson.

Erickson explained World Vision encourage a six-kilometre walk around the world, focusing on that distance because it is estimated to be the average distance people must walk to “to have access to somewhat drinkable water”

in developing countries.

In the case of walks being held in Canada this year, Erickson said all funds raised are being targeted to go to the community of Menkau in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The money will be used to dig four wells in the community of 14,000.

Not only will the wells provide closer access to drinking water, but it will also help an estimated 300 children, most girls, go to school. Erickson explained parents have to work, and so children must make the trek for water. If more than one child is in a family, typically boys are sent

to school, and girls go for water.

The local walk is a first for Yorkton, and while the final numbers in terms of donations was yet to be tabulated, they had raised $3500 by the time they headed out from Anytime Fitness, the major sponsor for the event.

Glaicar recognized for cadet efforts

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Milt Glaicar has been involved with the air cadet organization both locally and provincially for more than four decades.

Tuesday those years of, passion, dedication and a commitment to community, was recognized as Glaicar was presented with the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers. The presentation was made as part

of the 77th Ceremonial Review of #17 Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets based in Yorkton.

The medal recognizes the exceptional volunteer achievements of Canadians from across

the country in a wide range of fields and pays tribute to the dedication and commitment of volunteers.

In Glaicar’s case he has been working with Cadets since 1977. Since then he has sat on the

provincial committee including a stint as the provincial vice-chair.

Locally Glaicar took on the organizing of curling for the cadets, then took on the same role across the province.

During his decades

Glaicar, who lives in the Saltcoats area, also worked continuously at Camp Sask Cadet.

Asked what the medal meant, Glaicar said it hadn’t really sunk in yet.

“I haven’t given

Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation.

The breast screening program in Yorkton is busy, averaging over

5,000 women annually.

At present, the only proven method of reducing

breast cancer deaths is early detection. That is why breast screening is conducted. The new digital mammography equipment will be an upgrade over our current equipment and provide the best diagnosis available.

New regulations implemented Recently, Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister MarieClaude Bibeau announced that the Government of Canada has implemented the new regulations necessary to strengthen the Advance Payments Program, as announced on May 1st.

These changes will provide farmers with more cash flow, providing them flexibility to manage their farm operations,

adjust their marketing plans and explore new market opportunities. Strong and stable markets for our high-quality Canadian canola means more money in the pockets of our farmers and supports good, middle-class jobs for Canadian farm families.

The amendments made to the Agricultural Marketing Programs Regulations increase loan limits from $400,000 to $1

million for all producers on a permanent basis, and increase the interest-free portion of loans on canola advances from $100,000 to $500,000 in the 2019 program year under the APP. Producers of all other commodities can continue to receive up to $100,000 interest-free.

With the regulations now in place, government officials are working with the 36 program administrators to revise con-

tracts, operating procedures and to ensure system changes are properly implemented, and are working as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Producers will be able to apply for the new amounts as early as June 10 and new advances above $400,000 will be issued as of June 26.

Producers are encouraged to contact their APP administrator regarding applica-

tion details and processing timelines. In the meantime, the Government continues to provide producers access to the current advance limit of $400,000, which effective immediately, is interest-free for all canola advances.

These changes will help farmers manage their cash flow, giving them more flexibility during a time of market uncertainty.

Collision on Hwy 9/Ebenezer

By Cory Carlick Staff Writer A collision on Highway 9 and Ebenezer over the weekend resulted in injuries. No one was killed.

Sgt. Travis Adams of the Yorkton detachment RCMP indicated that although the accident was initially reported as a head on collision, on arriving on scene it was determined that it wasn’t.

“No one was killed,” said Sgt. Adams.

“One person was released at the scene and two were transported to hospital for observation.”

The cause of accident is currently under investigation.

any thought to what it means,” he said shortly after the presentation.

Glaicar said it was just good to work with the parents of cadet members through the years to help make sure there was programming. He said for the most part his efforts were with parents, no the youth, although he does recall a trip to Churchill a few years ago via train with the local corps was a highlight.

Glaicar was never a cadet himself, but two children were involved both ending up with their pilot’s licence as a result of their time with the corps. With his children involved he said he just sort of started helping out.

“There was a need, so I stepped in,” he said.

The kids graduated, Glaicar senior stayed on.

“It was the quality of the program,” he said that kept him involved, adding “I enjoyed it.”

Milt Glaicar, right, was presented with the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers by Merv Ozirney.

in Esterhazy and area,” said Sarah Fedorchuk, VP of Public Affairs & Government Relations at Mosaic. “Our funding over the years has supported campaigns for equipment in the areas of hematology, intensive care, neo-natal and now breast screening. We are glad to partner with the Foundation each year to help provide the best possible healthcare for all east central com-

munities.”

“We are very grateful for the ongoing support of Mosaic for our work to improve the healthcare available for everyone in our region. Certainly, this new mammography equipment is important, it will help us to maintain our services locally and it will provide state-of-the-art equipment to our regional hospital. This equipment will save lives,” continued Mr. Fisher.

Murray Mandryk is a political columnist with the Leader Post

Politics Can you imagine the federal Liberals emerging from this fall’s national election with more seats in Saskatchewan than they already have?

Admittedly, it takes a fair bit of imagination.

And it will take more than a little luck on the Liberals’ part. But it is possible … even though it’s likely a difficult to see from the vantage of rural Saskatchewan.

If you live anywhere in this province, you have had a pretty steady diet of frustrations with the federal Liberal government.

It started long-before the boisterous opposition from Premier Scott Moe and federal Opposition leader Andrew Scheer to the carbon tax imposed on April 1.

And it certainly won’t end until the federal ballots are in box this October.

One gets that there are elements of this debate driven by politics — the notion that no one likes paying more taxes for anything.

But what we can’t forget that we are a resource-based economy, dependent on oil, gas, mining and, of course, agriculture. All of these things are large-scale greenhouse gas emitters.

Our electrical needs are currently powered by burning coal.

For however much politics there has been in the opposition to the carbon tax, there is no doubt that it does disproportionally hammer a large GHG emitter like Saskatchewan.

Add in other problems like the inability to sell canola into China — arguably, a problem not of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government, but one that the Liberals are struggling to solve — and there’s more reason not to vote Liberal than there was four years ago.

And let us remember that Saskatchewan voters weren’t exactly eager to vote Liberal in 2015. Ralph Goodale in Regina Wascana was the Liberals only success.

Given the anger over both Trudeau and his government policies that we now see, there is no guarantee that even Goodale is safe this time.

But that Goodale has held on to a Saskatchewan seat nearly for three decades now reminds us that Saskatchewan voters are never completely uniform in their views.

And not all Saskatchewan voters share the same level of disdain for the current federal administration.

This is something that Trudeau and his strategists obviously recognized prior to the Prime Minister’s trip to Saskatchewan late last month to exonerate the Cree leader Chief Poundmaker.

It wasn’t so much this ceremony in which Trudeau declared: “The Government of Canada recognizes that Chief Poundmaker was not a criminal, but someone who worked tirelessly to ensure the survival of his people.”

