With two wins on the weekend the Terriers finished sixth overall in the SJHL, and now play Melfort in the opening round of the playoffs.
Terriers face Mustangs in playoffs By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Terriers will face the Melfort Mustangs in the opening round of the SJHL playoffs.
The Terriers finished the regular season with a record of 29-22-1-6 for 65 points, second best in the Viterra Division well back of Estevan with 91, to sit sixth overall in the SJHL, but still a season that Terrier
GM and head coach Mat Hehr is satisfied with. “When we started we didn’t know what to expect,” he said, adding the feeling going in was that “it was sort of a rebuilding year.”
But the team jelled quickly. “I think the team really surprised from what we had envisioned,” said Hehr. It helped when they added veteran Zack McIntyre who ended his overall season with
20 goals and 40 points, noted Hehr. And the play of rookie Kael DePape in net was huge. “He’s been standing on his

Yorkton man wins $20M By Larissa Kurz SaskToday REGINA — When Yorkton resident Ernie Anuik headed out for a regular trip to the store to check his lottery tickets, he did not expect to see the celebratory message on the kiosk that he received. Anuik is the most recent Lotto Max jackpot winner, collecting a prize of a whopping $20 million from the Feb. 15 draw. Sask Lotteries had advised that this jackpot’s winning ticket had been purchased somewhere in the province outside of Saskatoon or Regina, but
Ernie Anuik, right, accepts his $20 million cheque from Sask Lotteries. Anuik said he didn’t presume that ticket may be his. “I have always been an
optimistic individual, but that doesn’t mean I was waiting for this type of thing,” said Anuik.
Anuik, a now retired public servant, said that he scanned his winning ticket three times at the self-check kiosk in the local Shoppers Drug Mart, where he also purchased the ticket, not processing how much it was telling him he’d won. “It was kind of a surreal moment,” said Anuik. “It said, ‘it appears you have won,’ and then a two and then lots of zeros.” He then called over his son, Jason, to check the ticket as well before heading to the store clerk to validate the win. Anuik said he still hasn’t quite wrapped his head around
exactly how much money he’s won, but that the moment was — and remains — very exciting. “I only phoned my four sons [afterwards] and I think they thought I was pulling their leg, trying to get a rise out of them, but eventually it sunk in,” said Anuik. As a fundraising entity, Sask Lotteries supports approximately 12,000 sports, culture and recreation programs across the province. Anuik said he’s been an avid lottery ticket purchaser for decades, and that he remembers his sons using some of the sport

$20 MILLION Continued from Page A1 programs supported by Sask Lotteries when they were kids. “Over the years, I’ve bought lots of tickets because Sask Lotteries supports our kids,” said Anuik. “[My sons] were in various sports, such as swimming and kayaking, and I always looked at it as giving back.”
He has previously won on lottery tickets before, including a win with coworkers in Moose Jaw that lauded him $80 and $6,800 on a Western Max ticket in 2011 — but nothing quite like his jackpot today. Anuik said he has no concrete plans for his winnings as of yet, but that he’s talking to
a financial planner to decide things for the future. “I think if it had happened 20 years ago or whatever, it would have been a totally different story,” laughed Anuik. Saskatchewan has been home to several big lottery winners in the past several months, including a $55 million
win in Saskatoon in October and another $50 million win in Saskatoon in January. But the amount that Anuik has won is certainly top of the pack, falling in as the sixth largest amount won by a Saskatchewan resident via lottery. Sask Lotteries said that the odds of winning
this jackpot were one in 33 million, after it was held over three times waiting for a winning ticket. Vice chair of lotteries Michael Rogers said that although Saskatchewan may appear to be on a hot streak, winning the lottery remains the same game of chance as it has always been.
He said that although it seems residents are buying more lottery tickets in the past year, that influx won’t change the odds of each jackpot. “The odds are the same, whatever they may be with each new draw,” said Rogers. “But we’ll enjoy it, as we proceed as a province, and go from there.”

The Terriers top goal scorer was Kishaun Gervais with 22, tied for 18th among SJHL shooters, and no Terriers was in the top-20 for assists. Nolan Doeell scored 29 goals and 60 points to lead Melfort. On defence the Terriers allowed 162 which was fourth best in the league, led by Kael
DePape in net. He played in 43 games and record a 2.32 goals against average, fourth best in the league, His save percentage of .915 was sixth best. By comparison Melfort allowed 165 as a team fifth best in the league. The Mustangs had two goalies in the top-10 in the SJHL, Joel Favreau
sixth best in GAA at 2.74 in 26 games, and James Venne seventh at 2.76 in 33 games. The two netminders had a save percentage of .902 and .898. The playoffs will start with two games in Melfort, expected over the weekend, before switching to the Westland Insurance Arena for games three and four.
TERRIERS Continued from Page A1 head,” offered Hehr. “Every time he’s in net he gives us a chance to win.” The Terriers are somewhat ‘big games’ tested at this point, having fought hard to win seven of their last eight games to finish sixth overall, and not have to face the league’s top team Estevan or Humboldt in the open-
ing round. Both teams eclipsed 90 points this season. So how do the two teams stack up against each other? The Mustangs finished first in the Sherwood Division with a record of 34-15-4-5 for 77 points, third overall. Offensively the Terriers scored 178 goals,
Saskatchewan launches new pathway under the Saskatchewan immigrant nominee program The Government of Saskatchewan announced the new Tech Talent Pathway under the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) to attract highly skilled technology professionals into the province. The Tech Talent Pathway will support Saskatchewan’s thriving tech sector by easing critical labour shortages. The SINP is known around the world and is the leading immigration program for those relocat-
ing to Saskatchewan. Employers in Saskatchewan’s technology and innovation sectors will be able to attract more highly skilled talent to support expansion of this sector and increase Saskatchewan’s global competitiveness. “As Saskatchewan emerges from the impacts of the global pandemic, our technology sector will be an important driver of economic growth,” Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy

Grinders’ goalie celebrates 80th birthday By Tyson Off Staff Writer John Garbutt, goalie for the Yorkton Grinders Old Timers hockey in Yorkton, celebrated his 80th birthday on March 1st and hit the ice the next day. “I started skating in about 1950,” said Garbutt, adding, “the first time I put on goal pads was about 1957.” Garbutt, who grew up in Hanna, Alberta, said he has been playing hockey since he was 16. “When I first started playing hockey I played forward,” noting, “I could skate with anyone, but I was never too confident with the puck.” Garbutt said he discovered he had a knack for goaltending, stating that he could move laterally really well. “I probably realized that I had a real talent for the position too late in life,” said Garbutt, adding, “I’m quite sure I would have done better if I had some decent coaching and encouragement.” Garbutt said he has played for multiple clubs over the past 64 years.
“In 1958 to ’59, I was playing in the Highway 9 League,” noting the league was juvenile, equivalent to Jr. B. “In ’59 to ’60 I went to a town called Nanton, south of Calgary.” In Nanton, Garbutt spent two years playing for the Foothills Hockey League. From there he would move to Calgary where he would play for the Calgary Varsities in the Bill Powers Media League, eventually moving on to play in the Alberta Summer Hockey League. “In the late 70’s, throughout the mid-80s, I played in the ASHL,” said Garbutt, adding, “a lot of the Western Hockey League players played in that league to stay in shape [during their off season].” The league was essentially a drop-in of sorts where anyone could show up and play, even the pros. “Al MacInnis showed up, I think it was 1986; he had the hardest shot in hockey at that time.” MacInnis played for the Calgary Flames at the time and would later go on to win a Stanley Cup with them in the
John Garbutt, of Yorkton Grinders hockey, turned 80 on March 1st. 1988-1989 season. Garbutt recalled facing MacInnis. “He had quite a few shots and I managed to get in front of quite a few of them,” said Garbutt, adding, “It was scary, and it was also a thrill.” Garbutt would go on to play in the ASHL for thirteen years before moving to Saskatchewan.
“In the year 2000, the wife and I moved to her family farm near Bangor,” said Garbutt. In 2007, Garbutt started playing for the Grinders. Now, in his 15th year with the team, Garbutt is unsure if he will continue. “I don’t know whether I’ll play after this season or not,” said Garbutt,
adding that even once he’s hung up his pads, he’ll still come out and skate for the exercise. In April, Garbutt will attend the Estevan Strippers Annual Tournament with the Grinders, where he thinks he’ll be the oldest goaltender. “The tournament has been running for about
35 years,” said Garbutt, noting, “To my knowledge, the oldest goaltender [from past events] was 78.” Garbutt still finds time to watch hockey in his spare time. He said he cheers for Canadian teams with no particular favourite and also possess season tickets to the Yorkton Terriers.

International Day for Elimination of Racial Discrimination upcoming By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer March 21 is designated by the United Nations (UN) as the International Day for Elimination of Racial Discrimination, explained Darlene Stakiw, on behalf of the Multicultural Council of Saskatchewan at the regular meeting of Yorkton Council Monday. Stakiw said it is “a day observed all around the world to focus attention on the problems of racism and the need to promote racial harmony. The UN made this designation in 1966 to mark a tragic event that took place in 1960 in Sharpeville, South Africa when 69 people lost their lives and 180 others were injured when the police fired on a crowd of peaceful demonstrators who were challenging laws that restricted black South Africans’ movements under apartheid.” Canada was one of the first countries to support the UN initiative and launched its first annual
campaign against racial discrimination in 1989. “In Saskatchewan, this remains the day when we join with nations around the world to promote a society which is free from all forms of racism,” said Stakiw. Stakiw said it is important we realize we need to be accepting of others. “We are one human family. These words occur in both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and The Saskatchewan Human Rights Code. There is much diversity in this family and from that diversity we draw great strength. Every member of this family deserves equal consideration. The
Multicultural Council of Saskatchewan is coordinating efforts throughout the province to recognize and reject racism,” she said. Locally the Multicultural Council is offering an educational opportunity using the book Hanna’s Suitcase by Karen Levine, with two ‘Book Clubs in a Bag’ available at Yorkton Public Library. Through the book, readers “learn of Hanna’s loving parents and older brother, George, and discover how the family’s happy life in a small town was turned upside down by the invasion of the Nazis.

