After a half decade of inactivity the Yorkton Regional High School Marching Band is back in formation starting with a halftime performance at Friday’s football game.

YRHS restarts its marching band By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer A Yorkton Regional High School tradition was reborn Friday. At halftime of the Friday Night Under the Lights football game at Kinsmen Century Field the school’s marching band was back in formation.

“The students worked really hard to get ready for this,” said band leader and firstyear music instructor Adelle Sawatzky after the performance. What the large crowd at the game saw “that was their (students) hard work.” The marching band which

had been notable for years participating in major events such as the Grey Cup and Rose Bowl Parades, had been dormant at the school for a number of years, going back to before COVID-19. Under Sawatzky they began practicing again in September with Friday their first public outing.

So why resurrect the marching band? “It’s a big part of the tradition (at the school),” said Sawatzky. Although in her first year at the school Sawatzky said she felt good about taking on bringing back the marching band, in-part because longtime instructor Larry Pearen

agreed to help. “I knew I could do it with him,” she said. While the students were musicians, the marching was an element they had to learn in a matter of a few weeks. “It’s getting to know the formations and playing together,” said Sawatzky

Friday football under the lights By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer In what the game announcer was calling one of the best games played at Kinsmen Century Field in years, the Yorkton Regional High School Raider Gridders found a way to win late under the lights Friday evening. “We scored on the first drive,” said Yorkton head coach, Roby Sharpe, who added that might not have been the best thing because the team seemed to think they were on their way to another easy win. “They sort of let their foot off the gas.”

But the visiting Moose Jaw Central Cyclones were not ready to throw in the towel. The game was close at the half, and in a mistake riddled third quarter things turned the visitor’s way. Sharpe said the quarter was a strange one. The Raiders saw two snaps on punts sail over the punter’s head, from two different centers. Then a sure-handed receiver let a pass fall to the grass after it hit him in the numbers. But, Yorkton held a slim 13-10 lead through most of the quarter until Moose

It took a comeback for the Raider Gridders to earn a win.

Yorkton resident named a ‘Rising Star By Tanner WallaceScribner Staff Writer A local business owner has received a national award for helping people with their finances. Kristen Zubko, a financial advisor at Edward Jones in Yorkton, was named one of 38 Rising Stars under 35 in the wealth management industry by Wealth Professional Magazine. “It’s an honour. I think it really speaks that in Yorkton, we have the service level that competes across Canada. Our clients and our business are essentially as successful as those that are in bigger centres. I think that is something to be proud of coming from Yorkton,” Zubko said. “It’s exciting to be mentioned in a

national award, particularly being from Yorkton born and raised, and opening my business here really speaks to the level of service that we are able to provide to our clients and that we are top tier in regards to that level of service and the success our business has had.” The magazine, which is a national finance magazine, said via their website that young professionals working in the Canadian wealth management industry were forced to navigate choppy waters at an early juncture in their careers. “The COVID-19 pandemic sparked a market crash in March 2020, workforces went remote, and investors were left biting their nails and questioning their port-

ages to rise to the occasion. For up-and-coming wealth professionals, it

was a chance to prove they had the ability to thrive. Whether it was rebalancing portfolios, taking advantage of market dislocations, designing new products or talking panicked clients through their financial plan, young professionals across the country excelled. To uncover the bright young stars who shone during a particularly testing year.” Zubko explains what she does to help residents in and around Yorkton. “I help people that are either retired or nearing retirement build a plan, so they know if their money is going to last in retirement,” she said. “Most people have a variety of investments in various accounts across different institutions, so

I sit down with them and put their information all together and present one big financial picture for them.” “I notice that just sitting down with somebody and having a look at their finances can really change things in the long run; little changes that you do today can make big differences down the road,” she noted. As one of the countries’ Rising Stars, Zubko gave people some advice. “Sitting down with someone that you actually trust is going to be really good to make sure that they understand what your goals are and what is important to you, and that can help you build a plan based on that,” she explained. “A common theme that

FOOTBALL Continued from Page A1 Jaw scored a major late to take the lead. The Raiders were up against it in the fourth quarter. With only a 1-1 record, their scheduled game in Swift Current

cancelled, Yorkton could not afford to lose. “If we’d lost the next two games would have meant nothing,” said Sharpe. But with a Grade 10 Chase Batke at the

helm at quarterback the Raider Gridders put in a better fourth quarter for an eventual 28-23 win. Sharpe said Saturday morning he texted his QB to tell him how proud he was of his effort.

“He’s as tough as nails ... What’s he going to be when he’s in Grade 12?” asked Sharpe. The offence clicked in and that was the difference. “We came storming

back and they couldn’t stop us,” said Sharpe. Now with two games left on the schedule, the Raider Gridders have a shot at a semi-final berth. “The next two games we should win and that

would put us in,” said Sharpe. The Raider Gridders host Moose Jaw Peacock Saturday, Oct. 16, at 2 p.m. at Century Field, then head to Moose Jaw Oct. 23 to face Vanier.

Raider Gridder alumni who missed their Grade 12 season due to COVID-19 in 2020 were remembered Friday when a football with their signatures was buried at Kinsman Century Field.

Footballers honoured By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Raider Gridders lost their 2020 season to the COVID19 pandemic, meaning graduating Grade 12 players lost their final year of high school football. So Friday night in the game held under the lights at Kinsmen Century Field those players who missed their final season were remembered with a special ceremony.

The players, at least those home for the Thanksgiving weekend signed a football which was buried on the Yorkton sidelines at halftime so they will always be with the team in years to come. “I’ve seen it done in the States. It was actually done with a baseball team,” said Yorkton high school head coach Roby Sharpe. Sharpe said most players were around to sign it, although a few were

off at college, and simply weren’t available to ink the ball. For the coach it was also a reminder of what might have been. “For me it was the best football team we’d ever had,” he said, noting they had graduated only two players from 2019 so were veteran –laden. The team was rated third in the country, and Sharpe said he felt they should have been number one. “We weren’t the best 5A team in Saskatchewan but in the country,” he

said. “A global pandemic was the only thing that could stop us.” The players honoured included; Val Declines, Sam Hove, Vicaas Junek, Teagan Werner, Kenten Effa, Braeden Miller Loving, Jaxon Boyda, Milos Mandic, Maddox Stechyshyn, Darian Derbowka, Keane Szabo, Kaidyn Malysh, Garret Ellis, Tannon Keltie, Noah Bymak, Logan Walters, Reece McCormick, Dominic Lepowick, and Katelynne Hoffman.

Harvest has changed On Oct. 4, Irma Schuster, widely known as Gigi, climbed the ladder of her grandson’s (Thomas Morris) ‘big green combine’ about 9 miles straight north of Bangor, to go for a ride for the last 20 acres of the combining season. GiGi said it was a very interesting ride and many things have changed drastically since her and her husband, Frank, farmed years ago.

Roy Lough has been hunting waterfowl in the east central region of the province for decades, travelling each year from Ontario.

Wednesday, October 13, 2021 www.yorktonthisweek.com

Hunting with the next generation, Roy Lough takes young hunters out for a shoot.

