grey, the group made their own colour, then going on a run as a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity which raised more than $10,000.

Terriers, league cut ties with Mulhall By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Greg Mulhall is done with Junior hockey in Saskatchewan for the current season. Mulhall who started the season as a forward with the Yorkton Terrier was serving a 25-game suspension imposed by the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, (SJHL), following a hit on Melville Millionaire goaltender Berk

Berkeliev which left the netminder with a severe head injury in a game played in Melville. Now both the Terriers and the SJHL have severed all ties with Mulhall, meaning he has been released by the team and ousted from the league for the remainder of the 2019-20 season. The most recent sanctions against the 19-year-old were imposed after a video surfaced “with Greg Mulhall speaking with disrespect and profanity

laced words” towards Berkeliev, noted a brief release on the SJHL website. Terrier head coach Mat Hehr told Yorkton This Week late Monday that “obviously it’s an unfortunate situation.” While not having more to say specific to Mulhall’s release Hehr did suggest this was a situation he hoped other young people, not just hockey players will gain something from. “Hopefully for everybody this is a

good learning tool,” he said. Hehr said with social media and camera phones life is increasingly under a microscope for everyone. “Even when I was a player just 10-years ago, we were just getting cellphones,” he said. Now everyone has one and is taking pictures and videos which are posted to the world via social media. “You have to be careful,” he said.

Council consolidating its awards By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The City of Yorkton will be consolidating and expanding the awards it may bestow upon local citizens after a decision by Yorkton Council at its

regular meeting Monday. “The Citizen Recognition Awards (CRA) Committee was established in January 2018 in efforts to revitalize the City of Yorkton’s Meritorious Service Awards Policy which had

a purpose to establish criteria for recognizing citizens to be presented with a civic award, new awards as well as special Saskatchewan Centennial awards for 2005,” explained Jessica Matsalla – Director

of Legislation and Procedures, with the City at the meeting. The original policy, created in May of 2005, set terms of reference for calling nominations for Awards for a citizen’s awards and Youth Citizen

Award. “The Meritorious Service Award policy sat stagnant for many years when in 2017, it was reviewed and revised into what is now the Citizen Recognition Awards Policy. The

revised policy offers more breadth to process for the same basic concept, including the nomination criteria, timelines, and provision of a panel to adjudicate nominations,” said Matsalla.

City to develop parks strategy By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Councillor Randy Goulden wants the City to develop a strategy to create safe play zones around City parks, with a

focus on parks with play structures, spray parks and outdoor rinks. With that in mind Goulden made a formal Notice of Motion to the regular meeting of Council Monday.

In the notice Goulden wrote; “The City has undertaken recent park improvements such as the spray park and outdoor rink at Ukrainian Pioneer Park as well as the recent construction of a play structure

Municipality hears about rail safety By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer At its regular meeting Monday Yorkton Council was given a presentation on rail safety as a shared responsibility. “Canada grew up along the railroad,” began Fire Chief Trevor Morrissey. “Those who work in the railway industry are immensely proud of that legacy, and their contribution to the economic development of hundreds of towns and cities, large and small, across this country. “As Canada has grown and its population increased, the rail industry shares a common challenge with those communities – to significantly improve rail safety. “Each year, approximately 250 Canadians are involved in railway crossing or trespassing incidents that can result in fatalities, or serious injuries. Virtually every one of those incidents is preventable.” So how are accidents best prevented? Through awareness campaigns. Through enforcement. And through a perspective that CN, North America’s only transcontinental railway, called ‘Change Your Train of Thought’, suggested Morrissey.

“It basically means that rail safety in Canada needs to become an accepted shared responsibility, and that we can’t wait for a moment be complacent, or even hold for a second the notion that accidents just happen,” he said. Rail Safety Week is just past, noted Morrissey, where a series of programs and events across Canada and the US emphasized the need for safe, responsible behaviour near railroad tracks. Morrissey added trespassing on railway property is illegal, and a serious public safety issue. “That was recognized in a comprehensive report, Enhancing Rail Safety in Canada: Working Together for a Safer Community,” he said. “It was prepared by an expert review panel and presented to federal Transport Minister Marc Garneau in May 2018. One of the report’s 16 recommendations called for a national strategy to reduce the number of fatalities and injuries that result from trespassing on railway property. Proximity issues have been long been, and remain, the biggest cause of death and serious injuries in rail transportation – 2,200 deaths and injuries in North America annually,

A truck-train collision which occurred in the city on July 25. offered Morrissey. “In Canada, accidents at grade crossings and trespassing on railway properties account for over 90 per cent of all fatalities,” he said. There are approximately 23,000 grade crossings across the country – of which 14,000 public and 9,000 private – according to the Enhancing Rail Safety in Canada report. Those crossings are under the authority of more than 3,000 municipal, provincial, territorial and federal authorities and Indigenous Groups, thousands of private land owners, and 32 railway companies, noted

Morrissey. “In recommending that Transport Canada develop a comprehensive national initiative to improve grade crossing safety, the report noted that other countries are closing grade crossings, and, when feasible, replacing them with grade separations,” he said. And that’s expensive. It can cost $20 million to build a simple grade separation in a rural area, and more than $60 million in an urban setting. “It’s going to take time, money – and cooperation, all of which can only be achieved through

partnership, and having everyone take on their role,” said Morrissey. Development close to rail lines can be an issue too. “The fact that Canada has grown up around the railroad has produced prosperity, but also challenges,” said Morrissey. “Too often, residential, commercial and industrial development takes place too close to rail lines, creating safety concerns.” The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and the Railway Association of Canada (RAC) have long worked to find a balance, noted Morrissey.

In 2013, the FCM/ RAC partnership led to the development of Proximity Guidelines, key policies for land use planning near rail lines infrastructure. The RAC estimates that 60 Canadian municipalities have adopted all or some of the Guidelines, and it’s recommended that the Minister of Transport direct provincial transportation ministers to fully adopt them – including a mandatory setback for any new development of at least 30 metres from any rail operation, he said. “That would make for safer communities,” said Morrissey.

used. The policy was developed to provide the Mayor and City Council with a meaningful and enduring way to recognize citizens of extraordinary achievement. Yorkton residents who achieve international, national or provincial excellence in business, education, academics, science and technology, community service, the arts or sports may be considered for this special honour.

for review and adjudication of the Certificates of Achievement as well. Since the COA policy revision in 2015, there have not been any Certificates of Achievement handed out to date. Both policies are geared towards recognition of excellence and contribution within the City of Yorkton. Therefore, should City Council approve the CRA Committee to be the adjudicating body for the Certificate of Achievement nominations, it is recommended by Administration that these policies be combined, and re-named “Civic Recognition Awards.”

Having Certificate of Achievement nominations adjudicated at the CRA Committee level would provide an efficient way to manage nominations for both sets of recognitions, and help to centralize and streamline the process for this,” she detailed.

AWARDS Continued from Page A1

As a result revisions and consolidation were being suggested. “In February 2019, the Citizen Recognition Awards Committee held the first celebration for winners of the Citizen

Recognition Awards for the year 2018,” said Matsalla. “During the nomination period, and adjudication process, the CRA Committee suggested that a group category be added to for recog-

At a meeting of the CRA Committee on Monday, September 23, 2019, it was suggested that a third plaque could be prepared for this, which would have award winners’ names inscribed on a plate to remain at City Hall. In addition to that plaque, the award winning group would be presented with a plaque to take back to their respective meeting places. Upon reviewing the Citizen Recognition Award policy, Administration recognized that the Certificate of Achievement (COA) Policy, created in 1991 and last revised in May 2015 had never been

Matsalla said there is now an opportunity to let the new committee do more. “Because Council has appointed the CRA Committee to adjudicate the Citizen Recognition Awards, it may be appropriate for the same committee to be responsible

We have heard concerns from the public about the speed of traffic near some park spaces and this concern was again raised to me by a local resident after the opening of the Tupper play structure last week.” The addition of new facilities provides an opportunity to work on an overall strategy, she

suggested. “I believe the development of a strategy that could include a review of the speed limit along with appropriate signage and other promotional materials could result in increased driver awareness and safer play spaces for our children and the community at large,” detailed the notice.

