Coffee chatter

Yorkton Mayor Bob Maloney and all six members of Council were at Dairy Queen in Yorkton Thursday afternoon having a coffee and welcoming comments and questions from members of the community. A similar event was held in

the spring at the old land titles building at the Godfrey Dean Cultural Centre.

Like its predecessor few people came forward but the opportunity to meet with Council was the key element of the event.

Ottenbreit inherits new portfolio

By Cory Carlick Staff Writer Yorkton MLA Greg Ottenbreit inherits a new portfolio. The longtime Minister of Rural and Remote Health will now oversee the Ministry of Highways, as well as the Water Security

Agency.

“I’m looking forward to new challenges,” Ottenbreit said in an interview.

He says he is going to miss being the Minister of Rural and Remote Health.

“I think we accomplished a lot.

“The new children’s hospital in

Saskatoon is something we’re particularly proud of, as well as expanding the STARS ambulance program, to name a few.”

The Jim Pattison Children’s hospital in Saskatoon is scheduled to open this Fall.

“It’s been the culmination of many

years of work and is a state-of-the-art facility,” Ottenbreit said.

“We’ve been able to make, I think, a lot of positive changes and although I’m going to miss a lot of it, I’m looking forward to the new challenges of this portfolio.”

City approves 2018 Financial Statements

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The 2018 Draft Financial Statements for the City of Yorkton were presented to the regular meeting of Council Monday.

Council would unanimously support a motion to authorize the Director of Finance to sign the representation letter to the auditors; and further that the final 2018 Financial Statements be created and hereby approved.

Baker Tilly SK LLP has audited the financial position of the City of Yorkton as of December 31, 2018,

Amber Matechuk, City Controller, with the City told Council Monday.

She added their audit opinion was that the City’s financial statements, “present fairly, in all material respects, the City’s financial position and the results of its operations and changes for the year.”

However, “In conjunction with Canadian auditing standards, a final statement cannot be issued until the auditors receive approval from Council,” explained Matechuk.

Once Council approves the draft statements and the Director of Finance signs the representation

letter, the auditors will issue the final financial statements for the city.

“In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the municipality as at December 31, 2018, and results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards,” noted the circulated Independent auditor’s Report.

Management continues to be responsible for:

• System of Internal Controls • Legislative Compliance • Financial Statements and Financial Records We are pleased that the Independent Auditor’s Report indicates compliance with Canadian Public Sector Accounting Standards.

In terms of specifics, Matechuk noted the City’s debt limit is $42,000,000.

Currently there are four major loans; • Fire Hall $3,918,651 • Gallagher Centre $1,372,620 • Waterworks $4,023,000 • Dracup $5,356,470 The total debt of the

loans is $14,670,741.

This leaves the city with approximately $27,300,000 of debt available, as at December 31, 2018, said Matechuk.

On the operations side the year-end preliminary numbers were reported to Council at the May 27, 2019 meeting “Since then, some changes have occurred, primarily the notice that the YBID contribution to Dracup Pedestrian Bridge was included in operating revenue, when it should form part of the capital so it was removed,” offered Matechuk.

Other smaller balancing entries were also

processed, resulting in a change to the operating surplus.

“The final 2018 operating surplus is $33,372, which has been transferred to reserves,” said Matechuk.

The so-called ‘Rainy Day’ reserve had $43,372 added to it from the adjusted year-end surplus.

Additional revenue was received from Sask Power to offset some lost surcharge revenue from 2017, and this bonus of $52,532.19 was added to the rainy day reserve as well, said Matechuk.

Councillor Randy Goulden said the

Strongman competition pulls its weight

By Cory Carlick Staff Writer The Strongman competition took place over the weekend, where the mettle of the best weightlifters in Canada was tested.

Max Boudreau was one of the standout competitors at this year’s event, and he took the time to speak to Yorkton This Week about his history with the sport, how it came about for him, and what happens next.

“My record is 100 lbs over the marked weight,” Boudreau said as to how he so cleanly swept Saturday’s competition.

“I just do what I’ve got to do and that’s it.

“I’ve been doing this for 10 years. I started out as a bodybuilder, and my friend showed me Strongman and said, ‘Come try Strongman this weekend.’ I’m really competitive, so every week I was trying to get stronger and stronger. It was fun to see, and it’s just never stopped since then.”

Boudreau’s training regimen, as one might expect, is disciplined and intense.

“I do bodybuilding throughout the week of all the main muscles, and strongman events through the weekend to get ready for those shows.”

Max already has his eyes on the next chapter of his success.

“My next show is nationals, for Canada’s strongest man in September.”

Weights in excess of 360 lbs were no problem for Max Boudreau, who made it look easy.

Perspective Moe, Goodale fight petty pre-election politics

Murray Mandryk is a political columnist with the Leader Post

Politics Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is right to suggest the federal government and long-time Liberal MP Ralph Goodale may be playing election politics with the infrastructure money.

Unfortunately, that may be all Moe and the Saskatchewan Party are right about.

What they are most wrong about is to somehow imply the age-old practice of ward-healing in advance of the an election vote is something that was evented by the Liberals.

New Democrat. Conservative. Liberal. And, yes, even Moe’s Sask. Party government are guilty of this.

The latest in this summer saga between Ottawa and the province over millions in federal infrastructure dollars now comes down to petty political bickering over the funding of two pools in Regina.

Earlier, Moe and his Sask. Party government threatened to withhold its approval of federal funding over cultural and sports projects — the Gordie Howe Bowl and the Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan festival in Saskatoon and the Globe Theatre in Regina.

What was at issue, at least according to the Sask. Party government, was that $300 million of available federal infrastructure funds were specifically designated for transit projects.

One gets that in less urbanized Saskatchewan, money for city buses may be less of a need or a priority.

But such disagreements are normally resolved behind closed-door discussions between the two levels of government. That Moe and the Sask. Party immediately elevated this to a public fight on social media with accusations spiced with heavy political overtones suggests something much more was in play.

What that “something” is pre-election politics — something that both Moe is as guilty of playing as much (or perhaps even more) than Goodale.

Just as the fight over the three projects seemed to be resolved through the Sask. Party government’s recent approval, Moe levelled political accusations why the federal government was focussing on funding two outdoor swimming pools in Goodale’s Regina-Wascana riding.

“This is an infrastructure fund that is put forward to ensure that we can move forward on provincial priorities,” Moe said last week.

“This is not Ralph Goodale’s re-election fund.”

This quickly drew the ire of the normally unflappable Goodale who accused Moe of “trying very hard to be unpleasant.”

