Rolling protest

Staff Photo by Calvin Daniels

A number of vehicles rolled down Broadway Street in Yorkton Saturday morning. The cavalcade of semis, half tons and other vehicles were taking part in a local effort that was part of a Farmers Worldwide Slow Roll. The local ‘slowroll’ was one of a number scheduled for cities across Canada today, in solidarity with farmers protesting new government environmental regulations in the

Netherlands. Dutch farmers have been protesting government plans which could require farmers to use less fertilizer and reduce their livestock numbers.

Many of the Yorkton protestors were decked out in flags from Canada and the Netherlands, and honked their horns and waved to people as they made their way down Broadway Street.

NDP leader makes stop in Yorkton; brings attention to health care disruptions

By Tyson Off Staff Writer Saskatchewan New Democratic Party leader and Regina-Lakeview MLA Carla Beck made a stop in Yorkton Wednesday afternoon to talk about service disruptions among health care centres in the province.

Beck addressed members of the press outside of the Yorkton Regional Health Centre.

“Right now, about 37 centres are seeing service disruptions,” said Beck, adding, “we’ve got the microbiology lab that’s been shuttered here for a year.”

The visit was part of

a tour that saw the NDP leader make several stops at different eastcentral health care centres including Melville, Kamsack and Canora.

Beck said that the purpose of the tour was to draw attention to the “domino effect” the service disruptions cause.

“You have centres

around, be it Melville, or Canora or Kamsack – closed – folks have to get in the car and go down the highway to places like Yorkton that are already struggling with some of the same issues; under staffing, over-capacity – and those impacts just keep going down the line.”

“It’s time that we do something about it – we hear from health care workers that they’re feeling demoralized – that they’re tired of working short and that they feel like there’s no light at the end of the tunnel,” said Beck.

“This is the job of leaders to show – not

only that they recognize that there is an issue – but that they get to work and actually start finding some of those solutions,” said Beck.

Beck went on to list some of the concerns her party has heard from the public and from health care workers.

City promotes responsible dog ownership

By Tyson Off Staff Writer Everyone and their dogs were at Wiggly Field Dog Park on Thursday evening to learn about the care that comes with owning the cherished pets.

“Today we’re promoting some responsible dog ownership,” said Jordan Russell,

Special Constable/Community Safety Officer with the City of Yorkton.

Russell was there to answer questions for dog owners and had a laptop onsite to register the pets if their owners were interested in doing so.

“We have a couple slideshows going on with our computer and with our iPad – if you

want to license your dog today or learn a little bit more on how to license,” said Russell, adding, “a lot of people come into the city – they’re unsure if they need to license a dog, so we kind of give them that heads up – it gives people some education on things like that.”

“We try to promote keeping your dogs on a leash – not this

park especially, but we were at Logan Green yesterday, so at a park like that we try and promote people to keep their dogs on a leash,” said Russell.

Russell said that the Bylaw Division has had complaints in the past about people running their dogs without a leash on Logan Green and noted that people aren’t always aware of

the law.

“Outside of designated leash-free areas, we ask that you keep your dog on a leash. This includes the walk to and from the dog parks,” read a statement on the City of Yorkton’s website.

“This is the first time ever that the city has run a program

NDP Continued from Page A1 “Concerns about wait times – ER wait times right across the province is something that we have seen increase, workers continuously working short, lack of access to some of the basics like lab services – for example – used to be able to be taken and processed right here in Yorkton – those samples now need to go to Regina,” said Beck.

“The closures that we’re seeing right now are not because of a lack of facilities – they’re because of a lack of staff – and that really needs to be addressed in an urgent way,” said Beck, adding, “we have mayors and councils, community members, health care workers – all sounding the alarm.”

Beck said the current

state of health care in Saskatchewan needs the attention of leaders.

“This is a system that is in crisis and needs attention – it doesn’t need pointing of fingers, it doesn’t need political messaging, it needs leaders to get to the table and work with those on the front line – work with those who know in these communities – and find those solutions.”

