Army cadets scatter the ashes of wreaths which were laid at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Day.
Soldiers remembered in D-Day ceremony By Tyson Off Staff Writer YORKTON – Commemorative D-Day ceremonies were held at the city cemetery on Monday. The day marked 78 years since the Allied invasion of Normandy took place.
This was the first parade in two years that was open to public due to restrictions put in place for the COVID-19 pandemic. “Well it’s great to be back to normal,” said Ken Gordon, president of the Royal Canadian Legion General Alexander Ross Branch #77,
adding, “having the public out and having the cadet group and lots of people out for a parade is what we always like to do on D-Day, so it was great to have a great turn out.” Among the various groups in attendance were the Yorkton Tribal Council. “This is the first time we’ve
partnered in having Yorkton Tribal Council as part of our service – it’s an honour to have them,” said Gordon, adding, “reconciliation – it’s an important thing – it’s a step that we all have to take.” “It’s 78-years-ago and D-Day is what was one of the most important battles of World
War II,” said Gordon, adding, “Canadians and Americans stormed the beaches of Normandy – there was many casualties, but it was a big step that turned the war in the hands of the allies.” “I’m very happy with the turn out here – this is really good.”
Survivor’s Flag now at home at YRHS By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer A Survivor’s Flag now hangs in the hallway just outside the doors of the Anne Portnuff Theatre at the Yorkton Regional High School. The location was selected so that the flag,
as a symbol of the process of reconciliation in Yorkton, will be visible not just to students but to the community as they visit the school, said Kendra Helfich, one of the people who began the process to get a flag for the school. Helfich said when
the creation of the flag first occurred the school made enquiries to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) about getting a flag, but with limited copies made they were going only to those involved in creation of the flag, or residential school surviv-
ors. But, through a number of emails the NCTR became interested in the school’s dedication to the reconciliation process, and eventually gifted the school a flag. It was that flag which was hung Wednesday after a presentation
which looked at the impact of residential schools and the need for reconciliation through the eyes of three generations, two of those survivors and the speaker looking at the present being from a family impacted by the schools. Dutch Lerat, 2nd Vice-
Chief FSIN, a residential school survivor spoke about the past. YRHS Grade 11 student Cree Delorme was the MC for the event and spoke about the ‘present’ and Clorice Delorme spoke to the ‘future’

SUN makes donation to ‘Bruno’s Place’ By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer A new low barrier emergency shelter currently being established in Yorkton received a much-appreciated financial boost Friday. Bruno’s Place, as it
will be called was presented with a donation of $20,000 from the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses Local #43. Angela Chernoff, shelter coordinator said the donation has put the fundraising effort into the range they had hoped
to raise. “Our goal was the range of $90-100,000,” she said, adding with the SUN dollars they are at $92,000. Chernoff admitted she was worried they might not reach the goal. “When I opened the
email (from SUN), I jumped out of my chair,” she said. “One email changed everything.” Maggie Hancock, SUN spokesperson said as a group “we wanted to give back to the community.” By supporting the shelter they help estab-
lish a facility which can be used by anyone in need in the area, adding their members come from not just Yorkton but nearby communities too. “This can be used for everybody,” she said. Hancock also noted that for nurses who have
worked the emergency ward they understand a place to stay is important. “We see the need for a place like this,” she said, adding it will be good to be able to direct people

Propp awarded as volunteer of the year By Tyson Off Staff Writer YORKTON – Local business owner, Kenn Propp, was honoured with the Easter Seals Canada Volunteer of the Year for Saskatchewan award on June 1 at the Tillman Quality of Life Centre. “Supporting Easter Seals is especially important to me because I grew up with an aunt who was disabled and I had cousins who were disabled –
I know what it’s like for the families – the commitment that they have to make to their children 365 days a year,” said Propp in an acceptance speech upon accepting the award. “The camp gives them a little bit of a respite – kudos to the people that work for Easter Seals and dedicate their time to making sure these kids have a great time at camp,” said Propp, adding, “I had the opportunity to visit the camp and it was really overwhelm-
ing – and a very heart-touching moment – to see how committed and dedicated the people are to working with children with disabilities.” “For over 30 years, [Propp] has given countless hours of his time, raised, and contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to Easter Seals Saskatchewan,” read a statement on a media release from Sask Abilities. “[Propp’s] decades of support have been crucial to the
long-term success and growth of Snowarama. His passion for supporting Easter Seals and individuals experiencing disability is unwavering, as regardless of snow and weather conditions, pandemic regulations, and any other possible hurdle, he continues to participate in Snowarama, and give his time and resources to our cause,” added the media release. “It was unexpected – I don’t think anybody does these
things for recognition – you dedicate to a cause and you do it,” said Propp in a media scrum, adding, “if you go to the camp and you see young people – 20, 22, 24 years-old – looking after these kids 24-hours-a-day, it literally melts your heart.” “I had family that actually suffered from disabilities – so I grew up kind of surrounded by people that had that – so I knew how important the camp was,” said Propp, “my grandmother