Larry Pearen speaks at the Yorkton Brick Mill Heritage Society dinner.

Heritage dinner about the past and the future One of the displays at the Yorkton Brick Mill Heritage Society dinner, showcasing the history of Sacred Heart High School. By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The Yorkton Brick Mill Heritage Society’s annual dinner was about the past and the future at

the same time. The society is raising money for the next steps for the mill, to make it not only an artifact, but a major part of the city. “We’re reflecting on

the history of the mill and other heritage buildings in Yorkton, but looking to the future and possible expansion as well. It’s all part of the excitement,” said Larry Pearen with

the Yorkton Brick Mill Heritage Society. The first presentation at the event was YRHS student Maggie Robertson, who produced the film “The

Yorkton Brick Flour Mill Friends,” which had its premiere screening at the event. The film interviews people involved in the mill, talking about their memories of it, the history of the society and why it’s worth preserving. Pearen said that their goal was to reach out and get young people interested. “We need youth involvement, but they have to understand the project to get involved. We are hoping that with her initiative, maybe others step up and say “hey, this is a good idea” and move it forward.” The second speaker at the event was Scott Shiels, procurement manager for Grain Millers in Yorkton, presenting on the Past, Present and Future of Grain Millers. They’re in the same business now as the mill itself was in years ago – though at a much larger scale – and Pearen is thrilled that they were diamond sponsors at the event. Grain Millers did more than speak at the meal, also donating $25,000 to the project.

“It’s nice to see an international company like that step up,” Pearen said. The dinner is growing each year, said Pearen. Starting at 250 the first year, the most recent dinner saw over 320 people attend. Beyond the dinner, the society wants to see what the community wants, and it wants to engage people and get their ideas for what the site could be. The next event for the Heritage Society will be on Oct. 10 at the Yorkton Public Library, with Royce Pettyjohn, who will talk about using heritage buildings as an economic driver. Pearen thanks everyone for making the evening, and the project overall, a success. “I want to thank all the businesses and people who are supporting us with donations. The business community has been outstanding about stepping up, and I hope everybody will shop locally and support local businesses, because they’re the heart and soul of the community.”

Perspective Reaction to Trudeau’s missteps puzzling

Politics Andrew Scheer’s Conservatives are likely frustrated they aren’t pulling well ahead of Liberals, given recent developments in this federal election campaign. It may be telling us something about what’s now wrong with modern-day politics. As of the writing of this column, we are two weeks into the campaign. And while opinion polls show the Conservatives hold a massive lead in Saskatchewan and Manitoba (the provinces seem to always be lumped together) they are showing Trudeau’s Liberals only two percentage points behind Scheer’s Conservatives. Given recent developments, this is surprising. About one week ago, images were revealed of a younger Justin Trudeau wearing blackface and brownface makeup — something that surely plays into the Conservative campaign aimed at Trudeau that has suggested “he’s not ready” and “he’s never been ready.” Yet according to Poll Tracker, which takes into account the work of seven major polling companies, the Liberals have only dropped two percentage points while the Conservatives have only gained .4 per cent. The NDP are said to have gained 1.1 per and the Green Party .9 per cent — all within the margin or error and exactly a significant gain. Perhaps it is a bit early to expect an instantaneous change. There is still another four weeks left in this campaign and the Conservatives are only beginning to roll out new negative ads with Trudeau’s image in blackface. Moreover, polling in this cellphone/social media age is less reliable because it’s harder to get a cross section of voters. But how this story is now playing out may speak to the divisiveness of today’s politics and how this may be changing the modern-day campaign. If the Poll Tracker numbers are telling us anything, it’s that the Conservatives seem to be gaining the least from the Trudeau revelations — less than half of what the NDP and Greens appear to have gained. Maybe it’s telling us that voters are remarkably forgiving for youthful indiscretions. But Trudeau was a 29-year-old teacher at the time, so it was hardly a youthful indiscretion. Moreover, Trudeau’s personal approval rating has taken a severe hit over this. According to the same polls, Scheer has not soared past Trudeau as the most preferred leader. Yet Scheer’s Conservatives seem to have gained little. Why? Well, it’s likely telling us that voters are entrenched in their views of the parties that they generally support and that they see other issues as larger priorities. There are a lot of you out there that may be bothered by this. You likely should be. It’s a nonstarter for anyone — and especially Liberals — to try to justify what Trudeau. That said, it’s hard to single out staunch Liberals for having an irrational, unflinching view of Trudeau and Liberal policies when Conservatives and New Democrats pretty much take the same approach. Parties that are only focused on “their issues” while not properly addressing other issues is a big problem in today’s politics. For example, the Conservatives are clearing doing well in their western base because of their opposition to the carbon tax. And they do have a very strong argument that Trudeau’s version of the carbon tax won’t reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But by not being more adamant in stating that Conservatives accept that globe warming is a manmade problem and by not promoting stronger policy positions to deal with this serious problem, it’s quite likely the Conservatives are driving away votes. Those votes are being entrenched in other parties in the same way Trudeau’s unflinching, uncompromising pursuit of this carbon tax is likely solidified Conservative support. It’s a big country where opinions and priorities do vary greatly. But that today’s national parties can’t seem to string together solid, compromised national platforms is troubling.

Small steps to help environment T

here is no doubt that the environment is a key issue for many Canadians. It is hard to not offer up some level of concern when you see ocean life imperilled by the barge loads of garbage humankind has dumped in the water, as if it sinking under the waves deals with the problems of our refuse. That is only one rather stark example of the impact we have on the environment that is negative. There are too many examples of humankind’s largess in terms negatively impacting the natural world; gone are the passenger pigeon and dozens of other species we could list here, and dozens of other environmental disasters. While we can’t change everything overnight, we can start to be better at protecting our environment because this mud ball we call earth is the only world we have. The question of course is how best to protect our environment? There are the big issues that governments must deal with, from ending ocean dumping of garbage, to finding better options to one use plastic products. But, what about here in Yorkton? Well one step is to focus some attention on things through Waste Reduction Week which was declared Monday by Yorkton Council. “Waste Reduction Week in Canada is annually held in October to build

awareness around issues of sustainable and responsible consumption, encourage choice for more environmentally responsible products, and promote actions that dispose of wastes in an environmentally friendly manner,” explained Aron Hershmiller, Assistant Director of Environmental Services with the City at the regular meeting of Council Monday. But the program goes farther this year locally. A new initiative for Waste Reduction Week 2019 by the Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council (SWRC) is the hosting of a Repair Café on October 26, 2019. The event will be held at the Yorkton Victory Church on 38 Bradbrooke Drive. “A Repair Café is an event where the public is encouraged to bring broken items to be repaired by an experienced volunteer. This encourages people to reduce the amount of waste they are putting in the landfill and an opportunity to have them fixed,” explained Hershmiller. “These items might include small electrical items such as a lamp that may need some soldering or a new electrical end.” Repairing, repurposing, and reusing of items is one of the simplest ways to divert refuse from our landfill. The idea of the cafe is a brilliant one in its simplicity, and shows a small step we can take as individuals that collectively can still make a difference.

