City crews did work on Darlington Ave. on July 8. There will be large number of construction projects happening across Yorkton in 2019, including the second phase of the Broadway repaving, which will begin on July 22.

Construction season hits Yorkton streets

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Road construction season has begun, and Yorkton drivers can expect detours and delays as the city undertakes multiple construc-

tion projects.

The most visible road construction at the moment continues to be the work on Highway 9, which encompasses several projects. On the north end of the city, a new storm water channel

and sanitary sewer is being constructed starting at York Road and Dracup Ave. That will lead to the culverts under the road being replaced by a bridge and open channel system. This project began in April,

but the construction on the bridge started July 8.

Traffic will be redirected around the area while bridge construction takes place, similar to how traffic was redirected during bridge construction on Highway 10 in previous

years.

Further south on Highway 9 is the work resurfacing the Darlington St. overpass.

This project began on May 29, and is expected to take place until early Sept., weather permit-

ting. Traffic will be redirected through Dracup Ave., though there is also a second detour for through traffic that will be implemented in July, now that construction

Landfill rates adjusted on some materials

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yorkton Council moved Monday to adjust a number of its landfill rates.

“With the added expenses to construct new cells and more stringent environmental regulations for establishing

new landfills, it’s imperative to best manage the available space to maximize our City’s capital investments,” explained Aron Hershmiller Assistant Director of Environmental Services with the City at the regular meeting of Council.

Hershmiller said the adjustments were

being suggested in-part because users were asking for changes. He said after the fees bylaw was passed in 2018 “we have received feedback from some of our waste haulers, contractors, and industry clients requesting that we convert or change our current Asbestos, Spent

Bleaching Clay and Commercial Compost rates from cubic yards to a tonnage rate.

“By changing all of the landfill rates to tonnage, it will not only create efficiencies for the landfill scale attendant, but will also allow city staff to better track and trend our current and future

landfill data.

“In addition, contractors, industry clients, and waste haulers will be able to bid jobs or contracts more easily with a tonnage rate vs the current cubic yard rate.”

As a result of the feedback the Environmental Services Department completed a review of

fees, said Hershmiller, adding that meant looking at four years of data in order to convert line items to a tonnage rate.

After all the reviews Administration proposed three description changes.

In the case of asbestos it was recommended to

Thomas Hazlett tops GX94 Star Search

By Cory Carlick Staff Writer Thomas Edward Hazlett’s electrifying, spectacular stage performance held the packed Farrell Agencies Arena spellbound with astounding vocal skill and presence at GX94’s Star Search, closing out the Yorkton Exhibition Saturday.

Your Community Connection

Within a few bars of his first song, the entire energy in the auditorium shifted as the charming, unassuming Hazlett strode onto the stage, proceeding to blow away the entire GX94 judging panel with a commanding performance and presence that held the stunned audience in a gripping trance.

The British-born cowboy,

despite his dazzling performance, was charmingly humble.

Clearly in disbelief at his well earned win, if anyone were entitled to a little bit of immodesty after such a sage sweep, it was Thomas. Any ego that could have been an expected presence in another performer clearly wasn’t in his nature. Thomas, visibly starry

eyed and overwhelmed, was taking it all in as a man who just loves to perform. That infectious energy, however, was not lost on the audience... or the judges.

Hailing from the large English industrial town of Stockton-on-Tees in the Northeast of Britain, on the north bank of the River

Tees roughly 25 minutes from Newcastle, the call and romance of the West was too strong to stay away. Hazlett followed his calling, moving to Canada in 2014 to settle down with his wife in Pelly.

As modest as Hazlett was, he was correct in his assessment of the skill of the competitors on stage.

The competition was stiff indeed, with strong performances across the board with strong vocals and presence.

The win, as might be expected, will take some time to process.

Rebecca Brooks of Hamiota set the bar at the beginning of the competition, belting a powerful, commanding performance. Mandy Noelle’s stirring performance held the audience with a grip and presence similar to Hazlett’s. Several concert goers couldn’t stay in their seat, having to get up into the aisles to dance. This particular reporter, admittedly, also had difficulty keeping his feet still.

Thomas admitted.

“That was my mam who kicked me into doing that as well. She sings, and she sings fantastically; and that’s where I picked up my singing gift as well.”

“I don’t think it’s really hit me yet. Don’t get me wrong, I’m absolutely amazed and actually, I still don’t really believe it. I think by the time I’m driving home I’ll finally go, ‘Woooooo!’ But right now, it’s just...it’s a mix of emotions. I don’t know; I feel sorry for the people who didn’t win, but at the same time I think they were just amazing as well.”

Jesse Genaille of Swan

River delivered a soulful, emotional performance, well felt by the audience with warm, smooth vocals. Containing a raw power that did justice to the difficult but powerful classics he sang, he recalled the struggle with getting his performance to the point he felt did justice.

“I just couldn’t get it,” said Genaille to the audience in introducing his second song, but after a sad incident, he was able to do it. Not surprisingly, he was able to summon that strength to deliver a pitch-perfect performance. Strong performances abounded from the 16 year old Haley Chuchmuch, who delivered an emotional set, along with a raucous, spirited performance

by Kris Paul of Roblin, Manitoba. The roster was kicked into second gear with a powerful performance by Saltcoats’ own Erick Van Caeseele

rounding out the evening, made picking the winner a difficult task indeed.

Still, even with all that competition, if his award-winning perform-

ance at GX94’s 2019 Star Search is any indication, this won’t be the last we hear of Hazlett. And for music’s sake, his future looks very bright indeed.

and at $350 per tonne over three tonnes, with material from outside the city at 50 per cent higher.

Spent bleaching clay, a waste product of the two canola crushing plants will also change from a cubic yards fee to

one based on tonnes.

The spent bleaching clay four year average rate when converting to tonnes from cubic yards was $49.00/ tonne (The proposed rate is $50.00 / tonne).

Commercial compost

will also move to a tonnage fee.

The commercial compost four year average rate when converting to tonnes from cubic yards was $42.00/tonne (The proposed new rate is $42.00 /tonne).

And finally the Industrial Products Requiring Special Handling fee will increase to $200 per hour, up from $175.

The changes were all accepted by unanimous vote by Council.

that the current rate is considerably high ($800 /tonne) when comparing to 12 other western Canadian cities (ranged from $300 - $600/tonne).

The new rate sets the fee at $450 per tonne under three tonnes,

on Highway 10 between Queen St. and Broadway St. is complete.

One project not handled by the city will be a CP Rail project, to upgrade the CP Rail crossing on Broadway St. This project will take two days, beginning on July 11, with traffic being detoured around the area from Myrtle Ave. to

second Ave. This will be in advance of the city’s larger project on Broadway, the second part of the ‘shave and pave’ of the street, which began last year. This will stretch from the CN Rail tracks to Highway 9, and be executed in multiple phases, the first starting on July 22. That first phase will tackle the area between the CN

Rail tracks and First Ave., with phases 2-4 beginning as the first is completed.

One side of the street will be under construction at a time, resulting in one-way traffic down Broadway during the duration. The project is expected to be complete by Sept. 27, weather permitting.

The Whitesand Drive drainage improvements began in May, with new

That project is expected to be complete in October. It will involve new sewer pipes, completion of a drainage ditch and landscaping.

Circlebrook Dr. will be closed between Rosefield Dr. and Riverview Rd. to allow for the replacement of a water main. This project is expected to be complete by Aug. 1.

Closure of right-of-way on Broadway St. E.

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Permanent Closure of Street Right-of-Way Adjacent to 230 Broadway Street East received unanimous second and third reading passage at the regular meeting of Yorkton Council Monday.

Council carried 1st Reading and authorized public notification for the proposed bylaw at the June 17, 2019 meeting.

The proposed Bylaw was posted at City Hall and on the City webpage, and advertised in the local newspaper for three

consecutive weeks. As of the date of this report, no inquiries or comments have been received.

Council may still receive written or verbal submissions as part of the Public Hearing, explained Michael Eger, Director of Planning, Building & Development, with the

19071PS1

City.

“The proposed closure was reviewed by the Planning & Infrastructure Commission at their June 26, 2019 meeting.

The Commission carried a resolution recommending that Council consider approval of the proposed closure,”

added Eger.

“The proposed Bylaw allows the City to finalize the sale of the unused right-of-way to the owner of 230 Broadway Street East, where the Mark’s development is occurring and saves from expensive land acquisition costs that would have been

due to the Province.

“As such, Administration is in favour of proceeding with the proposed Bylaw.

