The consultation for the playground at Patrick Park involved important stakeholders, the kids who are going to play on the eventual structure.
City seeks input into Patrick Park playground By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The City of Yorkton is getting a new playground. The current proposal would see a new play structure get installed in the northeastern corner of Patrick Park, and the city was at the Yorkton Public Library to get feedback on what direc-
tion they should go with this playground. Taylor Morrison, Recreation Services Manager, said that the goal is to have a new playground in south-central Yorkton, because the area has lost four playgrounds in the past twenty years, whether they were city playgrounds or connected to schools.
They identified that families in the area are looking for a playground they can access without crossing a major arterial road. The location in the park is meant to balance parking, access to the Brodie walking path and minimize disruption to the current disc golf course. While it is currently penciled in for
Patrick Park, they still welcome feedback into the location and whether that’s the right spot for a playground in the area, said Morrison. The city has received ten different proposals, which attendees at the presentation could examine, rank and discuss what they liked and disliked about the designs.
The city wanted a playground with natural elements, Morrison said. “Getting back to wood timbers, boulders – be they real or be they fabricated – incorporating and encouraging that natural play.” They were happy to see children take an active part in the meeting, Morrison said, espe-
cially since they’re the playground experts. “Parents are great, but generally it’s the kids playing on the playground, so we want to make sure that we’re getting their comments and feedback on it.” The goal is to see a playground in place by fall of 2019.
TA Foods hosts Asian delegation By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer TA Foods in Yorkton hosted a tour of 65 visitors from China, Japan, the Philippines and Vietnam Friday. The tour was arranged through the Saskatchewan Trade & Export Partnership,
explained Mike Popowich, owner at TA Foods, and they were happy to host the delegation. “We’ve been part of STEP for a long time. It’s one of the key trade organizations to be part of,” he said. Yi Zeng, Senior Director, Asia with STEP
said bringing the group to Yorkton was a natural in terms of promoting agricultural processing in the province. “Yorkton is one of the largest food processing areas (in Saskatchewan),” he said, noting that in addition to TA Foods there are other processors such as Grain
Millers, the Richardson canola crusher and Harvest Meat. “It shows our visitors how we are dedicated to our processing.” Zeng said they had hoped to stop at other facilities in the city, but the size of the tour group made that impossible based on having enough
safety gear and other plant access requirements. The tour was a follow-up to the delegates attending the Saskatchewan Asia Trade Conference in Regina Tuesday to Thursday of this week. Popowich noted that TA Foods has been part
of the trade conference through the years, even presenting two years ago as a speaker focused on the flax sector in Canada. Zeng said both the conference in Regina, and the visit to TA Foods are efforts “to help Saskatchewan

Runner takes on Sinister 7 race By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Sarah Roberts originally from Saltcoats competed recently in the Sinister 7, 100 mile ultramarathon in the Crowsnest Pass. The course took participants through rugged, remote and beautiful terrain in Alberta’s stunning Rocky Mountains.
With 6,400-metres of elevation gain across the course, it challenged the 250 solo participants who had 30-hours to complete the grueling event. The race’s name is inspired by the treacherous Seven Sisters Mountain that looms over much of the course. When the 30-hours had passed only 69 of the solo racers had completed the run

in the allotted time, Roberts only of 13 women. She completed the run in a time of 27:49:39.5, third among female competitors. Roberts, who is now 35, has only recently become involved in ultramarathons. “I started running ultramarathon and trails about four years ago,” she said, adding that ultramarathons are any
race longer than 42 kilometres, or the standard marathon most people are aware of. “The 100-mile distance is a bit of an iconic distance, one that most sort of aspires too.” The Sinister 7 race was Roberts’ first attempt at the distance, although she has sort of been working up to the 100mile plateau. “Last September I did the

crossing at the spectacular Hell’s Gate canyon at the confluence of the Smoky and Sulphur Rivers,” details the website devoted to that race. Before the Death Race Roberts was generally running 50-80-kilomtres races. So how much more difficult was the 100-mile race? “It’s more than double the difficulty,” Roberts told Yorkton This Week in a telephone interview. “There’s nowhere to hide.” Roberts said the race was not just physically grueling, but also mentally hard. “You’re out there 28 hours. You’re up for more than 30-hours. It’s mentally tiring,” she said. On the physical side, Roberts said the longer race tends to make every-
thing that might be wrong with the body come to the fore. “It causes niggling injuries to come out and be a problem,” she said. In a 50-kilometre race you can power through the occasional ache or pain, but that doesn’t work in a 100-mile race, said Roberts. Roberts said she went into the race with some concerns, an ankle injured a year ago, and an abdominal surgery last September. “But, I got pretty lucky, I rolled my other ankle and at 146 kilometres my knees started to hurt a little bit,” she said, but she added she was able to persevere. The Death Race does allow some time to recover, but the clock keeps ticking. Roberts said there were seven legs, and at each checkpoint there
was a chance to get fluids and food, or a little help from the crew, in her case her mom and dad, having her headlamp and warmer clothes as she headed out into the night section of the race. Looking back, Roberts was still a bit in awe of what she did. “It’s considered one of the toughest 100-mile races in North America,” she said. And the 30-hour limit wears on the mind. “It’s always in the back of your mind. At the start of the race you’re miles ahead of the time,” she said, and then the fatigue sets in. Roberts said there was one uphill section where she said she was thinking about how slow she was actually moving, and then began the battle of dealing with doubt if she could do it. It didn’t help that
there was rain, and that meant muddy conditions. “It was really wet. When you thought you
could run a bit, your feet were still slipping away,” she said. But she made the fin-
ish line under the time allowed. “It’s just an accomplishment to finish it,” she said. So why does Roberts do it? “I like to be outside, and I just wanted to do something,” she said, adding she found her way to running. Now she said, “There’s nothing else I’d rather do with 24-hours of my life.” And more ultramarathons may be on Roberts’ agenda. “There are 200-mile races, but I’m a long way from wanting to try that,” she said. The Larapinta Trail ultramarathon, a short 223 kilometres in Australia, where Roberts now lives, has her attention. “I’ve been thinking about doing that one for a long time,” she said.
be competitive on the price side, “It is quality that sets us apart.”
As it stands TA Foods does about 30 per cent of its business in Asia,
and Popowich sees potential to grow that, so making connections through events such as the STEP Conference and tour is important. “Asia is definitely one of our growth areas,” he
said, adding that while there are some added “difficulties to access” those markets, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea are markets they see expansion of sales being reasonable.

He said having that face-to-face interaction to solidify an existing relationship has to be beneficial. Having delegates in the province, where they can visit farms and processes is a way to promote the quality of Saskatchewan agriculture. “They see the quality ... all the way from field to
product,” said Popowich. Popowich said while Canadian producers can