Rubicon Pharmacies donates to long-term care By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Long-term care facilities in the area are getting help, thanks to Rubicon Pharmacies.

The donation to the Health Foundation of $10,000 will be used to support long term care facilities throughout the region. Ross Fisher with the

Health Foundation said that the money will be used in a variety of different ways, depending on what the facilities need. It could be things like pumps or lifts to help res-

idents with limited mobility, or recreation services to improve quality of life. “There’s a variety of things you can spend money on in long term care facilities, and it will vary from facility to facility, depending on what their needs are.” Some cases will see this donation combined with other funds if they

facility needs something more expensive, while other needs will be covered completely by the Rubicon funds, said Fisher. They will consult with the different care homes to see what they need in order to distribute the funds. Melody Kelts, Pharmacy Operations Specialist for Rubicon Pharmacies said that

they believe in giving back to communities they service, and this donation was about giving back to their patients and the communities where they live. This donation will be divided among long-term care facilities in Canora, Kamsack, Langenburg, Esterhazy and Ituna as well as the Yorkton and District Nursing Home.

Letter to the Editor Grain Millers Heritage Dinner a great success Dear Editor: A big thank you to all those who attended our 3rd Annual Grain Millers Heritage Dinner at St. Mary’s Cultural Center with guest speakers Scott Shiels, Grain Millers’ Manager of Procurement, and Maggie Roberston, a YRHS student who produced and provided the premier screening of her DVD “Friends of the Yorkton Brick Mill”.

Two large railway murals provided by artist Dean Printz set the “railway theme” as the participants entered the cultural center. Educational displays, historic photos, and silent auction completed the fundraising evening. MC Dave Farrell added a little humor with his rendition of President Donald Trump making a visit to the dinner. Thank you to all the

business sponsors for their generous support, silent auction donors, Yorkton media and all the volunteers who contributed to the success of this Heritage Fundraising Dinner. It was another wonderful sold out event to celebrate Yorkton’s history. Larry Pearen Chairperson Brick Mill Heritage Dinner, Yorkton

The outfit had a Waterloo Steam Tractor. The manufacturer was Iowa based, founded in 1893 by John Froelich, whose first engine was successfully used in the 1892 threshing season in South Dakota. In 1895, the company was reorganized as the Waterloo Gas Engine Company. They built the first Waterloo Boy in 1911. The Western Development Museum in Yorkton has a 12-25 Model N Waterloo Boy Kerosene Tractor manufactured c. 1920 by Waterloo Gasoline Engine Co. of Waterloo, Iowa. It was restored by members of the Yorkton Threshermen’s Club. Tonkin is a community 8 miles or 13 kilometers due east of Yorkton. It still has a few dwellings, an old Sask. Pool elevator

and a Curling rink built in 1948. It is heated, has artificial ice and used regularly for games and suppers. According to the book “What’s In A Name” Tonkin was named after a local soldier who died in World War l. The CN railway arrived in 1915, and two elevators were erected; Bawlf and Peaker-Gibson. In 1916, the United Church was built. The Saskatchewan Wheat Pool opened an elevator in 1928, and in 1954, the Co-op Store was established.

Two city employees to get awards By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The SUMA Awards Banquet will be held on February 4, 2020 in Regina. As in previous years, the City has endeavoured to recognize employees who have in excess of twenty

years of service with the City of Yorkton. “Rachel Leshchyshyn has 20 years of service with the City of Yorkton. She has held various positions, beginning at Public Works, then the City Clerk’s office. In 2001 she moved into the Research and Data

Assistant position where her role evolved into the Human Resource Administrator title, a position which she holds today,” said Jessica Matsalla Director of Legislation and Procedure with the City at the regular meeting of Yorkton Council Monday.

“Mikhail Zanevitch also has over 20 years of service with the City of Yorkton. He began his career with the City in 1999 working with the Concrete Division at Public Works. Over the years Mikhail advanced to an equipment operator and then transferred to the Roads

and Streets Division where he remains today.” Council unanimously supported the nominations, and the City will compensate their banquet and accommodation expenses as per Policy 30.60 ‘Recognition of City Employees’.

Hot dogs and horses: New kids club program has great turnout

Yorkton Legacy Co-op launches Kids Club program By Cory Carlick Staff Writer The air may have been a bit crisp with the cooler temperatures hailing the

oncoming winter, but a little chill couldn’t beat the warm spirit at the Co-Op Food Store. The Yorkton Legacy Co-Op launched its new

Kids Club program on Saturday, with fun activities for the whole family. A prize wheel was onsite, as were Clydesdales that kids

could meet and pet, courtesy of Twila Newton of the Saskatchewan Clydesdale Society. Big Brothers Big Sisters were onsite pro-

viding facepainting for the kids, as well as hot dogs with refreshments. Kids could even take a ride on a vintage fire truck complete with

sirens and the lot. Cooper, Co-Op’s official mascot, even stopped in for a visit to meet everybody and pose for photos.

munities.” “SaskTel continues to invest in its networks, so our customers get the service they expect and need.” Doug Burnett, SaskTel President and CEO said. “With Saskatchewan’s largest LTE network, SaskTel customers can surf, stream, and download the content they want faster than ever before and from almost anywhere in the province.”

Sask pop hits new high More people are living in Saskatchewan than ever before, as the province’s population grew to 1,174,462 as of July 1, 2019, according to new figures released today by Statistics Canada. Saskatchewan’s population has now grown in 53 consecutive quarters, increasing by more than 183,000 people during that time. Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said a growing province creates opportunities for Saskatchewan people and provides the resources needed to support important government services. “As we get ready to enter the 2020s, our government is planning for another decade of strong growth in Saskatchewan,” Harrison said. “This fall, we will release a new growth plan for the new decade, with new growth targets and actions we will take to achieve those targets.” Saskatchewan grew by 3,435 people in the second quarter of 2019. A net increase of 4,510 people from international migration and a natural increase (births minus deaths) of 1,644 people was partially offset by net interprovincial outmigration of 2,719 people.

Farming very much big business That would mean willing one of the largest lotto wins in Canadian history, and signing it all over to make the purchase, and then still need money to operate farm. It is suggested in the article the price tag is reasonable, given it’s going for about $1,640 an acre. In Saskatchewan, the article suggests prices can range from $2,000 to $3,500 per acre, while Alberta can see land go for $2,500 to $6,500 an acre. If one extrapolates a mid-value price in Saskatchewan a quarter section is going to fetch

If anyone is still under the illusion that farming is anything other than big business these days a single farm for sale in Manitoba should exhibit one of the current reality. What is being described as the “largest land package in Canada is for sale on the Prairies” in a Western Producer article rather clearly illustrates how Prairie farms in Canada have been trending to ever-larger operations. The land, located near The Pas, Man., features 23,800 acres, just over 37 sections, for cultivation and is going for $53.3 million.