Upon receiving final approval, Administration will complete subdivision and title transfer for the subject lands.”

Politics That Saskatchewan continues to grow is great news, but the province’s growth hasn’t exactly been even.

This has make things particularly difficult for rural Saskatchewan that has endured stagnation or population by continuing to lose people that are moving out of province and moving to Saskatchewan’s cities.

According to the April 1 quarterly population numbers, there are now 1,169,131 people living in Saskatchewan — an increase of 10,295 people in the past year and 708 people in the first quarter of 2019.

Over all, this is tremendous news, even if it signifies a slowdown in growth to rate of less than one quarter of one per cent of growth this year if this trend continues.

While more Saskatchewan people are now moving to Alberta and other provinces than are moving here from elsewhere in Canada, we continue to grow because we have so many new Canadians moving here.

Most of you will recall that the Saskatchewan Party promised back in 2007 when the province had crossed the million people barrier vowed to grow the province by one per cent a year or 100,000 in its first decade in power. They met that goal within five years.

The April numbers mark 52 consecutive quarters — 13 consecutive years — of population growth in Saskatchewan that has have added 176,894 people to this province’s population since things started to turnaround in 2006.

To be clear, this growth actually started 13 years ago under the former NDP administration of Lorne Calvert an may be do to early investments in immigrant sponsorship programs.

Contrary to those who believe population growth in in Saskatchewan has only come after CCF/NDP governments have been booted for office, it’s never been that cut and dried.

For example, when this province hit a peak of 931,557 people in 1936, it then declined for 15 years — eight under the old Liberal government and seven under the new CCF Tommy Douglas government until it reached at low ebb of 831,728 in 1951.

Then it was 35 years of stagnation or slow growth under the CCF (13 years), Liberals, (seven years), NDP, (11 years) and Grant Devine Progressive Conservatives (four years) until we peaked at 1,009,610 people in 1986.

For the last years of the PCs and 15 years of the Roy Romanow/Calvert NDP, it was either decline or stagnation until the turnaround 13 years ago.

What all this means is that the Sask. Party is the only governing party in this province to have experienced nothing but continuous growth.

However, there is a big accompanying irony: It is in cities where the Sask. Party is less strong where virtually all the growth has occurred. In the rural areas, where the Sask.

Party is as solid as any party can be, it’s actually losing people.

And there may be some political implications to all this.

The cities that are traditionally less friendly to conservative parties anyway may be seeing those feelings enhanced by the problems that growth now brings: crowded schools, longer hospital wait times, more expensive housing costs and higher municipal taxes to pay for the infrastructure costs.

And rural Saskatchewan might have more reason to be anger because of lack growth, but it may be that this reality has solidified Sask.

Party rural support.

There’s little doubt that rural Saskatchewan acknowledges the Sask. Party government’s efforts to not only grow the province, but to to avoid service reduction in places where it’s not growing. Rural folk fear not fairing as well under another government. They have long memories and likely recall that 52 of their hospitals closed under the NDP in 1993.

That said, it’s ironic that what’s been good for the province has a while hasn’t been great where the Sask. Party is strongest.

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

◆Editorial◆

Fall election starting early I

t might be July, a month we expect warmer weather, but it seems we are already seeing hints that the real heat will be October, at least in terms of politics.

Canadians go to the polls Oct. 21, in a federal election in a battle that is already seeing social media trenching in for a tooth and claw battle.

The right wing clearly want Prime Minister Trudeau gone at all costs, although his most likely replacement Andrew Scheer is rather thin on what exactly he and the Conservative Party would do other than not be Trudeau. Sadly, for a lot of voters that might be enough.

It would be better if those unhappy with Trudeau were at least looking for a replacement with some concrete ideas for change.

Then there is the other side of the political coin that is focused on the legacy the Conservatives have from Stephen Harper.

The two sides are definitely pushing to the edges of the political spectrum, leaving miles of room in the middle with no party appearing to want to reside there.

That situation might leave a lot of voters opting to stay home, disappointed in Trudeau’s lacklustre performance, but not ready to commit to another run with the Conservatives either. That of course is bad news for democracy, as

people should vote for a country’s leadership every four years.

But, if no one looks like a reasonable option to lead, what are voters to do?

That will be a question parties and candidates need to answer moving forward.

The process started on the weekend as Ryan Schultz local constituency candidate for the newly founded People’s Party of Canada met with voters in the city.

Whether new players such as the PPC, or more established but still not major forces such as the Green Party can fill the void for those turned off to the long-established parties of course is yet to be seen.

But, there is a sense that if they can offer a reasonable platform they just might garner more votes.

Of course party faithful are rallying to the call that a majority government needs to arise out of the Oct. 21, vote, but there seems to be a political breeze blowing that whispers of a minority. Given distrust of both Trudeau and Scheer perhaps a minority government forcing some cooperation and collaboration for the next few years would result in the more middle-of-the-road politics which have generally been the happy place for Canadian voters through the years.

Time, of course will tell, as the debate warm up in the coming months.

History Corner

1954 Garry League Champs

The next six weeks of the History Corner will be devoted to presentations based on records of the Yorkton Sports Hall of Fame and Museum. The City of Yorkton Archives wishes to thank Murray Wagner who authored the stories to match the photos.

Photo background -Springside, Sask.

Elevators: Canadian Consolidated, Pioneer, Saskatchewan Pool, and Federal Grain. Baseball was alive and well in small-town Saskatchewan 55 years ago when the Springside Beavers won the Garry League Championship. Many teams played in a local league and entered sports days on Sundays and competed for prize money. The Garry League operated for many years with teams from such towns as Springside, Theodore, Jedburgh, Buchanan, Parkerview, Insinger, and sometimes teams from Yorkton like the Phillies, Braves, and Red Sox. Gus Laube spent 14 years as President of the League, and his sons, Mervin and Donn, were important members of the team.

Newspaper readership is no urban legend

By Tim Shoults You’ve heard of urban legends, right? Like the lady who had a spider bite that turned into a nest of eggs that hatched under her skin, or the tale of the kid that died from drinking cola after swallowing Pop Rocks.

How about this one: “Nobody reads newspapers anymore.”

Like many urban legends, everybody’s heard it, and some people assume it must be true because they’ve heard it often enough.

Well, like Pop Rocks kid and spider-egg woman, it just isn’t so.

The debunker in this case is 2019 Newspapers 24/7 study, conducted by News Media Canada, the national organization representing more than 1,100 daily and community news media outlets across the country.

This study, the seventh annual one, was conducted in February 2019 across all provinces, in English and French and consists of 800 online interviews. It

was designed to explore how Canadians read daily and community newspaper content, on different platforms and at different times during the day.

Since the first study back in 2012, there have been shifts in reading by platform but one thing has not changed: Canadians continue to access newspaper content across all the various platforms.

In 2012, 85 per cent of Canadians reported that they read newspapers on any platform, over the course of a week and in 2019 that number has climbed to 88 per cent.

This year’s report also found that 83 per cent of newspaper readers are accessing at least some of their newspaper content online.

But that’s not replacing print readership, it’s supplementing it: the study found more than half of readers access newspaper content from both print and online sources.

The study found that readers from all demographics use multiple

platforms – print, desktop/laptop computer, phone and tablet – to access newspaper content. Most print reading happens early in the day, while digital reading is more consistent from morning to night.

Which brings us to the other urban legend: millenials don’t read news.

The research specifically looked at the newspaper reading habits of younger Canadians, and found that 88 of millennials (those born between 1982 and 1999) read newspapers weekly – the same percentage as the overall population.

The difference with this generation is how they access newspaper content – primarily through their mobile phones, and when they read – they peak early in the morning and are more consistent throughout the day, while Boomers peak in both the morning and again after dinner when reading news content.

And again, just because millennials read mostly on their phones doesn’t mean they’re not

Legacy Co-operative Association Limited Senior’s Day

Yorkton

reading print as well.

The study found more than half of all millennial newspaper readers also read news in print – from 57% of all phone readers to 66% of all tablet readers.

Business decision makers are news junkies, with the highest percentage of readership throughout the day across all platforms, again peaking in the morning and after dinner.

“Both print and digital newspaper sources play a unique and dis-

tinct role in the lives of Canadians,” says Claude Heimann, the president of Totum Research, which conducted the study.

“Readers start their day with the comprehensive and in-depth reporting of a print newspaper, and stay up-to-date on breaking news with digital as the day progresses.”

As Bob Cox, the chair of News Media Canada, says: “Given heightened levels of global mistrust, we’re seeing a clear and continued affinity for the reliable reporting

that newspapers provide.