Politics We have been hearing a lot of late in this next of the woods about how this country just doesn’t work anymore. One gets the frustration. It’s a big country with a sparse population and an array of interests. Exactly how rural Saskatchewan people connect with urbanites in downtown Toronto or French-speaking Montreal residents or Eastern Maritimers is often a national mystery. Regionally, economically and culturally, it would seem as if there is little that we share, making for the easy argument that we would somehow be better off separated. Recent politics has often fallen into this narrative, driven by the frustration over the perceived impact of federal Liberal government policies like the carbon tax, lack of pipeline development and Bill C-69 that adds environmental restrictions to major infrastructure projects like pipelines. Obviously, the fact that the West is more affected by matters effecting energy only enhances the notion that those elsewhere in the country don’t get our issues. But if we are to make an honest assessment of our nation, there are few other considerations to keep in mind. First, we are the second biggest country in the world, but only the 38th biggest in population. There surely are immense problems with having 37 million people scattered over 9.985 million square kilometres, but it may be better than the alternative. For the disgruntled muttering about Saskatchewan (1.1 million people) or even Saskatchewan and Alberta (add another 4.3 million people) being better off as separate nation, consider that such a scenario would produced a country with 5.5 people (at most) with a massive land mass. If Canada doesn’t carry enough weight on the world stage when we encounter trade issues with massive partners like China or the U.S., how would we better off? For that matter how would it be easier to build pipelines to get our oil to port if when we are landlocked? Maybe those talking separation haven’t clearly thought things through. But when it comes down to realistic solutions to what is a real problem of our issues not being heard in Ottawa, maybe there are other solutions. And, surprisingly, maybe one of the best places to start looking for solutions is last week’s gathering of provincial and territorial leaders — the annual Premiers’ Conference now known by the fancier title of the council of the federation (CoF). Much is being made of the new alliance of conservative premiers that consists of Premier Scott Moe, Ontario’s Doug Ford, Alberta’s Jason Kenney, Manitoba’s Brian Pallister, New Brunswick’s Blaine Higgs, Prince Edward Island’s Dennis King, (to a lesser extent) Quebec’s François Legault. This loose-knit bunch has grown especially close by the shared opposition to the carbon tax … and their eagerness to see Justin Trudeau change jobs in October. Kenney invited Moe, Higgs and Ford to a “white hat ceremony” at the Calgary Stampede the day before they were to kickoff off the three-day CoF summit that started with a meeting with Indigenous leaders at the Big River First Nation. There’s little doubt that one of things that unites this group — besides the aforementioned distaste of the carbon tax and Bill C-69 — is the desire see Andrew Scheer replace Justin Trudeau as national leader. But is that necessarily as hideous as some would make it out to be? Voters have elected provincial governments of a different political stripe than Trudeau to reflect their priorities. It stands to reason that the premiers have ever right to use such forums to make their case. And, really, shouldn’t we appreciate that conservative premiers from the west, Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes can come to a consensus on issues. Some may suggests it’s just politics, but isn’t this how this country actually can work? Murray Mandryk has been covering provincial politics for over 22 years.

Reminder of importance of export sales I
t still comes as a surprise when the potential for export sales for Yorkton and area business is brought into tighter focus. It is, at times, easy enough to lose track of the fact Yorkton is the centre of a trading region that encompasses tens of thousands of people, extending north at least as far as Hudson Bay, SK., and Swan River MB., as well as to the east, south and west. For most of the city’s residents the business of our community is likely to seem confined to the local residents, we buy what we need in the stores here, and think little about just what it takes for businesses to be successful. For most, it means serving the residents of the larger trading area. For a few, it means taking products they produce here to a worldwide market. Last week that fact was again brought home as TA Foods, a local flax and hemp oil production company hosted a tour of potential customers for Saskatchewan products from China, Japan, the Philippines and Vietnam. The tour was arranged through the Saskatchewan Trade & Export Partnership (STEP), an important organization provincially in terms of connecting companies here with products to export with buyers around the world. Saskatchewan relies heavily on export sales in particular in terms of
forestry, and more important locally, mining and agriculture. From a rural perspective, farmers here have always produced for a worldwide market, as they far out-produce what can be consumed domestically. However, the ability to access foreign markets now extends well beyond shiploads of wheat, canola, barley and other crops headed to international markets. Increasingly, we see farm crops processed here, and the resulting product exported. That is the case with TA Foods crushing flax and hemp to produce oil products, but the company is hardly unique in that aspect, even locally. Yorkton is home to two plants crushing thousands of tonnes of canola annually, much of the resulting oil and meal, destined for export markets. Another facility turns oats grown across the region into a cereal product, much of which is destined for tables in countries beyond Canada’s borders. Such local agricultural producers are important to our city in terms of jobs, and taxes, both elements of having a vibrant economy and community. But, without export markets, those companies simply could not exist as they do today. It may not always be something we recognize, but the ability to compete globally, to make sales around the world, is vitally important to Yorkton, SK, and its residents.

Letter to the Editor Canadian Abortion Coalition opposition Dear Editor: Opposition to the portrayal in cinema of the defence of human beings in the pre-natal time of their development did not start in the summer of 2019 with the movie, Unplanned. In March of 1985, the New York Times promoted an editorial criticizing President Ronald Reagan when
he endorsed a documentary by Dr. Bernard Nathanson, an abortionist who disavowed his former work and the ideology he helped articulate. The editorial writers of “A False ‘Scream’” did not want people “to see the film that President Reagan hopes will persuade Americans to deny women the abortions
he feels they shouldn’t have.” In reality, human lives were at stake: “If every member of Congress could see “The Silent Scream,’’ he said recently, “they would move quickly to end the tragedy of abortion.’’ In 1983, during the Trial for Life in the Court of Queen’s Bench for Saskatchewan, Dr.
Patrick Beirne, a pioneer in ultrasound, described the technology as “demonstrating in a visual rather than a tactile sensation, that the baby is in fact moving” and that it is not part of the mother: “it’s a uniquely different individual.” In her book, Abby Johnson writes about the ultrasound that
changed her life. It had what could be called a Shakespearian effect on her, like the play within the play in Hamlet, where “The play’s the thing wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the king.” Unplanned has a movie within a movie, the ultrasound, that brings humanity to her sight, and she resolves, “Never
again! Never again.” The ultrasound probe had become a beam of light into her conscience, proving true what Dr. Patrick Beirne said in a Saskatchewan courtroom in the early 1980s, “that there is a living character in there.” Fr. Jeffrey D. Stephaniuk Wynyard, SK
CIBC supports Health Foundation effort The CIBC has donated $5,000 to The Health Foundation to help purchase digital mammography equipment. “We are very pleased to announce that CIBC has come forward with a donation of $5,000 for the digital mammography equipment The Health Foundation is raising money for. This new equipment is also necessary to continue the breast cancer screening program at the Yorkton Regional Hospital,” said Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation in a release. “Our goal is to have these funds raised by end of summer so the equip-
ment can be ordered and in place later this fall.” “CIBC has long been involved in initiatives to
raise funds for research into breast cancer and to assist with screening programs. I think many

people would be familiar with initiatives like CIBC’s Run for the Cure” said Candace Tendler, Branch Manager for CIBC Yorkton. “When Ross approached us about making a contribution to help purchase this equipment it was an easy decision for CIBC as this program fits right into our core values. We like to give back into the community, and we support programs that have a direct and positive effect on people and the community.” The breast screening program in Yorkton is busy, averaging over 5,000 women annually. At present, the only prov-
Gardeners get their day in August By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Gardening Day will be marked Aug. 7, in the city following a unanimous decision of Yorkton Council last week. In making the request to Council on behalf of the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society, Debbie Hayward noted the group has been active in the community since September 1906, when they had their very first flower show at City Hall. “And we’re happy to report that we are still “growing strong”,” she added. The Aug. 7, date is significant as it is the day the Society will hold its annual Fruit, Flower and Vegetable Show. “The horticultural group celebrates the best of the gardening season with our August show,” said Hayward. Hayward said the Society does far more in a year than the show as they are also busy all year long with monthly
meetings, speakers, presentations and spring and fall plant sales. Our members are also active in the community as volunteers at various seniors and special care homes, helping them to plant and maintain their garden spaces, and maintaining the beautiful and restful solarium at the hospital. We also have a garden-
ing website with group activities. “While many aspects of the Horticultural Society have changed and evolved over the years,” said Hayward. “The main goal is still the same: to encourage and nurture a love of horticulture. “Gardening provides many benefits, such as
a healthy outdoor activity, exercise, the satisfaction of growing one’s own food, and the pleasure of making the home environment and by extension, the city, more beautiful.”
en method of reducing breast cancer deaths is early detection. That is why breast screening is conducted. The new digital mammography
equipment will be an upgrade over our current equipment and provide the best diagnosis available. — Submitted

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.

Crop development behind average Crops across the province are advancing as a result of the warm weather and moisture, although crops are behind or at their normal developmental stages. Sixty-seven per cent of the fall cereals and 32 per cent of the spring cereals are in the heading stage, while 38 per cent of the canola and mustard and 54 per cent of the pulse crops are flowering. Crop conditions vary greatly across the province, with the majority in poor-to-good condi-
tion. Livestock producers now have seven per cent of the hay crop cut and three per cent baled or put into silage. Hay quality is rated as one per cent excellent, 47 per cent good, 33 per cent fair and 19 per cent poor. Many swaths are significantly smaller than normal due to the lack of moisture this spring. Although many pastures have greened-up from the moisture, they are expected to have a reduced carrying capacity. Pasture conditions are rated
Provincially, topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as two per cent surplus, 79 per cent adequate, 18 per cent short and one per cent very short. Topsoil moisture on the hay land and pasture is rated as one per cent surplus, 75 per cent adequate, 22 per cent short and two per cent very short. Producers have been applying fungicides, where warranted, on pulse, cereal and oilseed crops. Other sources of crop damage this week include
as three per cent excellent, 38 per cent good, 42 per cent fair, 15 per cent poor and two per cent very poor. Rainfall last week ranged from trace amounts to 92 mm in the Kelliher area. The Grenfell area reported up to 80 mm of rain, the Leader area 35 mm, the Foam Lake area 26 mm, the Macklin area 25 mm, the Humboldt area 8 mm and the Glaslyn area 48 mm. There were also reports of strong winds and hail causing damage to crops.
localized flooding, strong winds, hail, lack of moisture and insects such as grasshoppers. Root rots have also caused some damage in pulse crops.