Agriculture THIS WEEK

Calvin Daniels about $400,000, give, or take a few thousand. For anyone not sure what a quarter section of land is, it encompasses 160-acres, which is the size of the plot of land the early immigrants to Western Canada were given, if they met certain provisions. Certainly there are

successful smaller producers, but even a farmer on a half section doing some niched farming to generate returns has a land base valued at near three-quarters of a million dollars, and then requires machinery, grain storage and other farm elements pushing the investment

nearer one million. Of course machinery is the other side of the coin in terms of farming being very big business these days. A new fourwheel drive tractor or new combine will each take huge bites out of a million dollars before it is rolling around a field. We often look at new small businesses popping up in a community with a certain amount of awe based on the individual taking the risk of investment in establishing the storefront. But a farmer driving a new tractor off the lot is barely noticed although the investment in that single tractor is

likely to be as large as many smaller business developments. Farms are now very big business. The size of farms has generally trended larger in major dryland farming areas around the world since the end of the First World War, and when land prices spike higher that increases farm values. When land values climb machinery tends to rise in value as well. There is a great cost to growing the world’s food, although often that fact seems to be lost for many. Calvin Daniels is Editor with Yorkton This Week.

Harvest hits 40 per cent in the bin A stretch of warm and relatively dry weather allowed most producers to return to the field and resume harvest operations last week, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Weekly Crop Report. Thirty-nine per cent of the crop is now in the bin, up from 23 per cent last week but remaining well behind the five-year (2014-2018) average of 62 per cent for this time of year. Crops have been slow

to mature and dry down due to frequent showers. Much of the crop harvested so far is tough and is being put into grain dryers and aeration bins. Harvest is most advanced in the southwest region, where 58 per cent of the crop is now combined. The westcentral region has 46 per cent combined and the southeast region 40 per cent. The northeast region has 31 per cent combined, the northwest

region 23 per cent and the east-central region 22 per cent. Ninety-four per cent of fall rye, 93 per cent of winter wheat, 89 per cent of field peas, 88 per cent of lentils, 59 per cent of barley, 48 per cent of durum, 36 per cent of mustard, 31 per cent of spring wheat and 17 per cent of canola is now in the bin. An additional 61 per cent of canola and 19 per cent of mustard is swathed or ready to

Financing options now available

Today SK Livestock Finance Co-operative Ltd. (SKLF) officially launches. This new member-based co-operative is owned by Saskatchewan livestock producers and provides innovative, affordable and competitive financing options for cattle and bison producers across the province of Saskatchewan. “We are very excited to be in a position to officially launch this new cooperative,” said Sandra Moen, Chair of the SKLF Board of Directors. “We have been working tirelessly over the past nine months to establish a co-operative that both meets the needs of Saskatchewan cattle and bison producers and contributes to the growth and longevity of the livestock industry in our province.” SKLF was established to replace the historic Livestock Loan

Guarantee Program that was previously operated by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture. The previous program began operations in 1984 and has supported thousands of producers over its 35 years of successful operation. SKLF will be able to provide loans under similar terms, with oversight and direction being driven from membership. “SKLF wouldn’t have been possible without the support we’ve received,” added Moen. “I would especially like to thank board of directors who have volunteered countless hours towards this initiative and our business advisors from McNair Business Development Inc. McNair has been with us from the very beginning and has been the driving force behind turning our vision into reality. Thank you for

everything!” SKLF is currently focused on transferring producers from the government program to the new co-operative and will be accepting applications from new members starting in the fall. More information about the co-operative and how to apply can be found on SKLF’s website. About SK Livestock Finance Co-operative Ltd. SK Livestock Finance Co-operative Ltd. (SKLF) was established in March 2019 with a vision to offer innovative, affordable and competitive financing options for Saskatchewan cattle and bison producers. SKLF is a member-owned cooperative that offers financing options for cattle feeder, cattle breeder, bison feeder and bison breeder producers.

straight-cut. Some eastern areas of the province received heavy rainfall last week, which will further delay harvest. While the majority of the province received small amounts of rainfall, the Lipton and Ituna areas both received 94 mm. Across the province, topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as 15 per cent surplus, 79 per cent adequate and six per cent short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as six per

cent surplus, 81 per cent adequate, 12 per cent short and one per cent very short. The majority of crop damage this past week was due to hail, strong winds, lodging and localized flooding. There continue to be many reports of crops sprouting, bleaching and staining, and downgrading is expected at the elevator. Geese and wildlife are also feeding on swathed crops and causing damage. Pasture conditions

are rated as 10 per cent excellent, 47 per cent good, 30 per cent fair, 12 per cent poor and one per cent very poor. Farmers are busy hauling bales and continuing with harvest operations as time and weather permit.

October is Ag Month in the City By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yorkton Council supported a request to proclaim October as Agriculture Month in the city. In making the request Rachel Kraynick Agricultural Programs Specialist, Yorkton Regional Office, Ministry of Agriculture noted “the Minister of Agriculture will proclaim the month of October as Agriculture Month in Saskatchewan once again this year. I, on behalf of the Yorkton Regional Office, request that Council consider issuing a Proclamation to officially declare October Agriculture Month in the City of Yorkton. “With this proclamation, you will help raise awareness of the importance of Agriculture local-

We will be celebrating the dedicated people along the value

chain who deliver healthy, affordable and safe products in a sustainable manner,” said Kraynick. The proclamation passed with only Mayor Bob Maloney opposed, suggesting he has come to the conclusion the City should not be doing proclamations.

Housing project gets continued support By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yail Harbor Inc. appeared before the regular meeting of

Yorkton Council seeking a tax exemption on property where six units belonging to Pathway Homes. The exemption was

granted for five years in 2013, but came to an end after 2018. The City of Yorkton had donated the land to Yail Harbor Inc. for

the proposed Pathway Homes project approximately in 2010, with the donation of the land to Yail Harbor Inc., explained Yail Harbor director John denBrok. Typically, group home properties such as this are exempt from taxation under The Residential Services Act; however, the property in discussion does not qualify due to the lack of 24 hour staffing, explained Ashley Stradeski, Director of Finance with the City. He added, the property is, however, adjacent to 89 Rae Avenue, which is in

fact staffed 24 hours. This was done to keep costs down by utilizing the staff at one location to service multiple units. As such, they are not technically tax exempt but are still providing a similar level of service. Stradeski noted as well the agreement in place for tax exemption expired December 31, 2018. It was discussed at its inception to look into options such as the City renewing the exemption at the end of the five-year period, or issuing a grant, he said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given that the property is still being operated as a group home and the conditions that existed which brought us to enter this agreement are still virtually the same, Council could direct Administration to enter into another agreement with similar terms,â&#x20AC;? offered Stradeski. That was the avenue Council unanimously took in extending the tax exemption for an additional five years. The 2019 taxes, which would otherwise be collected, are $10,010.41.

American scandals distract from election The problem with Canada is that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very close to America. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always a problem, but it is in this election. Suddenly weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a big American scandal right in the middle of our election. While there have been valiant attempts to get a big Canadian scandal at the same time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not at the same level as the upheaval south of the border. The American scandal is naturally going to get a lot of attention, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like watching a car crash into a dumpster fire, and no matter what our Canadian party leaders

can do ten or more years ago there just isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anything that can compare to that. But instead of watching the disaster next door, we have our own business to take care of -- an electionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on we seem to be forgetting. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like watching a house fire across the street while forgetting that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any toilet paper. While whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on with your neighbors might be a fascinating disaster, soon youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have a crisis of your own. The Canadian election just plain isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as exciting as an impeach-

are definitely people in Canada who will be impacted by whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening to the south, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still time to pay much closer attention to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in our own country. Yorkton has been especially quiet this time

around. Look around and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find a surprising lack of lawn signs, and a seeming lack of interest in the election. I have seen two lawn signs in city limits so far, and one of them was in a picture. Outside of town, one candidate has two signs near some fields. Hardly a ton of election interest, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably the quietest it has been in the past decade. I suspect that I know who is going to win, based on the miniscule amount of signs. The question is just how awful the turnout will be. But it also takes real effort to focus on whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

going on in Canada when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a disaster nearby. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing exciting about toilet paper, after all. You need it, sure, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not something you think about until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re caught short at an inopportune time. The election, right now, is a dwindling toilet paper supply. We are looking at more exciting things, while the crisis point gets nearer and nearer. It feels like suddenly, on Oct. 21, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be caught short. We need to turn away from the exciting disasters and start paying attention to our house.

