RCMP shows support The Yorkton RCMP showed their appreciation for health care workers in the area, parading past the Yorkton Regional Health Centre and Yorkton and District Nursing Home on July 14. Some police cruisers were decked out in signs and

decorations to give a message to the staff at the facilities, who are dealing with increased pressure due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Library hosting summer fun By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Kids looking for something to do this summer need look no further than the Yorkton Public Library. The library is continuing to offer programming all summer, whether virtually or outside in area parks and

green spaces. Virtually, the library offers different programs each day of the week, including Monday Madness, crafts on Tuesdays, experiments on Wednesdays, story time on Thursdays and fitness activities on Fridays. Materials for crafts can also be picked

up outside the library for kids who want to take part but don’t have access to the things they need. For example, they’ve done cooking videos, science experiments and crafts, explained Courtney Anderson with the Yorkton Public Library. While not able to do something in person,

they’re trying to keep everything as consistent as possible through the pandemic, with plenty of activities for kids as well as prizes for participants that will be awarded at the end of the summer. There will also be programs happening at outdoor locations, whether outside the library or at

parks around the city. That will include a Story Stroll at Logan Flats from Aug. 11 to 17, a Nature Scavenger Hunt at Ravine Ecological Preserve, and Story Time at the Park on Aug. 13. The advantage to parks and outdoor activities is that social distancing can be maintained,

while still allowing for programming to take place, Anderson said. The events at the library can be found through their social media channels. That means either Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Youtube. People can also call (306)783-3523 for more information.

Farmer’s Market is back at the Mall By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yorkton Farmer’s Market is back at the Parkland Mall in the city. Brendon Purton with the farmer’s market explained the market has been going Thursdays for the last four weeks, operating from 11 a.m. to about 3:30 p.m. The number of vendors is down from what has been normal the last few years, which Purton attributes to COVID-19 concerns. “We polled vendors,” to determine interest in restarting the market, and now eight-to-10 are coming out, he said. The market is now housed in a mall store location, rather than the hallway, which relates to ensuring social distancing is maintained, said Purton. “We talked to the mall to see how we could come back and this was their solution to keep everybody six-feet apart,” he said. As it stands a maximum of 15 people

Everybody is just doing the best they can right now. — Brendon Purton are allowed in the ‘store’ location, including vendor staff, and only one customer can be at any one table, noted Purton. The result this Thursday morning was a substantial line-up in the mall hallway waiting to enter the market. “People are still coming out, which we’re very happy about,” said Purton, although he added overall traffic and sales are lower than normal. “Everybody is just doing the best they can right now,” he concluded.

Drainage demonstration projects announced Brian Zinchuk, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (Estevan Mercury) Regina– In keeping with its recent water theme, the Government of Saskatchewan on July 20 announced a number of agricultural water management demonstrations across the province. Some of this work is meant to drain potholes and allow that land to become usable acreage for farming. This announcement comes a few weeks after $4 billion of irrigation development projects for central Saskatchewan centering on Lake Diefenbaker. These demonstration projects are much smaller in scope, however, as just $1 million in funding was announced on July 20 by Minister Responsible for Water Security Agency Greg Ottenbreit. The announcement was made in conjunction with Glacier FarmMedia

Discovery Farm at Langham, which is typically host of a major summer event call Ag In Motion. However, due to the restrictions from the COVID-19 crisis, that event is not taking place this year. (Glacier Media is the parent company of this publication as well as Glacier FarmMedia.) One of the 11 agricultural water management demonstration projects will take place at the Discovery Farm, involving 40 acres of the 640 acre facility. Blake Weiseth spoke on behalf of the Glacier FarmMedia Discovery Farm, located at Langham. It will be the site of a multi-year study that will involve design, regulatory approval, and construction of a drainage system on approximately 40 acres of land. After construction, a field study will evaluate several management practices meant to reduce nutrient runoff. Some of the demon-

stration projects will test how farmers and ranchers can irrigate with water drained from agricultural fields. Other projects will strategically retain wetlands to reduce the downstream impacts of flooding on infrastructure, water quality and habitat. Others will look at applying fertilizer in different ways in order to minimize nutrient runoff, the release said. “The goal is to design a drainage plan that meets regulatory requirements and optimizes land productivity while preserving the environment,” Applied Research Lead at Discovery Farm Blake Weiseth said. “This demonstration will help producers reclaim marginally productive low-lying areas while incorporating key nutrient management features associated with wetlands.” “Marginally productive low-lying areas” are in essence what is commonly referred to as “potholes.” Weiseth referred

to them as “temporary ephemeral wetlands.” He said, “These are areas that are prone to periodic flooding throughout the growing season, depending on the amount of rainfall, of course, they might be filled with some water in the spring, or you might be able to farm through them at the beginning of the season.” That “periodic flooding” may have a negative impact on the crop growth, Weiseth explained. “If we apply a drainage plan to that area to try to reclaim them, perhaps we can get some better productivity over these lands, as well as overlaying that with a case management strategy to deal with those areas. So that might include looking at variable rate fertilizer application, as an example, has on managing those areas specifically,” he said. Recent advances in aerial drone technology have made 3-D model-

ling of terrain much simpler. Weiseth said they are using drone-mounted LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) “to get very high resolution elevation data on the site, and that’s a very important piece that goes into the final design of the drainage plan.” These demonstration projects are part of a broader irrigation strategy for the province, according to Ottenbreit. Organizations taking part in these demonstrations include: · Saskatchewan Conservation and D e v e l o p m e n t Association; · Glacier FarmMedia Discovery Farm (Langham); · Saskatchewan Association of Watersheds; · Saskatchewan Irrigation Projects Association; · Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation; · Saskatchewan Soil Conservation Association;

· Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association; · Saskatchewan Research Council; · Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute. NDP Water Security Agancy critic MLA Cathy Sproule said, “Water is an important environmental resource, and can be impacted by large scale projects. For example, unauthorized drainage issues has been rampant in Saskatchewan for many years with severe impacts on the downstream land owners. Now that the WSA is no longer under the purview of the Minister of the Environment, how will the environmental impacts of these grants be assessed? In addition, we have questions around oversight with these projects – how will the spending be accounted for, what are the metrics for success, and how will the government ensure the people of the province receive full benefit for the investment?”

700 drivers reminded that distracted driving is still against the law We get it. The past few months have been… eventful. We’ve all had a lot on our minds. Still, that’s no excuse to drive distracted (or drive

impaired, or not wear a seatbelt, or break speed limits). Distracted driving was the focus of the June Traffic Safety Spotlight,

and police across Saskatchewan issued tickets to 700 distracted drivers. That includes 605 drivers cited for using a cellphone while driving, 20074DE0

and another 95 issued tickets for driving without due care and attention. Distracted driving is a leading contributor to collisions and people getting hurt and killed on Saskatchewan roads. There are many potential distractions for drivers but since most distracted driving tickets result from cellphone use, leaving your phone alone greatly increases your chances of not getting a ticket and will make you a much safer driver. Tickets for distracted driving are no joke. They start at $580 for a first offence and increase to $1,400 and $2,100 for each subsequent ticket within a year. Every ticket will earn the driver four demerit points and repeat

offences also result in the driver’s vehicle being impounded for seven days. (Registered owners pay for towing and impound costs.)

Big numbers for the rest of the “Big Four” Other unsafe driving practices also kept police busy last month, but should also serve as a reminder that traffic safety enforcement is as strong as it has ever been in Saskatchewan. For the month of June, police reported these big numbers for the rest of the “Big Four”: 395 impaired driving offenses, including 339 Criminal Code violations, 7,803 tickets for aggressive driving and speeding and, 533 tickets for seat-

belts and child restraint being used incorrectly or not at all. (We’re not going to lie; it’s hard to believe police caught this many people in one month in the year 2020 who didn’t bother to buckle up.) The July Traffic Safety Spotlight is on construction zones. SGI joins law enforcement in reminding drivers to #SlowDown and keep workers safe this construction season. Avoid distractions and be mindful of workers while you’re driving through construction zones this summer. Obey all signs and directions from any flag person you see. And when two lanes become one in a construction zone, #EmbraceTheZipperMerge.

Summer Fun in Yorkton Summer Fun in Yorkton is back for another exciting season thanks to SaskAbilities, who are once again providing programming to children and youth experiencing disability including learning disabilities, mental health and neurological disabilities, and other barriers. “The Covid-19 Pandemic has impacted countless individuals and programs,” said Aleks Hoeber Program Manager, Yorkton Heritage Heights Lodge Homey and Affordable

Senior Housing 82 Russell Drive Yorkton, Saskatchewan Located 2 blocks north of mall Bernie Warkentin 306-594-7761

Branch. “As a result, we made changes to Summer Fun to ensure staff and participants stay safe and healthy.” Hoeber noted, “Summer Fun is all about building friendships, trying new actives, and developing new skills! Although we won’t be able to meet in person, we are excited to offer skill building and activities that will be helpful in making a smooth transition back to school,” adding, “technology has been so beneficial during these unprecedented times.” As a result small group virtual programming and one-on-one activities will take place throughout July and August. For more information please contact ogordon@

saskabilities.ca or message the SaskAbilitiesYorkton Region Facebook page. A sampling of the fun and beneficial activities Summer Fun registrants will enjoy this summer include; • science experiments • crafts • self-regulation strategies • virtual small group academic tutoring (reading and math) • social skill building, If you know any children and youth that would benefit from increasing their skills through fun activities to help them transition back to school in the fall, let them and their family know about this year’s Summer Fun. — Submitted

The Parkland Valley Sport, Culture and Recreation District has been going across the region helping kids get active. They are next in Yorkton Aug. 14.