From left, current SIGN executive director Andrew Sedley, with Clay Serby and Tom Seeley, both former executuve directors with the organization.
A look at the history of SIGN By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Society for the Involvement of Good Neighbors (SIGN) has become an integral part of the Yorkton community with a history stretching back 50-years. The organization “provides leadership, programs and services that assist, support and empower children, adults and families to achieve lifelong success, leading to strong and caring citizens and communities,” as detailed in SIGN’s Mission Statement. Leading that effort for the past 39 years have been only three executive directors; Clay Serby, Tom Seeley and Andrew Sedley. Recently, Yorkton This Week sat down with the trio to talk about SIGN and its history now that it has achieved a half
century of service in the city. Serby, who held the executive director’s position from 1980 to 1991, said he always recognized that there was potential for SIGN to grow. “I knew that it was going to grow,” he said, but added not to the extent “of the size and level of services it does today ... The size and variety that was very difficult to foresee.” As it was, Serby said SIGN was active even in his day at the helm. “It was a very busy place when I was here,” he said, then adding, “The growth since my time here, it’s phenomenal.” Seeley, who was executive director from 1995 to 2009, said the biggest change, which allowed for much of the growth came when John and Sonja Remai stepped forward with an idea. “He (John) asked, ‘Tom what
would you think if we donated this building (the former Corona Hotel on Broadway), and its contents to your organization?’” said Seeley. For 10-months Seeley, and the then Board of Directors did its “due diligence” on the offer, he said, adding there was some concern at the table the building might be more than SIGN could handle. But the organization took up the offer, and changed what could be accomplished moving forward. “Something like that wasn’t on anyone’s radar,” said Seeley. “The organization has grown considerably since then.” Sedley, the current executive director said the foresight to take on the former hotel has been important in the years since. “It’s been important, not only to SIGN, but our community,” he said.
The extra room has allowed SIGN to allow space for organizations that provide complimentary services to what they do themselves. That has been important in helping the public. Where once, they had to suggest help from other organizations across the city somewhere, today those of services are in the same building. “Instead of faxing off a referral form, now we walk people down the hallway and introduce them to other service providers,” he said. In terms of growing, SIGN has always focused on responding to community needs. “It’s always been community driven,” said Seeley, adding being local SIGN has had the ability to be responsive to changes in the Yorkton. That is as it must be, sug-
gested Serby. “It has to be a community driven thing, it was designed that way,’ he said. Serby said he recalls a time when his Board wanted to see some growth, but that he found he didn’t have to come up with ideas “they walked through the door” as the community brought its needs to SIGN to help address. In developing programs it almost comes down to providing a service to deal with a concern in the community. Sedley said that as a primary community-based organization (CBO), SIGN is well positioned to be adaptive and responsive to needs, and that has meant growth. Where Serby oversaw eight, or nine programs and an annual budget of $200,000, Seeley was looking after 19 programs Continued on Page A10

Immigration looked at for ag jobs If one were to believe social media these days, which might be folly but many seem to, immigration is an issue for many. There is a definite backlash at least in some sectors to immigration these days, although it does seem the concern is focused more on country or origin and religious background, than the broader issue of general immigration of which almost all of us owe our existence here. But, immigration remains important to this country, and in particular to the agriculture sector. Over the past several years, industries such as meat processing and mushroom production have experienced
ongoing difficulty in finding and keeping new employees, notes a recent Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) release. This is not a new thing. It was not so many years ago that Heartland Livestock in Yorkton was in the news locally for bringing in staff from Mexico to fill spots that they could not find anyone in this country to take on. Immigration remains an important avenue to filling job vacancies. The Canadian government announced last week that it is “launching a new three-year economic immigration pilot that will fill labour shortages, particularly in meat processing and

Calvin Daniels mushroom production within the agri-food sector, and help meet Canada’s ambitious export targets,” stated the release. As noted in the release, “agriculture and agri-food industry is an important contributor to Canada’s economic growth and vitality, supporting one-in-eight jobs across the country.
Agricultural exports hit a new record in 2018, reaching $66.2 billion.” So having access to staff to keep the wheels of the agriculture sector is important, and if Canadians aren’t lining up to fill job vacancies then the next generation of new Canadians is the only logical answer. “The success of our Canadian farmers
and food processors depends on their ability to recruit and retain the workforce they need to capture opportunities at home and abroad. This pilot will help to ensure that employers in the agriculture and agri-food sector have the people they need to get the job done, to help drive our economy and to feed the world,” said the Honourable MarieClaude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and AgriFood in the release. Under the pilot program employers in the agri-food sector who intend to be part of the pilot will be eligible for a two-year Labour Market Impact Assessment. A maximum of 2,750 principal applicants,
plus family members, will be accepted for processing in any given year. This represents a total of approximately 16,500 possible new permanent residents over the three-year duration of the pilot. The program is at its heart about as Canadian as it gets, attracting immigrants to move here for job opportunities and a new life, not so different from what brought our forefathers here to farm, and build a nation. It’s just another chapter in the story of immigration and agriculture that has always been intertwined. Calvin Daniels is Editor with Yorkton This Week.
Kubota Hay Day helps Terrier fundraiser By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Weather delayed things a day but Kubota Hay Day was finally held Thursday afternoon. While the day was an opportunity for people to get a hands-on look at Kubota haying equipment at work in the field, there was also another reason for the equipment rolling across the field. Logan Stevens, the local Kubota dealership, used the demonstration to cut, rake and bale hay that will be sold as a fundraiser for the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League Yorkton Terriers. Jason Popowich, general manager at Logan Stevens explained that the Terriers have 170acres of hay to harvest, about 90-acres on land provided by the City of
Yorkton, and the remainder on land owned by Vern Brown. “Last year they sold 320 bales,” said Popowich, adding that was about $20,000 in sales. “That’s a really good fundraiser.” By volunteering to do some of the field work, 90-acres this year, Popowich said the business benefits too. “Kubota staff get to come out and learn about the equipment,” he said, adding it’s a demonstration opportunity for customers as well. As a corporation Popowich said Kubota has been involved in supporting the Canadian Football League and major junior hockey, and working with the Terriers follows that trend. “It’s down to the grassroots, and giving back to the community,” said Popowich.
Logan Stevens had its line of Kubota tractors and haying eqipiment out working last Thursday as part of the company’s Hay Day, which was not just a promotional event, but was helping the Yorkton Terriers with their hay fundraiser.