Perspective Time to get serious about addressing a crisis

Politics The problem with the ever-so-serious business of governance is that far too many see it as less of a priority than the fun and games of politics. Governing is serious business, often requiring tough choices. Politics? Well there’s a reason why they call it “playing” politics. As we emerge from this two-year pandemic into a war in Europe with devastating human and economic consequences, there seems little time for games. Sadly, history might yet compare this period we are now in to the one more than 80 years ago when we were emerging from a global depression into a world war. Thankfully, we aren’t at the crisis level yet. Hopefully, this isn’t where we are headed. Hopefully, things will be resolved long before we get there. But as it stands right now, the political games we get to play when things are going well in society aren’t really a good option for us right now. Right now, it’s about getting down and dealing with some serious issues. The good news is that opening days of the spring sitting — one that took a different, more sober tone — suggests we do have a least some capacity to recognize serious issues and take a serious approach when it comes to dealing with them. On the first day of the spring sitting, each MLA had a blue and yellow Ukrainian flag on their desk — a bold reminder that there are serious matters elsewhere in the world that are beginning to hit pretty close to home. Saskatchewan MLAs immediately went into an emergency debate on the Russian situation that produced a rare unanimous vote of condemnation. Maybe it was little more than a gesture from a small province no more meaningful or effective than pulling Russian vodka from liquor store shelves or offering a rather paltry $100,000 for humanitarian aid to Ukraine. But it’s thousands of such small gestures from all around the world that hold up hope for a quick and peaceful end to this crisis through a combination of economic sanctions and condemnations. Also, it’s no small deal that Saskatchewan is committing to bringing in “thousands” of Ukrainian refuges regardless of their skill sets or economic status. “We think it all adds up to the fact we take very, very large numbers of refugees right now,” said Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison. Similarly, credit the Saskatchewan Party government and Premier Scott Moe for offering some serious thoughts on how this struggle is already affecting Saskatchewan residents. Noting the dramatic rise in pump prices, NDP economy critic Trent Wotherspoon proposed the government lift the province’s 15-centa-litre gasoline tax as Alberta is now doing. The gas tax is providing $478 million to Saskatchewan government coffers this year. It was an odd position for the Saskatchewan NDP to take and not just because it was siding with Alberta conservatives. This is an opposition that has criticized the Sask. Party administration for deficit budgeting and debt. It’s also complained about not enough money for health and social programs. And the NDP hasn’t exactly been shy about supporting some form of carbon tax as a means of discouraging fossil fuel use. To Moe’s credit, he made the point that revenue is needed to address problems. And he further made the point that the world needs secure energy supplies from places like Saskatchewan so we don’t have to rely on Russia. It was a serious response to one of many serious problems. We don’t always get that in a world where politicians see politics as a game. This was the problem with the trucker convey and border blockades — people who thought they had serious issues about their “freedoms” being infringed upon. Right now, there seems little time for such games. Murray Mandryk has been covering provincial politics since 1983.

Don't forget the arts are recreation T
here are times the arts get shuffled rather far down the deck in terms of what they provide to a community. Being a safe city always rates highly when people are questioned about what they want in a community. You can say the same thing regarding access to the adequate health care, although what people see as adequate is likely to differ considerably based on age and other factors. And, certainly good recreational opportunities are on many lists. While recreation is actually a manyfaceted area, for many its focus is on the sports side of things. If you look at recent presentations and debates at Yorkton Council, you see sports is a much-visited topic. The two primary debates have been about the city undertaking two major projects related to sports. The first relates to Deer Park Golf Course. After literally years of talking about the need for a new clubhouse at Deer Park the city is finally moving ahead with the project to build a new facility. At a regular meeting of Yorkton Council in February they voted to proceed with the project with an overall cost of $7.6 million. Next up, with a decision pending at some point in the coming weeks, or months, is how to deal with issues at the aging Kinsmen Arena. Council may choose to spend some millions to address the facility’s short-
comings for a few more years, trying to squeeze another 10-15 years out of an already old structure, or they could invest more millions and build a new facility attached to the Gallagher Centre. The latter option is less palatable financially, but the result is a new building, with some interesting synergies created as part of the larger Gallagher Centre complex. And then there have been public requests for a pump bike track, an additional football field – this one cityowned, and an indoor basketball facility. But, there is another side to recreation, one that attracts those who are not necessarily avid athletes. The arts, and all it entails are important to recreation too. If you doubt that people locally appreciate the art, check out the story in this edition on the report from the Godfrey Dean Gallery presented recently to Council. The Gallery is an active centre not just for the viewing of art installations, but of learning art through its outreach programming. Much like the gallery the Yorkton Public Library also fills an important recreational niche in the city, one tied obviously to the literary arts. Since recreation is not limited to sports, it is important the city maintain some level of funding balance to ensure the services of entities such as the gallery and library are maintained and grown.

With the right opportunities, Saskatchewan students will excel By Patrick Maze, Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation President In a world of immense unpredictability, teachers have innovated, pivoted and done all they can to ensure Saskatchewan’s students receive the best education possible. COVID-19 has demonstrated the value of schools in a completely new way. Education is one of society’s most important investments because everything from engaged citizens to a strong economy is built on a solid educational foundation. As we move forward, a critical decision now faces us: how can Saskatchewan build
and maintain a worldclass public education system that sets every Saskatchewan student up to reach their potential? Saskatchewan possesses an exceptionally high-quality public education system because our teachers are some of the most educated, well-trained and dedicated professionals you will find. Today’s teachers have access to far more information about how students learn and are more responsive to the broad range of learning styles and needs they arrive with at school each day. Because of that knowledge, teachers in Saskatchewan are far more aware of and
impacted by classroom complexity. Educators use the term class complexity to describe the array of needs present in a given classroom. These often include learning, behavioural, cultural, language and accommodation needs. The spectrum of student needs ranges from those requiring intensive support to gifted students, all of which requires the teacher to construct an experience that is challenging, rewarding and enriching while also meeting provincial standards for curricular outcomes. In 2021, 78 percent of Saskatchewan teachers reported that the com-
plexity of their classroom has increased over the previous two years. All of this is compounded exponentially as many classes throughout the province get larger and larger. In 2021, a Saskatchewan teacher stated: “Class size and composition are more demanding. How do you meet individual needs when you have 30 students with varying abilities, behaviours and emotional needs?” Class complexity was a growing issue before the pandemic and has been pushed to the forefront by the pandemic. Neither schools nor teachers are meant to be simple “conveyors of information.” Each of
us spends a huge number of our waking hours from early childhood to early adulthood at school, meaning that PreK- 12 education plays a substantial role in shaping our future. Given this responsibility, all schools need specialized professionals such as those who teach English as an additional language, speechlanguage pathologists, counsellors, social workers, education psychologists and therapists who ensure that each student’s right to a quality public education can be properly fulfilled. Unfortunately, in few Saskatchewan, school divisions have the necessary funding
to ensure these types of professionals are readily or consistently available. The cause of this is simple: over the last decade, PreK-12 education funding has rarely kept up with new enrolments, inflation or student need – and this underfunding compounds over time. In 2021, only 14 percent of Saskatchewan teachers reported that specialized professionals were available when needed – four of every five Saskatchewan students had no access to specialized professionals. As a result, many students find themselves having to wait months to access the professional support they need.
Yorkton to receive $150,000 from Green Municipal Fund By Tyson Off Staff Writer Recently, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and the Government of Canada announced funding for the city through the Green Municipal Fund during a virtual conference. “The fund provides grants and loans for municipal projects that mobilize local action, leverage community resources, and drive innovation for solutions,” said Dan Vandal, MP for Saint-Boniface-Saint Vital, and Minister responsible for Prairies Economic Development Canada. “I’m very pleased to announce $150,000 from the GMF for the city of Yorkton as it studies upgrades to its water treatment plant,” said Vandal. Mayor Mitch Hippsley attended the virtual conference and expressed his thanks to the FCM and federal government for their consideration. “This is just perfect timing to get the proper,
professional consulting to look after us so that we head down the right road,” said mayor Hippsley of the funding. “The city of Yorkton has been carefully maintaining its water and its affluent treatment, but we recognize that the rules and objectives keep on becoming more stringent, as [they] should,” said Hippsley. “With growing interest of ag based businesses that we are bringing to our city, we continue to attract water-bearing type industries to invest here, and it creates more demand on the responsibility for our affluent management. So, this is perfect timing [for the funding],” said Hippsley, adding, “the GMF will be of major help as we prosper with industry.” The GMF aims to combat climate change on a local level through the study and funding of sustainable renewable energy. “Across the north and throughout the prairies, we’ve witnessed the impacts of climate change through drought,
wildfires, melting permafrost, coastal erosion, and record temperatures; that’s why we must all work together to fight climate change and to grow our economy,” said Vandal, adding, “climate change is one of those things that is measured globally, but it’s really felt locally - in our communities where we live, where we work, and where we play. That’s at the local level in our cities and in our towns where we can make a real difference.” “This program is about building resilient communities that are environmentally, economically, and socially vibrant,” said Taneen Rudyk, First VP for the FCM. “In Saskatchewan, GMF has funded about 47 projects that are now completed; projects that have contributed 14.9M dollars to the economy and created 159 jobs,” said Rudyk, adding, “these investments through the GMF will help build cleaner, healthier communities. This is possible when
Public engagement on virtual care The Government of Saskatchewan is seeking feedback from patients and health care providers on their experiences with virtual care. Saskatchewan quickly adopted new methods to safely connect patients to their doctor or another health care provider two years ago without stepping out their door, through virtual care. “Saskatchewan patients have now had millions of virtual medical appointments to directly connect with their health care providers during the pandemic,” Health Minister Paul Merriman said. “Virtual care can be as simple as a telephone call, text or email but can also be a video visit with a member of your health care team. “We want to hear what both patients and health care workers have to say about their experience. And if you haven’t used virtual care, we’d like to
hear about that too. I encourage everyone to participate as we work to shape the future of virtual care.” The information gathered will be used to develop a long-term provincial strategy around virtual care. The province is also seeking input from health system partners and other affected organizations on their experience using virtual care over the last two years. Please visit virtualcare.saskatchewan.ca to participate. There are several ways to provide input, such as voting in polls, completing a survey, and sharing a story or idea. Participation opportunities will be open until April 30, 2022. If you require an alternate method of participation, please contact us at 306-787-6750 or email us at virtualcare@ health.gov.sk.ca.