Hunter migrates west each fall to find birds By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer and Roy Lough Roy Lough has spent most of his life hunting ducks. Most of the hunts have taken place in East Central Saskatchewan, a locale he makes a yearly pilgrimage to in pursuit of his favourite fowl. “To understand my addiction to waterfowl hunting I feel I must give a little history of my family,” said Lough, 77. “Although he was not critical of people who hunted, my father was not a hunter. He had no interest in spending time afield. “My great grandfather Levi Burton of Twillingate, NFLD. was a commercial fisherman and hunter to provide food for his family. He hunted sea ducks and as money to buy powder and shot was scarce he would only shoot waterfowl on the water. After carefully lining the birds up he would pull the trigger to obtain as much meat as possible. “My mother believed I inherited my love of hunting from Levi and encouraged me to hunt from an early age. She would gladly cook any game I harvested.” It wasn’t long after starting to hunt Lough began a lifelong love of hunting ducks in particular. “Although I had hunted rabbits and partridge for a couple of years my first encounter with duck hunting started in a beaver dam slough on the outskirts of Port Arthur, Ont., now Thunder Bay,” he told Yorkton This

Week. “A friend and I knew the ducks were using this water as we had scouted prior to opening day. I had managed to shoot a single mallard duck and my addiction to waterfowl hunting began.” Lough’s addiction eventually brought him west. “I started to visit the prairie provinces to hunt 58 years ago,” he said. “My wife’s uncle owned a farm near Steinbach, MB. We would travel to Manitoba to hunt on Saturday as hunting at that time was not allowed on Sunday. The return trip was 900 miles to hunt for one day. “I usually made the trip for my one day hunts at least three times a fall. Of course gasoline was only 45 cents a gallon and the environment was not a consideration. We hunted ducks and

geese as well as prairie chicken morning and evening. “We attended the local barn dance on Saturday night, drank a little ‘white lightning’ and enjoyed spending social time with the local farmers.” But stories soon brought Lough deeper into the Prairies. “I had heard of the exceptional waterfowl hunting in Saskatchewan and yearned for the opportunity to hunt geese in one of the best waterfowl areas in North America,” he said. “A friend of mine, Harold Haukeness had relatives in Saskatchewan and had hunted the previous year in Cabri and Estevan. He suggested I accompany him on a hunting trip in 1969. Harold lived in Vermilion Bay, ON., and we could not arrange a

time to hunt until Oct.30. Arrangements were made for me to travel 225 miles, stay overnight and leave for Cabri the next morning. “I left home in snow flurries, but shortly it turned into a winter blast with eight inches of snow falling en route and overnight. Harold could not believe that I had traveled in the snow storm and perhaps thought that I was not right of mind. “However, he said he would phone Cabri and seek out the hunting and weather conditions. “Ed Caza, a local guide, told us there was no snow and geese were fairly plentiful and we should be able to collect a few. The trip was a huge success with decent hunting in Cabri and very good duck hunting standing on ice in a slough near Weyburn.

“Falling through the ice several times was the added bonus. I was completely hooked on Sask. bird hunting. I returned the next year to hunt Cabri with three friends from Thunder Bay and indeed hunted in that area for about 12 years.” But Lough yearned for better duck hunting. “Although goose hunting was good at Cabri duck hunting was spotty at best, with only a few sloughs to hunt south of the river. I decided I needed a new area with a better concentration of ducks,” he said. “An older friend of mine by the name of Bill Fleming had been hunting the Wadena, Quill Lake area with local guide Steve Kwasnitza. Steve was a skilled guide and had been written up in American hunting magazines at that time. We arranged a day to hunt with Steve on our way home from Cabri one year and enjoyed a great day afield. “We never fired a shot because we had only informed Steve we were coming the day before and he had not had a chance to scout. Steve showed us the area. We saw hundreds of birds and were delighted with our newly found duck paradise. Arrangements were made to return to Wadena for a week the following year; that was the start of my hunting in Sask. for two weeks each fall. “The following year when we returned to Wadena, Steve was not available as he had previously booked clientele. We headed for Ponass Lake as we enjoyed

water hunting and thought this would be a great place to start.” The dedication to the hunt above almost all else then came to the fore, taking Lough away from answering emailed questions. “My wife just heard geese going over our house in Lintlaw, (they bought the house to stay in while duck hunting each fall),” he explained. “I didn’t hear them because of my hunting in the early years without hearing protection. I must drop the pen to scout for tomorrow’s hunt. I will continue my story on my return. “Having arranged tomorrow’s hunt I will now continue.” Lough retuned to thoughts of long ago ducks at Ponass Lake, north of Wadena. “The first day on Ponass Lake with chest waders and water up to our waist we shot two ducks,” he said. “The second morning was no better and we returned to Wadena for breakfast at the local cafe. As we lamented our first day and a half we took comfort in the old duck hunting saying, ‘If you have lemons enjoy a glass of lemonade’. “A nearby farmer had heard our chatting and laughing about our poor luck and approached our table. The farmer was John Semko from Lintlaw and he invited us to his farm as the ducks were eating his barley swaths. Directions were given and very early the next morning we met John as we were

Perspective Nothing honourable in Wilson’s actions

Politics One could forgive — or perhaps at least understand — a politician making a decision of conscience. If sincere, it might even be something we should honour in a world where far too many decisions are based on what’s popular and will get you re-elected. But the problem with recent events surrounding Saskatchewan Rivers MLA Nadine Wilson —now sitting as independent MLA after being removed from the Saskatchewan Party caucus for “misrepresenting her vaccine status” — is nothing seems particularly honourable or even all that honest. Let us begin with the misrepresentation — not exactly helpful in a profession where most people feel there’s always a little too much “misrepresentation” going on. Exactly how the current Saskatchewan Rivers MLA “misrepresented” herself on her COVID19 shots remains unclear, but it is clear she was sitting in the assembly last spring masked and wearing a “I stuck it to COVID” sticker, suggesting she had both of her shots. This is a big issue. If she opposed vaccinations, she should have simply said so. Getting both shots is something that government can’t force you to do, but it’s something government has encouraged all of us to do for some very good reasons. Since the beginning of September, Saskatchewan has seen 14,964 more cases and 123 more deaths in what’s been slightly more than a month-long period. Even though roughly 70 per cent of those eligible are vaccinated, these are the worst COVID19 numbers since Saskatchewan’s first case in March 2020. The vast majority of those catching COVID-19 are unvaccinated, including children under 12 years old ineligible for vaccines. Really the courageous, independent and right stance for a government MLA to take right now would more likely seem to be protesting or resigning from caucus because this Sask. Party government hasn’t done enough to curb the aforementioned rising COVID-19 numbers. Or at least, that’s what the vast majority of people in most Saskatchewan ridings now seem to be saying. A recent Leger opinion poll taken from Sept. 24 to 26 suggests 74 per cent are dissatisfiedwith Premier Scott Moe’s handling of COVID-19 compared with 24 per cent who said they were satisfied. This would suggest Wilson and all her former Sask. Party caucus mates would be getting most of the heat from voters wanting government to do more in the COVID-19 fight — not necessarily the admittedly vocal anti-mask, anti-vaccine minority. It is now actually a requirement for everyone who works at the legislature (including reporters) to show proof of vaccination or proof that you have been tested in the past 72 hours. If this was a personal issue or problem for Wilson, it is clearly something she should have long ago mentioned to the caucus, the Premier and — most critically — the people that elected. But we heard nothing from Wilson until after the caucus announcement when she issued the following e-mail: “I can no longer support the direction of the Saskatchewan Party government or follow the government with true conviction regarding the current health situation. The desire for a just and fair democratic province has helped shaped my decision to leave and sit as an independent member.” Just and fair democratic province? So shouldn’t she then honourably resign her seat and let voters decide? Her decision to leave and sit as an independent? It was actually government caucus that first issued a news release saying she had “misrepresented her status” and was no longer a caucus member. Her questionable explanations don’t stop there. For example, she told a radio host she wore the sticker because MLAs are always being asked to wear stickers and ribbons to which seemingly doesn’t pay much attention. That would seem to suggest she is being either unprincipled or something less than forthright … words that now sadly sum up the circumstance of her departure from the Sask. Party caucus. Murray Mandryk has been covering provincial politics since 1983.