Hoddenbagh takes role of college CEO By Devin Wilger Staff Writer
what we can do to make our students successful. I’m learning what are some of the opportunities moving forward.” Hoddenbagh said he wanted to join the colleges because he is passionate about education and wanted to be part of a college at the top level. He is also glad to be back in Saskatchewan. “I think colleges are somewhat underrated in Canada, I don’t think people really appreciate what we do. I thought here was a great opportunity to work with communities to help them understand what these colleges can do and what we can become.” One of his goals for the colleges is to have them more embedded within
Parkland College and Cumberland College are starting a new coalition over the next two years, with both colleges operating separately while sharing a region, President and CEO and governance structure, with the same people appointed to the boards of both colleges. The new CEO is Dr. Mark Hoddenbagh, who was appointed on July 1, and has been travelling through the region visiting campuses throughout the region. “I’ve met a lot of great people so far. The colleges are filled with people who are passionate, professional and focused on
Dr. Mark Hoddenbagh the community. “They used to be called community colleges, they took the community out, I want to put the
community back in.” Working as the President and CEO of Parkland College and Cumberland College, he said part of the challenge will be to work with two distinct cultures while finding where common ground can be found to make both institutions more efficient. “The challenge is how do you keep what’s distinctive about each institution, so that they can continue to operate in their areas in a way that resonates with people, but at the same what can you do on a common platform so that we’re more effective and efficient.” Hoddenbagh has had a varied career, working with the Canadian Research Council and
Alberta Research Council, as a chemist at a pulp mill in Meadow Lake, Sk., working on pulp and paper research with a biotechnology company, a director of applied research at Algonquin College in Ottawa, On., and as Vice President of Strategic Development at Red River College, before working as a consultant for two years. As a consultant, he worked with colleges to help improve their success rates. “One of the things I’ve been really passionate about is improving the success rate of students. If 100 students come in, with one of the institutions I worked with only 48 graduated from their college programs, that’s
just not acceptable. So I worked with them to find how they could deliver differently, and how they could help students prepare better.” After two weeks, he’s not sure what specific the vision is for the two colleges, and he’s excited to work with the different campuses and the boards to work out where they want the colleges to go. The overall goal is the success of students, and he believes that will mean growing partnerships in the communities where the colleges operate. “How can we change that equation, so we can get the right people, with the right skills, with the right jobs, here in East Central Saskatchewan?”
Drowning Prevention Week starts Sunday By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer National
Prevention Week has been proclaimed for July 21-27 by Yorkton Council at its regular meeting
Drowning
July 8. “Tragically, drowning is the number one cause of unintentional injury
deaths among children 1 – 4 years of age, and the second leading cause of preventable death for children under 10 years,” explained Paul Keys, general manager of the Gallagher Centre at the meeting. “With some 500 fatalities annually, drowning is the third leading cause of unintentional death among Canadians under 60 years of age.” Provincially the numbers are just as concern-
ing. “In Saskatchewan, an average of 18 fatal drownings occur each year plus water-related injuries,” said Keys. So the week focuses on education. National Drowning Prevention Week is one of the Society’s leading public education mediums for the prevention of drowning and other water-related injuries,” said Keys. “Our aim is
to increase awareness of the need for drowning prevention and remind people to make WaterSmart® choices while in, on and around the water.” For over 15 years, partnering organizations such as municipalities, YMCA’s, camps, etc. have participated in Drowning Prevention Week by delivering educational activities and demonstrations across the province at their locations.
said it’s not so much a case of people living on the street, but rather having two or three families living in inadequate housing. The issue is not exactly new but is more pronounced now. “It was there,” said Serby, “but certainly not as visible as it is today.” Seeley said often an issue is only addressed when money for programming come along. “Funding wasn’t on the government either,” he said. The other important element for SIGN is giving people in need in the community a safe haven to seek help, said Sedley. “One thing the organization does is help people overcome isolation,” he said, adding when things are going badly, it is easy to feel alone. People can turn to SIGN and provide a helping hand in terms of getting to the right service provider. As those needs change, Sedley said SIGN will continue to evolve to help. “First and foremost we’ll always be looking at the needs of the community, and the potential sup-
ports we could develop,” he said. That is why Seeley is involved in a new effort to look into homelessness, and what can be done to help, and effort SIGN is part of too. He said SIGN has always tried “to be part of working on the solutions.” Yorkton has long had a reputation of working together, said Sedley. “It’s just the way we’ve always done things. The relationships are there.” That is why SIGN works, said Seeley. “It’s a reflection of the community,” he said. “In a big way,” added Serby. The reflective nature of SIGN will continue too. “There will be an outstanding future for SIGN going forward,” said Serby. Seeley agreed adding that is assured because the staff “are passionate about the programs that they deliver.” “It’s just having a finger on the pulse of the community,” said Sedley, “being the go-to for different needs seen in the community.”

Continued from Page A8 by his term’s end, with a budget of $3.5 million. Today, Sedley oversees a budget of $6 million and 24 different programs. And, programming continues to evolve. Sedley noted SIGN now provides drop-in mental health services, being one of five pilot projects for the program across the province, indicative of the organization’s ability to respond to change and needs. The need for additional focus on mental health is something that has been somewhat overdue, admitted the trio. Sedley said bringing the issue the forefront is a huge step in itself. “As a community we’re talking about mental health at least,” he said. Serby said that is a key, suggesting that there is greater awareness of mental health issues today than 20-years ago, and a greater willingness for people to seek out help. Another issue coming to greater attention now is homelessness. Seeley