The Regina-Wascana MP noted that the support for the repair of the inner city pools mostly serving low-income kids was requested by the city and no one will mistake Regina Mayor Michael Fougere for a Liberal partisan.

“The provincial government has said that those kids are a lesser priority than a landfill or a garage dump somewhere else,” Goodale said.

Moreover, while Moe said he found it odd that a pool in Goodale’s ridging would be “singled out of 400 applications”, Goodale countered that 21 of the 25 projects Moe’s government submitted for funding happened to be Saskatchewan Party ridings.

“So what do you read in that?” Goodale asked. “Surely that’s not partisan.”

Of the 25 projects, 13 have already been approved by Ottawa.

So, while Moe may be right that there may be some level of pre-election politics in play, he isn’t exactly providing the whole picture.

That whole picture includes the fact that support that other projects are being funded and that — while the pools may be in Goodale riding — funding for these necessary projects is a legitimate request supported by the city.

Second, you would be hard-pressed to ever find a letter from your government MP or MLA that doesn’t highlight the tax dollars spent in your riding on your behalf.

By Moe’s own assertion, this, too, should be considered taxpayers funding re-elections.

It’s also hard to ignore that two Moe’s own caucus members are now running as federal Conservative candidates against the Liberals.

There’s pre-election politics here — a lot of politics.

But as much of it is coming from Moe as it coming is from Goodale.

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

City has ability to borrow and build more T

he 2018 Draft Financial Statements for the City of Yorkton were presented to the regular meeting of Council Monday, and Council would unanimously support a motion to authorize the Director of Finance to sign the representation letter to the auditors; and further that the final 2018 Financial Statements be created and hereby approved.

The process is frankly a near automatic one in terms of process. A city like Yorkton which has done its job in terms of tackling its finances is going to pass an audit.

Yet the process is an important one in providing the checks and balances which keeps everyone from Council through City Administration to the general public having confidence that the finances are in good shape.

What is more interesting than the overall approval of the audit is some of the details contained in the document.

One of the most interesting details was the amount of major debt being held by the City.

At the meeting of Council Monday Amber Matechuk, City Controller, with the City noted the City’s debt limit is $42,000,000.

That number is one which was established a number of years ago, and had to be approved by the province. It is not a standard amount across all cities in the province, with each municipality determining the level of debt they are comfortable carrying at the maximum and then applying to have that level approved. In that respect it can be

raised if a city and the province agree.

The $42 million however is a maximum, and at present Yorkton is well below that in terms of debt.

Currently the City has four major loans; • Fire Hall $3,918,651 • Gallagher Centre $1,372,620 • Waterworks $4,023,000 • Dracup $5,356,470 The total debt of the loans is $14,670,741.

This leaves the city with approximately $27,300,000 of debt available, as at December 31, 2018, said Matechuk.

That leaves a question for Council in particular, and the community as a whole come the next municipal election, whether Yorkton should look at borrowing more dollars to address some of the municipal infrastructure shortfalls that we see around the city?

There are not many drivers in Yorkton who couldn’t point to a few streets where vehicles rattle and shake as they bounce from pothole to pothole.

The current Council has invested additional dollars in sidewalks and asphalt in recent years, but the deficit in infrastructure is significant. The replacement of existing sidewalks and asphalt will still take decades at current rates.

Is borrowing to take a bigger bite out of upgrade needs the right way to go?

That is a question that the community should at least be discussing given the current strong financial position of the City.

Letter to the Editor Not time for changes to CGC Dear Editor:

Grain companies have never liked the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) with its mandate to “regulate the industry in the interests of producers.” For over 100 years the CGC has had the legal responsibility to stop grain companies from using faulty weights, grades and inspections, because all too often these companies have deliberately tried to cheat farmers to make higher profits for themselves.

Some things never change.

Over the past couple of dec-

ades, the CGC’s ability to do its job for farmers has been eroded by governments influenced by lobbying from the grain companies.

The CGC has been most seriously undermined when governments have appointed Chief Commissioners who previously worked for — and whose thinking and values are aligned with — the very grain companies they are now tasked with regulating.

Over the past several months, Agriculture Canada and the grain companies, in

concert with the current senior staff of the CGC, have been rewriting the Canada Grain Act, mostly behind closed doors.

Grain company foxes are advising on how to guard the producers’ hen house.

Their proposed changes to the Act — a grain company wish list — will be put in front of the new Minister of Agriculture immediately after this fall’s federal election, with the expectation it will be quickly passed into law by Parliament.

This wish list will call for the repeal of the CGC’s mandate

to “regulate the industry in the interests of grain producers”.

Changing the CGC’s role from policing the industry, safeguarding the fairness, quality and integrity of Canada’s grain system to instead becoming merely an optional service provider to the grain companies, would cause huge losses for grain farmers. Sidelining the referee would fix the game in favour of the companies.

Farmers are fighting back against the seed companies’ efforts to force farmers to beg (and pay) to save and re-use

seed we grow on our own farms. Now farmers need to stand up to the grain companies’ efforts to grab total control of all aspects of the grain handling and marketing system. This election, farmers need to make sure all their federal candidates know that the Canadian Grain Commission and its mandate to protect grain farmers’ interests are essential to maintaining a healthy farming sector in Canada.

Wotherspoon visits Yorkton for meeting

By Cory Carlick Staff Writer Trent Wotherspoon of the NDP visited Yorkton city hall for a series of meetings.

The discussions, Wotherspoon says, were

Infrastructure and funding were key discussion points at the meet-

Municipal Accounts approved by Council

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The 2018 Municipal Publics Accounts were unanimously approved

by Yorkton Council at its regular meeting Monday.

In accordance with The Cities Act and The Cities Regulations, the

City is required to produce the public accounts document on an annual basis, explained Amber Matechuk, City Controller, with the City.

The document includes the following; • Employee Salaries of $50,000 or more • Council

Remuneration • Contracted Expenditures of $50,000 or more • Grants and Subsidies of $50,000 or more Digital or paper copies are available to the public upon request at City Hall for $10.00 a copy, explained Matechuk.

ities, and also some of the challenges in communities that they’re facing.

“We got some ideas that are really helpful.

So, it’s been a good day of meetings. I know that a key area that is important is infrastructure for funding. This is some-

thing we’re committed to making sure we have infrastructure [funding] for municipalities, that affects the ability to plan for the long term.

“Right now, communities are facing some serious infrastructure pressures and we want

to make sure that the dollars of the provincial share are in place, partner with the federal dollar.

Everything from wastewater to water and landfills, to sidewalks.

So, some good conversations there.”