Summer tour aims to get people active By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Just because there’s a pandemic going on doesn’t mean we can stop getting out and getting active, we just have to take a different approach. The Parkland Valley Sport, Culture and Recreation District is hosting their annual Summer Tour again this year, reaching towns and beaches across the region to encourage being active and teach new games and activities. Kendall Schneider with Parkland Valley said that the goal is always to promote physical activity, with a

two-hour program that ends with a craft. Each day has different themes - in Yorkton, that meant Disney, with activities themed around Disney movies, and Disney music being featured throughout. COVID-19 has naturally caused changes to the program, especially as it is about play. Schneider said that they take the pandemic into account when designing the activities. All of the equipment is sanitized regularly, and the activities themselves are designed so that all of the participants can take part while maintaining distance. “We are having fun and making do with what we

can, it’s nice to be outside and getting together.” Schneider said that it’s still important to get out and stay active, even though things are different this year. The program travels throughout the region, and next week will be at Leslie Beach, Invermay and Ituna. To keep track of where the Summer Tour is headed next visit the Parkland Valley Sport, Culture and Recreation District Facebook Page. Their next visit to Yorkton will be Aug.14 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Truck pulls long a Grandstand staple The truck and tractor pulls have long been a staple at the Grandstand, going in and out of style over the years. In 1982, after tractor pulls had become a staple at the Saskatchewan Stampede and Exhibition, it was time for trucks to take part in the event for the first time. Reprinted below, Eric Larson talked to a crowd favorite, Ol’ Oscar, from the July 14, 1982 edition of Yorkton This Week. Hundreds of horsepower, thousands of dollars, and tens of thousands of pounds treated spectators at this year’s Saskatchewan Stampede and Exhibition. Four-wheel drive trucks, both stock and modified, were featured for the first time at this year’s tractor pull event. The sport of truck pulling is still young and undeveloped in Saskatchewan, but it’s nothing new to Raymond Williams of Big Sandy, Montana, owner-operator of this year’s crowd favorite Ol’ Oscar. Mr. Williams is a fiveyear veteran of truck pulling, and has been running Ol’ Oscar since he began. The truck makes 1,200 horsepower from a blown Chevrolet L-88 engine and, according to Mr. Williams, is capable of pulling equal weights as the super-modified tractors such as Boss Blue. Ol’ Oscar was the only super-modified truck to pull here, that is, the only truck with a blown or turbo-charged engine. “I’ve never pulled the small sled before,” he

says. “I usually pull the one used with the tractors.” This trip is Mr. William’s first this far north in Canada. “There’s not much competition here,” he says. “ But it’s coming on strong. Mr. Williams brought Ol’ Oscar here by request in hopes of stirring interest in super-modified trucks. “They get in the blood,” he says. Ol’ Oscar had no trouble pulling the weight sled all the way on the first day, but was seemingly stopped in midtrack the second day. Mr. Williams said he scared himself so badly the first time out he didn’t try too hard the second day. “There’s nowhere to

Our Grandstand A brief look at its history go,” he says referring to Yorkton’s track. “People don’t realize the dangerous aspect of the sport. I could have had the sled going 30 miles an hour and had nowhere to go at the end.” “The first day they had the grader parked at the end of the track.” There have been accidents in pulling, he says, some minor, others involving injury. “The trailer rear ended me once and

popped the front windshield out.” To accommodate the super-modified vehicles Yorkton’s track should be longer, and spectators should be kept further back, he says. “I was just playing with the sled on Thursday.” Mr. Williams is a farmer in Montana, but this year he was rained out, and is making the most of his summer by travelling with his wife and six children to various pulls

in the United States and Canada. Mr. Williams attends between eight and 12 pulls each year, but doesn’t do it for the money. In building Ol’ Oscar Mr. Williams has invested $11,000 and for his pulling efforts in Yorkton earned $550 in prize money. No one seems to be in it for the money, as most other four-wheel drive owner-operators have invested from $5,000 to $25,000 to run their trucks. Most don’t make enough to cover their transportation costs, let alone their investment. Ed Bateson and Len Seidlikoski of Queen City Four by Four of Regina know all about the cost of four-wheel drive pulling, with their

File Photo

modified truck Led is Loaded. Their entry began as King of the Hill in the Labatts Challenge in Regina. “The truck is still king of the hill,” says Mr. Seidlikoski. “But earning the title cost $1,000 in repairs to the truck and we only won $60.” “Truck pulls don’t pay... We’re in it for the fun,” says Mr. Bateson. Led is Loaded sports one of the most unique suspensions on the track, a totally custom frame which acts like a pivot to counter the front end lift experienced during a pull. Next year the two partners plan to increase the horsepower of their 396 Chevrolet engine from its current rating of 500 horsepower into the 800 horsepower range. In some cases truck operators can land a sponsor to help defer some of the cost. One such operator is Ed Wandler of Saskatoon Pick-Up and Four-Wheel Drive. His 800-horsepower Chevrolet, entitled Budweiser Bandit, features alcohol injection and one of the nicest paint schemes on the track. Despite all the effort and cost, misfortune can strike at any time. A truck valued at $25,000, the O.J. Special, dropped out of competition following its best pull of the meet, with a broken front axle, while Mr. Wandler, try as he might, couldn’; get the Budweiser Bandit started for its final pull.

Murray Mandryk is a political columnist with the Leader Post

Politics To describe rural Saskatchewan as a remote location is often meant - or at least taken - as a slight. But Chief Medical Health Officer Saqib Shahab meant the remark in a complimentary way recently, suggesting distance and isolation have been keys in this province to containing outbreaks of COVID-19. Last month’s COVID-19 outbreak at two Hutterite colonies near Maple Creek serves as a stark reminder of what Shahab, the Saskatchewan Party government and the Saskatchewan Health Authority have been saying all along: Outbreaks can and will happen anywhere at anytime. But doesn’t that mean we need better and more immediate detailed information on outbreaks when they do happen? This is one thing government should be doing a lot better four months into this pandemic. “We have seen local outbreaks that can continue to spread … if we let our guard down,” Premier Scott Moe said in a press conference last Tuesday - a day after the public learned of 54 new cases in just two days that was the largest two-day case numbers in two months. “Again, the virus can spread at any place at any time. We all have to do our part.” Shahab added that while 40 or 50 cases sounds like a large number, it’s not that surprising in a communal living setting like a Hutterite colony. However, the CMO was confident that because of contact tracing and good practices, such spreads can be contained to within specific communities. And because the communities in Saskatchewan are far party, the spread can be that much more easily confined. But if this is what Saskatchewan officials have discovered four months into this fight, it’s more than a little curious they haven’t been providing more immediate and detailed information on cases when they do occur. New cases had been reported on a broad regional basis that did not include specific rural communities until last week when the government took the unprecedented measure of mentioning specific rural municipalities with cases — Maple Creek , Auvergne, Biggar, Carmichael, Eagle Creek, Harris, Lac Pelletier, Newcombe, Perdue, Kellross and Prairiedale. There was also some additional detail we don’t normally get. Shabab said not all cases were related to communal transfer from the colonies. Health Minister Jim Reiter added health officials and the SHA were working closely with the Hutterian Safety Council. But, mostly, what the government told us was what we heard before or already know - that this is “just a reminder for everyone to just be that much more alert” and that “we all need to be aware of our own symptoms”. We need more detail - and certainly more consistent reporting of outbreaks that include specifically where they are happening. Why they are reluctant to do so specifically in rural communities is a bit puzzling. The government has had few qualms about reporting COVID-19 cases of those working in city bars or hardware stores that may have come into contact with the public. One gets why governments might not want to stigmatize small communities or inadvertently breach personal health privacy. But shouldn’t public health take priority over these other considerations? Evidently it does, because this is now what the government is doing by announcing a case in small RMs like Harris with just 193 people. We simply need more consistency, forthright and immediate disclosure of outbreaks -regardless of where they occur. Moe acknowledged last week that not immediately reporting 54 cases on the weekend “did create some concern” after being criticized for not taking three days to release the numbers by NDP leader Ryan Meili. Moe said his government would go back to seven-day a week reporting of daily case numbers. This is helpful. If outbreaks can happen anywhere, anytime, we need to immediately know where they are happening. Murray Mandryk has been covering provincial politics since 1983.

Streamline hospital designs W

hile it is not something at the forefront of most people’s minds under the sunny skies of summer, this fall Saskatchewan goes to the polls to elect the next provincial government. The choice is rather a clear cut one. Will voters determine the Saskatchewan Party is worthy of another term leading the province after holding power since 2007, or whether it is time for a change, with the only option polling significant interest being the New Democrats. Which party wins is something voters will decide at the polls. But, even in July we can determine a key issue in the election will be health care. That health care remains such a contentious area maybe is not surprising since Saskatchewan is the birthplace of the idea of universal health care and that paradigm shift in thinking did not come without much debate and protest. Today, health care remains an issue for two rather straight forward reasons; one good health care is often truly a matter of life and death, and secondly because health care eats up a huge chunk of the provincial budget. Locally, you can add the lingering need for a new regional health facility to the list of issues, which of course can be said in Estevan and Weyburn too. In Yorkton there is a level of frustration, the community having raised funds for a study leading to a plan for a new facility as requested by

the province, only to have the plan rejected basically because it was too big a vision. One can’t argue with there being a limit to the investment available for a new hospital, but then the dollar number should have been a parametre of the study before it even started. A bigger question is why studies into what a regional hospital should look like. There is a finite budget, and a core package of services mandated by the province leaving a limited range of things allowable to ‘customize’ to local needs. It would seem, as the province has moved to greater centralized control of health care, starting with a single board to oversee things, the move would be to a streamlined hospital design, adjustable for population, but otherwise cookie-cutter models of one another. A single blueprint easily passed from community-to-community to save money in design. The result would be hospitals that are essentially clones of each other. A doctor or nurse transfers and knows the lay-out ahead of time. You buy something for one, knowing ordering multiple copies to save money, will fit other facilities perfectly. If centralized control is to be truly beneficial, services must be better, and money in providing the services should at least be controlled if not reduced. A single hospital model would seem a step toward both.