Newspapers continue to be the go-to source for credible, trusted and independent news, in both print and digital formats.”

And unlike an urban legend, that’s something you can rely on.

Letter to the Editor Score one for crows Dear Editor: The crows have won out again! Our Yorkton is still the crow capital.

In spite of a petition from Queen Elizabeth and also residents of Fisher Court last summer and my many phone calls, all seem to have gone on deaf ears. At four a.m. once again I’ve been awakened by a family of crows in the fir trees across from Fisher Court.

They are vocally joined by others in neighbouring fir trees. The poor robins and wrens just don’t stand a chance.

Last year, in one of my daily walks I saw a mama robin being carried out from her nest in the trees and taken to one of the big fir trees. I had phoned City Hall — well, story was — they had a fellow shooting crows but one landed in a school yard and upset the students so the fellow was let go — no more shooting crows.

Too bad these students didn’t see how little robins are torn apart by the crows or how they eat the robin’s eggs or how a mama robin is pecked to death. No wonder things

become extinct and that is what will happen to our robins and wrens.

I again have called City Hall — well for around two weeks — no crows. Maybe just luckbut then they came again.

Every fir tree has them.

No robins singing in evening or morning. Oh put up streamers. How can I — a 92 year old do that? That’s your job!

If you have a crow in your fir tree in your yard — do something, please.

2019 WATER MAIN FLUSHING PROGRAM The Public Works Department will begin a water main flushing program on Sunday, July 14, 2019 at 8:00 P.M. Flushing is required to remove the rust and sediment that has accumulated in the water mains. City crews will be flushing the mains from approximately 8:00 P.M. through to 6:00 A.M. until completed, which we estimate will be the morning of July 19th, 2019. Flushing will begin on the West Side of the City on the first evening and move towards the East Side of the City thereafter.

During flushing, the water will contain a considerable amount of rust and sediment, and may be discoloured for several hours. The system pressure will fluctuate during the flushing period. Both the sediment and the low pressure can cause problems in the operation of plumbing fixtures, especially air conditioning, refrigeration equipment, and water softeners. Doing laundry is not recommended, as the discoloured water will stain clothing. For this reason, it is advisable not to use water if it is discoloured unless it is absolutely necessary to do so.

Residents who live in the areas being flushed should collect containers of water beforehand for drinking and cooking, before the flushing program starts. Residents should use as little water as possible, and should avoid drawing water into their homes. It's best not to use your washing machine or dishwasher until the water colour returns to normal.

Free coffee and donuts for all seniors (while supplies last)

If further information is required, please contact the Public Works Department at 306-786-1760 between 7:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M., Monday through Friday.

Highway 9 Bridge Project

Construction of a new Bridge on Highway 9, one half mile north of York Road is underway. The bridge will allow replacement of aging culverts beneath the highway with a much larger capacity open channel waterway. The culverts currently handle most storm water outflow from Yorkton into Yorkton Creek, and can create a bottleneck during heavy rain events. During bridge construction, traffic will be diverted to a temporary roadway on the east side of the highway, and will be alternating single lane only. This is the case in most highway bridge construction projects. Please be patient and obey signage. The project is scheduled for completion in late fall.

BYLAW FAST FACTS Garage Sale Signs

Did you know?

The Sign Bylaw No. 16/2003 states no advertisement – including garage sale signs or real estate signs can be located in a public street, sidewalk, boulevard or centre median, or on a public tree, sign or light pole. No advertisement can be placed as to obstruct free and clear vision of vehicular traffic.

Why was this bylaw created?

Advertisements attached to traffic signs, centre medians, boulevards, etc. are distracting to drivers and are a safety concern. Advertising signs placed in a public place can cause obstructions for pedestrians or City staff tasked with maintaining these areas.

Nostalgic for ag at summer fairs This is not the first time I have written about how nostalgic I can become while attending the Yorkton Exhibition.

The summer fairs; Saskatoon, Yorkton, Melfort, Golburn, Invermay, Shand and others were essentially my combination summer camps and family holidays, from the time I was five until I was past my teens.

That was starting in 1965, and continuing to the mid-1980s, which was a decidedly different time when looking at what summer fairs across the Canadian Prairies was all about.

In those long ago years summer fairs were largely agriculture events, first and foremost, with producers bringing out their best stock to be judged against the best of neighbours and friends. With the competition of the show ring came equal amounts of camaraderie in the barns before and after the judge rendered their verdict on who would take home the red ribbons.

In those days there were red ribbons for just about everything farmers raised on what were largely mixed farm operations. As a result, while predominantly showing pigs, over the years I

Agriculture THIS WEEK

Calvin Daniels won ribbons showing a friend’s calves in junior beef classes, took mom’s chickens to Shand Fair, showed dairy goats, sheep, grain sheaves, and even held the halter on an occasional draft horse in group classes to help out.

But as I sat in the grandstand last week

watching the rodeo, the barns I once ferreted around as a youth in the distance, there was a sense of loss at the fair.

While a vibrant Regional 4-H Beef Show remains part of the Yorkton fair, and light horses have returned after a time when they too had disappeared

from the fair agenda, agriculture maintains barely a toehold at the fair.

It is of course a change that has corresponded to farms continuing to grow larger, and in that process more specialized. With that comes less time to take stock to fairs, and in some cases, pigs among them, growing concern over the potential of disease spreading at such events.

While the reasons are reasonable, I still miss agriculture at summer fairs.

There is an element of my youth missing when there are Hereford cat-

tle in the summer show rings, and Clydesdales, and pigs and sheep, that has me wishing a little for a return to the days of my youth.

I also suspect while the farm sector recognizes urban residents are increasingly isolated from farms, the chance to see livestock up close at summer fairs, to talk to producers, to connect in even that limited way, would help bridge the gap. But alas that bridge is long lost.

And, that is just the change that ultimately comes with time.

Cattle show The 2019 edition of the Yorkton Regional 4-H Beef Show is being held today (Wednesday) at the Agripavilion. The annual event has long been a traditional kick-off activity at the Yorkton Summer Fair. This year’s show had nine 4-H clubs from the region involved, with more than 110 members taking part. The clubs involved include Springside, Hilltop, Neudorf, Serath, Sheho, Goodeve, Wishart, Good Spirit and Grayson. Those members are showing 75 steers, which will be sold later in the day. In addition, show judge Sarah Buchanan has 45 heifers and seven cow/calves pairs to evaluate.

Springside 4-H Beef Club achievement day Submitted by Hannah Breitkreuz, Club Reporter The Springside 4-H Beef Club held their annual Achievement Day on Monday, July 1st at the Ag Pavilion, Yorkton Exhibition Grounds. The club has 24 members: three Cloverbuds, six Juniors, nine Intermediates and six Seniors. Club members participated in classes on Judging, Grooming, Showmanship, Yearling Heifers and Market Steers. As always, the day ended with the entertaining ‘Wanna-BeA-Showman’ Class, involving members of the audience who wanted to try their skills in the ring.

Thank you to the following individuals for making the day possible: Conformation & Showmanship Judge Barry Baczuk, MC Maureen Werner, Questionnaire Judge Jade Hoffman, Judging Card Judge Kaitlyn McMurphy, and Record Book Judges Karlie Hnidey, Jenay Werle, LeeAnn Weinbender and Naomi Payley.

Don’t get a bluetooth cassette player

I was, briefly, excited when I saw someone had announced a “Bluetooth Cassette Player.”

Brilliant, I thought, a cassette that connects to a phone, so someone can shove it into a tape player in an old car or one of those stereos you find in a garage, giving them a new life.

Unfortunately it’s a device that plays cassettes that can use bluetooth headphones. That’s much less interesting.

I’m a fan of obsolete

technology, as regular readers of this space have probably figured out. I just love the idea that things can still be useful, even if the world at large has moved on. An old cassette player might not sound as good as a modern stereo, but I like that it can still be used, that someone is still hooking it up and playing music through it even now. It’s nice to have that old device still have a bit of life.

It should be noted that

surprisingly good bluetooth speakers.

But while a fan of obsolete technology, I found myself fairly hostile towards a new bluetooth cassette player. I think it’s because my love of obsolete technology doesn’t extend to newly manufactured obsolete technology. Old cassette players that already exist? Drag them out and play them again, use these old devices and prevent them from becoming waste that inevitably will clog up a landfill. Old technology can still function, so the appeal is allowing it to, and enjoying the things that have already been made.