FLAG Continued from Page A1 Lerat said in signing treaties First Nations sought education but once signed “we had to fight for that right,” saying the “spirit and intent of their leaders was quickly lost. It was the same in terms of negotiating for health care for First Nations, believing the treaties ensured “the Crown would take care of us,” but again it has been a struggle ensuring that has been honoured. As for residential schools Lerat challenged those attending to think about what it would be like at five years old “to be taken from your homes against your will, against your parent’s will,” adding “it happened not just on Cowessess (First Nation), but across the country.” Lerat said it was during this time they lost their language, lost much of their culture, at the same time young students were often physically or sexually abused. As bad as it was Lerat said he was not looking to illicit “pity”. “We’re looking for under-
standing,” he said. A big part of understanding is realized “the long shadow of residential schools still lives with us,” he said, adding the schools left scars, “. . .We came out very damaged . . . angry.” Lerat said they are looking to what they hope is a better tomorrow and that is at the heart of reconciliation, which he added is “about coming together, coming to terms with the events of the past.” Cree Delorme said as a young person today she is living with the ramifications of residential schools. “I was never raised in my language,” which she added “is a critical aspect” of who First Nations are as a people. And it was the residential schools which split families, and left generations without parenting skills to utilize when they themselves had children. And the broken people Lerat spoke of often turned to addiction to cope. “This is our present,” she said. Clarice Delorme who spoke to the future said it was not an easy topic to speak of.
Cree Delorme “It’s not going to be red roses and strawberries,” she said. “It’s going to be hard.” Delorme spent nine years in the residential schools, a time where the schools were essentially all she knew. When Delorme left school she said she didn’t know who she was, didn’t really know her family, was essentially lost. “It was a difficult transition,” she said, adding it was a case of not knowing who she was or what her purpose was. And that hasn’t changed for
many even today. “Being an educator I see it every day in our schools,” she said. It’s not about being a success in the western world, but is instead important young First Nations “learn about who we are.” It is only after knowing who they are that they can find balance with the western world, said Delorme. Delorme added that Indigenous peoples have a different world view and they need to fully understand that as do non-First Nations. In that regard Delorme said reconciliation is about building partnerships which recognize and accept the different world views. The flag hung Wednesday was originally conceived during summer 2021, after the discoveries of massive unmarked graves found on the grounds of former residential schools sparked heartfelt responses of mourning throughout Canada and from across the globe, noted the NCTR website. “As members of the public inquired about how they could
show respect, many Survivors discussed remembrance and the creation of a Survivors flag as a salient and accessible symbol to honour the lives impacted by the residential school system,” stated the site. According to the NCTR webpage; “the Survivors’ Flag is an expression of remembrance, meant to honour residential school survivors and all the lives and communities impacted by the residential school system in Canada. Each element depicted on the flag was carefully selected by survivors from across Canada, who were consulted in the flag’s creation. “The Survivors’ flag was designed during six weeks of consultation, discussion and collaboration with Survivors from across Canada. Inuit, Mi’kmaq, Atikamekw, Cree, Ojibway, Dakota, Mohawk, Dene, Nuuchah-nulth, Secwepemc, Métis Survivors brought the flag to life by sharing their thoughts, ideas and lived experience to identify the important symbolism you see. The NCTR ensured the Survivors’ wishes and ideas were conveyed to Vincent Design to complete the flag.

The new shelter is currently being developed at 139 Dominion Avenue in the city, to fill a need known to exist in Yorkton In 2021, The Society for the Involvement of Good Neighbours (SIGN), along with Yorkton’s Social Housing Committee commissioned a report to assess homelessness in Yorkton. The report was completed in June of 2021, and reached the following conclusions in the executive summary: “The data provided evidence that the hardto-house and homelessness issue in Yorkton is worsening, and a solution is needed to correct the path.” One recommendation of the report reads: “input emergency shelter options that are all-inclusive”, “prioritize sup-
ports addressing mental health”, “address the largest barriers of homelessness” and “foster community partnerships that provide supports for those at risk of homelessness,” noted a fundraising letter circulated regarding the project. In October of 2021, Prairie Harvest Employment Program connected with Yorkton’s Social Housing Committee and began working on a plan to develop the low barrier emergency shelter. The living quarters for the temporary shelter are under construction now, and it is hoped they will be open for use in July. The shelter area will have 10 to 15 beds, and will be open to anyone needing a place to sleep safely on a temporary basis, and provided they are not a risk, for example are violent. The facility will be staffed 24/7.

“Outstanding dedication and commitment to doing something like that,” said Propp. This is Propp’s second notable award of the year, having accepted the Business Leader of the Year award from the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce at the Celebrate Success Awards in April.

Todd Baptiste of Cando, Sask. is a veteran of the CPCA circuit.
A look at chuckwagon racing from a veteran’s eye By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer When the chuckwagons take to the Yorkton Exhibition track this weekend Todd Baptiste will be looking to continue the consistent runs he made in 2021 when he was the high point driver in the Canadian Professional Chuckwagon Association. Baptiste is certainly ready for the new CPCA arriving for the Pro Tour Yorkton Classic presented by the Yorkton Tribal Council with four chuckwagons for him and his brother, and 27 horses. He explained 16 horses will run each show on the wagons, eight more are for the outriders who race with their wagons, and three horses are along just in case an extra is required. It’s a lot of horses to get ready for a new season – a half dozen remained at home as back-ups if needed over the season -- especially in a year when
winter was reluctant to leave to allow for training. “It was a bit late. In my perfect world I was probably 10 days late to start this spring,” said the driver from Cando, Sask. in an interview with Yorkton This Week Thursday. “. . .You always want to have a solid spring training and stay away from injuries.” But, the missed days haven’t proven too much of an issue on the eve of the first CPCA event of 2022. “I’m happy where my horses are at for this weekend,” said Baptiste. That includes Baptiste breaking in a few new horses. “All four of them are doing really well,” he said, adding they are fitting in nicely with the existing teams he assigned them too. Baptiste said it’s not always the case where new horses, almost always bought off the thoroughbred race circuit, fits into a chuckwagon team, and
most that do still take time to adjust to the new form of racing. Horses off the racetrack usually come to chuckwagon racers when they are three or four years old and aren’t making the strides in that form of racing their trainers want. “There are so many up and coming horses,” said Baptiste adding as a result a lot of young stock gets moved to chuckwagons. Typically, new horses start as outrider mounts, and then five or six are transitioned to a wagon team, said Baptiste. It takes the time for new horses to get used to chuckwagon racing. “I don’t like to start any horses under five. When they’re three or four they’re still too young for that sort of pressure (on a wagon team),” said Baptiste. “... There’s a lot to adjust to for the horses from the track to the wagon business.” Once happy in a chuckwagon team a horse can run for 10-15 years.
“That’s the second life they get in terms of racing in their careers,” said Baptiste, adding with age some horses get better, other plateau, but can still be solid on a team. While the horses originate from thoroughbred tracks, once on chuckwagon teams, drivers will look to upgrade their string of horses buying from competitors. “There’s always lot of dealing going on behind the barns,” said Baptiste, adding that is especially true when a new season with new horses starts. It’s all part of the sport business Baptiste has been involved in for years. He started as an outrider for Edgar Baptiste as a 15-year-old, and has now been driving wagons for 22 years. Baptiste said the sport tends to be very family-oriented, with him being a second generation racer and younger brother Ryan Baptiste driving too. “It’s a good lifestyle,” he said.