municipalities and the federal government work together to develop innovative solutions to reduce pollution.” “Municipalities own 60 per cent of the country’s public infrastructure, and we influence over half of all green house gas emissions. That means local action is critical, and local action is happening,” said Rudyk. Yorkton wasn’t the only municipality to receive funding. North Battleford and Oxbow were also recipients. “By putting this new system in place it’s done a number of things for our community,” said Doug Pierce, mayor of Oxbow, on upgrades made to the municipalities’ lagoon system. “We took a lot of years to decide which direction we were going to go with it. The system we chose was the most cost effective and probably the best thing for our community as far as the user pay and the ability to grow our town without putting it on the backs of our rate payers,” said Pierce. North Battleford received $175,000 to study ways to reduce energy consumption at its municipal facilities. “We were able to use
this funding to hire experts to come into our facilities and do an immediate review of the facilities to understand what we’re currently doing in these facilities,” said David Gillan, mayor of North Battleford. “We’ve already received the report; there is some zero cost initiatives, meaning, initiatives we could take on right now and have already taken on to reduce energy, things like air handlers and mechanical systems,” said Gillan, adding, “there is some capital initiatives that the city is currently looking at, namely solar panels on all five facilities, as well as the potential for production of energy through biomass. We do happen to have, in the northwest here, quite a bit of input for biomass
energy production, namely wood chips as well as oat hulls.” “As far as the investment in solar panels and biomass, we’re still in the process of analyzing that, but there is significance when you’re talking about just the solar panels alone, I think it’s in the neighbourhood of 20% savings just on electricity per year. With approximately a 15-year simple pay back,” said Gillan. “As a municipality, we’re very interested in moving towards the green initiative energy productions methods and reducing the dependence on non-renewable energy,” said Gillan, noting, “it provided us with a shovel ready engineering report to apply for the capital grants for our solar panels.”

SIGN working with Youth Resilience Project By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yorkton council was provided a report Monday on Youth Resilience Project which is an ongoing SIGN initiative. “All children and youth need to be surrounded with networks of individuals and institutions that provide them with support, opportunities, bound-
aries and structure, and nurture in them the commitments, values, competencies, and positive identity they need to grow up healthy and competent,” explained Darran Teneycke, a community skills worker with SIGN, adding funding is through the Morris Foundation. Teneycke said the YRP has four objectives; • Cultivate Community Readiness, Energy &
Commitment • Positive Youth Development • Risk Reduction • Effective Treatment & Support for Youth with Greater Needs In conjunction with the four objectives they’re organizing 40 key developmental assets. “The choices youth make and the way they live their lives, including doing their best in school, staying healthy and safe,
are strongly linked with what researchers call Developmental Assets,” said Teneycke. Grouped into eight categories, the assets are positive qualities, skills, characteristics, and experiences all young people need. In terms of the project to-date Teneycke said “All schools in Yorkton are supporting the project. “I have a commit-
ment from 17 Community Based Organizations or Ministry Departments to be part of Yorkton’s Alliance of Asset Champions.” In addition, he has commitment from the City RCMP to be involved with Positive Ticketing. “I have provided a number of workshops to various schools and community-based organizations called Everyone’s An Asset Builder,” said
Teneycke. Upcoming, Teneycke said he will do a survey called the Developmental Asset Profile in the spring with all youth in grades 6-12 to see where they have assets and where they are lacking. Youth will be involved. “I plan on creating Youth Committees, so youth can have a voice in addressing the results of the survey,” said Teneycke.
SGI customers to receive $100 rebate per vehicle This spring, SGI customers will receive a $100 dollar rebate for each vehicle they had registered as of March 9, 2022. Everyone who registers a vehicle pays into the Auto Fund, Saskatchewan’s selfsustaining, not-for-profit basic vehicle insurance program. The Auto Fund does not take or receive money
from the Government of Saskatchewan. The Auto Fund has a Rate Stabilization Reserve (RSR) that acts as a “rainy day” fund to cushion customers from sudden increases in their vehicle insurance. “Our government is pleased to deliver this benefit back to the people of Saskatchewan,” Minister Responsible for SGI Don Morgan said.
“The Rate Stabilization Reserve has a surplus that was largely generated by its well-performing investment portfolio. We believe it’s fair that all Auto Fund customers benefit equally, regardless of how long their vehicle was registered or the premium they pay for that vehicle. All drivers are facing higher fuel costs, regardless of what they’re driving.”
Online training program upcoming The Ministry of Justice, Attorney General, and the Status of Women Office are partnering with the Provincial Association of Transition Houses and Services of Saskatchewan (PATHS) to develop an online course to educate employers and staff on how to support colleagues experiencing interpersonal violence outside of the workplace. “Investing in the development of online modules to educate the workforce on the complexities of interpersonal violence and abuse is a key step in prevention,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant said. “Educating employees and building awareness helps to ensure the health and safety of everyone in the workplace.” Together, the Ministry
of Justice, Attorney General and the Status of Women Office have invested $59,000 to move the training online. “Enhancing initiatives that address interpersonal violence and abuse is important work,” Minister Responsible for the Status of Women Office Laura Ross said. “PATHS is leading the way on this initiative and I am pleased that the Status of Women Office has been able to support their efforts.” The Effective Workplace Response to Interpersonal Violence training module will focus on how people experiencing interpersonal violence can be impacted and how employers and co-workers can offer support. The course outlines how to recognize the signs of abusive relationships,
how to respond to colleagues experiencing interpersonal violence and abuse, and how to refer victims to community support networks, all in an effort to improve workplace health and safety. “The workplace can be a place of safety and support for individuals experiencing intimate partner violence if employers and co-workers know how to have effective conversations, and supportive policies are in place,” PATHS Executive Director Jo-Anne Dusel said. “This course will provide information and concrete tools for workplaces to reduce the harmful impacts of abuse on survivors and contribute to workplace safety.” The course is anticipated to launch online in the fall 2022.
22033BS1
Rebates of $100 will be provided to the owner of each vehicle or motorcycle that was registered as of March 9, 2 022. All classes of vehicle (private, commercial, farm etc.) are eligible. Trailers and snowmobiles are not. Initial estimates put the total cost of the rebates at approximately $95 million dollars. Rebates will be issued to the person or entity listed as the registered owner. Customers who had multiple vehicles or motorcycles registered as of March 9, 2022, will receive rebates for all
vehicles combined into one cheque. Over the next number of weeks, SGI will prepare more than 700,000 rebate cheques.
Customers are encouraged to ensure their mailing address is up to date with SGI before mailout occurs later this spring at a date to be determined.