◆Editorial◆

Much to give thanks for M

onday was of course Thanksgiving, a day that should be about more than eating too much turkey and watching Canadian Football League games on television. It should have been a time to reflect on what we have to be thankful for, although this year that might have seemed like a most daunting task. We have gone through a year where often things seem to be nothing but bad news. The recent federal election, as an example, has left a bad taste in the mouths of many Saskatchewan voters, who happened to have backed the Conservatives, only to see the Liberals hold on to power for another term. There is a rather distinct dislike out there for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and his return as PM has ramped up that dislike a notch or two farther, to the point we see an occasional flag flying with some rather stark words directed at Trudeau. The flags don’t really add anything to the conversation about the PM’s job, but they do show the disquiet some feel. So, maybe Monday we might have taken a moment to be thankful we still live in a democracy where we might not always be happy with the outcome of an election, but we can be happy we had the chance to vote. Not every country enjoys that freedom. And we can fly flags of protest too. In some countries, that act might have you thrown in a very dark cell, for a very long time.

We can also be thankful to those marked on banners in our city at present for helping ensure those freedoms we now often forget are precious. Then there is the dry conditions of summer to lament, which hit farmers hard. No rain hurts crop yields, but a little silver lining to be thankful for has to be the outstanding fall that had harvest complete for most weeks ahead of normal. We might also want to lament the continued impact of COVID-19 too. Worldwide we are approaching 5 million deaths – more than the population of neighbouring Alberta for comparison. In Canada more than 28,000 are dead, or roughly everyone in Estevan and Yorkton. In Saskatchewan we have now seen the death toll climb past 750, or the equivalent of everyone in Sturgis, SK. and about 100 more. And while infections are as high as they have been -- we may have lessened restrictions too soon -there are at least vaccines available. Vaccines were key in dealing with world health issues such as tuberculosis and smallpox and if our health care system doesn’t collapse under the weight of those needing intensive care first it is to be hoped vaccinations will help us get through COVID-19 too. So as rocky as the road has been in recent months, as many issues we have faced, Canada is still better than most places to live and we still have much we should have paused Monday to be thankful for.

Local dealership raised over $10,000 for cancer Initiatives This summer, a local car dealership raised money for cancer initiatives through new and used car sales. Yorkton Hyundai donated $100 from each new and used vehicle sold during July and August to the Brayden Ottenbreit Close Cuts for Cancer Local Cancer Initiative. The final amount was raised totalling $10,400. Leone Ottenbreit, the co-founder of Close Cuts for Cancer, said it was incredible to see how much money was raised this year. “In a year when a lot of the car lots are empty, we are very thankful that Ron (Kaban) and his staff were going to be doing this again,” she said. “This just is amazing because we know that the car lots were empty and

am very happy.” Ron Kaban is the Dealer Principal at Yorkton Hyundai and has

been doing this fundraiser for six years; and said it’s always a great feeling to be able to donate

money to a good cause. “You know in these times you don’t think you can sell as much as we did, but we worked hard, the staff worked hard, and it’s not easy at these times, but we are fortunate enough that we did get product,” he said. “There are so many that are affected by cancer in all walks of life. Everybody is affected in one way or another. I really wanted to keep it local as much as possible to help the local people because that’s who gives back to us.” Ross Fisher, the executive director of The Health Foundation, talked about where the money will be headed. “It’ll go into our cancer care programs. Over the last number of years, we’ve been able to expand a num-

ber of the things that we do with patients locally so that more services are available here,” he said. “Everything from expanded chemotherapy treatments to lymphodema programs, to palliative care services, so there is a wide range of different services that are put in place that touch on cancer care and patients and really this program, and the work that Greg and Leone do, and the support we have from people like Ron Kaban, these funds that come in allow us to purchase the equipment that allows us to put those programs and services in place.” Ottenbriet added that she is extremely thankful to Ron and his staff for helping them raise money going towards local cancer initiatives.

Want to get your licence? Better get your COVID-19 shot Proof of vaccination or negative test required for SGI road tests starting Oct. 25 Starting October 25, SGI will require proof of full vaccination or a recent negative COVID-19 test for anyone who wishes to take a road test for their driver’s licence. “Providing proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test is now standard practice

to access many businesses, services, and venues,” said Penny McCune, Chief Operating Officer for the Auto Fund. “This will improve safety for our customers and employees.” According to numbers recently published by the Saskatchewan Health

Authority, young people are over-represented among those who are unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated. Over the past 12 months, half of those taking an SGI road test were age 19 or under, and 38 per cent were between the ages of 20 and 30. Unlike other customer-

facing services SGI offers, customers and driver examiners participating in a road test are in close quarters in an enclosed air space within a vehicle. This new requirement helps further reduce the risk of COVID transmission, on top of SGI’s existing

safe work procedures. In accordance with provincial government direction, SGI employees are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or provide proof of a recent negative test. For more information, visit www.sgi.sk.ca/covid-19.

Strong job growth continues in Sask. Today, job numbers released by Statistics Canada for September 2021 show Saskatchewan’s unemployment rate fell to 6.3 per cent from 7.1 per cent a year ago, and well below the national average of 6.9 per cent (seasonally adjusted). Saskatchewan gained 11,500 jobs in September 2021 compared to the same period last year. This represents an increase of 2.0 per cent. Month-to-month seasonally adjusted employment increased by 5,300

Off-reserve Aboriginal employment was up 7,000 jobs (+13.1 per cent) for 10 consecutive months of year-over-year increases to an all-time historical high of 60,600 jobs, 51,200 of those jobs being full-time. Aboriginal youth employment was up 4,100 jobs (+47.1 per cent) for six consecutive months of year-over-year increases to an all-time historical high of 12,800 jobs. Major year-over-year gains were reported for wholesale and retail trade with 9,300 jobs up,

(+0.9 per cent) from August 2021, above the national increase of 0.8 per cent. “ S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s economy continues to show resilience as it has throughout the pandemic, with more job gains and a low unemployment rate,” Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “As our economy continues to recover and grow, we’ll see even more good jobs and opportunities for Saskatchewan people in the months ahead.”

healthcare and social assistance up 7,000 jobs and manufacturing up 3,700 jobs. Over the same period, the private sector was up 18,000 jobs (+5.6 per cent), female employment increased by 5,900 jobs (+2.3 per cent) and youth employment was up 7,300 jobs (+9.8 per cent). Saskatchewan’s youth unemployment rate was 9.1 per cent, the second lowest among the provinces and well below the national average of 11.3 per cent (seasonally adjusted).

Sask. tech companies are shining in 2021 Strong momentum continues for Saskatchewanbased tech companies in 2021. In August, the Canadian Venture Capital & Private Equity Association (CVCA) reported Saskatchewan Venture Capital investment reaching a recordbreaking level of $171 million for the first half of 2021. “The investment momentum continues for Saskatchewanbased tech companies,” Minister Responsible for Innovation Saskatchewan Jeremy Harrison said. “The province’s natural economic strengths - strong wages, lower cost of living, and government programs that encourage investment - are showing the world that Saskatchewan is a great place to develop technology.” One key program that helps encourage investment in early-stage tech startups in the province is the Saskatchewan Technology Startup Incentive (STSI), run by Innovation Saskatchewan. STSI - one of the most aggressive angel investment tax credit programs in Canada - offers a 45 per cent tax credit to Saskatchewan-based

investors. First introduced as a pilot in 2018, demand through STSI has grown exponentially. The program has generated over $40 million in private investment to date, resulting in nearly 150 jobs created. This tax incentive program has increased the size of

the province’s investment community, with 62 per cent of eligible investors reporting that they had never made an angel investment prior to applying. That number jumps to 76 per cent of investors reporting having never invested in tech companies prior to participating in STSI.