You need to apply some caution whenever you hear about how government should be run like a business. However, there are some similarities and common principles when it comes to hiring and promotion. Like in business, we need the right combination of experience, intelligence, talent and enthusiasm when we are hiring our managers in government to run things. This should be the things any premier is thinking about when he shuffles his cabinet, along with who possesses the best people skills. But the added problem is premiers have a talent pool from which to choose that’s limited to those in government caucus. Furthermore, premiers must adhere to regional and gender considerations. With that in mind, pity the limited choices Premier Scott Moe had to make in his comparatively large caucus. Framing his cabinet selection around Saskatchewan’s “never before opportunity” for growth and global exports, Moe stuck with pretty much the same cabinet as he had. Added to cabinet were Jeremy Cockrill (The Battlefords) as highways minister replacing Fred Bradshaw and Dana Skoropad (Arm River) as environment minister replacing Warren Kaeding Jim Reiter gets the plum Minister of Energy job, replacing Bronwyn Eyre who become the Minister of Justice and Attorney General. Former justice minister Gordon Wyant moves to Advanced Education while former advanced education minister Gene Makowsky moves to social services minster to replace Lori Carr who becomes Minister of SaskBuilds, Procurement, Minister Responsible for the Public Service Commission, and Minister Responsible for Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority. Ten of the remaining 18 ministers stay where they were: Donna Harpauer, Deputy Premier and Finance; Don Morgan, Crown Investments Corporation responsible for SaskEnergy, SGI, SaskPower, SaskTel, SaskGaming and SaskWater plus Labour; Dustin Duncan, Education; Christine Tell, Corrections, Policing and Public Safety; Jeremy Harrison, Trade and Export Development; David Marit, Agriculture; Paul Merriman, Health; Don McMorris; Government Relation and First Nations, Métis and Northern Affairs; Laura Ross, Minister of Parks, Culture and Sport, and; Everett Hindley, Mental Health and Addictions, Seniors and Rural and Remote Health. Meanwhile, 11 backbenchers get added legislative secretarial duties including Lyle Stewart (assigned to the premier and responsible for provincial autonomy); David Buckingham (SaskTel and SGI); Doug Steele (SaskPower and SaskEnergy) Todd Goudy (education); Ken Francis (trade and export); Terry Dennis (Ukraine Relations); Alana Ross (forestry); Daryl Harrison (value-added agriculture and livestock engagement); Jim Lemaigre (mental health addictions seniors ad rural and remote health); Terry Jenson (social services) and; Marvin Friesen (parks, culture and sport). That veterans with cabinet experience like Steven Bonk and Ken Cheveldayoff were left out seems a little strange. Similarly strange is the mandate Moe gave Eyre to “defend Saskatchewan interests” even if that means “we are going to have to use the Constitution to do it we will.” Former justice minister Gord Wyant has studied constitutional law and surely has more legal experience. Or is this shuffle about something other than getting the best people in the right positions to do the best job possible? It’s no small coincidence that Moe and this government are taking heat from those supporting Nadine Wilson’s new United Party for not taking the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s federal government to the courts on COVID-19 restrictions. Much of that fight may be over, but it just might be that small parties on the right are beginning to chip away at the Sask. Party base. Also by small coincidence, new cabinet ministers Cockrill and Skoropad represent ridings where rightwing discontent with this Sask. Party government has been very vocal. One would hope cabinet selection would be strictly limited to qualifications, but such hiring sometimes doesn’t work that way in politics. Sometimes, cabinet shuffles are about making a political statement. For Moe, this cabinet shuffle may be one of those times when it’s also about the politics.

Flags symbol of change at school I
f you haven’t visited Yorkton Regional High School in a few years you might find the school has a different ‘feel’ than it did even a decade ago. It is quite obvious from the moment you walk toward the main doors that the school has made a definite effort to show itself as an inclusive place for students. That is seen immediately by the permanent multi-coloured Pride flag on the front of the school. The idea for the flag came from student Kaitlyn Kelly, who noted in November 2021 when the flag was unveiled she was “sitting on the bus going in front of the school. I thought it would be so cool to have the Pride flag with all the other flags.” Kelly wanted a permanent flag pole because YRHS was an inclusive school 365 days a year. It might not seem so important, but the flag on the front wall of the school is very much a symbol for students to be accepting of others which of course is a crucial step in building an inclusive society not just in school, but beyond the walls of the schools as well. Now YRHS has unveiled a second flag which again is very much a symbol of understanding and acceptance. Last week a Survivor’s Flag was hung in the hallway just outside the doors of the Anne Portnuff Theatre at the Yorkton Regional High School. (See related story Page A1).
The location was selected so that the flag, as a symbol of the process of reconciliation in Yorkton, will be visible not just to students but to the community as they visit the school, said Kendra Helfich, one of the people who began the process to get a flag for the school. The flag hung last week was originally conceived during summer 2021, after the discoveries of massive unmarked graves found on the grounds of former residential schools sparked heartfelt responses of mourning throughout Canada and from across the globe, noted the NCTR website. According to the NCTR webpage; “the Survivors’ Flag is an expression of remembrance, meant to honour residential school survivors and all the lives and communities impacted by the residential school system in Canada. Each element depicted on the flag was carefully selected by survivors from across Canada, who were consulted in the flag’s creation. Again a piece of cloth hanging on a wall in a school hallway may not seem all that significant, but it is very much a symbol for students and visitors as a reminder of the importance we all work toward for better understanding and reconciliation. The two flags, both installed in the past seven months certainly shows in a very direct way that the YRHS of today is working to make the school an accepting place for all, ideals we can only hope the students embrace and take forward to adulthood.