Council approves street name By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer A new development is planned for the west side of the city, and with it a new road with a new name. “Jim Pattison Developments Ltd., as the of owner of lands east of Pattison Agriculture, is proposing to subdivide and sell a five-acre parcel for future commercial development site. The subdivision will include extension of City water and drainage infrastructure, and construction of a new public street, extending east from the roundabout intersecting Fechner Road,” Michael Eger - Director of Planning, Building & Development, with the City told the regular meeting of Yorkton Council Monday. Pursuant to Bylaw No. 26/2001, Administration has
delegated authority to approve the subdivision, as it only creates two new parcels, explained Eger. However, the new subdivision proposes a new street and the naming of streets requires Council approval as per our Naming of Civic Property and Development Areas Policy. “Where the City is evaluating and approving private land developments such as this, it has been customary to invite the Developer to provide their own naming suggestions, as is common practice throughout many western Canadian municipalities,” explained Eger. “In this instance, the Developer proposes the name “Harvest Way” for the new street. The name pays homage to the neighbouring businesses, to Yorkton’s historical and ongoing connection with
agriculture, and more specifically, to this land’s previous use as crop land.” All of the infrastructure for this subdivision, including the new street, street lighting and street signs, will be constructed by the Developer at their sole cost. After the warranty period (minimum one year) and after all deficiencies are corrected, the City will assume ownership and ongoing maintenance of the street and related infrastructure. While noting the proposed name is not consistent with the names of neighbouring local streets, specifically Novak Road and Fitchner Road, which seem to have been named after former Yorkton Mayors, Eger said it was administration’s recommendation Harvest Way be approved, which Council did with a unanimous vote.
Indigenous advisory committee at GSSD Tyson Off Staff Writer The Good Spirit School Division has received a $5000 grant from the provincial government to support truth and reconciliation education in the province. “The Government of Saskatchewan is providing approximately
$140,000 in grants to advance truth and reconciliation education in the province,” according to a press release from the Ministry of Education. Yorkton This Week spoke with Quinton Robertson, Director of Education for the GSSD. “It will impact all of our schools,” said Robertson of the grant.
Robertson said that, moving forward, the school division will start an indigenous advisory committee with representatives from first nations in the area for the purpose of guiding the GSSD along the path of reconciliation; making sure things are culturally appropriate and that the school division hears
ideas and concerns from the committee. “Nothing about them, without them,” said Robertson. “Ultimately, down the road, we’d like to have an individual from the advisory committee sitting on our board,” said Robertson, adding, “we want something long lasting.”
Robertson said the first meeting will be held on the 17th of March, adding that the GSSD will meet with the committee five or six times a year. “The first thing we want to bring past the committee is treaty recognition,” said Robertson. “Each of the 27 provincial school divisions, one
partnership school and one qualified independent school will receive up to $5,000 in funding to collaborate with local Indigenous communities and organizations in order to plan and implement actions that support reconciliation throughout the 2021-22 school year,” as noted in the press release.
Spring weight restrictions begin This is the time of year when truckers and shippers must begin reducing loads on secondary highways in Saskatchewan. All secondary highways return to regulation weights, which will help prevent damage to these roads this spring. “At various times of the year, weight restrictions are put in place on some highways as a measure to prevent damage to the surface and roadbeds,” Highways Minister Fred
Bradshaw said. “As the warmer weather rolls in, some roads can become susceptible to soft spots and surface cracks.” During the coldest months of December, January and February, roadbeds freeze and become stronger, and subsequently supports heavier truck loads. When the mild temperatures arrive, winter weights are removed. Effective at 12:01 a.m., Tuesday, March 15, any existing winter weights will be
removed and revert to regulation weight.
2022 Spring Road Bans Spring road restrictions are used by the province and rural municipalities (RM) to mitigate damage to infrastructure. Typically, these road restrictions start in March in the southwest and move in an east and northern direction. These restrictions remain in place for approximately six weeks or 42 days.
22033BS4 22033BS5
The road bans reduce allowable weights on RM roads and secondary weight provincial highways by 10 to 15 per cent and typically last about six weeks.
Nine Month Primary Weights Saskatchewan is unique because of its nine-month primary weight highways. As a large province with considerable difference in climate in the north and the south, there are different dates for when
nine-month primary weights are in effect. In the north of the province, the annual weight increase on the nine-month primary highways is from July 1 to March 31 of the following year. In the south of the province, the annual weight increase on the nine-month primary highways will occur earlier, from June 15 to March 15 of the following year. This helps sustain road conditions in the south, where spring thaw occurs earlier.

Office of Residential Tenancies launches new online public access The Office of Residential Tenancies (ORT) has launched an online public access portal for landlords and tenants. The new portal will provide landlords and tenants with the ability to create notices, file applications online and upload evidence, photos and other documents related to ORT applications from the convenience of a com-
puter or mobile device. Clients can log into the online portal using their Saskatchewan Account at www.saskatchewan. ca/ort. “The new system will allow ORT staff to respond to claims faster and better manage claims from beginning to end, improving access to justice and reducing paper usage,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant
said. “Landlords and tenants will now have
24-hour access to complete notices, file appli-
cations online, upload evidence and track the progress of their dispute.” The ORT provides information and services to landlords and tenants to help them work toward the early resolution of disputes. The ORT also adjudicates disputes between landlords and tenants where necessary. The office has eight hearing officers and four Deputy
Directors who hear approximately 6,000 applications annually. The ORT saw over 150,000 inquiries via email and phone in 2020-21 and accepted 3,969 applications from tenants and landlords. Applications typically involve disputes over security deposits, overdue or unpaid rent, damages to property, and abandoned personal property.

Terriers grab needed weekend wins By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer A make-up game Sunday as the final regular season contest for the Yorkton Terriers still mattered in terms of Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League playoff match-ups. The Terriers needed a point for a better seeding for the opening round as the Weyburn Red Wings arrived at the Westland Insurance Arena. A point meaning, they would not have to face Humboldt with the second best record in the SJHL’s first round. The first period saw a powerplay effort by Zach McIntyre at 9:10 giving the Terriers a 1-0 lead. Kirk Mullen tied the game with a goal at 13:06. The tie held until 13:33 of the second
period when the Red Wings inched ahead 2-1 via a powerplay goal by Matthew Reidy. In the third the Terriers went hard after the point they needed in the standings. Tyson Janzen tied the score at 3:43, with Colby Varna putting the home team up a goal with a marker 27 seconds later. An unassisted marker by Erik Boers followed at 6:49 and Boers was back to round out a 5-2 win with a powerplay goal at 11:28. Kael DePape was in net for Yorkton facing 23 shots in the win, with Dazza Mitchell for the Red Wings taking the loss facing 38 shots. Terrier head coach Mat Hehr said he wasn’t sure why the Terriers came out rather flat in the game.
“I don’t know what happened. It was a very slow start,” he said, but added in the third they dominated for the win. “It was a very strong 20.” The Terriers finish the regular season with a record of 29-22-1-6 for 65 points, second best in the Viterra Division well back of Estevan with 91, and sit sixth overall in the SJHL. Melville was third in the Viterra with 44 points, and Weyburn fourth with a league-worst 31 points, both missing the playoffs. The Terriers will now face Melfort in the first round of the SJHL playoffs.
Saturday win After the first period Saturday at the Westland Insurance Arena the Terriers trailed Notre Dame 1-0 after the Hounds Will Dawson scored with only 18 seconds left in the frame.
The Terriers started fast in the second period as Clay Sleeva at 2:23, Tanner Sklaruk at 7:27, and Tyson Janzen scored to give the home side a 3-1 lead. Kevin Anderson cut the lead to one as he scored for Notre Dame at 13:23 making it a 3-2 contest. Twenty-two seconds after the Hounds scored Sklaruk notched his second of the night to make it 4-2 for the Terriers. The two-goal lead held until 19:14 in the third period when Zach McIntyre added an empty net goal to round out a 5-2 Terrier win. Kael DePape was in net for Yorkton facing 24 shots and earning the win, while Austin Elliott guarded the twine for Notre Dame facing 44 shots in the loss.
Former Rattler part of BCLA Stingers The Edmonton Stingers, 2021 champions of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL), have been competing in Group A in the Basketball Champions League Americas (BCLA). The Stingers have played five games in group play against Real Estelí from Nicaragua, and Cangrejeros from Puerto Rico. Cangrejeros from Puerto Rico, like the Stingers, are participating in their first season of the BCLA. After winning their opening contest 84-81 over Esteli Dec. 13, in Managua, the Stingers have struggled. They lost on the second night of a backto-back in Managua 89-68 to Cangrejeros on Dec. 14. In the second cycle of play Cangrejeros won 95-55 over the Stingers March 5, again in Managua, with Esteli revenging their earlier loss topping Edmonton 89-73 March 6. The three teams play in phase 3 of the opening round this week in Calgary, with the Stingers facing Cangrejeros Monday and coming away with a massive 93-87 win. Tonight, the Stingers
face Esteli. Just being involved in the championship is a big step for the CEBL, said former Saskatchewan Rattler Chad Posthumus, a member of the Stingers for the event. “This is a huge opportunity . . . To play some of the top teams,” said Posthumus who has led the Stingers through four averaging 12.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, while playing 26.7 minutes, team leader in all three categories. While the Stingers are representing the CEBL by virtue of having won the 2021 CEBL Championship, the team is made up of players from across the league as many players are playing in other leagues in what has been the off season for Edmonton. The CEBL’s Edmonton roster for the third window is comprised of nine Canadians and three international players, noted a CEBL release. Eight of the Canadians have played in at least one window of BCLA group stage competition, including centre Chad Posthumus who is averaging 10.3 rebounds (third best in the league), forward Murphy Burnatowski,
CALVIN DANIELS
Sports and guards Junior Cadougan, Jahmal Jones, Malcolm Duvivier, Jaylen Babb-Harrison, Alex Campbell and JV Mukama. Notable CEBL player inclusions to the roster for this window include two-time CEBL Canadian of the Year, two-time CEBL champion with Edmonton (2020, 2021) and AllCEBL First team forward, Jordan Baker, as well as forward Travis Daniels, who played for the Edmonton Stingers in 2020 under current head coach Jermaine Small, and with the Saskatchewan Rattlers last season. Edmonton is currently ranked third in their respective BCLA group with Cangrejeros of Puerto Rico in first place and Real Estelí of Nicaragua in second place. The Stingers needed to win at least one game in the current window, accomplished
Monday, and hope that Esteli loses both games for a chance to enter the competition’s Final 8 playoffs, which will be held at a neutral site in early-April. Posthumus, who hails from Winnipeg, said getting to play the latest round of games in Canada is great, as it is an opportunity to show Canadian fans “how far this league has come,” adding he feels fans may have underappreciated “what this is.” While the team is under the Stingers name, since it is the CEBL off season Posthumus said the team really is “guys from a bunch of teams coming together,” to rep the CEBL and Canadian basketball. The BCLA brings together 12 teams representing seven countries from the Americas, competing over the course of four months to win a berth in the 2023 FIBA
International Cup, one of professional basketball’s most prestigious international championship events. The growth of the CEBL has been rather dramatic, especially through the COVID pandemic, but Posthumus, who has signed with Ottawa for the upcoming season, said that has not been a surprise. “It’s been great from day one,” he said, adding the league has continually made good moves to support both its growth, and the growth of basketball in Canada. The addition of three teams – Newfoundland, Montreal and Scarborough – this year, is part of a plan, said Posthumus. “They’ve always been working on that, a 10-plus team league,” he said, adding prospective owners have “seen something special and want to be part of it.” Posthumus added he has heard up to four more teams are looking to join the CEBL in the next couple of years. One of those cities would seem to be logically Calgary, with the event this week a sort of showcase of interest. Wherever the new teams are, it’s all good

Chad Posthumus news for Canadian players, as it gives more sports to fill. “I never had the opportunity coming out of university, (time at UBC and Moorehead State), eight years ago,” said Posthumus, adding the CEBL is helping “. . . keep guys playing in Canada . . .To have that opportunity now is huge … to keep a lot more of our talent here at home.” The CEBL announced NBA TV Canada will broadcast national games featuring the Stingers including at Real Esteli of Nicaragua at 7:30 p.m. CST March 16. The Saskatchewan Rattlers start the 2022 season May 25 hosting the Niagara River Lions.
What to do if your cat refuses to use their litter box Is Mittens making messes around the house? If your cat refuses to use their litter box, it’s best to determine the cause of the unwanted behaviour. Here’s an overview of what you should know. POSSIBLE CAUSES If your cat has diabetes, a urinary tract infection or other health problem, they may physically be unable to hold it in. Alternatively, if their living environment has recently changed, your furry friend may start making messes as a result of stress.