First sale of season The Yorkton Gardener’s Market is back for another year. A line-up awaited the opening of the market as the group held its first event of the year Saturday July 18, at Melrose Avenue and Simpson Street, (the north parking lot of Prairie Harvest Christian Life Centre. Vendors offer a variety of items from farm eggs, jellies, baking and of course garden produce. “It’s mainly gardeners who have a surplus of produce,” noted spokesperson Glen Tymiak. The market will be every Saturday until Oct. 3, operating from 8 a.m. until noon each day. Staff Photos by Calvin Daniels

$330,000 for policing initiatives in Yorkton The Ministry of Corrections and Policing is providing $330,000 to the City of Yorkton for policing initiatives. The funding is being provided through the Municipal Police Grants program for three existing Yorkton RCMP positions in 2020-21. “Our government is proud to provide this funding to help ensure public safety in

Yorkton,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister and Yorkton MLA Greg Ottenbreit said on behalf of Corrections and Policing Minister Christine Tell. “This funding will help the RCMP respond to the needs of the community.” The Municipal Police Grants program supports enhanced community policing throughout the city and works to

ensure a safer community, which is a top priority for the Government of Saskatchewan. “The province’s ongoing funding of the Municipal Police Grant is greatly appreciated,” Yorkton Mayor Bob Maloney said. “This funding provides us with the capacity to acquire specialized skills that enhance our ability to ensure the safety of

“OUCH!” said a Construction Historian when he viewed this photo. The scene took place in 1973 when the Bank of Montreal demolished the old bank building to make way for a parking lot and the construction of a new premises — the one that stands today at #15 Broadway Street East. The building with the Doric columns, had been the site of the Bank of Commerce since 1913, then it was purchased by the Bank of Montreal in 1930. Along with the Hudson’s Bay Store next to it, and the Dunlop Block across the street, these buildings constituted

The Government of Saskatchewan has announced an additional funding increase of $350,000 to help address service gaps for the D/ deaf and Deafblind populations of Saskatchewan. This was previously committed in the 2020-21 Budget. This funding will be provided to Vision Loss Rehabilitation Canada (VLRC) and Saskatchewan Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services (SDHHS) to provide expanded services. The funding will allow VLRC to leverage their affiliate organization, Deafblind Community Services, to provide a new service in Saskatchewan, while SDHHS will be able to expand their delivery of interpreting American Sign Language (ASL) services for persons dealing with the courts, police, medical, educational and employment sectors. These supports assist people who are D/deaf or hard of hearing in accessing services to participate in their community. “It is important that we continue to look at

removing barriers in our communities so people can participate to their fullest,” Social Services Minister Paul Merriman said. “This funding increase will help people who are D/deaf and Deafblind do just that. I’m looking forward to more of this work as we start to engage with the province on accessibility legislation for Saskatchewan in the coming months.” Saskatchewan Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services provides ASL interpreting services. The additional funding will allow the organization to hire one additional ASL interpreter and two sign support professionals and enhance their 24-hour interpreter line to include access to intervener services. They will receive $253,000. “This funding represents a significant increase in accessibility in our province,” SDHHS Executive Director Nairn Gillies said. “It will go a long way to allowing deaf and hard of hearing people to participate fully.” VLRC is a provincially funded, accredited health care organization staffed by a passionate team of certified professionals. The organization provides profes-

sional, high-quality and sustainable rehabilitation to Canadians with vision loss now and into the future. The additional funding will allow the organization to establish Deafblind Community Services here in Saskatchewan, including hiring one Deafblind intervenor and providing daily one-to-one intervenor services to four people who are Deafblind. They will receive $96,500. “The lack of professional support services for people who are Deafblind in Canada is definitely a human rights concern, especially when a person needs a professional to facilitate communication at a medical or legal appointment,” Deafblind Community Services Executive Director Sherry Grabrowski said. “Some people who are Deafblind have no outside support from family or friends. That’s why our services are so important to the people we serve. This announcement sets a precedent that we hope other provinces will follow.” This funding supports the Saskatchewan Disability Strategy by expanding supports for people to participate in their communities.

Next Council Meeting Monday, August 10, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. Mayhew Avenue/Darlington Street Reconstruction Project The Mayhew Avenue/Darlington Street Reconstruction project got underway June 1, and is being done in three phases. Phase 1 is now complete (Mayhew from the south intersection with Morrison Drive to Fietz Street) and work on Phase 2 got underway July 13th. Phase 2 includes Mayhew Avenue from Fietz to Darlington, the new roundabout at the Darlington and Mayhew intersection, and west on Darlington to Franco Drive. Detours will follow Morrison from Mayhew North to McBurney, then south to Darlington, or from Darlington southwards along Franko Drive to Fietz, then east to Mayhew.

York Road Watermain Replacement Single Lane Alternating Trafﬁc The watermain under York Road between 3rd and 2nd Avenues is being replaced. The work area will extend from Betts Avenue to 4th Avenue. Water and sewer is also being installed for the new City Operations Centre across York Road between 4th Avenue and 6th Avenue. The detour has changed to one lane alternating traffic with stop lights for approximately one week while work is done on this part of the project.

The project also includes a new pathway from the roundabout at Dracup Avenue and Darlington Street to the new roundabout at Mayhew Avenue and Darlington Street. For more information and detour/site maps see Yorkton.ca/construction. You may also call the Public Works Department at 306-786-1760.

Shelwin House receives major donation Shelwin House in Yorkton has received a $5,000 donation from RBC to help it weather the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Operated by Yorkton Women In Need Inc, Shelwin House is a shelter for women and children fleeing abusive relationships. All services, including temporary housing, supportive counseling, and basic living necessities are provided free of charge. “Residents are most likely to come into the shelter not having personal protection equip-

ment with them as many times they arrive with only the clothes they are wearing,” said Susan Furber, Executive Director, Shelwin House. “Thanks to this donation we’ll now be able to provide the items needed for our staff, residents and ex-residents to protect themselves.” “We’re also going through cleaning supplies very quickly, and we want to produce some educational materials. About how to stay safe at home when home may not be safe,” added Furber. Staff at the shelter

om canoe racer Haley Daniels. Daniels is one of Canada’s top hopefuls heading into the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games.

“It was such a pleasant surprise and a boost for our staff to get Haley’s message ” said Furber. “When Haley heard about what we are going through due to the pandemic, she said she wanted to just say thanks for persevering.” After years of lobbying to have women’s slalom canoe added to the Games, Daniels, who is from Calgary, is poised to be among the first to represent Canada at an Olympic games in her sport at the upcoming games in Tokyo. “I’ve been an RBC sponsored Olympian

for over a year now, and when I hear about the work the bank does with local women’s groups I’m always excited to help,” said Daniels. “The pandemic is difficult for all of us, but especially for women and children in dangerous situations at home. The work Shelwin House is doing in Yorkton is so important.” The donation is one of six pandemic-related donations being made to similar organizations across the province, and continues a long-term commitment to women’s shelters in the region. — Submitted

Construction on new passing lanes continues on Highways 9 and 10 Construction on new passing lanes continues on Highways 9 and 10 near Yorkton. The project includes six sets of passing lanes, intersection improvements, access consolidation and 55 kilometres (km) of paving. “Our government is committed to building strong communities by investing in highways and infrastructure,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Greg Ottenbreit said. “The new passing lanes on Highways 9 and 10 will improve traffic flow and safety while helping transport our commodities from production to market.” The cost of the project is about $39.4 million, with a scheduled completion date of October

2020. It also includes upgrading approximately 4.4 km of Grain Millers Drive within the RM of Orkney, and paving on Highway 9 within the City of Yorkton under the Urban Highway Connector Program. Travellers are advised to plan ahead, expect delays, slow to 60 km/h and use caution when driving through the work zone. Passing lane projects continue around the province this year, including Highways 5, 7 and 39. Pre-construction work is also underway on 24 to 26 new sets of passing lanes as part of the government’s stimulus package. If you’re planning to travel, check the Highway Hotline at www.sas-

katchewan.ca/highwayhotline, which provides up-to-date information on construction, emergency road closures, the status of ferries, barges and other road activities. Information is also available by calling 511. A weekly highway construction update is also published on www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/ transportation/highwayconstruction-projects/ weekly-highway-construction-update to provide the travelling public with the latest details on projects underway to help plan safe and efficient travel. You can also report a highway work zone signing problem by calling 306-244-5535. The Government of Saskatchewan has invested more than

$9.8 billion in highways infrastructure since 2008, improving more than 15,800 km of

Saskatchewan highways. Another $300 million in highways stimulus funds will be invested over the

next two years to stimulate Saskatchewan’s economic recovery. — Submitted

Hold off on one polling location this year I understand the instinct to go to one polling station from three for the next municipal election. In a normal year, just having one spot does decrease confusion, and Yorkton is small enough that physical distance isn’t a massive barrier to voting. Polling locations can also sometimes feel arbitrary, such as the year I had to vote at Yorkdale School in spite of it being the furthest polling station from my house, so it’s not like this is an added inconvenience, distance wise, for the average voter. I say a normal year because we are not currently in a normal year.

And this year, if anything, there should be more polling places, not fewer. The reason is because if you’re in a pandemic, and we are and likely will be for the remainder of the year, the main goal should be to limit the amount of people gathering in a single location. Given that an election, by definition, requires many people to gather in one location, that’s going to be a risky proposition. Some might make an argument that a central location is easier to sanitize, but the problem there is that surface-toperson is not as large a risk factor as person-to-

DEVIN WILGER

Thinking I do with words... person transmission. While proper sanitation is important, all the sanitation in the world won’t do much help if you’ve got a sick person hanging out near everyone else. Breaking it down into smaller locations and more spread out is going

to be a smarter method of handling an election in 2020. One could argue that the Gallagher Centre is a large enough facility that you could easily spread everyone out, and that’s not entirely wrong. There are many rooms, many

places to go, and many paths people could be directed down to vote. However, the issue is those common points. There are not that many entries and exits, and everyone in the city - ideally, though likely not in reality - would have to go through. One sick person and suddenly Yorkton’s one of the hot spots on the daily COVID-19 map. Effectively, going to one polling place in 2020 is needlessly risky, and the goal with polling locations should be to limit crowd sizes as much as possible. Which isn’t to say the City of Yorkton isn’t doing

some good things with regard to this election specifically, the move to increase mail-in voting is a smart move, because the more mail-in ballots the fewer people have to vote in person. Since this year is one where limiting crowd size is the biggest priority, the more people who vote from home, the better. But the single polling location, this year, is a mistake. It won’t always be a mistake, in 2024 they might be able to safely move to a single polling station without putting people at risk, as hopefully we shouldn’t have to deal with this forever.