Arcana Kings take centre stage The Arcana Kings took to the stage for Sask Culture days Saturday night at the Anne Portnuff Theatre.

Michael Kaeshammer wants to explore By Devin Wilger Staff Writer M i c h a e l Kaeshammer’s next tour, which will see a Yorkton stop as part of the Yorkton Arts Council’s Stars for Saskatchewan series, is all about reconnecting with places he misses. Kaeshammer will be in Yorkton on Oct. 7 at the Anne Portnuff Theatre. He describes it as a bit of a throwback to the start of his career, the Saskatchewan leg being just like his tours after the OSAC showcase, touring towns big and small. “At the beginning of my career, I was touring anywhere and everywhere... I just miss driving through Canada and visiting some places I used to go to. Sometimes it’s the theatre, sometimes it’s the town. This tour is nice because it visits B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan, and I get to drive it all.” While the travel aspect of touring can be frustrating and stressful, Kaeshammer is looking forward to this tour because he gets to drive and explore the country. “I love Canada, and I always feel great when you come back from somewhere else and it says ‘Welcome to Canada’ as you cross the border... I’ve toured so much in Canada, and I’ve toured between the major centres so much over the

years, I think I’ve seen places in Canada that people my parents’ ages haven’t seen or wouldn’t see because there’s no reason to go there unless there’s family or you go on vacation... If you’re open to the experience, and getting to know the towns you go to because you have to eat, you’re going to meet people there. If you’re open to the experience, it’s a great journey, and you’re going to learn something all the time. Small towns, I live in a small town here... It’s just a whole different vibe than a city like Toronto or Vancouver, a more community atmosphere.” As much as he loves exploring Canada, he loves exploring what he can do with his art, and his most recent album Something New took Kaeshammer into new directions as he put on ‘new hats,’ with the jazz pianist taking the role of producer with this one. “I did everything myself on this record, because I wanted to start producing other people. There are a lot of guests on it, there might be a tune that I have written where instead of me singing it, I thought maybe Colin James or Cyril Neville would be better singing it... I wanted to wear the producer hat just as much, and not get caught up in the artist ego where it’s my songs, my record. That was a lot

Michael Kaeshammer will be at the Anne Portnuff Theatre on Oct. 7, the first artist in the Stars for Saskatchewan series. of fun, and it was a whole new experience for me, and there are a lot of guests on it through that process.” The album was recorded in New Orleans, and a city whose sound has been a major influence on Kaeshammer’s work. “When you go there and play with musicians who have been a part of that history, it’s very different from recording it in Toronto or Vancouver and making people play like that. Not that it’s better or worse, it’s just a

different atmosphere and a different vibe. And that’s why I went there, I wanted to capture that. We did it in the Treme district, it was a great studio, and it just felt like being part of New Orleans.” That he can still do something new after having a career for over twenty years shows he’s still growing and developing as an artist. He’s still in love with music, with playing, and trying new things. “The beautiful thing

about music or any art, you grow with it.” But the main goal is to share his love of music with the audience, and he promises that everyone at the show will have a good time. “I love playing, and I have so much fun in life with music, that is what I want to convey when I perform. The fact that I’m playing piano and singing is a vehicle to get it across, and get everyone in the same room. People will have a good time,

because I’m going to have a good time, and everyone on stage is going to have a good time. In the band there is a great drummer from New Orleans, and he’s never been to any of the places where we are going, and he’s already packed his big winter coat because he comes up here in the summer and wears a winter coat. It’s just the whole experience, all of that will come across on stage, the fact that we are on a trip that we’re really enjoying.”

Finding your ancestors with Genealogy Society By Cory Carlick Staff Writer The annual Yorkton Genealogical Society Conference was held Saturday at the Panted Hand Casino, and a full slate of presenters had a variety of interesting topics to cover. Laura Hanowski was onhand to discuss First Nations and Metis ancestry, while Earl Shultz had a panel on DNA research. John Pihach, a well known expert at the Yorkton Genealogical Society, held a panel on the background of Eastern Europe and the Ukraine. The event was packed.

Alluding to the panellists above, Pihach explained the event to Yorkton This Week. “Well, it’s a conference that has three speakers. The first one will be talking about indigenous genealogy; I’ll be talking about Eastern and Ukranian genealogy and the third speaker will be talking about DNA,” said Pihach. “They [attendees] may perhaps have an idea of their background but they just want to determine all the information they can about their ancestors going back, you know, centuries. “As you can see, there are people of all ages and

backgrounds here.” A luncheon with refreshments was also available to attendees, with Q & A workshops set up in the afternoon. A wide variety of resources were onsite, including information tables and various contacts and partners that could assist in sleithing the family backgrounds of those in attendance. A Rainbow auction was also at the conference, as well as a 50/50 draw. For more information on the Yorkton Genealogical Society, visit http://yorktonchaptersgs.wordpress.com .

Farmer’s market supports food bank By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Food is a focus of the Yorkton Farmer’s Market, and they’re helping others put food on their own tables. The vendors at the Farmer’s Market got together to make a contribution to the Salvation Army Food Bank. In total, they gave $225 to the Food Bank. Brendon Purton with the farmer’s market said they felt that the Food Bank is an important asset

to the community, and anything someone could donate makes a difference. “We would encourage everybody to do what they can.” Samuel Tim said that this donation means they can buy more produce and canned goods for people in the community, and support more people. “It means that people are really supporting us. They are seeing the need in the community, and Jane Labash and Brendon Purton with the Yorkton Farmer’s Market present a donation that’s amazing.” to Lieutenant Samuel Tim with the Salvation Army.

I have a long string of “F” words While performing a medical examination, the practitioner asked a male relative of mine to say as many “F” words as possible, in as short a time as possible. Startled by official sanction to audibly release the fourletter word that immediately came to his mind, he obediently opened his mouth. I wasn’t there but I can imagine it. He may have edged into it muttering at first. But soon the F bomb resounded like staccato in the otherwise sterile room, ricocheting off the walls, likely seeping out beneath the door. He’d just begun enjoying himself when he caught a glimpse of his examiner’s

face, a peculiar mix of horror and amusement. Clearly, her instruction had a different intention. Not THAT word, she clarified, when she could speak again. She’d meant a variety of other words beginning with “F”. I thought of that last night when a string of “F” words of my own came to mind; perhaps some that practitioner may have found more suitable. I had a birthday yesterday, and I went to bed feeling blessed by and deeply grateful for several things, all starting with “F” that have helped bring me to this age and stage. Faith. I trust that God loves me, that he holds

me fast, and that resting securely in his hands means nothing bad can happen — even those things that seem so at the time. That belief has been strengthened by the sixty-three years behind me, years filled with both joy and trials. Family. We’re spread far by geography, interests, ages, situations and

approaches to life. But without my family, near and far, past and present, close and distant, I could not have become the woman I am today. From the smallest tender leaf on my family tree to the oldest most weathered ones (some barely clinging, some fallen) they have loved, inspired, taught, helped and hin-

dered me (just a few, but it has made me stronger). At this point I wouldn’t swap out a leaf. Friends. I have always felt rich in my friendships. Deeply blessed, greatly amazed and entirely undeserving. But oh, so grateful. Fitness. “Old people (???) can’t run,” one of the grandbeans reminded me the other day. Maybe not, but this Nana can still walk fast. Sometimes, depending on the situation, I even trot. Just ask my dog. I can also still touch my toes while standing. Food. Since nothing has calories on one’s birthday, I indulged in birthday food without

guilt. Today, I’ll behave, and courtesy of my dog and a good friend, I will walk it off. That works for me. Finances. Somehow, someway, God has provided for every need. He has also granted the blessing of hard work and the gifts and abilities to perform it. Fur, fuzz and feathers. My pets, my furry loves, always have, always will, remind me of God’s care and Jesus’ love. Fun. Flowers. Fellowship… The string keeps lengthening. I hope to remember them if I’m ever in that same medical facility. What are your “F” words?

