The community had the chance to meet with RCMP officers and their partner organizations at Wednesday’s town hall.

Yorkton RCMP town hall meeting By Cory Carlick Staff Writer At the St. Mary’s Cultural Centre Wednesday night, the Yorkton RCMP hosted a town hall meeting, along with its member agencies. The meeting allowed the commun-

ity to interact with law enforcement in an informal setting in order to discuss issues in the neighbourhood relevant to them. Staff Sgt. Jeff Simpson, of the Yorkton Detachment RCMP, felt that the event was positive, helping to facilitate valuable communication between officers

and members of the communities they serve. “Essentially, we had a format where we had a number of tables set up throughout the evening, with a number of topics for each table,” said Staff Sgt. Simpson. “Also, we extended an invitation to

all of our partner agencies. So it’s given us an opportunity to for us to engage with the community and the different communities and public that we serve, and our jurisdiction within Yorkton Detachment. “It gives the opportunity to the

Ukrainian/East European genealogy Interview with John Pihach Doris: John tell us about your background? John: I was born in Yorkton, received a B.Sc. degree in physics from the University of British Columbia, travelled the world, studied Studio Fine Arts at the Vancouver Community College, published two books. Doris: How did you get interested in genealogy? John: Growing up, I heard lots of stories from my dad about his ancestral village. When I eventually visited the place I got curious about the earlier generations that had lived there. Doris: How far back were you able to go? John: To the mid1700s. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that my most distant Pihach ancestor was also named John. Doris: It must have been very thrilling talk-

ing to people in your dad’s ancestral village. Plus, exploring the history of your ancestors several hundred years ago. What really excited you about all this? John: Looking at primary documents is one of my pleasures. Unlike seeing information on microfilms or online, seeing original records made me feel contemporary with the parish priest from a couple hundred years ago who touched that page when he recorded the birth, marriage and death data of an ancestor. That is, it transported me back to that era. Doris: That’s very interesting. What else attracts your attention to these historical ancestral records? John: I discovered resources allowing me to learn much more than just names and dates. Archival materials include information

about occupations, size of land properties, taxes, types of crops grown, cadastral maps, and other types of records which made possible the reconstruction of the nature and history of the ancestral community. Doris: What are cadastral maps? John: Cadastral maps are extremely detailed maps that show every building and land plot. In addition, they reveal the names of the owners of these buildings and the locations of their fields. Doris: You’ve done lots of travelling. Can you Limited appointments available - call now!

elaborate? John: I’ve spent many years travelling in Asia and Europe. My first journey lasted a year. One time I back-packed overland around the world. In addition, I visited Eastern European countries 11 times, much of that involved conducting research in the archives of Ukraine, Poland, and Vienna. Doris: To do research in many countries must mean that you can speak and understand a number of languages? John: I have a smattering of several languages. Most of the church records were in Latin. Because of their columnar format, know-

ing a few dozen words is sufficient to decipher the information. Doris: Tell me about the genealogy book that you wrote? John: When I first began this research, there were no genealogical guides to direct me. After years of futile waiting for one, and after acquiring considerable experience, I decided to write a genealogy guide for Ukrainians. The focus is on research beyond your Canadian antecedents. Ukrainian Genealogy describes methods of research, overseas resources, record interpretation and other genealogical information. Doris: Can you tell us about some of your genealogy work and publications? John: For eight years, I was the library chairperson for the East European Genealogical Society. Also, I had interviewed the head of the archival system in Ukraine and had that

interview published as an article in the East European Genealogical Society. The Ukrainian State Archives felt that it would be useful to place this interview on their website as it answers “frequently asked questions” of people. Besides Ukrainian Genealogy, I’ve published a dozen articles in Galician research and made presentations in Edmonton, Regina, Saskatoon, Winnipeg and Chicago. Doris: Thanks for the interview. Mr. John Pihach is one of three speakers who will be presenting at the Yorkton Genealogical Society Conference on September 28, 2019. It will be held in the “Events Room” of the Painted Hand Casino in Yorkton, Saskatchewan.

hosted a table tonight; our CN police; Citizens on Patrol; Parkland Victim Services; our protective services committee; Crime Stoppers, our Provincial Crime Stoppers; in addition to members of the Yorkton Detachment. “Overall, it was a fairly well attended event, and any opportunity we have to engage with the public is a positive one for us.”

Kids got to learn about where the ingredients of their favourite foods come from in the 7th annual pizza farm.

Pizza Farm in its 7th year of teaching kids By Cory Carlick Staff Writer The educational Pizza Farm tours have spread throughout the province, helping kids to understand not only just where food comes from, but also the work that goes into bringing it to the table. Now in its seventh year, the tour, which originated in Yorkton, has grown with the support of numerous sponsors within the agricultural community to see what goes into their favourite foods. The concept is simple, and effective. Take a food that kids love, such as pizza; trace the ingredients from their source to the plate. Pizza is especially ideal given every major food group is represented -- especially vegetables. “It’s our seventh year,” said Rachel Kraynick, Agriculture Program Specialist of the Ministry of Agriculture. “We work with a lot of partners in agriculture within the community to show Grade 3 and 4 students everything they need to know about agriculture in different areas. “We’ve got animals, we’ve got grains, we’ve got technology, equipment, safety -- all of that important stuff.” “The kids come out in the springtime in the Grade threes, about where their food comes from and all the different sectors of the industry,” said Cassidy Wagner, Marketing Advisor of Pattison Agriculture. “Then, they come back full time as Grade 4 students to see the full har-

vest of all the crops and all the animals out here. “It takes a lot of volunteers from the industry to make this project happen. We’ve had commitment from a lot of partners for the last seven years to make it a go. The Ministry and Pattison Ag have been organizing it. We’ve had contributions from Yorkton New Holland, and Farm Credit Canada. “Bayer Crop Science, donated the land for us to seed the pizza farm at, and they not only seed the plots, they also look after them. So, throughout the summer, Bayer’s been a big partner in this project. We have new players come onboard, including Royal Bank.” “Each plot of the pizza grows a different crop,” explains Kraynick. “We make the connection on how a crop is connected to pizza. So, for example, if we’re a slice of wheat, we talk about how wheat is ground up to make flour that goes into the dough of the pizza. Actually, in the springtime, Domino’s Pizza donates pizza for all the students that come out. “This year, we have 360 students from ten different schools; from the Good Spirit School Division and Christ the Catholic School Divisions. I think it’s one of our biggest food farms this year, and it continues to grow. “We actually started off doing pizza farm as a one day event in the spring and one day in the fall, but its become so popular that we’ve had to move it to two days in

the spring and two days in the fall. “It’s a lot of organizing, but thankfully today the weather’s cooperating.” “It’s really good,” says Wagner, but she adds: “We’re actually here rain or shine. It doesn’t matter -- we try to make sure that we’re accomodating to all the kids that make plans and volunteers that take time out of their schedule. We’re just happy to have people so excited about the program.” “I think another thing to mention, too, is a lot of these students have never set foot on a farm,” says Kraynick. “I think that’s where I feel like we’re making the biggest difference is when you get kids from the city coming and seeing how their food grows, where it comes from -talking to a farmer! A producer. Asking questions. I think that’s something that they’ll never forget and always remember. “It really makes them look at their plate at night at the supper table. Look at their plate a little differently and think about all the things it takes -what goes in to making the food that they eat at the supper table.” “Another thing too, that the hope is, is that we get to address some of the hot button issues in agriculture,” adds Wagner. “In the media, where you hear a lot of things like plant based protein, you hear things like hormones and antibiotics and beef production. We want to educate consumers and students about