Weekly fun from YBID The first June Days event of the month took place in downtown Yorkton last Thursday.The weekly event for the month is an initiative of YBID, which has planned themed activities set for City Central Park every Thursday of the month. The event this week had a Canadian theme with people encouraged
to wear red and white as they attended the activities which included the Pig Truck Foods, whack-a-mole game, face painting, rides on a vintage fire truck and entertainment by the Reflections (Ray Sedley and Norm Sharp). Up next will be a Philippines-themed Thursday, set for June 9.
Former NHLer from area honoured Courtesy of Canora Courier Cliff Koroll, originally from a Donwell area farm near Canora, will be inducted into the Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame during a ceremony in Yorkton on June 24. The induction salutes Koroll’s productive 11-year career in the NHL with the Chicago Blackhawks. The son of John and Irene Koroll, he moved to Saskatoon with his family at the age of three when his father took a new job. But Cliff has never forgotten his roots. “Years later I took my kids to look at our old farmhouse,” he recalled. “They couldn’t believe I lived in a little tworoom house like that, there were four kids and two parents. Another sister was born later in Saskatoon.” In 2004 Koroll returned to Canora to play in a fun hockey tournament with a number of friends and relatives. He said being inducted in the Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame is a great honour. “Look at some of the past inductees, Gordie
Howe was my childhood hero,” said Koroll. “Keith Magnusson was my teammate in Denver and again with the Blackhawks. Murray Armstrong, who was from Regina, recruited me and was my coach at the University of Denver.” Koroll gives a lot of credit for his success in hockey to his older brothers Bill, Bruce and Ron. “They built a rink for me. I started skating at three, they took me out and played hockey with me, as well as other sports. They helped me become a good all-round athlete, I give them a lot of credit for making it to the NHL. I loved skating around, shooting the puck, playing with my friends. We’d play street hockey if we couldn’t get on ice. My parents never had to worry where I was.” Organized hockey wasn’t available to Koroll in Saskatoon until he was 10 years old, when he started playing about 15 games per season. “I played 60 games in four years, many kids today play 60 games by Christmas. But we played street hockey or on backyard rinks, that was how we built up our skills.”
Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame Inductee In those days, playing organized hockey was a privilege that had to be earned. “For those four years in the Kinsmen peewee hockey league, each kid had a citizenship card. Before each game, I had to have it signed by a Sunday school teacher, a school teacher, a parent, and a Kin club
member. We had to have their approval before we could play. This taught us about responsibility, good behaviour, commitment, things that helped you through life.” The highlights of Koroll’s hockey career are available at the saskhockeyhalloffame.ca website. Cliff Koroll burst

onto the Saskatchewan hockey scene playing for the Midget ‘A’ Saskatoon Wesley’s. Koroll helped the team win a provincial championship in 1961-62 and was also a major factor in the Wesley’s 196364 Juvenile ‘A’ provincial championship. Koroll would continue his hockey career as a player for the University of Denver Pioneers. During Koroll’s senior year at Denver, he would be named team captain in addition to being named to the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s All-Star team. Koroll’s pro-career dream became a reality when he signed with the Chicago Blackhawks following his college years. He was sent to the minor-league team in Dallas where he would win the Central Hockey League championship title in 1968-69. The following season, Koroll was called up to the Chicago Blackhawks where he scored 18 goals and added 19 assists for 37 points. Koroll, who was considered one of the most consistent wingers during his career, skated in 814 regularseason games scoring
208 goals and 462 points. He also registered five 20-goal campaigns in the NHL including a careerhigh 33 goals in 1972-73. During his career, Koroll played in 85 Stanley Cup playoff games, adding 19 goals and 29 assists. Koroll helped lead the Blackhawks to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1971 and 1973, losing both times to the Montreal Canadiens. Upon retiring from the NHL in 1979-80, Koroll would make the switch to coaching. Koroll served as an assistant coach for the Chicago Blackhawks for the 1980-84 and 198587 seasons. During the 1984-85 season, Koroll served as head coach for the Milwaukee Admirals, Chicago’s International Hockey League affiliate team. Koroll’s play and dedication would be highlighted on numerous occasions, including inductions into the Saskatoon Sports Hall of Fame (1991), the Chicago Sports Hall of Fame (1997), University of Denver Hall of Fame (2003), Illinois Hockey Hall of Fame (2010) and the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame (2015), concluded the website information.