This did seem to be about righting a historical wrong.

Moreover, this is the Battlefords-Lloydminster federal riding that has been conservative for 30 years.

But after Trudeau left the Poundmaker ceremony, he headed to the spring assembly of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) at the Flying Dust First Nation north of Meadow Lake. Then it was off to a Liberal fundraiser in Meadow Lake for star DesnetheMissinippi-Churchill River candidate Tammy Cook-Searson.

Clearly, Trudeau and the Liberals have identified a political opportunity in Saskatchewan that others might have overlooked.

Of course, there’s still the problem of Trudeau’s relationship with First Nations people that has been scarred by unfulfilled promises and the whole Jody Wilson-Raybould affair.

And it won’t make all that much difference to Saskatchewan’s representation in Ottawa that will still be dominated by a heavy Conservative presence.

But in what could be a very close election in which every seat may count, one can’t overlook a seat like Desnethe-Missinippi-Churchill River.

Nor should we forget that there still is a diversity of views in this province — even when what you mostly hear sounds like unanimity.

As we found out in 2015 when Trudeau came from third place to win, elections can be unpredictable affairs.

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

75 years, and still we remember

even and a half decades have passed, yet images of D-Day and in particular Juno Beach resonates with many of us as if the event were one at least in our own lifetime.

And, well it should be that the great sacrifices made starting June 6, 1944, never be forgotten.

Juno Beach was one of five beaches of the Allied invasion of Germanoccupied France in the Normandy landings during the Second World War. The beach spanned from Courseulles, a village just east of the British beach Gold, to Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer, and just west of the British beach Sword.

Taking Juno was the responsibility of the Canadian Army, naval support provided by the Royal Canadian Navy and other Allied navy forces.

The objectives of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division on D-Day were to cut the Caen-Bayeux road, seize the Carpiquet airport west of Caen, and form a link between the two British beaches on either flank.

The beach was defended by two battalions of the German 716th Infantry Division, with elements of the 21st Panzer Division held in reserve near Caen.

It was a Herculean task that was the first step in reclaiming Europe from the German forces, and ultimately putting an end to the Adolph Hitler led Nazi forces.

That first step was not easy, landing on an open beach against the entrenched German forces.

The 3rd Canadian Infantry Division suffered 340 men killed, 574 wounded and 47 taken prisoner, reports

Wikipedia. The Queen’s Own Rifles suffered 143 casualties the most of any battalion, the Royal Winnipegs 128, the North Shore 125 and the Regina Rifles 108.

Of the landing craft used on the run-in to Juno, 90 of 306 were lost or damaged.

But, what was in part a great gamble made successful on the willpower of Allied soldiers, worked. The Allies had created a beach head by the time the opening days on Normandy were complete, and from there the push to Berlin was able to begin in earnest.

It might be a very different world today had the Allies been rebuffed at Normandy.

The freedoms we enjoy today, of religion, or speech, of equality, might not exist today had D-Day failed. It is why we must be diligent to maintain those freedoms today.

Tomorrow marks the 75th anniversary of perhaps the greatest battle for democracy ever fought. Few veterans of the battle remain, so it is up to those who have followed to remember – always!

It is why the parade tomorrow to the cemetery in Yorkton to spread ashes of Remembrance Day wreaths upon the graves of our veterans is important to be part of.

It is why scribes write humble words at this time to encourage remembrance.

It is simply something we owe to those who did not make it across the beach, who did not come home, who gave their lives for our future 75-years later.

Sacred Heart students at national event Sacred Heart High School in the city sent two students to compete at the National Skills Competition in Halifax.

Hannah Sevilla and Cheyenne Olson advanced to the National competition after recently winning gold at the Provincial Skills Competition in

Saskatoon.

Sevilla and Olson represented team Saskatchewan for the Video Production competition. They competed at the Halifax Exhibition Centre on May 28-29 against 11 teams from across Canada.

On day one of competition, they had to create a

promotional video, convincing parents why it is important for students to pursue skilled trades.

On day two, they had to create a video focussing on a top 5 list pertaining to a topic of their choice. The girls worked extremely hard and placed eighth in Canada.

The girls would

like to thank Skills Saskatchewan and Christ the Teacher Catholic School Division for covering all their costs for this amazing opportunity.

“It will be exciting to see what these young ladies will be able to do in the years to come as they are only in grade 10 and 11” said coordinator Curtis Moen. “They met new friends, advanced their video skills and made lifelong memories of Nova Scotia.”

Agri-food products to be showcased Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison will be highlighting Saskatchewan’s high-quality agri-food products in Japan and South Korea as part of a trade mission led by federal Minister of International Trade Diversification James Carr.

The mission delegation also

includes Alberta’s Minister of Economic Development, Trade and Tourism Tanya Fir, as well as a number of agriculture producer groups.

“With Asian markets continuing to import more food every year, it is crucial we promote the safe, reliable and high-quality agri-food products

Saskatchewan has to offer,” Harrison said. “Japan and South Korea remain two of Saskatchewan’s most important and valued customers and it is important we strengthen those relationships.”

The delegation will be meeting with industry officials to promote opportunities for

trade and investment, and to encourage food processing and agriculture companies to purchase additional agricultural products from Canadian and Saskatchewan suppliers.

Japan is Saskatchewan’s third-largest export market. In 2018, the province’s exports to Japan were valued at $1.13 bil-

lion, and more than 99 per cent of those exports were agri-food products, including canola seed, non-durum wheat, durum and barley.

Saskatchewan exports to South Korea were valued at more than $117 million in 2018, with key exports including canola oil, wheat, malt and oats.

Paper Bag Players perform ‘Steel Magnolias’

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Paper Bag Players presented Steel Magnolias with a pair of showings.

Under the direction of Leanne Keys the play took to the stage at the Sacred Heart High School Theatre Friday and Saturday evenings, with a cast that included, in order of appearance; Annelle – Ashley Lazurko, Truvey – Sandra Stokes, Clairee – Tamara Hall, Shelby – Jamie Cordin, M’Lynn – Christine Bradley, Ouiser

– Teresa Weber.

A synopsis of the play from the program noted; “the action is set in Truvey’s beauty salon in Cinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have their hair done.

Helped by her new eager assistant, Annelle (who is not sure whether or not she is still married), the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvey dispenses shampoos, and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon, Ouiser (“I’m not crazy, I’ve just been in a bad mood for forty

years”); an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M’Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town), is about to marry a “good ole boy”. Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play moves toward tragedy when, in the second act, the spunky Shelby (who is diabetic) risks pregnancy and forfeits her life. The sudden realization of their morality affects the

others, but also draws on the underlying strength – and love – which gives the play, and its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny and marvellously amiable company in good times and bad.”

The twin performances were also a fundraiser for Lynn Nightingale.

On March 1, Nightingale suffered a debilitating stroke and was air lifted to Saskatoon for care. She continues her recovery in Saskatoon Hospital.

The program called her “our personal ‘Steel Magnolia’”, also noting she “continues to grow stronger each day as she recovers and works on

her intensive therapy.”

