City Operations Centre sent to tender By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The City of Yorkton’s Public Works Department is in the middle of a crisis. Their building is no longer habitable, and the 75 people on staff have to be relocated for safety reasons. The problem with the current facility comes down to contamination. Environmental testing confirmed that the presence of petroleum-based
hydrocarbons at the site. As a result, the city’s fleet staff has been relocated to a different property on Sixth Ave. North, while the administration staff is waiting for construction site trailers so they are can move out of the facility. The solution, offered by Public Works, is to build a new facility, referred to as the City Operations Centre. This facility would combine the bulk of the city’s core
services in one location, including water, sewer, drainage, curbs, sidewalks, roadways and streets, signs, traffic, fleet operations, inventory, facility maintenance, landfill, garbage collection and recycling, parks, horticulture, forestry, outdoor fields, cemetery and administration for all of these areas. This project has been in the works since 2010, since the city’s building assessment indicated
that the public works building was a priority for replacement. In his presentation to council, Trent Mandzuk, director of Public Works indicated that they have explored numerous alternate options suggested by council, and the proposed facility is the option that will fit the needs of the departments involved, and allow them to have cross department synergy. However, the project
is not having an easy ride through council. Questions of cost are already on the minds of city council, and the projected cost of the project, which could be in the neighborhood of $20 million, have some councillors wondering if the project is viable. Because the project has been in the works for a long time, funds have been set aside for the build already, and the city can borrow up to $14
million without raising taxes. One of the proposals for reducing the cost of the project was to take the Parks Department out of the plan. Mandzuk suggested this would be a bad idea, because their facility, which is going to be tested for air quality as well, also has hydrocarbon contamination. There is a risk they could be pushed out the same way as Public Works was. Continued on Page A2

mean two per cent for operations increases, with the remaining going towards capital projects. Mayor Bob Maloney said that they while no taxpayer wants to pay more tax, the problem the city faces is that there is an infrastructure gap, and they need to address it. “It’s real. When you’re looking at 100 year road replacements, that’s not tenable. 300 year sidewalk replacement, that’s not going to work. When you see those gaps as a council, I think it’s incumbent that you do something about it.” Maloney, for his part, advocated for a larger tax increase to account for

the infrastructure gap that the city faces, but was overruled by the rest of council. The total impact of the tax increase will be approximately a $5.00 increase per month per household, or a total of $160 per month tax bill for the average Yorkton home. Some of the issues faced by the city involve increased costs that they can’t control. The carbon tax will have an influence on the city’s budget, and the city is not able to access rebates like taxpayers are. They expect the annual amount of carbon tax to be $67,000 in 2020 and rise to $112,000 by 2022, without account-
ing for fuel costs for the city’s fleet. The increase in funding comes after record infrastructure projects in 2019. The city spent $22.9 million over the past year, with projects including: North sanitary storm channel, Highway 9 bridge, Darlington overpass and Landfill bridge, an $11 million project shared between Federal, Provincial and City governments. Broadway East resurfacing from the CN tracks to Highway 9. Whitesand Drive and Pheasant Cove drainage improvements. Continued on Page A2

CITY Continued from Page A1 He also noted that adding the square footage to an existing build would add $1 million to the project, while building a separate building for the department would cost more. Councillor Darcy Zaharia voted against sending the project to tender. While Councillor Mitch Hippsley voted for sending the project to tender, he indicated he could not support a building that would cost $20 million. Mayor Bob Maloney, however, is adamant that the project needs to go ahead. The building, built in 1958, is no longer usable, and the air quality testing has proven that they can’t put it off any longer.
“We’ve done testing, employees should not be in that building. It’s the same situation we were in with the previous Agriplex and our fire hall, we got to a point where those buildings had to be replaced. And unfortunately it seems that councils of the day wait until something has to be replaced.” The tripping point for council is the price, and Maloney understands that, and the cost has been the cause of the delays to the project. But Maloney said they can no longer wait. “Those are the costs of building now, there are new building codes in place, and when you’re building new structures

they’re buildings that will be there for the next 40-50 years, and our staff need to be in a safe work environment.” Mandzuk, for his part,
was clear that the current situation will not work for the department for very long. He said that without a new facility, it’s impossible for them to
maintain the same level of service that they have. With one vote against, the project has been sent to tender, and will be tendered in January of 2020.
Water and garbage fees to increase By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The rates for water and garbage pickup in the City of Yorkton are increasing. The water rate will be increasing by 3.50 per cent, while the base rate will also increase by $3.50. Aron Hershmiller Assistant Director of Environmental Services explained that the need for an increased rate comes down to the infrastructure gap that they are facing. Water mains
are aging, and they need to increase the budget to the replacement program in order to keep on top of the problem. Why does the city need to step up in replacing water mains? The city is facing a large quantity of breaks, and it’s increasing. In 2018, the city had to make 57 repairs, divided between water main breaks and service connection leaks. In ten and a half months of 2019, the city has already had to repair 56 breaks and service connection leaks – and that doesn’t include the two that occurred on
the weekend. This is a dramatic increase from even 2015, where there were a total of 16 leaks repaired Hershmiller noted that replacing water mains was cheaper than repairing leaking ones. As a result, they are going to use the increase in water bills to allow them to increase the budget for water main replacement to $700,000 from $550,000. The replacement schedule for water mains is currently on a 110 year turnover, the increase in budget will reduce that rate to an 85 year sched-
ule. Hershmiller noted that their eventual goal is to have the water main replacement on a 55 year schedule. The increases to the water bill will make the average bill for a household in the City of Yorkton $123.18. While not the lowest cost municipality in the province – that’s Weyburn, which has an average bill of $92.66 – it’s on the low end of municipalities in the province. It’s significantly lower than Humboldt, which has an average bill of $261.24, Warman, with an average bill of $232.56,

and Melville, with an average bill of $215.35. Councillor Randy Goulden noted that some of the municipalities with higher rates had contracted their water to SaskWater, and said that it has proven to be a smart move for Yorkton to keep it in-house to keep costs low. Also going up is the rate for garbage pickup. The monthly rate will go from $10.65/month to $12.15/month for single family dwellings, and from $8.50/month to $9.75/ month for multi-family dwellings. This will be

the first increase in the garbage pickup rate since 2014. While the environmental committee considered moving to a biweekly schedule for garbage pickup, they found this would not result in a significant saving for residents, explained Hershmiller, because many of the costs associated with garbage pickup are fixed costs and would not be reduced by a less frequent schedule. Many municipalities with a higher cost per pickup were the ones with biweekly garbage pickup, he explained.