Province funds epilepsy monitoring unit Saskatchewan residents living with epilepsy can look forward to greater access to monitoring and diagnostic services with a highly specialized telemetry unit at Saskatoon’s Royal University Hospital (RUH).

The provincial government has committed to $1.35 million operational funding each year starting in 2020-21 to establish a four-bed Epilepsy Monitoring Unit. The Royal University Hospital Foundation (RUHF) will begin efforts to fundraise $1.2 million for the cost of capital and equipment.

“Our government is committed to improving access to high-quality health care services for people with epilepsy,” Health Minister Jim Reiter said. “With the generous help of the RUH Foundation, this dedicated, specialized unit will make a tremendous difference to patients who need this service.”

“The addition of this unit will allow the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) to provide improved access to in-depth diagnostic and treatment services for people with difficult-to-diagnose or difficult-to-treat seizures or epilepsy,” SHA Vice President of Provincial Programs Corey Miller said. “We are very grateful to our partners within the Ministry of Health and the Royal University Hospital Foundation for supporting the SHA in providing this improved access to innovative care.”

Many people with epilepsy are able to control seizures with medication.

However, telemetry is an important tool to determine if patients living with epilepsy will benefit from surgery to allevi-

ate seizures and greatly improve their lives.

The telemetry unit will monitor the electrical activity in a patient’s brain over an extended time to determine if surgery would benefit the patient.

The telemetry unit will include dedicated epilepsy monitoring equipment and cameras, allowing physicians to conduct readings and assessments at the patient’s bedside.

Epilepsy monitoring is currently provided at RUH, but the dedicated unit will greatly improve access to services.

“RUH Foundation has already begun to engage potential donors in support of the funding required for the important work of Saskatchewan Epilepsy Program led by

Dr. Jose Téllez-Zenteno and his team,” RUHF CEO Arla Gustafson said. “Having additional telemetry beds will improve the ability to assess and determine if patients are candidates for surgery. For people living with epilepsy, this is life changing.”

Two beds equipped for pediatric epilepsy telemetry services will also become available in fall 2019 with the opening of the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital.

These beds will be available for children to receive telemetry services as required.

Approximately 10,500 people in Saskatchewan are living with epilepsy, 700 of whom are children.

To donate to the telemetry unit, visit the RUHF web site.

Reptiles play to full house at library

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Public Library was packed with excited youngsters and their parents and friends last Wednesday morning in expectation of seeing a variety of critters not typically seen in these parts.

It was standing room only as the Sask Reptile Show made a stop bringing with them animals that originated from places in Africa, Asia, Australia and North and South America.

The animals which were part of the show included a gecko, rose-hair tarantula, milk snake, red-eared slider turtle, bearded-dragon lizard, a python, and tortoises.

In addition to providing those in attendance with a chance to get up

close to some of the animals, Wrangler Elisa, a rehabilitator, educator, and speaker, provided insights into the animals, such as were they originated, and what their diet is.

At the show’s website it notes Elisa “has worked with exotics since she was 14-years-old; caring for all types of exotics from camels to lions. When choosing a field to focus on she often found reptiles to be the most misunderstood by society. Her mission is to create a sparked interest in animals and help conservation through education.”

The show originates with a reptile rescue in the province. It has rescued and rehabilitated over 300 reptiles in the past five-years.

Not everyone likes spiders, snakes and lizards, but they were certainly popular visitors to Yorkton Public Library were a packed room of youth and their parents listened to a talk about the animals, and then had an opportunity to get up close to them.

Highway 9 Bridge Project 2019 Construction

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.

Interesting approach to greenhouse gases When it comes to genetics a lot can be accomplished through selective breeding and a knowledge of what is trying to be accomplished.

You need to look no further than the significant differences among breeds of fancy pigeons, cats and dogs, to see what can be accomplished, albeit the process is not necessarily a quick one.

So it wasn’t exactly a surprise when I read about the possibility of breeding cattle to produce less methane.

According to a recent article in the Western Producer, scientists

at the University of Adelaide in Australia, in collaboration with universities in Europe, Israel and the United States, have conducted research that has shown it is possible to breed cattle to reduce their methane emissions. The genetic makeup of an individual cow significantly controls the level and type of methaneproducing microbes in its rumen.

One has to applaud the approach as being one that addresses a source of greenhouse emissions in a reasonable fashion.

But, we also shouldn’t be pointing to accusing a finger at cattle as the

Agriculture THIS WEEK

Calvin Daniels problem when it comes to greenhouse gases.

When European settlers arrived in North America there were massive herds of bison roaming the Prairies, the herds numbering an estimated at 30-60 million in the late 18th century, depending on the source, and of course

no one was taking head counts. But, around the world there were once far more wild ruminants producing methane than there are today.

Domestic cattle herds have taken over as wild populations of bison, wildebeest and other wild ruminants around the world declined in

numbers.

That is not to suggest we shouldn’t look to ways of reducing the methane domestic cattle produce, and the two most logical approaches would be to find genetic lines which naturally produce less of the gas, and to work on feed formulations which would reduce less gas when consumed.

Certainly greenhouse gas emissions from every source need to be looked at.

While there are those who see climate change as no more than a horror story being told to keep people focused on it rather than other ills

of the world, and others who suggest the changes are just the natural processes of the planet at work, it seems folly not to work on limiting the human dynamic of the equation.

There might be an added cost to raising cattle which produce less methane gas, but there is also value in slowing climate change that could turn currently arable land into unproductive areas which in terms of feeding a still growing world population is not a good thing.

Crop producers granted extension Farmers form the backbone of rural communities across Canada.

They are integral to expanding our middleclass and strengthening our economy.

The Government of Canada remains committed to growing Canada’s agricultural sector by ensuring all farmers have the support they need to manage significant risks that threaten the viability of their farms.

Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau announced today that crop producers impacted by recent market disruptions may now be eligible for an additional

six months to repay 2018 cash advances under the Advance Payments Program (APP).

The Stay of Default, which covers advances on grains, oilseeds and pulses, will provide additional flexibility to repay advances for farmers that may be facing lower prices, reduced marketing opportunities or a decrease in farm cash income. The decision comes following recent changes made by the Government of Canada to strengthen the APP by increasing the maximum loan limit for all farmers to $1 million and the interest-free portion to $500,000 for canola.

The six-month Stay of

Default to March 31, 2020, will provide producers with more time to repay their 2018 outstanding advances.

The Stay of Default was granted at the request of nine program administrators.

The Government of Canada will also continue to pay interest on the interestfree portion of farmers’ outstanding advances until March 31, 2020, for those commodities.