The Richardson booth talked a little bit about food choices.

these issues and understand that our food producers work really hard to grow healthy, nutritious and safe food for the world. So I think that’s a really important thing to stress.” The subject of pizza as the central dish of choice had an interesting origin. “It was myself and the livestock specialist, where eight years ago we attended a youth conference,” recalled Kraynick. “At this conference in Regina, they were talking about how young people were so disconnected from agriculture, and [how] they don’t understand where their food comes from. If you ask them, ‘Where does the milk in your fridge come from?’ they all say, ‘The grocery store.’ So, at this conference they were talking about this

need to educate youth. So on the way back from this conference, Naomi Paley and I were talking about what can we do in Yorkton to make a difference and educate youth because we had connections with classrooms to do agriculture presentations with a ton of industry partners that would be willing to help. “We thought, what better way to learn than hands on. Learn to do by doing. If we can get some land, seed some plots, let’s see if we can make this happen. It was kind of our idea eight years ago, and here we are seven years later; seventh pizza farm [with] the Ministry of Agriculture. “Yorkton was actually the very first food farm in the province, but this idea took off, and actually there’s eleven food farms throughout the province,

now. “Agriculture in the Classroom (a program) has developed a manual, so if anyone wants to start a food farm at their own farm, Agriculture in the Classroom would send them a free manual with speaking notes and scripts for each of the stations. So if they had enough volunteers to help them out, they could definitely access that resource and do a food farm right off their own farm. I think that’s super cool, too.” For those interested the topic of food production, on October 8, there will be a panel discussion at Parkland College for students about food procurement and wellness. A livestock and environment specialist, the manager of Save On Foods and a registered dietitian will be on staff.

Politics On the eve of last week’s election call, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe talked about this campaign as one that will either mend or further tear the fabric of our nation. “This is the crossroads that we are faced with this fall: Do we want to move forward as these regions of Canada, bickering amongst one another talking about who’s closer with the federal government?” he told the Regina LeaderPost’s Arthur White-Crummey. “Or do we want to actually set our differences aside and move forward as one strong nation, as a nation that is really proud of one another and proud of all our regions of Canada and how we create our wealth?” In a federal election campaign expected to be nasty — made much more so by the echo chamber that is social media — Moe’s words should resonate with us all. Polite political conversation has often ended with “they’re all the same” or “they’re all bad.” It was always good form for those who subscribed to the bygone notion that religion and politics to provide answers with which all could agree. Well, in this era of social media, it polite conversation doesn’t much exist anymore. Tune into FaceBook or Twitter and one quickly discovers no shortage of hardened political opinions that aren’t to be dissuaded by reasoned conversation. While the Internet and the social media craze it spawned was supposed to be the great democratizer, one obvious problem is the way it seems to confine people to their own silos where they choose to only listen to others who share their views and with whom they always agree. It’s why they call social media an echo chamber and echo chambers can be a dangerous places when people living in them insist on hearing only what they want hear. It is as unhealthy as allowing your kids to eat only what they want to eat. This takes us back to the bigger issues Moe is talking about during this election campaign — the notion that we are at a crossroads and that we need to set partisanship and personality aside and start thinking about how to build a country. If ever we needed critical thought and respective, meaningful debate, now would seem to be the time. This is not say that voters shouldn’t have strong convictions — especially, when it comes to what they think is right for themselves and others in their areas. In areas like rural Saskatchewan where dwindling town, small city and farming populations are a reality, it’s more important than ever for people to stand up and have their voices heard. That said, Moe isn’t talking about sacrificing core beliefs this campaign. Or at least, that certainly isn’t what he intends to do. “I’ll call ‘em as I see ‘em, and the same will hold true through the federal election campaign,” Moe said in the Leader-Post interview. That said, the Saskatchewan Premier noted there is a need to “recognize provincial plans” including “strong action in our specific regions” on issues like climate change. Obviously, he was referring to his government’s own opposition to a national carbon tax and how a country can be divided because regions don’t understand each others economic interests. Surely, this has been one of the true frustrations driving Western alienation the past four years. But it cuts both ways, requiring those of us out West to understand during this national election campaign that those in other who have their own interests that may be different than our own. Elections must always be about ideas — some of which you may disagree but all of which deserve to be respectfully heard. As Moe said, it’s the only way to move forward as stronger nation. Murray Mandryk has been covering provincial politics for over 22 years.

◆Editorial◆

The opportunity to vote hard won right S o we are headed to a vote Oct. 21, to elect the next edition of Canada’s federal government. In the next month leading up to the vote we will be inundated by efforts to get people voting for one political party, or another. Locally in the YorktonMelville riding it is anticipated at least five parties will be running candidates, although the official list as of this writing sits at only three-confirmed; Conservative Party of Canada, Green Party, and the new People’s Party of Canada. It will be up to each of us, as eligible voters, to wade through the rhetoric of political campaign advertising, and the vehement positions of many who turn to social media to make their voices heard, to determine which party has the best vision for our country. Overlaying the need to delve beyond the media sheen to get at the heart of party policy is a need to determine which among the local candidates can get our local issues heard within their own caucuses, and of course in Parliament itself. It is not always about towing party lines like automatons on an assembly line. There are times when the local constituency needs will run counter to a party’s overall platform, and our local representative should have the intestinal fortitude to stand up for the constituency over the party itself at times. Those are difficult things for voters to ascertain, but we each should make the effort over the coming weeks. Then on Oct. 21, we each need to get out and vote. Sitting at home and not taking part in the democratic process does little to help fashion the future Canada we want.

It is interesting, as just prior to sitting down to write this week’s editorial the new season of the long-running Canadian television series Murdoch Mysteries aired. The underlying theme of the episode was the efforts of women to garner the right to vote. “Women’s suffrage in Canada occurred at different times in different jurisdictions and at different times to different demographics of women. Women’s right to vote began in the three prairie provinces. In 1916, suffrage was given to women in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. The federal government granted limited wartime suffrage to some women in 1917, and followed with full suffrage in 1918. By the close of 1922, all the Canadian provinces, except Quebec, had granted full suffrage to white and black women. Newfoundland, at that time a separate country, granted women suffrage in 1925. Women in Quebec did not receive full suffrage until 1940,” details Wikipedia. That is just more than 100-year ago that women faced the uphill climb to vote alongside men. And as this election will happen only three weeks ahead of Remembrance Day, we shouldn’t forget either how many Canadians died in wars that in large part were fought to maintain our freedom so that something as important as casting ballots in elections was maintained. Thinking about such Herculean efforts in the past surrounding the desire to vote and keep that freedom, getting out on Oct. 21 is something that is not only about securing a future we desire, but it honours those who came before us to ensure we have that right today.