Tracy Keretesh’s pics turn heads in Sask photo contest By Cory Carlick Staff Writer World class photographers are rare, and a lot of the time people assume that such mystical beings probably only exist in exotic locales, many miles away -- at least in terms of where they live. The actual taking of the photos in exotic locations themselves? Well, that’s just part of the job description. Melville photographer Tracy Keretesh is decidedly more local, at least in terms of where she domiciled. That having been said, she’s taken plenty of pictures in exotic, faraway locales. Her photography has been featured pretty much everywhere. National Geographic, one of the time-honoured litmus tests as an indisputable mark of success in the photographic community, has published her pictures. Harley Davidson has run her work in HOG Magazine, the classic roadster manufacturer’s official publication. The CBC also featured a spectacular image -itself taken in Melville -- a magenta hued tendril of lightning captured perfectly in a storm cloud over the town. Today, however, the locale remains in the Parkland, the subject itself being the province. T o u r i s m Saskatchewan, which holds its ExploreSask photo contest every year, receives thousands of entries showcasing the natural beauty of the area to bolster tourism. As one can imagine, the competition is quite stiff. Thousands of photographers send in stunning images --- one after another, to the point where it can feel difficult to stand out. It often is. The images are spectacular as a matter of course. There is no shortage, and the judge’s job is not particularly enviable, either. Trying to pick the best out of the tidal wave of spectacular images is virtually impossible. Keretesh, however, captured the judge’s attention. Her images were selected by Tourism Saskatchewan for December. Yorkton This Week caught up with Keretesh where she told us a little
bit more about her craft. One of her most famous images is the lightning image, and that’s one of the ones she talked about first. “It’s the Canon fisheye,” said Keretesh of one of her special lenses. “I had the Canon 8-12mm lens. I went out to do lightning that day so I wanted as big a sky as I could get. I’ve got, oh, I don’t know...five hundred lightning pictures from that day? Once I got through that, I didn’t have any other lens to go through. My cell phone picture was much closer than that – you know how wide a cellphone picture is. “As soon as I got through it [the storm], I turned around, took a picture of it and I sent it to Sean [a friend] because I thought it was a hail core -- the white line, since it was hidden in rain. I was like, ‘where the hell are you’, because he followed a different cloud that day. He said, well, where are you?’” He found out soon enough – she was a little too close to the storm clouds for his liking. “He says to me, ‘Get the hell out of there!’ Well, I had already kind of gone through it,” Tracy laughs. “I was down by the dome – the place out of Yorkton. So anyways, that guy that [has] that farm that’s in there, he lost the greenery in front of it. You know the big steel shed? That was no more after that [storm]. I mean, the storm died after that; I chased it down to Churchbridge
(Above) - The photographer in her natural habitat. (Lower left) - The winning image. (Lower right - Keretesh, who has her Divemaster certification, at work.) from there. That just was weird, because I woke up the next morning and Toronto was phoning me; Calgary was phoning me. And I mean, Sean had chased from here to almost British Columbia and back, and he’d been out for five days. I got up that morning with the family sitting at the lake, came back, was having a nap and the storm was over the house. So I left, and twenty minutes later I got the tornado, past Ryan Crouse [another storm chaser]. My thinking though was that if Ryan Crouse wasn’t going any further, I shouldn’t be going, either. “He was on the side
of the road right at the Sakimay reserve, and I went up to the dome. I had it on a tripod. I have a time lapse of all of that somewhere.” Keretesh claims modestly, “I was just lucky with that lightning bolt on the tornado. [Initially when posted online], people said I cheated and put the lightning bolts in. I said, ‘Hey. You wanna see my raw image files?’ Because I can’t add lightning to raw files.” For those that don’t know, RAW files are the
special uncompressed data files that the camera itself generates when creating the images. The original images cannot be modified without leaving a “thumbprint” when changes are made. Justice was served, however. “Three or four of the stormchasers got a hold of the guy that does the Facebook tornado warnings and said, ‘You know, none of us are ever going to announce anything on here unless you apologize to her.’
“It was kind of weird. I was happy. Just having fun with it. But man, if I could have got the tornado with the telephoto lens, you can kind of see it’s grainy with the debris flying around...I think it was three years before I got another one.” Another famous image is the eagle. “What I thought was really freaky was getting that eagle. I got three babies in the nest this year, but last year, since I just spent so much time out there she just got used to me. “I took a biologist out there, Adam, from here in town and he texted me and says one day, ‘I’m a retired biologist and I have been photographing eagles and banding them for forty years,’ he says. “‘How are you getting pictures of these eagles?’ he asked me. ‘Because it looks like you’re right next to them. How far away from the nest are you?’ I said, ‘Oh, I don’t know. Probably, twenty yards at the most? I’m on a bit of a hill, and I’ve got a fairly good telephoto.’ He asks me how far away is the mother. I say maybe about 30 feet, and he asks me, ‘and she doesn’t fly away?’ I said no, she’s sweet. She preens herself, she cleans herself. He says, ‘You’re joking.’ I say no, not at all. You can come out with me if you want. It’s private land, I’m the only one that has access, so come with me.” Sure enough, the biologist tagged along. “I parked the truck, but I didn’t have a good angle so I moved the truck. I moved it forward, I moved it back to his side of the window opening...and she [the eagle] slept through the whole thing. “He said, ‘I can’t believe you can get this close.’ Keretesh also had her famous bison image, as well as one of a dancer, selected in the 2019 ExploreSask photo competition as an honourable mention. Canon Canada also recognized the bison image. You can find out more about Tracy on her website: http://www.tracyportraits.com/ .

Perspective Rail strikes reveals problems in need of fixing

Now that the railways are running again, perhaps now is a good time to turn our attention to problems spilling out from the week-long CN strike. Many of those problems are directly related to the vital nature of CN and CP rail services. But maybe now is also a pretty good time to start understanding the source of the problems that caused the strike in the first place. Understanding both would surely go a long ways towards understanding the problems we all share in his country. It has to begin with everyone in this country understanding how big a problem a rail strike actually is. As per observations made in this space a week ago, November was not a good time for the 5,650 hopper cars per week to be standing idle. It’s not a particular great crop in quality, but there’s a lot of it and it has to be moved. As of this month, the weekly grain car allotment is expected to be reduced to 4,150 cars a week and is expected to stay at that level until March. A tough winter with shipping delays would be devastating, so the focus clearly needs to be finding ways to head off anticipated problems in the moving grain, oil and other products vital to the Western economy. One thing that would seem to be in order is essential services legislation for the CN/CP duopoly that is our Canadian rail system. Premier Scott Moe and others were making the case for such measures, arguing that our economy could not afford another minute of a CN shutdown. The problem, however, is that the long-standing issue of freight costs would not be eased by essential services legislation. It’s not unduly suspicious to think this would, very quickly, become an excuse for the rail companies to up their rates. Certainly, the issue between CN Rail and the Teamsters Canada involving public safety — conductors and others working excessively long hours to deal with backlogs and car shortages — would require more hiring to deal with such an issue. That, of course, would mean higher costs passed on to farmers. Having essential services legislation would take away the employer/union ability to work out a better solution. The same thing can be said for back-to-work legislation that cannot be passed quickly because of the practical delays in recalling the House of Commons. This begs the question whether it was simply better to have allowed the CN strike play out as it did — by using public and political pressure to force both sides to force an equitable settlement at the bargaining table. Unfortunately, it does seem to be increasingly difficult to bridge such differences in a world where it’s getting tougher to see the problem from someone else’s perspective — even when that problem is shared. One gets why many might not have much sympathy for well-paid, unionized rail workers when your own livelihood has so few guarantees. It’s simply been tough on farmers this year and it creates the kind of mental health stress we don’t talk enough about. Certainly, it’s not something that city people much think about. And when you add the notion of the trains not running, it only adds to the stress. But for as easy as it is to be mad at striking workers — and the railways, in general — there is at least one reason to sympathize. If anyone can relate to the complaints and concerns of those 3,200 teamsters — the stress, hardships, pressure and dangers of long hours in the cab of big machinery — it’s surely farmers. Maybe we will do better at solving our problems if we recognize that others may share them. Murray Mandryk has been covering provincial politics for over 22 years.
◆Editorial◆
CSLC 2020’s impact will be enduring O
ne of the big events of 2020 is going to be the Canadian Student Leadership Conference, hosted by Yorkton Regional High School. The group putting it on was recently before council to request fees be waived for the Gallagher Centre and other facilities that they will need to use to actually host the event. As investments go, this is going to be a relatively small one – about $28,000, though it’s not actually a payment, just a loss of potential revenue at the Gallagher for that time period. It’s also an investment worth making, because of the long term potential it represents. The CSLC is bringing thousands of students to Yorkton, and those students are going to remember their experience in this city. These students are also going to go on to be leaders wherever they wind up in life. These students are going to, eventually, raise families, start careers, and generally do all the things people do as they age and build their lives into adulthood. There’s knock-on effects that could happen in the future as these kids go on to their adult lives. Good memories of their time in Yorkton might influence where they want to start careers or families. They may want to return to town as adults because of their experience at CSLC next year, and that’s going to be great for the city. Every city needs young people to keep it thriving. You need families, you need kids to go to school, you need
people to buy stuff from businesses, and you need people to do various jobs throughout town. The CSLC is going to bring a ton of young people to town. If they like the town, they might come back, not as attendees of a conference, but as actual residents. As they’re contemplating where they want to raise their kids, years from now, a good memory of Yorkton might bring them back. Is this a long term investment? Certainly, these kids are still in high school. In some professions that are definitely in need in rural Saskatchewan, like doctors, they probably have a decade of school before they’re going to actually be able to go ahead and start their career. But it’s still going to be influential to these kids, and benefit Yorkton. It could benefit Yorkton even if the kids don’t wind up moving here. Their parents could be making important decisions that have an impact locally. They could do the same in the future. It’s just an excellent opportunity to get people to take a look at the city and show off what makes it great. Of course, this is the best case scenario, but it’s a good reason to send these kids home with a positive impression, and support the work being done by the CSLC committee. Because you never know who is going to be at this conference, what they’re going to do in the future, and how that might affect the Yorkton of tomorrow.