Nightingale is the assistant manager of Rickie’s clothing store, President of the Paper Bag Players Theater and fiancée to Aaron Nagy.

A silent auction, TV raffle and Canteen, as well as the 50/50 draw were held with profits going to Lynn and Aaron.

Farm net income numbers concerning In a year when summer weather forecasts at least hint at too hot and too dry a condition for crops and China has plunged the agriculture sector into a time of trade uncertainty, more bad news is hardly what producers want to hear.

But more bad news is what they have gotten.

Recent numbers released by Statistics Canada show net incomes on Canadian farms in 2018.

A decline is never positive news but it gets downright depressing and more than a little concerning when you read further and see the decline was 45 percent, which is the lar-

gest annual percentage decrease since 2006, according to Statistics Canada.

Realized net farm income — which is defined as the difference between farm cash receipts and operating expenses, minus depreciation plus income in kind — dropped 45.1 percent in 2018 to $3.9 billion, Statistics Canada numbers detailed in a recent Western Producer story.

The 2018 decline follows a 2.8 percent decrease in 2017.

Among the suggested reasons for the dramatic decline were rising feed, interest and labour costs together with little

Agriculture THIS WEEK

Calvin Daniels change in farm cash receipts.

The reasons are suggestive as to the root of the problem agriculture has long held, little control of the prices they receive for their commodities, giving them little ability to look to their market to offset rising prices on the other

side of their ledger.

In most businesses there is at least some ability to pass off increasing business costs to their consumers. If it costs more to buy the ingredients for lasagna or a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich a restaurant can inch the cost up to the

consumer to cover the cost.

Farmers can’t turn to a canola oil crusher or oat processor and ask for more for their product, as farmers are price takers, not price setters.

Of course the question is now where net incomes from farmers may go in the next 12 months.

Even if the numbers are more theory than reality, as can be the case in terms of real dollars in the bank, a decline in 2019 is obvious.

Things currently are far from ideal in terms of prospects ahead already.

There is an almost universal need for

moisture across the Canadian Prairies, and we are barely into June.

Timely moisture will be critical moving forward.

The China situation, and the reactions of the already wild card American president Donald Trump simply muddy the waters in terms of trying to predict what might happen tomorrow, let alone by the time harvest 2019 is complete.

The Stats Canada numbers simply suggest farmers need a few things to fall their way soon or the situation could turn dire.

Calvin Daniels is Editor with Yorkton This Week.

Mandatory training coming for truck drivers New training requirements for those wishing to drive a semi in agriculture operations will be phased in starting next year.

The changes follow the implementation of 121.5 mandatory training hours for Class 1 commercial semi drivers that came into effect March 15, 2019.

At the time, the government also introduced a temporary exemption for people who wanted to drive a semi in farming

operations. Drivers could get an “F” endorsement on their existing licence by passing the Class 1 tests without taking mandatory training. Holders of an “F” endorsement were limited to driving semis within the province.

“We wanted to take some more time to consult with the farm sector on the impacts mandatory training would have on their industry, recognizing that vehicles used in farming operations

are – in most cases – not on the roads as much as commercial semis; they also tend to travel shorter distances, and through areas with lower traffic volumes,” Minister Responsible for SGI Joe Hargrave said. “That consultation work is now complete. The majority of people we consulted in the agriculture sector agreed training was necessary to improve safety for everyone travelling on our roads.”

Training impacts for

the ag sector are as follows: • Effective March 1, 2020, anyone wishing to obtain an “F” endorsement on their existing driver’s licence will be required to take 40 hours of commercial driver training. The “F” endorsement will include a restriction that the holder can drive a farm vehicle normally requiring a Class 1 driver’s licence only within a 100-km radius of the address on the vehicle

registration, and is restricted to operating within Saskatchewan’s borders.

• Effective March 1, 2021, the “F” endorsement will be eliminated and anyone wanting to operate a semi will require a Class 1 driver’s licence, which will include taking the full 121.5-hour mandatory training program. This includes all “F” endorsement holders, who will need to complete the training program.*

Drivers who have previously taken 40 hours of training toward the “F” endorsement will be given credit for those hours.

The changes mean that in 2021, mandatory training programs across the prairies will be completely aligned.

• Anyone who obtained a Class 1 licence before mandatory training was implemented is allowed to continue to drive a semi.

Seeding nears completion across SK. Seeding of the 2019 crop is nearing completion, with the majority of the crop being planted this month. Ninety-two per cent of the crop is now seeded, up from 73 per cent last week and well ahead of the fiveyear average (2014-18) of 83 per cent for this time of year.

The southwest region is the most advanced, with 96 per cent of the crop in the ground.

Ninety-four per cent is seeded in the southeast, 91 per cent of the crop is seeded in the east central region, 92 per cent in the west central region, 90 per cent in the north east and 87 per cent in the north west.

“This past summer, as Miss Tammy trained at RAD headquarters, she was immersed in British history and Culture, which became the inspiration for this year’s show. In fact, the bobby hats were purchased at the Notting Hill market for this purpose and this year’s Tap Line was chosen after being in the audience for the spectacular production,” explained the program regarding the theme of the showcase.

As for the 24-year, Dance Innovations is proud to be part of the local performing arts

community the 2019 production marks Dance Innovation’s 24th year here in the community of Yorkton.

“Dance is disguised as steps, as movements to music, as an extracurricular activity, as extra practising, as more driving but it is so much more. It is working together as a team, it is counting on others and being accountable, it is freedom in movement that can totally change your day, it is challenging oneself and each other to strive to excellence, and it is one of the most rewarding activities for our students and our staff,” noted the program.

Most lakes to reach normal summer operating levels Despite below normal snowmelt runoff into the Qu’Appelle River and persistent drier than normal conditions across most of Southern Saskatchewan, most lakes on the Qu’Appelle River System are within their desirable summer operating ranges, due to additional spring management by Water Security Agency (WSA).

The lakes actively monitored by WSA on this system include Buffalo Pound, Last Mountain, Pasqua, Echo, Mission, Katepwa, Crooked and Round. Recreational users and local residents are advised that while visually, some of these lakes may appear at reduced levels compared to previous high flow years, most are within their desirable summer operating ranges.

The exception of Round Lake which is projected to be about 85 centimetres (33.5 inches) below that mark.

WSA will not be operating the control structure at Round Lake until the federal government obtains the appropriate land control. WSA is still working on bringing Crooked Lake up to near the top of its desirable operating level by mid-June. Lake levels similar to the summer of 2018 are expected throughout the Qu’Appelle River System, if conditions remain dry.

Dry conditions over southern Alberta are resulting in low runoff within the headwaters of the South Saskatchewan River and high water use within irrigation districts in Southern Alberta. This is translating into below normal inflows to Lake Diefenbaker.

Additional water was retained in Lake Diefenbaker in April due to a below normal snowpack developing in the alpine headwaters. While Lake Diefenbaker is currently at a near normal elevation for this time of year, outflows are being reduced to safeguard the water supply and reduce the risk of summer water levels that are lower than desirable.