In addition to the growing venture capital investment in the province, four Saskatchewan tech companies made this year’s list of Canada’s Top Growing Companies, from the Globe & Mail’s annual Report on Business. These companies include Vendasta, 7shifts, Coconut Software,

and sMedia. The program ranks participating private and public Canadian businesses on three-year revenue growth. The Saskatchewan tech community is shining on a national, and international stage, demonstrating explosive investment growth and

Municipal leaders unveil bold vision for a prosperous western Canada The Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ Western Economic Solutions Taskforce (WEST) today released its final comprehensive report with concrete

recommendations to the federal government, as well as a bold vision for a prosperous western Canada. “Western municipal leaders are on the front lines of deep economic anxiety,” said Randy Goulden, City of Yorkton councillor, and chair of WEST. “This report highlights major challenges western communities are facing. It also presents our vision for how western innovation and resourcefulness can protect and create jobs, support Canada’s transition to net-zero emissions, and help drive national prosperity for decades to come.“ Since 2019, WEST has brought together rural and urban municipal

Randy Goulden leaders from Canada’s four western provinces to address the economic

challenges facing western communities. With this report, the taskforce

is proposing concrete solutions that would help support western communities and the industries they rely on. WEST’s final report outlines recommendations that would have both an immediate and long-term impact, including: • Establishing national utility corridors preapproved for the development of transportation, energy and telecommunications infrastructure; • Improving federal impact assessments to improve municipalities’ ability to participate in federal reviews, as well as increase consultation with Indigenous communities; • Improving rail safety with increased funding to enable municipalities

to comply with federal regulations, and; • Supporting energy communities as part of the ‘just transition’ to netzero GHG emissions. “Every region of this country must play a meaningful role in shaping our shared future,” said Goulden. “Canada works best when everyone has real opportunities to thrive. The path forward must include consensus-building and meaningful partnership with Indigenous communities that contributes to justice and reconciliation. We all have a stake in ensuring a bright economic future for western communities—and for the people who proudly call them home.” - Submitted

HUNTER Continued from Page A3 entering his home site. I naively asked him ‘where are the ducks?’ He laughed and said, ‘they are not eating in my garden’. “He ordered us to follow him to his barley field. There were literally 1000 or more mallards and John said, ‘the little bastards are eating hourly’. “We set up in the swath and in a few minutes we were shooting mallards. After a while John returned in a great hurry. He was yelling we had to leave his field. We were shocked and wondered what we had done wrong. But John explained the birds were more intense in his barley field across the road and needed to be chased out. He was going to town to buy us shells but we turned his offer down as we had a more than adequate supply. We quickly moved to the other field, built a bale blind, ‘melted our guns’ and had our limit of birds. “My transition to a Lintlaw duck hunter was guaranteed. And here I remain hunting 50 years later.” It wasn’t long before Lough was not just a hunter, but an advocate for ducks. “During our early years hunting in Wadena we decided to attend our first Ducks Unlimited banquet,” he recalled. “Milo Mahlum, an outstanding auctioneer, and one of the finest people I’ve ever met was doing the auction. We struck up a friendship and when Thunder Bay decided to host our first DU event we

Ryder Last, age 32 months, collects ducks for his ‘Uncle’ Roy Lough Oct. 8. invited Milo to be the auctioneer. He returned 11 times and set record prices for items at our auction. “In the meantime I decided since there were so many DU banquets in the surrounding area I would attend auctioneer’s school in Billings, Montana. Booking into Western College of auctioneering was a great choice and after graduating I started to auction for DU Canada and various charities. I donated my time to auction 135 banquets for DU Canada including auctions in Ontario, Sask. and northern Minnesota.” However, Lough was not always on-side with DU policies.

“I became disillusioned with DU Canada about 20-years ago,” he said. “They decided to remain neutral on gun control in Canada. Without shotguns law abiding hunters cannot hunt. Duck hunters started DU and are its most loyal and ardent supporters. Although I realize DU is in partnership with the Canadian government on many projects a few simple words of support for Canada’s dwindling waterfowl hunters would have been appreciated. “The last straw was when DU placed ‘Foot Traffic Only’ signs on their properties. The average age of a waterfowl hunter is 50-plus years. As duck hunting

on water requires bags of decoys, a shotgun, shells and miscellaneous items, it is very difficult to carry everything to the slough. In effect ‘Foot Traffic Only’ has turned into ‘No Hunting’ on the properties that the hunters built. “I presently actively support and auction for Delta Waterfowl as they are pro hunter and farmer friendly.” But why a half century of travelling to the local region to hunt? “I have often been asked why I keep coming back to Lintlaw,” said Lough. “For over 20-years my friends and I had Thanksgiving dinner with John and Helen Slusarchuk and their family. “Often I have had a ‘wee nip’ with Bob Schindel Sr. after a little duck hunt. “Enjoyed a vodka straight with beer chaser at Joe Bialek’s farm. “And had coffee with the Klassen’s. “If I were to mention everyone that I have visited in their home it would be like reading the local phone book. “To all I am grateful

for their hospitality. “I have returned to Lintlaw for weddings, anniversaries, several graduations and recently the wonderful 100th year Lintlaw celebration. “Lately a great many Thanksgiving dinners have been enjoyed at the Cameron and Patsy Last farm.” And just as importantly Lough has been able to pass on his love of hunting ducks to others – younger people who will be the duck hunters of tomorrow. “I have had the pleasure to introduce many young people in the area to waterfowl hunting,” he said. “They are a joy to be with. I am proud to have taken over where Leo Weinhandl left off. Leo was as fine a hunter as I have ever met. He enjoyed our outings and would enjoy taking photographs as much as hunting. He was the original area youth mentor and introduced many young people to waterfowl hunting.” Through the years many things have changed, most in fact, except of course Lough’s love of hunting ducks. “Have things changed since I first arrived. Of course they have,” he said. “Because of economic necessity farms have become much larger. Sloughs have been drained, stone piles buried, more land cleared and in general the area improved for farming.

“With fewer places for the hunter to hide the hunting has become a little harder. “But with today’s big machinery the land must be altered to accommodate today’s farming methods. “Originally two-three quarters was a family farm. But today 10 plus quarters are fairly common. Grain is now desiccated and straight combined and little swath remains in the field so waterfowl are not such a problem. Of course canola ‘poor duck food’ is a huge part of crop rotation now and was not common when I first arrived. “There are many more hunters today and three guiding services in the immediate area.” And, what about 2021? “I would say that hunting this fall has been average,” said Lough. “The local yearly hatch of birds looks to be down and hunting older birds is more of a challenge.” Lough realizes the number of hunts remaining are dwindling. “As I near the end of my hunting career I have been truly blessed to have stumbled on to Lintlaw, met the areas great people and have been welcomed into their community,” he said. “Often when we arrive back in Lintlaw people will say ‘nice to see you back home’.”

Terriers and Mills split on weekend By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Highway #10 rivalry has been renewed for the 2021-22 Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League season. Yorkton and Melville met Saturday at the Westland Arena with the home side taking a 1-0 lead on a goal by Tanner Sklaruk at the 19-minute mark of the first period. The Millionaires knotted the score 1-1 on a goal by Zach Cain at 5:47 in the second. Melville took the lead at 14:30 in the middle frame as Cain struck for his second of the contest. Then 1:10 later in was a 3-1 lead for the visitors on a goal by Jonathan Krahn. The Terriers climbed closer late in the second period when a goal by Kishaun Gervais at 17:22 made it a 3-2 score, and then Gervais scored his second goal to tie the contest going to the dressing rooms after 40-minutes of

play. The tying goal came at 18:43. The only goal of the third period came from the stick of Carter McKay at 5:49 to give the Mills the win 4-3. Kael DePape took the loss in the Terrier nets facing 24 shots, while Jared Thompson earned the win for Melville facing 24. Terrier head coach Mat Hehr said in spite of the loss there were some positives. “We’ve been playing very well defensively,” he said, adding they have been consistent in holding teams to 25-shots or less. But, in other areas Hehr had concerns. “There are parts of our game where we’ve got to stop shooting ourselves in the foot,” he said, adding at times the team simply misfires. “. . . It’s just the breakdowns that have hurt us.” Those breakdowns include bad penalties, as occurred in the third

period where twice the Terriers were applying some offensive pressure and were called for penalties. “If they’re taking a penalty it better be to stop a goal,” he said, adding O-zone penalties are not acceptable. Hehr also said at times the team doesn’t seem hungry enough. “We get up by a goal and it seems like everybody is satisfied,” he said. Still, the try is there, said Hehr. One thing I can say about this team I’ve never seen them quit once. There’s absolutely no quit in these guys,” he said.