Letters to the Editor

Saskatchewan’s educational landscape is changing Dear Editor:

The following is a formal response from the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation to Murray Mandryk’s September 12, 2019 column in Yorkton This Week, Teachers reveal urban/rural divide. The STF Teachers’ Bargaining Committee posted the Objectives for Teachers’ Provincial Collective Bargaining document publicly on May 22, 2019 on the Federation website, www.stf.sk.ca. In reading the document, Mr. Mandryk will find that

classroom size and class composition is a top priority for our membership. This topic is certainly not an easy one to table during any negotiation cycle, but if there is one thing we can all agree upon, it is the fact that this issue is highly relevant in both rural and urban schools. Class size and class composition need to be considered in tandem, as they are interwoven. In his column, Mr. Mandryk mentioned that rural teachers have enjoyed more one-on-one time with their students for decades. While this may

be true in many classrooms, the composition of the class can greatly increase the complexity. Many classrooms, rural and urban, are multi-graded with two and sometimes three or more different grades in a room. Rural and urban teachers alike welcome new Canadians and those with intensive needs into their classrooms. Teachers, both rural and urban, are concerned about meeting the complex needs of their students in a system that is not responding to change. The Federation,

through negotiations, wants to have this conversation and work with decision makers to create a process and methodology that provides data and evidence about the needs of students. With this information, evidence-based decisions can be made regarding the appropriate funding required to ensure all students receive the quality education they deserve and that teachers are working hard to provide. This is not a divisive issue. All teachers agree that classrooms continue

to grow and are becoming more diverse with less support. Mr. Mandryk is correct; teachers are asking for a fair and reasonable salary increase after the arbitrator awarded a 0-0-1 percent compensation rate during the last cycle of bargaining. Again, that information is available in the public Objectives for Teachers’ Provincial Collective Bargaining document.

The Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation represents more than 13,500 teachers employed in the province’s PreK-12 publicly funded public education system. Patrick Maze President, Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation

Special medals for veterans Dear Editor,

I would like to inform your readers about two very special medals that are available for our veterans. These are the National Order of the Legion of Honour from France and the Ambassador for Peace Medal from the Republic of Korea. Our veterans of the Second World War and the Korean War have both fought hard and made tremendous sacri-

fices, and they have both won the greatest level of respect and thanks we can give them. The Government of France is awarding their highest medal to all living Canadian veterans who directly helped to liberate their country between June 6 and August 30, 1944. The Republic of Korea is presenting its Ambassador for Peace Medal to all Canadian Veterans who participat-

ed in the Korean War and its peace keeping operations between 1950 and 1955. Living veterans or the families of veterans who have passed away may be eligible to receive this special medal from Korea. If you are a veteran or know someone that is, and who might be eligible for one of these important medals, please contact me. I am an

unofficial volunteer who is willing to help you with your application. There is no fee involved. For more information please contact Mr. Guy Black C/O, 515 - 95 Moody Street, Port Moody, BC, V3H 0H2. Thank you Guy Black Recipient, Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation and the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers

Take responsibility for dogs Dear Editor:

This letter is for the ignorant, disrespectful dog owner who walks his/ her unleashed dog and lets it do it’s business on my lawn. The same person who had the time to take a picture of my sign regarding the above problem and send it to the City Bylaw Dept. saying he/she was offended

by it but didn’t have the time to pick up his/her dog’s mess. Do you not think I was offended having to pick up your dog’s mess or leave it and get it in my lawnmower bag? As a result the dog catcher came to my door to inform me of the complaint and to remove the sign then had the audacity to suggest as an

alternative I could put up a fence (at my expense of course). Well it will be a fine and frosty Friday and a snowball won’t have a chance where it’s going before I do that. Just another case of the law protecting the guilty instead of the innocent! So guilty, ignorant dog owner, seeing as how the dog catcher doesn’t

Council Meeting Monday, September 30, 2019 at 5:00 p.m. BYLAW FAST FACTS Alley Tree Maintenance

Did you know? The Property Standards Bylaw (No. 18/2017) states that the owner or occupant of a property is responsible for maintaining trees and shrubs that overhang or protrude into the alley. Such trees are required to be trimmed to the edge of the alley roadway to a minimum height of four (4) metres. This allows free and clear passage of vehicles through the alley. Why does the City regulate this? The City of Yorkton has not planted any trees or vegetation in alleys, and all trees and vegetation in alleys are deemed owned by the adjacent property owner. The goal is to provide free and clear vehicle traffic through alleys by maintaining alley vegetation.

Keeping ag relevant in election will take effort While we all knew it was coming, we now have an official date to go to the polls to elect our federal representatives. To start, we all need to mark Monday, Oct. 21 on our calendars and make sure we all take the opportunity a free democracy offers us by casting a vote. The trend toward less and less eligible voters actually casting ballots is disheartening when many in the world can only dream of the freedom to do so living under various stripes of dictatorship preventing the simple act of putting an ‘X’ on a ballot. As for the farm sec-

tor, the issue over the next month is how to put the sector into the mix as an issue candidates truly care about. Here on the Canadian Prairies candidates are going to nod knowingly when asked about the importance of the sector, but does their concern, or ours as voters play at the table when the federal parties sit down to develop policy? The problem for parties is many when it comes to how much focus to put on agriculture, starting with the limited number of seats where farmers are a significant portion of voters. We might like to hope that such things

Agriculture THIS WEEK

Calvin Daniels are not a factor, but the truth of one vote per person puts greater importance on urban constituencies than those that are mostly farm/rural. It becomes ever harder to sell major agriculture investments to city-dwelling voters who have limited understanding of farming, or

its importance to the greater Canadian economy. Then within the farm sector there is the problem of finding policy that covers most producers. What is good news for a wheat or canola producer on the Prairies doesn’t necessarily res-

onate with a potato producer in Prince Edward Island, or a wine producer in British Columbia. And of course the opposite is also true. Support for fish farmers or a flower grower is not likely to be seen as particularly good news in Saskatchewan, even though it would be support for the broader sector of agriculture. It has to be a conundrum for federal parties to sit down to work on policy and representatives from across the country find some agreement that more should be done for farmers, but then they offer up a dozen divergent ideas based on the type

of farmers in their area of the country. It is simply not as easy to develop meaningful national agriculture policy as, for example putting more dollars to be spread out for municipal infrastructure renewal, or senior housing. So the onus will be on voters here to make sure to listen closely to what each party is saying in terms of farm policy, and to ask candidates how they plan to be heard in Ottawa in terms of supporting Prairie agriculture. Calvin Daniels is Editor with Yorkton This Week.

Progress with harvest despite weather

Submitted Photos by Kristina Just

Under the lights When weather conditions allow, this year too infrequently so far this fall, farmers are in the field getting on with the harvest. That effort can often include going

well into the night as was the case at the farm of Jeff and Kristina Just west of Yorkton recently, as they turned on the lights to finish up a field.