Beck offered ideas for solutions to the current shortage of health care workers.

“One of the biggest things that we’ve been hearing is the lack of availability of permanent full-time positions – so if you’re going to attract health care workers to any centre – but particularly asking people to move or move from location to location – that’s

really difficult to do when what’s posted are less than full-time term positions,” said Beck.

“We need a coordinated health care retention and recruitment plan in this province and that has to be built with communities, with front line workers – and again – has to be met with a kind of urgency that people are feeling,” said Beck.

Beck reiterated how the closure of one health care centre can have a negative effect on the surrounding area.

“We have 37 different facilities in the province right now that have service disruptions...so even if Yorkton right now – other than lab services – doesn’t have disruptions, there’s still impact to the people of this community...because there are closures and service dis-

Beck said that health care workers and communities need a willing partner in the provincial government to enact solutions capable of dealing

with the current issues.

“Some of these solutions come without a lot of additional cost, some of them may require some expenditures, but again – we have a government that’s sitting on

record windfall royalties – this is about choices and right now the government is choosing not to address this issue – not to find those solutions, and it’s simply unacceptable.”

15U AAA Cardinals host doubleheader

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer

Jordan Russell, Special Constable/Community Safety Officer with the City of Yorkton.

DOG Continued from Page A1 such as this, so we want to show our presence, we want people to ask questions – a lot of people always have questions about responsible dog ownership,” said Russell, adding, “a lot of first time pet owners – they’re new to it so they want to have a little bit more knowledge and education on how they can take care of their pet – some of the bylaws regarding animal control and things such as that.”

Russell went on to detail the benefits of licensing the pet.

“The main benefit for registering a dog – getting a license – let’s say that

dog happens to attack something... when we receive a dog attack complaint we want to check to make sure this dog has its shots [to see] if it is a registered dog in the first place,” said Russell, noting, “if it attacks somebody – we have a record – that’s usually the biggest one.”

“If it gets lost we also have records – when we take the licenses, we get the address of the homeowner and the contact information – so let’s say somebody happens to find a loose dog running around downtown [if it] has a collar and a tag we’re able to contact that individual and let them know that a dog was at large,” said Russel.

The Yorkton 15U AAA Cardinals hosted the Regina Wolfpack for a doubleheader Sunday at Jubilee Park.

The Wolfpack were hungry and scored five runs in the top of the first inning to lead early.

The Cardinals managed to get three of those runs back in the homehalf of the first inning, then tied it 5-5 with a pair of runs in the fifth inning.

The sixth inning saw the teams each add one to their total.

Yorkton would then celebrate a walk-off win, when Chase Hembling singled on a 3-2 count, scoring one run in the seventh to earn a 6-5 victory.

Ty Sleeva earned the victory on the mound for Yorkton. He allowed seven hits and six runs over six innings, striking out seven and walking none.

Jackson Bradford threw one inning in relief out of the bullpen.

Aiden Newton took the

loss for Regina. The righthander allowed four hits and five runs over four and two-thirds innings, striking out nine.

Three members of the Wolfpack hit three home runs on the day.

Aiden Newton had a long ball in the sixth inning. Owen Sommerfeld went deep in the first inning. Jake Flichel had a four bagger in the first inning.

The Cardinals recorded 11 hits in the game.

Kaden Pihach, Chase Hembling, and Michael Klus each Had multiple hits, with Pihach going 3-for-4 at the plate.

In game two the Wolfpack again scored in the first inning, this time taking a 2-0 lead.

The teams traded two runs apiece in the third inning, and the Cardinals added one in the fourth to trail 4-3.

The Wolfpack scored one in the fifth to lead 5-3, but the Cardinals plated two in their half of the fifth to knot the score 5-5.

The tie was short-lived as Regina edged ahead with one more run in the

sixth to edge back ahead 6-5.

The Wolfpack then added a huge three in the seventh for a 9-5 lead, which would hold for the final score.

Brydon Newman was the winning pitcher for Regina. He went five and two-thirds innings, allowing five runs on nine hits and striking out five.