In the rings The Tim Horton’s Brier may have had the eyes of most curling fans this past week, but the rocks were also sliding down the ice at the Yorkton Curling Club. Thursday was the final night of action in the Bayer Crop Science Cash League
with the team of skip Ryan Douglas , third John Shurnak and second Kyle Fink topping the Ray Sharp team 7-1. Other games were played that night as well but scores were not recorded.

Pickelball Yorkton Monthly By Dave Weiman Wow, who says there is nothing to do in Yorkton and area in winter. I have always been impressed on the great variety of events happening here. And, yes, pickleball is one of them. This last month has been particularly busy. On March 5th we had our fourth Learn to Play clinic with six participants. It is always a pleasure watching folks new to the sport, find joy in being active and enjoying a new activity. The next day, March 6, we had our first PreIntermediate Clinic with
seven participants. This was a very encouraging clinic for Chanz and I, since we could see the progression of the ability of these players. They had all been involved in a previous Learn to Play and had reached a bit of a wall in their level of play. We truly hope our suggestions as to strategy and refined techniques were of benefit. The optimism was definitely there. April 2, a ladies only tournament has been organized at the Gloria Hayden and will accommodate all levels of play. Contact Anne or Sheryl for further info.
April 9th, the Saskatchewan Senior Fitness Association is holding a pickleball tournament at the Gloria Hayden. This tournament is open to all players in the Parkland Valley District. Again, a most wonderful opportunity for players of either sex and any level of play to get involved in a tournament. The players will be competing against other players in their playing ability and within a five year age range. Doesn’t get any fairer than that, no more excuses. People can advance to SSFA Provincials in Prince Albert June 14-16.
On March 9, we even convinced our local MP Cathay Wagantall to come out and give it a try. She did very well for the time she spent playing, and quite frankly that didn’t surprise me; she is quite athletic and has that competitive streak in her. She really enjoyed getting out and enjoyed the sport very much. As with others, darn work gets in the way at times. We do hope to work with the city to accommodate our working people with better times in the future. The desire with the local people is there. See you on the courts.
Anglers: It’s time to remove ice fishing shelters With ice fishing season winding down, anglers should plan to remove their ice fishing shelters before the deadlines - March 15 south of Highway 16 and March 31 north of the highway. Spring weather is unpredictable and it can be easy to overestimate how much time you have to safely remove your ice shelter. Every year, shelters end up abandoned on the melting ice, posing a danger to boaters, water skiers and others enjoying our lakes. Leftover debris can also wash up on shore, causing litter and potential environmental hazards. Ice fishing structures must be removed from the ice surface and transported away, along with all litter and leftover debris. Shelters not removed may result in the owner’s prosecution, with the structure and its contents confiscated. All shelters require the owner’s complete name, address and phone number marked clearly on the outside, in letters that are at least 2.5 cm high. Anyone travelling on the ice should be extremely cautious. Slush indicates that ice is quickly eroding, and fluctuating temperatures can cause thermal cracks and pressure ridges, which are also indicators of unsafe ice conditions. Ice thickness and strength can vary considerably from one area to another, so check and be sure.

Consistency from policies would help It would be nice if there was consistency in the approach of government on issues. You will not always agree with, or support a political view, but those who do more than rail against a party they don’t support, will at least recognize those we elect tend to do what they feel is best for the future of the country. And that vision can be quite different from party-to-party which is why we have such heated debates. At present the federal Liberal party has its political eye set rather firmly on the target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in
Canada moving forward in hopes of addressing what they see as the human impact causing climate change. Of course many readers here will be shaking their heads that climate change is a false reading of data at best, and a flat out conspiracy having been created for some nefarious reason, but there is mounting science that something is going on. Since we don’t exactly have an alternative to living on this planet we probably should be looking at how best we might help nature on this one. The Liberals have hung their hats on the carbon tax as a way to
Agriculture THIS WEEK
Calvin Daniels get people to undertake better practices to reduce emissions. People do ted to react when something hits them in the pocketbook, so the idea has some merit that if they are taxed they’ll make better decisions in terms of what they use and do in terms of things creating
greenhouse gases. But, anything with the word tax is never particularly popular, and the carbon tax is much-hated by many Canadians. That said it is an effort on behalf of the Liberals. But, then turn the page to another day and
the system in another area is stalling science being available in Canada. In late February, the European Union approved use of a feed additive which can reduce methane emissions from cattle by 30 per cent or more. Livestock, in particular cattle are definitely methane emitters, and anything that can help agriculture be less of an issue in that regard should be applauded. But, here in Canada, the product may not be on the market for years because Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency have classified the additive
as a veterinary drug. This is one of those stumbling blocks that has long escaped me, why the science in one country is basically ignored in another. In this case the EU is not somewhere with questionable regulations. In fact, generally they are more stringent in regulating farming. And in Canada we have a government clearly wanting this country to be ‘greener.’ It seems a perfect opportunity for some gentle persuasion or legislation if needed, to provide livestock producers access to have less impact in terms of methane emissions.
Agricultural Safety Week proclaimed in Sask. The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed March 13-19, 2022, as Agricultural Safety Week in Saskatchewan. “Agricultural Safety Week serves as an important reminder that safety in agriculture matters year-round, on and off the farm,” Agriculture Minister David Marit said. “Everyone has a role to play, investing in
our physical and mental health and promoting safe practices on the job. We must each do our part to ensure we are all able to return home to our loved ones at the end of every day.” “Saskatchewan’s agriculture industry plays a major role in feeding the world, and Saskatchewan is proud to be a leader in exporting key crop prod-
ucts,” Labour Relations and Workplace Safety Minister Don Morgan said. “By putting safety first, producers can come home safe at the end of the day, while contributing to a strong agriculture industry.” Saskatchewan recognizes Canadian Agricultural Safety Week annually in partnership with the Canadian
Agricultural Safety Association. Canadian Agricultural Safety Week is focused on helping producers, families and communities lead the agricultural industry in safety and sustainability. “With this year’s campaign, we’re excited to celebrate something that we deeply believe in at CASA - that Safety is Our Standard in
Canadian agriculture,” CASA’s Chief Executive Officer Andrea Lear said. “Canadian Agricultural Safety Week is an opportunity to raise awareness about safe agriculture and encourage farmers, farm families, and farming communities to take action. Because everyone has a role to play in farm safety.” This year’s theme,
Safety Is Our Standard, is the first of a three-year farm safety campaign; Your Farm, Your Family, Your Success. This year, virtual AgSafe ribbons are available for download from the CASA website. Please visit saskatchewan.ca/farmsafety for more information about farm safety and for access to the Farm Safety Guide.
Canada’s farmland market remains resilient despite adversity, FCC reports REGINA – Canada’s farmland values climbed in spite of impacts from pandemic supply chain disruptions and adverse weather that affected parts of the country, as Farm Credit Canada’s (FCC) Farmland Values Report showed an 8.3-per-cent national average increase in 2021. The report, which describes changes in Canada’s farmland values from Jan.1 to Dec. 31, 2021, covers an entire year of disruptions caused by the pandemic, as well as drought that reduced yields across much of the prairies. FCC reported a 5.4-per-cent national average increase in 2020. In Saskatchewan, average farmland values increased by 7.4 per cent in 2021, following gains of 5.4 per cent in 2020 and 6.2 per cent in 2019. “The low interest rate environment and favourable commodity prices seem to have offset some of the many challenges that could have been expected to restrain the demand for farmland and the price producers are willing to pay for land,” said J.P. Gervais,
FCC’s chief economist. “It’s a testament to the resilience and business confidence of farm operators who are largely driving this strong Canadian farmland market.” The largest increases were recorded in Ontario and British Columbia (22.2 and 18.1 per cent, respectively), followed by Prince Edward Island (15.2 per cent), Nova Scotia (12.3 per cent) and Quebec (10 per cent). Other provinces showed more moderate average increases, ranging from Alberta at 3.6 per cent to Manitoba at 9.9 per cent. Saskatchewan recorded an average increase of 7.4 per cent, while New Brunswick showed a 5.2 per cent average increase. There was an insufficient number of publicly reported sales in Newfoundland and Labrador to fully assess farmland values in that province. That was also the case in Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Gervais notes that Canada’s agriculture industry is still facing uncertainty, since labour shortages, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical ten-
sions, farm input, inflation and incremental interest rate increases are expected this year. At the same time, FCC is forecasting that receipts of grains, oilseeds and pulses in Canada will increase in 2022, fueled by strong demand and tight global supply. Increases in farmland values reported across the country are as wide and varied as the factors that may have influenced them. Average farmland values have increased every year since 1993, however, increases were more pronounced from 2011 to 2015 in many different regions. Since then, Canada has seen more moderate single-digit increases in average farmland values. Ontario reported the sharpest overall increase, more than quadrupling its 2020 average farmland value increase of 4.7 per cent, while B.C. more than doubled its average increased from the previous year. With a much smaller farmland market, PEI’s average increase was more pronounced from one year to the next. Land markets in Prairie provinces were somewhat tem-
pered by adverse growing conditions, while farmland values in several regions of B.C. were bolstered by limited supplies of available land and proximity to urban areas. “Sharp increases are often a result of local market conditions coupled with relatively favourable economic conditions,” Gervais said. “For areas that reported significant increases, strong demand for a limited supply of land played a key role in bumping up values.” Producers in many regions were buying or selling land to gain operational efficiencies and to support family farm succession plans, which contributed to a strong farmland market in Canada. Relatively good growing conditions in Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick contributed to the farmland value increases in those provinces. Gervais reminds producers to have and maintain a risk management plan that takes into account possible economic changes, ensuring their budgets have room to flex if
commodity prices, yields or interest rates shift. They also need to exercise caution, especially in regions where the growth rate of farmland values exceeded that of farm income in recent years.