Outflows at Gardiner will be maintained near 70 m3/s through the summer unless conditions in the headwater areas improve or deteriorate further.

These flows below Gardiner Dam would be similar to outflows maintained through the past three summers.

While these flows will offer challenges to downstream irrigators, ferries, and recreational users, it is a balanced approach to protect the interests at the reservoir.

Further information can be found in WSA’s May 1, 2019, Water Supply Conditions and Outlook which can be found at https://www.wsask.ca/Lakes-and-Rivers/ Provincial-Forecast/.

Season wind-up for Hort. Society June 19 The Yorkton and District Horticultural Society will be holding their season wind-up on Wednesday, June 19.

This is a member’s only event, the last one before we take the summer off and dive into gardening!

Members, if you have any questions about the event, please call Liz at 782-2830.

Here’s an interesting little factoid about sunshine and vitamin D. The other day I was chatting with someone about exposure to the sun and vitamin D. But the question of safety in the sun is an important one. So I did some homework, and read in various places that midday is the best time to get your dose of sunshine. When I read that, I thought, wait a minute, isn’t that the hottest part of the day? Yes, the UV rays are at their strongest, but then that means you need to spend minimum amount of time in the sun to get what you need for vitamin D. It’s a small amount: between ten to thirty minutes a day three times a week. We have to expose our arms and legs to get the full benefit. But we can wear a hat and sunglasses: our head is a small part of our body and does not make much vitamin D. Also, the theory seems to be that our bodies operate at their best around midday, so they are working well to convert the sun into vitamin D for us at that time.

But take note: I was not surprised that every article I read stressed the danger of too much sun:

DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

Gardener’s Notebook heat stroke, sunburn, aging skin, and of course the biggest worry of all, skin cancer. With our long winters, we might go wild and carefree when we can finally enjoy the summer sun, but we must be very cautious. Stay on the safe side of summer sun: wear sunscreen or wear light, loose clothing for cover, and wear sunglasses and a hat. Did you know that the sun has a temperature of about 5600 degrees Celsius, and even though it is 149.6 million kilometres away, it’s astonishing how strong and potentially damaging the heat of its rays are on a hot sunny day. So we must be careful, gardeners.

My darling Mom always said that her Mom, my Grammie, used to say “You never stop learning.” And if we are open to it, we learn all the time! Last week at the Yorkton Film Festival (the longest running film festival in North America!) we watched a great film called “Canadiana” that featured amazing stories about Canada’s history.

This film talked about a cannonball bomb that is surrounded by elm tree roots in Quebec City.

Here’s the story: in old Quebec City, there

is a house that belonged to Madame Pean in the years of New France.

In 1759, British artillery used cannonballs in fighting within the city.

This particular cannonball landed, did not explode, and was moved over the years to eventually be placed near a young elm tree (in the early 1900’s) to become a wheel guard at the edge of the street.

The elm tree grew, and its roots began to grow around the cannonball.

It can still be seen on on Rue Saint-Louis at the corner of Rue du Corpsde-Garde in Quebec City.

We learned not only a tidbit of Canadian history, but also that elms can be tough and longlived, and can adjust to difficult growing conditions, even in an urban setting.

The Festival’s many films included some gardening films, and these can be borrowed free of charge from the Festival office for you to view at home. Stop in, (the office is in the Godfrey Dean building), and borrow a couple gardening films to relax with at the end of a long gardening day!

Twelve years after West Nile Disease, here we stand

I sometimes forget that our four oldest grandchildren never knew their grandfather when he was healthy. Never saw him leap high into the air and toss a ball into a hoop.

Never descended into a cave with him, hiked a mountain trail together, or knew him as someone who often laughed until tears rained down his cheeks. He’s rather Puddleglum-ish most days. And yet…

“My numbers are all good,” the Preacher reported, on returning from the doctor’s office.

“The doc is really pleased.”

“That’s great, Hon!” I responded. And it is.

In 2007, when West Nile Neurological Disease upended our lives, many expected the worst. But following countless prayers, lifted from around the globe, eleven days in ICU, several days in pal-

liative care, and another almost six months in rehab hospital, relearn-

ing everything from his own name to how to sit up, walk, talk and eat with his own hands, Rick returned home.

A walking miracle, many called him. Still do — even though that walking is done with the help of a walker. In the dozen years since (which have included a journey through colon cancer, surgery and chemo) we’ve had innumerable reasons to point back to God as the source of grace and restoration.

We are grateful for what remains.

But what remains?

Twelve years later, the long term effects of the virus the mosquito passed on still linger. Though Rick still preaches for

absent pastors, works with tools and bakes a mean loaf of bread, he needs long recuperation time. He has never been able to return to work.

Exhaustion remains my husband’s constant companion, along with brain fog (stemming from encephalitis), depression and chronic pain. None of those show up in standard test results. They are real nevertheless, as anyone suffering from an invisible illness can attest.

I live with (dearly love and greatly admire) a very differently-abled husband than the man I married. But instead of focusing on his losses, he forges on, finding meaning and fulfillment in the abilities that remain — and a few new ones he has gained. Woodworking and painting, making soup and baking bread.

And he takes an odd sort of satisfaction that, at least on paper, he appears a healthy retiree.

I concluded our 2009 book, West Nile Diary: One Couples Triumph

A13

over a Deadly Disease, with these words: “God is greater than (life’s) pirates. Life may never replace the treasure the villains steal, but faith enables a different perspective: the understanding that, as scripture repeatedly demonstrates, difficult experiences can produce treasure of a different sort.

“Always look for hope.

It will rise from unexpected places to lift you.

Inhabit it. Listen to its voice. Whatever the outcome of your brokenness, you will laugh again. You will find new beginnings at the blunt end of your experiences — even new treasure to invest in the lives of others. Your soul, reassembled, will reflect loveliness. And you may even fly again.”

If you’re facing a devastating diagnosis, that’s our prayer for you.

Crush softball hosts major event

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Crush Girls Softball Club hosted a major gathering for girls’ fastball.

The Yorkton Crush Nixon Electric Softball Day is one of the largest girls fastball event, at least in recent memory, and quite possibly ever in the city, with teams taking part in all five division from under-10 to under-19.

Teams attended from Manitoba, with squads entered from Roblin, St. Rose and Dauphin, as well as the local area including Melville, Esterhazy and Langenburg.

The day was not a formal tournament with teams battling for trophies, but instead was an opportunity for the teams to face some new competition, and that will help develop skills.

The Crush organization also came to bat on the weekend for the Yorkton Cardinals.

The Crush made a donation of $2700 to the cash-strapped Western Canadian Baseball League team to help it deal with at least some of its debt.

The money was from the concessions at York Lake Ball Diamonds on the weekend, most raised Sunday as the Crush hosted a fun tournament

Teams from a wide region attened the Yorkton Crush Nixon Electric Softball Day Sunday. with more than 20 teams involved, meaning a full parking lot, many family

members on-hand, and a busy concession.