Rhett Sommerfeld threw one and one-third innings in relief.

Jackson Bradford started the game for Yorkton. He allowed five hits and five runs over five innings, striking out five.

On a roll The hot and fancy cars and trucks were out Friday evening in Yorkton. The Rolling Thunder Cruisers Car Club held their annual Yorkton Cruise Night.

Cars gathered at Staples and then starting at 7 p.m. began cruising up and down Broadway Street showing over their shiny machines to those gathered in cars and sitting in lawn chairs along the route. The event was sponsored

by Yorkton Staples and the Legacy Co-op Agro Centre. The evening event was a good warm-up for the second annual Tapps Sports Lounge & Grill car show set for Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Distillery wins double gold at world spirits Tyson Off Staff Writer RAMA – Dobrowody Distillery, based out of Rama, was awarded double gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition held on June 24 in San Francisco for their small batch vodka.

“When we started, we thought we were onto something, being that we use some of the best water in the world,” said Tyler Nieckar, who owns Dobrowody Distillery along with Evan Matsalla.

Both who grew up in the Rama area.

The water that Nieckar speaks of comes from the Canora municipal water supply.

“Canora was judged to have the best-tasting municipal water in Canada at the 13th annual international water tasting competition held in 2003 in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, U.S.,” read a Wikipedia article on the town of Canora.

“Third best in the world at that time,” said Neickar.

“We decided, ‘Well, if we think it’s a special vodka, we should send it away’,” said Nieckar,” adding, “we sent it away to our first spirits competition which is one of the five large spirit competitions of the world – the San Fransisco World Spirits Competition.”

Nieckar said that all 40 judges of the competition believed it was a top shelf vodka and awarded them the double gold.

“There is only two vodka distilleries in the country that were awarded that double gold honour,” said Nieckar.

Nieckar said he was confident in the product but was still surprised at the outcome.

“We know we have a good product, but you know how it is – you’re almost over-confident in your product,” said Nieckar, adding, “it was still definitely a surprise because you’re going up

against any other product in the province – whether it be top end brands that are made here like Provincial Vodka or Last Mountain Distillery vodka or Lucky Bastard... you’re also going up against world class spirits like Grey Goose and Belvedere.”

“To come out with that top honour and be one of two in Canada to win that award – and then one of 16 in the world this year – yeah, it was pretty surprising,” said Nieckar.

Neickar said a lot of research went into the award-winning product and took several years of testing different processes in order to achieve the result of the current product.

“We use a few different processes used by different distilleries from around the world with our own twist on it – and that’s where we came up with something special,” said Nieckar.

“We kind of kept testing and testing for a matter of a few years until we came up with a product – about a year of working through our filtration process to get it to the point that we wanted,” said Nieckar, adding, “we’ve been at this testing it and getting the product perfected and getting the process perfected for four years.”

Nieckar said the exposure from the competition has garnered the interest of press and distributors.

“On a global basis there’s been some exposure, but not a whole lot because we haven’t devoted any resources to pushing it out globally

– but we have got recognition from an article written in Forbes which is a large American magazine,” said Nieckar, adding, “we’ve been contacted by about six or seven international distributors to take our product on and distribute it for us.”

Nieckar said that the distillery is feeling the effects of international notoriety in the province.

“In Saskatchewan here, we’ve definitely got more recognition and it’s been great for our brand because – you know there’s so many vodkas on the market it’s hard to know which one to choose, but when you see some credibility linked to a vodka such as our own – you know at the very least it gets people to try it,” said Nieckar.

Nieckar touched on the history of the building that the distillery is located in.

“It’s the old school in Rama,” said Nieckar, adding, “in the late 90s or early 2000s it was purchased by the Co-op from the town.”

“The Co-op had a gas station in there for years and then they shut it down about six years ago, and that’s when we bought it and we started renovating ourselves,” said Nieckar.

“We actually distill out of the same elementary school that myself and Evan first went to,” said Nieckar, “the still sits in the same spot as my desk was when I was in grade one and two.”