March is Agriculture Literacy month in SK Recently, the Government of Saskatchewan proclaimed March as Agriculture Literacy Month. Agriculture Literacy Month connects students across the province to agriculture through engaging pres-
entations by industry volunteers. “Educating youth about agriculture is an important part of strengthening the industry through understanding and connection,” Agriculture Minister David Marit said.
“Presentations and sharing personal experiences help children understand the work that goes into producing the food we eat and creates an appreciation for the dedicated people that are part of the robust supply chain.” For many years, Agriculture in the Classroom Canada has worked to bring agriculture education into classrooms across the nation. “Agriculture Literacy Month provides Saskatchewan students with an important opportunity to learn about
agriculture’s significant contribution to our province,” Education Minister Dustin Duncan said. “Agriculture plays a critical role in keeping our communities fed, maintaining a strong economy and providing future employment opportunities for students in a wide-range of areas.” This year, the theme Connections in Agriculture will help students see how we are all connected to agriculture. Students will be encouraged to discover the countless people,
from farm to table, that work in the world of agriculture to produce our food. Industry volunteers, including farmers, ranchers and professionals, will join classrooms to share presentations and personal experiences to help students realize how they are also connected to agriculture. “We know that kids have questions about agriculture,” Agriculture in the Classroom Saskatchewan Executive Director Sara Shymko said. “Students are curious about where their food comes from, and we
are so pleased to have volunteers from across the province getting involved and sharing their agriculture stories and experiences in classrooms. Together we are building personal connections and providing hands-on learning to help create an exciting and memorable learning experience for students.” Over the last 10 years, Canadian Agriculture Literacy Month has reached over 42,000 students in over 1,500 schools in Saskatchewan with help from more than 2,000 volunteers.

CHERNIPESKI - Mr. Victor Chernipeski of Yorkton, passed away peacefully in his sleep at the Yorkton & District Nursing Home (Orkney House) on Monday, March 7, 2022 at the age of 88. Victor was born near the village of Theodore in SK on April 5, 1933. He was the 7th child in a family of 12 children born to Steven and Agolfia (nee Maleschuk) Chernipeski. He attended elementary school in Theodore. It took him one year to learn English as the family spoke Ukrainian at home. He didn’t learn grade one until the second year. In his younger years he helped his mother around the house while his older brothers helped their dad in the fields. Victor started working at the age of 14 for a farmer, he was itching to have money in his pocket. He was always fascinated with trucks and started working with the Chernipeski Bros. They mostly hauled dirt and gravel for city streets and highways. Victor was a self taught aggregate miner, and became a local glacial deposit expert, because he was always searching for gravel deposits. He wore out 5 dump trucks in his lifetime, buying and selling sand, gravel and topsoil. His very first truck, he built the dump box out of wood. His first job was at the Regina Airport expanding the air strip in the early 1950’s. He loved music. Sometimes his father would sit him on the counter when he was very small and sing Ukrainian folk songs to him. His first instrument was the violin which he ordered from the sears catalogue as a kit and put together when he was around 7. He often commented on how patient and kind his mother must have been to never complain about his screechy practices which were probably hours on end from the second floor balcony of the farmhouse. He later learned the guitar, and when his joints became too stiff to play guitar, he bought a baby grand piano to learn hymns on. As a child he was inventive and was often playing with toys that he had made himself. His green thumb was probably nurtured by his mother. Victor joined the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in his early 20’s and because of his strong faith in God he was able to give up his destructive habits of smoking and drinking. Victor met Marjorie Brockman in 1963 in Ontario where Marjorie was employed as a nurse. They got married August 19, 1968 in Loma Linda, California. They made their home in Yorkton where Victor was already established. They raised their 4 children, Gary, Rhondalee, Bradley and Kathy. Victor enjoyed nature and often tamed certain birds and squirrels to eat out of his hand. He also enjoyed taking his children out for nature walks for the entire afternoon on Saturdays. He found and kept extraordinary fossils and beautiful rocks on his journeys. He was a “rock hound” and loved to show them off. Victor is preceded in death by his parents, Steve and Agolfia Chernipeski; his sisters, Mary, Anne (Harry) Knight and Kay (Tony) Manchur; his brothers, Nick (Lois), Harvey and Ivon; his nephew, Howard; great nephews, David and Calvin; and great niece Teanda. Victor is survived by his former wife Marjorie Chernipeski; four children and their partners, Gary (Kelly) and their two children, Rayeden and Mckenna; Rhondalee and her daughter, Tearra (Brett) and their daughter, Valeria; Bradley (Heather) and their children, Morrison & Bella; Kathy (David) and their daughter, Anna. He is also survived by one sister Emilie and his brothers Mike (Bernice), Alex (Adele), Edward and Steven (Marina); as well as numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. A family prayer service was held on Thursday, March 10, 2022 in the Chapel of Bailey’s Funeral Home in Yorkton with Pastor Ron Marshall of the Yorkton Seventh Day Adventist Church officiating. Tributes and Words of Remembrance were shared by Rhondalee and Kathy. The interment followed in St. Mary’s Ukrainian Orthodox Cemetery, Theodore District with Russ Henderson, David Willis, Brian Chernipeski, Chris Chernipeski, Steven Chernipeski and Darcy Chernipeski serving as the casket bearers. Condolences to the family can be posted at baileysfuneralhome.com Memorials in Victor’s memory may be made to the Activity Department at Yorkton District Nursing Home.

ALLORE – It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Darlene Sandra Allore (Warcomika) after a long, courageous battle with kidney disease. Darlene slipped peacefully away on March 1, 2022. Darlene was born in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, on April 23, 1955, to proud parents Olga and Fred Warcomika of nearby Willowbrook, Saskatchewan. The third of four children, her early years growing up were happy times spent going to school and helping out with the never-ending chores on the family farm. It was during this time that Darlene's nurturing nature evolved, be it for people, plants or furry critters. When young adulthood brought a desire to expand her horizons, Darlene decided to try "big city" life and moved west to Calgary, Alberta. In time, she met and fell in love with her future husband, Peter Allore. The young couple eventually moved to Strathmore, Alberta, married, and started a family with the births of two lovely daughters, Brandy and Amanda. Her caring nature encouraged her to pursue her interests in education and volunteer work. She loved teaching kindergarten and playschool as well as providing care to elderly community members. For many years she was involved in the Girl Guides of Canada. One of Darlene's major accomplishments during her time with the Guides was helping to raise funds for a longplanned group visit to Australia. In her later years, Darlene's "green thumb" and her love for cats, crafts and coffee with friends kept her busy and content. Darlene was predeceased by her parents Olga Warcomika (Hyrabok) and Fred Warcomika; husband Peter Allore; sister Mary Anne Schrader (Warcomika); and brothers Alvie Warcomika and Randy Warcomika. She is survived by daughters Brandy Allore of Beijing, China, and Amanda Allore (Paul Craig) of the Strathmore, Alberta area; grandchildren Isabelle Craig and Owen Craig; and uncle Stan Warcomika of Calgary, Alberta. In addition, Darlene will be deeply missed by nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and acquaintances. Please join the family in a celebration of life for Darlene on Saturday, March 26, 2022, at Hope Community Covenant Church in Strathmore, at 1:00 p.m. To send condolences, please visit Darlene's obituary at www.wheatlandfuneralhome.ca.