That’s where the efforts of Samantha Hardy, Darren Kastrukoff, and Logan Ross get some extra credit, as the trio put in a very long day today at the Yorkton Crush concession making sure everyone was served. The three people are, large-

ly, responsible for over $2700 raised through burger/drink/confectionary sales.

It also should be noted the Crush opting to turn the concession over to help the Cardinals is greatly appreciated.

“We are extremely thankful for your act of generosity and also wish

to thank your volunteers for helping today as well,” said Cardinal spokesperson Mike Stackhouse. “The Cards will return the favor in the form of players working with the girls later this month and having a night at the park where all players can come on to the field and be recognized.”

Local youth catches tagged trout

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer When Justin Kidd went fishing at the Yorkton Trout Pond recently he was aware a trout with a yellow tag existed in the water, eluding anglers this spring.

But, he was hopeful because the elusive fish was worth catching for more than the joy of landing a big fish.

With the trout pond full of rainbow trout the Yorkton branch of the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation started a contest to see pictures of what was being caught.

Be the first to catch the trout with the yellow tag and you could win a fishing package and free tickets to ‘Sun’s out gun’s out’ trap shoot set for June 15.

Well the fish was been caught but Kidd.

“I wanted to get it,” he admitted, adding he has become a rather avid trout fisherman, visiting the pond after school on a fairly regular basis.

Major junior golf event for Deer Park

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer

Justin Kidd caught this tagged trout at the Yorkton Trout Pond to win a bundle of prizes.

Kidd used a spin cast rod and reel with a bottom rig to lure the big trout to bite. He said it was a battle to hook the trout, having to loosen the drag to keep on the retrieval. Once in the net the hook did come loose,

but by then Kidd had the trout, took a photo, and won the prize.

The prize included a fishing set up that included two new rods, reels, a tackle box, and lures, in addition to the trap shoot entries.

Deer Park Golf Course is readying things to host what will be the biggest event of the season at the course.

The Future Links driven by Acura Prairie Championships will hit the local course June 13 through 16.

“It’s a little bit for us,” said one of the event organizers Don Kunkel, who noted the tournament is specifically for youth 12-to-18.

“It’s part of the Future Links program through Golf Canada,” he added, the Yorkton event one of

several being held across the country.

“It culminates with a Canadian Championship in the fall.”

With the Yorkton event being a qualifier for a national final, Kunkel said they have had entries from farther afield than they had anticipated.

“We’re quite surprised by the entries,” he said.

“We expected Manitoba and Alberta, and of course Saskatchewan ... but there are entries from B.C, and Ontario. ... To get entries from BC and

Ontario is really good.”

While a few late entries might trickle in, Kunkel said it looks like 61 golfers will take part 17 girls and 44 boys.

The event will start with practice rounds June 13, and then get down to serious play with rounds Friday, Saturday and Sunday which count toward final placings.

If anyone is interested in helping with the event they can call Kunkel at 786-1713.

“We can always use more volunteers. I’ll never turn one down,” he said with a smile.

So much good news in sports world Yorkton This Week | www.YorktonThisWeek.com | Wednesday, June 5, 2019

Every time I think I am getting ahead of the curve writing a sports column ahead of time, teams I follow do something notable to talk about.

While most Canadian sports fans are dealing with a definite case of Raptor fever, and well they should be, they are not the only news in sports in Canada.

That said a Raptor win over the Golden State Warriors in game one of the National Basketball League finals is one of those sports moments of a lifetime for fans.

Whether the Raptors win the series, or not, the first finals win was huge in the history of the franchise, and frankly the sport of basketball in Canada.

The sport has been gaining fans for years, but it has been some-

thing of a trickle. With no Canadian team in the National Hockey League finals – yes I know St. Louis has many Canadian players, but it’s simply not the same – sports fans were in a viewing lull.

The Canadian Football League is not yet started, and the Toronto Blue Jays are frankly difficult to watch, so a hot Raptors team drew our attention, and that they are now in a real battle that could mean a championship, our imagination is fully captured.

That bodes well for the Raptors moving forward no matter the finals outcome, and could help with NBA expansion looking at Vancouver again, when the league finally moves to grow again.

It is also good news

CALVIN DANIELS

Sports for a fledgling league such as the Canadian Elite Basketball League and our Saskatchewan Rattlers. It might be the Raptors that are grabbing new fans, but those fans may just head to a CEBL game after the NBA finals wrap-up too.

The Rattlers certainly play an entertaining style of basketball, and they are deserving of attention.

By the way, if you like basketball, do check out

the American Ultimate Disc League (AUDL), which reminds a lot of basketball in terms of play style, even though it is an outdoor sport played on a near-footballsized field.

In terms of attention the Toronto Arrows used a drop kick in the final minutes of their Major League Rugby regular season finale to make the playoffs in their inaugural season, which is no small feat, even in a

league of only nine teams in its second year of play.

The Arrows, with a predominantly Canadian roster finished third with 11 wins in 18 games, the same win total as second place Seattle and fourth place New York (also in their first season).

The Arrows face defending champion Seattle in the semi-finals Saturday, at the home of the Seawolves, so they have their work cut out for them, but TO has been playing outstanding 15s rugby over the latter half of the season, so while likely an underdog, I would not count them out. It should be a great game, and worthy of attention.

Speaking of worthy of attention, I caught a couple of games of the Canadian Wild of

A15

Southern Illinois as they kicked off their first season in National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) League.

I grew up playing fastball, and frankly it is a sport I wish had greater prominence in terms of a professional game, although I will say the Wild played some great ball and have won sixstraight to start the season. There are not a lot of women’s sports that are on my watch list, but so far the ball here is very entertaining, and has my attention as most games appear to be online to watch.

Of note the Wild roster includes righthanded pitcher Kenzie Friesen and outfielder Jennifer Gilbert, both from Saskatoon, so there is a Saskatchewan connection.

Lady Gridders back for spring season

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Lady Gridders football program is back on the field for a short development season this spring.

The spring session is more about skill development than wins and losses, said coach Tyrell MacLean.

The team hosted Melville and Moosomin earlier this week, the three teams the only ones involved in the spring.

Everybody got to play

a little bit of a scrimmage to get some game-time experience,” he related.

“It’s more developmental in the spring.”

To help with that development “coaches go onto the field and into the huddle,” explained MacLean, adding they also simplify the game by not doing special teams work in-game.

As for numbers, MacLean said they are close to those they had last fall when the program was launched.

“It’s been a little bit tougher, (to get numbers).

Now we’re competing with fastball and soccer, all the things the girls have played before.”

So a handful of players are not back in uniform this spring, but we have “about 10” new players “so the numbers are fairly similar to last year,” said MacLean.

The spring season will run until June 21, with the Lady Gridders playing four games, Saturday in Melville, then hosting Moosomin June 7, hit-

Disc golf course now in Churchbridge The Churchbridge Credit Union Disc Golf will be officially opened Friday as part of June Daze festivities in the community.

The opening will takeplace between 4:00 and 5:30pm at the Churchbridge Campground.