Friday in Melville Things started well for the host Millionaires Friday with the ‘ZachAttack’ taking over in the opening period. Zach McIntyre scored unassisted 4:05 into the contest and Zach Cain added one at 17:05 to send

In the second frame the Terriers cut the lead in half when Maddux Nollski scored the only goal of the frame at 13:02. It looked like the 2-1 lead would hold as the

game entered the final minute of play, until Terrier Karsten Kruska scored to even the contest, eventually sending the game to overtime. Kruska was back on the score sheet in OT getting one of the assists on Tyson Janzen’s game-

winner for the Terriers at 2:41. Colby Vrani was the other helper. Kael DePape earned the victory in the Terrier net facing 24-shots, while Alexis Giroux was tagged for the loss for Melville facing 37-shots.

In spite of scoring 34 points the home team could not top the visiting Moose Jaw Vikings on the weekend.

Pee Wee Gridders lose at home By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Pee Wee Gridders hosted the Moose Jaw

Vikings in their final regular game of the season Saturday. The visiting Vikings came away with a 50-34 win at Kinsmen Century Field.

“It was a good battle,” said Yorkton head coach Jon Muir. Muir said the Gridders took some time to get into the game. “The offence struggled in

the first half,” he said, adding “But they figured it out” to make a game of it in the second half. The loss leaves the Gridders

with a 3-3 record headed to the playoffs. Yorkton will host a playoff game Sunday, Oct. 17 at 2 p.m. against an opponent yet to be determined.

Fighting bulls with the PBR When it comes to bull riding there are three key elements to the sport. The first obviously is the rider. The second is the bull which is integral to the sport. And, finally there are the bullfighters, who protect the rider from the typically unhappy bull when that rider hits the arena dirt, which he always does, whether making a high scoring ride or being tossed in two seconds. Prince Albert’s Jesse Byrne is one of the bullfighters at the high level of the sport, protecting riders in the PBR. Byrne actually started out competing as a rider, but it was never exactly a comfortable place he wanted to be. “I started out riding. I did all the junior steer stuff. When I was 13, 14, 15 I moved into the high school bull riding division,” he said in a recent telephone interview. “I had some suc-

cess. It didn’t go too bad, but it wasn’t for me.” Byrne said there were simply bulls he wasn’t all that interested in riding. But, he still wanted to be involved, and at age 16 he changed course in terms of bull riding. “That’s the point where I was able to take on bullfighting,” he said, adding it was then he received his dad’s blessing. So if there were bulls he didn’t exactly want to ride, how was being in front of every bull as a ‘fighter’ better? “The difference for me was the feeling of being on my own two feet rather than being tied to them,” said Byrne with a chuckle. The change of course was actually following his father, which is where he said he came to want to fight bulls. “It was watching Dad do his thing all those years,” he said, adding he was just happy “I had a chance of follow-

CALVIN DANIELS

Sports ing in his footsteps.” And once he started fighting bulls, Byrne was hooked. “Once I did it, it was everything I thought it would be,” he said. So what does it take to be part of a team of three bullfighters protecting 40-60 riders a show in the PBR? “You’ve got to be able to keep your focus,” said Byrne, and that includes being ready minutes after maybe being tossed by a bull. “You’ve just got to refocus,” he said, noting there is no taking off a shift or two because you are hurting. “Bumps and bruises are always there ... But the mental side, you’ve

to have focus on what is in front of you.” While most of Byrne’s work with the PBR has him working stateside he was back in Canada, in fact back home in Prince Albert earlier this year, plying his trade as a bullfighter alongside his brother Tanner, a former PBR rider more recently turned to fighting. PBR Canada began its 2021 season June 11-12, launching the new season with the Tanner Byrne Invitational, in PA on Tanner’s utilizing his own property and bull riding arena. Jesse said it was a great family event. “It was super exiting,” he said, adding it

came after “kind of a long wait for things to get going again (due to COVID-19 restrictions). “It was sort of a family reunion at the same time. That was just awesome. It was back to our roots, where it all started.” As for Tanner now fighting bulls, Jesse said it was almost inevitable. “He’s always loved bullfighting as much as I do,” he said. So, how about the sport overall? It continues to grow with big crowds watching what seems to be even better riders and even better bulls. Among the riders Brazil’s Jose Vitor Leme is number one in the world, and the reigning world champion. “It’s safe to say he’s one the best ever,” said Byrne, adding it’s likely he will break every record before he’s through, and he is only 25. “There’s no doubt in my mind every time the gate opens the bull’s

the underdog (with Leme). He’s got the will and determination. It’s there every time.” The top bull right now is Woopaa from Barker Bulls and Hookin’ W Ranch. Byrne notes the bulls are every bit the athletic equal to the riders in the sport. “There’s lot of fans at PBR events because of the bulls ... The athleticism at that size you won’t see anywhere else,” he said. Recently, Leme drew Woopaa at the PBR 15/15 Bucking Battle in Tulsa, and the tandem did not disappoint. Leme made the eight second whistle and the judges awarded the ride a score of 97.75 the best ever in the PBR. It was a ride for the ages, but fate proved cruel to Byrne who did not work the event. “I kind of felt it was coming,” said Byrne, adding Woopaa is a dynamic bucking bull, and Leme simply at the top of his game.

Dark comedy set for month end By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Paper Bag Players are back rehearsing for a new one act show to debut later this month. Justin Kacsmar is directing Act of Grace by John Muggleton. “It’s a dark comedy,” he said, adding it does come with a warning of mature themes and language. The story focuses on two old

high school classmates Chuck and Tony both successful businessmen. And, Grace a lonely widow. Grace contacts Chuck and Tony to ask for help, and they are intrigued until they learn what she wants them to do -kill someone. Kacsmar said given the theme, and that it is a comedy, it is a challenge to get it just right. There is a need to make sure the serious ele-

ments come across as just that serious, but then be able to get the humour too. The play has Christine Bradley as Grace, with Brent Wagner as Tony and Vince Thiessen as Chuck. The play is Kacsmar’s directorial debut, and is going well, he noted. “It’s been really good. Everyone that’s been cast is a veteran actor,” he said. Having veteran actors has

helped him as a first-time director because they are able to give suggestions. “I get that input ... from actors who are experienced,” said Kacsmar. The show will play two nights, Oct. 29 and 31, just in time for Halloween. The play will be performed at the Old Land Titles Building, with rush tickets and limited seating. Refreshments will be served.

Rehearsals for ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’ are already under way.

Theatre group takes on a classic By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yorkton’s Paper Bag Players are going to take people on a trip to the fabled land of Narnia in the new year. The local theatrical troupe is currently in rehearsal for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The production, based on the adaptation, is by far a grander undertaking than is usual for the group. “This, as far as I remember, is the biggest production Paper Bag Players has produced,” said director Teresa Weber. Weber explained it was somewhat a matter of circumstance that they have taken on a larger production.