Despite rainfall and cool weather producers were able to make some harvest progress this week, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s weekly Crop Report. Eighteen per cent of the crop is now in the bin, up from 11 per cent last week but well behind the five-year (2014-2018) average of 43 per cent for this time of year. Twenty-five per cent of the crop is now swathed or ready to straight-cut. Warm, windy and dry weather is needed for producers to return to the field. Harvest is most advanced in the southwest region, where 31 per cent of the crop is now combined. The southeast region has 24 per cent combined and the west-central region 18 per cent. The east-central and northeast regions have eight per cent combined while the northwest region has seven per cent. Eighty-three per cent of the fall rye, 79 per cent of the winter wheat, 66 per cent of the field peas, 63 per cent of the lentils, 28 per cent of the barley, 10 per cent of the durum, seven per cent of the spring wheat and four per cent of the canola is now in the bin. An additional 36 per cent of the canola is swathed or is ready to straightcut. Estimated average crop yields for the province are 39 bushels per acre for field peas, 1,452 pounds per acre for lentils, 35 bushels per acre for canola, 23 bushels per acre for flax, 36 bushels per acre for durum, 42 bushels per acre for spring wheat and 66 bushels per acre for barley. A large portion of the province received rainfall last week, ranging from trace amounts to 51 mm in the Big Beaver area. Across the province, topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as 17 per cent surplus, 75 per cent adequate and eight per cent short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as three per cent surplus, 84 per cent adequate, 11 per cent short and two per cent very short. Most crop damage this past week was due to localized flooding, strong winds, light frost and hail. There have been some reports of crops bleaching and sprouting in areas with excess moisture. Farmers are waiting for favorable weather so they can continue with harvest operations.

Matter of health to know your status by Dick DeRyk It seemed, to me, a rather unnecessary question. We were talking about HIV and hepatitis C. I was asked by Candice Nelson, who runs the Society for the Involvement of Good Neighbours (SIGN) Positive Impact program, if I knew my HIV and hep C status. Well, I said, I’m not in any of the groups of people who would be at risk for that, if that’s what you mean. That’s not what she meant. “But do you KNOW your status?” she asked again. Um, no, not really. Don’t think I’ve ever been tested for that, despite having had more blood tests than ever in the past

five years for some other issues I’ve dealt with. I checked back into my previous blood test results (I signed up for eHealth way back when, and get all my test results online within a day or two), and found that yes, there were lots of tests for “hepatic function”, which indicates how well your liver is working and whether you might be at risk for hepatitis. But it does not tell you if you are at risk for viral hepatitis, which includes hep C. Here are a few other things I didn’t know: those born between 1945 and 1975 are a group at greater risk for hep C. Turns out that 75 per cent of people with hepatitis C living on the prairies are in that age group,

and that includes me. I am in the higher risk group but had no inkling. And an estimated 44 per cent of people with chronic hepatitis C in Canada don’t even know they have it! As Candice would ask, do they know their status? Nope! As far as HIV, I had never been tested for that. Apparently I could have been if I had asked for it, but it is generally not included in a complete blood workup ordered by a family doctor. Why not? Well, how would you feel if your doctor told you he was testing for HIV? Would you be offended that he might think your lifestyle needs that type of test? Would you be concerned about the stigma 19093SS2 19093SS3

attached to HIV? That’s the problem: the stigma of it all... what other people will think. As a result we don’t know as much as we think we know about our own bodies. We don’t want to ask, or don’t want others to ask, or don’t want to know. How dumb is that? Pretty dumb, I decided. So when SIGN Positive Impact and the Turning Point program with Saskatchewan Health Authority Public Health Department observed National HIV Testing Day and offered tests in Yorkton and Kamsack in June, I went for it. It’s a simple process. They take a drop of blood from the end of your finger and put it on a test strip. It provides instant

feedback if HIV should be of a concern to you. And they take a vial of blood and send it away to the lab for detailed testing. Within a few days I had my results online -- everything tested normal. And a few days after that, a public health nurse phoned to discuss the results with me. Normal. Did I have any questions? No, but if anything had been abnormal, I would have wanted to know more, and she would have been more than willing to get into details with me. We all have an HIV status. And a hepatitis status. I now know mine, and that’s a feel-good thing, and something I probably should have checked into long ago.

But didn’t. An estimated 14 per cent of people with HIV in Canada are unaware of their status, and Saskatchewan has nearly triple the Canadian rate of people living with HIV. By the way, there are more ways to contact HIV than unsafe sexual activity. It can be spread by blood-to-blood contact, sharing needles and other drug use equipment, and sharing equipment used for tattooing, piercing or acupuncture. Or if a mother has HIV, known or unknown, she can pass it on to her baby. Free HIV and hep C testing is available from many sources. Ask your family physician or nurse practitioner; stop at any health centre emergency room weekdays between 8:30 am and 4 pm to request the HIV test; call Turning Point in Yorkton at 306-786-0637 (it’s located at SIGN on Broadway); or call your local Public Health office. Need to talk? Contact Candice at SIGN Positive Impact by phone or text at 306-5907994 or email c.nelson@ signyorkton.ca. And what if you do test positive for hep C or HIV? Well, times have changed a lot since the early days of the HIV/AIDS crisis some 40 years ago. Hep C can be cured and HIV can essentially be put to sleep. So even if you did test positive there is help, there is hope, and there is a team of professionals available at Public Health and at SIGN so you don’t go it alone. None of those people will judge you for getting tested, or for the test results. All of them will tell you that making sure you know your status is the smart thing to do. Dick DeRyk is a longtime Yorkton resident, writer and business owner providing communications services to SIGN, among many other things.

Planning a hunting or fishing trip? Sask Party cuts are making it harder.

Premier Scott Moe is shutting down 19 field offices and eliminating front-line services that hunters and anglers rely on for licenses, permits, and local expertise. It’s getting frustrating. Whether it’s gutting fishing and hunting services, or removing and privatizing services like STC, the Sask Party keeps cutting our rural services.

New book draws on Yorkton experience By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer A new book by Richard Doornink; 1967 – a coming of age story has its roots firmly set in Yorkton. “I was born in Winnipeg in 1958,” relates the author. “In September 1966 we moved to Yorkton where we spent the next three years, and which almost all of the material for 1967 – a coming of age story came from.” The stay in Yorkton was a short one, the family moving to Toronto in 1969, but it left a lasting impression on Doornink. “I consider the period in Yorkton my coming of age period, at least in so far as transitioning from a child mostly unaware, to a child somewhat aware of life around him,” he said. Writing was long an interest for Doornink but it would take years for that interest to result in a book. “I was originally a high school dropout,” he said. “My career has been split between the creative world and the business world. “I’ve been an entrepreneur since I was 23 when I started my first company Cantesco Corporation, which I successfully grew into a worldwide manufacturer of welding chemicals. I set up an operation in North Tonawanda, NY in the early nineties, hence the Buffalo connection today (he currently splits his time between Buffalo, New York; Venice, Florida; and Lion’s Head, Ontario.) “As for the creative side, I’ve studied painting, photography, and was involved for a time in independent Canadian film as a production manager and post-production coordinator working with John Martin-Manteiga. John was a big influence for me both from an architecture appreciation aesthetic, as well as a writer.” In terms of writing Doornink said, “It all started way back in Mr. Kahro’s English class in high school. I still have the stories I wrote back then. Later in life I decided to go to university as a mature student, and went to York University. “After realizing business classes were not what I was interested in, I decided to study the two things I did enjoy, political science and film. I ultimately graduated with a fine arts degree with a focus on French and Italian cinema. “The last few courses at York University kind of brought me back to thinking about writing again. “After completing a long first draft in 2014, I realized I was still far from understanding the craft, so in 2015 I completed the Humber School for Writers post-graduate creative writing program. It was through the School for Writers that my skill set improved immensely, and I was fortunate to work with a terrific mentor, Isabel Huggan, an award winning Canadian author herself.” But was the germ of an idea for the book? “The idea for the book stems from a number of