Chemical decision may impact oat supplies Most of the time when the world moves to change one thing, and its impact tends to ripple into areas that whether unexpected, or simply ignored, changes things in ways which may not be the best. It’s easy enough to think of a range of such ripple effects, for example electric cars might be good in terms of stretching the non-renewable fuel resource, but the batteries wear out and there are concerns about their disposal. In terms of farming there is growing consumer concern over the use of the herbicide glyphosate, and that means processors are starting

to pay attention. We saw a backlash to glyphosate tolerant canola in some markets, those markets restricting access of such seed. The reaction to herbicide tolerant canola in some markets squashed development of herbicide tolerant wheat varieties, and in that move farmers lost a tool to weed control. Starting next year, the two largest oat millers in Canada will only buy oats that are free of glyphosate. R i c h a r d s o n International told oat growers in June it will no longer purchase oats if they have been treated with a pre-harvest

Agriculture THIS WEEK

Calvin Daniels desiccant. Back in 2015 Grain Millers, which processes oats in Yorkton, Sask., stopped buying oats that are sprayed with glyphosate before harvest. These moves are being made to appease consumers and companies cannot be blamed for making changes to

keep customers satisfied. But a crop such as oats is very much a niche opportunity for Prairie farmers these days. Producers can grow oats, and lots of them, but the market is well-defined so that production tends to be focused on well-established demand.

But with any niche crop farmers have to see a benefit in producing those crops or the limited acres can easily turn yellow with canola, or switched to wheat. In the case of oats, if farmers lose access to a long-used, key herbicide, it could push acres out of production, and that has to be worrying for Prairie processors. How squeezing production impacts the consumer is an interesting question, with the most obvious answer prices might inch higher. In the competitive world of breakfast cereals and alternative offerings, that could be a bad thing as consumers are apt to look

to cheaper options, if oat products were to increase too much. Of course a bigger question for farmers is what happens with glyphosate use moving forward. If oat processors are moving away from grain where the product has been used, how long before other food sectors follow suit? And, if glyphosate goes by the wayside, what happens to canola, where the chemical resistance bred into many varieties was largely responsible for it becoming the major crop it is today. Calvin Daniels is Editor with Yorkton This Week.

Research farm field day going virtual COVID-19 may have forced the cancellation of this year’s Parkland College/East Central Research Foundation (ECRF) research farm field day, but a series of new videos just released to YouTube is taking the tour online. Research trials are underway this summer on land south of Yorkton provided by the City, and on plots exchanged with the Health Foundation to assist with crop rotation. “As we typically have about 100 participants at our annual farm tour, we had to cancel due to the restrictions on public gatherings,” said research coordinator Mike Hall. “To make up for this, we put together a series of videos to give people a virtual tour of

the farm.” The videos are between two minutes and six minutes in length. Research farm staff produced an introductory episode and five segments focusing on individual projects: Episode1: Input Management for Malt vs. Feed Barley Episode 2: In-season Applications of UAN vs. Dissolved Urea for Increasing Wheat Protein Episode 3: Oat Test Weight Episode 4: Effect of Nozzle Type & Boom Height on Fusarium Head Blight Suppression in Wheat Episode 5: Blackstrap Dry Beans Response to Added Nitrogen The videos can be found on the ECRF’s

YouTube channel and at www.ecrf.ca. “We are excited to showcase the great work we are doing at the research farm,” said Dr. Gwen Machnee, Parkland College’s Coordinator of Applied Research. “And we are looking forward to expanding our research horizons in the future.” Since 2013, the College and the ECRF have worked together on the research farm. Projects vary each year and are supported by numerous funding agencies, producer groups, and private industry.

Majority of area crops in fair to good condition Warm weather and rainfall this week continued to support crop development. Currently, 86 per cent of the fall cereals, 75 per cent of the spring cereals, 70 per cent of the oilseed crops and 82 per cent of the pulse crops are at a normal stage of development for this time of year. The majority of crops this week are in fair to excellent condition. Rainfall was received throughout the province this week. Areas near Neilburg received the highest amount of rainfall in the province with 116 mm. The St. Walburg

area received the most rainfall in the province since April 1 with 376 mm. The moisture was welcome in many areas, but high amounts of rain in certain parts of the west-central and northern regions resulted in localized flooding and standing water. This prevented producers from entering fields for spraying and haying. Crop District 5 – Melville, Yorkton, Cupar, Kamsack, Foam Lake, Preeceville and Kelvington areas; for the period July 7 to 13 The majority of the crops in the east-central region are in fair to good

condition. Seventy-seven per cent of the fall cereals, 69 per cent of the spring cereals, 64 per cent of the oilseeds and 85 per cent of the pulse crops are at a normal stage of development for this time of year. While some areas have delayed development due to cool conditions, most of the crops in the region look good. Rainfall in the eastcentral region ranged from zero to 41 mm in the Kenaston area. The Allan area received eight mm, the Lipton area 22 mm, the Rama area 26 mm, the Kuroki area 27 mm, the Esterhazy area

29 mm and the Bulyea area 34 mm. Recent rains have improved moisture conditions in the region. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as two per cent surplus, 86 per cent adequate, 11 per cent short and one per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as 73 per cent adequate and 27 per cent short. Livestock producers have cut 13 per cent of the hay crop and two per cent is baled or put into silage. Hay quality is rated as five per cent excellent, 68 per cent good, 18 per cent fair and

nine per cent poor. The majority of crop damage this week was due to localized flooding and hail, as well as wind and dry conditions. Farmers are busy haying, hauling grain, scouting for insects and disease and applying fungicides as necessary. Overall in the province, cropland topsoil moisture is rated as six per cent surplus, 85 per cent adequate, six per cent short and three per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as four per cent surplus, 75 per cent adequate, 16 per cent short and five per

cent very short. Rainfall this week delayed some farmers from haying, but hay is being cut and baled as conditions allow. Livestock producers now have 13 per cent of the hay crop cut and 11 per cent baled or put into silage. Hay quality is rated as five per cent excellent, 65 per cent good, 25 per cent fair and five per cent poor.

Shishkin offers up latest novel By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Prolific local author Damian Shishkin has a new book on the shelf: Revelations 2520: The Broken and the Damned. “This is a new series of books, under the series name of ‘Revelations 2520’ which is separate from my original fivepart series that I am working on ending later this year,” explained the author, adding, “apart from those, there is the one off venture into the world of Fantasy of my werewolf creation In Human Clothing which garnered a lot of attention worldwide and even earned me a finalist spot in the Caffeinated Fantasy Awards.” So where did the idea for the latest book come from for Shishkin who was born and raised in Yorkton, spent a few years in Saskatoon, then found his way back home and has made a good life for he and his family here? “The inspiration for this book came from so many conversations with friends of mine who were in the military and the way they felt abandoned by the government that deployed them upon their return,” he told Yorkton This Week. “Looking into that deeper, and coupled with the current climate of science denial, I created characters that took that feeling of rejection to new heights in a world that is the exact opposite of what we have now. One man’s utopia is another’s hell, and sometimes the soldiers that fight for that utopia have no place in it once achieved.” So what was the writing process like for Shishkin who by day is a licensed Mutual Fund advisor and loans officer (commonly called a Banking Advisor) at the RBC branch in Yorkton? “This one took about a year to write, as it was a whole new world creation which took a bit longer than I would have liked,” he admitted. “The flow was pretty off and

on for this book, as there were many stressful days at work that drained me of the will to do any writing of any kind. “After a few major rewrites, I was able to push forward on it during the first few months of the shutdown. But the rewrites honestly continued through the copy edit phase and right up to the publication date as I strived to create the perfect mood for the setting and the main characters.” And of course there was research along the way too for Shishkin who notes, “Like many of my peers, I don’t have any formal Damian Shishkin training as a writer. “With my previous “I was published in series, once the world, a scholastic magazine or universe, building is back in Grade 9 for a creative writing assignment, established, you are able but of course that type to dive right into the story of learning ends around without a great deal of that grade. I moved for- character or location ward into art for the dur- description,” he said. “It ation of my high school enables you to rely on the years and beyond only to previous foundations of re-find my writing voice work while creating new in 2010 with the begin- places and characters to nings of what would be drive the story further. “The continuity end my first published novel ‘Rise of Aen’.” As for the latest book, he said, “I did research on basic ground assault tactics, as well as modern battlefield strategies for this book as it is more military based than any of my other works. “I even learned a bit of Latin as there was a phrase in the book I wanted which took about a full evening to translate properly. “Other than that, while I write my phone is right beside me as my research tool as I go.” While The Broken and the Damned might be Shishkin’s sixth book, that does not mean writing has necessarily gotten easier.

Angus Vincent hits the sidewalk The Yorkton Arts Council’s Sidewalk Concert Series continued with Yorkton’s own Angus Vincent, who took to the streets at two locations on July 16 to entertain with a mix of covers and originals.

