Father’s Day celebrated a bit early
Staff Photo by Cory Carlick
Father’s Day is coming up, and to celebrate, the Western Development Museum held their ‘Daddy and I, Coffee and Pie’ event Sunday. The kids and their dads came by to have some refreshments, and, of course, pie. “It’s just an opportunity for daddies, stepdads, granddads to come, you know, with some kids or their families to enjoy the museum, explore -- and some crafts,” said Solange Massicotte, Education and Public Events Coordinator for the Western Development Museum.
“We have an ‘I Spy’ game where we have objects [with] close up pictures of [these particular] objects and they have to go and find in the museum where it is. We also have a scavenger hunt which is something we commonly do. It’s kind of just a nice, fun afternoon where you can kind of celebrate Father’s Day a week in advance, because sometimes people have things on the actual Father’s Day. It’s something we do every year at the Museum.”
Fatal three-motor-vehicle collision H On June 8, 2019, at approximately 3:00 p.m., Yorkton RCMP attended the scene of a threemotor-vehicle collision on Highway 9, three-kilometres north of Yorkton,
SK. A minivan travelling southbound came into contact with a northbound utility trailer and collided with a northbound pickup truck.
The driver of the minivan, an 82-year-old female from Canora, SK, was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the pickup truck, a 37-yearold female from Yorkton,
SK, was transported by STARS Air Ambulance to Regina to be treated for core and lower body injuries. The occupants of the vehicle pulling the trailer were not injured.
The family of the deceased female has been notified. The name of the deceased will not be released. A collision analyst attended the scene and
the collision is still under investigation. Highway 9 reopened to circulation on June 8, 2019 at approximately 10:30 p.m.
Three bears sighted in Saltcoats By Cory Carlick Staff Writer An advisory was put out by the Town of Saltcoats on June 5th regarding three bears. The mother bear and three cubs were reported to have been spotted around Leflay Homestead on the east side.

action is expected to be taken unless the bears return and become disruptive. The Ministry of Environment reminds people that Saskatchewan has a healthy bear population and it is not uncommon to see bears in the wild at this time of year, especially young ones on the move as they are establish-
ing new territory. They are attracted to new smells and looking for food. Their range includes all northern Saskatchewan forests, extending southward into the aspen parkland, plus some more isolated ranges such as the Cypress Hills, Touchwood Hills, and the Qu’Appelle Valley. Most bears are cautious around humans and it is rare that they charge or chase a human in normal circum-

Ensure you take the appropriate precautions when enjoying provincial parks, campgrounds and natural areas.

Salvation Army garden gets support By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Salvation Army received a boost to its planned gardening efforts for its food bank this summer. Young’s Plant World recently donated several trays of vegetable plants, as well as vegetable seeds to the cause as part of the Salvation Army’s Growing Kindness campaign. The plants and seeds will be planted in a garden plot the Salvation Army is tending this summer, said Lieutenant Samuel Tim. The food that is grown in the garden will be distributed in the fall through the food bank so that people who need support can have “fresh produce, not just canned goods,” he said. The Growing Kindness campaign is about more than just the garden the Salvation Army is tending. It is also about inviting gardeners across the region to share some of what they grow, or to intentionally plant an extra row in the garden for the food bank and Grow Kindness throughout the community.
Carrie Olson and Lieutenant Samuel Tim carry plants out of Young’s Plant World.

75th Anniversary D-Day march held by Legion By Cory Carlick Staff Writer The 75th Anniversary of D-Day, with the Allies taking Juno Beach, was commemorated by a march to the cemetary, with the ashes of poppies spread on the graves of the veterans at the cemetery. The march commenced at 1800 hours through the streets, culminating in the arrival of the
final resting place of those that paid the ultimate sacrifice fighting for our freedom. Comrade Ed St. Pierre led the march, escorted by the Yorkton Community Safety Officer and the RCMP, with a full pipe and drums band. Constable A.

Politics Consider your friends for moment. If you live in rural Saskatchewan — especially on the farms — they may be your neighbours. But your neighbours will be much further apart than your parents’ neighbours and certainly your grandparents’ neighbours. Likely, more of your friends are not necessarily people in your community but people you are drawn to by shared values and beliefs. Better roads, telephones and now social media means you may spend less time interacting with those people than those in your community, making the definition of “community” a lot different than in past generations. This makes the modern-day politics slightly more challenging. It’s now less about catering to specific communities than those specific beliefs. But, really, what it is good, old-fashion populism in a different form. Back in the day, New Democrats and old CCFers politicians believed they met the very definition of a populist — “a political approach that strives to appeal to ordinary people who feel that their concerns are disregarded by established elite groups.” An most on the farm or in small towns in Saskatchewan back then considered themselves disregarded by the establishment. But such notions gave rise to community spirit of people pulling together. In turn, that gave rise to rural collectively concepts like the local Pool elevator, Co-op store and Credit Union that played into the NDP philosophy. So along comes a leader like Tommy Douglas running under the banner that he and the CCF were all about the little guy. We all are likely familiar with his Mouseland story which was all about black or white cats make rules and decisions to be benefit the rich, but really didn’t do much for the poor mice. This was the mantra of a populist. And from the time of the first Douglas election win that occurred 75 years ago this week to the time of the election of Brad Wall’s Saskatchewan Party 12 years ago, the NDP ran on that populist message. It was a successful formula, with governance in Saskatchewan uninterrupted except by the Ross Thatcher Liberals in the 1960s and the Grant Devine Conservatives in 1980s, it was a formula that was generally successful. Unfortunately for the NDP, the massive changes in the last forty years seemed to escape the NDP. Especially over the last 10 to 20 years, Saskatchewan has become a place of growing affluence. Average weekly salary have done up and so have farm income receipts have also increased Farming became a more entrepreneurial, marketing business longer in need of the Wheat Pool or the Canadian Wheat Board, with less interest and certainly less need in having an local co-op or credit union in each and every small Saskatchewan now. All that said, there nevertheless remains a strong feeling among many in Saskatchewan they are disregarded by the elite. For the most part, that means a distance elite federal government — especially the current Liberal government in Ottawa. That’s a huge problem for the NDP that have always addressed disenfranchisement by vowing to provide services to those in need. Today’s populist view is less about wanting or needing government services. And that feeling of dependence from government generally means less interest in paying taxes and less interest in a collective/co-operative approach to anything. Today, it’s far more likely to see a populist notion catch fire on the internet than to see it spread from community to community. So, for many, a four-cent-a-litre carbon tax on gas to collective deal with global warming now seems the ultimate case of the elite ignoring that ordinary people want. Such an approach is a big problem for the NDP right now. Populism is still going strong. But sure seems to have shifted to the right.