Christmas dinner at Boston Cafe, 1945 Christmas dinner for staff at Boston Café in 1945. By all appearances, management treated their staff to a sumptuous dinner. It was the staff’s turn to sit down and be served. Management usually served Chinese dishes, beer, wine and Chinese whisky with this festive meal. There was usually a cash gift for the waitresses and cooks. Records show that the very popular Boston Café was located at #7 Broadway Street West for several decades. In the early 1950s, Harry Chow was the owner-Manager. The Café was a favorite of the railroad, telephone, power crews and members of the R.C.M.P throughout

CSLC makes application to waive fees By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The City of Yorkton is giving additional support to the Canadian Student Leadership Conference in 2020. Co-chairs Mike Haczkewicz and Johnna McBride made a presentation to council outlining plans for the event and where they could see
the city lending their support to the event. Last year, the city had already agreed to waive the fees associated with criminal record checks for billets. This time, the organizers were in front of council to ask for fees for the use of city facilities to be waived. The conference will make extensive use of city facilities, including the Flexihall and
Curling Rink for a trade show and a banquet, the Agripavillion for a barn dance, the Prairie Oyster bar for an advisor social, the Industrial building for a meal, the swimming pool for a family night, the city campground to host an MGI Experiential Learning event. The total bill for the use of the Gallagher Centre over this week
would have been $28,670. They also requested that the city help them ‘paint the town orange’ through their flower planting program. Unlike in most years, in 2020 the majority of the flowers in the city will be orange, to match the colours of the conference. Darcy McLeod, director of Community Development Parks and Recreation said that their plan for flowers would not actually be an additional cost for the city, it would just influence the flowers selected for the year’s planting program, which would be happening anyway. However, the CSLC will be giving back as well, through legacy projects in the city’s green spaces. They plan on having students plant 250 trees on Logan Green, and will work with the
city for that legacy project. They also intend on doing rehabilitation and improvements to the Ravine Ecological Preserve, using wood chips on the paths and doing landscaping to make it more usable for people in the city. There are also plans to clean headstones at the Yorkton City Cemetary. Advisors will work to restock the Logan Green fish pond. Councillor Aaron Kienle was especially excited about the planned legacy project in Logan Green, saying that he has wanted to see work happen in that area for a long time. One question that the CSLC co-chairs had will have to have additional work done to see if it’s possible. They would like to see if the YRHS signature cowboy hats could
be hung from the light standards for the duration of the conference. The city promised to look into the problem, and councillor Ken Chyz suggested that if the cowboy hats could not be hung from the light standards successfully, an alternate solution would be to put banners up with a cowboy hat graphic. Council was unanimous in approving the CSLC’s requests, and the fees for the use of city facilities will be waived.

Rounded up and matched, Modern Mattress pushed the total to $1,400. Jordan Schenher with Modern Mattress said they wanted to support SIGN because they are proud of what they do in Yorkton, and they want to support the work they are doing. “They make a huge difference. We personally believe
that these services and programs that they offer, there should be more of them and they’re pioneers in their field.” Andrew Sedley, executive director of SIGN, said that’s great to see community-minded businesses working together to support community organizations. This money will be used to support SIGN’s Walk-in Counselling Program, which is at capacity running five days a week. Sedley hopes that they can expand to more evening hours for people who cannot take time off work to take advantage of the program. Pictured are Sedley (left) and Schenher (right).

Every Christmas story The Paper Bag Players have been going throughout the area with their latest production, Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!), which takes a comedic look at the Christmas canon. The Yorkton performance saw the group visit the Yorkton Crossing Retirement Community, delighting residents and guests with comedic riffs on every Christmas classic you can name.
The cast included Kelly Kacsmar, Tami Hall and Christine Bradley, with help from the audience. More than a good time, the show was also a way to spread Christmas cheer, with the cost of admission including a food item for the Soup Haven.
Public consulted on future of Yorkton arenas By Devin Wilger Staff Writer What will the rinks in Yorkton look like? The Farrell Agencies Arena needs ice plant improvements, the Kinsmen Arena is reaching end of life. What’s next for Yorkton’s leisure facilities? The City of Yorkton and aodbt Architecture and Interior Design are exploring alternatives, and a meeting was held at the Gallagher Centre
on Nov. 27 to get public feedback on what the future of Yorkton’s ice needs to be. The current proposal would see expansion to the Gallagher Centre, with an additional ice surface added to the facility beside the current Farrell Agencies Arena. This would also see the addition of renovated dressing rooms. Mitch Strocen with aodbt Architecture and Interior Design said that

the reason behind the project comes down the age of the existing facilities. The infrastructure supporting the Gallagher Centre and the Kinsmen Arena is 40-50 years old, which is putting it at near end of life. The Kinsmen Arena also has additional issues, due to a low roof and humidity problems. While the building is structurally sound, other issues have lead to the proposal of a new ice surface at the Gallagher. The proposed new design would be a straight replacement of the Kinsmen Arena, filling largely the same role in the community. “It’s similar in size and similar in scope and the amount of seating, but with modern additions and efficiencies,” said Strocen. The public consultation is key to the process, Strocen said, because they want to be responsive to what the community needs and wants. While this is a very early meeting, Strocen predicts there will be many public meetings as the project moves forward. “It’s the taxpayers that fund it, so they deserve to
know what’s happening in regards to this project.” The best case scenario is a year for design and a couple years for construction, Strocen said, but there are many other road blocks that can spring up as the process moves forward. This is especially true for this project, because it would involve renovating a facility, the Gallagher Centre, which would still be in use while renovations take place. “There are going to be a lot of moving this project, but we are hoping we can get it done within that time frame. That will depend on approvals, and things like that, and I
sions. If it takes a little longer, that doesn’t bother me.” The other advantage to doing both ice surfaces at a single location is efficiencies in infrastructure, explained Strocen. All of the staff will be at the same location, as will all of the equipment. The other advantage would be for attracting events, as it would be appealing to have a facility with two ice surfaces for a provincial level tournament. But what happens to the Kinsmen Arena? Solutions on offer include demolition, sale, or turning it into an a different recreation facility. One attendee at the consultation thought that the
face. She said that many minor hockey teams struggle to find ice time for practice and games, and will have to travel to surrounding communities. However, she did say that her main issue with the current arenas will be addressed by the plans currently proposed, that being dressing rooms. She noted that the current dressing room setup is especially bad for women, as they are often given a very small area which is difficult to change in and can barely hold one or two players. The proposed renovations have significantly improved changing facilities.

Dreams are a funny thing. You never really know what prompts them, why they contain the things they do, and what they actually mean in the grand scheme of things. You can make guesses, dream interpretation is a popular pastime, but in the end they’re a mystery, something that happens to everyone but nobody has really figured out. But a dream can make you think about things you haven’t thought about in a while, and change the face of your day in ways you don’t expect. In my case, I had a dream about my grandmother, the one on my mother’s side. I’m ashamed to admit that I haven’t thought very much about her in many

Thinking I do with words... years, but then I can’t say I really knew my grandmother very well. She was there for my childhood, but a series of strokes were damaging to her mind and she was mostly quiet and a bit confused for the time we knew each other. She also kept calling me by my brother’s name, which I didn’t like very much, but really that wasn’t her fault. This dream, such as it was, didn’t have her giv-
ing out some profound wisdom she couldn’t have given me while she was alive. She was just there, a reminder that I had a grandmother, but it was a dream that made me think about her. The strange thing is that I was around before she had declined enough to have to move into a nursing home, but I don’t really remember much about her. I remember the raisin magnets on her fridge, the giant enter-

tainment unit in her living room, and the touch lamp that I found completely fascinating. I remember having to break into her house when she locked the keys inside, because I was the smallest and could fit inside the window. In some ways, I wasn’t thinking about her, but instead myself. I’m the youngest among by brothers and sisters, by a wide margin, and time meant that I knew fewer members of my family than them. I didn’t know either of my grandfathers, one died long before I was born, the other soon after – so while I technically met him, I was just a baby so I don’t have any memory of it. My memories of my grandmother on my father’s side were strong - she was a formidable presence until her death at the age of 98 - but on my mom’s side, I don’t know who she actually was in life, just what she was later on. In some ways, it’s a shame that little kids don’t really know what they’re going to wish they had more time to appreciate when they’re adults. The adult me wishes I would have those missing memories from when I was a little kid, that I would have something to recall when I think of my grandmother. The little kid me, meanwhile, just thought those raisin magnets were the greatest. Apparently, somewhere in my mind, it decided I needed to remember my grandmother. And honestly, I appreciate that. I don’t know the science behind dreams, but clearly a part of my mind thought I needed to remember my grandmother, and I’m grateful for it.