In 1962 Dave and his family moved back to Yorkton, SK where he began a 20 + year career with the newspaper “The Yorkton Enterprise”. In 1984 Dave’s entrepreneurial spirit took over and he started “Custom Printers” in Yorkton where he successfully ran that business until his retirement in 1998 when he sold the company. In 1993 Dave met his second wife Norma and they were married in October of 1995. In their early retirement years, Dave and Norma sold their house in Yorkton and travelled around North America living out of the motor home they purchased. Golf was Dave’s passion and in the mid-2000’s Dave and Norma went back to Yorkton where he came out of retirement to become the General Manager of York Lake Golf & Country Club. After a few years there, Dave took over managing the Melville Golf & Country Club until his second retirement in 2013. In 2016 Dave & Norma moved to Vulcan, AB where they purchased a home overlooking the 11th fairway of the Vulcan Golf Course. Dave & Norma enjoyed many years in Vulcan, golfing almost every day the course was open. They say in golf if you score a hole in one, it is luck. However, a more significant accomplishment in golf is to shoot a score equal to or lower than your age. From about age 75, Dave consistently shot scores lower than his age up to and including the year of his 80th birthday where he regularly shot in the mid to high 70’s. In 2018, at age 80, Dave recorded his 3rd career hole in one and his first in Vulcan on the 18th hole. So maybe he was luckier than most! In 2021 Dave played 130 rounds of golf and played in several tournaments in the area. The family would like to thank his medical team at the Vulcan Health Center & South Health Campus in Calgary especially the doctors, nurses and respiratory staff of unit 68 and the ICU for their incredible care and compassion while he was in their care. A celebration of Dave’s life will take place on Tuesday, April 5th, at 11 am at the Legion Hall in Vulcan Alberta. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Vulcan golf club junior golf program. Arrangements entrusted to Snodgrass Funeral Home, High River Alberta. 403-652-2222

KOROL - Lena - With great sadness, the family of the late Lena Korol, beloved wife of the late John Korol, announce her passing at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre, Yorkton, SK, on February 27, 2022, at the age of 91 years. Lena was born on June 18, 1930, the fourth child of ten children to Ted and Agnes (Babiuk) Bodnaryk. She attended Lozan school. In 1949, Lena married John Korol. Together they had three children: Gerald, Larry, and Russell. She was an active member of the Mazeppa Ladies Aid Association and a member of the Descent of the Holy Spirit Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Mazeppa, SK. Lena’s love and passion on the farm was her garden. She was forever experimenting with her garden. She was always taking pictures of weird vegetables like twisted carrots or tomatoes that looked like bugs. She even managed to grow a 17 lb cabbage. As she was a very procedural person, everything was to be done in order – no short cuts – especially when it came to making borscht or pickling cucumbers. Family was important to Lena, as was her faith in God. She loved to see her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. Lena was predeceased by her parents, Ted and Agnes Bodnaryk; her husband, John; sons, Gerald, in infancy, and Larry; sister, Ann; and five brothers: John, Mike, Walter, Nick, and Ronny. She is survived by her son, Russell (friend Judy); daughter-in-law, Dianne; three sisters; Mary Bodnaryk, Alice Bates, and Bernice (Alvin) Yarechewski; sisters-in-law, Rose Bodnaryk and Pauline Bodnaryk; grandson, Jonathan (friend Naomi); three granddaughters: Krista (Tyler) Tichkowsky, Kimberly (Francis) Zinn, and Heather (Ben) Thieson; and six great grandchildren: Makayla, Kyle, Riley, Gavin, Inara, and Luca; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends. Prayers were held at 7:00 p.m., Thursday, March 3, 2022, and the Funeral Service at 2:00 p.m., Friday, March 4, 2022, both from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity, Canora, SK, with Rev. Fr. Petro Tsenov officiating. Interment followed in the Sliding Hills Christian Cemetery, Mazeppa, SK. Those wishing to make expressions of sympathy may make donations to the Descent of the Holy Spirit Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Mazeppa, SK, as tokens of remembrance, in memory of Lena Korol. Family and friends unable to attend are invited to sign an online guest book at www.lesonsfuneralhome.ca. Arrangements were entrusted to LESON’S FUNERAL HOME, Canora.

Card of Thanks FANDREY - Arlan Ivon Fandrey passed away suddenly on March 2, 2022, at the Regina General Hospital. He was surrounded by his family. Arlan was born April 26, 1932, on the farm near Ebenezer to Edward and Olga (Patzer) Fandrey. He grew up on the family farm with his two brothers and one sister. Besides the usual farm chores, he spent many hours with his older brother, Lorne and two uncles, Allan and Harold, creating “havoc” around their two farms. He completed high school and then entered Teacher’s College in 1952 and started his teaching career in 1953, a career that lasted until 1986 when he retired. On August 29, 1956, he was united in married with Marlene Bohn and they were blessed with two children, Kevin in 1960 and Shelley in 1963. In 1991, Shelley married Darrell Nickel and in 1998 he was blessed with the birth of his beloved grandson, Jason. After completing his education degree in 1963, they moved into their first home on Deerwood Crescent and in 1985, moved to their current home on Darlington Street. Both yards were blessed with very large gardens and flower beds as well as an immaculate lawn. One of Arlan’s goals was to meet all his first cousins which was quite a large goal as they lived in California, Oregon and various places in B.C. He met all but one which meant the family spent many summers travelling up and down the west coast. When he was a young man, he asked Jesus Christ to be his Lord and Saviour and he served Him faithfully until the day he died. As a member of Ebenezer Baptist Church, he served as a Sunday School teacher for over 50 years, church clerk for 25 consecutive years as well as a deacon, trustee, Singing Men president, choir member and Mr. Fix It. It really upset him when he couldn’t sing in the choir anymore. He loved building things! He completed numerous projects and pieces of furniture for family and friends. He loved being outdoors hunting, fishing, playing hockey, baseball, water skiing, snowmobiling and attending Rider games. His family and his God were his top priorities. Arlan was predeceased by his father and mother, brother, Lorne and sister-in-law, Marilyn. He leaves behind his wife Marlene; son Kevin; daughter, Shelley (Darrell) and grandson, Jason as well as brother, Ken (Karen); sister, Daphne Wilson; sister-in-law, Grace and sister-in-law, Elaine Patzer (Harold) as well as many nieces and nephews.

PLAN NUMBER 2-3780 MORTGAGE HELPER OR IN-LAW SUITE This attractive threebedroom, two-storey family home, with two roughed-in bedrooms on the lower floor, as well as a future secondary suite, would be an ideal choice for anyone seeking accommodation with mortgage-helper or inlaw suite. The covered entry leads into a foyer with a den to the left and the L-shaped staircase to the upper floor ahead and to the right. The long open-plan great-room complex includes the kitchen at the back and the living room - with French doors to a sundeck - at the front. The dining area, between the two, features two tall narrow windows to the side garden. The living room’s gas fireplace will cast its cozy glow into the dining area and beyond. In the kitchen, which is separated from the din-
ing area by a rectangular prep island, the cook will never feel isolated, being able to chat with family and guests while preparing meals or snacks. The L-shaped counter configuration spells efficiency, and a doorway to a covered patio will make serving alfresco meals a breeze. The corner pantry will be welcome for storage. The master suite overlooks the front garden and includes a roomy walk-in closet, as well as an ensuite with double basins, a soaker tub and a shower stall. The two secondary bedrooms share a threepiece bath. A linen closet is located nearby, while a second linen closet is tucked into the angle made by the stairwell, which is railed for safety. Downstairs, as well as the roughed-in secondary suite, are two future bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom, as well as a storage area. The double garage has access to the foyer, for convenience, as
well as to the mechanical room. Exterior finishes include stucco, wooden siding, painted trim and brick accents. The roof is shingled. This home measures 40 feet wide by 58 feet, two inches, for a total of 1,665 of living space on the upper floor. All ceilings are nine feet high. Our 52ND Edition of the Home Plan Catalogue containing over 300 plans is available for $16.50 (includes taxes, postage and handling).

ART • ENTERTAINMENT • COMMUNITY
Godfrey Dean Gallery has good year By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yorkton Council received the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery Fee for Service Report 2022 at its regular meeting March 7. The report, which Council voted to file without discussion, was an extensive document looking back on 2020 activities at the gallery, and ahead to 2022 and beyond. In total 2,512 visitors visited our exhibitions in 2021, and GDAG showcased the work of 117 artists, of which 49 were local artists from our community. In 2020 there were 1,058 gallery visitors. “This statistical data shows the growing capacity of the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery following a significant transition to a new Director and Curator in 2020, and the specific context of the pandemic and the reopening and re-engagement that continues since 2021,” noted the report. “GDAG will continue to track statistical data and measuring our impact and reach against previous years.” The numbers are one indication of the gallery’s importance to the city. “The social and mental health benefits of the arts is well-documented. Creative experiences provoke thought, reflection, dialogue, and learning. The benefits apply to both artists and audiences, as the experience of art is a creative activity unto itself. At GDAG, a local artist can create and show a new painting in the gallery, or a visitor can encounter a new art exhibition. Both experiences provide the social and mental health benefits that arts and culture provide,” detailed the report. “All of our work at the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery is guided by our mandate: to publicly exhibit and present diverse artwork in the areas of visual art, performing arts, fine craft, and Indigenous art; to maintain facilities in Yorkton for public artistic exhibitions and related programming; and to engage the public and promote learning and dialogue through diverse educational and professional development opportunities. “Engaging with the arts benefits everyone. It encourages and provides opportunity for expression, dialogue, relaxation, tranquility, and joy of curiosity for people of any age. Programming at GDAG is varied to provide our community with encounters across a wide range of artistic styles, approaches, ideas, and inspirations. “Our gallery is accessible, and we maintain regular opening hours