“It will be a chance for people to try out the course,” said Rob Gosselin whose efforts led to the installation on the 12-basket course earlier this spring.

Gosselin said when he had a chance to try the sport he was hooked, and wanted to see his home community have the opportunity to play.

“Just prior to my effort to start a Churchbridge course, my wife and I had been invited by friends to try out disc golf for the first time at the Asessippi Beach and Campground course,” he said. “We had an absolute blast!

“I was impressed by how little was needed to play the game: all you need is a disc. Weather?

The game can be played rain or shine (or snow!).

Set-up? All you need are Tee’s, baskets, and a good location.

“Being new to the sport, we were impressed by how easy it was to learn, and how accessible it was -- how we could play it as a whole family despite the wild season of family life we are in with toddlers! To find a recreational activity that is fun for both adults and young kids was a real hit.

Now as I become more familiar with the game, I really like the challenge of improving my throws and it’s a thrill to get par on a tough basket.

“So I immediately began thinking how I could set a course up in Churchbridge and I had just the location in mind.

Within a week or two I had a preliminary design for a course and it just needed to be tested out

ting the road for a game on the 17th, then hosting Melville June 21. Local game times are 6 p.m. for

anyone wanting to head out to watch.

The Lady Gridders are also still welcoming play-

ers. Interested players can email tyrell@sasktel.net or find the Lady Gridders on Facebook.

The Yorkton Lady Gridders were at practice recently for the spring season.

Rob Gosselin and son Nathan. by those more familiar with the game.”

That is where Calvin Daniels and his son Adam, long involved with the regional Parkland Association of Disc Golf came in, spending an afternoon with Gosselin going over the course area.

“A big thank you to Calvin and Adam for helping test and tweak my course design! I could not have done this without them,” said Gosselin.

But wanting a course is not always enough, and Gosselin turned to Council in Churchbridge to get the green light to fully develop a course.

“In September of 2018 I proposed the idea of a disc golf course at the Churchbridge campground and I showed them my preliminary designs for a 9- and 12-basket course,” said Gosselin. “They were all thumbs up and said, ‘Go for it!’

“Though most were unfamiliar with the game, they saw its potential and encouraged me to do the 12-basket design for the course.

“So I formed a small committee and came up with a fundraising plan.

This March we actively sought out sponsors and I was stunned by the support for the project and the generosity of so many from the surrounding communities. Within

only a month I was able to raise all the necessary funds to purchase the 12 baskets for the course.”

Gosselin said the support was truly overwhelming.

“I admit that the fundraising part of the project felt like a second job for me at the time but I was so incredibly pleased by the positive response and how quickly everything came together,” he said.

“Within two and a half months of spreading the idea for the Churchbridge course, we had it in the ground.”

Gosselin said it is gratifying to have the course in play already.

“Honestly, it’s a thrill to have it completed. I take my family there as often as I can and my three-year-old son, Nathan, absolutely loves the game,” he said. “The Churchbridge campground is a beautiful area for the course, and the Prodigy baskets are stunning. You simply have to try it out.”

For anyone wanting to try the course, or the sport, discs will be available for rent/purchase at the opening Friday.

There will also be a raffle and/or disc throwing contest for your chance to win a disc golf set.

Cardinals still seeking first win of season

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Early season woes continue for the Yorkton Cardinals.

The Western Canadian Baseball League team dropped their fifth straight to start the 2019 season. The most recent loss came in Moose Jaw, their second straight to the Miller Express.

The Cardinals actually jumped out to an early lead, scoring twice in the top half of the first inning.

The lead was shortlived as Moose Jaw recorded six runs in the

Miller Express half of the second inning.

Yorkton tried to stay in contention adding two in the third, but Moose Jaw responded with seven in their half of the stanza.

Yorkton added three in the fifth to make it 13-7, but again Moose Jaw responded with one in their half of the fifth.

The teams traded runs in the sixth to make it 15-8, then Moose Jaw added one in the seventh to round out a 16-8 final.

Yorkton’s eight runs came on 10 hits, while Moose Jaw had 14 hits as they scored their 16 runs.

Michael Ross was the

winning pitcher, based on two innings of relief work.

Payton Harris was tagged with the loss, starting and lasting only 2.2 innings and allowing five hits, walking seven, and allowing nine earned runs.

Phil Whelan had a home run for the Cardinals, and two runs batted-in.

Tucker Zdunich and Blake Gallagher both went deep for the Miller Express. Zdunich also had three RBIs. The Yorkton Cardinals could not find traction in Moose Jaw Saturday

either.

The host Miller Express scored two in the first then added one in the second for a 3-0 lead.

The teams traded runs in the third and fourth to make it a 5-2 lead, but from that point on it was a Moose Jaw rampage.

They added one more run in the fifth, then tacked on six in the sixth, to round out a 12-2 win.

The Western Canadian Baseball League Cardinals managed only six hits while the Miller Express collected 11, their offence aided by eight walks and

Alex Orenczuk was the winning pitcher, based on 3.2 innings of scoreless relief work.

Starter Chris Maurin took the loss on the mound for Yorkton, tossing four innings and giving up five runs, all of them earned.

Home opener

The Yorkton Cardinals opened their home schedule in the Western Canadian Baseball League Friday evening.

The opposition was provided by their traditional rivals from Melville.

The home side would score first, notching one run in the bottom of the first inning.

The Millionaires would finally plate a run in the third to tie the game, going ahead when they scored a run in the fifth.

In the ninth a ball lost in the lights led to a triple for Melville, which was followed by three straight doubles, and then two hit batters, allowing the Millionaires to tack on three runs, for an eventual 5-1 win.

Michael Trayler was the winning pitcher for Melville, while Hut Smith was tagged with the loss for Yorkton.

Smith went seven innings as Yorkton’s starter, allowing only three hits, but walking four as he gave up two earned runs.

Cardinal head coach Robbie Dombrowski said it was a good effort lost late.

“We were really good for eight innings. We’re just short of pitchers,” he said, adding the team is piecing together mound time until a few additional pitchers arrive over the next couple of weeks.

On offence, Dombrowski said they have to find a way to score more runs.

“We’ve tried everything,” he said, adding he has had players hit away, try bunts and squeezes “Nothing’s going for us right now.”

Dombrowski does think the runs will happen sooner, than later.

“It’s going to come with time,” he said.

As for the ball lost in the lights, Dombrowski said he had an infielder in right field, again because players are still coming, so he can’t put too much into the miss.

That said, that fly ball get caught, and the next

double that was misplayed a bit at centre, and they are out of the ninth 2-1.

With the loss the Cardinals are zero-andthree to start the season.

In Melville

The Yorkton Cardinals kept it close last Thursday evening in Melville, at least for a while.

The game at Pirie Field, home of the Western Canadian Baseball League Millionaires was knotted at 1-1 after the opening inning, with the host-nine inching ahead scoring two in the fourth.

Melville made it a 5-1 lead until Yorkton plated a run in the top of the seventh to make it 5-2.