◆Editorial◆
Wage should not be Canadian minimum S
tarting Oct. 1, minimum wage earners in Saskatchewan will be taking home some extra coin. The province has said the minimum wage will increase to $11.32 an hour, up 26 cents. It is currently $11.06 an hour. The increase is just more than two per cent, which given increasing costs, whether looking at municipal property taxes, the impact of the federal carbon tax, or a range of other things that impact personal budgets, is a modest one. But of greater debate is that even with the increase in October, the minimum wage in Saskatchewan remains the lowest among Canadian provinces. Manitoba currently has the secondlowest minimum wage at $11.35 an hour, but it is increasing to $11.65 hour on Oct. 1, so will be higher than here. Alberta has the country’s highest minimum wage at $15.00 an hour. There have been those calling for a $15 minimum wage in Saskatchewan, which makes some sense when you consider the province has to be at least somewhat competitive with its neighbour to the west. The $3.68 difference is a significant difference. There certainly seems room to push the minimum wage in Saskatchewan higher although some will suggest bumping it too much would negatively impact the economy. Certainly, to dramatic an increase, at least at one time, would cause some issues.
However, moving out of the basement in terms of the rate provincially would seem reasonable, especially if we believe the reports out of Regina by the current government regarding a relatively boisterous economy, certainly one that should be able to pay the minimum wage earner more than the lowest established base wage in the country. It should be remembered that the minimum wage is essentially the baseline for workers to be able to live reasonably in our society. Come October a minimum wage earner working a 40-hour work week, an increasing rarity in terms of minimum wage jobs, will gross $452.80, or $1811.20 a month. When you start to think about rent, utilities, clothes, food and the other costs of generally surviving the margin is obviously razor thin. A $15 wage increases the totals to $600 a week, or $2400 monthly, still not a wage allowing for largess in lifestyle. Clearly being at the bottom of the scale should not be seen as acceptable. That means a plan is required, one that sets out a reasonable target, somewhere between dead last, and $15, and a phase in over a reasonable amount of time to allow employers to plan for the impact. It would seem a reasonable expectation from our political parties as we begin looking ahead to the next provincial election in the fall of 2020.

Picnic
A5
Staff Photos by Calvin Daniels
It was supper on the street time in Bredenbury June 4 as the local Lions Club hosted its annual community picnic. A section of Third Avenue in the community was blocked off, adjacent to the downtown playground which was convenient for the younger attendees. While children played, or took rides on a garden tractor pulled trolley, adults could enjoy hotdogs, hamburgers, baked beans, potato salad and watermelon, all for just a donation.
Letters to the Editor Two heroic women Dear Editor: On May 27, Jody Wilson Raybould and Dr. Jane Philpott both announced that they would be running in the next federal election as Independents. Then two days later on May 29, 2019 it was declared by a Quebec judge that SNC Lavalin were going to court. SNC Lavalin had been the instrument that had created the tension between the Attorney General and the PMO which attracted the focus of Canadian news in the first three months of 2019. JWR kept the rule of law as her guiding principle while the PMO attempted to rescue a troubled financial supporter. It was the former attorney general who resisted the pressure from within her party. For standing on her principles, and being supported by Jane Philpott they were both kicked out of the Liberal caucus. With today’s announcement that SNC are going to be facing criminal charges, the Liberal scandal will be further exposed, elevating the nobility of JWR. This recent set of events makes heroes out of these two women, shames the prime minister even further and raises the issue of partisan politics. There are three hundred and thirtyeight seats in the federal House of Commons in Ottawa, but only three recognized national parties. With partisan politics being the norm, we have three basic choices during any federal election. Partisan politics dictates teamwork, which means that the MP follows the rules that the leader or party whip dictates. We are duped to believe that our member of parliament is representing us in Ottawa, but the reality is that they are hardly free to voice their own opinions unless it follows party lines. They are either slaves to the system or enforcers of the system. Trudeau had promised electoral reform for our next election. When he made that promise, the Liberals were a third place party. Now as the elected government, the system that we have is too favourable for them to toss it aside. He also promised that politics would be done differently, but the “old boys club” connected to the multinationals trumps justice, fairness, openness and transparency. In its place is corruption, division and more scandals. What happens if you don’t follow party lines? Our two martyrs for the cause of justice found out. They both held
highly respected cabinet positions, but because they didn’t respect the leader’s direction, they were first demoted and then fired from the Liberal caucus remaining as Independents. The conflict began in Sept. 2018 and has left permanent scars in the Liberal Party of Canada. The two honourable members believed that a government could be open, transparent, and able to follow the rule of law. They believed in teamwork. They were
betrayed by the team that they thought they were on. They discovered that the team was deceptive, secretive and not willing to follow the rule of law. It was as if the team was breaking the rules, moving the goal posts, providing their own referee and doing everything possible to cover up their scandal. On May 27, 2019 they both announced that they would be running in the 2019 federal election as Independents. These two women have
maintained principles, held high levels of integrity, have spoken their own truths and have remained unmoved by partisan pressure. They have kept their honour and offer challenges to our Canadian political model which is based on partisan politics. Their first reward for holding high standards should be their re-election as Independents by their own constituents. Let’s watch! Rod Degenstein Yorkton, SK

Where Does Our Water Come From? Where does our water come from? Yorkton gets its water from five main underground aquifers in and around the city accessed through 13 different wells. We are the only major city in the province that obtains our water entirely from ground water. After the ground water is treated at the water treatment plant on Queen Street and moved into the reservoir at the site, it is piped through the City via large underground water main pipes. These pipes branch off into smaller distribution pipes which connect to every tap in Yorkton. The plant processes approximately 2,700,000 cubic metres of water annually for residential, commercial and industrial use in the community.
NOTICE
In order to maintain the safety of visitors, employees, and equipment, as well as the appearance of the Cemetery, the staff will remove any memorial or memorialization when it is considered necessary for the efficient operation of the Cemetery. (City of Yorkton Cemetery Bylaw 03/2017)
Please be advised that any personal memorials that are not in vases attached or affixed to the monument may be removed. Any items that have been removed, can be picked up from the east side of the Cemetery office.