Ah the memories of summers past The chuckwagons ran in Yorkton on the weekend, which had me at the grandstand camera in-hand taking photos for Yorkton This Week. That is not particularly interesting as an isolated assignment – one of many spanning more than three decades now – but the locale for the event is of significance for this writer. The Yorkton Exhibition grounds not surprisingly have been a rather significant part of covering events through the years for Yorkton This Week but my memories go farther back than my time as a
journalist. I grew up attending summer fairs around the province showing stock. It was my summer camp I suppose, and I loved it. By this time in June I’d be counting the days to the first event of the summer, a day that would have only been matched in terms of expectation by the annual flight of Santa himself. So, as I watched the first chuckwagons cutting the barrels a thought or three of memories popped into my mind. It was also a case
Agriculture THIS WEEK
Calvin Daniels of looking at the filled seats in the grandstand and appreciating how people were out being together after two years of COVID-19 cancelling events and keeping people at home. As a kid I’m not sure how I would have reacted – OK so I
would have sulked in my room – had dad had to tell me there would be no summer fairs because of some ‘bug’ I doubt I would have fully understood in my earliest years. That in a pre-Internet world I would not have
fully understood what a pandemic was is not so startling when you consider in a world of freeflowing information in an instant people still balked at the threat in spite of the death of many, and complained about undertaking even the simplest of precautions such as wearing a mask. Still, there is no denying there seems a pent up desire to get out with other people. And, for kids – for example those in 4-H – the expectation of regional shows or summer camps has to have many marking the days
of June off their calendars in heady expectation. That was all part of just standing at the track fence and observing, and yes I found myself longing to again be only weeks from a summer attending fairs showing livestock, riding bumper cars and occasionally eating candy floss. Alas, those days are long gone, as much as I might wish for a return to Connaught Fair, or Shand, or Golburn, but the memories remain and I envy those still making them driving chuckwagons or showing 4-H steers.
Seeding far behind average in east-central region SASKTODAY.ca Staff EAST-CENTRAL SASKATCHEWAN — Wet conditions have further delayed seeding in the East-Central Saskatchewan Crop Region. Some producers have just started their after waiting weeks for their fields to dry up and for the rain to stop. Seeding is at 50 per cent complete, which is well behind the five-year average (2017-2021) for this time of year of 89 per cent. Most of the progress in the region is in west half where less rain has been received over the past few weeks. Within the east-central region, 83 per cent of the lentil acres, 81 per cent of field peas, 79 per cent of the durum, 51 per cent spring wheat, 48 per cent of barley, 43 per cent of canola, 36 per cent of flax and 31 per cent of oats have been seeded to date. The Insinger and Esterhazy areas received more than 40 mm of rain over the past week, preventing many producers from continuing their field work. The Melville area received the next highest amount with 32 mm, the Foam
Lake area 30 mm and the Earl Grey area 10 mm. While the rain is helping the soils and grass across the region recover from last years drought it would be appreciated by producers if the rain would halt so they could finish up their seeding operations quickly. Earlier seeded crops are emerging slowly, and their growth has been delayed due to cool temperatures and excessive moisture. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 35 per cent surplus, 63 per cent adequate, two per cent short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as 20 per cent surplus, 71 per cent adequate, five per cent short and four per cent very short. The majority of the crops are in good to fair condition. Most of the crop damage this week is due to flooding, wind and flea beetles. Provincial Overview Producers in the west are nearly wrapped up with seeding while many in the east are still behind due to rain delays and extremely wet fields. Currently, 76 per cent of the crop acres in the province have been seeded, up from 52 per cent last week but
still well behind the five-year average (2017-2021) of 93 per cent. Producers in the southeast and east central regions have reported that many low laying areas will go unseeded this year due to standing water. Ninety-seven per cent of the crop is seeded in the southwest, 95 per cent in the west-central, 93 per cent in the northwest, 64 per cent per cent in the southeast, 60 per cent in the northeast and 50 per cent in the east-central region. Provincially, 96 per cent of lentils and chickpeas, 93 per cent of field peas, 91 per cent of durum, 79 per cent of canary seed, 75 per cent of spring wheat, 69 per cent of barley, 66 per cent of canola, 65 per cent of flax and 51 per cent of oats have been seeded to date. A large weather system covered much of the eastern part of the province this past week, resulting in significant amounts of rain for those regions. The Moosomin area received 92 mm, the Stoughton area 89 mm, the Bienfait area 65 mm and the Esterhazy area 42 mm. The west received some rain over the past week, but amounts were small,
ranging from three mm to 12 mm. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 16 per cent surplus, 56 per cent adequate, 19 per cent short and nine per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as seven per cent surplus, 60 per cent adequate, 19 per cent short and 14 per cent very short. Western regions are least favourable for moisture while more favourable conditions are reported in the east. Crop conditions this week range from good to fair across the province. Emergence has been reported to be slow in areas of the southwest and west-central where moisture is lacking. In the southeast and east-central, however, emergence has been slow due to cool weather and an overabundance of moisture. Most crop damage this week was from flooding, drought, flea beetles and gophers. Now that seeding has wrapped up for many producers, they are busying spraying in-crop herbicides, assessing germination and emergence, scouting for early season pests and moving cattle to pasture.
Ag minister welcomes lifting of China ban on canola By John Cairns, SASKTODAY.ca REGINA — Saskatchewan’s agriculture minister is among those welcoming the news that China has ended
the three-year ban on Canadian canola. It’s “very good news,” said Agriculture Minister AGRDavid Marit to reporters at the legislature last Thursday. “It’s good news for the farmers, good news for the province and good news for the industry,” said Marit. Both Richardson and Viterra had their licenses for access to China reinstated last week. Global Affairs Canada made the announcement in a statement from Mary Ng, minister of International Trade,
Export Promotion, Small Business and Economic Development, and Marie-Claude Bibeau, minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, last Wednesday. “Canada has been advised that China has reinstated access to its market for two Canadian companies that China customs had suspended from exporting canola seed to China since March 2019. “We welcome this decision to remove the restrictions and immediately reinstate the two companies to allow them to export Canadian canola seeds.

Parkland 18U AAA Expos split pair By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Parkland 18U AAA Expos hosted a doubleheader Sunday, splitting the action against the East Central Red Sox. In the opener Chaz Jaeb, who was credited with the win, combined with Landon Burkell for a 5-0 win. Jaeb went six and a third inning, allowing five hits and striking out a quintet. Burkell finished the
game inducing a double play ball to end the contest. Ashtyn Shields went 2-for-4 at the plate to lead the Expos, as well as stealing two of the nine bases the team stole in the game. The second game of the doubleheader was less kind to the Expos who fell 9-4. The Expos led 2-1 after the first inning, and were tied 4-4 after three, but then the Red Sox scored two unanswered in the fifth, added one in
the sixth and two in the seventh for the win. Burkell was tagged with the loss for the Expos going two and twothirds innings allowing three runs on one hit and striking out a pair. Shields again went 2-for-4 to lead the Expos at the plate. The Expos travel Tuesday to face the Athletics, then host the Wolfpack at Pirie Field in Melville Thursday and the Broncos in Yorkton at Jubilee Park Saturday at 12 noon.
A home pair netted one win for the Expos.

Rockets blast-off to hot start By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Action is under way for the Rhein Rockets. The Richardson Pioneer Men’s Fastball League season started Friday with Rhein on the road to face the Rosebud Royals. Veteran pitcher Terry Peppler added another win to his extensive resume, while James Holowaty took the loss for the Royals. The Rocket bats were hot in the season opener with Evan Neibrandt, Adam Neibrandt, and Evan Markham all hitting home runs for Rhein as part of the 7-2 win. Scott Comfort hit a home run for Rosebud. The Rockets traveled to Ituna Sunday to play a doubleheader against the Wynyard Blues. In the first half of the doubleheader,
an 8-1 Rockets win Brayden Stewart was the winning pitcher while adding an inside-the-park home run to help his own cause. Michael Jordan took the loss for the Blues. It was more of the same in game two as Brayden Stewart earned another win, this time by a 12-4 margin. Wynyard’s Colin McLeod was tagged with the loss. Evan Neibrandt helped the Rockets offence with a home run in the first inning and then launched a second round-tripper in the fourth. Dave Renkas added a homer of his own for Rhein, his coming in the third inning. Keanen Gynp and Terry Peppler both went 3-for-3 at the plate and scored two runs each for the Rockets. Rhein heads back to Ituna Saturday, June 11 for a doubleheader against the Rosebuds.