Potential for crops other than canola
When it comes to agriculture there always seems a mix of good news and bad news floating around the sector. Certainly there has been a swirl of concern regarding the impact of the federal carbon tax on the cost farmers are incurring this year drying grain that was taken off in less than ideal condition due to weather. That situation was made more tenuous for a day, or two as propane supplies looked threatened by a rail strike, but that cloud has seemed to pass.
At the same time the grain drying concerns swirled a story in the Western Producer about Canadian wheat selling to China caught my eye. To start with it was not a story of doom in terms of trade with China, and that is a key in trade based on population which of late has had some political level beefs with this country which have disrupted trade. By contrast this was a huge good news story, at least in terms of the wheat trade. It reported how Canadian wheat sales to China jumped to 1.75 million tonnes last

normal level of trade if China changes the way it administers the tariff rate quota to be in line with its World Trade Organization obligations, a situation that apparently in under way. That is big news for Canada because there is
a need for a crop other than canola to become valuable enough in terms of trade that it entices farmers to grow it. Canola has carried the day for several years now but the reliance on the crop tends to push crop rotations and that can ultimately lead to greater issues in terms of weeds, bugs and disease. Similarly, there was also a story at the Western Producer online edition that looked at hemp as a crop that could provide an alternative to canola. It is good that the sector continues to look
at alternate crops, and with hemp there does seem to be a huge potential market developing. However, years following the sector recall a lot of new crops that were going to become important cash crops as markets developed. In many cases the markets never quite came into play, or were decidedly small making the crops too niche in nature to fully impact the sector. Still, as it stands, hemp holds a great deal of potential as we move toward a greener future, and the agriculture sector needs its good news stories right now.
Premier Moe releases new growth plan Premier Scott Moe has released Saskatchewan’s Growth Plan: the Next Decade of Growth 20202030. The plan is a roadmap for a strong economy,

2019 Sask. Agriculture Student Scholarship winner Caylee Dorval.
Sask. agriculture scholarship announced The 2020 Saskatchewan Agriculture Student Scholarship Program is now accepting applications from students entering an agriculture-related postsecondary program. “Canada’s youth play a critical role in the continued growth and prosperity of the agriculture sector,” said federal Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau. “Our government is proud to support initiatives such as the Saskatchewan Agriculture Student Scholarship that provide young student leaders with the boost they need to succeed in the agriculture sector.” “Our industry offers unique and exciting opportunities for our province’s youth,” Agriculture Minister David Marit said. “Careers in agriculture are rewarding and challenging as we continue down a path of technological advancement and environmental sustainability.” The scholarship encourages constructive conversations about where our food comes from and how everyone along the value-chain, from the field to table, shares a role in shaping food production. “Agriculture is my passion,” winner of the 2019 scholarship Caylee Dorval said. “The scholarship was an opportunity to kick-start my career in the ag industry. I’m excited to continue my education and to learn more about agriculture and food production in Saskatchewan.” Students are invited to submit a creative threeminute video or 1,000-word essay sharing their food story. One winning scholarship of $4,000 and three runner-up scholarships of $2,000 will be awarded to students in Grade 12 and/or recent graduates entering agriculture-related post-secondary studies in 2020. The deadline for applications is March 1, 2020. For more information on the Saskatchewan Agriculture Student Scholarship, visit www.Saskatchewan.ca/agscholarship. This award is funded through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, a five-year $388 million investment in strategic initiatives by the federal and provincial governments.
this plan sets the stage for a strong, innovative economy that will drive that growth over the next decade,” Moe said. “Our government has always maintained that growth itself is not the goal; rather, growth will afford the ability to invest in a better quality of life for Saskatchewan families and communities. That is the purpose of growth.” The new Growth Plan includes 30 goals for 2030, including key targets of a population of 1.4 million people, 100,000 new jobs, increasing exports by 50 per cent and increasing agriculture value-added revenue to $10 billion. In addition, other goals for 2030 include: • Growing agri-food exports to $20 billion; • Annual private capital investment of $16 billion; • $9 billion in potash sales; • Increasing oil production to 600,000 barrels per day; • Tripling the growth of Saskatchewan’s technology sector; • Building and upgrading 10,000 kilo-
metres of highways; • Supporting communities through $2.5 billion in revenue sharing; and • Reducing surgical wait times to a threemonth target. The Growth Plan introduces new initiatives to help the province achieve its growth targets. Three new international trade and investment offices will be established in Japan, India and Singapore. These offices will help increase exports, attract more investment to the province and strengthen key trading relationships. The Government of Saskatchewan is also introducing two new SaskFirst New Growth Tax Incentives. An agricultural technology incentive will support the application of emerging digital technologies and will help attract agricultural technology companies to Saskatchewan. A new chemical fertilizer incentive will encourage investment in Saskatchewan’s chemical fertilizer sector. To help increase

mining exploration and the value of mining exports, the province will reinstate Provincial Sales Tax exemptions for exploratory and downhole drilling activity. The Growth Plan also affirms the government’s commitment to infrastructure by investing $30 billion in infrastructure over the next decade. Specifically, the province will expand transportation infrastructure, invest in cellular and broadband infrastructure and build Saskatchewan’s export infrastructure. The new Growth Plan includes 20 actions for the 2020s to ensure the province remains on track to accomplish the goals set out in the Plan. These include: • Keeping the province’s finance’s strong and the budget balanced; • Growing the population by keeping more young people in Saskatchewan and increasing immigration to the province; • Maintaining a competitive tax environment and undertaking SaskFirst new growth
incentives; • Delivering on Saskatchewan’s climate change plan to reduce carbon emissions; • Reducing carbon emissions in electricity production and advancing the development of zero-emission small modular reactor technology using Saskatchewan uranium; • Growing Indigenous participation in the economy through the growth of Saskatchewan’s natural resource industries and labour market development; and • Building strong communities by investing in infrastructure. “Our province is blessed with the abundant natural resources, innovative industries and hard-working people necessary to continue our growth to 2030 and beyond,” Moe said. “Through this plan we will build a stronger Saskatchewan that is home to a strong economy, strong communities and strong families.” For more information, please visit www.saskgrowthplan.ca.

Taking a closer look at the spice anise If you a) enjoy reading b) enjoy gardening c) enjoy learning something new, here’s the perfect idea! Curl up on a chilly winter’s evening with a wonderful collection of “The Prairie Garden” books, from 1977 to 2018 (only missing 1984). This collection is available if you are interested. It would make a great Christmas gift for a gardener who is already thinking ahead to next year’s garden! Log on to the address below and find out more! And if you are a gardener you interested in growing and exchanging heirloom beans, visit the Yorkton Horticultural Society website at www. yorktonhort.ca and please leave your name and number if you would like to find out more about either of these items. At this time of year, I always think about the wonderful baking that Sweet Pea used to do in preparation for Christmas. The freezer was full of all our favorites, like her melt-inyour-mouth butter tarts, almond slice cookies, gingersnaps, thumbprint cookies, and springerle cookies. Springerle cookies are known for their unique anise flavor. When you read a recipe do you ever wonder what the story is behind certain spices? I wanted to know more about anise, so I did some homework and this is what I learned. Anise hails from the Mediterranean, and the name itself comes from the Latin word “anisum”, dill. And indeed, if we came upon this plant, we would think that it is a large clump of dill, complete with the delicate leaves and seed heads. While gardeners in Egypt and the Middle East first grew anise thousands of years ago, it travelled eventually to Europe and now there are cuisines all around the world that use this licorice-like flavoring. The seeds are ground up, and used in various taste treats that include baking, candies and
DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
Gardener’s Notebook liquors. Here’s an interesting factoid: because the licorice flavor is known for calming an upset or overworked tummy, ancient Romans used to serve cakes with the flavoring at the end of a special meal, just to be sure every tummy present was soothed. This is where the tradition of serving cake (whether with licorice flavoring or not) at the end of the wedding meal came from! So now we know! If we wanted to attempt to grow anise, it likes light soil, good drainage, and full sun. Plant the seeds 1/4 inch deep in rows two feet apart. Once they are up, we’d have to water the plants regularly until they are well established. They don’t like to be transplanted: we should plant them where we want them. When it is time to harvest the seeds, we would cut the seed heads and let them finish drying in a paper bag, so the seeds are contained when they dry and fall.
After this, we can save some for planting next year, and use the rest in cooking. There is a plant called anise hyssop, named herb of the year for 2019, and it is hardy for zone 3. This gives us a similar flavor experience to anise, and might be a more practical choice for us in terms of finding seeds to plant. But whichever one we choose, it would be a very interesting gardening experiment for next year! The Yorkton and District Horticultural Society will not be holding their regular meetings until the new year, so visit us at www.yorktonhort.ca to see what’s coming up! Have a great week!