Rural internet still isn’t always on
Recently, Google announced its Stadia platform. It is a way for people to play games, with most of the processing happening off site on different hardware, and streaming the games to the end user. They tout this as the future, a way for people to have a gaming console without the purchase of expensive hardware. With a subscription service and Google doing most of the heavy lifting, the theory is that all you need is a good connection and games will come to you. In the same week, family members had another chapter in their eternal
frustration surrounding rural internet. It is assumed that they would not be customers for Google’s program, because they don’t have a connection stable enough to actually run it. Indeed, if there’s any service that would require a constant connection, they couldn’t use it. This is something that is often not considered when it comes to rural customers. If you live near Google, and are a Google employee, you’ve got a lovely, constant, high speed connection that never goes out. These ideas, inevitably, work. Why not offload
DEVIN WILGER
Thinking I do with words... most of the processing to a remote server? It makes sense, in that context. There are cars that can use a phone to lock, unlock and start, which is great in areas with cell coverage. Not so great in areas where you lose it, and everyone in this
province has driven through those areas. It’s a consequence of living in a relatively sparsely populated country, far away from where engineers might think this is a good idea. Of course, we’re talking about video games
here, which are a leisure activity and a bit of an indulgence, but on the other hand, it’s an idea that could spread to other parts of our life. There are online thermostats, online appliances, online vehicles. Already, plenty of business is done strictly online, and the loss of a connection is going to cause a massive roadblock for a business. It’s a reminder that we need to stop sometimes and consider whether doing everything online is actually a good plan. It’s getting to the point where a connection is like electricity, necessary to do most things
required for modern life. The juxtaposition of these two events made me realize that if we’re going to integrate an online connection that fully into our life, where it’s necessary for something we purchased to function, we’re going to have to take a step back and consider just how advisable it is, and consider just how this is going to affect people who can’t reliably get a connection. We start with a leisure activity, but when it gets more serious, we’re getting into dangerous ground, especially in rural areas.
The SPCA in Yorkton held its annual fund-raising ‘yard sale’ on Saturday.
SCPA barbeque fundraiser caps the weekend By Cory Carlick Staff Writer The Yorkton SPCA, a non-profit, volunteer run organization, held a fundraising barbeque
this weekend. The proceeds go towards the costs of taking care of heartwarming, homeless pets still looking for someone to love them and give them a forever
home. People came by to look at the items on offer, have a burger and hot dog and make a donation to a great cause. “The SPCA has been
in Yorkton for 43 years,” said Joan Kobylko, manager of the SPCA. “We are a non-profit and not a government organization. We are a registered charity. We
run strictly on donations and fundraising, so all of our fundraisers are extremely important regardless of the size. If you missed the barbeque but would still
like to donate, fear not: you can make a donation in person at 79 7th Ave North, or online at https:// www.yorktonspca.com/. Just click the ‘Donate Now’ button.
Oil and gas offering for June The latest public offering of Crown petroleum and natural gas rights held Tuesday, June 4, generated more than $6 million in rev-

CWB will not go away as agriculture issue Being a rather longin-the-tooth reporter of things agricultural on the Canadian Prairies – some three decades now – there have of course been some constants to what makes news. The weather remains at the top of the heap in terms of a topic covered regularly in agricultural, followed by commodity prices, government subsidies, and of course the Canadian Wheat Board. But, wait, the Canadian Wheat Board is long gone you say. That is correct. The Canadian Wheat Board’s single desk marketing power officially ended Aug. 1, 2012 as a result of Bill C-18, also known as the Marketing
Freedom for Grain Farmers Act, which was tabled by the Stephen Harper government and passed in December 2011. The Act effectively started the dismantling of the CWB which was established in July 1935, its operation was governed by the Canadian Wheat Board Act as a mandatory producer marketing system for wheat and barley in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and a small part of British Columbia. However, in the world of agriculture things have a tendency to linger, to hang around, to fight to have something grow new from an old root. That is the case with the CWB. Its ghost is still out there and
Agriculture THIS WEEK
Calvin Daniels there are supporters of it who are still trying to breathe some sort of life back into its corpse. It would seem safe to say that the single desk selling body that was the old CWB will never rise again, but politics shift quickly these days, and an extended trade war with the power of China on one side and the deep pockets of the
US, and its volatile leader Donald Trump could create a vastly different mindset for producers a year from now. Still, that is a long shot. But producers who favoured the CWB, and in general terms that number was significant, probably closer to 50 per cent than producers for change would like to admit, still want some
answers to what happened, or more importantly how it transpired. Prairie farmers opposed to the way the CWB was dismantled made an appearance in the Manitoba Court of Queen’s Bench May 28. The farmers, supported by an organization known as Friends of the Canadian Wheat Board (FCWB), hope to launch a class action lawsuit against the federal government for its handling of the CWB and its demise. The group feels the Harper government didn’t treat farmers fairly when it dismantled the CWB. That of course is largely a matter of perspective as farmers fighting for change were
generally pleased to see the CWB go. There is a dollar figure involved here too, with the FCWB contending the government’s actions resulted in more $150 million being withheld from farmers in the 2010-11 and 2011-12 crop years. That is no small amount, but whether a red cent of it will ever get to a grain farmer’s pocket even with a court win is a big question. As is the question of when the CWB will finally be only a section of agriculture history in this country and not a story still being written. Calvin Daniels is Editor with Yorkton This Week.
Pizza Farm teaches about farming By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The annual ‘Pizza Farm’ spring tours for students took place this week, with hundreds of youth involved. The Pizza Farm, an idea launched in Yorkton seven years ago, and now copied at several places in the province, attracted 360 students from nine different schools, and two school divisions, said Rachel Kraynick, an Ag Program Specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture and Food in Yorkton, and an event organizer. The Grade 3 students visited the Pizza Farm located at the Bayer Research Farm east of the city, where they were walked through eight different stations, all designed to provide some insight into agriculture, said Kraynick. The stations included one pertaining to genetically modified crops, explaining what GM means, and what its benefits to agriculture are, said Kraynick. Another station focused on farm safety, while a third, with the help of Mosaic taught about fertilizer. Another station looked at water, in particular the importance of riparian areas, said Kraynick. The display included a
chance to do some ‘critter dipping’, taking a water sample from a natural water body to see what actually lives in the water. Pattison Agriculture had an air seeder on-site for the students to get to know a bit more about modern farm equipment. The staff of FCC in the city had a vegetable planting station where students helped put tomatoes, peppers and onions, all pizza ingredients into the garden area. Grain Millers provided information of field crops including oats, corn and peas, said Kraynick, while another station dealt with wheat and canola as well as the use of crop protection products. Kraynick said the Grade 3 students will return to the site in the fall to see what has grown, and learn at harvest, adding by then they will be in Grade 4. Kraynick also thanked Domino’s Pizza for providing lunch for all the students and volunteers both days. Kraynick said the learning stations, and in fact the entire program would not be possible without a legion of volunteers. She said 40 people helped over the two days, and some added support was given by a group of students from Sacred Heart High School who helped with the younger students throughout the two days.