Producers who received a 2018 APP advance from any of the nine participating administrators could be eligible for the Stay of Default and are encouraged to contact their

respective administrator for more details.

Participating administrators are the AgriCommodity Management Association, Alberta Sugar Beet Growers, Alberta Wheat Commission, BC Breeder and Feeder Association, Canadian Canola Growers Association, Manitoba Corn Growers Association Inc., Manitoba Livestock Cash Advance Inc., Producteurs de Grains du Québec and Western Cash Advance Program Inc. Quote Our government is working closely with our farmers to meet their

needs and is taking many concrete steps to help them deal with the current market turmoil. This Stay of Default will give them more flexibility and the room to maneuver so they can better manage their liquidity. “ The Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Quick Facts The Advance Payments Program is a financial loan guarantee program that provides producers easy access to credit through cash advances. There was over 21,000 producers who participated in the program in 2018, and the

average advance was approximately $118,000.

For the 2018 program year, 12,902 grains, oilseed and pulse producers took more than $1.68 billion in advances, representing a 3% increase in the number of grains, oilseed and pulse producers taking advances under the program, and a 6% increase in the value of advances taken in 2017.

As of July 31, there has been close to 1,100 new producers who have joined the program in 2019 and there has been approximately 360 producers who have returned to the program after not participating in the last three years.

Harvest lags behind average by a little Despite rain delays in some areas, producers now have over one per cent swathed or ready to straight-cut, and less than one per cent of the 2019 crop combined according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Crop Report.

The five-year (2014-2018) average is four per cent combined and five per cent swathed or ready to straightcut. Seventeen per cent of the fall rye, 14 per cent of the winter wheat, three per cent of the field peas and one per cent of the lentils are now stored in bins.

Harvest progress is most advanced in the southeast and southwest regions where one per cent of the crop is now combined. Producers in

the central regions and north have less than one per cent of the crop in bins and expect to be harvesting in the coming weeks.

Rainfall last week delayed harvest operations in the southern regions. Rainfall ranged from trace amounts to 82 mm in the Pense area.

Provincially, topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as three per cent surplus, 78 per cent adequate, 17 per cent short and two per cent very short. Topsoil moisture on the hay land and pasture is rated as one per cent surplus, 72 per cent adequate, 25 per cent short and two per cent very short. The recent rainfall may cause downgrading and quality issues in pulse crops.

Hay yields are below average overall. Estimated average dryland hay yields for the

province are 0.9 tons per acre for alfalfa; one ton per acre for alfalfa/bromegrass; 0.8 tons

per acre for other tame hay; 0.7 tons per acre for wild hay and 1.8 tons per acre for greenfeed.

Estimated average irrigated hay yields are 2.4 tons per acre for alfalfa; 2.2 tons per acre for alfalfa/bromegrass; 1.9 tons per acre for other tame hay; 1.2 tons per acre for wild hay and 3.2 tons per acre for greenfeed.

The majority of crop damage this week was from strong winds and localized flooding.

Producers are busy hauling bales and grain, getting ready for harvest and desiccating and combining crops.

Answering questions about film

In this spot I’ve talked about how I like shooting film before. Maybe some people are interested in trying it out. In this space, I’m going to answer questions people ask.

The first is always asking where I get film. The response is sometimes “depends on the film” but in my case it’s mostly online, because I like trying out new films and I’m drawn to stuff that is not commonly sold in grocery stores. But believe it or not, film is still sold in grocery stores and pharmacies, there are a few businesses in town where I’ve found rolls of Kodak Gold waiting for purchase. It’s a great way to get started if you have a camera you just found that you want to give a shot.

Where do I get it developed? I either go to Regina, where London Drugs still does same-day processing for colour film and Don’s Photo can send away black and white or special formats,

or I ship it to Downtown Photo in Toronto when I have an especially big order. I could, and should, do it myself, but haven’t learned how yet and am paranoid I’ll screw it up. I’ll learn eventually. If there’s a place in town that does it I would use them, but I haven’t found it yet.

Of course, if you’ve found a camera, whether in your own basement or a thrift store, you might wonder about what film it uses. Maybe you want to try this out for yourself.

Here’s a quick rundown of film I know a bit about.

The most common film is 35mm, the film in a canister that a lot of people think about when they think film. The majority of my cameras are 35mm, of course, and it’s still easy to find and everyone who still develops it will handle it. For a beginner, 35mm is best.

The next most common would be 120, also known as medium format. It’s a roll film, so it’s

DEVIN WILGER

Thinking I do with words... on a small roll and backed with paper. The handy thing about this is it doesn’t have to be rewound at the end of the roll, which means I have never had to go to a dark closet to deal with a medium-format camera where the rewind motor has broke. The other advantage is that the negative is much bigger, so you get more detail. The disadvantages are that scanning it is more annoying, it’s a bit more expensive, and you get fewer pictures on a roll.

After 120 is 620, which is 120 on a different spool, so they don’t fit in the same spots. This format

was used in the Kodak Brownie line, and if you collect cameras you will, eventually, own several Kodak Brownie cameras whether you like it or not.

I own five, I have deliberately purchased zero.

The Film Photography Project still makes supplies for 620 film, including their own spools and re-rolling 120 film onto them.

The Film Photography Project is generally great.

On the other end of the spectrum is 110, which is used in tiny pocket cameras and is on a little selfcontained cartridge. The cartridge is really nifty, but a smaller negative

means less detail, and most of the cameras that used it were cheap, so 110 is associated with poor image quality. Not many people make it anymore - just Lomography, which is at least easy to find. It’s also really annoying to scan because none of the major scanner manufacturers think anyone is going to work with it. But my first camera used 110 so I have some affection for it.

Another format that is annoying which I have affection for is 127, which is a roll film that is smaller than 120 and used in a camera that my grandmother gave me before she died. That means I still want to use it even though one company in Japan makes it, barely anyone actually develops it and it’s more expensive than it’s worth.

There are also films that are genuinely dead, like 616, which is slightly larger than 120 and nobody makes at all.

People do make parts to

allow you to use 120 film in a 616 camera, but I look at the lone 616 camera I own and I suspect that the image quality is not going to be worth ordering special parts.

There are other dead formats out there like 126 and APS, and while often people go through the effort of making the cameras usable, whether it’s worth it depends on the user.

That’s a fairly brief overview of what I use and collect, which doesn’t even touch on instant film - since I know nothing about it at all - or things like large format since I don’t own a camera that uses it.

The important lesson through all of this is that if you find an old camera, and it still works, you might be able to still use it, so you should try it out.