In September 1966 we moved to Yorkton where we spent the next three years, and which almost all of the material for 1967 – a coming of age story came from. — Richard Doornink things,” said Doornink. “While going to York University I took a studio class that focused on performance art, and also a film and video production class. I had terrific teachers but the one that heavily influenced me was Brenda Longfellow, an award winning Canadian filmmaker and York University professor. It was her class from which the genesis for 1967 came about, although at the time I didn’t really recognize it. “One of the aspects of the class we studied was the focus, particularly from the Canadian perspective, of the role of memory in our history. One of the projects we did was a short, incamera ‘home movie’. In the making of the home movie a long buried memory I had, surfaced. That’s where “1967 – a coming of age story” really started. From this single, buried memory.” The book is Doornink’s first, coming from the memory he ultimately had to share. “I think for me it wasn’t about whether the book was worth writing as much as it was I simply had to write,” he said. “I had always wanted to write, it was finally time to make a commitment to learning how to write, and then write. “The worth in the book, at least for me, is in talking to people who

have read it. Listening to their takeaways. The things they liked about the book. The emotions it provokes within them. The characters they identify with. “There is a great joy, a pleasure in hearing their reactions to the things I’ve written. I quickly found out how a book becomes everyone else’s, once it’s published, it’s a very powerful, inter-connected relationship.” As Doornink’s first book, he admits he learned a lot about the creative process in its writing. “One of the things I’ve learned about writing is to let the story come to you, and that’s what happened here,” he related. “The book initially started with a short story, the birthday story. As I started writing more consistently, I wrote a second short story, and then a third. “When I stepped back and looked at the stories, what intrigued me was that all three stories were located in Yorkton. This was an eye opener in the sense that this particular time and place had such a major effect on me, at least at a subconscious level. “Once I had several Yorkton based short stories drafted, I realized I needed a way to sort them out, and at that point I thought, maybe I have a book here. It was

Richard Doornink’s first book draws heavily on his time in Yorkton. a case of writing first and sort of prepping second, which I found not to be very effective.” But did the book come together as Doornink had imagined initially it would? “There was a lot of work in terms of flow, it was my first book and you obviously learn as you go,” he said. “My second book, a much larger book, and my third book,

have both gotten off to an easier start as a result of working through the first book. I have a better handle on the story outline and plot development processes from the first book experience.” And what is now the best aspect of the book from the author’s perspective? “Its simplicity,” said Doornink. “The book has a lot of things going on inside of it, but it was deliberately written in a simple style as I tried to write from the mind of a young boy, as he would have thought and reacted. As a result, many readers have come back and said it’s an easy read. “I was a bit offended in the beginning when I heard that, but I came to realize the book allows the reader to read the way they want to read, at a pace and depth they want to put into, or take out of, the book.” Ultimately Doornink looks at the book as a good first foray into the art of writing. “Considering this was my first book, yes. I know I’m a better writer today and would love to start the book again with the new skills I have, but you have to let that go,” he said. “As a debut novel I think it’s strongly written, has gotten great reviews and, more importantly, people enjoy reading it. You can’t ask for more than that.” The next step is finding the right audience. “The challenge within the book industry, as elsewhere in life, is you need to be slotted into a category for selling purposes,” said Doornink. “My initial target audience was the 50 and up age group in so far as they could relate to the

time and place. I tested the third draft with a readers group that fit that demographic, evenly split between men and women. “I also wanted to see if the book had a North American appeal, and half of the 12 readers I approached were American. The feedback was that the book read as well in middle America as it did in the middle of the prairies. “Having said that, I also believe there is a young adult audience for the book. I’ve also had positive feedback from a sort of middle age audience (30’s and 40’s). So, at the risk of making the book harder to sell, the appeal is fairly wide ranging. “The point is, the basic themes, what we know as children, what adults don’t talk to kids about, the experiences of being a new kid, of trying to fit into school, coming of age, are fairly universal, at least in North America. All is to say, the book appeals to a number of audiences for a variety of reasons.” More will follow from the author. “My second book Buffalo – A Love Story, a historical fiction set in Buffalo, NY spanning 40-years, is currently in first draft form, and will hopefully be in the editing stages before the end of the year,” he said. “My third book Twelve Stories About Fire, a fiction about love, is in second draft form waiting for me to get back to it after I finish the ‘Buffalo’ book.” The author is planning to have a book reading at the Yorkton Public Library in October, as well as a signing at Coles in the Parkland Mall.

First hort society meeting set for day This is a busy week! To start, the first fall meeting of the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society will be held on Wednesday, September 18 at 7:00 p.m. at SIGN on North Street, Yorkton. Special guest speaker will be John Tropin doing a fascinating presentation about their trip to Holland, including the world-famous Keukenhof gardens. The Keukenhof website (www.holland.com) says that “Keukenhof is a park where more than 7 million flower bulbs are planted every year. Gardens and four pavilions show a fantastic collection of: tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, orchids, roses, carnations, irises, lilies and many other flowers. You will be overwhelmed by a spectacle of colors and perfumes.” Imagine how beautiful that must be! We’ll see pictures of it in John’s presentation at the meeting. Everyone is welcome, and remember, you don’t have to be a member of the group to come to the meeting! Then on Friday, it’s our Fall Plant and Bulb Sale on Friday, September 20 from 9:30 a.m. till 5 p.m. (or while plants last) at the Parkland Mall, Yorkton. This is a fine time to plant new additions to your garden; they’ll get settled in nicely before winter. If you’re looking for certain plants, be there when the sale begins for best selection! Though we hate to think about it, the time has come where we have to start bringing in some of our plants. We all have favorite plants that we hope to keep over, so how do we do it? First, some housekeeping jobs. We have to check our plants and be sure that we trim off any damaged or diseased leaves and branches. These trimmings must go into the garbage, not the compost. Next, we have to check to be sure that there are no pests of

A13

DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

Gardener’s Notebook any kind on or under the leaves or on the stems. If there are, it’s time for our plants to have the spa treatment: a good bath with insecticidal soap, then a gentle rinse with clear water. I have read about making our own insecticidal soap, but it’s more than mixing up dishwashing detergent with water. Some dishwashing soaps have ingredients that may be harsh on the plants, so if we are going to be using any kind of soap on our plants, we may as well use the kind that is meant especially for them for best results. After this, we can bring them in to the house. A few notes: we shouldn’t wait until the air turns very cold before bringing the plants in. The extreme difference in temperature will be a shock to their systems, resulting in problems such as leaf loss. Bring them in gently before the cold air arrives. We should also try and find a spot in our homes that has the same amount of light that the plant had when it was growing

outside. And we should avoid extremes of temperature like placing the plant near a register or a drafty door or window. Transplanting our plants into new containers is sometimes necessary, but we should remember that this will cause them stress and set them back, in addition to the stress of moving them to a new location. So if we can, it’s good to leave them in the containers where they are currently living. I know some gifted gardeners take slips of some of their plants and keep their favorites going in this manner. When our plants are moved, we have to remember that they may not dry out as quickly as they did when they were outside, so we must check each one before watering. But with our help, and a little luck, our plants will make it over the winter and give us a beautiful show again next spring! Visit the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society at www.yorktonhort.ca, and have a great week!