‘Mayday’: Search/rescue drill in Yorkton By Cory Carlick Staff Writer It’s at 4,500 feet -- nearly a kilometre and a half above the ground, hidden in the mask of serenity concealed by azure skies -- that in the svelte Piper shows signs of trouble. The aircraft starts sputtering intermittently. The engine appears to be heading toward full failure. Wasting no time, the pilot realizes he has little choice. The experienced airman climbs from 4,500 ft to approximately 6,000 ft. Maybe, just maybe, the extra altitude will buy a little more time. The little plane climbs higher, its flickering engine pushing mightily against the clock. If I can just get a little higher. The plane levels off at just over 6 000 ft. There is a sickening thunk. The engine goes dead. There is no time to lose. He clicks Comm 2 over to 121.5 MHz, the channel reserved for emergencies. “Mayday, mayday, mayday. Engine failure, 6 000 ft.” The Piper PA-28 Cherokee Arrow is a single engine prop aircraft, hurtling through the sky nearly two kilometres above the ground and losing altitude fast. The P.I.C. (Pilot-In -Command) is none other than Yorkton MLA Greg Ottenbreit, who makes it abundantly clear to 435 Squadron that a crash landing is inevitable. He will need assistance from Search and Rescue, as it is a matter of life and death. Of course, this isn’t a real crash. It is a drill, executed, on average, approximately every six months. While the emergency scenario itself is simulated, the actual procedure is not. The planes are real, in the air. One, Ottenbreit’s Arrow; the other, a massive air fortress thundering through the sky, courtesy of the Royal Canadian Air Force’s elite 435 Squadron. A voice crackles over the radio. It is Captain Gayle Beaudouin of the RCAF. Her tone is clipped and determined. She means business. “How many souls do you have on board? Age and background.” Ottenbreit radios back. “Two souls. One pilot one passenger.” “How is your fuel level?” “Fuel level is OK. I’ve got enough for about 4 or 5 hours airborne, but I’ve got complete engine failure. I don’t know if I can make it back.” We have now been intercepted by the military. At this juncture, we begin a descent pattern over Melville, our crash site. In a short time, two SARTECHs --- parachute jumpers --- will jump out from a Hercules CC-130, in a freefall, at an altitude of several hundred feet over the beautiful Saskatchewan skies, before pulling the cord to launch the chute. The point of this exercise is simple: to keep rescue crews sharp in the middle of a real emergency. As with many
The CC-130 Hercules, piloted by Cpt. Gayle Beaudouin of the RCAF 435 Squadron. things in life, simple and easy are hardly synonyms. Ottenbreit, a veteran commercial pilot with well in excess of 1200 flight hours to his credit, shares the cockpit with a second soul. The second pilot, on the passenger side, is a student pilot; one with far fewer flight hours, hasn’t flown in several years, and only recently got his CAT3 medical (required for all private pilots by Transport Canada) to get back in the air. That pilot is a passenger today, who also happens to be this reporter. It’s a beautiful day for a crash, in all honesty. The sun is shining; the skies a stunning azure. Cerulean blue goes on for miles, complimented by the warm, golden hues of the blazing daylight. Its glint playfully dances across the gleaming aircraft’s wings. The slogan ‘Land of the living skies’, duly inscribed on everyone’s license plate, is certainly at play here. The operative word, though, is ‘living’. The procedure is as follows: we take off from Yorkton Regional Airport, and are ‘found’ near Candiac. We then simulate engine failure, and after being intercepted by the air force, jettison around Melville, which serves as our crash site. The PA-28 lands -that’s our crash -- and we wait. Two search and res-
Pilot-In-Command (PIC) MLA Greg Ottenbreit, with Cory Carlick (left). cue personnel, with radios, make notes of the proceedings. As we are technically “stranded”, we need to wait for supplies and then help from the RCAF. This comes in three stages: locating the crash victims (us), as well as getting us any necessary food and supplies to keep us going until we are found. Stage one comes soon enough. The giant CC-130 hovers through the sky, scanning like a giant sentinel from the heavens. Even a few hundred feet away, the steady hum of the Hercules’ massive props permeate the air. The Herc, as it is affectionately known by pilots, military and aviation buffs alike, is one of the most impressive air-
craft in existence -- both by its service record and toughness. Built in 1954 by Lockheed (now Lockheed Martin), the turboprop -powered aircraft was conceived from the getgo as a transport to get people and supplies in and out - of remote areas quickly. Unlike conventional aircraft, the plane doesn’t really need a runway. If necessary, it can take off in the desert in sand, dirt, and whatever awful conditions you can throw at it. It’s able to take off or land with very short notice and doesn’t need very much ground to generate enough lift to take off. This makes it ideal for search and rescue missions, because if you have crash landed in -40 in a
RCAF SARTECH MCpl. Louis Labrecque wraps up the landing markers.
Saskatchewan winter, chances are there isn’t a runway around to save you. Fortunately, for the CC-130, it doesn’t need one. It also has a huge bay, one that momentarily, two SARTECHs will jump out of, quite literally, to come and save us. To do that, though, they have to find us first. Unsurprisingly, the RCAF is way ahead of us. They have just the system set up to find us. The enormous hatch opens like something out of a James Cameron movie. The wind whips around the open maw of the Herc’s belly for its next heroic step. 435 Squadron then fires two large markers from the hatch, which floats out of the giant military plane. These markers are for the SARTECHs, the RCAF’s elite, crack team of heroic parachuters. They wait for the markers, a bright neon red and white, to drift to the ground to provide a visual indicator of the landing site. Then, they jump out of the hatch of the moving plane and, with remarkable accuracy, angle their way toward the markers, which were dropped as close to the last known coordinates of our squawk (radio transmission) as possible. Then, the SARTECHs look for us. Smaller parachutes containing rations and supplies are dropped with unbelievable accur-
acy -- the food drifts toward us and lands only 30 metres away. To give you an idea of just how good the Royal Canadian Air Force 435 Squadron is, remember that they have dropped a package -- over 400 feet above us -- and managed to land it only 30 metres away from our feet. Now, if 435 Squadron can lob a box from a distance a good third of the height of the CN tower that close to you, just imagine what it would be like to try playing baseball with them. (A score of 789-0 at the bottom of the ninth for you, probably.) It’s a team effort. SARTECHs Master Corporal Reagan Kruger and MCpl. Louis Labrecque are two of the brave SARTECHs that jump out of a moving plane to save people in any conditions. In order to jump, though, you need a tough, fearless pilot. Well, they’ve got that, too. Captain Gayle Beaudouin is the skilled pilot in charge of the gigantic CC-130 Hercules. With seemingly no effort, the veteran Winnipeger has no problems hovering the Herc as low as a few hundred feet or more. Beaudouin, who bears a striking resemblance (both visually and in personality) to Gwyneth Paltrow’s Pepper Potts from Ironman, has an acerbic wit that crackles over the radio. Her instructions are timely, but humour can provide important levity in any emergency situation a prop jockey might find themselves in. We’re found, so all is well. We take off and fly back to Yorkton. 435 Squadron has been at this a long time. In fact, they are legendary. The unit was actually formed in Gujrat, India, in 1944, to perform airlift missions in the ChinaBurma-India theatre. It also is equipped to provide in-air refuelling of fighter aircraft, and is the only unit capable of doing it. So when you see a CF-18 try and navigate to that little cone in the air, that’s 435 Squadron providing the floating gas station in the sky. The search and rescue team work fast - they’re able to respond within 30 minutes of receiving a distress call. Its motto? Certi Provehendi, which in English translates to ‘Determined to Deliver’. After a mission well done, the next delivery was all of us to Brown’s Social House. So, the next time you see one of our Canadian Forces, give them your thanks. They’d literally jump out of an airplane to save your life, and afterward...probably tell you that its all in a day’s work.

Taking drives to look at gardens Make a note and plan to attend 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! On these lovely summer days, do you ever take a walk or a drive specifically for looking at yards as you go by? Make it a goal for yourself to drive down a street that you rarely visit, and take the time to notice the interesting flowerbeds or containers that might be along the way. You might see a garden feature you would like to try! Speaking of that, make a cup of tea with me and let’s escape to an island! A garden island, that is! I just love the look of garden islands: a “flowerbed” that has gone glamorous! Some are planted with perennials, some with annuals mixed in, some with interesting trees or shrubs. But whatever they contain, they are always interesting. Garden islands can be any size or shape, but while I was reading about them, an important point to consider right at the beginning is to be sure the island is not too small. The plants that will be included shouldn’t be crowded. Now, about the shape: we
DEBBIE HAYWARD
YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
Gardener’s Notebook might create a shape to accommodate something that is already in our yard, like a tree, making a circle or kidney-shape around this feature. Or perhaps we might like the formal look of square or rectangular islands. I can picture this looking very modern: a rectangular island with tall grasses and color smaller shrubs, like a barberry or potentilla. Once we have determined the shape of the island, we need to dig it well, and amend the soil if needed. Then comes the fun part: planning the plants! We must be aware that our island will be viewed from all sides, and this has to be considered when we’re planting. The tallest plants should be in the “centre”, and then we work down from there. For example, if we had a nice kidney-shaped island, we wouldn’t plant Karl Foerster right at the edge, and a mound of creeping jenny in the middle. We must try to “work down” from the tallest to the shortest, drawing our eyes over the entire island. We can decide whether we want to use mostly perennials, and then add in some annuals for color. Plantings are
more effective visually if like plants are planted in drifts or clumps. We shouldn’t plant things in equidistant rows unless we are going for that formal look. Every gardener has different preferences! We might also want to incorporate a small tree or a variety of shrubs. But a word of caution here: time goes by very quickly, and that fuzzy little spruce that looks so cute now will one day be a mighty tree, dwarfing everything around it. And that small juniper can very quickly become a wave that takes over like a tsunami. I mention this plant specifically because it really takes off, and is extremely difficult to chop out when the time inevitably comes. So choose with care! Once we’ve planted our island, the finishing touch would be bark mulch for a natural and effective way to retain moisture and control weeds. Add in a birdbath or a dramatic chunk of driftwood or perhaps one or two large rocks, and we’ve got a beautiful garden island! Visit us at www.yorktonhort.ca, and have a great week! Be sure to wear a hat!
The most effective anti-smoking effort While I’ve never been a smoker, I can think of something specific when I think about why I don’t smoke. It was a car, a red Chevrolet Beretta, which was owned by a friend in high school. The car’s previous owner was a heavy smoker. And even though my friend did not smoke, his car still bore the scars of being a smoker’s vehicle. He likely got a discount because the thing just reeked of stale cigarette smoke. Every surface had a coating of yellow over it. It was disgusting. I remember having a visceral reaction to having to touch the stereo to change the volume. The idea that the interior of that car could potentially be replicated inside your body was an image so revolting that it scrubbed away any desire to smoke. I think of that car whenever I read about a new anti-smoking effort, because pretty much everything has been attempted. The latest frontier is digital. The FDA in the US is sponsoring a new horror game called “One Leaves,” where one of four players will succeed in their effort to beat the game, based on the idea that three of four teen smokers continue on into adulthood. It’s an interesting idea, though I don’t
DEVIN WILGER
Thinking I do with words... know how effective it will be in curbing smoking. As a teenager, I didn’t find any actual coordinated anti-smoking efforts all that effective. I found the ads laughably heavy-handed, I found that attempts to scrub smoking from entertainment and sports sponsorship mostly ineffective, and the only effect I observed from the more graphic cigarette ads were some smokers I knew asking for a carton of Low Birth Weights at the store. But that car was extremely effective. Why don’t they learn from that? Every antitobacco campaign can just take a car owned by a chain smoker and tour it to schools. Have a presenter point out the burns in the seat, the horrible aroma that the car lets off, the thick sheen of tar that crept into every surface. Every time I see someone smoking in a car I automatically judge
the person inside because my mind flashes back to that Beretta. Don’t they know they could be turning their car into that Beretta? The fools! But they haven’t seen that Beretta. Honestly I doubt that car still exists, because apart from the complete disaster of the interior, it was a Beretta owned by a high school student 15 years ago. The chances it still lives are thin to none. Besides, there were many attempts to clean that car up, even if nothing was particularly effective. I feel sorry for the people who are charged with convincing people to stop smoking. Nobody actually wants to listen to them, and their message tends to fall upon deaf ears until it’s too late. But on the other hand, if every teenager saw a car like that Beretta up close, I don’t think anyone would smoke. It still stops me from smoking.