Enter Hope. Bring whatever you carry
Thirty-six square feet. Nestled near our clothesline cross, under a towering maple, my tiny backyard retreat stands tall in the snow; a startling slash of crimson on an unblemished canvas. A tangible, colossal exclamation mark. The odd building with the duncecap roof and the screened lift-up sides sits just a few steps from the back door. I enjoy the sight of it year round, but only use it in fair-weather seasons; throughout the summer and on the fringes of spring and fall. I’ve painted the timbers white and furnished
it with flowers in coloured bottles, inspirational signs, cute hat pegs for the straw hats the granddaughters love. Even a small bistro set. All I need for a place of peace. Even a pest strip, strategically hung by the Preacher out of my sightline, so I can write, think and pray without the bother of bugs, dead or alive. I didn’t use the cottage much last summer. After its annual spring opening, a flurry of cleaning and washing and setting out the traditional decorations by my two middle ladybeans (wear-

ing straw, playing ladies of the manor), the goodweather season slid too soon past. Spring proved cold. Then came long winds that meddled with the screens and without a backward glance, summer galloped off. Its season will come round again. But if not, I have its memories. Guests and grandbeans love to
visit in the rustic cacoon. Sisters and friends, even the Preacher, in summer’s heat, sit awhile behind the screens, enjoying that view of the backyard. And when my sis-in-law travelled West last summer, we took a morning to paint there. Her first painting. I can still hear her laughter; see her sparkling eyes.
It’s hanging on the bedroom wall now, she says. A small sculpture sits on the ledge outside the largest window. A single word. HOPE. The word also perches on an inside shelf. I need that word. I love that word for its connection to my faith. Christian hope, rather than mere crossing one’s fingers and wishing, stands tall and solid, like my red cottage. Against a stark and cold landscape of sorrow and death and ceaseless longing for meaning, the hope Christ brings is the colossal red exclamation mark most people ignore. Yet because of Jesus, we can put our absolute trust in every promise of God, knowing that in his time,
everything God promises will add up to YES. We sit in the middle of the first week of Advent; the period leading up to the celebration of Jesus’ birth. Hope week. I, like the rest of our world, need the reminder to keep hope. Not to just visit it occasionally, like my red cottage (a mere pleasant pause in pleasant times, with pleasant guests). But to inhabit it daily. To compel others into its rest. Into the certainty that, come what may, Christian hope offers permanent shelter, because only that babe born in a manger paves the way to peace with God and eternal joy. Enter hope. Bring whatever you carry.
A group of very dedicated volunteers assembled in a very short period of time, a parade of over 45+ floats involving 60+ vehicle units, with well over 250+ walkers, and even more handing out candy and keepsakes. I can't even guess the count of the attendees. None of us recall seeing Broadway packed so tightly, or deep. The best part and MOST importantly, no one was hurt or injured.... except for (perhaps) hundreds of candy canes. I may Marshall the parade, but NONE of it would happen without the support of so many. Yorkton (if I may be so bold) would like to thank: • The MANY Yorkton businesses that financially sponsor and support the parade in many ways. • The many businesses and community organizations that work so passionately to produce some serious "wow" factor floats. • For ALL of the walkers and Candy or keepsake deliverers. • For the enthusiasm and support of the parade watchers - the people of Yorkton, the kids that were positively oozing Christmas Cheer. We should also recognize the fantastic community minded volunteer board at YBID who all took to the task of running such an event - for the joy it spreads. The parade would also not be possible without the ongoing support of the City of Yorkton, The Yorkton Chamber of Commerce, Canadian Western Harvest Centre who serve in lieu of Santa’s Reindeer (they' re still in training for this year’s trip) and most notably, the fine and passionate volunteers of Parkland Search and Rescue. Kudos to all of you! Yorkton is indeed - "the place where good things happen". Merry Christmas Everyone! Andrew Rae YBID Board Member Santa Parade Sub-Committee Chair & Parade Marshall

Most of the World Is Invisible “For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child. I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.” — 1 Corinthians 13:9-12 NIV

Terriers have a week of mixed results By Devin Wilger Staff Writer It was a mixed week for the Yorkton Hyundai Terriers, with results from across the range, winning, losing and going into overtime. It was a close game, but in the end the Yorkton Hyundai Terriers wound up being clipped by the Kindersley Klippers on Tuesday evening. Kindersley was first on the board late in the first period, with Liam Fraser, assisted by Brett Neumeier Scott McKenzie, scoring for the visiting team. Fraser was also the second person to score, but it took him until the third period to do it, with an unassisted goal to kick off the first. Then it was the Terriers’ turn to find the net. Keenan Taphorn, assisted by Alec Zawatsky and Kaeden Taphorn, got their first, a reminder of why the Taphorns coming back to Yorkton was something to get excited about. Ryan Granville tied up the game, with a power play goal helped by Kurri Woodford and Carson Henry. The game sat tied until over 17 minutes into the third, when Noah Lindsay
got the game winning goal. Scott McKenzie and Brendon Borbely were credited for the assist. The player of the game for Kindersley was Matt Sankner in net, who save 40 of 42 shots on goal from the Terriers. Phillippe Bond, who was tagged with the loss for the Terriers, had fewer shots to contend with, saving 31 of 34. The Battlefords North Stars were in Yorkton on Nov. 27. It took until the second period before anyone was on the board. The Battlefords were the first to find their way between the posts, with a goal from Quintin LoonStewardson assisted by Elijah Loon-Stewardson. This was also the last time the North Stars would find the net. Chantz Petruic, assisted by Alec Zawatsky and Ryan Granville, tied the contest. Kaeden Taphorn assisted by Chantz Petruic and Alec Zawatsky, had a power play goal to give the Terriers the lead. Jordan Guiney scored, with help from Callum MacDonald and Brett LeGrandeur, to give the Terriers a bit of security. That ended the second period, but it didn’t end
Alec Zawatsky had a good week with the Terriers, scoring several goals. the Terriers’ scoring. Alec Zawatsky started off the third with a goal, assisted by Ryan Granville, and Jordan Guiney. Steven Norum finished it off, with an empty net goal assisted by Ryan Ries and Ryan Granville. Fresh off being named Sasktel SJHL Goaltender of the Week for last week, Ryan Ouellette put in another star performance, saving 42 of 43
shots over the evening. Other stars of the game were Alec Zawatsky with a goal and two assists, and Ryan Granville, who was credited with three assists. The Yorkton Hyundai Terriers met the Kindersley Klippers for the second time this week at the Hockey Night in Canora event at the Canora Civic Centre. There was no love lost between the two teams,
as an aggressive contest ensued. Kindersley started strong in the first, with an unassisted goal from Jaxon Georget kicking off scoring. By the end of the first they were up by two with Noah Lindsay, assisted by Boston Maxwell, getting the second notch on the board. It took until the second for Yorkton to score, with Chantz Petruic assisted by Alec
Zawatsky, getting the Terriers’ first goal of the game. Zawatsky tied it up in the third, with Petruic getting the assist with Keenan Taphorn. But the tie was not the only story of the third period. Both teams were getting penalties across the board, with a total of 38 minutes of penalties between the two teams. In overtime it was Petruic who saved the day, getting the goal and taking the overtime win for the Terriers. Goaltender Ryan Ouellette took the win for the Terriers, with 34 saves of 36 shots. Matt Sankner took the loss for Kindersley, saving 48 of 51 shots. The week’s results keep the Terriers at the top of the Viterra division, with a record of 18-12-1-0, and 37 points. This is a full 13 points above the team in second, the Melville Millionaires, who sit at 24 points and a record of 9-16-2-4. The Terriers next travel to Pinehouse to take on the La Ronge Ice Wolves. The team will then be on a road trip, with stops in Nipawin and Melfort before finally coming home again on Dec. 11.
Zawatsky returns to where German career started By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer It was a step back in time for Ed Zawatsky. Recently, Zawatsky attended a gathering of players in Straubing, Germany gathering to pay tribute to Bill Trew, who played a dozen seasons with the Tigers. “He approached me about a year ago (to attend),” said Zawatsky. “It was 60 players who had played with, or against him.” While Zawatsky started his German career in Straubing he and Trew had been an opponent, as Zawatsky was gone from the Tigers by the time Trew arrived. The trip was one that surprised Zawatsky in terms of the emotions it evoked. “There’s thing you sort of put on the shelf in life,” he said, adding that was the case with his pro career in Germany that came to an end after the 2001-02 season. “It opened up again for me.” Zawatsky left Straubing for Deggendorf,
Ed Zawatsky back on the ice in Germany. Ed Zawatsky then Neuwied and finally Landshut, and has not been in the Tigers city since 1997 when he changed teams. “I switched to a rival, and never really went back ... So, I wasn’t sure what to expect,” he said. But any hard feelings that might have existed was long gone. “Everything was so welcoming,” said
Zawatsky. Then the good memories flowed. Zawatsky said he had had a few games in the East Coast Hockey League and American Hockey League after four years at Colorado College, when he first signed with Straubing. As part of the event Zawatsky suited up and played a mini game.
Not surprisingly for a player who scored 199 regular season goals in four seasons in Straubing, he took a pass in the mini game, went in alone and scored high over the netminder’s glove. “It was like a little bit of fantasy camp,” he said. The hockey bug was back. “I hadn’t bought a pair of skates since I quit,” said Zawatsky, so he borrowed a pair from son
Alec (currently a Yorkton Junior Terrier). “I told my wife if I had had my own skates I might have scored two, or three. “She said “no you couldn’t have’.” But that little game in Germany reminded Zawatsky how much he loved the game. “I miss it more than ever to tell you the truth,” he said in an interview with Yorkton This Week Monday. “... I sat on the
bench and just soaked in ... you realize it’s your happy place.” Zawatsky of course is still involved in the sport, coaching the ‘AAA’ Midget Maulers, but he admitted after the German trip he’d like to find a rec team to play with to get back on the ice as a player. “It’s more development (of young players) now, but I miss playing,” he said.