Sask rider excited by new PBR teams When it comes to sport development the PBR has proven itself rather adept at building ‘the brand’ of bull riding. Certainly, bull riding has always been the premier element of rodeos, although I suspect there are saddle bronc riders, barrel racers and others who might take exception to that view. Still bull riders usually finish a rodeo as the highlight of the show. So back in 1992 a group of 20 riders came up with the idea of shows with only bulls, and the PBR was born.
In the time since its founding PBR has become if not exactly a major sport when measured against football, baseball of stock car racing, at least a sport organization many have heard of. According to PBR. com there are now more than 500 bull riders from around the world including the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada and Mexico who hold PBR memberships, and events are shown on major networks such as CBS in the U.S. and TSN in Canada.
CALVIN DANIELS
Sports The success has been in large part because the PBR has always been innovative. They have married the product to key advertising brands. They have taken their
Whiskers & Tails
events to what would not have been thought of US markets for rodeo, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York among them. And the PBR has changed how events are held, for example the PBR Global Cup pitting teams from the five big bull riding nations against each other in a team event setting. And, now PBR is tak-
ing the idea of team versus team bull riding a step farther announcing recently the PBR Team Series, a new team-format league complementing its successful Unleash The Beast premier tour. The PBR Team Series, which will span June to November 2022 in its inaugural season, following the May conclusion of the Unleash The Beast, is launching with eight founding teams playing a 10-game regular season culminating in a team playoff. One of those teams is the Austin Gamblers, a team Canadian PBR fans are likely to flock too inpart because the Outlaws selected two-time world champion Jose Vitor Leme with the first pick
in the PBR draft. And of greater importance here in Canada, Griffin Smeltzer of Claresholm, Alta, and Abbey, Sask. rider Blake Smith have signed as free agents with the Outlaws. Smith said the team concept appeals to him. “I think it’s just awesome. I played hockey all my life and loved the team aspect,” the 20-yearold told Yorkton This Week. “I’m just thrilled.” For Smith, who is in only his second year – his top finish was at the Lloydminster PBR Winter Classic last December – being part of a team will be a chance to learn, starting with sage advice Michael Gaffney who will coach the Outlaws.

MATSYK – Nathleen Matsyk, formerly of Yorkton passed away on May 25, 2022 at St. Paul’s Lutheran Home, Melville, holding the hands of her two surviving children, David and Jackie. Nathleen was born on June 15, 1930 to Anna and Alec Bodnar on a homestead in Wroxton, Saskatchewan. She excelled at school but, like many people of her generation, she was pulled out of school after grade 6 to work on the family farm. Nathleen had many interesting stories of working on the farm, including describing the dreaded chore of making lye soap. Her life was shaped by the Great Depression and Nathleen was hard working, resourceful and self sufficient – qualities she passed on to her children. Nathleen married James Matsyk and had three children, David, Audrey and Jackie. Nathleen was also a loving foster mom to many children with developmental disabilities, including Murray and Shelley, who lived with her for over 40 years. Nathleen loved gardening. She filled her front yard with colourful flowers that made people in cars slow down for a look. Her back yard was filled with vegetables and fruits to feed her family and people in need. Nathleen was extremely generous. She donated substantially to the churches in Yorkton, Wroxton and Calder. Nathleen gave the use of her land to the Canadian Food Grain Bank, with the harvest providing food for people in less fortunate countries. Smaller acts of generosity included feeding tenants who often arrived at meal time with wonderful home cooking, and providing food to take home. She also paid for the funerals for tenants who did not have anyone to provide this service for them. She was a wonderful cook and her children still miss her perogies, donuts and pies. Nathleen is predeceased by her parents , brothers (Nick and Steve), her husband (James) and daughter (Audrey), foster children (Rose and Tricia) and good friend (Andy). She is survived by her children David (Rose) and Jackie (Lesley), grandchildren Jamie and Nikki (Nathan), great-grandchildren Jude, Lucy and Lilly, sister Christine, and foster children Shelley and Murray. Prayers will be held on Thursday, June 9, 2022 at 7:00 pm and the Funeral Liturgy on Friday, June 10, 2022 at 10:00 am at St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Yorkton with Rev. Father Yevhen Zadorozhnyi, C.Ss.R. as the Celebrant. Serving as cross bearer will be Terry Hirt, epistle reader will be Lesley Curtis. The interment will take place at St. Elias Cemetery in the Wroxton District with Nathan Montgomery serving as the urn bearer. Memorial donations in Nathleen’s memory may be made to SIGN as gifts of remembrance. Condolences to the family can be posted at baileysfuneralhome.com

PLAN NUMBER 1-3549B DRAMATIC ARCHED TRANSOM ENTRY Sweeping roof lines, a dramatic arched transom entry and a smooth stucco exterior contribute to the sophisticated appeal of this compact, open-plan home. Inside the covered entrance, the large foyer presents a view of the great room with its appealing corner fireplace – just part of an exceptional family area that has all the elements necessary for today’s casual lifestyle.

Junior hockey included lots of travel, and school wasn’t a priority. So players had all their eggs in one basket, and were usually not prepared for life outside of hockey. My brothers influenced me to go to the University of Denver. We won the NCAA championship my senior year

The next year Keith Magnusson was captain and they won it again.” When he made the Blackhawks roster for the 1969/70 season, Koroll had the unforgettable experience of playing his first game at the old Chicago Stadium. “It’s the most nervous I’ve ever been.