Mother Nature has changed mind Mother Nature certainly changed her mind quickly this past week! Less than two weeks ago it was t-shirt weather, and now it seems “late fall” has landed on our doorsteps almost overnight. Though it’s not ideal weather, we can still continue with our garden winterizing. What are your thoughts on cutting back perennials? We always used to cut back most perennials, although this year we are a little more selective. I have been reading about what should and shouldn’t get cut back, and I think every gardener has their own idea and their own plan for their garden. And it all seems to work, doesn’t it. But I did read some tips that I wanted to share with you, so let’s make a cup of hot tea and sit down together for a few minutes. I read that irises should be cut back in the fall. We have always done this because it saves messy cleanup in the spring, but there is another reason. Those broad, flat leaves can become a haven for fungus if left unattended, so we should cut them back and throw them away. Daylilies should also be cut back. This is another plant that is messy to clean up in the spring if we didn’t cut it back in

DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

Gardener’s Notebook the fall, but guess what else? That messy tangle of last year’s leaves could prevent proper growth of the new leaves in the spring, almost choking them out. So that’s a very good reason to clean them up now! We’ve chatted before about leaving anything that has seed heads. Seed heads not only provide winter interest through the snow, but they also give a food source to the birds. The only exception would be to cut down delphiniums, which have probably toppled over and broken by now anyway. Probably for many gardeners, the feeling is to really clean up the yard before winter sets in, and how often do we see a very neat, leafless, stemless yard as winter is just around the corner. It looks picture perfect, doesn’t it. This is certainly a way to save time with spring cleanup, but don’t be extra meticulous. Having some

leaves between shrubs or perennials provides a hiding place for many beneficial insects to live over the winter. As we were cleaning our yard, there were so many ladybugs scrambling out of the plants as we were pulling them out. That alone is incentive to be sure to give them a place where they can relocate. Ladybugs are a gift in the garden. Not only that, but some leaf cover protects the crowns of various perennials. It will mostly break down by spring and provide nutrients for the soil. You have probably read that joke about God talking with St. Francis about aspects of gardening. Here’s part of their conversation. “St. Francis: You better sit down, Lord. As soon as the leaves fall, they rake them into great piles and pay to have them hauled away. God: No. What do they do to protect the shrub and tree roots in the winter and to keep the soil moist and loose? St. Francis: After throwing away the leaves, they go out and buy something which they call mulch.” While every gardener loves, loves, loves mulch, nature kindly provides us with beautiful wintercover mulch that will decompose over time. If we are too determined to clean up every last leaf between every shrub, we are taking away something very beneficial and that is naturally there in our gardens! No joke! Visit the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society at www.yorktonhort.ca and see what’s coming up with the group. Have a great week!

The Yorkton Secon Maulers took on the Tisdale Trojans on Sept. 16. Left, Carter Dereniwsky runs into trouble. Right, Connor Hvidston tries to get through some traffic.

Maulers season opens on a low note By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The SMAAAHL hockey season did not begin how the Yorkton Secon Maulers would have hoped. The home opener saw the team meet the Tisdale Trojans at the Farrell Agencies Arena. The Tisdale squad was the dominant one. The game opened with a Tisdale goal happening almost immediately from Mackenzie Carson, assisted by Zac Robins. Carson opened the second period the same way, putting the second notch on the board for Tisdale, assisted by

Kalen Ukrainetz and Trenton Curtis. Ukrainetz followed that with a goal of his own, assisted by Curtis and Mario Fortier. This was followed by the third goal of the second, scored by Cole Tanchuk and assisted by Keagon Little. Carson got a hat trick by getting the first goal of the third period, a shorthanded goal assisted by Robins. The final goal of the game came from Little, assisted by Ethan Lang and Noah Wills. Once the dust settled the score was 6-0 for the visiting Trojans. The Maulers then went to the Warman

Showcase, taking on the Saskatoon Contacts and Notre Dame Hounds. The first game, on Sept. 28, was against the Contacts. It was the Contacts who made it on the board first, with a goal from Alex Bernauer assisted by Matthew Hodson and Jacob Hoffrogge. This was followed by a power play goal by Blake Samida assisted by Anthony Roebuck, for the Maulers’ first goal of the season. Any celebration would be short lived, as the Contacts took command in the second. Kevin Korchinski, assisted by Jacob Hoffrogge and Matthew Hodson, scored

a power play goal. This was followed by a goal by Brayden Yager assisted by Jacob Hoffrogge and Riley Heidt. The final goal of the period was another power play goal, again for Saskatoon, scored by Logan Bairos assisted by Adam McNutt. Orin Olson opened the scoring in the third for the Maulers, but the Contacts were not letting up, with Brayden Yager, assisted by Adam McNutt and Logan Bairos, putting another power play goal on the board. The Maulers met it with a power play goal of their own, scored by Jayden Harris, with Kylen Taphorn and Blake

Samida getting the assist. Finally, Adam McNutt, assisted by Matthew Hodson, of the Contacts put a goal in the empty net in the final minutes. The final score was 6-3 for the Contacts. The Maulers met the Hounds on Sept. 29, and they were also too much for the Yorkton squad. The trouble began in the first, with the Hounds getting on the board with a goal by Brendan Kerr assisted by Kyle Bochek and Will Lavigne. The second period saw a second goal from Notre Dame, Josselin Dufey with Will Lavigne and Dominick Campione

getting the assist. The third period was more of the same. Jhett Larson started the scoring, with help from Josselin Dufey and Dominick Campione. Carter Cormier ended it, assited by Kevin Anderson and Connor Keough. The Hounds won 4-0. Next action for the Maulers will be in Warman for the Warman Showcase, where the Maulers will meet the Saskatoon Contacts and the Notre Dame Hounds. Next home game will be Wed. Oct. 2, when the Maulers will host the Regina Pat Canadians.

Raider Gridders shut-out Peacock The Yorkton Raider Gridders headed south Saturday to play Albert E. Peacock Collegiate. “It went really well,” said Yorkton coach Jason Boyda. “We got a big win 37-0.” The win didn’t come

easy, especially early in the game. “We were a little slow in the first half,” said Boyda, noting they led only 16-0 at the half. “We make a few mistakes, we took some penalties.”

Boyda added Peacock played it tough early. “They have a good tradition of football in the school,” he said. In the end the Yorkton defence was the difference in the game. Boyda said defensive

coach Ryan Effa had a good plan going into the game, one the team bought into and executed well. As for the penalties, Boyda said it was often a holding call. “It’s just one of those

things. Players play to the echo of the whistle,” he said, and that can lead to a few calls going against them. He added the team will be working on avoiding calls in practice, suggesting “it’s very important we don’t kill

our own drives.” The Raiders Gridders are back in action Friday when they offer opposition to Estevan in that team’s ‘Friday Night Lights’ game.