Only three candidates is embarrassing

Ross Fisher of the Health Foundation, left. accepts a donation in memory of Don Happy from Bill Kreway.

Donation in memory of Don Happy Over 100 friends and family gathered together on Saturday, August 31st to hold a golf tournament in memory of Don Happy and to celebrate his life. “There were people from all over the province,” said Bill Kreway who was one of the organizers of the event. “Don worked with golf courses all over the province and enjoyed a great relationship with his customers. He also had friends everywhere and clearly he made an impression on people because there were many people who traveled to attend the golf tournament.”

A bench in memory of Don Happy was purchased with the proceeds of the tournament; the bench was placed at Good Spirit Resort. The family requested that the balance of the proceeds be donated to The Health Foundation. “Don Happy and his family have been very good supporters of The Health Foundation for years and we are very pleased to receive this donation from the tournament in his memory,” said Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation.

I’ve been sitting in variations of this chair for several elections so my position on safe elections is quite clear. I hate them. More than that, I hate it when parties let them happen. Right now, in YorktonMelville, both the Liberal and NDP parties have blank spaces where candidates should be. I assume that by the time the nomination runs out, they will put some sort of name on a ballot, possibly even by the time this hits print. But the fact is that they’re late, and that’s embarrassing, it gives the impression they’re just giving up on the riding. The reason I hate it when a candidate has an easy ride has nothing to do with the candidate or their party. This has nothing to do with who I may or may not vote for – which I’m not going to tell you, by the way – because that’s not why I feel it matters. Instead, it is entirely a matter of voter engagement. It is easy to just dismiss the election if you think it’s a foregone conclusion. If you like the candidate with the incumbent party, you think, fine, they’re just going to ride into office anyway and you don’t have to worry about it. You can just shut everything off and ignore it, and don’t bother voting. On the other hand, if you’re not a fan of the incumbent, you might think, whatever, there’s nothing you can do about it anyway, so you ignore everything, assume it’s

DEVIN WILGER

Thinking I do with words... all futile, shut everything off and ignore it. Again, you don’t bother voting. Voter engagement goes down, voter turnout decreases, and at a certain point, why even bother with democracy? If everyone is just going to ignore what’s happening why even bother with voting at all? That frustrates me, and it’s part of the reason why I’m always against a safe seat. I want to see whoever wins on Oct. 21 to have earned it. I want them to have run a solid campaign, worked hard to connect with voters, showed up at things like the Chamber of Commerce All Candidates Forum and other events which give people a chance to compare them to their rivals, and really work hard over the next month to win over the population. And whatever I, personally, think of their campaign, I want to feel as though they earned it. This is nothing against Cathay Wagantall, the incumbent MP. She is ready to campaign, as she should be. And I hope that she’s running her campaign as though there are challengers all around her, rather than it

being a foregone conclusion. I hope every single incumbent MP in the country is running like they have to fight to stay in their seats. It’s also nothing against Ryan Schultz or Stacey Wiebe, who are both new challengers. I hope they’re working as hard as they can to put in a strong campaign, get their name out there, and find supporters. In fact, I applaud all three of them, because they are already candidates. I want all three to put in the best campaign they can, and I hope they’re working as hard as possible to convince you, me and everyone else that they’re the right person to head to Ottawa. But the fact that two major parties are not ready to campaign in this riding is an embarrassment, and I hope that whoever they nominate hits the ground running and campaign hard, and make me, as a voter, forget their tardiness. Because whoever heads to Ottawa after this election, they aren’t going to have an easy four years. They shouldn’t have an easy month when they’re trying to make that trip in the first place.

The Holy Trinity Anglican church was the host of a garage sale of their own from Sept. 5-7, with a variety of deals for shoppers to find, spread across two

rooms in the church. The sale also featured a bake sale provided by church members.

The real truth about Nana’s fake news

I spouted a mouthful of fake news at lunch the other day. To the grandchildren, no less. With a federal election pending, it seemed natural that the discussion around our table turned to politics. “Nana,” asked one of the children asked, “does God discipline bad kings?” “Well,” I said, “When people disobey God, there are always consequences. Even for kings.” “Like what?” someone asked. I scrambled for biblical examples. “Remember Daniel in the Bible?” I asked, “The Daniel who got thrown into the lions’ den, but God shut the lions’ mouths and saved him?”

They did. “Well, Daniel worked for one king named Nebuchadnezzar. A proud king, who thought he was so great that people should worship him. He had a really big banquet one night, and suddenly, out of nowhere, a hand — just a hand, no arm — appeared and started writing words on the wall.” The children’s eyes widened as I recited the actual words, which strangely, I’ve recalled since childhood: “Mene, mene, tekel upharsin.” I went on to explain that bottom line of those words: God wasn’t pleased with the king, and the kingdom would soon be taken from him.

“What happened then?” one of the children asked. “Well,” I said, “He went kinda crazy. He ended up living in a field with the beasts, crawling on all fours, eating grass like a donkey. For awhile, he couldn’t be king anymore.” Suddenly the Preacher, who had just

entered the room, inserted himself into the conversation — a distinct departure from habit. Standing to his full six feet plus height, and with as much fire in his eyes as I’ve seen for years, he sputtered, “You… you…. you’re talking like someone who’s never been to church in your LIFE!” I felt rather prickly

suddenly. “Well. I’m not the Bible scholar. You are. So YOU straighten it out.” I also just may have mentioned that I’ve attended church most every week of my life, and for the last four decades, he’s been the preacher in the pulpit.

That was unfair of me. And it didn’t help, I think. He corrected the story. Apparently I’d named the wrong king, the wrong punishment, the wrong timing, and the wrong animal. (You can find the details at the source: Daniel chapters 1 – 6.) “Don’t you read your Bible, Nana?” one of the Beans asked after he left the room. That didn’t

help either. “I do, all the time,” I sniffed. “But I don’t remember everything.” (I didn’t mention that there are days lately when I congratulate myself for remembering my own name.) Later, during the night, I woke up thinking of my colossal tumble from grace. I started chuckling and couldn’t stop. I laughed so hard, I almost rolled off the bed. Details are vital, and I admit I need to review. But I got the bottom line right: God does bring consequences to people, nations, and leaders who flout his principles, and no one is exempt. Between the Preacher and me, the kids understood. And that news is accurate.

Terrier gets 25 game suspension from SJHL By Cory Carlick Staff Writer Yorkton Terrier Greg Mulhall has been handed a 25 game suspension for a collision that occured in Melville, at Saturday night’s game against the Millionaires. The Terriers took a solid 5-4 lead in game one Friday night, while Melville switched the script Saturday night, pulling forward for a 7-2 win. Then, what was almost a perfect day for Melville came to a sudden halt. With just over five minutes left to play, a race for the puck between Mulhall and Millionaires’ goaltender Berk Berkeliev ended in a brutal collision. After what many first responders would agree were perhaps a few too many attempts at encouraging the goaltender to get upright, Berkeliev was taken to the hospital for a head injury, an incident that made an already tense and subdued Melville crowd even more inaudible. Berkeliev was released from the hospital on Sunday morning. When asked by Yorkton This Week about the suspension Monday morning, SJHL commissioner Bill Chow allowed that this was a particularly long suspension. “I’ve been president for nine years, and this is certainly the longest suspension I’ve seen in the duration of my tenure. I can’t say offhand that this is categorically the longest suspension ever per se, but I wouldn’t be surprised [if it were].” Yorkton put a second goal into the net close to the end of the Saturday game, but it was too little too late for Ryan Granville, making it two for the Terriers and Nic Porterfield soon recovered that Millionaires six point lead with a couple of minutes left in play. Final score: 7-2 Melville. The Terriers emerged victorious in the first game of the season, putting Melville in its place 5-4.