Beyond the sidewalk concerts, he has taken to Facebook Live to keep performing through the COVID-19 pandemic, and was also part of the

is more difficult, just because I love casting out webs of small plot lines throughout the series that don’t seem like anything at the time but end up being major plot drivers later. “I am constantly going back to the previous books to make sure I keep it straight. “This will be the same for this new series as this

book established the new and crazy environment far from Earth, but will constantly be reaching back to our home planet. “Political and economic ties reach all the way out to the new frontier, and have a great deal of pull in this story. “Even in an established utopia, there is always an underlying political unrest. It isn’t detailed highly in the novel, but it is felt in the background the whole time and will grow as the series progresses.” Interestingly Shishkin cited something you might think would be easy to create as the most challenging aspect of the project. “Finding a suitable alien world to use as the major location of the story,” he said. “I finally found my inspiration by the newly discovered twin planets in the Teegarden’s Star system which I used to full effect with creative licensing of course. “Once the location was set, I simply inserted the four main characters I had created a few years back into it and away I went.” While the book takes place among the stars, Shishkin said it still comes down to characters making the story a good one. “The best aspect is the relationship of the four main characters,” he said. “They are cybernetically and genetically enhanced soldiers that were used, for the better part, to usher in a United Earth government but then put into cryo-storage when it was all over. “Four hundred years later, they are bought and reawakened to complete an impossible mis-

sion. “This story shows the struggle to not only comprehend how much has changed over the time of their sleep, but how they grow together as a makeshift family as everything else seems to be against them. “In the end, a soldier’s bond with his/ her unit is tighter than family and I wanted to put that on full display.” And, the author is all smiles about his latest creation. “I love this book, especially the characters in it,” said Shishkin. “I managed to create a diverse group of soldiers with different backgrounds, quirks, and faults that fit their roles perfectly. “Making them hated outcasts in their new future opened so many doors that typical protagonists don’t have available, and I think made them easier to identify with. “Living with the moniker of the ‘Four Horsemen of the Republic’ paints a target on them, thus keeping these characters from ever truly belonging to the new culture around them. “They are relics of a past which no one wants to remember, but a much desired asset in the future that hates them. This creates such a wonderful dynamic for them to grow within themselves as the series progresses.” And there is more to come from Shishkin. “For now, the last book in my previous series (book five of the Aen Saga ) is hopefully going to be completed by the end of the summer and released late fall,” he said. “After that, I have a collection of short stories I want to put together before starting out on the next chapter of this series. If all goes well, which it rarely does, I hope to have the second book of this series out late next year.” For more information check out www.damianshishkin.com

No social distancing required in the most important relationship of all Wednesday, July 22, 2020 | www.YorktonThisWeek.com | Yorkton This Week

COVID-19, with all its adjustments, terrors and sorrows will pass in time. Remember how difficult things were at the start of the pandemic panic, when everyone learned we must keep our distance from anyone not in our own household? Early in 2020, after the Preacher and I moved nearby them, excited to be living close again, the two youngest grandchildren had one sleepover at Nana and Gampaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Little Lois and I baked chocolate chip cookies, oblivious that the monster virus stalking the world would, in less than a week, dramatically alter how even loving families could relate to each other. When social distancing guidelines took over, we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enter othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; houses. The grandbeans and I took properly distanced walks on country roads near their home. Windy March marches, actually. Winter still bit hard, and closeness felt infinitely more desirable than distance. As I arrived at their place for the first time and exited my car, my cookie making helper (who hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen me for a whole entire week, at least) burst from the back door, her arms wide open to greet me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lois!â&#x20AC;? one of her sisters called sharply, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hug Nana! You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hug Nana! Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vulnerable!â&#x20AC;? The child burst into tears. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t far behind. On one of those walks,

four year old Ezra grew weary and cold (mostly cold). He climbed into the wagon weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d brought just in case. As his older sibling towed him, the tyke sat rigid in place, his lips getting paler and bluer by the moment. A grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warm embrace could have helped, but warm embraces werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t advised then, and none of us considered flouting the medical sages. I hate that memory and the echo of his wails ringing in my heart. When the health advisors trotted out the

down the pandemic path, hugs happen each time we meet. The grandbeans understand the seriousness of COVID-19, however. Sherah approached

her mother the other day holding an eight foot two by four sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d found while working with her dad. Her gloved hands grasping its centre, she grinned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is my new social distancing board, Mama,â&#x20AC;? she said. She gets it, enough to make a joke. That makes me both sad and glad. A relationship with God doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t requireâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and never will requireâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; social distancing. At our invitation, He inserts the Spirit of Jesus Christ into our hearts, making us his beloved child.

As near as our breath, he walks and talks with us. He joins us around our tables, at our workplaces, in our kitchens and living rooms. As we sleep, he remains watchful. When life chills us to the bone and uncertainty threatens our emotional well-being, he embraces us tenderly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;God is watching us from a distance,â&#x20AC;? proclaim the lyrics of a popular song. Not true. God is closer than your very breath. Never forget it.

Digging spuds A warm Saturday afternoon is ideal for some work in the vegetable garden. Work is typically keeping the weeds at bay, but not always. Bernie Laevens and Marion Matechuk were actually digging a few early season potatoes which of course are a mealtime favourite at this time of year. Staff Photo by Calvin Daniels

U15 Expos win pair in doubleheader By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer It was a good day on the diamond for the Parkland U15 Expos, although early in it didn’t look good for the local team. The Expos hosted the

Regina Athletics in a doubleheader, with the visitors holding a big 9-4 lead going into the final at-bat for the locals at Jubilee Park in the city, in spite of a home run by Expo Xage Miraflor from Sturgis, his second in as many weekends.

But in the home half of the final inning the proverbial worm turned in favour of the Expos. A few walks, a couple of timely hits and Yorkton crawled back to win 10-9. “The guys showed more patience than any-

The runs were tough to find for the home side Expos Saturday.

who earned the win. In the second half of the doubleheader there was no need for a big comeback as the Expos rolled to a 15-5 win. Parker Lowenberg went three innings as the

starter, with Chaez Jaeb finishing off the game on the mound for the Expos. The Expos are now three-and-one on the summer, after back-toback home stand doubleheaders.

Terry Peppler pitches to grandson Callhan Smalley.

Terry Peppler hits a double in action versus Balcarres Sunday.

Peppler keeps chucking for Rockets By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer When it comes to senior fastball in the area Terry Peppler might just be the poster boy. While most men his age have opted for the bleacher seats to feed their passion for the game, Peppler who turns 59 in August, remains active as a member of the Rhein Rockets. Peppler today likes to refer to himself as team coach, or maybe manager, but in doubleheader action on the Rocket’s home field Sunday he was in the designated hitter spot in the line-up. And, make no mistake he’s still a dangerous hitter, doubling in the bottom of the seventh inning of game one against the Balcarres Broncs, and scoring on a game-tieing home run by Evan Neibrandt, leaving the contest a 4-4 draw. Then in the second

game against the Rosebud Junior Royals (Wadena) Peppler went deep himself as the Rockets won 16-5. For the record in between the Rocket games the Broncs defeated the Rosebuds14-4 in a game in Rhein. But, back to the seemingly ageless Peppler, while he was relegated to DH duty Sunday, he admitted to Yorkton This Week he still toes the rubber on occasion to pitch – three times todate this summer in the Richardson’s Pioneer Men’s Fastball League. For Peppler it’s sort of old hat to windmill a softball across a home plate. “I’d say I started when I was 15,” he said, doing the math and coming up with 44-years as a pitcher. So why, when most would have retired from what is still a competitive level of fastball? “It’s not just my own

Terry Peppler and grandsons Callhan Smalley, 4, and Kashton Smalley, 1. interest, it’s keeping things going in the community,” he said, adding he plays when the Rockets need him having said at age 40 that was the

way it would be. “I’ll only play when needed.” Of course being able to throw a riser with consistency helps, noted Peppler.

“It’s hard to groom new pitchers,” he said, so he keeps throwing which he hopes has a ripple effect of “keeping things in the community going.” But, lining a field with chalk, or offering a young player some sage advice, pitching is another. How does Peppler do it? “Some days you have it, and some days you don’t, its game-to-game,” he admitted, adding again “I just come out to coach and sometimes I do throw a little.” Either way, for Peppler fastball is less about the score, and more about other aspects of sport. “We’re here for fun. It’s always been about the social part of the game,” he said. It helps too son Brett Peppler is a Rocket, and not surprisingly he pitches when called upon. On the sidelines while the Rockets field Peppler leaves the dug-

out and plays pitch and catch with future Rocket, lobbing soft tosses to four-year-old grandson Callhan Smalley, his year-old brother Kashton watching nearby. “The next generation of Rockets,” said Peppler as he inviting the press over for a photo. But, when it came to a career highlight winning topped the list without Peppler having to think about it too long. Four times he has been on a provincial championship team with Rhein, a fifth time winning with Warman. Whether another title will come though doesn’t matter, Peppler said he just wants to contribute to the Rockets. “Eventually there will be a time,” he admitted when asked how long he intends to play, but its likely Peppler will wear a Rocket uniform as long as the team heads to the diamond “as a coach.”

The Rhein Rockets earned a win and a tie in action Sunday on their home field. Above catcher Dave Renkas readies to catch a pitch watched closely by a Balcarres batter. Renkas would hit a home run in the game. The Rockets threw pitcher Justice Keshane in the game.

Canoe & Kayak Club back on the water By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Canoe Kayak Club has been cautiously active since May 25, and has seen a surge in interest as one of the few youth sports that has been happening. “Basically we’ve been running since May 26,” said club head coach Jessica Riley. However, the sport’s national body had banned paddling in March and April in the face of COVID-19, the focus early on was on getting those involved well versed in procedures such as making sure equipment was cleaned properly, and how to ensure proper social distancing, she said. “We took that time

to put procedures in place,” said Riley. By mid-June provincial regulations relaxed and the club began getting back to allowing the public to paddling. Riley said it helps that those involved are naturally social distanced once out on the water. “But, we kept it kind of quiet, that way we weren’t getting swamped,” said Riley, adding it was important to make sure protocols worked and that proper safety for participants was assured. Now, things are more into the full swing of club activities with youth summer camps under way. To-date four camps are already booked to capacity, but a few spots remain for the weeks of

When on the water kayakers are naturally social distanced. Aug. 4-7 and 10-13, said Riley, adding if interest is shown a third week in August could be offered. For those not sure if their kids are fully interested in paddling, Riley said people are invited to try things out Mondayto-Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. “You don’t require a membership so you can just drop in and try it,” said Riley, adding that in addition to kayaking, this

year they are offering paddle boarding thanks to a Sask Lotteries grant to buy equipment. Sundays, from 2-4, for a ‘toonie’ families can head to York Lake where the club is headquartered, to try it out as well. Riley did add that people are encouraged to pre-book if they are heading out via a ‘booknow’ link on the club’s

Facebook page. “That way we can control the flow of traffic a little bit,” she said, adding they have been rather busy since paddling is one of the few activities that have been going on; with bookings “we are able to sanitize the boats and be ready if we know when people are coming.” As for the increased interest, Riley noted,

“people are looking to get kids active.” That interest has also seen more youth coming out for the club’s competitive contingent, even though there are no competitions scheduled for the summer. “It’s just a training year,” said Riley, adding the focus is on techniques to be ready for 2021. “... They’re honestly out there for the love of the sport.” The competitive crew currently numbers 18, the most in the 13 years Riley has been involved, which is great to see for club. “Some years we’ve only had four,” she noted.