Terriers play better still lose to Wings By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Terriers were in Weyburn Friday were they found themselves down 1-0 after 20-minutes of play after Jacob Piller scored for the Red Wings on the powerplay 9:05 into the contest. Alec Zawatsky knotted the score at 6:54 of the second, the only goal of

the middle frame. The third however belonged to the host team. Keigan Callander scored 2:36 in for Weyburn, the goal being the eventual game-winner. Tyson McLean added an empty-netter with two seconds left in the game to make it a 4-2 Wings win. Philippe Bond took

the loss on the Terrier net facing 40 shots, while Noah Decottignies was the winning netminder facing 33-shots for Weyburn. Terrier head coach Mat Hehr said in spite of the loss, he was satisfied by the effort of his charges. “Overall I think it’s the best game we’ve played this season,” he said of

the 1-7 record. Hehr said he disbelieved the official shots, suggested it was more like 39-30 in the Terrier’s favour when reviewing game film. The difference ended up being a third period goal going in off a Terrier helmet, which he said sums up the luck, or lack thereof the Terriers have had early this season.

“The goals aren’t going in for us. We’re not getting the bounces,” said Hehr. As for the one-goal on offence, Hehr reminded this is a Terrier team in the midst of a huge rebuild, “We’ve moved on 15 players from last season’s team,” he said. “We have a lot of new faces. It will take time to jell.” The offence is by

Zawatsky’s arrival, a player Hehr said has some obvious offensive skills that so far are meshing well with Chantz Petruic to give the Terriers a skilled duo on the top line. Hehr said Zawatsky was a player the Terriers “targeted” to acquire in a trade, and they look forward to good things from him the rest of the way.

As hinted at last week in this space, it is time to wrap up the Toronto Blue Jays season. Overall, the season unfolded, at least in terms of wins and losses, as was expected. The team flirted with 100 loses, ending up with 95, against 67 wins. They were among the dregs of baseball this year, with only four teams having a worse winning percentage. That said, 14 teams finished under .500, and four teams did lose 100-games. It is only the second time that has occurred. Conversely four teams won 100-games, a MLB first.

It was one of those years. With what has clearly been a ‘juiced’ baseball, MLB set a new record for home runs this year, with 6,685 homers in the majors, almost 600 more than the previous record of 6,105 set in 2017. The league also set a record for strikeouts, with batters whiffing nearly 43,000 times in 2019. But, back to the Jays, where fans knew going into the season this was a major transition year, and that is exactly what transpired. In terms of position players all went about as well as you could have hoped. Vladimir Guerrero

CALVIN DANIELS

Sports Jr., Bo Bichette, Cavan Biggio, Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Reese McGuire and Danny Jansen have all looked solid, and create a definite core to build around moving forward. Watching this group emerge saved a season where wins were in short supply, and yes I watched a lot of Jay’s ball. Thanks to my better half liking

the Jays, and the DVR feature allowing for flipping past advertising to trim an hour-plus out of most games, baseball was often on the tube in the house, to the tune of about 120-games this season. What was missing was starting pitchers to provide the same hope for the future as the afore-

mentioned position players. Anthony Kay, Jacob Waguespack and Trent Thorton showed flashes that suggest they can pencil into the backend of a rotation, but there is no ‘ace’ among the myriad of pitchers the Jays sent to the hill this season – including Marcus Stroman, who was the only real stumble the team made when they traded him away. This year the losses were allowable in my mind because you knew the young players were arriving and for the most part that went well. But, in 2020, the Jays need to take a step. That sadly will be difficult.

It would be good to see the team at least flirt with .500, but they will need at least a couple of pitchers to top-off the staff, and the young arms can’t falter, although they have half a dozen hurlers who could factor at the backend of a starting staff. The Jays also need to avoid the dreaded sophomore jinx, which seems a real thing, as players often take at least a small step back in their second year. The core group are all basically rookies, so even one, or two stumbling, and it is likely to be another 65-win type season, and that will make watching the team more frustrating than this year.

Exercise is medicine with Parkinson’s By Devin Wilger Staff Writer We all know that exercise is good for us, but for someone with Parkinson’s Disease, it is vital. The Exercise is Medicine event, presented by Parkinson Canada and the Yorkton Public Library, showed people in the community the importance of exercise when talking about Parkinson’s Disease. Sumita Hintz with Prairie View Physiotherapy spoke about how exercise helps, as well as the signs of symptoms of Parkinson’s and helping people understand what’s going on.

The mechanisms behind Parkinson’s explain why exercise is so helpful, explained Hintz. Dopamine is not produced by the body when someone has Parkinson’s. “What exercise does is it actually increases the release of dopamine, which then physically creates more coordinated movement.” Beyond the physical benefits of exercise, Hintz said that it’s also empowering, and people can take control. There is no cure to Parkinson’s at the moment, and it’s a progressive disease, but Hintz said it gives people the chance to keep control in their own way.

“We’re giving people the opportunity to fight back in their own way, and take back some of their independence.” It’s also important to get people educated about Parkinson’s, Hintz believes, because it reduces the unknowns. The more people know about Parkinson’s, the more they can recognize the signs and symptoms, as well as reduce the fear around helping people they see in the wider world who might have the disease. For family members, it’s a way to help their family members keep on track with their exercise program. Kelly Pierson with Parkinson’s Canada said

that they are committed people to living their best life with Parkinson’s, and that means presentations like the one at the Yorkton Public Library to help. She also notes that they have had success with exercise programs like Rock Steady Boxing in Regina, which has been a hit with the men with the disease in the area. While Parkinson’s is most often associated with the elderly, with the most common age of onset being in the sixties, Pierson noted that it can strike at any age, and at the recent walk in Regina, the youngest person with the disease was 13.

Sumita Hintz with Prairie View Physiotherapy talks about exercise.

Two-player deckbuilder has super theme When I read a description that states “a steampunk deckbuilding game with crazy inventions that connect to make even cooler inventions,” I am pretty well hooked. Such was the case with Widget Ridge from Ian Taylor and Shawn Martineau from Furious Tree Games. As you might expect from a steampunkthemed game, this one is about building whacky creations, which works pretty slick as a deckbuilder, that mechanism

allowing for the collection of parts throughout the game. What is limiting here is that Widget Ridge is a two-player game, which is not unique among deckbuilders, there are several others, but the vast majority do play more. So if you grab this one, and you probably should, just be aware it only accommodates two. In Widget Ridge you’ll be playing ‘Widget’ and ‘Gadget ‘cards to generate ‘Gold’ and ‘Spark’. Gold and Spark are

THE MEEPLE GUILD (Yorkton) meeple.guild@gmail.com basically the currency of the game allowing you to but more cards or to build contraptions. Players buy new inventions, connect inventions

in their workshops, and of course sabotage their opponents by destroying their inventions. The artwork on the cards is suitably ‘steam-

punky’ with clean lines that is appealing if you are into the genre to start with. The scorekeeper cards work in a neat way I haven’t seen elsewhere, which is simply innovative. This is a fine little deckbuilder that has tons of potential for expansions, which of course the norm in games in general these days, and in particular with deck building where new cards can be rather easily added. The key here is you have to like the flavour of

steampunk, or a big part of Widget Ridge’s charm may be lost on you. You also need to have the bud to play a two-player with, which is sometimes harder to arrange than a game’s night with a group. But if all the cogs fall into place for you, Widget Ridge is a very solid game to look into. Check it out at www. widgetridge.com Thanks to fellow gamer Adam Daniels for his help in running through this game for review