The Mils’ Berkeliev in top form before attempting a poke check ending in a severe collision, culminating in a 25 game suspension for Terriers’ forward Greg Mulhall. What started as a shutout at Melville’s expense became a deadlock. While Yorkton held a solid lead in the majority of the first period, with 59 seconds left on the clock moving into second, the game very quickly turned into one of inches. The first period was marked by a strong offense, with the Terriers, interestingly, seemingly drawing strength from their penalties to advantage. Yorkton’s penalty kill resembled a power play, only adding fuel to the fire. Just as strong one man down as they were on the powerplay, a few solid shots on goal closed out the first 20 minutes. By the last minute of the period, though, the free ride was over. Melville finally broke through to the Terrier’s zone, netting their second goal of the night for a 2-2 tie, tempers flaring as the referees broke up a few punchouts. There were plenty of penalties to be had for the Terriers in the next period, but it didn’t seem to matter. Yorkton dominated their own penalty kill once again in the second period, controlling the puck well enough to have the crowd looking at the scoreboard to double check the power play. Red Bull may

give you wings, but the Terriers clearly didn’t need them -- all they needed was that powerplay. If Bono was still cold in the Yorkton net after the first period, he warmed up halfway through the second. A two man advantage was almost enough for Melville to take the lead, but a disallowed goal saved the tie a little while longer, thanks to stellar defense by the Terriers. The screaming and yelling of the crowd did little to improve the attentiveness of the referees, who let play go on nearly a full minute into a fight shortly after the Mils’ power play. Again, the refs appeared to have blinders on after an injury with two minutes left in the period. For reasons unknown, the referees seemed to lose sight of the game in the last quarter of the second period, failing to blow the whistle almost a full minute into a fight, and then once more after a Terrier was injured, forcing the team to assist him off of the ice while play continued. Asked later about the refs, Coach Mat Hehr was succinct. “Definitely some interesting calls, that’s for sure.”

Melville dominated the beginning of the third period, keeping the puck firmly in the Terriers’ zone almost the entire first half. Uncharacteristically clean hockey appeared on both sides, giving the refs a break from the whistle until late in the third, shortly after Melville had taken a two goal lead. After Melville’s fourth goal, jeers from certain younger members of the crowd were heard as they stormed out of the arena, but loyal fans who stuck around for the last six minutes were rewarded by an impressive comeback. With a 5-4 win, the two jeering fairweather fans may have some explaining to do in the schoolyard Monday morning. “We got into some penalty trouble, especially in the second period, but I thought our penalty kill was great. It really gave us a chance to win. Without them, it could have been a very ugly game,” said Hehr. Yorkton and Melville faced off once again, this time in enemy territory. The rivalry continued Saturday night in Melville at 7:30 pm, where the tone was much darker. Terriers were heavy on the penalty minutes in the first but

still solid on the kill, impressive goaltending surviving a Millionaires two man advantage early on in the period. Stellar goaltending on both sides kept the first period scoreless for the first fifteen minutes before Yorkton’s Ethan Robson broke the ice with their first goal with just over five minutes left on the clock. Two minutes later Melville Millionaires forward, Luke Nkwama, scores on the power play with two and a half minutes on the board, tying it up 1-1 at the end of the first. The second started out evenly matched on the ice as well as in the penalty box with very little center ice play as the teams sized each other up. Just as it was starting to look like a deadlock, Nkwama sinks another and the Mils take the lead with just over five minutes left in the second and widened the gap further with a third goal on the power play at 17:23 by Aidan Steinke. Third period action consisted of penalties, penalties and more penalties. This could have been a case study for the official rule book. The crowd sat stunned at the Horizon Credit Union Center as call after call was made; those penalty minutes including the first five minute major to the Terriers were the only numbers showing up on the scoreboard, until 11:52 left in the period when Brandon Larochelle scored on the power play for Melville, making it a three point lead for the Millionaires. Still on the power play from that Terriers five minute major, Luke Nkwama scores again for the hat trick. Two minutes later, it’s Deja vu all over again, Nkwama with a fourth goal bringing it to 6-1 for Melville. With the referees getting the most action, there was no repreive from the penalty calls as tempers started to flare. Next home game is Sept. 20 versus Notre Dame at 7:30 p.m.

Lacrosse and rugby take centre stage

The next month to six weeks will, for me, be the most interesting time in sports, not just this year, but quite possibly for some years to come. Why you might ask? Well read on and I share the exciting time it will be. To start with the World Indoor Lacrosse Championship begins Thursday in Langley, B.C. What we typically refer to as box lacrosse is right up near the top of my list in terms of sports I prefer to watch, second actually to rugby, so I am immediately interested. That the Canadian team at this championship includes five members of the Saskatchewan

Rush including; Mark Matthews, Robert Church, Ben McIntosh, Kyle Rubisch and Chris Corbeil, only makes this one more fun to watch. The rest of the roster and players on the American and Iroquois are also from National Lacrosse League teams, so many players will be very familiar to box lacrosse fans. As a side note the NLL schedule has been released and the Rush start their regular season on the road in Georgia on Dec. 1. As for the world championship Canada starts the event Thursday facing the United States, then

CALVIN DANIELS

Sports face England Friday. Sunday the opponents will be Israel, with the Iroquois Nationals rounding out Canada’s round robin action Monday. You will note the powers of box lacrosse are all in the same pool here among the 20-team event. This approach helps games in the event

be more competitive, and ensures some lesser lights advance to the playoff round for some important experience in terms of building the sport internationally. The championship, which wraps up Sept. 28, will have all 72 games available for viewing at www.laxsportsnetwork. com so fans can tune

in for some great box lacrosse action. Twenty teams will also be involved in the World Cup of Rugby which starts Friday with the host team from Japan taking on Russia. Canada is involved but are in a tough pool with defending champion New Zealand, South Africa, Italy and Namibia. Canada sees their first action next Thursday, (Sept. 26), against Italy, facing New Zealand Oct. 2, South Africa Oct. 8, and Namibia Oct. 13. Wins will be tough to come by as team Canada has struggled on the pitch in 15s rugby for a long while now, dating

back to the last World Cup when Canada failed to win a game, but it’s still rugby, my favourite sport, so I am DVRing games already. We are fortunate TSN has broadcast rights for the World Cup and they have a number of games scheduled, including the event opener with Japan and Russia, and of course the Canadian games. There will be lots of watching games while my better half sleeps, or she just might toss me into a scrum, but it will be a glorious six weeks, and the final is Saturday, Nov. 2, just as the Canadian Football League regular season wraps up and the playoffs take over my sporting interest.

Sacred Heart hosted all the volleyball action this weekend at the senior boys’ tournament.