It might not always be easy to do, but sometimes it means more than just the film that goes through it.

‘Bigs’ fishing fun Big Brothers Big Sisters of Yorkton and Area were very pleased to be invited to bring three groups to the Lions Wilderness Experience Camp this year. The camp is for anyone, of any age and any ability, who has special needs and varying ability. The camp runs for two weeks starting the Monday after the August long weekend at the Northern Lights Lodge on Hanson Lake and groups attend for three night sessions. The local Bigs organization took nine individuals from Aug. 12 to 15. The Bigs group thanked the Yorkton Lions Club for sponsoring two cabins and the Esterhazy Lions Club for sponsoring one cabin. Comments from the campers included ‘best time of my life’, ‘so awesome to get to go fishing’, ‘I want to stay,’ ‘I would never of gotten to do this any other way’, and ‘I so appreciate it’. This is a life changing opportunity thanks to the Lions who help make it possible especially Ken, Gord, Gary, Glenn and Doug our boat drivers and helpers.

Thanks to everyone for making a difference in so many peoples lives.

Burgis Beach gets a lil’ library Burgis Beach has its own library now, small though it may be.

“Our little library all started with an idea from Alexandria Blatter, who suggested we have one out at Burgis Beach for our residents and summer visitors to enjoy,” explained Stacey Pfeifer.

With a good idea to see come to fruition, local people gathered to get the project done.

“With any project at Burgis there are always volunteers who step up to help,” said Pfeifer. “In this case it was Stuart McFadyen who used his many talents to create Burgis Beach’s Little Library.”

Others helped install the library and of course to help in stocking the shelves with books.

The library is now in place and being used by residents of all ages.

A look back at history for youth

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer It was a ‘Blast from the Past’ last week at the Yorkton branch of the Western Development Museum.

Running Tuesday through Thursday, the program provided participating youth, ages eight-to-12, with fun activities and hands-on experiences designed to provide a glimpse into pioneer life on the Canadian Prairies.

The half dozen youth enrolled spent a busy day Tuesday, including making rope, taking a wagon wide in and around the WDM grounds, playing ‘I

Spy’ as a scavenger hunt through the museum, making perogies and hand carding wool.

Wednesday the activities included making a candle, undertaking a heritage-themed ‘Amazing Race’ and doing the preparation for an apple pie, and strawberry jam.

Thursday the activities included a family lunch, which included perogies the youth had made earlier, along with hamburgers and corn on the cob. The meal would also include apple pie, and biscuits with strawberry jam, which the youth had helped make Wednesday as part of the program.

Celosia makes it into ‘use again’ file Have you made any “use this again” plant entries in your garden journal? One that will be going into our file is celosia, a beautiful plant that was a real winner in our plantings!

Celosia belongs to the amaranth family, a very colorful and flamboyant family among plants.

Amaranth also includes “Love Lies Bleeding” and “Joseph’s Coat”, but the celosia cousins are just as striking!

We usually see two kinds of celosia, the interesting “cockscomb”, which does indeed look like the comb on a rooster; or the fluffy celosia plumosa that looks like a large tuft of feathers. They are easy-care plants, enjoying full sun to part shade and welldrained soil. They are not plagued with pests, and will do equally well planted in containers or directly into our flower beds. The plumes are long-lived, so we can enjoy them for weeks.

Or, if we choose to pick them, they will make a real focal point in a vase or flower arrangement.

Celosia grows about a foot high, in compact, bushy plants. The colors of the plumes are amazing: red, orange, yellow, and even purple. If you had a cluster of these in a flower bed, they’d be a real delight! And they are just a beautiful in a container. We had ours planted in a low container, and they seemed very happy there.

I saw a picture of another interesting

DEBBIE HAYWARD

YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

Gardener’s Notebook celosia cousin, “celosia argentea” which had fuchsia flowers that were more in the shape of a candle, darker at the tip and fading into mauve below. There are also other varieties that look like a compact, rippled, ball-shaped flower. The celosia family is indeed fascinating!

If you’ve grown celosia, you know how they add flair and whimsy to our plantings. And if you haven’t grown it, give it a try next year!

So, one more entry in our garden journals.

A fellow gardener told me that she also takes pictures of things that worked well, or plants that she really liked, to serve as a reminder next year. This is a wonderful idea!

Another entry: plant borage. We have several borage plants throughout the garden, and they are wonderful to attract the bees! Between the borage plants and the blooming oregano, the garden is buzzing, literally! The bees are most welcome guests; we do all we can to give them a hospitable place to visit.

Yet one more entry: pollinating zucchini.

There is always such a joke made about people having too much zucchini; in fact, August 8 is even “Sneak Some Zucchini On Your Neighbor’s Porch Day”.

But if you are noticing fewer pollinators in your garden, and that zucchini fruits seem to be growing then shrivel, they are likely not being pollinated and may need your help. Yes, you can do this and it is an easy process. Pick a male flower, remove the petals, then brush the pollen onto the centre of a female flower.

Doing this in the morning is best, when the flowers are fresh and fully open.

Remember, you can enjoy the flavors of the garden with produce from the Yorkton Gardeners’ Market! It is on every Saturday beginning at 8:00 a.m. till noon at Melrose Avenue and Simpson Street, Yorkton.

If you’d like more information, either as a buyer or seller, please call Glen at 783-7040 or send a note to ethelda61@hotmail. com.

Transportation upgrades Investing in modern transportation infrastructure is critical to connecting communities, safely and efficiently moving commercial goods to market and people to their destinations, and building a strong economic future for all Canadians.

Ralph Goodale, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, on behalf of François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, and Greg Ottenbreit, Saskatchewan Minister of Highways and Infrastructure, announced more than $75.3 million in joint funding to improve the provincial and national highway systems.

The projects involve building four sets of passing lanes on Highway 4 and repaving approximately 220 kilometres of Highways 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 14, 20, 21, 55 and 102.

Once complete, these vital improvements will not only increase the safety and efficiency of Saskatchewan’s highways, but also help facilitate trade and support economic growth for years to come.

The Government of Canada is contributing $32.7 million to these projects through the New Building

Canada Fund, Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component—National and Regional Projects while the province of Saskatchewan is providing $42.6 million.

“Transportation and distribution of goods are a vital part of our local, regional and national economies,” Ralph Goodale, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness on behalf of Francois-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities said. “These highway improvements in Saskatchewan will keep motorists safe, shorten travel times and improve access of our products to world markets, bolstering economic growth and the prosperity of the middle class and all those working hard to join it.”