Most years Paper Bag Players attends provincial competitions, so they select plays with an eye to be able to take the cast and props on the road. “We’re not going on the road this spring,” said Weber, adding it was an opportunity to look at something a bit bigger. “And, I’ve always wanted to do ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’.” Weber said she has a vision for the production which is the dramatization by Joseph Robinette. “I want to make it big,” she said. When it was suggested that made it sound like the musical once produced locally by Gloria Herauf, Weber simply replied, “I hope to attain that status . . . “We hope it’s going to be as magical

as those musicals were.” Of course there are challenges with a play based on the well-loved book by C.S. Lewis. “One thing we don’t want it to come off as a comedy or a parody,” said Weber, adding they want to be honest to the story and make it “as magical as we can.” The play has a large cast, with 16 speaking parts already cast, but Weber is looking for more people to step forward to be part of the final big battle scene. The battle between good led by the Lion and evil led by the Witch needs to be dramatic and Weber wants another dozen or more to take up swords to be part of the battle. There is also a place for people to

become involved ‘behind the scenes’, in roles such as helping the large cast with make-up, helping create costumes and a host of other jobs on the nights the play hits the stage for the public – tentatively scheduled for next February. Those interested can contact the group on Facebook, or email t.weber@sasktel. net Weber said the whole production has her invigorated. “I’m pretty excited,” she said, adding Romeo and Juliet in the park was a play she had goosebumps over, and those are back for this one. “...I’m feeling a little bit of pressure, but I know I have a phenomenal cast. “I’m very excited this is coming to fruition.”

Food for pumpkins helps food bank Last week, a Yorkton real estate company held a food drive with the donators getting something in return. CORE Real Estate held a food drive with all donations going towards the local Salvation Army. Those who donated received a pumpkin as a thank you for their contributions. Corey Werner, the broker and owner of CORE Real Estate, said that this year’s drive went well. “It’s been really great. We’ve had lots of

people come in and do some donations,” he said. “We’ve had quite a few cash donations, which is great because we can go and ask Salvation Army what the specific needs that they need right now are, and then go and purchase those items. This is the second year that CORE has held the event, and Werner said he started it as he wanted to help out and give back to the community. “Last year, because of what was going on with COVID, with some people not being able to

work, funds were maybe a little tighter for some people, so I feel there was a little more uptake for the needs and people going to the Salvation Army.” Werner said that compared to last year, there were a few more donations dropped off, especially cash donations, something they didn’t have last year. Werner added that he definitely plans on holding a third-annual food drive next year, though he did note things might be a little different.

Victorian times changed flowers In Victorian times, flowers began to have a language all their own. Those were prim and proper days, and a young man might not dare express his burning love for a young lady in words, but he could say it with flowers! To this day, flowers still have the power to express a message. While a bouquet of flowers is welcome at any time for any occasion, we know that certain flowers get right to the point. Deep love? Red roses. Elegant respect? Orchids. Cheery friendship? Daisies. We’ve heard of traditional gifts for each anniversary, but guess what; there are plants for anniversaries, too. We are blessed to know two wonderful couples, onc celebrating their

63rd anniversary, and one celebrating their 65th. Such special events prompted me to do some homework and find out what plants might be associated with these milestone events. A 63rd wedding anniversary is associated with the beautiful and fragrant lilac. Lilacs originally came from the Balkan area, which explains their hardiness here. What plant is more beautifully associated with spring than the fragrant lilac, coming in a delicate palette of white, cream, violet, or burgundy. The colors have meaning: violet or purple represents a sense of spirituality; burgundy is for love; white for purity. The fragrance of lilacs is long loved of

DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

Gardener’s Notebook old: it is so intoxicating that folks used to think it was magic. Lilacs like a sunny location, and if we give them this, they will flower profusely. They like well-drained soil, but enjoy good waterings when they are newly planted. They’re easy to grow and low maintenance, so it’s no wonder that gardeners everywhere love lilacs. Lilacs are a hardy choice. It is always amazing to me that a

country drive will reveal where a farm yard once stood by the row of lilac shrubs that still stand there bravely. Of course, there are many more varieties of lilacs now than there were years ago, so there is a color, size and growing habit of lilacs for every yard. A 65th wedding anniversary is associated with blue hydrangeas, because the 65th anniversary stone is the blue sapphire. This luscious blue represents loyalty,

trust, and wisdom, while the blue sapphire represents faith, faithfulness and commitment. Who can resist the beautiful hydrangea: the globes of flowers are simply magical because they are so unique. Hydrangeas are not difficult to grow indoors as a houseplant, but we just have to accept that they are a bit fussy in terms of care. They like a lot of light, but not direct light. And they are thirsty plants,: we should water them well when they are blooming, but hold back a bit when they are not. We must try to be careful that the soil never dries out completely. Hydrangeas like humidity, so if we can give them a spot bright with indirect sun, cooler temperatures of around

16 degrees, and some humidity, they will be smiling! In winter, they like to kick back and be dormant, so we should move them into a cool room and hold back on watering, giving only enough to so that they don’t wilt. As spring approaches, we can bright them out again and hopefully they will reward us with those lovely blooms again! We send love and best wishes to these dear brides and grooms: you know who you are, and you are all very dear to us! May God bless and keep you always! Happy anniversaries! Thank you to our friends at YTW for their great work each week. See what’s new with the Yorkton Hort society at www.yorktonhort.ca Have a great week!

God cares for chickens, but you are worth far more Alongside raising our grandchildren, Amanda raises fowl. Not a barnful, just a few dozen chickens and a half dozen Indian runner ducks. The birds have done for her what costly stress therapy does for other people. Years ago, our daughter took very long baths to ease her ruffled teenage feathers. These days, with six children and a husband, it seems easier to escape to the birds for a bit. She tells me she finds sitting among them restful and calming. I don’t find that surprising. Didn’t Jesus instruct his followers to consider the birds? She takes that literally.

The Preacher and I have had pet birds, but I don’t know much about barnyard fowl. “Let’s sit with the chickens,” Amanda invited one evening, when I dropped in for a visit. She set up two lawn chairs in the fenced chicken yard behind the coop. A small forest surrounded us on three sides, trees sweet with the songs of sparrows and chickadees. Assorted breeds of hens, a few chicks and the big rooster (Sir Wilfred) pecked the ground and each other, circling near but ignoring us. I laughed at their antics and felt my own

Sunny Side Up stress draining. Amanda posted something about her chickens on Facebook the other day. It touched and inspired me. Thinking it may do the same for the readers of Sunny Side Up, I asked her permission to copy it here. She agreed. In her own words… “When I let out my

chickens this morning, I noticed one of my tiny Old English Game hens was stumbling. Concerned, I caught her (facing the wrath of my protective roo) and brought her inside. She has declined rapidly through the day, and I’m not sure she’ll survive. “I sat with her this evening, carefully giv-

ing her electrolytes and vitamins by syringe. I prayed over her, then struggled with feeling guilty that I am so concerned over such a tiny bird when there are so many heartbreaking situations around me. “A friend’s father died suddenly yesterday. A relative lost her battle with Covid last week. Another loved one is prepared to meet Jesus as he struggles his own battle against Covid. So much heartbreak and loss... And here I am, nursing a tiny chicken. “And then I remembered these words of Jesus: ‘Aren’t two sparrows sold for a penny?

Not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s permission. Every hair on your head has been counted. Don’t be afraid! You are worth more than many sparrows. Matthew 10:29-31 GW’ “God cares for the sparrows, so it’s okay that I care for my chickens. But even more important, God cares for YOU. No matter what you’re facing. Big or small, life and death, exhaustion, depression, financial struggles, conflict, confusion, anger, grief... God cares. “Go to him. Call on him. You are worth so much more than my little chicken!”

Lack of farm connections hurts Recently a contact of mine forwarded a press release regarding Delta Waterfowl joining “three dozen conservation partners in signing a letter expressing opposition to a petition that, in effect, calls for elimination of the ability to transport legally harvested wild game across any state or international border. “The petition, submitted to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by the antihunting Center for Biological Diversity and the Natural Resources Defense Council, specifically seeks a ban on trade in wild mammals

and birds.” It’s an American issue of course, and hunting is not agriculture, so why is it mentioned here? Simply put, every time some group makes a run at restricting something regarding animals, it is often designed to be a tiny step toward much bigger efforts down the road. There are of course changes which have been called for that have made great sense; such as the move away from leg hold traps by hunters, the clubbing to death of seals and better regulations when transporting stock. But farmers need

Agriculture THIS WEEK

Calvin Daniels to be watchful to make sure lines are not blurred and crossed. There is an active effort stateside to end the slaughter of horses. One is left to wonder how many people want to feed horses until natural death after they have passed their usefulness? Of course there are

those calling for the end of many long held uses for horses too, in particular racing and equestrian jumping. One wonders where all the limitations might ultimately leave the horse? It might well mean some breeds would simply go extinct with no purpose remaining.