Students had an opportunity last week to learn about safety in a number of areas including how to be safe mowing lawns, working around farm equipment and how to be safe around water.
Learning about the safety of things It was a whirlwind of a day June 6, as the Yorkton Exhibition Association hosted almost 400 students for the annual Safety Day The students attending were from Grade 5 and 6 from a number of schools in Yorkton, and the surrounding area. The students had an opportunity to visit 10 stations each with a focus on educating about safety in different careers and aspects of their lives. Stations included; Lawn Equipment Safety – Yorkton New Holland Hand Tool Safety – Logan Stevens
Construction PTO Safety – Pattison Agriculture Fire Safety – Yorkton Fire Department Water Safety – Gallagher Centre Water Park Air Pollution Safety – Public Health First Aid – St. Johns Ambulance Railroad Safety – CN Police Electrical Safety – Sask Power Wilderness Safety – Parkland Search and Rescue Legacy Co-op generously donated the lunch served to the students. — Submitted

wheat, durum, canola, and canary seed are seeded, while 98 per cent of oats, barley, and flax are planted. Little rainfall was reported this past week throughout the province, with amounts ranging from 0 to 18 mm in the Rocanville area. Significant rain is needed soon across the province to help with crop growth and emergence as well as with the establishment and growth of hay land and pastures. Topsoil moisture
conditions continue to deteriorate across the province due to strong winds and lack of moisture. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 22 per cent adequate, 47 per cent short and 31 per cent very short. Topsoil moisture on hay land and pasture is rated as 18 per cent adequate, 42 per cent short, and 40 per cent very short. Hay and pasture growth has been slow due to little rainfall. The majority of crop conditions range from poor to
good across the province. Crop growth is delayed in much of the province due to the lack of moisture. The majority of crop damage this past week was due to strong winds, insects such as flea beetles and cutworms, and the lack of moisture. Farmers are busy making in-crop pesticide applications to control weeds and insects. A complete, printable version of the Crop Report is available online at www.saskatchewan.ca/crop-report.

Fun was in the air north of the Parkland Mall with the Re/Max Family Fun Day, with events like a bouncy castle, inflatable darts and, best of all, hot air balloon
rides for the entire family. All money raised from the event goes to the Children’s Miracle Network.
Re/Max Family Fun Day to benefit Sask. kids in hospital By Cory Carlick Staff Writer RE/MAX just held its 5th annual Family Fun day, with a hot air balloon available to ride, complete with burners and the works. There was also a giant inflatable dartboard, a
bouncy castle, food and all kinds of other great activities for the kids --- and parents too. “We started 5 years ago and set a goal to raise $50,000 for the Childrens Miracle Network,” said Doug Jonassen of RE/MAX Blue Chip Realty here in Yorkton. “This money goes to the Childrens Hospitals of
Saskatchewan. “In the first four years we have raised $45,797.79. So we need to raise $4202.21 this year to reach our goal of $50,000.” The final tally wasn’t available as of print time, but if the turnout was any indication, the event appeared to be a huge success.
Birdhouses become cancer fundraiser Elgin Strocien began building birdhouses as a hobby and it turned into a fundraiser for the Brayden Ottenbreit Close Cuts for Cancer - Local Cancer Initiatives Program in 2019. When cancer struck his daughter, Elgin decided to donate $1 from each birdhouse that was sold this year. The Close Cuts ‘Cancer is for the Birds’ fundraiser that ran in April using Strocien’s birdhouse turned out
to be very successful raising $1360. All of the funds will be directed to The Health Foundation for the upgrade of the digital mammography equipment at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre. Birdhouses were available at Haas Nissan by donation, and will continue to be available throughout the year Plans are underway to hold a birdhouse painting event fundraiser in early 2020. Submitted

Horticulture windup set for June 19 The season of meetings is coming to a close! 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. You know how we always encourage each other to try at least one new plant each year? I’d like to tell you about one that we tried last year, and it did so well that we added one more to our collection this year. The plant is ornamental carex grass, “Ice Dance”, a lovely robust plant of slender green leaves edged in white. It is a variegated sedge, part of the large carex family of grasses that has more than 2000 species. This grass is a perennial that forms a dense mound, about twelve inches tall, and will do well in all conditions from part shade to full shade. The only spot it will not prefer is an area of full, hot sun. It would do well as a ground cover or an edging plant, and their usual way of spreading is by rhizomes. Once it is established, its water needs are average, although it doesn’t like wet feet. Last year, we had our “Ice Dance” planted in a large container. It looked beautiful, very architectural with its sturdy leaves, and when fall came we planted it in the garden to hopefully win-

Gardener’s Notebook ter over. But because it was new to us, we weren’t sure if it would survive. Well, guess what, it came through the winter with flying colors. In fact, as the snow began to melt in the spring, the grass looked as fresh as if we just planted it, although it was squashed down from the weight of the snow. We were thrilled, because it was truly lovely. We planted it in a container again, trimmed off the leaf tips that were dried up, and it is once again a striking part of our container collection. Just as a note, we did make a point of shovelling snow on this plant and other container plants that were transplanted into the garden in the fall, just to give them that extra bit of insulation. Ninety percent of them came through. Some are just getting their second wind now, but still, they went through a hard winter! So if you are looking for an interesting grass to add to your perennial bed, this one is a nice choice! “Karl Foerster” is still the king of elegant grasses, but it’s nice to have a variety of grasses with different leaf shapes and colors.
One that was not all that common for a while but is once again getting back in the spotlight is blue fescue. This beautiful puff of very slender grass stems, in the loveliest misty blue-green, is a perennial that likes full sun and is quite drought tolerant. I remember that Sweet Pea had several in a clump in a garden island, and my, they looked striking! Imagine if you had a collection: tall and handsome Karl Foerster in the background, then several “Ice Dance” carex for the next layer, then a grouping of shorter blue fescue for the final layer. Accent this with a layer of bark mulch and a few rocks and a Japanese lantern, and you’ve got a beautiful patch that will look stunning all summer, without one bloom in sight! And if you want to grow “Ice Dance” in a container, it will do fine, but remember that you will have to plant it in the ground for the winter. It will not survive if you leave it in the container. Visit us at www.yorktonhort.ca, and have a great week! Be sure to wear a hat!