“Our government has demonstrated a commitment for investments into highways, bridges and culverts to keep our province growing,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Greg Ottenbreit said. “ At the same time, it’s critical that we keep the infrastructure we already have in good condition. Investing in Saskatchewan highways is important to all of us so that we can get people and products moving in a safe and timely manner.”

Treasures for kids Every youngster likes nothing better than getting a new toy. Even if that toy is a used one, as they were at a toy sale held at Heritage Baptist Church in Yorkton Friday. The toy sale, along with an associated hotdog lunch, was a fundraiser, with proceeds from the sale going to be used for kids to attend Sumy Bible Camp in Ukraine. The event was part of the wind up for Vacation Bible School, as well as an opportunity to learn about missions.

Open homes build strong community When did the lovely art of hospitality start to leave us? It dangles by a fraying thread, it seems. Even among Christ-followers, mandated to share both home and food, the hardened shears of too-much-business, and too-little-love have almost snipped it from among us.

The Preacher and I accepted an invitation to share a meal at the home of country friends. As our car charged like an eager steed over arrowstraight prairie roads, we became escapees to gentler times. Busy town life faded behind us like yesterday’s dreams.

In its place stood a wide, welcoming porch, and an apron-clad hostess beckoning, “Come in!

Come in!” Inside, the air was redolent with fragrance. Cinnamon buns.

Ham. And something else, discernible only with the spirit: the presence of Christ.

I’m positive he joined us as we sat around that table, beautifully decorated with smiling faces.

I know he blessed us with his presence, influencing our thoughts and directing our conversation. I imagine his eyes gleamed. I imagine he listened to our chatter with interest. I imagine he chuckled.

It happened again a few evenings ago at our own home. Clouds hovered all day, threatening rain. But inside, as I prepared to open our home to others, God’s Son

brushed my heart with joy.

The Preacher was away, so I’d invited five female friends. They flocked in, bearing dishes. We shared a salad supper, potluck style. We sat long. Talked much, laughed often. And sometime during the evening... perhaps when the youngest among us wandered over to our century-old

piano, and teased a simple melody from its badly-tuned ivories... perhaps it was then, I sensed Christ enjoying the evening with us.

I have often, and gladly, shared time in restaurants with friends. But the convenience of not having to prepare both house and food comes at the expense of things precious: the joy of serv-

ing others, the intimacy of community life, and that sweet sense of sitting alongside a Divine, unseen guest.

When ordinary people share ordinary food and ordinary drink in an ordinary home, and when all that is mixed with love, something extra-ordinary happens.

Something much sweeter than the triple-citrus cheesecake our daughter Amanda supplied that night.

Life, I think, doesn’t get much richer.

For decades, our family and friends sat around an antique ninefoot oak table. We’ve passed it on to our children now, but I cherish the memories made

around its polished, timeand-child-worn finish.

We have a different table now, already sticky with memories of precious guests who’ve shared it — family, friends, strangers.

Gratitude overflows in me for each one.

Hospitality is always work. But when love propels it, it serves us in the end, refreshing drained and soured spirits, and dishing up memories that sustain soul-health for years.

I challenge you: open your door. Make it potluck, if you dare. But don’t forget to invite Christ. He is spirit sustenance itself: Bread of life, Oil of joy.

Living water.

Invite someone home.

Mauler camp starts revamped team

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer It might only be the middle of August on the calendar, but in Canada that can still mean the start of hockey season, or at least that it’s time to begin preparing for the upcoming season.

That is what the Yorkton SECON Maulers were doing as the AAA Midget club held its fall camp at the Farrell Agencies Arena over the weekend.

After a season where the team struggled for wins, it’s a new chapter for the Maulers who have a new naming sponsor, new logo, new head coach and of course some new players after the weekend.

The new coach is at least a familiar face to local hockey fans since Ed Zawatsky played for the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League Yorkton Terriers in 1985-86, spent time as assistant coach, then head coach and general manager with the franchise.

After a stint coaching Bantam and Midget programs in British

The Maulers have a new naming sponsor, new logo, new coach and a fresh look after holding their fall camp on the weekend.

Columbia he is back in the city with the Maulers.

“It’s pretty comfortable here,” he said in the first intermission of the intra-squad game Sunday, adding with family in the area taking the position was a good fit.

Zawatsky comes to the Maulers with a fresh outlook, wanting to look forward with the team

rather than dwelling on the losses last season.

“I haven’t even really looked at what happened last year,” he said, adding in taking the position the team executive made it clear this was a fresh start for the team.

The weekend camp attracted about 70-players, although Zawatsky noted it is the nature of hockey at this time of

year some players are likely to filter to try-outs after attending other camps.

Still he said, “It was competitive. I like how they were working this weekend.”

The camp might not have had all the skill in the world, but Zawatsky said he liked the character and work ethic he saw

from a number of players, adding that is something he can work with moving forward.

Moving forward the Maulers will be taking a team approach to things, and that means building character and chemistry among the entire roster both on the ice and off, said Zawatsky.

“It’s not always about

wins and losses,” he said, adding he wants the members of the Maulers to grow as players and as young men.

Zawatsky expected to keep 25-30 players from the weekend camp, adding “we still have some spots open” so the final roster will come together in the next couple of weeks.

Local lacrosse players headed to B.C.

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Saskatchewan will be sending two provincial field lacrosse teams west in search of medals on the upcoming Labor Day weekend.

Yorkton and area will be represented on both squads.

Joe Laprairie of Regina is the head coach

of the 15U team, with Yorkton’s Adam Stewart one of the assistants.

“It’s the second year of this coaching staff at Nationals,” said Laprairie.

Last year the Saskatchewan team was what Laprairie called a developmental one, but also one that did quite well.

“We just finished outside of playing for

bronze,” he said, noting they finished fifth.

This year the field is down to five teams, and Laprairie said they are hoping to be in the medal mix.

“We’re hoping to finish better,” he said, although he added Ontario, and host British Columbia are “heavy favourites as always,” to be on top of the heap.

The 23-member 15U team includes players from across the region, including Logan Halarewich of Melville, Toby Olynyk of Buchanan and Tomas Hauber of Canora, and Colby Johnson of Stockholm.

team’s goaltenders, and Ashton Schuster and Daxton Kulcsar are at attack.

The 18U team is being coached by Prince Albert’s Javan Bexon.

Like Laprairie, Bexon is hoping for better things in Kelowna.

“Last year we lost in the bronze medal game to Quebec,” he said.

This year he hopes to bring home medals, with only four teams taking part a medal round berth in assured, and again B.C. and Ontario are heavily favoured to meet for gold.