The truth about truth and buffalo I don’t know much about buffalo, but they make me snicker. At the front end they’re all bravado: massive shoulders, barrel chest and beady eyes. But turn them around and their hindquarters are only slightly larger than my own, with a wannabe lion’s tail tacked on. God smiled, creating buffalo, I suspect. A buffalo herd ranged just west of the town where I used to work. Sometimes, when I saw them grazing close to the highway, I stopped the car and walked to the wire fence to take photos. “I wouldn’t do that, if I were you,� our daughter said one day. “They stampede!� A friend of a friend, she said, was travelling a rural road near her home one day, and noticed a cloud of dust up ahead. A grader, she suspected. The grader would have been preferable. Dead ahead, getting closer by the second, charged a herd of stampeding buffalo. Shoulder to shoulder, ditch to ditch, tails up. And they didn’t look inclined to yield. It’s not a position a girl finds herself in every day. Buffalo Control 101 wasn’t an elective at university that year, I imagine, but I’m sure it didn’t take long to realize that getting out and holding up her hand was probably not her best option. So she did what came more naturally — slammed on the brakes, switched off the ignition and dove for cover in the only place there was any — under the steering

Sun’s out! The third time was the charm for the Yorkton Wildlife Federation Trap and Skeet Club’s Sun’s Out Gun’s Out event. A sunny Saturday meant the event could go ahead, and shooters gathered to shoot clay, take on the new 3D archery course, and get a chance at prizes. Pictured, the Annie Oakley elimination shoot, with the prize of a gun safe up for grabs. Regular shooting at the club takes place Tuesday evenings starting at 5:00 p.m. Staff Photo by Devin Wilger
Local football girls at Red River Cup By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Red River Cup is ongoing in Winnipeg and that means a number of local football players are suiting up for some football action.
Nine players among the 40 players selected to make-up two Saskatchewan teams for the Red River Cup are from Yorkton. The nine players are; offensive line Alyssa Sander, Shay-Lynn
Pelletier, and Katelynne Hoffman, Austen Dubreuil, quarterback, Brooke Hannotte, running back, Camryn Dubreuil and Katelyn Dixon-Appelton on the defensive line Caelan MacLean, linebacker,

and Makayla Pelletier, defensive back, and their coaches will need to adapt on the run. Local coaches involved include Chris Sander, Daryl Zimmer, Jeff Hannotte, and Tyrell MacLean. The teams are playing a series of ‘mini-games’ concluding today, with the results setting the seeding for the gold and bronze medal games scheduled for July 17. Coach MacLean said the event is definitely a step up in terms of overall talent on the field. “The competition is better. We picked the top40 players at our camp, and they (Manitoba) picking their top-40, so there’s better players here definitely,” he said. But, beyond the jump in skill level, the biggest difference is playing sixaside football. “I think that’s our biggest adjustment,” said
MacLean. “None of the girls have played that. None of the coaches have coached that.” MacLean said while team ‘white’ had a few jitters in their first game, both they and team ‘green’ have settled in and are playing well in the tournament for U18 players. As it stood Monday morning, MacLean was confident a Saskatchewan team would be in the final Wednesday. “One of our teams is going to be there I’m sure. I’m very confident in that, unless the wheels really fall off today,” he said in a telephone interview from Winnipeg. While there are medals to be won, there is more to the tournament than winning. MacLean said players are developing bonds and making memories that will last. He said he
can see players from different towns starting to make friendships. “I think that’s important,” he said. And there has been time for some fun too. Both Saskatchewan teams and their Manitoba counterparts attended the Winnipeg Blue Bombers game Friday, getting to scrimmage on the field in front of the Canadian Football League crowd. “Even for myself and the other coaches it was a little exciting and I was a little bit nervous about it,” said MacLean. The local girls made the Saskatchewan teams at a camp in Melville, where the majority of the players were from the region, Melville, Moosomin and Yorkton, but players from Regina, Saskatoon and Tisdale were also selected, said MacLean.
The Yorkton U11 “AA” Cardinals played in a one day tournament on Saturday in Wadena. The Cardinals played Lanigan, Wadena and La Ronge in the round robin play and ended up meeting with Wadena again in
the final. Yorkton’s bats came alive and they beat Wadena to win the tournament with a score in the final of 12-5. The Yorkton U11 “AA” Cardinals are hosting the U11 “AA” provincial championships this com-
ing weekend in Yorkton. They play their first game on Friday, July 19 at 1:45 p.m. Opening Ceremonies follow at 4:30 p.m. All games and activities will take place at Jaycee Beach.

Cards mine one win from busy week By Devin Wilger & Calvin Daniels Staff Writers Sandwiched into another week of losses, the Yorkton Cardinals did find a rare win in Western Canadian Baseball League action this week. However, in action Sunday, the Cardinals ran out of gas at the worst time, just before encountering the Regina Red Sox, one of the top teams in the WCBL. The Red Sox were all over the board from the beginning, starting with three runs in the third. They continued the streak in the fourth, with another three runs, followed by the Cardinals getting a run of their own. Regina scored another two in the fifth. The eighth saw another three runs came for Regina in the eighth, while in the ninth Regina put an end to any hope the Cardinals might have had for a comeback, scoring six runs. In the end, the Regina Red Sox took the win with a final score of 17-1. Austin Alarid got the win for Regina, while Phil Whelan was tagged with the loss. Coach Robbie Dombrowski said that the problem for the Cardinals was simple, they ran out of pitching, and at the worst time. After seven games in five days, the pitching staff was worn out. “That tends to happen when you’ve got a 56 game schedule in a 60 day season.” Still, even if it ended on a down note, the weekend had some positives, especially on Saturday, where the Cardinals were able to get the best of the Moose Jaw Miller Express. Dombrowski said it was the pitching of Hut Smith that defined the game. Smith played the full game, and while Dombrowski wanted to pull him in the eighth, Smith knew he was hot and didn’t want to stop. “That’s the kind of competitors we have. Hut’s not the only one who has that mentality, where if he has a chance to win the game he wants to win. I admire him for his effort yesterday, it was unbelievable. Really, all around, we played good defense around him and got some timely hits, and it was just a good game for us for sure. It was a culmination of our efforts even when we weren’t winning.” While the season hasn’t gone the way they wanted, Dombrowski is proud of the team for still coming out with the desire to win. “It’s not easy to come out when you look at the standings and you’re three and whatever, but I’m really proud of the people we have here right now… We’ve got 16 guys right now who want to be here and want to compete and no matter what happened the day before they want to come back and play hard.”
Matthew Korman slides into second against Regina. ting in Shawn Munro and Grant Kosanke. The game was scoreless until the ninth, when Moose Jaw put their lone run on the board, an unearned run from Cole Warken. And after that, it was a wrap, with the Cardinals taking the win with a final score of 3-1.
Doubleheader Friday
On Friday it showed again that the Cardinals can’t seem to catch a break this season. In a double-header against the Moose Jaw Miller Express July 12, at Jubilee Park, the Cardinals came close, but weren’t able to beat the visiting team.
The day started well for the Cardinals, who were the first team on the board with three runs in the first. But it was the fourth inning that saw Moose Jaw come back, with six runs total. The next inning saw another pair of Moose Jaw runs. While Yorkton responded in the seventh with another run, the game was over, and Moose Jaw took the contest 8-4. Michael Borst was tagged with the win for Moose Jaw, while Payton Harris had the loss for Yorkton. The second game of the day saw the Miller Express hit the board first
with a run in the second, followed by a matching run in the third. The fifth saw Moose Jaw go up by three, but Yorkton quickly responded with a run of their own. The sixth was much the same, with both teams getting a spot on the board. In the seventh, Yorkton pulled to within one, resulting in the final score of 4-3 for Moose Jaw. Jeff Nicolosi got the win for Moose Jaw, while Jake Anderson was tagged with the loss for the home team.
Thursday game slips away
Yorkton jumped out to an early lead Thursday at
Jubilee Park, but could not hold Regina in check. The Cardinals started the game with a run in the first, then added four in second to take a 5-0 lead. But the Red Sox pitching would hold the Cardinal bats in check the rest of the way, while the Sox bats feasted. Regina took the lead in the third inning scoring six runs, then added seven in the fifth, one in the sixth, another in the eighth, and three more in the ninth for an 18-3 win. It was the Red Sox 22nd win of the season, compared to the Cardinals 28th loss. Baylor Gianinni was the winning pitcher for the Red Sox. He was the second Regina pitcher into the game, tossing two innings of relief, and allowing only one hit, and no runs. Trenton Lee took the loss for Yorkton. He started and went five innings, allowing 11 hits, and 13 runs, nine of those earned. David and Goliath, but Goliath won. As you might expect when a first place team takes on a last place one, the first place team is
likely to win. That was the scenario last Wednesday, as the Yorkton Cardinals, last in the Western Canadian Baseball League east visited first place Weyburn, and not overly surprising the Beavers would win 11-2. It would be the 22nd win for Weyburn and the 27th loss for the Cardinals. Weyburn took the lead scoring six in the second inning, then added three in the fourth, and two in the sixth to lead 11-0. Yorkton finally got on the board with two in the seventh for the 11-2 final. Marcus Catalano led the Beaver offence with three hits and three runsbatted-in. Chase Stratton was the winning pitcher for Weyburn. He went seven innings as the starter, allowing one hit, two runs, both earned, walking three and striking out 11. Andrew Magness took the loss on the mound for Yorkton. He started and went four innings, allowing none hits, and nine runs, seven of those earned, while walking five.