New obsolete technology doesn’t have the same appeal for me. It just feels like waste, because in many cases we have already moved on, often for good reason. There’s no need to buy a new cassette player, because they’re honestly neither as good or convenient as the more modern music streaming setups. If you’re putting high priority on quality, you’re not buying cassettes because

In other words, instead of getting a bluetooth cassette player, it makes much more sense to get the bluetooth cassette.

Yorkton Council passed the second and third readings of a bylaw allowing for the permanent closure of Highway 9 right-of-ray adjacent to 115 Palliser Way. Council carried first reading and authorized public notification for the proposed bylaw at the June 17, 2019 meeting The proposed Bylaw was posted at City Hall and on the City webpage, and advertised in the local newspaper for three consecutive weeks. As of the date of this report, no inquiries or comments have been received.

Council may still receive written or verbal submissions as part of the Public Hearing, explained Michael Eger, Director

of Planning, Building & Development, with the City at the meeting Monday.

“The proposed closure was reviewed by the Planning & Infrastructure Commission at their June 26, 2019 meeting.

The Commission carried a resolution recommending that Council consider approval of the proposed closure,” he said.

The proposed Bylaw follows directive from a previous Council resolution, and there has not been any new information that would preclude the closure from proceeding at this time. Upon receiving final approval, Administration will complete subdivision, title transfer and easement registration for the subject lands

In short, bringing cassettes back is a silly gimmick and frankly nobody needs a new one. There are millions of cassette players out in the world that nobody wants, all have much more authentic retro design - because they were designed when retro wasn’t actually retro - and most of them work. They can usually be purchased for $10 and in the process you’re both keeping them out of a landfill and enjoying whatever qualities that gives the format they use appeal. If it breaks, it’s much more interesting to try to fix it than to buy a new alternative. Frankly why anyone would buy a new cassette player is beyond me.

Extreme Dogs shows what dogs can do

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer There are dogs jumping, running and doing flips at the Yorkton Exhibition Summer Fair.

Extreme Dogs features the skills of a number of different dogs, whether they’re catching discs, jumping into the water, running through obstacle courses or doing acrobatics with their trainer.

Deirani Collazo, one of the trainers with the group, said that their goal goes beyond putting on a show with their dogs, they hope to inspire people. They want people to get outside with their dogs and having fun.

“It doesn’t matter if your dog is adopted or purchased, just go out there and do something with your dog, the possibilities endless.”

The tricks in the show are going to be more advanced than more people can do with their dog starting out, but they’re based in activities that are easy to do. Collazo points to throwing a disc as a great thing for families to do with their dogs.

“It’s not only fun for the dog and you’re not only exercising the dog, but it’s really fun as a handler to just aim and throw that disc, and you don’t have to go get it, the

Dogs took on the high jump during the Extreme Dogs presentation. dog brings it back. You just play with your dog, you’re throwing the disc, and it’s fun. You don’t need to be doing the flips and this big stuff, but you could and I encourage everyone to try it!”

The majority of the dogs are rescues, and they want to show how amazing rescue dogs can be, going from being in the streets or abused and neglected to putting on a

Dogs took on each other in an agility race.

show and happy in their new life, said Collazo.

The first step for training is to establish trust with the dog, Collazo explained.

“We don’t know the background of these dogs most of the time, we don’t know what they’ve been through, so they usually come with something.

They’re scared of people, or they’re scared of loud noises or music, and we have all of that during the show, so we have to establish trust with them.”

Next step is a bit of obedience training, which Collazo explained as being language between the dog and the trainer, so they can know what is expected of them, and they can have a bit of control over the wild animal. From there, they figure out what the dogs like, and use that to figure out what tricks they will do. Some dogs don’t like jumping into the pool so they wouldn’t do that trick, but they might like catching the disc, for example.

“We treat each dog as an individual. I have a

dog I adopted and within a month she was performing. I have another dog who was found wandering the streets, and when we brought him in he was so scared that you would clap and he would hide.

It took me five years to get him to just be comfortable with the rides

and the music. Training never stops.”

Collazo jokes that they look for the dogs that nobody else wants. They want high energy animals who are “annoying.” The reason is they are looking for dogs who have enough energy to learn tricks and perform for the public,

and those dogs are often given up because of families who are unable to handle them.

“There has to be an outlet for that energy, otherwise they’re going to ruin your couches and all that.”

They live in the RV full time with all ten dogs, and the dogs that were once annoying are now calm travelling companions.

“It’s fine, because they’re just chilling in there and resting, because they’re working all day and doing what they love, so they sleep.”

She said that for families, they need to do research before getting a dog, to ensure the dog’s energy matches their family’s energy. She wants people to know that the right dog for them could be a rescue.

“There is a dog for everyone out there.”

The crowds have been big through the fair so far, and Collazo said that it has been a great week so far, and they hope that everyone comes to see the dogs over the course of the fair.

“We’ve been loving the vibe here in Yorkton.”

Extreme Dogs encourages people to get out and do something with their dog.

Maybe you could train your dog to jump on your back like this?

Bringing the art of blacksmithing to the fair

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The modern Yorkton Exhibition Summer Fair wouldn’t be possible without metal. The rides, the fences, the grandstand, all of it involves metal to some degree, from the smallest nail to the most elaborate ride.

The skill and knowledge that comes with working metal all began with the blacksmith, so it’s only appropriate that a blacksmith was at the fair, showing how to make a wide range of things.

Monte Wilkins was on the fair grounds making a wide range of items in a traditional way, using coal, a hand-cranked blower, handle and hammer.

Wilkins said he’s always been interested, ever since he could remember. While he was only six when his grandparents sold the family farm, he said he could still remember the forge he had, and he watched the blacksmiths at the museum.

While always interested, Wilkins said he never had time and money at

the same time to take the course offered by the museum, and it wasn’t until his girlfriend at the time gave it to him as a Christmas gift that he had a chance to give it a try.

“I got a phone call one day asking to change my course dates, and that was the first time I knew anything about it. The rest was history.”

He’s been doing it for 23 years now, and said he fell in love with the art ever since. He made nails, fire pokers, decorative leaves and other objects over the week.

“Anything most people want to see, I will attempt to make it for them. If I have never made it before, I’ll attempt. If I’ve made it before, no problem, I’ll make it again.”

There’s a growing interest in the art, Wilkins said, with over 600 people on the waiting list for the course through the WDM in Saskatoon.

There are also private courses available, including one offered by Wilkins. He said that people interested are getting younger as well, with more people in the 25-35

Monte Wilkins hammers out some metal as part of the blacksmithing demonstration at the Yorkton Exhibition Summer Fair. year old age bracket looking to take courses, with more women interested as well.

“It has diversified a lot in what people think about what blacksmithing is. It’s not just tools and that anymore, anything that can be done with metal, people are finding out that they can

do it.”

The fair brings with it some challenges when blacksmithing. The sun makes it hard to see temperatures, and the colours in the metal or the fire. You could burn it or work it too cold, but he said you can feel the temperature with enough experience.

“It’s something that comes with experience.”

He said it can be slower than what people expect, and people need to understand that moving metal takes multiple hammer blows and it’s not a 30 second job.

The length of a demonstration means that it’s an opportunity to teach,

Wilkins said, and he and other demonstrators relish questions.

“I love lots of questions, I like people asking them, I want to give as much information as I can. Not just about what would have been done on the prairies here but also a little history of blacksmithing throughout the ages for people, so they get an understanding on how blacksmithing has developed through the ages. At one point in time steel was so hard to make that it became more valuable than gold. People have a little difficulty understanding that until you describe the processes to make steel. Iron was easily made, but steel wasn’t. The process to make steel was so precious, gold could be found fairly easily but steel wasn’t so easily made.”

While the processes of making steel has become more refined, he said that the processes used began with blacksmiths.

And through the demonstration, he hopes people who took the time to watch learned a bit more about the history of blacksmithing.

Summer busy time for local tourism Yorkton’s motto is Where Good Things Happen! And as we continue through the summer season, more and more tourists from all around the world are visiting. The tourism industry continues to be an important economic factor for Yorkton, with 38.1 million spent directly in the Yorkton constituency by visitors to the region.

Every year, Tourism Yorkton keeps a tally of all the people that come into the city as visitors, so that the people of the City of Yorkton can have a better idea about who is coming into our city and why.

This year, Yorkton has had an impressive amount of visitors in May and June. 679 came from within Canada and

61 came from the United States and elsewhere in the world, for a grand total of 740 visitors in these two months alone.