But then the proverbial wheels fell off the Cardinal bus. Melville scored four in the home half of the seventh, then added six more in the eighth to round out a 15-2 decision.

Luke Sommers was the winning pitcher for Melville, while Zachary Taylor took the loss for Yorkton.

Yorkton had seven hits in the game, while Melville had 17.

Each team committed two errors in the early season contest.

Matthew Korman had a stolen base for the Cardinals.

Season opener

The host Red Sox struck quickly plating a run in the bottom half of the first inning.

The slim one-run lead held until the top of the fourth when Yorkton found a run to tie the score.

It was a short-lived tie as Regina responded in the home half of the fourth scoring a pair to take a 3-1 lead.

The Sox put up a three spot in the sixth to extend their lead to 6-1, then adding two more in the eighth for a seasonopening 8-1 victory.

The Cardinals started Payton Harris from Hattiesburg, MS. He went two innings and was followed by different pitchers seeing action in the loss. The staff gave up a combined nine hits, eight walks, and eight runs all of them earned.

Phil Whelan from Canmore, AB., would plate Yorkton’s only run in the contest, while Matthew Korman of Calgary went four-forfour at the plate, on a night the Cardinals would have only seven hits as a team.

Kirk sets long jump record at districts

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer It was a jump Drew Kirk will long remember.

The Grade 12 student from Langenburg set a new district track meet record in long jump for his age category last Tuesday at 6.89 metres well beyond the previous mark of 6.46 metres.

Kirk said he had not expected to jump as far as he did, but added he felt confident he’d come “pretty close� to the record. “I knew I could break the record.�

The long jump was Kirk’s only event at the district meet hosted by Yorkton Regional High School Tuesday afternoon, with events scheduled for Wednesday as well.

Kirk said he used to run sprints, but with much of his time focused on volleyball – he will attend the University of Manitoba in the fall to play – he only competed in long jump this year. And, even in long jump his preparation was limited.

When asked how much practice he put in the reply was “not a lot.�

But his other endeavours have helped in long jump.

As a former sprinter Kirk said he gets some good speed in his run up to the jump.

And, in volleyball jumping at the net is a big part of sport, so that helped with his take off at the pit too, he said.

The record is a good way to wrap up his high school jumping, although he has one more meet ahead provincials in Moose Jaw. “It feels really good to set the record and end on a good note,� he said.

Drew Kirk jumped his way into the record books last week.

Sacred Heart athletes break records Four records were broken by Sacred Heart Athletes at East Central Districts over the last two days.

Leading the way for SHHS athletes was grade 9 rookie Alex Mushanski who broke a 49 year old record in the Midget Boys 400m race. This record was a long standing one from 1970. The old time was 54.60 and the new time was 53. 9 seconds.

Alex also won the Midget Boys Aggregate Award for top athlete in the midget boys category.

Sacred Heart had not only one, but two records set on Tuesday night. The second one was from National Track Contender Dami Ogunbiyi in the 100m sprint.

Dami broke

SHHS alumnus’ Preston Liebrecht’s record of 10.78 in 2012 with a new personal best time for Dami in a blistering pace of 10.68. Ogunbiyi won the Senior Boys Aggregate Award for top athlete in the Senior Boys category.

The third Sacred Heart record came on Wednesday from grade 10 girl, Kasey McCombs.

Kasey beat her own record from 2018 in the midget girls 80m hurdles.

The old record was 13.32 and today Kasey ran a 13.02. This was especially notable as the first race didn’t have a final time so Kasey had to rerun this race a second time only a few minutes after the first one. Kasey was the winner of the Midget Girls Aggregate

award. The midget girls category was notable for SHHS as the runner up was Jemimah Adefolarin from SHHS and the third place finisher was Belen Reed, also from SHHS. Sacred Heart wasn’t finished yet. They completed the meet with a fourth record! Camryn Danchilla broke the Junior Girls long jump record with a jump of 5 metres 27cm to break the record from 2012.

Camryn won the Junior Girls Aggregate award to give Sacred Heart four of the six high school aggregate awards!

Sacred Heart is excited to be sending 17 athletes to compete at Provincial Track and Field in Moose Jaw on June 7 and 8, 2019.

HOFFMAN - May Geraldine Hoffman (Frederickson) (nee Merkley) of Theodore, SK passed away on May 25, 2019 at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre. She was born on May 17, 1930 and was the seventh child of Walter and Alice Merkley. May is survived by her 2 daughters: Betty McPhee (Bill Ehmann), Lois (Bruce) Wilson, her grandchildren: Lana Hunko (Trevor Dombroski), Greg (Jeri Ryba) McPhee, Carla Serbu (Bob Wisniewski), Shannon (Devin) Blum, Michelle Wilson (Scott Greff), Jill (Ken) Hintze, Jody Wilson (Chris Warner), Blake (Nicole) Frederickson, Yarina (Sandro) Banerjee, 12 great-grandchildren: Danielle, Brendan, Zachary, Serayla, Kaylee, Rundle, Ava, Piper, Ellla, Clara, Delia and Adriano and her siblings: Helen Burnard, Dorothy Horn, Jim Merkley and her daughterin-law Judith Frederickson and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by husbands, Harold Frederickson, Bill Purvis and Leonard Hoffman and companion Stan Ruszkowski and recently her son Allen Frederickson. May enjoyed her life on the family farm east of Theodore but in 1997 moved away following Harold’s passing.

She returned in 2009 and lived there until 2014 when ill health caused her to become a resident of the Theodore Health Centre. She settled into her new home with enthusiasm and acceptance. When Allen was home he would take her out on a crop checking tour or at harvest time to ride in the combine. From time to time she visited Betty’s and Lois’ homes where she could sit outside watching the birds and see the flowers grow. She had a true passion for sewing and many a wedding dress or grad gown were sewn to perfection. At the Health Centre she did sewing alterations and repairs for staff and fellow residents. In the last few years she designed cushion covers that were unique and special because it was a gift of love from her. May was blessed with a zest for life which helped to carry her through tough times. Her kindness and smile was often commented on by all who knew her. The funeral service was held on Monday, June 3, 2019 from the Theodore Recreation Centre with Rev. Catherine Pace officiating. Organist, Arlene Fenske, led in the hymns ‘Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You’, ‘In the Bulb There is a Flower’ and ‘Those Hearts That We Have Treasured’. Ava Frederickson gave a piano solo. The eulogist was Greg McPhee, tributes were given by daughters Betty and Lois and a poem was read by Piper Frederickson. The interment took place in the Theodore Cemetery with granddaughters Lana Hunko and Carla Sebu serving as the urn bearers. Memorials may be made to the Theodore Health Centre Activity Fund as tokens of remembrance. Condolences can be left at baileysfuneralhome.com.

Sonja Pawliw, Jenn Remazoff and Allona Zeiben, compete in an ‘Iron Gardener’ event,

Friendly battle designing planters

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer You might call it the ‘battle of the iron gardeners’.

At least the event held recently by the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society was fashioned after the popular ‘Iron Chef’ cooking show explained Society member Keith Hayward.