This time, the game was all Yorkton, with the first run coming in the bottom of the second, with Zachary Taylor getting a run off the bat of Tanner Huber. They pushed their lead to three in the next inning, with Zachary Taylor bat-

He was predeceased by his mother Anna in 1987, father Steve in 1994 and sister Olga in infancy. Norman was born and raised in Wroxton, SK. Following his early education he was employed at the Yorkton Auxiliary and General Hospitals as an orderly driver then as an X-ray technician. In his pursuit of a rewarding career, he chose the civil aviation branch of the Federal Department of Transport. Once acquiring his Second Class Radio Certificate at Manitoba Institute of Technology in 1956, he was posted at Dafoe, SK. Gaining experience here, in air navigation, flight planning, weather observation and servicing electronic equipment, he was posted to Baker Lake, NWT then Churchill, MB.

HOLFELD - It is with great sadness, but with thanks for a life well lived that we announce the passing away of Randy on July 6, 2019, surrounded by his family at the Yorkton Regional Hospital. Randolph Charles Holfeld was born March 3, 1936 in Calgary, AB, to Karl and Charlotte Holfeld and shortly after moved with his family to Regina, SK. The son of a Lutheran minister and one of four boys, his early years were dominated by church life and learning the values of hard work, discipline, and service to the community. Randy graduated from Luther College in Regina and went on to study engineering at the University of Saskatchewan. He subsequently attended the University of Manitoba in the school of architecture. Ever the perfectionist, Randy determined that engineering was the field which he could contribute in the manner he wished. He returned to the U of S and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering in 1963. It was one of the best decisions he made as it was during this time he met Dianne Dean and they became partners for life and were married in 1963. Upon graduating Randy started working with B.B. Torchinsky and Associates, an engineering consulting firm. In 1964 Randy and Dianne moved to Yorkton where he accepted the job of assistant city engineer. In 1965 he became Yorkton’s city engineer. In 1971, with four children under the age of 6, they moved to Lethbridge, AB for Randy to accept the position of Engineer Director and became City Manager in 1975. In 1981 he took a leap of faith, leaving municipal engineering, and entered the world of small business as a partner in Logan Stevens Construction, a general contractor in Yorkton. Outside of his career Randy had many artistic endeavours and his love of building and creativity came through in his stained glass works, wood carving, pottery, painting, and set design for Yorkton community theatre. Music was always an important part of Randy’s life, and although not musically gifted himself, his love of music was pervasive and has been passed down to all his children. Randy’s belief was that one got out of the community what they put into it, and upon his retirement at age 65 he maintained his lifestyle of hard work and service by volunteering as board member and chair for many local organizations, including the Yorkton Parks and Recreation Council, the Yorkton Arts Council, Habitat for Humanity, the Yorkton Airport Authority, and the Crystal Lake Hamlet board. His unique skill set of engineering and design, artistic creativity, and business acumen enabled him to contribute to these organizations in many different ways. Crystal Lake became a special place for Randy and Dianne, and their summers were spent at their cabin where they were able to enjoy lake life and its outdoor activities, but more importantly the happy hours and socializing with their large group of friends. When Randy made a friend, it was a friend for life, and he cherished the many activities they enjoyed together, from his annual fishing trip of over 40 years to the weekly pottery group. The family would especially like to thank all these friends for the support and care they have shown to them and to Randy as he battled dementia and most recently cancer. Randy was predeceased by his parents and his brothers Harold and Trevor Holfeld. He will be remembered by his wife of 56 years Dianne of Yorkton, SK, his son Greg, wife Louise and grandchildren Franklin and Hugh of Adelaide, Australia, daughter Lee of Fort MacLeod, AB, son Tom, wife Leslie and grandchildren Christine and Sean of Saskatoon, SK, son Kurt (partner J.C.) of Montreal, QC and brother Karl Jr. and wife Eileen of Squim, Washington, and numerous nieces and nephews. Interment took place in the Yorkton City Cemetery. The funeral service was held on Wednesday, July 10, 2019 from St. Andrew’s United Church in Yorkton with Crystal Bailey, BTh officiating. Words of remembrance were given by Willie Mark, son Greg, and grandson Sean. Pattee Flett read scripture. Hymns were ‘Praise My Soul the God of Heaven’, ‘Jesus, You Have Come to the Lakeshore’, ‘Give to us Laughter’, ‘As We Go Now’, and ‘A Mighty Fortress is our God’. A quartet of Tim Linsley, Murray Stewart, Martin Phillips & Jesse Baron sang ‘Shine on Us’. Son Kurt played a piano solo - ‘Misty’. Member of Yorkton Community Choir and St. Andrew’s United Church choir sang ‘Thy Will Be Done’. Memorials were to the Alzheimers Society, St. Andrew’s United Church Memorial Fund, or to Habitat for Humanity. Condolences can be left at baileysfuneralhome.com.