College players were rare in the NHL at the time, and Chicago had three college graduates make the team: Koroll, former Denver teammate Keith Magnusson, and Tony Esposito of Michigan Tech. Koroll said his time at the University of Denver definitely helped him in the NHL. “I was big enough, six feet, 196 pounds, skating ability was there, but my biggest strength was defensive play. That was from the way Murray Armstrong coached us- defence first, then offence. Stan Mikita was the centre on our line and my road roommate for 10 years, I learned a lot from him.” After his playing
days, Koroll stayed with the Blackhawks in various positions including coaching, the front office, and community relations. “But after 21 years with Chicago, I wanted to use my college degree for something outside of hockey,” said Koroll. “I worked with Cargill for 21 years. They had a McDonalds business unit that supplied products such as beef, chicken, eggs and cooking oil made from canola oil to McDonalds restaurants worldwide.” Towards the end of his time with Cargill he started fundraising for Ronald McDonald House and other charities, and has raised millions in that capacity. Koroll is president of the Blackhawks Alumni Association, which provides scholarships to high school hockey players in the state of Illinois. Each

Continued from Page A10 “I can’t wait to get him videos of my riding,” said Smith who also competed in Yorkton last November. It’s the same thing being on a team with someone like Vitor Leme. Who Smith said “will hopefully show” younger team members some of the things that have made him the best. Smith also expects fans to like the team concept. He said when he was playing hockey fans liked wearing the home team’s jersey and he expects PBR fans to be the same. For Smith being part of the inaugural edition of the Outlaws will be another step on a very new career, a career he said he has always wanted. “I watched it for as long as I can remember,” he said. And he recalls a mutton busting ride as a youngster where he made it around the arena when most fell almost immediately. The dismount had him landing on a stone, his hip left throbbing, but he still was thrilled by the

Looking back, Koroll recognizes that hockey has played a big role in his success both on and off the ice. “Hockey taught me things like hard work, desire, and relationship building. Lessons I learned as a hockey player certainly helped in the business world. I wouldn’t have had the success I had outside of hockey, including getting a degree and the transition into the business world, if I didn’t have hockey,” Koroll concluded.
ride. “As soon as I was old enough I was steer riding at my local rodeos,” he said, adding he was hooked. “I couldn’t believe how much I fell in love with it.” So turning pro was natural, something Smith said he wants to take as far as he can, while making some money along the way too. To get better you of course need to ride bulls and lots of them. “One hundred per cent, I’m always looking to improve myself,” said Smith, who went as far as to buy four bulls and set up a facility at home to practice. Of course, in Canada minus 40 weather in winter tends to limit ride options, so Smith called fellow Canuck Smeltzer to ask whether he should venture south to compete. The answer was a big yes. “So I loaded up my truck and 25 hours later I was in Texas,” said Smith, adding for the last four months “I’ve been getting on bulls all over the U.S.. It’s been the best four months of my life. I’ve loved every minute of it.”

RCMP officer living her dream By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer When Cst. Jennifer Dowden applied to join the RCMP she had a dream. “I actually joined the Mounties to do this,” said Dowden in Yorkton this weekend as a member of the famed RCMP Musical Ride. “I wanted to help people and do all the different police things … But I wanted to do the musical ride,” she said, adding the “Musical Ride is unique to the RCMP.” The desire to ride with the RCMP was a bit unusual given Dowden’s background. “I really didn’t have a whole lot of experience with horses,” she told Yorkton This week Friday. Dowden pointed out owning a horse can be an expensive proposition, and growing up in Newfoundland, one of three children with a single mother riding wasn’t an activity she took part in. “It’s a bit of a mystery where the passion for horses came from,” she said, but added she knew it was something she needed to pursue. “Sometimes you just follow your gut.” So Dowden joined the force, and waited for her chance to try-out to join the Musical Ride. Was the wait worth it? Is being part of the ride what she dreamed? “That and more,” she said, a smile flashing on her face, adding when she was initially accepted “it was a very emotional thing for me.” Dowden spent four
years with the ride initially, then went back to more traditional policing albeit not all in Canada. Still with the RCMP she spent time working with the U.S. Coast Guard, then it was off to Haiti and Columbia. But, her heart remained with the horses and the Musical Ride, so when she had the opportunity to take a spot again in 2018 it was easy to say yes. “I’d be happy to retire in the unit now,” she said. While policing on the water with the Coast Guard and in different countries was interesting, Dowden said when she compares things “horses win.” “I feel very lucky to be able to follow my passion to do what I love at work,” she said. There have been some perks for Dowden as a rider. Earlier this year she was one of five sent to Britain to help celebrate the Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II. “While there we rode horses gifted to the Queen by the RCMP over the years,” she said, adding they acted as escorts to members of the Royal Family for the event each day, including the Queen herself on the final night of the event in May. It was the highlight of Dowden’s career. “So far. I don’t think I can top that,” she said, adding she was with the Musical Ride when the entire group attended the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee to perform. “We rode to the three tenors that sang for us, so that was mind-blowing as well,” she said.
Cst. Jennifer Dowden and her musical ride mount Maple in the barns in Yorkton.
But this time it was more intimate in a sense. “We stayed at the castle,” said Dowden adding “it was surreal … I’m staying in Queen Elizabeth’s castle and riding her horse.” In fact, one day they were riding and the Queen was at a window waving. It was the sort of experience which validated Dowden’s dream from years earlier. “My heart and soul told me to do this. I don’t know why … but this is what all the hard work was for,” she said. At the same time being a rider has not been easy.
“It was incredibly challenging,” said Dowden, adding the initial five-week course to see if officers have the aptitude to be a rider “was the hardest thing I ever did.” The six-months to become an RCMP member “was very intense,” said Dowden, but she added she found that five-week course more difficult. “It was so important to me as an individual,” she said, adding that likely added to her stress. Of course the officer from Newfoundland had a lot to learn about horses.
“No, I didn’t take to it like a duck to water. It was a lot of blood sweat and tears,” she said, adding looking back that makes the experience all the more rewarding. “It’s what makes it more special. It was really challenging. It was really hard to dig down and do what I had to do to be successful.” Now, back where she wants to be, Dowden is a veteran with a group that this year has a lot of new riders and new horses who are out touring for the first time. Both horses and riders have to get used to life on the road, time in trail-
ers between communities, living in different stables for the animals and hotels for the riders. In some ways Yorkton is the initial step on a journey of learning for the 24 riders and 28 horses and it is the first of 10 stops in Saskatchewan before heading back to Ontario for a trip through that province, into Quebec and onto the Maritimes. And, Dowden looks forward to helping the younger generation grow into the Musical Ride. “I feel this should be a career highlight for everybody who experiences it,” she said.