“Iron Chef was the Career Opportunities

inspiration for this,” he said.

The idea was simple enough, three long-time Society members; Sonja Pawliw, Jenn Remazoff and Allona Zeiben, were each given a ‘mystery box’ of plants, and a large outdoor flower pot.

The timer was set to just under half an hour, and the friendly competition was under way.

The idea was to create unique arrangements Career Opportunities

with the plants in the box, although along the way a couple of curves were thrown in as trading plants part way into the pot arranging were called for.

“We wanted to do something fun,” said Hayward, adding the Society often has speakers and similar educational activities, but this time sought “a fun evening for the group.”

There was also a small fundraising element to the event as the completed pots were to be raffled off to members once completed.

On June 6, 1944, Toronto’s Allan Bacon was one of thousands of Canadians to arrive by boat on the shores of Juno Beach in Normandy, France. As this year marks the 75th anniversary of D-Day, 99-year-old Bacon is reflecting on that pivotal event.

the Canadian Scottish Regiment. When his tour of duty took him to Normandy, his role was in the mortar platoon.

“That was because I had difficulty opening one eye at a time, which was required to operate a rifle,” he recalls.

On June 17, 1944, Bacon was based in a barn, anticipating an attack that never came.

He went into a nearby shed to disarm the grenades when one exploded, resulting in the loss of his right arm.

When Bacon realized he’d lost his arm, his first thought was, “This will break my mother’s heart.” Bacon recovered at a hospital in England where he learned to use his left arm through exercises like washing windows.

On returning to Canada, he became a member of The War Amps, an Association started by amputee veterans returning from the

First World War to help each other adapt to their new reality. Today, Bacon continues to be active with The War Amps Toronto Branch.

Bacon’s daughter, Deborah Sliwinski, says, “In our family, we see my father as a hero. He talks about how losing his arm was the best thing that ever happened to him because it gave him the courage to try new things.”

When asked what he thinks of being called a hero, Bacon says that he didn’t do anything out of the ordinary, adding that at the time, men and women enlisted with the goal of protecting the country and he wanted to do the same.

Through the years, he along with his fellow War Amps members, have made it a goal to remember and commemorate their fallen comrades, and to educate youth about the horrors of war. “In Normandy, many Canadians died or suffered wounds that they had to carry for the rest of their lives,” says Bacon. “On anniversaries like D-Day, it’s important that we never forget.”

Take a walk and enjoy the downtown Yorkton This Week | www.YorktonThisWeek.com | Wednesday, June 5, 2019

Yorkton has an interesting downtown.

It’s an odd observation to make after living in a city for ten years, given that you would normally notice that immediately, but I did realize that recently while walking around one day. The downtown in this city is very interesting and worth exploring.

The city has a lot of interesting buildings from a variety of ages, neat old brick buildings, something slightly more modern right up against the side of it, lots of little green spaces, sometimes crammed into places you wouldn’t expect. Wander around downtown for a while and you’re going to find something neat and interesting looking that you haven’t noticed before. It’s a fun downtown, with a lot of history and little secrets.

So why haven’t I noticed it before?

I think we just don’t notice things because we live here. They kind of fade into the background because we’re used to seeing them every day.

It’s just a clothing store where I bought a suit once, it’s just a bank, it’s just a coffee shop. These are just places we use regularly, and at a certain point we use them so regularly that the background doesn’t even matter anymore.

So how do we appreciate it anew?

I think in this case, you have to realize it’s interesting, and look at the spaces around the city not as the background to your daily life, but as something worth looking at on their own. Go downtown not for a specific goal but just to enjoy it.

Don’t set out to spend money, but set out to just wander around for a bit and look around.

It’s easy to do that right now, because spring has arrived and we can just wander without purpose, because it’s a nice day and walking is a form of exercise.

Suddenly, you’ll start to see the city’s character, the mix of architectural styles that have popped up over the years as busi-

DEVIN WILGER

Thinking I do with words... nesses began and ended, and buildings were built and destroyed. You’ll start to notice the rem-

nants of old businesses on new ones, the way some places still hold onto their legacy even

decades later. You’ll notice interesting architecture, find cool paintings, discover fun places to sit and enjoy the weather.

It’s not approaching the city as a tourist, because tourists often have a goal in mind at the end of the day, and things they want to see. It’s just approaching it as something who doesn’t have a specific goal at all. If you’re not looking for one

A21

specific thing, you can see a lot of stuff you weren’t expecting.

Downtown Yorkton has a personality that a lot of people don’t expect to see, and it’s easy to miss when you’re not looking for it. But take a look around here, and you’re going to see a city that isn’t really like very many others in the province, and it’s worth a walk around just to see how unique it is.

Close Cuts support The 22nd Annual Close Cuts for Cancer washeld at the Parkland Mall Saturday. The annual fundraiser hosted by Brayden Ottenbreit Close Cuts for Cancer will run from 10 until 1 p.m., with many supporters having their hair cut as part of the money-raising effort. Close Cuts was given a head start on fundraising earlier this week as Legacy Co-op donated $500.

The game Imperium: The Contention is, as a result as rather entertaining one, although there is a but in this case.

Imperium, by designer Gary Dworetsky and publisher Contention Games, is a game for two to four players. It can expand to accommodate five, or six players, if you have two copies of the game, the basic lay-out for the bigger battle included in the rulebook.

Our initial run through, and first plays are those which typically stick with players, often determining whether a game becomes a favourite or is shelved, was with three players.

Games which have an element of player conflict rarely seem to work well in three-player mode.

The weak sister is soon sensed and the other two players play gang-up. It’s about as natural as our core nature probably is, so it’s not unexpected.

But, it detracts from the game.

Head-to-head play, or four-player are simply going to work better.

So what exactly is Imperium?

“Experience the world’s first 4X card game with deck customization, area control, and ship movement. Choose from one of six pre-constructed decks, or build your own from a complete collection of over 300 cards (no packs, all cards included). It’s 2-4 players, 1-6 players with expansions (Void Scepter

THE MEEPLE GUILD (Yorkton) meeple.guild@gmail.com Solo Campaign available),” states the publisher notes.

“You begin with a homeworld, in a new galaxy created by location cards. Each turn, you can colonize new worlds, move ships, play cards, and battle your enemies.

A unique simultaneous turn system eliminates downtime between turns.

Streamlined 4X mechanics keep the game fast paced and tensions high.

Cards are played simultaneously in secret and

revealed at the same time using a bluff mechanic.

“There are many paths to claiming the Void Scepter. Your favour represents your Imperial influence. If it reaches zero you lose. Weaken your enemy’s favor by destroying their worlds, or eliminate them outright by destroying their homeworld. Take the Imperial Capital through force, and use the seat of power to crush your enemy’s favor.”

There is some neat

aspects here, building a deck to fit a play style, definitely being a high point. That customization of decks means players can explore strategies, and that means the game has some built in reply value, which is a bonus too.

This is definitely a game that has enough to offer to make it worth a close look, especially if you like games set in the abyss of space.