ANDERSON - It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Lorne on July 22, 2019, with his family by his side, in Victoria, BC. Lorne was 88 years old. He was a loving husband, brother, uncle, father, grandfather and greatgrandfather and along with many family and friends, he leaves behind to cherish his memory his children: Terry (Birgit) of Victoria and Donna (Dan) Shuster of Winnipeg. Besides his children, Lorne’s most prized possession were his grandchildren and greatgrandchildren: Rachel (Rob) and Ashton of Victoria, Amanda (David) of Winnipeg and Jared (Kelley) and Nora of Winnipeg. Lorne is also survived by his two younger brothers Alfred (Hilda) of Regina and Royce of Victoria. Lorne was predeceased by his wife, Audrey, of 51 years, his son Randy and his grandson Derek as well as his brothers Leverne and Ken and sisters Dorothy Taylor and Marjorie Haubauer. After graduation from Lutheran College Bible Institute in Outlook, Lorne began a 40 year career with the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool beginning as a helper in Naicam. One of his first transfers was to Churchbridge as a grain buyer and is where he met Audrey. Their later transfers included Preeceville, Saskatoon, Canora and finally Yorkton where he retired as the Area Manager in 1990. In his early years, Lorne was both an exceptional hockey and baseball player. He later went on to coach both hockey and baseball for many years. After his retirement in 1990, he enjoyed many years of travelling with mom, golf season and cheering on the Yorkton Terriers. For 18 years he served on the Board of Directors for the Yorkton Credit Union and he remained active in St Paul’s Lutheran Church. In his last years of life, he loved living in Victoria and enjoyed the beautiful weather, bus trips with his friends, yearround golf and having his family live close by. Lorne will always be remembered for his generous spirit, sharp wit and sense of humour, love for his family and his true passion for golf, the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Toronto Maple Leafs. A memorial service at Yorkton Memorial Gardens will be held late next spring where Lorne will be laid to rest next to Audrey.

KULCSAR - Donald’s family is sad to announce his sudden passing on September 20, 2019 at the Regina General Hospital in Regina. He was 72 years of age. Donald was born on January 27, 1947 to Joseph and Evelyn (nee Reiger) Kulcsar in Esterhazy, SK. Donald grew up on the family farm located north of Grayson, SK where he attended school near the family farm. Donald was also an altar boy at the Kaposvar Church located near Esterhazy during his younger years. On November 2, 1968 he was united in marriage to Diane (nee Edwards) in Dauphin, MB. Shortly after they moved to Thompson, MB and Donald began working at the mines in the community. After the birth of their first child in 1971 they moved back to Dauphin where Donald began working for the City of Dauphin, MB as a backhoe operator and then later on working for a marine dealership. The year later they were blessed with their second child. Later on Donald and his family moved to Esterhazy, SK where he started up his own automotive repair business. Donald became very well known in the area because of his family roots and with his new found business, he was also a very active member in the local stock car racing association where he held the position of President for the years he was involved. Donald made one more final move to Yorkton, SK where he made this his permanent home. He had gone back to school to complete his GED and obtained his boilers certificate where he began his new career as a maintenance caretaker for the Yorkton Housing Authority. Donald spent his remaining years with his new love Shirley Cole on their acreage, tending to their horses, spending time showing them at trail rides. Together they spent much time camping and fishing. After moving to the acreage he developed a mutual passion with Shirley for the farm animals. Together they both loved the company of their horses and attending many trail rides around the province. Over the years they cared and loved many animals on the farm such as dogs, cats, the horses, miniature horses, donkey and a goat. Donald had an attachment to each and every one of them. Donald had enjoyed spending time with his sons and grandchildren, he loved to entertain people with his many musical talents such as playing guitar, accordion, keyboard and singing. He was known to travel to local towns where he played his accordion and entertained many people in those areas. In his younger years he enjoyed waterskiing, a sport he passed on to his sons, where he spent many hours at the lake towing them behind the boat. Donald also enjoyed snowmobiling with his sons, playing cards, hunting and cooking. Donald also became a great fan of the Riders and made sure he didn’t miss a game on TV. Over the years Donald developed many personal relationships with people around the community and became well known. Donald was always willing to lend a hand to those in need. Donald was predeceased by his father Joseph and mother Evelyn; wife Diane (separated); and by brothers, Andy, Joe, Rick and Frank. He leaves to mourn and cherish his memories, his wife Shirley; sons: Todd (Michelle) Kulcsar, Kevin (Stephanie) Kulcsar; grandchildren: Brant, Kailym, Rallen, Owen, Josh, Blake and Austin; stepsons: Brian (Marlene) Cole, Jeff (April) Cole and Mike (Darla) Cole; step grandchildren: Spencer, Miranda, Chad, Kelly, Chris, Josie and Declan. He also leaves behind 12 surviving brothers and sisters along with their families - Henry, Evelyn, Rosie, Vivian, Rita, Steve, Marion, Leona, Bernice, Ralph, Dorothy and John. The funeral service was held on Friday, September 27, 2019 from the Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre with Rev. Kendall Buhler officiating. Music for the service was led by musician friends of Don, Russ Baldwin, Marilyn Fredsberg, Gene McKenzie and Bill Storos. The interment took place in the Ebenezer Baptist Cemetery, sons Todd and Kevin were the urn bearers. Condolences can be left at baileysfuneralhome.com.

PLAN NUMBER 7-3868 SPACIOUS AND GRACIOUS Spacious and gracious, with plenty of curb appeal, this threebedroom family home contains all the conveniences and amenities that today’s homeowners desire. The entrance is set back under a covered porch, offering protection from the elements in inclement weather. To the left is an old-fashioned veranda that just needs the addition of a porch swing and a couple of pots of geraniums to maximize its potential. The L-shaped foyer includes a coat closet and a powder room, both conveniently located for guests. A triangular display shelf provides a setting for plants and ornaments. Overlooking the front veranda is a study or den that is ideally located for use as a home office. The family area is located at the rear of the home, overlooking a partially covered patio and the back garden. The generously sized great room, open to the foyer through a half-wall, boasts a ceiling that slopes up to the pitch of the roof. The

great room’s fireplace will warm up winter evenings, and a doorway allows access to a covered patio that will expand the living area during the summertime. The kitchen, separated from the great room and dining room by an angled work island, features an L-shaped counter configuration designed to save steps. A pantry with three double doors runs along one side of the dining room, where doors open to the patio. On the other side of the home, located at the back for privacy, is the master suite. A roomy walk-in closet abuts the en-suite, which includes a shower stall as well as a bathtub. Also on the ground floor is the laundry room, with handy access to the double garage. A second display case, this one with a curved façade, occupies a niche near the laundry room. An L-shaped staircase leads to the second floor, really a half floor. Here, Bedrooms No. 2 and 3 are separated by a threepiece bathroom. Exterior finishes include horizontal wood siding, painted pilasters flanking the veranda, partly mullioned windows and decorative

cross-bracing at the two gables, as well as stone accents. This home measures 40 feet, four inches wide, by 53 feet, six inches deep, for a total of 1,719 square feet of living space. The design includes an unfinished basement. Plans for design 7-3868 are available for $815 (set of 5), $880 (set of 8) and $932 for a super set of 10. Also add $35.00 for Priority charges within B.C. or $60.00 outside of B.C. Please add H.S.T., PST, OR G.S.T (where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges.