Some interesting facts about our visitors in May and June: Over half of our visitors came from Eastern Canada.

Almost 20 per cent of our visitors came from within Saskatchewan.

Prince Edward Island had the least amount of visitors at 5, but nearby Nova Scotia had 56!

The furthest anyone travelled to come and see us were Australians that travelled over 13,000 kilometers!

What are the keys to succeeding as a businesswoman?

The appetite for risk, the love for a good challenge, the desire to succeed, the longing to be one’s own boss, the appeal of a better balance between work and family life, and, most importantly, the immense passion for one’s job — these are the driving factors that are increasingly pushing women to enter the business world. Today, many women enjoy great success and inspire others to follow in their footsteps. But how do you become an accomplished businesswoman?

Entrepreneurs normally have several

essential qualities in common, starting with an unfailing desire to succeed.

Self-confidence and leadership are two other important characteristics to have to get ahead in the business world — an industry that is still largely male-dominated. And that’s not all! To succeed, women must master the art of organization, sales and networking.

But above all, they must demonstrate a high level of creativity.

Furthermore, successful businesswomen aren’t only conscious of their capabilities; they’re also

aware of their limitations. In other words, they aren’t afraid to delegate tasks that fall beyond their expertise to others. Being an entrepreneur means surrounding yourself with the right people, specifically trustworthy people whose skillsets contribute to the company’s prosperous future. Lastly, it’s no secret that the recipe for success includes a lot of hard work. Successful businesswomen are completely invested in their company and know the value of sacrifice. So, think you have what it takes?

Nobody rides for free...

Nobody rides for free, at least for these horses. The rodeo took place at the Yorkton Exhibition Thursday night, with the customary ejections from irritated horses and riders flying everywhere while attempting to stay on for at least eight seconds. The horses didn’t make it easy, but the amazingly skilled riders managed to stay on (well, for the most part). In some cases, it was Rider: 0, Equine 1, but there were a few stalemates, and one hardy soul that stayed on well in excess of the required eight.

Meet Ryan Schultz: Maxime Bernier’s Yorkton PPC candidate

By Cory Carlick Staff Writer Ryan Schultz says Conservative supporters who are disillusioned with the way the party runs now has another option.

Schultz is the Yorkton candidate for longtime Conservative MP Maxime Bernier’s newly founded People’s Party of Canada.

When longtime Conservative MP Maxime Bernier joined the CPC caucus, it was the beginning of an ascent that would culminate his strong candidacy for leadership of the entire party. Eventually, his support within the party nearly clinched him the top job.

With 49% of the vote in the 13th round of the CPC Leadership election after leading the polls in the first twelve, missing narrowly the position of Leader of the Official Opposition as a close second to Andrew Scheer, Bernier was undeterred.

Eventually, after disagreements with Scheer’s leadership of the CPC, Bernier made the bold move to form his own Party. The People’s Party of Canada, although established in late 2018, has made impressive strides in a very short amount of time in terms of its supporters uncommon to newly formed parties. Typically, new parties fight for years to establish legitimacy in the public eye.

Bernier was determined to run candidates in all of Canada’s 338

federal ridings in the 2019 federal election this fall, a tall order for any party, particularly a new one, but Bernier, never known to be shy with his views, especially during his tenure with the Conservatives and his duties as MP for the riding, certainly had his work cut out for him.

Still, the newly minted People’s Party of Canada managed to do so - registration documents were duly submitted to Elections Canada on October 10, 2018, and the party claims to have over 30,000 registered members.

It has also managed to get considerable press from mainstream press outlets, especially the CBC -- largely as a result of Bernier’s background.

Whatever your political stripes may be, with a platform echoing what some say is more in line with a traditional Conservative policy, the PPC is definitely making some noise.

The federal candidate for the PPC in Yorkton was announced a little over a month ago, and on Saturday afternoon, Ryan Schultz held a low key meet-and-greet at the City Limits Inn on the corner of Betts and Broadway.

Despite considerable competition for the attentions of Yorktonites from the Exhibition, the turnout of the meet and greet was considerable, with donations and supporters remarkably solid.

Yorkton This Week sat down with PPC candidate Ryan Schultz in

Brown’s Leisure World Highway #10 East, Yorkton www.brownsleisureworld.com

Ryan Schultz order to get more of an idea of the PPC’s platform as it evolves and, of course, Ryan himself.

“Well, my background, I’ve spent seven years so far working at the Colonsay potash mine.

I do electrical drafting, and I’ve done a little bit of general contracting in between. For the last three years, I’ve been Councillor at the village of Young. That was kind of my first step getting involved in politics. But once I got into politics in Young, you actually start talking with people in your community. You get to understand where they’re coming from [with] some of the issues they’re having. Just, kind of [the] effects and changes you can make in policies or by-laws that can help them. That, you know, it lit a fire in me.

“I was always into federal politics, but not quite to the same extent as when we had the election for the leader of the CPC [Conservative] party.

I voted for Max[ime] myself, I joined the membership and got a member just to vote for Max, so I was a little disappointed he didn’t win.

The stories that came out afterward about the election, I wasn’t necessarily thrilled with. It put a really bad taste in my

mouth, especially with Scheer and his carton of milk; he was celebrating his win. I didn’t like that.

So when Max announced he was starting his new party, that’s when I decided, ‘Okay, I’m joining up right away.’

“I was a founding member right from the get-go, and then I’d kind of been on the fence about actually getting into politics, or actually representing -- or trying to represent. It was...I had a few people tell me, ‘You know, you seem to know your politics and your policies.’ They said I was a good public speaker! We’ll see about that,” Schultz said with a chuckle.

“So I was like, ‘OK. I’ll try it. Why not.’ They selected me to run for Moose Jaw, but I lost out to Jay. He’s a very, very popular man. He doubled our membership alone!

Just him. So they asked me if I wanted to represent Yorkton, would I set up here. I have a friend who lives up here, he’s the director of finance for the city, so we’re really good buddies. We can talk a lot about what it takes to run a city. He comes from one side of it, I come from the councillor side of it.”

Schultz says he has had a lot of support with-

in Yorkton with a lot of locals reaching out via social media.

Asked what he’s been hearing from local residents that have reached out to him as concerns, he says a few things that have come up repeatedly.

“Cost of living,” said Schultz.

“The costs of living going up -- that really resonates with our platform that I’ve been pushing.

Different policies that we can do to reduce the amount of costs of living in general for everyone.

Not just the poor, not just the wealthy. It’s everyone.

“The other one has been shrinking the federal government, that’s a lot of what I hear from PPC supporters, and I think that’s a very important thing, especially coming from our province where we only have 15 seats in government right now. I think the more we can get out of federal politics and into the provinces, you’re going to see a lot more changes that will happen for the better in the provinces. They’ll be held to a higher level; you can actually hold your provincial government accountable. To even go beyond that, what I would like to see -- beyond the platform from a little bit -- is if you can take the money out of provincial politics and go back down into municipal politics. I think if the municipalities have a lot more money, they would be able to do the spending that would actually make a bigger difference than seeing it from a higher level of government like provincial or federal. They’re the ones that that deal with a lot of these problems firsthand.”

Schultz says his party’s goals are simple.

“Let the people keep the money they earn,” he said.

“Let’s put more money in the pockets of all people, so we can let them steer the economy.

Limit the amount of federal tax dollars that the federal government takes in, and actually push that onto the provinces themselves. So, essentially like a tit-for-tat.

We’re going to cut out 2 billion of federal dollars from Saskatchewan, but we also want to see the

provincial government increase their taxes by 2 billion to offset the different spending. One of the areas that we want to go into is health care.

Make the provinces more accountable when it comes to health care, and also loosen up a little bit the federal rules to allow the provinces to explore more of an introduction of the private sector into the health system but still being able to offer a single payor type system.”

Schultz also says that a lot of government contracts are only available to huge corporations with deep pockets, shutting out smaller firms that are qualified simply because they aren’t huge but otherwise qualified. He cites the auctioning off of CRTC wireless spectrum as an example. Rogers or Bell can afford the costs of buying spectrum from the government to start a cell phone company, but a smaller firm that could be a viable competitor wouldn’t. Schultz says he wants to change that, by changing the rules through deregulation.

“Selling Canada Post.

Right now, Canada Post has Purolator. Purolator pretty much subsidizes Canada Post. So if we can open that up, we can introduce more competition into the mail sector as well, and at least we’d save taxpayers a lot of dollars.”

According to Schultz, those torn between where to cast their vote has a clear deliniation, especially to traditionally conservative voters.