What lies between life and eternity? Dad, ninety five now and in a nursing home, receives some surprising company. “Dave comes to visit me,” he’s told me and my siblings often. “He sits beside the bed and reads me the Bible.” Dad’s twin brother Dave, my favourite uncle, died two years ago. That doesn’t bother my father. “You know,” he continues, “it’s a funny thing. When he was still here, he couldn’t read well. Now he does. And I’m glad he does, because I can’t read so good anymore myself.” He gets other visitors too. “Mommy was here today,” he told me once, when we could still speak
on the phone. “She didn’t stay long, but it was sure nice to see her.” That startled me. “My mother or your mother?” “Yours!” he said. But Mom, his wife of sixtytwo years, died in 2014 at ninety-five herself. “She never says much, but she pops in from time to time to check on me.” I pondered that a bit. “Well, Dad, the next time she shows up, put her on the phone, okay? I miss her so much.” He chuckled. “Kathleen,” he said, in the same, “don’t be silly, child” voice he used on me decades ago. “It doesn’t work like that. But she’s driving now, you know. Got her licence

after she left.” Mom never drove a car. “She doesn’t drive very fast, mind you, but she’s a good driver.” Words escape my reach. “Well, good for her,” I manage. Apparently his own mother, who I never met, comes to visit too. And a few others he can’t
name. They stand around his bed. Sometimes they sing. He’s never frightened; just accepting and glad of their company. Honestly, I don’t know what to make of Dad’s stories. But my cousin, Rena, Dave’s daughter tells similar ones about her own father’s last years in a nursing home.
And others have told me the same kind of things involving their elderly parents. On my last visit to Dad in BC, my sis and I wheeled him one floor down to visit a pair of old friends. Pastor Bruce and his wife, Lorene were both extremely fragile, but they remembered Mom and Dad. “You must miss Agnes,” Lorene said. “I sure do,” Dad said. “But she comes to visit me, you know…” Lorene’s eyes widened and flew to my sister, who made a sign the elderly pastor’s wife understood instantly to mean Dad was confused.
She recovered marvellously. “Well,” she said. “Isn’t that nice of her?” “Sure is,” said my dad. “She’s driving now, you know…got her licence after she left…” Before taking Dad back upstairs, Pastor Bruce prayed. A beautiful prayer, strong and articulate. I felt a holy presence in that room in those moments. The elderly clergyman died three months later. I’m glad for Dad’s visitors, believers in Jesus, all of them. And I’ve come to suspect that the veil between here and eternity is far thinner than it seems. One day I’ll know for certain

Practice will be key as four local archers prepare to head to a world competition in Tennessee in July.
Yorkton archers to compete in Tennessee By Cory Carlick Staff Writer Four Yorkton archers have made the Canadian national team, and will be competing against the best of the world in Nashville, Tennessee this July. Mike Jarvis, the archery coach, is justifiably proud of his athletes, all members of NASP (National Archery in the
Schools Program) . Cailin Jarvis is one of the champion archers. “The big one was the World All-Stars 2018 in Calgary this year,” Jarvis said. “So basically, that was four countries -- Canada, United States, Namibia and South Africa. They all brought the top sixteen of their shooters, and it was a three day competi-
tion so we shot a lot over those three days. There was target shooting the first two days and 3D, which are the animal targets, which is a new-ish kind of tournament now. High stakes, but it was fun shooting there. “You don’t really think how everyone in the world is shooting the exact same thing. Then when you get all of the best shooters together, it’s kind of
a really eye opening experience.” Charne Esterhuyse agrees. “I got to compete against some of the best archers in the world,” Esterhuyse says. Showing her high internal standards, Esterhuyse was frank in her assessment. “Canada did ok. The USA reeled us out a little bit. Hopefully this year we’ll get
them back a little bit!” Emma Parkvold is newer to NASP, but has been shooting since elementary school and is on the world class team this year. “We’re just practicing trying to get ready for worlds this summer. This is my first one. You just practice, make sure your technique is good and do your best.”
Cardinals fall to the Red Sox Monday By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The Yorkton Cardinals have struggled to put a win together this season, with a record of 1 and 11 so far this season. The latest chance was an afternoon game against the Regina Red Sox on June 4. The Cardinals stuck in through the last inning, before finally falling 5-2 after 9 innings. The game was scoreless until the fourth, with Regina starting the scoring with two runs, one from Erik Crossman off of a hit from Chris Diehl, while Robbie Wilkes came home from a hit from Griffin Keller. Yorkton got a run of their own immediately after, with Jason Wallace going from first to home during the at bat of Gage Buck. Regina put another run on the board in the fifth, with Wesley Moss getting home after an Erik Crossman hit. In the sixth, Chris Diehl made it home thanks to a hit from Samuel de la Cruz. In the seventh, Wesley Moss came home a second time on a hit from Robbie Wilkes. Yorkton got their second run of the game thanks to an error from Regina, allowing Gage Buck to make an unearned run. Coach Robbie Dombrowski said that while they’ve had a tough
The Yorkton Cardinals have struggled to find wins early in the Western Canadian Baseball League season. start to the season, they have still been in the hunt for the games, and they’re still going into it with the right attitude. “This whole week, we’ve been in close ball games, which is an improvement for us and really, if you look at the beginning of the week, we’ve got the two best teams in the league. We’ve got Regina and we’ve got Weyburn, and it’s towards the end of a long seven game stretch, I was worried a little about our pitching, and every guy I put in there really competed on the