WEBB - Virginia Laverne Webb. Nov., 1927 to July 1, 2019. Our mother was born in Ladysmith, B.C. to Anna and Alfred Dady. She was a sister to Arthur, Norma, Bethia, Ruth and Gerald. Her childhood home was filled with love, laughter, respect, honesty, integrity and faith. Those principles would guide our mother throughout her life. She loved sports (particularly badminton), music and laughter. Virginia’s badminton skills culminated in the winning of provincial trophies in both singles and doubles. Virginia married Keith Stevens in 1946 and together they had four children – Geoffrey, Dolores, Anna and Myrna. After our Dad worked in logging and ran a construction company, our family moved to Saskatchewan where our Dad formed another construction company. Mom was always active in the company, doing design work and physical labour on top of being a full-time wife and mother. Our father died in a plane crash on Father’s Day 1967 and the crash site wasn’t discovered for 16 months. That time period involved the greatest challenge of Virginia’s life. She became the sole provider for the family, working at a TV station using her English skills as a copywriter and then copy editor. Her creativity in advertising resulted in her winning numerous awards. Virginia married Raymond (Bud) Webb in 1978. Bud was a widower, a former RCMP officer and construction company owner. Bud had 3 children – Cindy, David and Susan. After a short time Virginia and Bud moved to Victoria where, with the help of family friends, they started their own furniture business. The business enabled Virginia to utilize her business skills and more importantly her natural sales abilities. After 10 successful years Virginia and Bud sold the business and retired. In retirement Virginia and Bud travelled extensively, enjoyed summers at their Ladysmith cottage and watched their blended family grow to 13 grandchildren and 14 greatgrandchildren (with more to come). Bud died in 2009. He is greatly missed by all of us. Mom, now a widow for the second time, carried on with her life-long devotion to her Church, family, extended family and many dear friends. For many years Virginia was a member of P.E.O., an organization that provides University scholarships for young women. As her health began to fail significantly, Virginia bravely decided to go to sleep on her own terms. Our mom went to sleep and beyond on July 1. A celebration of Virginia’s life will be held at Cordova Bay United Church, 813 Claremont Ave., Victoria on August 17 at 2:00 pm. KELLER - Louis Joseph Keller was born on October 25, 1924 on the family farm ten miles north east of Goodeve, SK. He was the tenth child of John and Mary (nee Rever) Keller. The winters were cold and a lot of snow but he walked three and a half miles to Bernadine School where he received his education and helped his parents on the farm. He then worked at Abernethy and Lemberg. In 1945 Louis, with some of his friends, went to work in a bush camp in Ontario for two winters. In 1951 he purchased his first tractor, a 1950 I.H. W4, to help out with the farm work. On March 5, 1955 Louis took over the homestead. On July 22, 1966 Louis was united in marriage to Rosemarie Martel from Ituna, SK. Louis and Rosemarie remained on the farm and were blessed with one son and two daughters. In 1972 they purchased a new home due to the cold winters and continued to grain farm and raise livestock. In 1997 they quit farming and on June 22, 1998 had an auction sale and moved their home from the farm to Melville. Louis now had some spare time so he decided to help his son John deliver papers to different place in surrounding area. In his younger years he enjoyed trapping. When Louis got older he enjoyed dancing and this continued even when they moved into Melville. While attending dances they met a lot of people. Playing cards, telling jokes, farming and livestock was his pride and joy but most of all his family meant the world to him. He enjoyed telling stories to his grandchildren about the years when he was growing up. He was very devoted and an active member of St. Henry’s Church. Louis entered his eternal rest on Thursday, July 11, 2019 at St. Peter’s Hospital at the age of 94 years. Predeceased by his parents John and Mary; six brothers, Walter, Mike, Joe, Burton, Stanley and John; four sisters, Vera, Nellie, Victoria and Helen. He leaves to cherish his memory, his wife Rosemarie, his son John (Sharon); daughter Anna Marie (Greg) Bobryk and daughter, Louise; grandchildren, Christopher, Travis, Desiree (Tomas Mosiuk) and their son Dominic, Tyson, Tiffany, Mark, Amy and James; sister, Mary Novakoski, of Ontario and sister-in-law, Jane Keller, of Yorkton, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

KOTZER - Agnes Lucille Kotzer, always known as “Lucille”, passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 14, 2019 at the age of 91 years. Lucille was predeceased by her husband Stanley Wood, her sister and brother-in-law Ruth and Dick Partridge and brothers and sistersin-law Ronald and Connie Harris and George and Marlene Harris and also all of Stanley’s siblings and their spouses, Elsie (Henry) Laban, Ethel (Frank) Blommaert, Harvey (Dorothy), Harold (Kay), Shelby (Fred) Leach, Ivy (Hank Gwynn) and Sally (Daryl) Muir. Lucille is survived by her four children: Brenda McKaque (Ross), Barbara Chapman (Lorne), Kenneth Wood (Nancy) and Karen Ransome (Wray), as well as two brothers Keith Harris (Jean) and Stewart Harris (Joan). She also leaves behind grandchildren, Scott Chapman (Erin), Mark Chapman (Kim), Sarah Wood and Telford Ransome (Stacey), plus greatgrandchildren Danielle and Dane Chapman, Sam and Mya Chapman, Sterling and Bronwyn Ransome and Jessica Hubenig, former husband Ken Kotzer and numerous nieces, nephews and extended family. Lucille lived her entire life in the Yorkton area. She was born January 22, 1928 and lived her early years on a dairy farm near Yorkton, and after marrying Stanley Wood in 1948 they moved into a small house on Argyle Street in Yorkton. In 1958, the family moved to a larger home on Logan Crescent West in Yorkton, where Lucille lived until 2014. Lucille’s final years were spent in the Yorkton District Nursing Home. Lucille was always active. When her children were young, she and her family were a foster family to several newborn babies. Although the entire family loved looking after the babies, they had to give this up when a set of twins, Patrick and Patricia, spent several months with them. When the twins were returned to their birth family, the entire Wood clan was so upset to see them leave that the decision was made to give up being a foster family. Lucille then moved from looking after the babies to making baby formula at the Yorkton Union Hospital, and later to being a ward clerk at the hospital. After she retired from the hospital, she delved deeper into hobbies she had already developed: sewing, baking, cribbage, playing golf, curling and, for over 30 years, participating in aqua sizing at the Gallagher Centre in Yorkton. Lucille had many friends, and she was always very loyal to them. The family would like to thank the staff at the Yorkton District Nursing Home for the excellent care she received while she lived there. In lieu of flowers, donations in Lucille’s memory may be made to the Yorkton SPCA, 79 7th Ave South, Yorkton, SK S3N 3V1, or to a charity of choice. A family graveside service was held with the family at the Yorkton City Cemetery. Friends and relatives are invited to a celebration of her life Monday, July 22, 2019 at 11:00 am in the chapel at Christie’s Funeral Home with a reception to follow.

Home run derby a Blue Jays highlight
For the most part I avoid watching allstar games. They have no meaning in terms of standings, are always populated with players that seem questionable based on current stats, and are played without the emotion that fires good sports entertainment. So when the baseball all-star game break hit Major League Baseball I was happily tuning it out. But Monday evening as I was writing stories out of the regular meeting of Yorkton Council, the better half put the home run derby on the TV. The derby is again not something I gravitate toward. It is an exhibition of power, but with lobbed pitchers, and players I don’t generally follow so it has never really caught my attention. However, this year Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
was involved, and when his turn came up at the derby my typing slowed, and I watched as he hit them out over and over until he established a new record at 29. From that point I was hooked. Guerrero’s presence and his prowess made this year’s home run derby highly compelling television. As has been pointed out by more than one analyst since, it was both a coming out party for the future Jays star, and while not exactly on the field it will be the highlight of the 2019 season for Toronto fans. Sticking with baseball, there is an experiment taking place in the Atlantic League right now, one where a player can ‘steal first base.’ Basically the rule being tried allows a runner to try to advance to first base on any ball that gets away from the catcher, no

might not be the best option. That might tilt the table to help the batter, and some more singles would be a good thing. The Toronto Raptor championship appears to be having the ripple effect many thought could happen. There is apparently a group in TO about to apply for an expansion team in the WNBA. The pro women’s league has been suggesting it needs to solidify its current roster of 12 teams before expansion is on the table, but with the Raptor buzz
matter the count – similar to the long-existing dropped third strike rule. So-called purists might hate the idea, but anything that adds a touch of excitement to a game that is increasingly pitching changes and .200 hitters, is a good thing in my book. That said I suspect runners advance far less than might be expected. What the rule might do is change pitcher’s approaches at times where a ball in the dirt against a speedy batter
it might be the ideal time to add the Canadian market. The TO backers have said as early as 2020, but that might be pushing things. However they are already tossing around team names such as Huskies and Towers, so we will see how the bid goes. Professional women’s sports have always had challenges catching attention; golf and tennis being somewhat outliers to that although they still play for less in terms of prizes than men. That discrepancy has certainly been brought into focus by the American women’s soccer team that just won the World Cup. They receive far less in funding than the men’s side. On the surface that is ridiculously unfair, but there is a flip side to the situation in that women’s sports don’t usually attract the
same fan numbers, or television ratings either. Finding some reasonable balance is certainly needed although equal pay can probably only be achieved if woman’s sports can grow their fan base significantly. In my case I am quite satisfied watched the Canadian Wild of Southern Illinois play in National Pro Fat Pitch, and women’s rugby is very good whether it’s 7s or 15s, so women’s sports can be entertaining, although that statement may not extend across all sports, or for all viewers. The task for women’s sports is to gain more eyes watching.