“We are the only Conservative choice when it comes to the politics nowadays. Andrew Scheer has taken the Conservative Party of Canada so far into the left of centre on certain subjects now that there’s a lot of Conservatives that are disillusioned with the entire political body.

All they simply need to do is hear the People’s Party of Canada and our platform, and that would be more than enough to persuade these people who are disillusioned.”

Ryan can be reached on Twitter with the handle @RyanSchultz_PPC and the party’s official website lists its platform at https://www.peoplespartyofcanada.ca/

Time to prepare for upcoming hort. show Time marches on, and it’s only a few weeks until the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society Annual Fruit, Flower and Vegetable Show, Wednesday, August 7 from 1:00 till 5:00 p.m. at St. Gerard’s Parish Complex, 125 Third Avenue North, Yorkton.

This is a chance to see the best of the gardening season! Your admission includes coffee or tea and dainties, so bring a friend or two and enjoy a most pleasant gardening afternoon! Everyone is welcome!

The other day we were talking with a gardening friend who mentioned using grass clippings as mulch in the garden. It’s a method of recycling that has been around for a long time. Grass clippings are not only beneficial to leave on the lawn, but useful in the garden, too. They help to retain moisture in the soil, they help to cool the soil, and they return nitrogen and nutrients to the soil.

Mom’s garden was always innovative: not only did Sweet Pea love to try new vegetables and flowers, but my dear parents enjoyed trying new methods of gardening as well. They both loved to read, and always had stacks of gardening magazine and books that they would read and discuss together. I remember with great nostalgia how they would sit at the kitchen table, enjoying a cuppa coffee, and say “So what should we plant in the garden this year?”

And there was always something new to try! It was a wonderful and edu-

DEBBIE HAYWARD

YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

Gardener’s Notebook cational example and a very special family time for us. Working together in our garden was a treasured joy.

I told you about how Mom loved growing many kinds of tomatoes each year; well, I remember that she used to lay newspaper down between the neat rows of tomatoes, then Daddy would spread fresh grass clippings over the newspaper. Not only did this keep the weeds down, but it made a most attractive looking “green” path between the rows. By the end of the summer the clippings would be nice and dry, the newspaper would break down, and then the entire “path” could be worked back into the soil.

For an easier approach, grass clippings can be spread between your garden rows, but with some restraint.

I read that fresh grass clippings should not be more than 1/4 inch deep, because they will take long to dry and break down, and we could run the risk of smelly mulch, and also the mulch might stay too damp and encourage mold or disease. Not a pleasant picture for our gardens! But dry grass clippings can be applied a little more thickly.

And of course it goes without saying that if you have spread any chemicals on your lawn, you don’t want those clippings to end up on your garden.

Another gardening friend, who always has a beautiful garden, was also telling us about how she makes a kind of “grass-clipping tea” that her plants just love!

While this earthy mixture may not smell very fragrant, it offers up nutrients galore for the plants! They’ll be smiling after you give them this refreshing treat!

Speaking of trying something new, some members of our group recently got together to make hypertuffa planters. Some made “draped” planters, while some of us made more traditional containers and bowls. It was great fun, and the results were beautiful!

Thank you Allona for hosting this great event!

Gardeners, if you’d like to try a fun garden project, look up directions for hypertuffa planters and give them a try!

Where’s the missing end to that story?

Unfinished stories surround us. A television series you enjoy that’s cancelled before a proper conclusion. A book you’re reading, a cliff-hanger till the last, sadly missing, page. A fascinating conversation floating to you from the next restaurant table, but then things get too loud to hear the rest.

Last week, some regular readers of the print version of Sunny Side Up noted an unfinished story here too. In one of the newspapers that publish it, the last paragraph had disappeared.

“Kathleen,” some wondered. “What happened? What was the strange rod, and did you make it home?”

For those who didn’t read last week’s column, I’ll try to catch you up.

I wrote about hearing a sudden scraping noise emerging from under our vehicle as the Preacher and I drove at highway speed. We pulled over, discovered a detached dangling rod, pulled it out, then went on our way.

The vehicle seemed fine.

However, the Preacher had commented that the rod must have previously supported something. That concerned me more than a bit. Much to his amusement, instead of having faith that no matter what, God knew our situation and would help us handle any possible out-

come, I worried all the way home. After all, support rods get installed for a reason. What if something vital dropped off, making things worse?

The unpublished missing ending explained what happened. So, for those readers who wondered, here’s the rest of the story.

“Safely back home, the Preacher took the rod to our mechanic neighbour. He shook his head and chuckled. ‘That’s off a fuel line. But it didn’t come from your van. You must have picked it up along a road somewhere.’

No worries.” And now you know.

I know another unfinished story, far more important.

The New Testament book of Acts, presumed to have been penned by the disciple Luke, details the beginnings of the Christian faith, a faith considered heretical by Jewish religious leaders who refused to accept Jesus as Messiah. In the early days of Christianity, as they are in certain places today, his follow-

ers were hunted, persecuted and often martyred.

The book details “all that Jesus began to do and teach while on earth.” It also tells the story of Paul, a Jewish leader who became a pivotal figure in early Christianity. Before a remarkable encounter with Jesus, after which he became an unwavering follower, Paul had tried to destroy the faith, capturing Christians like rats in the streets.

(Ironically, tradition says that Paul himself was martyred.)

Acts feels unfinished.

Here’s why: the narrative of Jesus’ work on earth and the faith he established is still being written. However, the Bible clearly states that Jesus will one day return.

Everyone will then know the ending of that story.

We’ll know who genuinely followed him, and we’ll know who didn’t.

You and I are characters in that unfinished story. We choose our parts. Which is yours?

Searching for sun, trap shoot set for July 13

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer They had guns, but no sun, and they’re hoping this weekend is different.

The Yorkton Wildlife Federation Trap and Skeet Club is hoping that the third time’s the charm, and are aiming to hold the Sun’s Out Guns Out trap shoot at the clubhouse at York Lake on July 13.

Club president Warren Thomson said that while the Ladies’ Night held the evening before had people shooting in the rain and having a great time, they wanted to put on Sun’s Out when the sun’s in the sky, because this event relies more on drop-in traffic instead of pre-paid tickets.

“Hopefully we have folks coming out, winning

a gun, taking a few shots, enjoying some food and camaraderie, and family trap shooting.”

There are guns to give away as prizes, with a Winchester pump shotgun sponsored by Browning to be given away in a draw for people who participate in the trap shooting. Canadian Tire and Discovery Motorsports are sponsoring a Remington Versa Max semi-automatic shotgun to be given away for a $10 ticket, to a maximum of 100 tickets.

“You have to be here and participating in the trap shoot to buy one of those tickets.”

Part of the goal of the event is to get new people to go to the club and try out the sport. There will be coaching on hand and guns for people to use if

The regular Tuesday night shoot at the Yorkton Wildlife Federation Trap and Skeet Club. they don’t own one of their own. They like to show off what they have at York Lake, said Thomson, and they want more people to know

about it.

“We take pride in our grounds, and we want people to come out and take a look at it. Who knows? Maybe they will

come back for one of our Tuesday night shoots.

We’re always trying to grow the sport.”

The event is for everyone, Thomson said, with

coaches on hand to help novices learn. It’s meant to be a fun shoot for the entire family.

“With some of the novices, we coach them, and what I find is once they hit one or two they connect the dots and they start hitting them.”

New to the grounds is a 3D Archery Shoot, with ten targets that archers can take aim at. They’re going to be holding the shoot at the same time.

Tickets are $50, and will get attendees lunch as well as two rounds of shooting.

Additional rounds are an extra $25, and come with more chances at winning one of the guns.

On Tuesday, it’s $12.50 a round, and they hope people get hooked on the weekend and keep coming on Tuesdays.

Equine thunder in chuckwagon race at Exhibition

By Cory Carlick Staff Writer Kevin Gareau has been racing chuckwagons a long time. This veteran racer, while preparing to wow the crowd at 6:30, took a bit of time to talk to Yorkton This Week about the sport of chuckwagon racing, training, and what you can expect to see at the races.

“Today we’ve got the chariots that run at 3 o’clock, tonight, the chariots at 6:30. We’ve got 17 heats of chariots; great turnout, and we’ve got, I think, 38 wagons. 12 heats of wagons. They treat us well here,” Gareau says of Yorkton.

“Everybody loves to come to Yorkton. There’s a good mix of young and veteran drivers. It’s great being here and great to see so many people coming out here.”

Gareau is definitely one of the veteran racers.