Others work to ban flying pigeons in competition, and the list grows. We know there are pressures on how chickens and pigs are raised, and cattle are fed in feedlots. In some cases changes are warranted, but for many lobbyists the only end they will be satisfied is with stock no longer raised. The concern has to be there, especially with the growing disconnect to farms. It wouldn’t be too difficult to find those in Saskatchewan cities who have not set foot on an active farm. In Vancouver, or Montreal, Toronto,

Winnipeg, or Edmonton it is likely a challenge to find people who have been on a farm. Yet in the big cities the masses carry a big voice backed by their votes. And those they are voting for likely have limited, if any connection, to farming, or hunting. How producers inform those people about their good practices and about what they do having merit, is increasingly a challenge, and meanwhile the agenda of those wanting hunting and livestock farming ended creeps ever forward.

Harvest 2021 wraps-up Harvest is practically complete in the province, with nearly all regions having 99 per cent of the crop in the bin. The five-year (20162020) average for harvest progress for this time of year is 79 per cent. Producers continue to do post-harvest work in the fields such as harrowing, weed control and preparing to or bringing livestock home. There have been reports that the dry soil conditions and recent cold temperatures have limited fertilizer and herbicide applications. East-Central Saskatchewan: · Crop District 5 – Melville, Yorkton, Cupar, Kamsack, Foam Lake, Preeceville and Kelvington areas · Crop District 6A – Lumsden, Craik, Watrous and Clavet areas Harvest has wrapped up early in the region allowing producers to complete some fall work as weather conditions allow. Fall weed control and fertilizer applications have been limited for some due to dry soil conditions and recent rising costs for crop input and pest control products. Crop yields vary in the region, with most of the yields reported to be below average with some producers yielding half of what they normally do. Yields varied depending on the amount of moisture received throughout the growing season and the severe dry conditions and hot temperatures resulted in a reduction in yields. Lack of fall moisture allowed

for early harvest completion as well as good crop quality in the region with the majority of crops falling within the top two grades. While dry harvest conditions this fall favoured harvest progress, producers have concerns about lack of topsoil and subsoil moisture. The dry field conditions affected crop, hay and pasture production in the region and there are several reports of dry dugouts, sloughs and creeks leaving many producers worried for next year. Livestock producers are starting to have trouble sourcing water for their cattle. Producers are in need of high amounts of precipitation to improve soil moisture conditions as well as replenish critical water sources that have dried out due to lack of rainfall this year. Heading into winter, cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 11 per cent adequate, 49 per cent short and 40 per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as nine per cent adequate, 40 per cent short and 51 per cent very short. Average hay yields on dry land are reported (in tons per acre) as: alfalfa 0.66; alfalfa/brome 0.72; other tame hay 0.45; wild hay 0.47; and greenfeed 1.06. At this time, some livestock producers have indicated that they will have inadequate to adequate hay, straw, greenfeed and feed grain heading into winter, but many do have concerns about shortages,

particularly of hay and greenfeed. Many producers will have to consider reducing their herd sizes in order to ensure enough feed supplies throughout the winter. Crop reporters have indicated that the acres seeded to winter cereals are below average this year due to the dry fall field conditions in the region and concerns with poor germination and establishment caused but the extreme lack of moisture in much of the region. Producers are busy hauling bales, cleaning up fields, working low spots and sloughs and moving livestock. Provincially, harvest weather was favourable throughout the fall, allowing producers to harvest without major delays from rain or waiting for crops to mature. The season-long drought and extreme temperatures caused crop yields to be much lower than average; however, most crops were reported to be within the top two quality grades. Several small rain storms in early-September meant most of the province experienced regrowth in pastures and fields. This regrowth

caused issues with harvest, especially in crops like canola. Producers had to apply herbicides or find other solutions in order to begin harvest. Crop yields varied throughout the province, depending heavily on the amount of moisture received throughout the season. Overall provincial yields are well below average, even areas that received timely rains reported below average yields. Yields were impacted by the extreme drought, heat stress, wind, hail and grasshoppers. Average yields are estimated as 30 bushel per acre for hard red spring wheat, 19 bushel per acre for durum, 49 bushel per acre for oats, 34 bushel per acre for barley, 21 bushel per acre for canola, 22 bushel per acre for peas and 870 pounds per acre for lentils. Moisture conditions remain a concern, with much of the province receiving minimal or below average rainfall this year along with hot temperatures and drying winds throughout the growing season.

All regions in the province reported that their topsoil moisture was short or very short for most of the season. Significant precipitation is needed this fall and winter to replenish moisture levels in the soil and dugouts. Heading into winter, topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as twelve per cent adequate, 43 per cent short and 45 per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as eight per cent adequate, 35 per cent short and 57 per cent very short. Average hay yields on dry land are reported as 0.79 tons per acre (alfalfa), 0.77 tons per acre (alfalfa/brome and wild hay), 0.55 tons per acre (other tame hay) and 1.13 tons per acre (greenfeed). On irrigated land, the estimated average hay yields are 2.2 tons per acre (alfalfa), 2.1 tons per acre (alfalfa/brome), 1.60 tons per acre (wild hay) and 1.9 tons per acre (greenfeed). Most of the hay going into winter is rated as poor to good in quality. At this time, most livestock producers indicated they will have inadequate to adequate supplies of hay, straw, greenfeed and feed grain heading into winter. Many areas in the province will have inadequate winter feed supplies and shortages are expected due to a poor first cut of hay and the inability to get a second cut. Due to the dry conditions this year, dugout, slough and well levels have been low and there

are concerns about livestock water supplies. Some producers were able to use crop residue and straw from their grain farming neighbours and use it as feed. The late rains allowed for some pastures to briefly green up and extend grazing for one or two more weeks. With drier than normal field conditions this fall, the number of acres seeded to winter cereals is below normal. In most areas, winter wheat acres are estimated to fall 17 per cent, while fall rye is estimated to fall twelve per cent. With harvest wrapping up in most regions, there was adequate time for seeding but there were concerns with poor germination and establishment of winter cereals prior to winter due to the extremely low topsoil moisture conditions. Producers were able to complete fall work such as fixing fences, moving cattle, hauling grain and bales, picking rocks, spraying weeds and working fields. Producers will continue to do this work until the temperature drops sharply or a big snowfall occurs. Even as harvest windsup in Saskatchewan, we want to remind producers to exercise caution and remain safe in their post-harvest operations.

Farmers in ‘dire straits’ over unfulfilled grain contracts By Nick Pearce Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (Saskatoon StarPhoenix) Unfulfilled grain contracts are pinching Saskatchewan farmers’ pocket books. Farmers losing grain revenue are in “dire straits” as they face penalties and administrative costs while attempting to leave contracts they have no hope of fulfilling, said Agricultural Producers Association vice president Bill Prybylski.