So Bexon has his sights set on winning bronze.

“We’re hoping to come out with a medal this year,” he said.

Bexon said the team certainly looks stronger headed west.

“Last year we didn’t have a whole lot of kids try-out for the team,” he said, adding this year numbers “quadrupled.”

As a result the team is stronger.

“We’ve got a good group of kids,” he said, adding across the province field lacrosse has stabilized as a program with numbers starting to grow.

Jarvis Zawatsky of Yorkton, Seth Rayner of Stenen, Carter Masley of Sturgis, and William Hauber of Canora are the local area players on the team.

Chance to watch cricket intrigued I’m not sure how many local viewers would have been tuning into the recent broadcasts of the Global T20 Canada cricket matches, but I watched a few.

It’s not that I was a fan of cricket. In fact, past the briefest introduction to the game when the Yorkton team that existed a few years ago held a sort of hands-on evening to raise some awareness, I knew very little about the sport.

The local experience, where people were given a chance to swing a cricket bad, did show me that swinging a baseball bat does not mean you can use a cricket bat.

There is even a photo on Facebook showing my lack of form with a crick-

et bat.

That small taste did suggest to me that cricket batsman are rather good with the bats, as they spray hits all over the circular pitch. Of course successful hitting is critical to the sport because it not only accounts for scoring runs, but the batter must protect the wickets. If a wicket is hit by a pitch, the batter is retired.

Now I might well be missing a lot of the intricacies of the game, but in watching games in the T20 I have to say it was the bat control that held my attention most.

For those not aware, T20 is basically an adapted, shorter form of cricket. Each side faces 20 ‘overs’ each having a pitcher throw six pitches before switching to

CALVIN DANIELS

Sports another thrower. In general terms the batting team sees 120 pitches to score on.

Even as a shorter form, I found the games were a tad longer than my attention span as a very casual ‘fan’. It might have been better had the short form been T16. Even the game announcers were suggesting things such as pitch clocks to speed the game.

Frankly, any sport that pushes past three-hours is dragging beyond modern day attention spans in my mind.

I have thought for a while now that cricket is a sport that will eventually have a professional league. The sport has a huge following in places such as South Africa, Australia, India and Pakistan. There has been significant immigration

to North America from several countries where cricket is popular, meaning there is an existing potential fan base based on cultural interest in cricket.

The Global T20 drew on that fan base, but for only a couple of weeks, as the event is a tournament event, with teams representing Canadian cities, but made up largely of players for-hire from around the world.

Eventually, whether just in Canada, or a broader North Americabased one, a more traditional city-based league is going to happen. It is the norm in terms of marketing on this continent, and eventually it will happen.

So, after a few games

A15

on TV would I be tuning in to a weekly game?

If there is a Canadian team I would be at least curious, although they would likely need to tighten up play to speed games. I’ve been a baseball fan since I was old enough to watch games with my Dad, so more than 50 years and increasingly I find the ridiculous number of pitching changes and other factors being a drag on the game as it slows beyond its normal casual cadence, and games lengthen.

It is likely that T20 Canada 2020, already announced, will get me DVRing a game or two, as I delve more into the sport, and in that regard I suppose cricket may one day have a new fan – time will tell.

STEFANYSHYN - It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Richard Henry Stefanyshyn of the Buchanan district, beloved husband of Rhonda, on August 8, 2019 with the family by his side at the young age of 52.

Richard was born on March 7, 1967. Son of Henry and Alice (Paley) Stefanyshyn, he was the oldest out of 3 children, sister Roxanne and brother Michael. Richard grew up on farm in the Springside district. Upon the completion of his high school, he worked many jobs including Fedorowich and Potzus Construction. He took a passion for farming and met the love of his life Rhonda Satterthwaite. They were blessed with 3 children, Ryley, Reegan and Rhianna. They moved to the Tiny farm in the (Buchanan district). In his spare time Richard had the love for hockey, he played with the Theodore Buffalos for many years and his favourite NHL team was the Montreal Canadiens. Richard’s other interests were hunting, fishing, trapping and poker derbys. He loved to watch his children’s activities, hockey, figure skating and dance. He belonged to the R.M of Buchanan, serving on council since 2003 and taking on the position of Deputy Reeve in 2012. He was always a part of many different boards on counsel. Richard also expanded his farming operation into some track hoe and bush pushing work on the side. He leaves to mourn, his loving wife, Rhonda, three children, Ryley (Shelby) Reegan and Rhianna; sister Roxann (Walter) Zachary, Brittany Hudy; brother Michael, Devin, Dawson; mother and father-in-law Lesley and Sandra Satterthwaite; sister-in-law Karen (Mike) Ronnie, Madison (niece). Numerous aunties, uncles, cousins, neighbours and friends. Richard was predeceased by his parents Henry and Alice, his grandparents, Mike and Mary Stefanyshyn, George and Sophia Paley. Prayers were held on Wednesday, August 14, 2019 and the Funeral Liturgy on Thursday, August 15, 2019 at St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Yorkton with Very Rev. Leonid Malkov, C.Ss.R. as the Celebrant. The cross bearer was Brittany Hudy and the epistle reader was Reegan Stefanyshyn.

KAIZER - Lee Kaizer was born on February 1, 1936 in Yorkton, SK. She passed away on August 11, 2019 at the Yorkton and District Nursing Home. Lee was the 10th child of Mike and Sarah (Mesanchuk) Fenuik. When Lee was a month old, her mother was diagnosed with TB and went to Fort San. Lee and her older brother were sent to live with neighbouring families for 6 months. Lee attended Yorkton Collegiate in Yorkton and completed grade 10. After school Lee was employed by Propp’s Foodeteria in Yorkton and then moved on to the OK Economy, where she met her husband Jim. They had one daughter, Tracey, in 1969. After her separation from Jim, Lee continued her working career at York Sask Drycleaners, along with serving banquets at the Corona Motor Inn and cleaning Dr. Bode’s dental office. Always a hard worker, these three jobs kept Lee busy, sometimes until the wee hours of the morning. After York Sask Drycleaners changed hands, Lee gained full time employment in the kitchen at the Corona Motor Inn and worked through their name change to the Travelodge until they closed their doors in 2005. She continued cleaning the office for Dr. Bode until she finally retired at the age of 71.