New league focusing on 3-on-3 hockey

For hockey fans threeon-three overtime is an element of today’s game loved by some, despised by others. A new hockey league set to hit the ice in 2021 is betting more fans fall into the ‘loving it’ category since it will be 3-on3 hockey from puck drop to final buzzer. E.J. Johnston, President and CEO of 3ICE said the idea is one that fits for today’s world and sports fan, and they may be right as the world seems to want everything in a condensed package. “We like to say it’s snackable,” said Johnston, explaining games in 3ICE will be played in two eightminute halves, of straight time, meaning the game will be quick. Johnston said they look at the new league as offering the best element of hockey, the excitement

of overtime, and the back and forth action that it is known for. “It’s a great showcase of skill,” he said. Asked if COVID-19 has hurt in terms of league development Johnston said it has not been an issue. “We’ve been working on this for about three years now,” he said. “We stuck our flag in the ground about 18-months ago to start in 2021.” So 3ICE is readying for action in less than 12 months. That means creating eight teams in year one, albeit pared down teams each only six skaters and a goaltender. Johnston said the player they are looking for will often be those who have had at least a taste of National Hockey League action. “Our guys are the exNHLer, the third and fourth line guys ... who

CALVIN DANIELS

Sports played 10-11-12-minutes a game, but were the first guys over the boards in 3-on-3,” he said, adding Pittsburgh Penguin Connor Sheary springs to mind as the type of player 3ICE will search out “... the water bug” who excels with more open ice. Unlike more traditional leagues where teams are city-based 3ICE will follow rugby 7s, BIG3 basketball, Premier Lacrosse League and similar efforts where teams go on the road and play in a different locale

each week, but not representing any particular city. Johnston said they believe the “touring model will add some excitement to it,” as each stop becomes an event for fans in that city. Year-one the model will see 3ICE visit eight cities through its regular season, and culminate with a championship weekend in a ninth locale. The first games are set for June 19, 2021. One thing the new league looks to be is

quick. There will be no faceoffs. After a goal the goaltender fishes the puck out of the net, gives it to a teammate and off they go - ditto after an offside or icing. Players will not sit in the sin bin either. Instead, calls will be automatic penalty shots. The idea is to keep games flowing, said Johnston. The format also focuses on success first and foremost. All eight teams play each Saturday. Win and you play again. Lose the team is done for the week. Sixteen minutes of action and off to watch from the stands. Keep winning you play three games and win the day. Johnston said so far the world looks ready for 3ICE. TSN and RDS in Canada will carry the action, CBS Sports state-

side. “They got it right away ... They bought it in the room,” he said, adding while details of course had to be negotiated, there was interest in summer hockey for broadcast. It helps too that the league earned some early creditability by bringing Hockey Hall of Famer Craig Patrick on as league Commissioner, and fellow Hall of Famers such as Grant Fuhr and Bryan Trottier on as head coaches. Johnston said such people help attract fan and media interest now, and will help in recruiting players too. “Players will want to play for this kind of guy,” he said. And, down the road Johnston said growth potential exists, whether with added teams, added dates, or 3ICE Europe and 3ICE women’s.

In action in Yorkton Saturday the U18 Expos took a pair from Regina, including a comeback in game one of a doubleheader.

U18 Expos blitzed by visiting Athletics By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Parkland AAA 18U Expos found it tough going at Jubilee Park in Yorkton Saturday, dropping both ends of a doubleheader to the visiting Regina Athletics. In game one, in spite of out-hitting Regina 10-to-six the game slipped away with Regina winning 13-2. The Athletics struck early scoring a run the first inning on a stolen base. Regina salted the win away with five runs in the seventh inning. Regina’s offense in the inning was led by Taylor Douglas, Ethan Merk, Anthony Meyer, and

Dylan Fiske, all driving in runs in the frame. Gavin Wuschke had the start for Regina. He went 5.1 innings, allowing zero runs on six hits, striking out eight and walking none. Carter Phythian was on the mound for Expos. He allowed two hits and five runs over three innings, striking out two. Kaedyn Koroluk and Mathew Datema entered the game from the bullpen, each throwing two innings. Koroluk and Owen Cook each managed multiple hits for the home side. Koroluk led the Expos with three hits in three at-bats. Game two was all too similar to the first, which was bad news to the Expos.

The home team again fell behind early and couldn’t come back in a 13-3 loss, although the Expos again out hit the visitors 10-7. Regina pulled away with five runs in the second inning. Evan McCubbing toed the rubber for the Expos. He surrendered five runs on three hits over two innings, striking out three. Ryan Rathgeber and Owen Cook entered the game as relief, throwing three and a third innings and one and two-thirds innings respectively. Rathgeber, Cook, and Ryland Maier all managed multiple hits for the Expos. Rathgeber went 3-for-4 at the plate to lead the side.

BEZBOROTKO - Elmer Bezborotko and his twin sister Rose were born on July 16, 1942 on the family farm in the Parkerview district. Elmer being the strongest of the two survived, while Rose passed away. Rose was laid to rest at Saint John Suchava Ukrainian Orthodox Cemetery. Elmer was the youngest of four children born to Nick and Dora (Marianchuk) Bezborotko. He attended Okno and Warren schools in the district with his older siblings Allen and Elsie. Elmer worked for neighboring farmers using horses to clear the brush cut logs for rails and cordwood. His love of horses was evident in the stories he would tell. As farming became modernized he drove steel wheel tractors, used binders, hay rakes and plows. He worked for Highway transport, delivering groceries with his brother in law, William Gorelitza, for one summer. Elmer drove semis on the open highway, however he felt that living out of a truck was not a life he wanted. He purchased a quarter of land, bought cattle and continued farming with his parents and brother. Not all was hard work, there were ukrainian celebrations with family and friends, country dances, draft horse competitions, hockey games on the slough, and at the Yorkton Arena. Elmer was one to help those in need, one time offering 40 acres of land to his uncle John Bezborotko, to help with his new start in Saskatchewan after relocating from Ontario. Elmer began delivering farm eggs and produce to Insinger. In doing this, he met a mother raising four girls Beverley, Donna, Shirley and Frances, single handedly, as she had no means to return home to her family in British Columbia. Elmer helped her as much as he could, even offering to cover her bus fare as a means to help her. This is how he met Rae, their life long story together beginning after she decided to stay with him in Saskatchewan and not return home to British Columbia. Elmer’s most cherished memory was of Rae wearing a yellow sundress, picking prairie flowers the day she arrived at the farm. Three years later, on July 6, 1974, at the Theodore United church they were happily married. From that day forward, the two were inseparable, as they celebrated 43 years of love and devotion together. Elmer became a husband to Rae, and father to her four girls, loving each and every one of them unconditionally as his own. Elmer and Rae raised cattle, chickens, horses and rabbits on their grain farm, instilling the values of hard work and appreciation for nature into their children as well as their grandchildren. His love and respect for nature was evident in his decision to donate 10 acres of his own land to become a wildlife preserve in Saskatchewan. After the girls had graduated and moved away from home, change was on the horizon. The farms was sold and Elmer, Rae, Allan and their father Nick moved to the small community of Theodore, SK. Elmer had made was promise to his mother before she passed, that he would take care of family. His door was always open to visitors, especially his sister Elsie, her husband Mike and their children, as well as many Bezborotko, Hubelit, Hluchman and Marianchuk relatives. Elmer and Rae took care of Elmer’s father Nick after he had suffered a massive stroke, doing their best to care for him until he passed away. While living in Theodore, Elmer and Allan would work together, side by side, doing yard maintenance, mowing lawns, trimming trees, and shoveling snow. Not only in the town of Theodore, but surrounding cemeteries as well. Elmer always loved to joke and tease family and friends, often stringing you along in conversation, only to pull your leg with the punchline at the end. Theodore coffee row was usually a twice a day, daily constitution and conversation. He always attended community events, such as hockey games, spring teas, fall suppers, auction sales, mudbog days and any good time to be had in the area. Elmer’s love of nature was evident as blue jay’s and foxes would frequently stop by his home to say hello. He took great pride in his bountiful garden, always flourishing with fresh vegetables and vibrant flowers, exchanging vegetable seeds and sharing the bountiful harvest for the year with family and friends. On April 11, 2017, Rae unexpectedly passed away during the night, Elmer cradling Rae in his arms as she passed while waiting for help to arrive. Although this scenario is highly romanticized, Elmer later said that this was the hardest thing to bear. In May of 2020, Elmer was diagnosed with terminal kidney cancer, for six weeks he maintained his independence and remained in his own home. He often stated “If I need help, I’ll ask.” In many daily phone conversations he would state he was “as good as can be expected” when asked how he was feeling. Now we must carry on as good as can be expected; this was Elmer’s last life lesson for his girls. Now we lay Elmer to rest, still so much to be said, so much more left unsaid. Elmer passed away peacefully on July 17, 2020 at the Theodore Health Center, he was 78 years of age. Elmer was predeceased by his wife of 43 years Rae, his parents Nick and Dora Bezborotko, his siblings Elsie(Mike) Byski, Alan Bezborotko, Rose Bezborotko; Rae’s parents Emil and Viola Olson; her siblings Leigh Olson, Carol Vieau, Donna Olson, brother in law Ed Magson, son in-law George James, great grandsons Jared Bellegarde and Rowan Bellegarde. Elmer leaves to mourn his passing and cherish his memories his four daughters, Beverley (Leo) Hubelit, Donna (Alvin) Allary, Shirley James, and Frances (Robert) Bernhardt. He will be missed by his grandchildren Bruce (Paula) Hamilton, Kelly Hamilton, Laura (Bobby Pollon) Hamilton, Raechelle (Francis Bellegarde) Allary, Tleesha (Devin Shick) Allary, Thomas James, Jeremy (Angie Goulet) Bernhardt, Zarysa Bernhardt, and his great grandchildren Skyla Cary & Kyra Hack, Simon Hamilton-Pollon, Francis & Paisley Bellegarde, Adriana & Dawson James. Elmer is survived by his sister in laws Joyce Magson, Shiela Olson, son in law Richard Hamilton as well as his nieces Grace Gorelitza, Adeline Gorelitza, Valerie (Don) Nerbas and nephews Eric Gorelitza, and Rick (Bonnie) Gorelitza, great grand nieces and as well as many other cousins, family and friends.