“Farmers are facing, in some cases, very significant financial penalties (for) contracts that — through no fault of their own — they’re not able to fulfill due to the unprecedented drought,” Prybylski said, adding that rising fertilize costs will only tighten the squeeze. Many farmers are wrapping up their harvest after a drought baked their fields. Eighty-nine per cent of the province’s crop is in the bin — far above the five-year aver-

age of 63 per cent for this time of year, last week’s crop report noted. “A lot of farmers simply don’t have the grain this year due to the drought and with no ‘Act of God’ clause in some of the contracts, prices have continued to climb and the cost to buy out those contracts is now substantially higher,” Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities president Ray Orb said in a prepared statement. He wants the

Western Grain Elevator Association (WGEA) to work with producers to reduce penalties and eliminate administration fees — which typically aim to prevent farmers from ducking out of a contract to capture a slightly higher price, a SARM statement said. Early in the season, optimistic farmers eyeing high prices forward sold their contracts; grain companies did the same in domestic and international markets, said Wade Sobkowich, execu-

tive director of WGEA. “The damage to the crop which occurred in late June and July has caused everyone to be short — farmers on contracts and grain companies on export commitments.” Grain companies see contracts as a competitive issue, so the WGEA can’t influence how they price producer buybacks, he said. Sobkowich said there’s some cases where farmers oversold their production levels, but others

where they oversold their “comfort level.” In those cases, the grain company will ask the farm to send as many tonnes as it can before determining if it’s short, he said. “If there is any notion that the current scenario is a windfall for grain companies, I can say with certainty that no company is interested in receiving a farmer payment in lieu of a delivery.” That may not be enough for NDP agriContinued on Page A16

MCLEOD - Genevieve was born July 9, 1933 to Olga (Marnovich) and Mike Marteniuk on the family farm near Calder, Saskatchewan. She joined older brother Paul and sister Anne, while their youngest brother, Tom, came along a couple years later. Genevieve attended the local Calder School. Her first job was at Monarch Lumber in Calder. Genevieve married Nick Tkachuk on October 12, 1952. Together they took over the family business, Tkachuk’s General Store, in Calder. On May 16, 1956, their son, Donald, was born. As a family they worked together running the store and expanding the business which served Calder and area. During the Summer, Gen and Nick enjoyed travelling around Canada and the US, while Don ran the store. Nick passed away in 1980. Genevieve moved to Yorkton, where she worked at the Yorkton Hotel and later Georgio’s Restaurant. On December 9, 1989, Genevieve married Allan McLeod. Together they enjoyed dancing, camping, travelling, bingo and garage sales. They resided in Welwyn, SK, and were especially thrilled when grandchildren, Blayze & Nevalea, came to stay during the Winter and Summer vacations. Fond memories include going to the Coffee Shop, playing cards, having wiener roasts, picking Nanking cherries, finding four leaf clovers, and helping in the garden. She became a resident of the Theodore Health centre in December, 2013 where she was a valued member. Staff and residents say she stood out due to her sunny disposition, warm persona, wealth of knowledge, and participation in the many programs offered. During this time, Allan passed away in December, 2017. Genevieve will be remembered as a delightful, pleasant and caring individual who was always concerned for the wellbeing of her family. She was quick with praise and gratitude and saw life as a gift for everyone to enjoy. Gen was a fabulous cook, always excited to prepare meals for family and friends. In her spare time, she loved to crochet doilies and afghan blankets. She loved being outdoors, especially during the mushroom picking seasons and, in her garden. Active in the communities she resided in, Gen was a member of Saints Peter and Paul’s Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Calder, the Calder Ladies Community Club, Trinity United Church in Welwyn, and Belles & Beaus in Welwyn. Left to cherish her memory are her son Don, daughter in law Nita, grandchildren Blayze and Nevalea, sister Anne Swerhun, as well as an extended family of cousins, nieces and nephews. Genevieve passed away peacefully in her sleep on October 2, 2021 in the Theodore Health Centre at eighty eight years old. The Funeral Service was held on Tuesday, October 5, 2021 from the Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Center with Rev. Father Rodion Luciuk as Celebrant. Responses were led by Bob Rohr. The cross bearer was Blayze Tkachuk. The interment followed in the Garden of Crucifixion. Memorial donations may be made to an Orthodox Church of ones’ choice, Theodore Health Centre Activity Department, MS Society, Heart & Stroke Foundation or Canadian Diabetes Association as gifts of remembrance.

Obituaries

MCDONALD – It is with heavy hearts we announce the unexpected passing of Jeanne Marie McDonald on the morning of Thursday, September 30, 2021 at the Pasqua Hospital in Regina at the age of 57 years. Jeanne was born on July 21, 1964 in Castelgar, BC to Gloria and Tyron Slubowski. Jeanne was a strong, devoted mother to three daughters: Rochelle Marie Mayne, Kristy-Lee Jean Abernethy and Ashley Rae Slubowski. Jeanne pursued a career as a Care Aide and worked at Columbia View Lodge in Trail, BC for 28 years. She was a compassionate soul who gave everything she could to those around her. Jeanne enjoyed the challenge of trying to help her fellow workers by joining the Hospital Employees Union. She also devoted her time to learn as much as she could and achieved her goal becoming shop steward for her region. In 1999 Jeanne met the love of her life, Blaine Clair McDonald. They were married on December 31, 2003 in an intimate ceremony in their home surrounded by family. In 2008 they moved to Saskatchewan and built a peaceful and fulfilling life with each other. Jeanne was predeceased by her mother Gloria Jean Slubowski and her grand-daughter Allyssa Jean Abernethy. She is survived by her husband Blaine McDonald; parents Tyrone and Mickey Slubowski; brother Raymond Slubowski; children Rochelle Mayne, Kristy and Shawn Abernethy, Ashley Slubowski and Jason McDonald; seven grandchildren Kateynn, Tavis, Jordan, Leanne, Elesha, Andrew and Bella. She also leaves her beloved pets Sheeba, Tucker, Reggie and Meow as well as many other loved family members and friends. A Visitation for family and friends was held in the Chapel of Bailey’s Funeral Home on Friday, October 8, 2021 and cremation to followed. The interment followed in the Yorkton City Cemetery.

The Canadian Ski Patrol seeks volunteers in area to help patrol local ski areas. Submitted Photos

Ski patrollers needed in region The Canadian Ski Patrol (CSP) is looking for volunteers to reestablish not one, but two operating patrols in the parkland region this season; an Alpine patrol at the Duck Mountain Ski Area and a Nordic patrol in the Yorkton/Kamsack district. To help attract interest the CSP is holding a virtual membership open house Wednesday, Oct. 13 starting at 7:00 p.m. Register in advance by emailing joinus.sask@ skipatrol.ca For more information, visit our website at www.sask.skipatrol.ca Every day, all year long, members of the Canadian Ski Patrol provide expert first-aid to the injured, they prevent injury through the promotion of safe skiing and riding, and they save lives. In return for their winter weekends, we equip our volunteers to save lives with one of the finest first-aid courses in the world. Members must be 18 years of age or older, and

ski or snowboard at an intermediate or better level. All other training will be provided by the Patrol. The CSP’s new patroller training program is going to start in Kamsack in October and be wrapped up in time for our new members to join us on the slopes as soon as the ski area opens for the season. If you want to do something different this winter, feel good about helping people and make a lot of friends while you’re doing it, then join us to

learn more. Each year, close to 4,200 volunteer members of the CSP provide their services to skiers and snowboarders at areas all across Canada – free of charge. In Saskatchewan, about 100 members of the CSP provide services at five ski areas during the winter as well as a number of non-skiing events during the summer. CSP members have a love of skiing and a desire to help others. The skills they develop will be put to use providing services

at ski areas and events and perhaps right in your communities.

FARMERS Continued from Page A13. culture critic Trent Wotherspoon, who has called on the province to pass emergency legislation allowing farmers to carry over their obligations to future years without incurring “unreasonable penalties.” He also wants an independent grain contract arbitration board, with farmers comprising at least 75 per cent of its members, to resolve grain contract disputes, he said.

Agriculture Minister David Marit wrote in a prepared statement that the province is contacting major grain companies to discuss the seriousness of the drought, asking them to be “lenient with producers and (to) consider scaling back their administration fees and penalties.” We won’t be overreacting with wholesale changes to how our producers market their grain in this province,” he said.