Not everything that looks alive, lives We have plenty of trees in our backyard, but none out front. Our dining room window has a front view, and as we share meals, I miss seeing the occasional bird perching in branches. So late last fall, on a day the wind had almost licked the last leaf from the tangled bushes bordering our children’s acreage, I lopped off several goodsized branches to put in two large black flowerpots near the dining room window. “They’ll look beautiful with lights at Christmas,” I told my young helper. We hauled them home, and together filled the pots with small stones to prop up the branches. Then we
strung dual strings of battery-powered lights. With timers. Six hours on, eighteen off. Perfect. “Your trees look awesome,” a neighbour said. They pleased us too. Winter descended quickly. I soon discovered that light strings powered by batteries, even lights advertised for outdoors, don’t work long in a Saskatchewan winter. Weeks before Christmas, I ripped the strings off and never replaced them. Even undecorated, the bare branches looked good. I intended to remove the branches this spring. Dump out the stones, fill the pots with soil and plant flowers instead. But something strange

Sunny Side Up changed my mind. “Your branches look like they have buds,” my neighbour mentioned. I’d noticed that too. Nubs lined the small twigs, looking suspiciously like new growth. We watched closely. Spring rains kept the pots filled with water and the nubs elongated, eventually pushing out clusters of tiny leaves.
Severed branches can’t live long. But there must have been enough moisture in the parent bushes to give the branches a start. With the addition of rainwater, they made a valiant effort to stay alive. They even fooled the birds. A few days ago, a sparrow perched on a twig end, pecking at the soft new growth. Free
while dying inside. But God sees below the surface. God knows if roots are strong and thriving, if a person really lives. Roots developed through strong social connections, relationship with Jesus and knowing God’s Word can keep us strong. But for some, mental illness depletes and starves even those strong roots. Sometimes even Christ followers, like my potted branches, become severed. Cruelly cut by mental dysfunction and Satan’s lies from that which feeds them life. If you feel like the living dead, know that God cares. Others do too. And please, please, talk to someone.
nesting material. As I write, the start of summer sits dead ahead. Strong winds plague the potted branches. They stand gamely, though breeze-bent. Because our persistent prairie gales make tending flowerpots difficult, I’ve decided to keep them for now. I’ve grown attached to their stark beauty, even though I know they can’t live long. Indeed, some of the new growth is already curling. “Our dead branches are blooming,” I told our son-in-law. Then it hit me. Not only dead limbs put on a good show of new growth. Some people, people you and I know and love, can give every indication of life
TV shows can offer inspiration Snow, rain, wind… we’ve had them all in the last few weeks! This has certainly been an unsettled spring. Some of us may not have our gardens planted like we would in a regular year, but we’ll do the best we can. And it will all be okay. There aren’t as many gardening shows on TV as there used to be, but we still have a lot on tape, and one that we always enjoyed was a show called “The Manic Organic”. It was hosted by Antony John, an organic grower near Stratford, Ontario. Not only was he wonderfully entertaining, but he was a passionate gardener, dedicated to organic gardening. In this particular episode, Antony was talking about the beautiful gourmet greens that they grow on their farm. There was a variety of lettuces, like crisp baby romane, and a luscious red oak leaf. My, they looked delicious when he assembled them into a salad with grilled
tomato slices and local goat cheese! But while he was munching on these delightful lettuces as he cut them out in the field, he mentioned something about their “terroir”. Terroir (pronounced “terr-wah”) means “sense of place”, but in gardening language, it means that the place where you are growing something affects how it will taste. So if you grew red oak leaf lettuce in your garden, and we grew it in ours, it might not taste the same because of the different characteristics in our soils. The idea of terroir originated in French winemaking, because growers realized that wines from various regions or even various regions of the same vineyard had distinct flavors. All kinds of factors came into play: the composition of the soil, what slope the vines were planted on, how much rain they had. These factors make wines from a certain region unique; that
DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
Gardener’s Notebook even if someone planted the same grapes and made the wine the exact same way somewhere else, it would not taste the same. Winemakers carefully reserve the right to protect the kind of wine they make in their area because of terroir. So that’s an interesting factoid. For gardeners, then, terroir means that our vegetables will taste better if we do all we can to enhance where they grow. I’m sure that at some point in your life, you tasted a fresh tomato or a crisp cucumber that was absolutely bursting with flavor, and much more delicious than you had
ever tasted before. Did you wonder why that was? To me, the starting point is healthy soil. Adding nutrient-rich organic matter to your soil, and keeping it free of chemicals, is bound to result in a better soil, and better taste in your veggies. They draw in what exists in the soil, so you want it to be the best that it can be! As we have shared cups of tea in the past, we have often talked about the value of compost, and yes, I’m going to say it again! The soil in our gardens needs replenishing to make it as rich and fertile as we want it to be; that means adding compost. Making compost
is the very complicated (not!) process of saving organic matter, helping it to break down, and adding it back to the soil. You can make compost in an ice cream pail, or in a composter, or in a large bin made of wooden pallets. You can even just bury organic matter ( sometimes called the digand-drop method of composting, or trench-com-
posting) in a trench about ten inches deep in your garden, cover it over, and let Mother Nature do her thing. Whatever method works for you, your soil will thank you.

Red Shirt Day celebrated at Sask Abilities By Tyson Off Staff Writer YORKTON – On Wednesday, June 1, members of the public and employees and participants at Sask Abilities donned red shirts to bring awareness to National AccessAbility Week. “National AccessAbility Week (NAAW), held from May 29 to June 4, 2022, is a time to celebrate the contributions of Canadians with disabilities and promote efforts to increase accessibility and
inclusion in Canada,” read a statement on the Government of Canada’s website. “Red shirt day is organized by Easter Seals Canada,” said Aleks Hoeber, Regional Director of Sask Abilities, adding, “it’s in recognition of achievements and successes of people with disabilities and the contributions that they have made to society and our Canadian culture,” said Hoeber. “I think the reason why it’s so important to recognise today is
that individuals with disabilities over decades have been contributing to society in so many ways,” said Hoeber, “whether it’s through employment, volunteerism, spending their money and contributing to the economy within our society – they have a lot of talents and gifts to bring to our communities, our businesses, and it’s important that we recognize everybody’s talents and the fact that everybody has a gift to contribute.