mound. I know we’ve got guys who can hit, and while they didn’t show it today, if we continue to pitching performances like that, we’re going to win some ball games. It’s going to get better.” While the start of the season has been rocky for the Cardinals, the defense is starting to get on track, and now they have to work on hitting. “The pitching and defense today were good
enough to win,” said Dombrowski. Next up for the Cardinals is a meeting against the Weyburn Beavers in Yorkton at Jubilee Park on June 12. It won’t be an easy game, as they’re against the top team in the league, but the Cardinals have been in close against them in previous games. “We have the talent to beat them, and the expectation is to beat them. We
don’t ever come into a game going ‘oh shoot they’re 10 and 2 and whatever our record is, we’re going to lose this game.’ That’s never our attitude, and it’s my job as a coach to set that tone, no matter if we’re playing Melville, Weyburn or the New York Yankees. We come out and we expect to win. That’s something we haven’t had yet, that expectation, it’s going to come as we get a bit of
confidence and get a couple of wins under our belt,” Dombrowski said. While the lack of hits was a disappointment against Regina, Dombrowski believes they’ll put it together soon. “That’s the way baseball goes, sometimes you’re hot, sometimes you’re not. But the way we’ve hit the last two games, we’re due to get hot!”

The excitement of sport expansion Few things in sport grab my attention more than talk of expansion, or of new pro leagues, and it is a stress diversion as we await the ultimate fate of the Toronto Raptors It is fascinating to me to see the continued interest out there to expand upon the sporting options we fans can follow. Expansion of course is rather straightforward to understand, and is talked about for two simple reasons. On the one hand there are large, long-established leagues which look to expansion as a way to grow their market, and for existing owners to pocket some cash in the process. Nowhere is that better illustrated than with the National Hockey League. Certainly the great experiment which was a move into Las Vegas has been a huge success,
and it is likely Seattle – already a solid hockey town – will be as well, but the expansion fees are a nice bonus for NHL teams some of which are not likely generating much in the way of profits. How many times can the NHL expand though? It would not surprise this humble scribe if Houston and Kansas City are still in the mind of league Commissioner Gary Bettman for expansion, and if he wanted to look to Canada in a more reasonable way, a second team in Toronto would fly. I know too a team would work in Quebec City again, but as the NHL raises the expansion fees ever higher it may well be pricing QC out of the picture. The other established leagues are talking expansion much more quietly. In Canada we live in hopes of the MLB
CALVIN DANIELS
Sports back in Montreal and the NBA in Vancouver, but both are barely whispers. The other side of expansion are new leagues emerging and trying to get to the point where they are seen as relevant. It’s not exactly a science in terms of how many teams signal relevancy for a league, although in a market as large as North America 16 is a number I’ve adopted as foundational based on a few articles I have seen floating around the Internet.
That is certainly the number the National Lacrosse League is pushing hard to get too, with expansion for the 2019-20 season set to bring the league up to 13 teams. The league commissioner Nick Sakiewicz has also stated every effort is being made to hit 16 teams with three more seasons, and then the potential he talks about is 30, although I’m not sure if, or when that might be achieved. Somewhere in the expansion of the NLL Edmonton is likely to be
back in the league, with my guess by the time they grow to 18. A touch farther down the road expect a team in Quebec too, and maybe a second team in Ontario, all of which would be great for the sport in this country. Major League Rugby is also in grwith mode. In its second season the league has nine teams, two new this year. In 2020, they will add three more, and I have heard at least one team official suggest the league has an eye on 26 teams one day. With Toronto in the fold, and chasing a playoff spot in their first season, the league is going to be a boon for the 15s game in this country. There will be a team in Vancouver one day, although maybe not until they are up to 16, or 18 teams. There is certainly talent in the west to feed a team in B.C., and as a huge rugby fan it cannot

happen too soon. Then there is the Canadian Elite Basketball League. Only weeks old the six-team, FIBA rules league with its focus on Canadian players, is already hinting at expansion. Saskatchewan Rattlers president Lee Genier suggested in a half-time segment that expansion for 2020 was going to happen, and that the CEBL is already looking ahead to 12 teams, a very reasonable number when confined to Canada. It shouldn’t be too hard to see that growth with B.C. large enough to be home to more than one team, (Fraser Valley Bandits), and cities such as Calgary, Winnipeg, Ottawa, and Montreal without teams at present. I also have to again put in a plug for the Rattlers, who are hughly entertaining, and can be seen free via CEBL TV
Cards gain ground with Weyburn By Cory Carlick Staff Writer The Yorkton Cardinals
are starting to find their stride as the new team gets to know each other. Tied against Weyburn in
the 5th inning, eventually after a valiant effort the Beavers took the game 7-5.
After a solid win against the Moose Jaw Millers Friday night, Yorkton has struggled a little bit with the Beavers, having lost Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The gaps, however, closed substantially
with each play as they started to figure out their opponent. An 11-0 loss, followed by a loss of 7-2 and a much closer 7-5 right at the heels show the team learns quickly. The Cards get a third
chance at redemption Wednesday night, 7:05 pm at Jubilee Park.

Sacred Heart has big weekend Sacred Heart High School win 4th and 5th Provincial Championships at Track and Field Provincials The 2018-2019 school year has been filled with Provincial Championships for Sacred Heart High School. Leading the way was the Boys 2A Soccer Team who won Gold in North Battleford in the fall. A second provincial championship was won at the Skills Canada competition in April in the area of Video Production. Sacred Heart won a third provincial championship at the 2019 Provincial High School Drama Festival in May. Their play, ‘The Last Fill,’ won Best Overall Production. Sacred Heart’s 4th and 5th championship titles came in Provincial Track and Field competition held Friday, June 7 and Saturday, June 8 at Guthridge Field in Moose Jaw. Leading the way with a provincial championship gold medal in the midget boys’ 400m race was Grade 9 athlete, Alex Mushanski. Alex finished the final with an extremely fast time of 53.01. This was even faster than his record breaking time of 53.85 seconds set at East Central districts. In addition to his provincial championship Alex also placed 6th in the 200m race with a time of 24.09 seconds. Sacred Heart won a second Provincial cham-