PURITCH - It is with sad and heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather, David Puritch on Friday, July 10, 2020 at the Regina General Hospital. He was 71 years of age. David Alexander Puritch was born on March 6, 1949 in Yorkton. He was the youngest son of John and Katie (nee Elaschuk) Puritch. David attended Chaucer and Loyal, one-room, country schools. Early in his teens, he began helping his father with the farm work. Dave had a keen interest in tractors, machines and especially in the brand-new 1/2 ton truck that his dad had recently purchased. He became a proficient welder-a skill that he later shared with his sons. He owned and operated heavy equipment for quite a few years. Dave married Susan Holowka on November 28, 1981. They made their home in Yorkton and Dave continued to farm and operate heavy equipment while Susan worked as a nurse. They were blessed with 3 children: Jeffrey, Jami, and Ryan. The absolute highlight of his life was the birth of his 2 grandchildren - Benjermin in 2016 and Bailee in 2018 (or Sir and Poopsie as he called them). He made sure he bought them each a gator or jeep so they could rip around their acreage. He enjoyed hunting and fishing and was especially happy when his kids were old enough to join him on his adventures. He purchased a big stable boat when the kids were younger so that they wouldn’t fall overboard and taught each one how to catch the biggest fish and then how to fillet them and cook them over the open fire. Every summer, he rented a cabin at Madge Lake and the family enjoyed boating, fishing, tubing and swimming. He valued his farm and the home quarter was the original Puritch homestead since 1903. Now it will be passed on to the next generation of Puritchs’. He retired from farming in the late 1990’s and rented out the land but he couldn’t stay away from farming. He went to work for other farmers, most recently Rathgeber Farms operating combine and picking stones. He worked up until 2019. He was looking forward to the 2020 season. He was predeceased by his father, John Puritch (1981), mother, Katie Puritch (1996), sister, Rose O’Mulrey (2001), brother, Alex Puritch (2005), and sister, Ruth Kulaway (2009). He was also predeceased by his brothers-in-law Kelly Ryczak (2004), Norm O’Mulrey and Alvin Gross (2018) and father-in-law Marion Holowka (2014). He is survived by his wife of 38 years, Susan, son Jeffrey (wife Lisa, who Dave referred to as his favourite daughter-in-law) and grandchildren Benjermin and Bailee, daughter Jami, and son Ryan. He is also survived by his sister Mary Gross, sisters-in-law Lorraine Puritch and Karen Ryczak, brother-in-law Ed Kulaway, mother-in-law Lorraine Holowka and numerous nieces and nephews and many good friends. He was loved by many and will be very missed and remembered fondly. The Funeral Service was held on Wednesday, July 15, 2020 at Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre with Crystal Bailey, Certified Celebrant officiating. Words of Remembrance were conveyed by Lisa Puritch. The musical selections included in the service were Amazing Grace, Peace In The Valley, Drink A Beer and I Wished Grandpas Never Died. The interment took place in the Garden of St. Matthew at Yorkton Memorial Gardens with Jeffrey Puritch, Ryan Puritch, Rylan Brezinski, Damian Fatteicher, Neil Rathgeber and Roger Kulaway serving as the casket bearers. Memorials maybe made to Yorkton Paws & Claws or Yorkton SPCA as gifts of remembrance. Condolences can be sent to the family at baileysfuneralhome.com.

BOTHNER - It is with extreme sadness that the family of Carter George Bothner announce his passing on Sunday, July 12, 2020 at the age of 12. Carter was born on February 12, 2008. He grew up in Yorkton attending the Yorkton Nursery School, St. Alphonsus and St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Schools. He spent time riding his bike, swimming and playing at the splash parks and playgrounds. In Grade 3, he moved with his family to Pike Lake, SK. He continued to enjoy acreage life, quading, hunting and exploring the outdoors. Carter was known for his bright coloured clothing and his speed whether it be on foot or on ice. He had a strong endurance which lead him to be an excellent long distance runner. Carterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of hockey and silliness in the change rooms lightened the mood for his teammates. Another sport he excelled in was soccer. He always tried his best, win or lose and was just as happy for others to succeed. He was a kind hearted child with big brown eyes that seemed to sense what you were feeling and anyone who ever had a hug from Carter knew he did what he could to make others feel better. Little kids looked up to him and Carter made time to play with everyone. His ability to care for all things living was seen in the way he treated animals and his green thumb. Carter loved chickens, playing, sports, Pokemon â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially Pikachu. He had incredible building skills and an imagination that allowed him to improve things and make them simpler to use. At a very young age, Carter was building advanced Lego and often would rebuild the kits without instructions. He was starting to learn new skills and spent time helping his Grandpa Bernie build a new moveable chicken coup. Carterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awareness of wild and tame animals was incredible. His patience and skills allowed him to catch many wild animals with his bare hands. Frogs, Chickadees, baby pigeons, full grown gopher, prairie chicken, domestic chickens, wild cats, mice and fish. Carter could pilot an atv better than some full grown adults could. Even at an early age his experience showed he knew how to read the trail. Carter liked kayaking after attending Canoe Camp. Within the first year of being at Pike Lake he got a kayak of his own and could be seen paddling around the creek. Carter enjoyed spending time with Grandpa Ed at the farm. While in the Calgary hospital Carter liked when Ed came to visit and they spent a lot of time drawing together. Carter and Uncle Chris liked to spend time fishing. Uncle Curtiss and Samantha spent summers camping with Carter and Alexis. Carter was an independent kid who enjoyed helping in the kitchen, making Scotch eggs and his speciality on Frydays - homemade Carter Fries which quickly became his sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite. He made his own lunches for school by grade 2 and was a big help around the house always willing to try and make your day better. Carter had a quick wit and had some of the best sayings. His warm smile and laugh was contagious. When his baby sister, Bailey, joined the family in February Carter was so excited to be a Big Brother again. He would make up songs to sing to settle her. Carter had the magic touch to get Bailey to stop crying and go to sleep. Two years ago PANS caused a significant change in Carter and started lengthy struggles in and out of hospital. Robbing him of his middle school experience. He was going to the US to continue treatments once COVID restrictions allowed travel. As a final act of giving, Carter was able to be an organ donor and help improve others lives. Carter will be loving remembered by his sisters, Alexis (age 10) and Bailey (age 4 months), parents Angela and Lyle, grandparents Ed and Charlotte Bothner; Bernie and Thea Howe, Uncles Chris Howe, Curtiss Bothner and Winston (Crissy) Bothner. As well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. A Celebration of Carterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held at his family home in August. We ask those that wish to share memories and pictures of Carter to stop by 59 Redwood Drive and record them in the binder prior to August 1st. This book of stories will help Carterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sisters remember him. Donations can be made to the Pike Lake Fire Department Site 708 Box 77 RR7 Saskatoon S7K 1N2 or to a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charity of your choice.

YORKTON THIS

WEEK

A20

Wednesday, July 22, 2020 | www.YorktonThisWeek.com | Yorkton This Week

Annual Fruit, Flower and Vegetable Show cancelled 2020 has been quite a year, and the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society, like almost every organization, has had to cancel events that we were eagerly anticipating! Our Annual Fruit, Flower and Vegetable Show has been cancelled for August 2020, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have a virtual flower show online! This is something totally new for us. But this is one way that hort members can still present our best of the season to you. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the same (wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it fun to see the exhibits then sit down and enjoy a steaming cup of coffee and delicious dainties with gardening friends?) but hopefully next year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be sharing a face-to-face visit at the show again! Check our website, www.york-

tonhort.ca for details. The Society has always been about promoting horticulture and gardening, and we always want to learn something new! Do you have an unusual plant? Take a photo and submit it to our website for our new feature â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mystery Plantsâ&#x20AC;?. Include the name of the plant, if known, and tell us a little about it. Or, if you have a plant and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what it is, maybe someone can identify it. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll all learn together! Please send in photos to yorktonhort@yahoo.com A dear friend of ours has a breathtaking sight to enjoy in her yard: her Adelaide Hoodless rose in full and lush bloom. It is beautiful every year, but this year the entire bush seemed to be covered with the velvety red roses. If you

DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

Gardenerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Notebook are looking for a rose addition to your yard, this is definitely one to consider! First of all, a rose factoid: the Adelaide Hoodless rose was developed in 1975 by Dr. Henry Heard Marshall at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. It was named after Mrs. Adelaide Hoodless. And who was she? Adelaide Hoodless died in 1910 just before her 53rd birthday, but in her short life she accomplished great

and marvelous things. The youngest of twelve children on a farm in Ontario, she married John Hoodless, a successful businessman in 1881. They had four children, but it was after the sudden death of her infant son in 1889 that Adelaide focused her efforts on educating women with the hope that deaths like his could be prevented in the future. Her career as an educator flourished, and as a result of her experi-

ences and educational outreach, she is known for helping to form the National Council of Women, The YWCA, the Victorian Order of Nurses, and faculties of Household Science. She was a woman who left her mark on Canadian society, and truly deserves a beautiful and hardy rose as her namesake. Now, about the rose itself. The Adelaide Hoodless rose like a sunny spot, with welldrained soil. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plant it in a location with heavy, clay-like soil. The rose can grow to heights of almost five feet and a spread of three feet, producing many sprays of red roses. In dry spells we can water the rose, but we should do this from the bottom to avoid blackspot. We should prune away any

spent blooms to keep the rose blooming, which it will do from July until September. We can give the rose a treat of compost around the base, which helps to retain moisture as well as replenish the soil with good things to keep the rose healthy and strong. And a bonus, it can endure our cold winters! I read that the Adelaide Hoodless can â&#x20AC;&#x153;survive up to 20 years in the right conditionsâ&#x20AC;?, but our dear friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rose is about forty years old and shows no signs of stopping! As our friend said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a survivor!â&#x20AC;? Thank you to our friends at the Yorkton This Week for all their hard work. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pray for good health for all. Have a great week and be sure to wear a hat!