Sacred Heart hosts senior boys’ volleyball Submitted Sacred Heart High School hosted its annual senior boys’ volleyball tournament on

September 13-14. The tournament consisted of eight teams: Sacred Heart, Langenburg, Tisdale, Melville, Moose Jaw-

Vanier, Hepburn, Nipawin and ReginaWinston Knoll. The volleyball tournament was a round robin format. In the round

robin the Saints team defeated Langenburg, Tisdale and Nipawin. After round robin play Sacred Heart placed 5th narrowly missing out of advancing to the bronze match. In the bronze match Melville defeated Hepburn in a close match 21-25, 25-20 and 15-10. The gold match was also a nail bitter as Vanier took the gold beating Winston Knoll 16-25, 25-22 and 15-9. “This was a great start to our season as half the team consists of rookie players” says coach

Curtis Moen. “The team’s confidence improved throughout the tournament as players began to feel comfortable in their court positions. The most improved athlete from last year was Rylan Bahrey who showed huge improvements in his hitting from the power position. Jairus Pellatt from the power position and Braydon Wasylyniuk from the middle position, laid down some bomb shell hits for the team over the weekend. Rookies Jon Fetsch and Braeden Zerff

stepped up to help the team in the back row keeping the ball alive. The team would like to thank all the parents for working the canteen and to our team sponsors this year for all their support: Ram Industries, Leon’s Manufacturing, Smith Steel, Premier Cabinets, Parkland College and A. Myrowich Home Hardware Building Centre. Next game action for the Saints is on September 27-28 as the team travels to Langenburg.

Junior Raiders on gridiron roll By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Junior Raider Gridders are rolling through their competition like a combine harvesting canola on a nice day. The team played Sunday at home and won 43-8 over the Regina Sun Devils. The win extended the Junior team’s record to a spotless 5-0. “We’re firing on all cylinders,” said their head coach Al Kyle with

a smile. Not only was Sunday’s win a lopsided one, but on the season the team has scored 213 points, allowing only the eight from the weekend. So, why the dominance? “We have good players at every position,” said Kyle, who noted last year there were some soft spots positionally. “This year we’re real good everywhere.” It helps the team has a roster of 40 players too. The ‘real good’ starts

are pivot where Grade 9 Jake Farrell is at the controls. Having a quarterback who can throw at the Junior level is a huge plus. “Most teams practice to stop the run,” said Kyle, so when a quarterback can make passes regularly “he can do whatever he wants out there.” And until Sunday the team had not allowed a touchdown, so the defence is solid, led by Tristan Watrych at linebacker and Taylor Spokowski at safety. “But, it really is a team effort,” said Kyle. Kyle also noted that Yorkton Minor Football is doing a great job of laying the foundation with players at an early age, noting when he played Junior football players were having to learn how to put on shoulder pads. Now they arrive at the Junior level wellcoached in minor football. “So now we can really focus on improving their skills,” he said. The Junior team plays again this Sunday at 2:45 at Century Field. They will also host a game at 12 noon Oct. 5.

Game offers interesting mechanic When Shobu arrived and I opened the box I was immediately taken by the aesthetics of this beauty designed by Manolis Vranas and Jamie Sajdak. The components really make this game appealing out of box before even looking at the ruleset. There are four etched wood game boards, two for each player. Nothing is better than real wood for game boards, especially abstract strategy game boards. A player gets one dark and one light board on their side which are

considered your home boards. There is a cotton dividing rope which basically divides the play area to define which side is which players. It is absolutely unnecessary but adds to the overall medieval Japanese feel to this game, which of course starts with its name. The pieces here, 16 for each player, are black and white polished river stones, which is just plain awesome. Game play in terms of rules is super simple. On your turn, first move one of your stones

goal is to remove the four opponent’s stones from any one board.

THE MEEPLE GUILD (Yorkton)

The game’s website suggests the game is “instantly familiar, yet wholly unique unto its own, Shobu feels like a game that has stood the test of time. The rules are amazingly simple and can be learned in moments, yet halfway through your first game, you realize the game has a depth and spatial challenge similar to 3-D chess.”

meeple.guild@gmail.com up to two spaces in any direction, including diagonally. The move has to be made on one of the two home boards, (those on your side of the rope). The move cannot jump, nor push a stone of either player’s.

there is a ‘thinky’ aspect to Shobu. It would be easy for a game to bog down with analysis paralysis for some players, so a clock might be a good idea for some. This one is a winner. Certainly in contention as my selection as best new abstract strategy game of 2019, although there is nearly half a year to go too. Check it out at www. smirkandlaughter.com Thanks to fellow gamers Trevor Lyons and Adam Daniels for their help in running through this game for review

You must then match that move with another of your stones on the opposite color board – and this time you may push an opponent’s stone. If you can push that stone off the board’s edge, so much the better since the

In Memoriam

CLAVIER - Pauline Clavier. March 27, 1928 - September 7, 2019. Pauline was born in Alvena, SK to Olga and Peter Sowyk. Her early years were spent on their farm with older sister, MaryAnn and younger sisters, Elsie and Ruthie. Pauline grew into a lovely young woman who met the dashing George Clavier shortly after he returned from WWII. They married in 1948. When George died in January 2018 they had been married 69 years. Pauline and George had six children, Reva (David Archer), Richard (Brenda), Brian (Pearl Morin), Kevin, Glenn and Adrian. Sadly, two of George and Pauline’s sons predeceased them. Richard in 2004 and Adrian in 2015. She was also predeceased by her younger sisters Ruthie and Elsie. Richard’s son Douglas and his wife Talena are the parents of Pauline’s two great-grandchildren, Adam and Gracie. Pauline’s childhood was marked by the Great Depression, poverty and uprooting of the family to Vancouver for a short time. Little sister Ruthie died at age four from rheumatic fever; sister Elsie survived the illness, but was considered too delicate to attend school; and Pauline, a sterling and eager student, was tasked with teaching her. Pauline’s greatest disappointment in life was being forced to quit school after Grade 11 because “education was wasted on a girl”. She was the prototypical Mama Bear, making certain that her children excelled academically. Once the older children left home, she finished high school through correspondence courses, then completed a number of university classes offered in Prince Albert. Pauline subsequently worked nearly 16 years as a child protection worker. Once retired, she organized many travel adventures for herself, George and friends, always seeking out educational experiences. After a serious fall in 2012, she moved to Pineview Terrace in January 2013. Fortuitously, her room was adjacent to George’s at both the old and new Pineview facilities. Pauline died peacefully the morning of September 7. We, her family, give heartfelt thanks to the many staff who cared for her and came every night to chat and listen to her stories. We will always remember that she never made a public appearance without her hair curled and makeup. She looked great!

We Match: If a competitor within our geographical trade area currently offers a lower advertised price than our current in-store price on any identical grocery item (brand, size, etc.) we will match the competitor’s price. “Competitor”, “major competitor” and “geographical trade area” are determined solely by us and are based on a number of factors which can change from time to time and store to store. Excludes mandatory ‘multi-buys’ (e.g.; $1.69 each when you buy 3), ‘spend x get x Free’, percentage discounts and discounts obtained through loyalty programs. You must present the competitor’s current advertisement in order for us to provide you with the price match. We reserve the right to limit quantities.