In addition to her provincial championship, Kasey also had two top 8 placements. She finished 5th in the 80m - hurdles with a time of 13.15 seconds and 6th in long jump with a jump of 4 metres 56 cm. Sacred Heart won a third medal on Friday night. This one came in the Senior Boys 100m sprint. Dami Ogunbiyi won a gold medal in this event in each of his grade 9, 10 and 11 years but this year had to settle for a bronze medal. He finished with a time of 11.06 seconds in an extremely close finish. The gold medalist, Blake Killam,
finished in a time of 11. 03 seconds and the silver medallist, Scott Joseph, tied Dami with a duplicate time of 11:06 but was given the win in a photo finish. Dami faced a similar situation on Saturday in the 200m sprint final. In another extremely close finish Dami was edged out of the medals and finished 4th with a time of 22.84. The silver and bronze medallists finished in a tie in a time only one 1/100th of a second faster – 22.83 seconds. Sacred Heart had an exceptional weekend of track and field overall. Other top 8 finishes were won by Jemimah Adefolarin who placed 7th in the Midget Girls 400m. Belén Reed placed 5th in the Midget
Girls 3000m and 7th in the 1500m race. Camryn Danchilla placed 6th in the Junior Girls 200m and 8th in the Junior Girls 100m sprint. Braydon Wasylyniuk placed 7th in Junior Boys shot put. Coach Rachel Sterzuk had this to say about the meet. “I was really proud of how hard all of our athletes worked this weekend. They really went above and beyond in their quest for excellence. That’s really what makes track and field provincials so exciting to watch. The athletes put everything they have into every jump, throw or run. We had a few other athletes who could have won medals.

SPELCHEN - Anne Spelchen of Canora Gateway Lodge, formerly of the Whitesand district, beloved wife of the late Mike F. Spelchen entered eternal rest on June 2, 2019 at the age of 97 years. Anne was born on December 17, 1921 on the family farm in the Whitesand District, daughter of Mike and Pauline (nee: Popowich) Shlahetka. She received her education in the Homestead School. Anne fell in love with their neighbour’s oldest son, Mike, and they were united in marriage on May 4, 1944 at St. Mary’s Church in Yorkton, SK. Anne was a wonderful, loving and caring partner to Mike through all the valleys and high spots along the winding road of life. Their union was blessed with three daughters: Adeline, Gloria and Irene. Mike and Anne lived their life the only way they knew how – through their girls on their land. They were content to live the ‘simple life’ by enjoying and respecting what God had given them. They took great pride in everything they did as they worked side-by-side each and everyday for just over 50 years. Together they raised various types of livestock and poultry. Anne was well-known for her fresh eggs. Anne enjoyed gardening and was admired for her gorgeous flowers and the abundance of vegetables she would grow and share every year. Anne created a welcoming home that always had an open door. She was beyond famous for her hospitality that promised a hot meal and her famous baking. Time spent at the farm was marked by good conversation, love, laughter and contentment. From day one, Anne had always played a strong, yet quiet, matriarchal role in the family. Never once a complaint or a fight and always generous beyond measure, she was always at peace. Anne was most proud of her role as a mother and wife and she loved her family dearly. In January of 2017, Anne took residency at the Canora Gateway Lodge where she lived with her siblings – Steve, Paul and Doris. Anne was a favourite among the staff and was often found working in her room on her word puzzles. Anne was predeceased by her loving husband Mike F. Spelchen; her parents Mike and Pauline; her brothers Bill, Peter and Fred Shlahetka and her sister Doris Mundt. She leaves to mourn her passing and cherish her memory, her daughters and their families: Adeline (Bill) McPhee of Yorkton, SK, Leanne and Doug, Carter and Emma Matsalla, Jody McPhee; Gloria (Warren) Vaudreuil of Canora, SK, Shelley, Shane Stuart, Jeremy Vaudreuil and Joelle Remezoff, Jarret Vaudreuil and Amber, Chaz German, Jeffery and Krystal, Rocky-Bear and Sunny-Rae Vaudreuil; Irene (Morlie) Nehring of Springside, SK, Jana and Stephen, Bexley and Mila Martinuk, Dustin and Shauna Nehring and Chad Nehring; her brothers Steve and Paul Shlahetka of Canora, SK; a nephew Lorne Mundt of Yorkton, SK; as well as many other relatives and good friends. Prayers were held on Thursday, June 6, 2019 at St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Yorkton and the Funeral Liturgy was held on Friday, June 7, 2019 at St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in the Whitesand District with Very Rev. Father Bohdan Lukie, C.Ss.R. as the Celebrant. The responses were led by Lorne Stechyshyn and members of St. Mary’s Choir. The cross bearer was Peter Spelchen and the epistle reader was Jody McPhee. The honourary pallbearers were Carter and Emma Matsalla, Rocky-Bear and Sunny-Rae Vaudreuil, Bexley and Mila Martinuk, Leanne Matsalla, Jody McPhee, Jeremy Vaudreuil, Jerret Vaudreuil, Jeffery Vaudreuil, Jana Martinuk, Dustin Nehring and Chad Nehring. The interment followed in the parish cemetery with Dean Spelchen, Emil Biblow, Brian Berrns, Dale Spelchen, David Popowich and Stan Byblow serving as the casket bearers. Following the memorial reception, tributes were shared by Jana Martinuk and Leanne Matsalla. Memorial donations may be made in memory of Anne to St. Mary’s Church, Whitesand.

PLAN OF THE WEEK
PLAN NUMBER 1-3549B DRAMATIC ARCHED TRANSOM ENTRY Sweeping roof lines, a dramatic arched transom entry and a smooth stucco exterior contribute to the sophisticated appeal of this compact, open-plan home. Inside the covered entrance, the large foyer presents a view of the great room with its appealing corner fireplace – just part of an exceptional family area that has all the elements necessary for today’s
casual lifestyle. An oversized sun deck, accessed from the family room, adds outdoor living space. This deck is partly covered by the roofline above, a bonus on rainy days. The dining area is designed for formal or informal gatherings. It has a convenient buffet space and natural light will flood in through a wall of windows. In the kitchen area, a central island holds a double sink as well as the dishwasher. The raised eating bar along
one side of the island makes an ideal place to sit for a quick breakfast or mid-morning coffee. A pass-through between the kitchen and the laundry room is large enough to accommodate a second fridge or a freezer. The laundry room leads to the double garage, providing a convenient route for unloading groceries from the car. The master bedroom suite is privately located at the rear of the house and has a door that opens to the sun deck. A large
walk-in closet holds his and hers clothes while a five-piece bathroom creates a home-spa experience. The sky lit hallway in the sleeping wing also leads to a three-piece bathroom shared by the two secondary bedrooms. High ceilings add to the airy, relaxed interior of this innovative design. The home measures 52 feet, 6 inches wide and 52 feet deep, for a total of 1,485 square feet of living space, plus an unfinished basement.