Lee was the official “Taste Tester” during her time at the Corona Motor Inn/ Travelodge; every dish that went through the kitchen doors - soups, cabbage rolls and desserts had her seal of approval. Lee loved to shop and always had matching outfits, right down to the perfect accessories and shoes. Lee never met a stranger in her life - she made friends wherever she went. She enjoyed going out for coffee or a good meal with her friends - she would walk on the track at the Agriplex and then meet her friends after their swim class for coffee (she didn’t join them for class because she was afraid of water!). Lee was always playing hostess, making sure you had something to drink and making sure you were fed whether you were hungry or not. And she loved to dote on Tanner, the dog that she and Donna shared - feeding him home cooked meals and even ice cream cones! Lee was predeceased by her siblings Kay, John, Matt, Bill, Edward, Jean and Jennie. She is survived by her brother George in B.C. and a sister MaryAnn in Lethbridge, along with numerous nieces, nephews and other family. She leaves to mourn her loss her dearest friend Donna - who started out as a co-worker at the Corona and became a fast friend over 20 years - along with Donna’s entire family who adopted Lee as their own and who have shared many laughs with Lee over the years. A graveside service was held on Tuesday, August 22, 2019 at Yorkton City Cemetery with Shelly Morris officiating. Interment followed at Yorkton City Cemetery.

JEMIEFF - Mrs. Nettie Jemieff (nee Skutnitsky), wife of the Late Fred Jemieff of Yorkton and formerly of Kamsack District, passed away peacefully on August 7, 2019 at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre. She was 85 years of age.

Nettie was born in the Stornoway District on the family farm March 14, 1934, the youngest of five children born to Walter and Kate (nee Solonenko) Skutnitsky.

Nettie received her education at Stornoway School. Upon graduation she took a secretarial course in Regina and then worked at the Medical Arts Building in Regina. When she met Fred Jemieff of Kamsack, she fell in love and they subsequently married on July 23, 1955. Fred and Nettie lived and worked in Toronto briefly before they moved back to take over the Jemieff family farm.

Fred and Nettie farmed and raised their two sons Jerry and Russell.

Nettie also was employed as a medical secretary in Kamsack for many years. In 2005, Fred and Nettie retired and later moved from the family farm to Yorkton in 2013.

Nettie enjoyed entertaining and often hosted huge family gatherings. She was an excellent cook and grew a huge garden from which she preserved jams, jellies, pickles and relish, and of course, shared the abundance of produce with the rest of the family. Nettie was always known for her quick wit and she loved visiting and playing cards with friends on many occasions. Fred and Nettie travelled and visited family in Toronto and BC as well as taking winter vacations to Florida, California and Arizona. Above all, Nettie adored her family and would help out as much as she could, whether it be babysitting, driving grandchildren to music festival performances and in later years attending musicals, recitals, horse shows, baton twirling competitions and hockey games. Nettie loved her pets especially her beautiful black lab Holly who was her faithful companion after Fred’s passing. Nettie was predeceased by Fred, her husband of 63 years, her parents Walter and Kate, her brothers Anton and Carl, her sister Emily Strutynski, brothers-in-law Walter Strutynski, William Minchuk, Paul Goddard and sisters-in-law Janet Skutnitsky and Mildred Goddard.

She leaves to mourn and celebrate her life, her son Gerald (Laurene) of Saskatoon; son Russell (April) of Olds, AB,four grandchildren Reid Jemieff, Diana Jemieff-Hayes (Ian), Jenna Jemieff (Braden), Ethan Jemieff and two great-granddaughters, Hannah and Charlotte Hayes. She also leaves to mourn her sister Mary Minchuk of Kelowna and sister-in-law Paulette Skotnicki of Yorkton, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, cousins and dear friends. Funeral Services were held on Monday, August 19, 2019 from the Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre with Very Rev. Leonid Malkov, C.Ss.R. of St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church officiating. A solo “On Eagle’s Wings” was sung by Nettie’s granddaughter, Diana Jemieff-Hayes, with piano accompaniment by Laurene Jemieff. Niece, Jackie Rohatensky, grandchildren, Reid Jemieff and Jenna Jemieff read tributes and words of remembrance of Nettie. Logan Rohatensky served as the cross bearer. Interment followed in the Garden of St. Luke in the Yorkton Memorial Gardens with Reid Jemieff, Diana Jemieff-Hayes, Ian Hayes, Jenna Jemieff, Russell Jemieff and Tea Rohatensky serving as the casket bearers. Memorials in memory of Nettie may be made to toward Palliative Care at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre as gifts of remembrance.

In Loving Memory Of

MARK GEYSEN

who passed away August 20, 2016

It’s been 3 years...

Our legacy is really the lives we touch, the inspiration we give, altering someone’s plan - even if for a moment and getting them to think, cry, laugh, argue.

More than anything, we are remembered for our smiles; the ones we share with our closest and dearest and the ones we bestow on a total stranger, who needed it “right then” and God put you there to deliver.

Forever in our hearts and always on our minds

Love You Papa Bear

Deck building a spellbook unique feature When is a deck builder not a deck builder?

Well The Language of Magic is close to not being a deck builder as advertised on the box.

A player does start with a deck of personal cards, which you essentially buy from over the course of the game to add to the playable cards you have access too. So you are building a deck, but you won’t really feel like you are playing a deck builder.

That isn’t necessarily a bad thing, because there are literally dozens of deck builders out

there so you want something a bit different with the mechanic and here it is only a little flavouring on the game.

That said the overview of the game by Shawn Hescock makes use of the current interest in the genre to promote the game.

“The Language of Magic is a deck building card game which was inspired by the works of Richard Garriott and my long-time appreciation for the world he created.

Players of The Language of Magic take on a role of the Avatar, the defenders of Spirituality, in their

THE MEEPLE GUILD (Yorkton) meeple.guild@gmail.com fight against the vile lich, the Master of Hythloth.

The Avatar amass their collection of the Words of Power and combines them into powerful spells. The battle will be fierce and those with the most potential, best strategies, and loudest voice

are likely to come out alive,” notes the ruleset.

The game can be played three ways: solitary, 2-4 player cooperation, and multi-player duel.

The versatility of play is a definite plus.

The game for a group is

a co-operative one where you work to expand your spell elements resources, the cards you have access to use, so you can cast spells, typically against the big baddie and its minions. I say typically because you can cast spells to help protect yourself and fellow players, or to heal damage taken too.

The idea is pretty solid, not surprising as it’s based on a book.

However, the terminology on the cards is a bit hard to grasp, and understanding which ‘words’ work with others to link up a more complicated

spell will have you digging into the rule book a bit more than our group liked.

There is a fine line between interesting game and one a bit too complicated to be worth the effort to learn well.

The Language of Magic definitely flirts with that line, at least for our group.

We enjoyed the idea we saw in the game, but may never devote the time to learning it well enough to be truly appreciates.