“Been racing since 1996,” he says.

“So, I guess I’m coming up here on 24 years, 25 years. It’s good, you know? My daughter’s involved, now, in her third year [racing]. She’s

16, my brother Ben comes with us, my dad raced before us in the ‘70s, early 80s. It’s a family thing for sure, and we have a lot of fun doing it.

“As it is for most of these drivers, it’s a family affair.”

Training, too, is intense.

“It starts early,” Kevin admits.

“We have a measure day; we’ve been doing it in the Yorkton Exhibition grounds for a few years, so every horse that comes has to be measured in the spring. Up until they’re five years old. They can only start when they’re two, and [they’re measured] up until they’re five.

Then they get a permanent brand if they measure in as a five year old.

They get what we call a permanent freeze brand, and you’ll see it on their shoulders. It’s an ‘SL’ with a bar underneath.

So you’ll see, if you’re a bar ‘P’ or a Bar ‘A’ -- it’s just different association measures. It’s all part of a provincial deal between Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.

“Right after measure day, you know, you start

You can feel the horses before you see them: thundering hooves tear up the dirt in the high speed races. giving them a few miles getting them ready for the first event which is at the end of May. Then, from there we keep on going to keep them in shape.”

“We do take a lot of pride in our outfits, and you’ll see tonight there’s going to be a pile of outfits within one second which is pretty amazing when you start from a stop and have to do a figure eight around a half-mile track. It’s pretty impressive.”

Round the bend: battle for the top in the last heat.

SCRABA - The family of Sonia Scraba of the Calder district, beloved wife of Lorne Scraba, sadly announce her sudden passing on Sunday, June 23, 2019 at the age of 71 years. Sonia Marie Scraba was born on June 2, 1948 at Yorkton, daughter of Kathleen Miller (nee Sarafincian), adopted and raised by Nick and Rosie Lesanko.

On May 1, 1971 Sonia was united in marriage to Lawrence Scraba in Calder, enjoying 48 loving years of marriage. They farmed in the Calder district and raised two daughters, Catherine and Cynthia. Baba enjoyed gardening, chickens, playing cards, baking and was known for her famous perogies. Baba was very proud of her granddaughters.

She always enjoyed socializing, whether it was at family events, Ukrainian Dance Competitions, New Year’s Eve parties, Ukrainian Christmases and Easters. She always enjoyed colouring eggs with the grandchildren and making perogies and baking with them too.

She was always a happy, smiling, joking lady who loved to visit. She leaves to cherish her memory, her beloved husband Lawrence and their children: Catherine (Dion) Spokes of Canora and their daughter Tessa Spokes; Cynthia (Bill) Brinley of Yorkton and their three daughters Kelby, Taylor and Hunter Brinley. Her sisters and brother, Karen (Brent) Agar of Roblin, MB, Sharon (Kevin) Kowalchuk of Roblin, MB, Bernice (William) Stratuliak of Dauphin, MB and Joe Miller of Roblin, MB; as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Sonia was predeceased by her parents, Kathleen Miller and Rosie and Nick Lesanko and her brother Bernie Miller. She will be sadly missed and forever remembered for her infectious laughter, sense of humour and memories she made with her family and friends. The Funeral Service was held on Wednesday, July 3, 2019 at Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre with Rev. Roland Legge of the United Church of Canada officiating. Sonia’s life history was shared by Kelby Brinley. One of Sonia’s favourite musical selections, “I’ll Fly Away” was played as the recessional. The interment followed in the Garden of Gethsemane at Yorkton Memorial Gardens with Curtis Lacusta, Gerald Shymko, Bryce Mandziak, Geoff Mickolas, Karl Mickolas and Nicole Agar serving as the casket bearers. Memorials may be made to the Cardiac Care at Yorkton Regional Health Centre or the Diabetes Association. Condolences to the family can be posted at www.baileysfuneralhome.com.

HUESER - In the early morning of June 6, 2019, Darrell passed away peacefully at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre with his wife at his bedside. Predeceased by his father, Raymond Hueser; fathers-inlaw, Les Cowan and Vernon Andrus; nephews, Brandon Dooley and Jamie Cowan; as well as many aunts and uncles. Forever remembered by his wife, Shirley; daughters: Jasmine (Chris Stadnyk) and Kayla (Randy) Stephanow; grandchildren, Reese, Jonathan, Emerson and Kiera; mother, Lillian; mother-in-law, Betty Andruf; sister, Donna (Charlie) Dooley; brothers-in-law, Edward (Helen) Cowan, Kenneth Cowan and Curtis (Angela) Andrus; sisters-in-law, Wendy (Lyle) Heinemann and Beverley (Kerry) Kowbel and many nieces and nephews. Darrell was born on July 25, 1960 to Raymond and Lillian (Wowchuk) Hueser in Tisdale, SK where he spent his childhood and youth. In 1983 he met the love of his life, Shirley, they were married on Nov 9, 1985 and moved to St. Paul, AB. They welcomed their daughters in 1986 and 1988. Darrell spent his high school years and early adulthood working road construction alongside his dad, until a workplace accident forced him to look for a new career path. In 1990 he went back to school to complete his GED followed by his Diploma in Appraisal and Assessment from Lakeland College in Vermillion.

Soon after graduation, in 1993, he accepted a position with SAMA in North Battleford, later to transfer in 1996 to Yorkton where he continued to work until 2013. Darrell and Shirley ran a successful greenhouse business in Springside from spring of 1999 until his health made them decide to close the doors in July of 2013 so that they could enjoy the spring and summers gardening, fishing and enjoying their family and friends. Darrell was an avid hunter and fisherman and could be found spending hours either on a boat, on the ice or in a tree stand. He was a jack of all trades and could often be found teaching his daughters and their spouses a new life skill or tinkering in the shop on one thing or another with his dear friend, Lonnie Chupa. Most of all he was a devoted Papa and could be found “babysitting” any one or all of them at the drop of a hat. He will be deeply missed but will live forever within our hearts and memories.

Friends are invited to join the family at the Yorkton Memorial Gardens, Garden of Memories, on Saturday, July 13, 2019 at 3:00pm for a memorial service. Memorials in memory of Darrell may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Assoc. or the Heart & Stroke Foundation.

CHILLOG - Vincent Chillog of Yorkton passed away June 23, 2019 at the age of 99. Vincent Steve Chillog was born August 3, 1919, son of Steve and Elizabeth (Varga) Chillog. Vince farmed with his father, eventually taking over the farm and later earning a Century Plaque for 100 years of continued family farming. Vince was united in marriage to Anne (Molnar) on October 25, 1943 at the Holy Trinity Church in McKim. The couple grain and cattle farmed in the McKim District. Vince did it all farming with horses which he loved especially at foaling time. He started farming with horses and finished with tractors. Vince and Anne retired in 1983 and moved into Yorkton. It was at this time that life became more relaxed. In his retirement he loved bowling, fishing, boating and camping in their cozy mobile home. Over the years they had the opportunity to travel to many places such as Mexico, Hawaii, Las Vegas, Disneyland and the Maritimes. Vince moved into the Bentley for a short period of time after Anne’s passing in 2011. Soon life changed for Vince again. He first moved into the Kamsack and District Nursing Home and then relocated to the Yorkton and District Nursing Home until his passing on June 23, 2019 just short of his 100th birthday. Vince leaves to cherish his life, daughter, Fran (Phil) Thirlwall, their daughter, Kim Watts, her sons, Matthew and Curtis; daughter, Ellie (Glen) Zulyniak, their children, Jason (Alison) Zulyniak, their children, Kyler and Abrielle, Jackie (Michael) Reece and daughter, Peyton; daughter, Mim Chillog (Bryce), her children, Eddie Clapp, children, Leigh and McKenzie, April Clapp (Tyler), son, Dante, Jesse Clapp (Sara), children, Summer, Sadie and Sydney, as well as many nieces and nephews. Prayers for Vincent were offered on Thursday, June 27, 2019 at 7:00 pm from St. Gerard’s Roman Catholic Parish in Yorkton. A Funeral Mass was celebrated on Friday, June 28, 2019 at 11:00 am also from St. Gerard’s Roman Catholic Parish. Interment followed in the Yorkton City Cemetery.

Leonard gone so on to Fajardo

So the inevitable has happened, Kawhi Leonard has signed with the Los Angeles Clippers.

This was an eventuality expected the day Leonard was acquired by the Toronto Raptors, and while I admit I was starting to believe the championship win would have Leonard staying with the Raptors, it simply wasn’t in the cards. There were suggestions the choice was a close one, but in sports close only counts in horseshoes as they say.