For Dec 4, 2019 Paper
Great news for fans of basketball For anyone who is a basketball fan the last couple of weeks have offered some good news. The Canadian Elite Basketball League made three rather significant announcements, and since the Saskatchewan Rattlers are part of the league, the inaugural champions in fact, this is rather big for fans here. The first announcement was that the league is adding a seventh team in 2020, the Ottawa BlackJacks. I must say the team announcement made me smile; “Named after the most elusive jackrabbit on the planet, the Ottawa BlackJacks are not your typical bunny. BlackJacks are incredibly fast, capable of reaching speeds in excess of 70 kilometres per hour and
can outrun many of its opponents. Tremendous leapers, the BlackJacks have very strong legs and can jump more than 10 feet, which is the same height as a basketball net. Equipped with a black tail and incredible defence, the BlackJacks are often hungry creatures because of their work ethic and can consume large quantities of food. BlackJacks travel the world throughout the year but love to return home to Ottawa during the spring and summer months, when they are most productive. With such a large basketball community in the Ottawa area, BlackJacks population is set to climb substantially in the coming year.” I had expected the league might then have
CALVIN DANIELS
Sports added a team in the west to maintain balance, as there are many obvious locales a team might settle; Victoria, Vancouver, Calgary and Winnipeg jumping immediately to mind, but that did not happen. Still I see the CEBL as potentially at least a 12-team loop in the not so distant future, and that is good news, if it happens, for Canadian basketball, as the league has a set
ratio of players that must be Canadian. The CEBL then made news again with a rather interesting deal signed. The league and CBC Sports announced a three-year content partnership, making the public broadcaster the premier media partner of Canada’s only First Division professional basketball league. “CBC Sports will offer live streams of all
70 regular season CEBL games and its five playoff contests on the free CBC Gem streaming service, cbcsports.ca and the CBC Sports app for iOS and Android devices. That is interesting to be sure but CEBLTV was doing a solid job of online coverage. Of more intrigue CBC will also provide broadcast coverage of seven regular season games and the CEBL Championship Weekend in Edmonton, (it was in Saskatoon this year). This is bigger news by far since good ratings could see the number of broadcast games grow, which is reasonable that a Canadian broadcaster look favourably at broadcasting a Canadian league. And, finally the CEBL has already released its
2020 schedule. The season tips off Thursday, May 7, 2020 when the expansion Ottawa BlackJacks debut on the road against the Niagara River Lions at 7 p.m. Our Rattlers start the season on the road May 8 in Abbotsford to face the Fraser Valley Bandits, then open at home at the SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon May 14, a Thursday night, against the same Bandits. For anyone who has not watched a Rattler game, if you enjoy basketball, they are certainly worth finding online. Since the league uses FIBA rules, quarters are only 10-minutes each, so the game moves along at a good pace. The season runs May to the first week of August.
Maulers take a loss against Swift Current By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The Yorkton Secon Maulers had a tough match on the weekend. The Swift Current Legionnaires were in town for a Sunday afternoon contest, and they were raring to go. Swift Current started off the scoring in the first, with a goal from Cash Arntsen, assisted by Brandon Von Hagen. Their second goal came with just over two minutes left in the period, Jaxon Martens scoring
Connie Brown 30 years
Mike Hall 7 years
The Legionnaires then cemented their lead in the third. Logan Linklater scored with an assist from Spencer Bell and Jaxon Martens. The final goal of the game was another for Swift Current, with a power play goal from Riley Dekowny assisted by Jaxon Martens and Brett Fogg.

So, you want to be an RCMP officer? - PART 1 By Cory Carlick Staff Writer Word travels fast in Yorkton and, indeed, the entire Parkland region. By now, a good amount of RCMP officers in various detachments across the Parkland area are aware that, for the better part of four months, I have been doing RCMP conditioning and training; specifically the PARE exam in order to show a full cycle of what is required to successfully meet the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s fitness requirements. Originally, I was going to write this article as a master document, but since so many people have stopped me (both officers and curious members of the public) curious to find out how the training is going, I thought that it might be more fitting to chronicle the process as it happens at key junctures of the training. It may also assist members of the public who are considering joining the RCMP, giving them a good idea of what they can expect when preparing for readiness for the test. This test is a major component of the RCMP; if you cannot pass the PARE exam, you will not earn your badge (much less your Serge) and you will be sent home. It is as simple as that. The good news is that if you’re prepared to treat the test with respect, go in with your eyes open, provide yourself sufficient (and realistic) time to train, the test is very passable — even if you don’t consider yourself very fit right now. It will push you, but you can work toward it. Furthermore, after passing your RMAQ, polygraph and background check — which can take several months to up to a year or two to go through the process of being accepted as a Cadet into a Troop at Depot, realistically, you should have plenty of time to prepare for the PARE. Since you’ve got to pass it within your first week of arriving at RCMP HQ, why not load the bases and really crush the test? Plus, you’ll have a leg up, feel great, and confident when you get the nod from your facilitator. Don’t forget: The RCMP absolutely wants you to succeed. What is the PARE? The PARE is a deceptively simple looking test, used to gauge the fitness capability of RCMP cadets. It is comprised of a circuit with obstacles that must be completed under a certain time frame in order to pass. The fitness evaluation can often be underestimated by cadets, and the circuit is designed to simulate a relatively straightforward ground pursuit of a suspect. The exam’s difficulty
lies in the combination of cardiovascular and weight training functions at the same time. The two functions often work against each other, and so when you are running at an elevated heart rate, your ability to exert physical force becomes impaired. Have you ever tried to download too many things at once on the internet and it gets slower? It’s the same idea. Your heart is pumping blood and your body has to work harder to get oxygen. You can focus on running or lifting singly, but once you double up and have to shift gears at the same time, you can’t physically push as much after running because your body’s battery is trying to power too many things at the same time. If you try and run the microwave, a ceramic heater, a vacuum and a toaster on the same circuit, you’ll trip the breaker and the power shuts off. This is why conditioning is so important. Even the fittest cadet, when they arrive at Depot, typically gravitate toward one or the other - either they’re runners, or they’ve been pumping iron. In the interest of full disclosure, I have successfully passed the PARE in years past. At the time I took it, my time was 4:14. I am also a competitive dragon boat racer and rower, and had just come off heavy training that year. That having been said, while 4:14 is an OK time, at the time RCMP requirements were to take the PARE twice. PARE #1, as it is called, needed to have been completed in 4 minutes and 45 seconds; PARE #2, which is the same test but with the bag carry weight increased to 100 lbs instead of 80, had to be done with a time of 4 minutes or less. You don’t need to worry so much about PARE #2 - if you pass PARE #1 at Depot, you’ll have so much training and physical activity at Depot you’ll be able
The Push/Pull machine simulates the apprehension of a subject (in simpler terms, arresting someone.) The weights must be moved in controlled arcs. ideal scenario to redo the PARE, as it would give a good idea as to what would happen if someone took the test without preparing for it. Had I taken it at an optimum training fitness level like before, it would not be indicative of what you might experience if you walk a bit but aren’t really super athletic — and really, what is there to learn there? So the idea is to show the process to pass, having done so before. In short, the idea was to do the test at Depot twice: the first, I knew would be a flunk, and then spend the next several months training to get my fitness level back up, verily and duly chronicled. Then, once back at a clean bill of health, so to speak, take the PARE a second time with a passing grade. The test itself is fairly straight forward. Your heart rate is taken prior to taking the exam, and then you are given your marks to start. The circuit is comprised of a run around a track. You then perform a 5 foot running jump, ascend and descent small platform of stairs, jump over several 18-inch hurdles with a movable top, and then a vault. You cannot use your legs to assist you with the vault; it must be done with your upper body. After clearing the vault, you must perform a controlled fall on a mat. The RCMP facilitator, an experienced Constable, will give you a verbal indication whether it is a front fall (on your chest), or a back fall (yes, on your back). The type of fall is randomized to assess your reaction time. (As your oxygen levels are being used due to cardio, it is a good way to estimate the effects of tetany.) You then go around pylons in a particular direction. You then move on to the push-pull machine, which simulates the effect of apprehending an uncooperative subject with cuffs. The machine
to PARE #2 no problem. So, don’t agonize over the extra weight. If you make it to Depot, the RCMP will train it into you. They’re pretty darned good at it. In arranging this with the RCMP, who was aware of my fitness level, the goal was to demonstrate two things: if you want to be an RCMP officer, it is very doable so long as you train properly, safely and correctly. This means allowing yourself sufficient conditioning time. Secondly, don’t underestimate it. More on that later. Pooched with a purpose The move to Yorkton from my original homestead was a good three day drive, and when you relocate, it takes a few months to acclimatize to your new environment. In this case, it meant my normal cardiovascular and weight training took a nose dive, meaning in a very practical sense I couldn’t train at all for nine months. This brought my fitness level down from a provincial level rower to closer to an average level of fitness. This made it an
Resets and errors cost you: expect this if you don’t allow sufficient time to condition correctly.