Art shows remains important undertaking by local gallery. six days a week. It is a gathering space for individuals, families, and groups of friends. We often meet people who come to the gallery as a regular group activity, a way to see something new and visit while sharing in the experience. We do not charge admission at GDAG, and we work to make our programming accessible and engaging for everyone. “In addition to regularly changing art exhibitions and public events, we also present art classes and workshops for the benefit of the local community. These can include paint nights, art making workshops, children’s art classes, and mentorship sessions. There is great value in offering these activities for everyone in our community. These are fun social activities and rare opportunities to play with new art techniques and tools. At the same time, we are also focussed on providing professional development and real-world experience for local artists who are maintaining and developing their professional careers.” The local art included being featured in June in the gallery’s annual Local Artist Show where the artists were also invited to participate in a free mentorship activity, Conversations About Your Art. “A total of six artists benefited from one-on-one sessions in the gallery with visiting professional artist Clint Neufeld. This is a professional development activity we intend to repeat regularly with the Local Artist Show, and of great value for developing local artist careers,” stated the report. The Local Artist Show continues in 2022, and is expected to again engage more than 50 local artists, and this year the gallery is launching a Member’s Show and Sale in December, to provide local artists with a professional opportunity to share their work, and to drive membership at GDAG. “Produced in part as a
public engagement activity, the Local Artist Show is also a professional development opportunity. Artists apply, prepare their works for installation, and see the results of their work on bright gallery walls. In addition, artists are invited to participate in a mentorship activity with an established professional artist who can answer their questions and provide feedback on their artwork and goals. In 2021, Conversations About Your Art was presented in partnership with CARFAC SASK’s Travelling Mentor Program, and we are working with them to repeat this in 2022,” noted the report. The past year also saw extensive programming at the gallery. “In 2021, we produced art classes and workshops in person and online,” detailed the report. “Art classes in March and May were delivered via Zoom to 26 young people. Over the course of eight classes, that represents a total of 312 student hours.” There were also “two in-person art making workshops presented in 2021. The first, in partnership with Yorkton Pride, was presented with a capacity crowd of 12 people (maintaining social distancing and participant comfort). Later in the year, our Wool and Needle Felted Art Workshop with feature artist Melanie Monique Rose, engaged 12 people in making new fabric art creations. Both workshops were enthusiastically received, and it is clear there is an appetite for hands-on art making activities at GDAG.” Programming will remain a gallery focus in 2022 and beyond as well. “Programming and outreach in the coming years will deliver personal and social benefits
to community and mental health, as well as supporting amateur, emerging, and established artists in our community through art classes, workshops, and professional development,” stated the report. “The Godfrey Dean Art Gallery is an important pillar in the local arts ecology. As we maintain focus on our mandate and understanding the needs of our community, we will continue to engage a diverse range of artists for the benefit of people in our area and beyond.”
The report also highlighted what lies ahead. “Programming over the coming years includes gallery showcases of local artists, including Jinali Patel who will create a largescale rangoli installation at GDAG, Ryan William, whose drawings and paintings recount his experience growing up in Yorkton, and Heather Peat Hamm, a prairie biologist and scientific illustrator who splits her time between in Runnymede and Forget, Sask.,” noted the report. “In September 2022, GDAG will host local artist Faith Rae’s graduating MFA exhibition from the University of Brandon. This is a significant opportunity for our gallery to support and promote a local artist at a critical moment in their career. “In 2023, GDAG will host a special retrospective of celebrat-
ed Indigenous artist Edward Poitras, in partnership with galleries across the province, and looking ahead to 2024, a major exhibition with Cree musician and choral music director, Andrew Balfour, is being developed. These significant exhibitions will be unique to Yorkton and GDAG. Other exhibitions planned in the coming year highlight different approaches to art making, including different materials, techniques, concepts, and stories for the interest and benefit of our community.” In August 2022, GDAG will again partner with Yorkton Pride, this year presenting a paint and karaoke night that is sure to be a fun activity to add colour and spirit for Yorkton’s Pride Week. I n September 2022, visiting artist Ho Tam will work with local participants to make artwork and share stories from here. Ho Tam’s photography and book-making specialization will guide the workshops and help participants create and share their work. In November 2022, local artist Jinali Patel will create a large rangoli installation in the gallery. We plan to host a reception to celebrate the artist and share about this beautiful Indian artistic tradition. “As a recurring component, we will continue to offer professional development sessions as part of GDAG’s annual Local Artist Show. Free for local artists, these sessions provide artistic guidance and career advice from an established professional artist,” detailed the report. The gallery is also in the early stages of a multi-year initiative. “GDAG’s multi-year project Belong Where You Find Yourself, is an important element in our outreach strategy, engaging 12 local par-
ticipants in a year-long creation exercise under the direction of two lead artists Alana Moore and Amber Phelps Bondaroff. Leading to a major show in 2023, this project provides local participants with the opportunity to work as (paid) artists in the creation of a gallery exhibition. Throughout the project, participants will be guided through multiple art classes and group activities,” noted the report. New in 2022, “in collaboration with local schools, starting in 2022 GDAG will develop student guides for the exhibitions we present. The guides will provide additional information for teachers and students, including questions and prompts to promote discussion. The guides are informed by school curriculum outcomes, and we plan to promote this resource and welcome more class visits in 2022 and 2023. “Through our outreach and education activities, GDAG engages a diverse range of people in our community. GDAG’s outreach serves the general public, and through special initiatives we have also focussed effort for target groups such as people living with dementia, youth, students, and local artists.” The report concluded by suggesting it is meeting changing needs in the community well. “Programming at the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery is varied and growing. We take particular pride in the number of partnerships we have built over the past year, including with local partners and sponsors who have helped in large and small ways. Our statistical tracking shows positive and increasing audience and engagement numbers,” noted in the report. “The response we have had from our community, from local and provincial partners, and from the Canadian arts scene, is evidence of our capacity to reach people and to contribute to the social and personal benefits of arts and culture in and from our community.”

Oobleck up the chin “ME? ME say I’m sorry? Kings never say ‘I’m sorry!’ And I am the mightiest king in all the world!” Bartholomew looked the King square in the eye. “You may be a mighty king,” he said. “But you’re sitting in oobleck up to your chin. And so is everyone in your land. And if you won’t even say you’re sorry, you’re no sort of a king at all!” That little passage came from my favorite theologian. Dr. Seuss. Yes, he of The Cat in the Hat, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas and many others, including Bartholomew and the Oobleck, from which that passage comes.
A king had gone on a power trip and created gooey oobleck, which made big trouble for his subjects. I received a letter from a friend who’d manufactured some oobleck. Who should have known better, but had chosen to malign and slander me to others. Who’d said unkind things—untrue things, then refused contact. I’d never really understood why. That period of my life, I recall, was punctuated by confusion. The letter stated plainly and humbly the reasons. Jealousy had overtaken my friend. Rash actions had followed, without thought of consequence. With

Sunny Side Up each one, oobleck rose higher. On most days, during those long months of our estrangement, I’d believed in my heart that we would have peace between us once more. One day. I thought often of what I could do to hurry that along. Go and talk to my old friend? Send over a pan of something delicious, and a note: “Please, can
we at least talk?” But I didn’t trust myself. I’d known my friend had manufactured the oobleck that had hurt me and influenced others. Sometimes anger blazed within me and I’d wished for the boldness of Bartholomew. A confrontation could go badly, I knew. I prayed instead. Before that letter arrived, God
had helped me do what my friend now asked. I’d forgiven. Prayer had balanced my spirit— simply by showing me how often I too need forgiveness. We finally found the courage to discuss our relationship openly. Although physical distance and different life paths eventually ended our close friendship, the distance holds no rancor. Are you ever tempted to stride up to those who’ve hurt you and just punch out their lights? To make them hurt like you’ve been hurt? To confront them with their lies, like Bartholomew? It usually does no good to tell someone sit-
ting in oobleck up to the chin that they’re sitting in oobleck up to their chin. Sometimes the stuff must be allowed to make trouble for those who create it before they recognize its foulness. (Some non-fictional ‘kings’ today may soon be learning that lesson, I suspect.) If others have mistreated you and refuse to make things right, take time and prayer. Resolve to let God help you forgive. Pray the oobleck they’ve created doesn’t smother them before it’s too late to make amends. But if oobleck surrounds you, recognize it and let God help you quickly make things right.
U of S online session informative It’s almost St. Patrick’s Day, and I wish you the good luck of a four-leaf clover…which might just be hiding under the piles of snow in our yards! I recently watched a session from the U of S on ‘Low Water, Low Maintenance Gardening’ with Sara Williams. It was just wonderful, very informative and interesting. Sara Williams is so knowledgeable, and an absolutely wonderful presenter. She had so much great information to share in her discussion of low water, low maintenance shrubs, trees and perennials. One thing that she spoke about was the function of lawns. Sara presented some points about why lawns are important: they offer
a cool and soft surface that we can relax on, sit on, and the kids can play on. Lawns create a lovely “negative” space that helps to emphasize our gardens and flowerbeds to their best advantage, like a beautiful backdrop. A lush green lawn is lovely to look at, although the pros and cons of the work, water, and fertilizer involved in getting that golfgreen image are not for everyone. However, here is something to think about. If we panic when we see clover in our lawns and think that we have to get rid of it, something that Sara mentioned in her session prompted me to do some homework, and I’ll tell you what I found. Sara said that if clover seed is five per cent of
DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
Gardener’s Notebook our grass seed mixture, it will supply half of the nitrogen needed for a healthy lawn. So, clover is not something that we should be rushing out to remove from our lawns. Some might consider clover a weed, but grass seed mixes are once again including some clover seed. Why? Clover is able to produce nitrogen from the air, and this helps our lawn be greener and healthier without
using as much fertilizer. Clover doesn’t need as much water as grass, because it has hardworking longer roots that will go down into the soil in search of moisture. Clover does well if we cut it or if we don’t, and it spreads easily even if our soil is poor or compacted. In fact, clover does very well in soil that is lacking nitrogen. It is droughtresistant, helps to loosen very compacted
soil, and its blooms will attract pollinators. The only downside that I noted was that clover is not quite as durable as lawn grass in areas that have a lot of traffic. So, what I took away from the various articles that I read is that clover in our lawns is definitely not a bad thing and is a definite plus in terms of durability,water usage and fertilizer application. And for those of us with established lawns that might need a bit of rejuvenating, maybe spreading some clover seed is a possible and practical idea! Here’s an interesting factoid: I also read about a poll that said 77 per cent of homeowners use their “lawn” area regularly for relaxing and entertaining, and
that having green space around a home was a priority among millennials who were looking to buy or rent a home. Guess what, the green space was ranked as more important than an updated kitchen! Looking out the window now, our lawns are a far-away dream…but not that far! Only 68 more sleeps till the May long weekend! Thank you to our friends at YTW who bring us local news in all kinds of weather: thank you for all your efforts! Gardeners, see what’s new with the Yorkton hort society at www.yorktonhort. ca and have a great week and a Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Erin go Bragh!