Leonard has his rings, the money when you are talking tens of millions doesn’t mean as much, and so the superstar that delivered the Raptors a title is going home.

The vacuum of his loss will be a large one in Toronto. There will be a digression, although the remnants of the championship team should keep the team in a playoff spot, albeit a long way from a championship.

It will help if OG Anunoby progresses even half as well as Pascal Siakim did this past season, but in the end the

CALVIN DANIELS

Sports path likely has Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol traded as the team moves into a major retooling.

Speaking of a retooling Saskatchewan Roughrider fans have to be encouraged by the efforts of quarterback Cody Fajardo. His first two games were monsters. Yes he and the entire team stumbled on Saturday against Calgary, but that happens to even the best of quarterbacks; witness the rough start to Mike Reilly’s time in British Columbia this season. I have certainly seen enough to thank Zach Collaros for his time, but go home and avoid another concussion.

This is not a sea-

WCBL Cards continue to struggle for wins

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Wins are still proving hard to earn for the Yorkton Cardinals.

The local Western Canadian Baseball League team sits with a 2-26 record for a .071 winning percentage, the lowest in the 12-team loop. They sit last in the Eastern Division, 19 games back of frontrunning Weyburn with a record of 21-7.

The WCBL version of the Highway #10 rivalry heated up again Friday as the Cardinals headed down the pavement to meet the Melville Millionaires.

Yorkton went ahead with a single run in the first, adding another in the top half of the second

inning for a 2-0 lead.

But, The Millionaires scored three in the home half of the second to take a 3-2 lead, a lead they would not relinquish the rest of the way.

The Cardinals were shut-out the rest of the way, while Melville added one in the third, another in the fourth, then two more runs in the eighth for a 7-2 win.

Chris Lacher was the winning pitcher for Melville. He started and went three innings, allowing five hits and two earned runs.

Jake Anderson took the loss for Yorkton. He started and went four innings, allowing 10 hits and five runs, all of those earned.

The teams were scheduled to meet again

Saturday in Yorkton, but the game was postponed due to weather.

Blanked in Regina

Last Wednesday the Cardinals visited the Red Sox in Regina, falling behind in the second inning as the host side plated a pair of runs.

The Red Sox added four in the seventh, and that would be it as the Red Sox rounded out a 6-0 win.

Michael Batten was the winning pitcher.

He went the distance allowing only three hits, walking two and striking out 11.

Trenton Lee suffered the loss on the mound for Yorkton, going eight innings, scattering 12 hits and allowing the six runs, all of those earned.

Shut-out by 57s

You can add another lopsided loss to the ledger in Swift Current last week.

The Cardinals were facing the 57s July 2, when the host team handed the Cardinals a 9-0 defeat.

Swift Current starter Logan Garza, who went five hitless innings, striking out six, earned the win.

The Cardinals would manage only three hits on the night.

The losing pitcher was Cardinal Zachary Taylor. He started and lasted one one-third of an inning, allowing three hits, and walking three while giving up six runs, all of those earned. Swift Current would end up plating seven first inning runs.

Alex Stinnett punched a home run for Swift Current, his third of the season. He was also one of three 57s with two runs-batted-in.

The Cardinal record drops to 2-24, while Swift Current improved to 16-9.

son where wins matter to me, but I do want to see the ‘Riders find the next quarterback, so give Fajardo five or six more games to see exactly what you have.

It’s also shout-out time to CBC sports online.

They are an avenue to watch some great sports that aren’t making it to broadcast television because Canadian cable sports networks do a rather lousy job of following Canadian sports that are not hockey.

It was via CBC online I watched Sarah Pavan and Melissa HumanaParedes win at the world beach volleyball championship in Germany on the weekend, earning a berth in the 2020 Summer

Olympics in the process.

I was impressed by the game in a number of ways, starting with the players on both sides wearing full body uniforms rather than bikinis, which I’ve always thought detracted from the legitimacy of the sport.

In watching the action I was left wondering if a beach volleyball league, with men and women teams competing in a city-based loop across Canada could work.

Our country is starting to show some sport maturity. Once the realm of only the Canadian Football League, the new Canadian Elite Basketball League is now giving Canadian players a professional option at home. Ditto the Canadian Premier League in soccer.

Certainly beach volleyball with its small team rosters, and a sort of modern-age sport following, might be another sport that could find an audience in our country and help develop more players such as Pavan and Humana-Paredes.

The Government of Saskatchewan recently enacted The Household Hazardous Waste Product Stewardship Regulations, paving the way for an important new provincial recycling program.

The regulations require first sellers – businesses that manufacture, sell or distribute household hazardous waste products in the province – to operate a product stewardship program for the collection and safe disposal of these products. Household hazardous waste includes materials with a flammable, corrosive or toxic symbol on the container, as well as pesticides and batteries.

“Through consultation and engagement with the public, we clearly understand that household hazardous waste is a priority issue, as it poses a risk to human health, safety and the environment,” Environment Minister Dustin Duncan said. “A new household hazardous waste stewardship program will help protect the environment by reducing the amount of hazardous material improperly disposed of in our municipal landfills and sewer systems.”

The development of regulations for an industryled household hazardous waste program has been a significant focus for the Ministry of Environment over the past year. Once the program is established, citizens across the province will have access to responsible disposal options for these materials.

The next step for first sellers is to produce a product stewardship program for review by the Ministry of Environment within 180 days. Once approved, a further announcement will be made on program details and implementation.

Saskatchewan has many examples of successful stewardship-based initiatives, including programs focused on the collection of automotive fluids, tires, paint, electronics, paper and packaging, and agricultural plastics. Through this model, producers of these products manage the full life cycle of the products in an environmentally responsible manner and create systems for accountable waste management.

Yorkton Regional High School 2019 Valedictory Address Good afternoon family, friends, teachers, other faculty members, and fellow graduates. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for attending our ceremony today. I am honoured to be standing before you as a representative of the Class of 2019.

Graduation is a milestone that means so much more than academics. It is a landmark that signals the end of high school and the beginning of our future. As we sit here on the stage today, on the cusp of a new chapter in our lives, we must take a few moments to appreciate the journey it was to get here.

When we first walked into this building four years ago, we had no idea what would be coming our way. We have since learned many lessons such as the value of hard work and determination, the importance of friendships, and if you walk on

the wrong side of the hallway, you’ll end up trampled like Simba’s dad in The Lion King. These lessons have served as the basis for the foundation that the YRHS has given each of us. Many of us may be heading in different directions after today, but these lessons will serve each of us well wherever we end up.

There have been many ups and downs during our time here, and all of those moments have formed bonds between us. Our high school experience began with Mr. Hackzewicz throwing a fish across the stage to Andrew Yeadon on the first day of Grade Nine.

I feel like that was an appropriate start considering we have now seen Mr. Sharpe in a diaper and Mr. Nesseth kiss a pig. No matter how hard we may try to forget seeing Mr. Sharpe like that, it’s those kinds of moments that will stick

cram the night before the final and still get a good mark.

Tanner Washington with us.

I would like to thank our teachers for all the effort they have put into each of our educations. I am certain that many of us would not be graduating today if not for their patience and support.

They have taught us many valuable things, both in the classroom and out,

that we will carry with us long after we leave this building. They have also always been willing to go the extra mile with both our studies and extracurriculars. The many pieces of advice that they have given us won’t be forgotten, but despite what they may tell you, it’s always possible to

To our parents, I would like to thank you for supporting us through everything we have done.

You have cheered us on from day one, and you have always been there to celebrate our accomplishments with us.

When we needed someone to lean on, you were also our crutches to help us through tough times.

Your continued love and kindness are largely what shaped each of us into the people we are today. Many of us would not be graduating if not for your support. Thank you for all that you have done for us.

Finally, to my class: Today is not only marking the end of high school for us, but the beginning of our future. Although this chapter of our lives may be coming to a close, we have so many more that

haven’t even begun. Take a moment to look at the people around you. On this stage, we have champions in football, photography, cosmetology, archery, and a plethora of other areas. We need to take pride in what we have accomplished already, but also in what we have yet to accomplish. As I look across this stage, I know that we will do great things with the rest of our lives that we cannot yet fathom.

Thank you for making high school such a memorable experience for me. It has been a long, but worthwhile journey.

As we sit here in some of our final moments together, I know that we have been prepared for what is yet to come. Many of us will go our separate ways after today, but we will always be together in our pursuit of excellence.

Congratulations Class of 2019!