is remarkably effective. The push pull machine is 85 lbs, and you must do three controlled arcs of motion, shoving in the weights, with full control of your core and lower body. You are then asked to do three full burpees (fall to the ground at front, use your arms and core to get back up, jump up and clap, then the same with rear,) and repeat the process. Finally, you then do the pull portion, which is actually more difficult. After this, you do the torso bag carry. An 80 lb bag (100 for full members) must be carried 50 feet. This section is not timed. You either pass or fail. I estimated at my fitness level at the time, my time would be approximately 7-8 minutes, allowing for an additional three minutes of penalties. If you miss anything, such as using your legs for assistance during the vault, say, knock off any of the fence bars, touch the mat with your feet with the 5 foot jump — you must start that section over and/ or face a timed penalty which is added to your time. Screw-ups cost you: you can easily compound your time exponentially as you become tired and make stupid mistakes. Mistakes that cannot be made when a criminal is running away - possibly to harm someone else. And that is why the RCMP makes sure that you can handle this test. As tough as the test is, there’s an undeniable energy at Depot. Even though I knew this PARE #1 would not be a pass, I had a room full of RCMP cadets who were very supportive. Many came up to me to make supportive comments — “You’re doing this voluntarily?” one Cadet joked. But make no mistake —
the Cadets and staff do look out for each other. As Cadets took the test before me, other Cadets shouted out encouragement, with clapping and pop. It wasn’t phony, either. Even though the stakes were high, everyone helped each other with morale which can really help. Cst. Meredith Darrah was my facilitator, and she was great. There are certain areas that tend to be common “gotchas” if your fitness needs a bit of a tweak. Pylon direction was common; some had difficulty with the vault or the jump. It’s the endurance mainly; you need to pace yourself. On average, areas of fatigue became evident in various degrees by the end of the second lap or the third. Though I knew this, I was no different. Sure enough, I was right on board with the mistakes as predicted: I got discombobulated with the pylons. This is also common with newer Depot Cadets), and my body started to give out a bit. My final time for test one was 10:31, of which 3 minutes roughly were penalties. I did a warm-up run, in which I completed the bag carry (seen in the photos) but because my core/cardio needed work, my body gave out after the push/ pull and the bag carry was technically not evaluated for the test, as seen in my evaluation sheet. PARE #1 is now 5:45, but it is still more than double the acceptable time and well over two thirds of the old PARE #1. Back to the drawing board. Fortunately, there was a plan. The advantage of knowing your body as a result of years of competitive training is that even if you’ve had real life get in the way of your training for a while, you can generally predict what you need to build on, roughly how many months it will take, and what steps are required to get there. The first step, I knew, was to increase my cardio, in order to gradually get my heart’s ability to pump the blood safely to where it was. My weight training, ironically, wasn’t too bad; hauling boxes and heavy crap for a 3 500 km schlep no doubt assisted in that. To that end, I partnered with the University of Regina RCMP bootcamp to do training. My cardio still suffered, as the students in the program had already been training at the level I had 9 months earlier, so they were able to keep a pace I hadn’t yet become reaccustomed to, so the Continued on Page A18

MCCLENAGHAN - Stuart James McClenaghan passed away unexpectedly in his sleep on November 18, 2019 at the age of 44 years. Stuart was the first of four sons born to Joanne and Ron McClenaghan. Although, the smallest of the four, he took his big brother status seriously and wouldn’t hesitate to instruct or protect his siblings. He grew up in Yorkton attending elementary, junior high and high school there. Stuart was involved in sports at a young age but his primary interest was music, specifically the trumpet. He participated in music programs throughout his school years doing every band related activity imaginable. His love of music had him travelling extensively with the bands performing at many special events. He won several awards and attended the University of Mary in North Dakota on a music scholarship. After earning a Business Diploma at Moose Jaw Tech, Stuart’s work took him to many different cities including Moose Jaw, Regina, Edmonton, Saskatoon and Yorkton. Over these years, he made countless friends and stayed in touch with almost all of them, as evidenced by dozens of condolence messages on his Facebook page. He was an unwavering fan of the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Edmonton Oilers (even in the rough years). Stuart is pre-deceased by his mother, Joanne, his Grandparents, Stuart and Reva Laing and Wilbert and Eileen McClenaghan, his uncle, Jim McClenaghan and aunt, Brenda Laing. He is survived by his father, Ron (Yorkton) and his brothers and families, Jeff and Ashley (Saskatoon), David, Andria, Emileigh and Marshall (Yorkton) and Gary, Pamela, Brooks and Rylee (Edmonton), his uncle Bob Laing (Leader) and his aunt Holly McClenaghan (Lumsden) and numerous cousins, relatives and lifelong friends. Stuart was a friend to all and was always enthusiastic to lend a hand to anyone in need. Whether entertaining children of family or friends, spending quality time with his grandma Reva, or any social gathering with friends, he was always engaged and present in the moment. He was described as having “a huge heart in a small frame”. His relentless smile and hearty laugh will be missed. There will be a celebration of life for immediate family. If you wish to make a donation in Stuart’s memory, please donate to the Salvation Army kettles this Christmas.