Doctors have tentative deal The province and the Saskatchewan Medical Association (SMA) have reached a tentative fiveyear contract agreement for April 1, 2017, to March 31, 2022. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We value our physicians, both for the exceptional patient care they provide to our citizens and their leadership across the health care system,â&#x20AC;? Health Minister Jim Reiter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This tentative agreement supports fair

and competitive compensation that recognizes their integral role in providing high quality health services.â&#x20AC;? SMA President Dr. Barb Konstantynowicz said she is pleased that after more than three years of bargaining, a tentative agreement is now being put to a vote by Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physicians for ratification. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I urge physicians across the province to

Dr. Konstantynowicz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new agreement supports physicians in many key ways, and ensures that the profession can properly adapt to the changing needs of patients. The SMA Board of Directors is recommending that members accept this tentative agreement.â&#x20AC;?

Honouring the

Graduates of 2020

PAGE 2 Graduation 2020 SHHS

SHHS Valedictory Address By Jillianne Sutian Good afternoon Reverend Fathers and Sisters, teachers, family, friends, school board members, honoured guests, and to my fellow graduates. I am honoured to speak on behalf of the Sacred Heart High School graduating class of 2020. Graduating high school is a milestone that means so much more than academics. It is a transition point between the end of our childhood and the start of our adulthood, the beginning of a new chapter of life. As we atypically gather here today, we must take a few moments to reflect on the journey we took to get here. I wish I was able to hear your reactions, to see you all, and to just share a space. I know this isn’t the graduation you envisioned yourself attending. But here we are. It’s been and continues to truly be a wild ride, but we’ve made it. Yes, we had it rough. It was our last year of high school, and because of a virus, we didn’t even realize our final days were soon. We may have lost several coming-of-age moments, but our journey isn’t over yet. We’ll certainly have these moments eventually. Now, I ask you to take a trip back with me. The year is 2016. We walked into Sacred Heart feeling nervous, yet excited. We had trouble finding our classes in a two hallway building. We had our teachers scare us about how difficult high school is going to be. And they more or less gave us advice like “stay right” or else we’ll end up like Mufasa from The Lion King . From that day, little did we know that we were about to start what probably would have been the most memorable four years of our lives. We weren’t just taught and then tested.

Congratulations Sacred Heart High School Class of 2020!

We didn’t just pass or fail, and then the whole cycle repeats. Throughout our four years, we learned how to ask for help, we learned how to cry, how to laugh. We learned what was important to us. We even learned how to write a ten page essay overnight. Above all, we Jillianne Sutian learned how to make friends. Some friends would last a lifetime, while others would last no more than a semester. But with those friends came memories. I can tell you now that my most valuable school experiences weren’t academic. They were all about people: gaining social skills, respect, self-worth, empathy, and realizing your own potential. And this is coming from someone who gets anxious when talking to others. As we continue to gain new opportunities as we advance in life, we must recognize the stepping stones we had to get here. To our parents, we thank you for supporting us through everything we have done. I know we, as teens, don’t show how grateful we are enough, but I’m telling you right now, we truly are. You have taught us so much. You drove us everywhere for sixteen or more years, dealt with our crazy high school emotions, and acted as our biggest cheerleaders, encouraging us from day one. You have always been there to celebrate our accomplishments with us, and Continued on Page 3

Continued from Page 2 you were also our shoulder to lean on during our stressful times. We thank you for allowing us to experiment and try new things, even though you don’t always agree with them. Sometimes we may fail, struggle, and fall short, but thank you for allowing us to grow independently. If not for your limitless amount of love and sacrifices, we would not be where we are today. No matter how far apart we may be, just know that we will always need your guidance. We look up to you and will always love you. To the teachers and staff of Sacred Heart High School, we thank you. Because of you, we have learned many lessons such as the importance of hard work and perseverance. Though many of us may be heading in separate directions, these lessons serve as the foundation for who we are. We have learned many of these lifelong lessons from you. From Mr. Grela, we’ve learned that it’s okay to waste time by talking about wasting time. From Mrs. Tratch, we’ve learned that it’s fun to trick people using psychology. From Mr. Digout, we’ve learned that if you want attention, you must clear your throat very intensely. The many bits of advice that you all have given us won’t be forgotten, but despite what you may tell us, it’s possible to procrastinate the night before a final and still get a decent mark. But most importantly, other than giving us advice, you gave us someone to talk to. You have given us your patience and support, even though you say there are no ‘dumb’ questions. We thank you for being there. You’ve made this school, this community, our second home. Our second family. We have each joined teams and clubs, watched

games and plays, participated in SRC activities, and more. All of these things were only possible because of you. Finally, to my fellow graduates, thank you. Thank you to both those I’ve known for years and to those I’ve just met this year, but wish I’d known for so much longer. Although this chapter of our lives may be coming to a close, I know that we have been prepared for what is yet to come. We need to take pride in what we have fulfilled already, but also in what we have yet to fulfill. I know that we will do grand things with the rest of our lives that we cannot fathom yet. We kept going, from extra-curricular activities getting cancelled, to the rest of the year being cancelled completely. And now in this strange situation, with just me on this screen of yours, and you in your own homes, scattered far away from all the friends you expected to be with on this important day, we have become high school graduates. We had a very emotional grade twelve year filled with success, joy, heartbreak, and despair. Together, we coped and fought through our stresses, and these troubles became our best mentor. In our own way, we were there for each other. It’s also important to know that no matter what illness, hardship, or circumstance lies in front of us, with faith in God and ourselves, we can achieve anything. Ever since school got cancelled unexpectedly, I’ve realized that I have wasted so many opportunities I had in the past. I missed all the chances to gain new experiences. I missed all the times where I could’ve helped someone. I missed all the moments I could’ve been laughContinued on Page 4

VALEDICTORY Continued from Page 3 ing with my friends. Living in a society where we are constantly busy, we get so caught up in our future that we forget what’s right in front of us. We lose sight of the things that bring us true joy in the present. We forget how happy, strong, fulfilled, excited, and how alive we are at the moment. I know you think I got it all figured out. Truth is, I don’t. We all anxiously anticipate things we yearn to happen. We ask ourselves things like “When am I getting accepted into university?” or “When is Mr. DePape going to stop drinking Coke?”. It’s not a bad thing to think ahead, but many of us tend to focus too much on the future. I urge you to ditch this mindset that has

ruled so many of our experiences. Savour the present going through the beautiful and terrible moments of life with faith, hope, and love. Cherish each other, treasure every moment you have. Spend however much time you need figuring out what you really want. You don’t need to have all the answers right now. It’s probably better if you don’t. The world will change you in ways you would never expect. Let that help you grow. As we go forward in our lives, whether we are heading to a trade school, a university or simply wherever the wind takes us, remember to do so with an open mind and a full heart. It has been a bittersweet journey. Be ready for whatever the world throws at you and keep going. Thank you, and God bless you all.

Graduation 2020 YRHS

YRHS Valedictory Address By Maggie Robertson Hello YRHS Graduates, teachers, and families. My name is Maggie Robertson, Valedictorian of the class of 2020. I want to share a few lessons and ideas that I have been trying to instill in my life during these crazy and changeable times. For starters, be brave. Be courageous enough to chase your ambitions, search for yourself, be inspired, and speak up against injustice. As Vincent Van Gogh once said, “what would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?” So, I encourage you to take opportunities, even if it scares you. Learn every day. Exercise your mind, think, dream. Make yourself do things you wouldn’t usually do- make a routine, break it and make a new one. Be human, be present. Laugh and share your laughter. Look back and smile at the things you’ve done. Be proud of the things you have achieved. Notice your growth through the years, and be grateful for the people who have helped you along the way. Acknowledge those who have inspired you and made you better. Remember, for the first time in a long time,

the world is slowing down. We now have more time to spend with our families, to reflect on our lives, and to create. I invite you to embrace your time in isolation- study your craft, practice your passions, prepare for the future. But also, take time to rest. Maggie Robertson Let this experience change you for the better- Let it transform your perspective on life, how you appreciate your surroundings, and how you view yourself. Then, be hopeful for what’s to come. Remember, that growing up is about discovering who you want to be, not what you want to be. Know that you cannot be defined by a single word or job title. And don’t worry, you don’t need to know where to start. All you Continued on Page 15

VALEDICTORY

Continued from Page 14 need to do is begin, and your path will open itself up to you. In the end, the opportunities for your life are infinite, which is both marvellous and terrifying. It takes an incredible amount of courage to choose something- to completely commit your time and effort into an unknown pathway. But, as a generation, we have shown resilience in tough situations. We care about injustice and are willing to take action and accountability. Despite everything, we continue on, we adapt, and we speak up. Because of our families, friends, teachers, and experiences, we are well equipped for the future. We are ready to take on opportunities with courage, determination, and hope. Class of 2020, in our four years we have survived 1 pandemic, completed 3 Mario Kart

Races, sold 5 magazines, did 10 pretty cool science experiments, created 12 formal outlines, attended 25 RCR events, skipped 35 RCR events, written 150 math tests, ran 400 laps, played a thousand wrong notes, drawn 20 000 doodles, travelled 40 000 km for sports, and made 2.5 million trips to Tims... And, we got through it, creating lasting friendships and extraordinary memories along the way. So, on behalf of the class of 2020, I want to praise and thank our teachers and families for their continued support in our journey as young adults and our exploration of who we are and who we want to become. Your advice, lessons, and words of encouragement helped shape us as people. For that, we can never thank you enough. Thank you for your time and congratulations to all of my graduating peers.