Canada has many reasons to celebrate World Oceans Day Buried under a late-May news barrage, Canada’s government made small but important changes to the Oceans Act and Petroleum Resources Act that will strengthen protection of at-risk marine ecosystems. The most significant is that government will no longer have to wait for marine protected area designation to prevent harmful activities, but will have the power to implement “interim protections.” Changes to the Petroleum Act “allow Natural Resources Canada and CrownIndigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada to negotiate the voluntary surrender of a company’s oil and gas interests” and compensate companies if marine protected area designation means cancelling projects.
protects a marine area. The changes are in line with the government’s goal of protecting 10 per cent of Canada’s ocean territory by next year. It has made progress, with 8.27 per cent now protected, up from less than one per cent in 2015. It’s progress worth celebrating on World Oceans Day, June 8. Many Canadians may not know the UN declared this special day at Canada’s urging. With three oceans surrounding the world’s longest coastline and more than 350,000 oceandependent jobs, it makes sense for Canada to honour and protect these ecosystems and the tremendous resources they provide. But is it too early to pat ourselves on the back?
Freezing harmful activities for up to five years will give government time to consult with provinces, territories, Indigenous communities, stakeholders and the public before it formally
A Greenpeace study by York and Oxford university researchers argues we must protect at least 30 per cent of oceans by 2030, including areas outside territorial jurisdiction, “to address the crisis facing our oceans and enable their recovery.” (I believe that falls short of what’s

Science Matters needed.) The report, 30×30: A Blueprint for Ocean Protection, shows that a network of “fully protected marine protected areas” is feasible and something the world should consider as governments negotiate a global ocean treaty through the UN, expected in 2020. The push for greater ocean protection marks a growing shift in our perception of the seas, from a resource storehouse and dumping ground for wastes to a source of life. Oceans are vital to our survival and contribute to our prosperity and quality of life. They produce more than half the world’s oxygen and are the largest carbon sink. And they offer yet unknown potential for
medical discoveries. But we know more about Mars than the immense scope of ocean life. We’ve only explored about five per cent of the underwater world. Less then a half century ago, no one contemplated that a multitude of species could live around deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Further altering our value system to put the environment first and look out for all species’ needs will allow us to base development decisions on recognizing that we benefit from maintaining natural ecosystems. Beyond Oceans Act amendments, Canada is also examining Fisheries Act updates to address increasing pollution, ecosystem destruction
and declining biodiversity. This would include measures to rebuild fish stocks, many of which are severely depleted. Similar action has proven successful in the United States. However, fishing quotas aren’t enough, as fish face numerous threats that only healthy, abundant stocks may be able to withstand. Marine protected areas help safeguard the diversity and abundance of plants and animals in and around them, improving their resilience to human activity, climate change and other, often unexpected, events. We often take the oceans’ gifts for granted, underestimating their value, resulting in devastation to local economies and cultural values. Attempting to balance priorities between the environment and the economy requires constant, exhausting renegotiation and compromise. The false assumption is that conservation activities cost more than the environmental impacts of growing industrial activity. We must continue
shifting our perspective. We can’t continue to prioritize short-term economic objectives over the very ecosystems that sustain us. Acting for our immediate benefit can destroy the intricate balance and put a species or even the whole ecosystem in peril. A single oil spill could threaten the existence of southern resident orcas. If we care about human prosperity, we must protect oceans. Supporting their natural resilience by restoring their biological diversity would deliver long-term benefits for food security and social and economic well-being. Let’s stay the course on leadership and progressive action on this important issue. David Suzuki is a scientist, broadcaster, author and co-founder of the David Suzuki Foundation.

Anytime you can cross even a few elements of the role playing Dungeons & Dragons game into the realm of board games, it tends to be a good thing. Or, at the very least it is a hook to catch the attention of this gaming group. Call to Adventure is a tabletop game in which players compete to craft the hero with the greatest destiny. “Play cards to build your character, cast runes to face challenges, and choose whether to follow a path of heroism or villainy. The core game mode is a 2-4 player competitive game, but Call to Adventure can also be played solo or cooperatively,” noted the Kickstarter page when this game had nearly 11,000 backers raise just over three-quarters of a million to get the game produced. Call to Adventure was created by Brotherwise Games, the company that also produced Unearth reviewed in this space previously. The goal with Call
to Adventure was to “design a game based on character-driven fantasy novels and RPGs. In Call to Adventure, facing a childhood rival or meeting your true love can be as important as slaying a dragon,” notes the Kickstarter page. In terms of fantasy novel connections as part of the Kickstarter, the company announced “collaborations with two New York Times bestselling authors, Patrick Rothfuss and Brandon Sanderson. The very first expansion to the game -- available as a pledge level within this campaign -- will be set in the world of Rothfuss’s The Name of the Wind. When this campaign reached $300,000 in funding, Brandon Sanderson announced that next year we will be releasing Call to Adventure: Stormlight.” In the case of Rothfuss, he is clearly a board game fan having collaborated on the design and release of Tak, a game originally mentioned in his book. The game is amazing,
THE MEEPLE GUILD (Yorkton) meeple.guild@gmail.com again as was reviewed here previously. In Call to Adventure “players compete to create fantasy heroes. On the journey from your humble Origin to your epic Destiny, you will gain Traits, face challenges, and grow in your Abilities. Every player will build a character and tell a story, but only one will become the greatest hero,” details some brief fluff in the rule book. In Call to Adventure, players face challenges and acquire traits over the course of three Acts. Along the way, each player’s hero will gain Triumph points for victories, Tragedy points for following a darker path, and Experience tokens
when they fail. While points ultimately matter in winning and losing, the cards collected through the course of a game can tell a story for the theatric-
ally inclined. Our little enclave is not so inclined but some will find this game a fine jumping off point for a rather impassioned telling of a tale at game’s end. In that respect no two games, or at least the stories the games create, will ever be exactly alike. The game cards do offer excellent art, not unexpected when looking back at Unearth which was also visually stunning. The use of runes, you throw a handful to accomplish things on every
turn, are a neat mechanic, with the access to various runes dependent on the cards you have acquired. Overall, a solid game that holds the promise of more interesting expansions on the horizon because of the book connections. A definite add for fantasy fans. Check it out at www. brotherwisegames.com Thanks to fellow gamers Trevor Lyons and Adam Daniels for their help in running through this game for review.