picions and suspense while exposing the foibles and peculiarities of being human and living in community with other humans. Ticket Man, Jim McCallum, (306-744-2214) has already been fielding requests for tickets from regular patrons of the Saltcoats community annual dinner theatre that has built a reputation for providing good drama well-presented and combined with a popular “yet to dis-
appoint” totally enjoyable meal. Truly a community effort, the function mobilizes volunteers from age 8 to 90 plus. In addition to providing money for upkeep and special projects within the Hall, several community projects benefit each year from proceeds raised. One 2020 recipient will be the currently being renovated Saltcoats Museum. Audiences will appreciate the skills of an
inter-generational cast and the mix of familiar actors including some that have returned to the stage after a time of absence. An interesting piece of trivia is that Anderson Lake, upon the shores of which Saltcoats is located, has for decades been noted as a favored home for myriads of tiger salamanders. Whether that connects with this drama will, for now, remain part of the mystery.
BE A COP Continued from Page A15 fatigue at the weight component was affected. In order to keep up, I temporarily left the program with a target of getting my cardio back to the point of being able to run a kilometre in approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds, then return to the U of R’s Dr. Paul Schwann Centre with that baseline for the full 6 weeks. The reason for this is because if you can push yourself to that kind of a full tilt run without getting too tired, you allow yourself a minute and 30 seconds to allow for errors but still pass the test. It also means that, because the body is able to handle that load without gasping for air, you’re less likely to have performance issues that cause clumsiness from tetany during the vault, push/pull, and so on. There would be no weight training until that point. Your mileage may vary; you have to know your body especially for your key sports. But that was the start. The body is a remarkable vessel; its capacity to be stretched and gradually improved is remarkably elastic. This is where HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) training comes in handy. HIIT training is a fancy way of saying you want to keep your body from being able to predict your workout. The reason for this is because your body adapts. If you
run for the same intervals at the same time each day, your body will actually anticipate this and adjust how hard it works so it doesn’t use more resources than required. The problem is, we want the body to use more resources than required, to build endurance. The harder the body works (within reason), the more endurance we build up and the faster we shave time off. The heart also becomes accustomed to the intake and will generate more bloodflow without straining the system as much. I typically do my running at the Horizon Credit Union Centre in Melville because five laps is a little over one kilometre. Both the RCMP and many municipal police forces in Canada recommend being able to do a 2.4 km run in approximately 13 minutes. It’s a good baseline; if you can do that you’ll be able to do the cardio portion of the PARE without getting too tired with sufficient reserves for the weight portion (push/pull and bag carry.) Beginning around June, I set to begin three laps -- so a little over a half a kilometre (actually, closer to 600 metres.) My aim was to shave approximately 11 seconds off each week. You don’t want to push your heart too quickly -- you want to gradually stretch its capacity and then you increase. Beginning the cardio after Depot Pare #1, I started with a 1 minute jog, one minute training speed interval pace. My time was a little over 6 minutes, 42 seconds, which isn’t a good time, but the idea is to acclima-
tize the heart to work a little harder after an extended period of disuse. That averages to roughly 14 minutes per kilometre, or roughly 30 minutes for 2.4 km. Each week I shaved approximately 30 seconds off my time. At the current time, I am averaging 3:46 per 600 m, with my per kilometre time at just under 6 minutes (5.76). I’m averaging around 14 minutes for 2.4 kilometres, which is about a minute away from the target time. However, my heartrate is still a little too high - not so high, so I now push myself holding that time so my heart does it with a little less strain and once I can do 2.4 km in 12 minutes comfortably then I’ll move on to the weight training component before returning to the Dr. Paul Schwann Centre. I figured I’d be looking at about 18 weeks (about 4 months) of training from my first Depot punt in June allowing for 3-5 training sessions a week. Sometimes life gets in the way with work so add some extra time. As of writing, we’re at about 4 months. PART 2 - Breakdown of the PARE I’m still doing conditioning, as of course I am balancing this alongside my regular work duties. Part II, when ready, will feature a detailed breakdown of each component of the PARE test itself, as well as how I trained for it and whom I worked with to meet those goals. I’m being followed, filmed, and photographed while doing this, so there will be a lot of visuals to go along.

Christmas board game gifts So the calendar has flipped to December, so it’s time to think of holiday gifts for the board gamer in your life. Keep it simple suggests Guilder Jeff Chasse. “My goal is simple -to learn games that are fun,” he offered, adding he has just bought a Farkle board for his parents for Christmas (Shh don’t tell them). “It is a wood decorative board looks like a nice crib board. Reason is they enjoy the game and it can be played with a large number of people and friends.” Other gift games Jeff has given in the past included Tsuro, zombie dice, and Partido. Adam Daniels went hog wild on his holiday gift suggestions breaking things down depending on what sort of gift you seek. As a ‘stocking Stuffer’ Adam suggested Pairs. “The game of Pairs is easy to learn and loads of fun. This game is just a special deck of cards, and it plays easy and yet it is so addictive you will continually want to play one more. While this game could be mostly scene as a filler game, you could play it the whole night. It comes with so many different variants to play, and it was designed as a pub game if you really want to have a good time.” For larger gifts Adan
went with Pandemic, especially as an intro game for someone. “Perhaps the best board game ever, at least to me,” suggests Adam. “Everyone should have a copy of this great game, it is also a great game to start a collection. I am sure there were co-op games before Pandemic but this became the measuring stick for all co-op games since, and none have matched it in my opinion. The base game would be great for anyone, but the Pandemic Iberia version might be a better a gift. Iberia takes a little from expansions and uses those mechanics to make a better game experience compared to the base game. Iberia also looks amazing when set up, when on the table it has a very old timey aesthetic. I guess it comes down to the person you’re buying for Pandemic as a sleek and modern feel. Iberia feels older while using wooden pieces and just the overall look. Another of interest might be Zombiecide. “There are many types of gamers in the world. Board, video and mini gamers are just a few. Most people will pick a lane and stay in it,” reasoned Adam. “That is probably wise because in the long run it would probably save you money. I am not one those people. I have loved mini games for a long time and
Nominate a charity for Deeds Well Done By Devin Wilger Staff Writer There are plenty of worthy charities in Yorkton and area, and MR MIKES wants to know about them. The annual Deeds Well Done campaign collects nominations for local charities in every community where Mr. Mike’s operates, with the selected charity getting a donation for $500. CV Sastry, general manager at the Yorkton MR MIKES location, said they feel it’s important to donate to a local charity. The charity receiving the donation has to be one which is local to a MR MIKES location, and the goal of the program is to support the communities where they operate. A similar donation will be made in each of the 44 communities where MR MIKES operates, including Yorkton. “Being a business in the community we realize that we have a responsibility to our community as well.”
While the restaurant also supports other events throughout the year, the Deeds Well Done promotion is different because it’s taking a cue from what people who visit the restaurant feel is important. “We want to make sure our guests have the ability to select a charity of their choice.” One of their hopes is that the program can raise the visibility of a charity as people nominate them and encourage others to do the same, Sastry said. Previous winners from Yorkton have included the Yorkton Regional Health Centre and Paws and Claws Animal Rescue. Those who nominate also receive a gift card for $25.

THE MEEPLE GUILD (Yorkton) meeple.guild@gmail.com have played them since I was probably 10. Most people who play board games are turned off by getting into minis, for a number of reasons. Which is why Zombiecide is a great game since it is both. It comes with so many zombie minis and is played on a board. It is a great gateway game to get people into mini gaming. It also sneakily teaches some fundamental rules for most mini games, (movement, line of sight etc). “It also helps Zombiecide is just a fun co-op experience, which can be enhanced with further expansions, or if you are really into the game painting the minis themselves which in itself is a fun part of the hobby.” For a gift under $30, Adam turned to Lanterns. “This is a fun cheap tile laying game. The whole point of the game is to lay tiles and make the best display of lantern display. It is a bit longer than a filler game but isn’t going to take hours to play. It is a fun and relaxing time and would be a welcome addition to any collection or just a good cheap game to give as a gift. The rules are quick, and easy to learn even for nongamers. The other games
I recommended tend to be on the expensive side but this game is under $30 and would make a great gift,” he suggests. In my case I do suggest knowing who you are giving the gift too. If it is to a non-gamer, with a young

chore just knowing what they have in their collection, so you might be best to opt for games that are less well-known in Canada, but are great games. I’d start with Tasso. It’s a wonderful, all-wooden components game that looks nice on the coffee table, and is easy to learn and quick to play. It can be found at www.ludarden.com From the same company check out Totem, another all wood offering that will look great on a table to entice interest, and a veteran game should appreciate its aesthetics.

Cookies for everyone You have to come early to the St. Andrew’s United Church Cookie Walk. People lined up well before the 12:30 p.m. opening of the doors to get their choice of sweet treat,
filling pails with their favorites as soon as the doors opened. The cookie walk is an annual event at the church, and the 2019 walk was the 19th entry.

family I’d suggest finding a nice checker set, buying two, and putting all 48 checkers into one box with a board. Then do a bit of ‘Net research and print the rules from some of the best games. With a double set of checkers you open the board to having literally dozens of games played on it without adding a thing. Some of the best would be Lines of Action, Croda, Dameo, Murus Gallicus, Bashni, Breakthrough and Turkish checkers. If you have a diehard board gamer on your list it’s a much harder