Politics It comes around for all governments — that time when voters simply grow tired of blaming today’s problems on governments of the past.

For the last NDP government in Saskatchewan, it was pretty punch 16 years of blaming all existing problems on the structural budget deficit and debt situation left behind by the 1980s Progressive Conservative government.

Admittedly, tough choices were required and one such tough choice was the closing/converting 52 rural hospitals and the Plains Health Centre on the outskirts of Regina.

But this one was a massively unpopular choice.

“I think (then-NDP health minister) Louise Simard should have to ride out of the Big Muddy in the back of a half-ton with a broken back,” one cook at the Radville Hospital told then Leader-Post reporter Bill Doskoch when asked about the impact of those hospital closures.

The rural and even city outrage (we’d spend $100 million renovating the Regina General Hospital as a result) was real. But it wouldn’t be enough to immediately boot New Democrats out of office.

The NDP government would go on to govern for another 14 years of its 16-year tenure — largely, because it was able to blame the hospital closure decision and virtually every other decision it made on former PC premier Grant Devine’s government.

But the frustration and anger never went away — especially in rural Saskatchewan and especially where it was fed by the Saskatchewan Party after it was formed in 1997. This would cost the NDP every rural seat and, eventually, it would cost the NDP power in 2007.

And that hospital closure decision would follow the NDP into opposition.

The blame-game reversed: Instead of the public listening to the NDP blame the past PC government for its choices, the public began to listen to the Sask. Party blame poor health care delivery on the NDP and those 1993 health care delivery choices.

In fact, after four big election wins with more than 50 per cent of the popular that rewarded the government with massive majorities, it seemed to be all this government had to do to stay in power.

But governments can only play the blame game for so long before it starts to work against them.

While for the past 15 years most every attempt by the NDP Opposition to raise health care service issues — especially, rural health care issues — has successfully been met with Sask. Party catcalls about hospital closures, it appears that at least some voters are growing weary of that excuse.

Or so Sask. Party Rural and Remote Health Minister Everett Hindley and Canora-Pelly MLA Terry Dennis recently found out from angry protesters reacting to the closure of emergency services and acute care at the Kamsack Hospital.

“What are you guys going to do to keep the hospital open?” asked one woman, as reported by the Regina Leader-Post’s Jeremy Simes.

“There’s been staff shortages in health care for years and you haven’t been doing a very damn good job,” yelled another protester.

This was hardly manufactured anger from political or vested interests in the health care system.

This was as rural grassroots as it gets. And similar frustrations can be found most everywhere in rural Saskatchewan.

Esterhazy, Preeceville, Canora, Melville, Langenburg, Invermay, Lestock, Norquay and Ituna have all experienced at least temporarily closing lab, X-ray or ECG services or emergency services because of doctor, nurse or technician shortages.

In fact, some 37 rural hospitals are under limited services orders issued by the Saskatchewan Health Authority. And fewer people these days have the time or patience to listen to an excuse that is somehow all tied to NDP government hospital closures three decades ago.

Sure, every government decision is interconnected to another.

But the decisions your government makes are the ones for which your government will eventually be held to account.

Protests important part of our freedoms A ‘slow roll’ protest paraded down Broadway Street in Yorkton Saturday as part of a worldwide effort in support of Dutch farmers.

The local ‘slow-roll’ was one of a number across Canada, to show support for farmers protesting new government environmental regulations in the Netherlands. Farmers there have been protesting government plans which could require farmers to use less fertilizer and reduce their livestock numbers.

The situation in the Netherlands is not unique. Recently, the Saskatchewan and Alberta Ministers of Agriculture expressed disappointment in the federal government’s fertilizer emissions reduction target.

“We’re really concerned with this arbitrary goal,” Saskatchewan Minister of Agriculture David Marit said in a release. “The Trudeau government has apparently moved on from their attack on the oil and gas industry and set their sights on Saskatchewan farmers.”

“This has been the most expensive crop anyone has put in, following a very difficult year on the prairies,” echoed Alberta Minister of Agriculture Nate Horner in the same release. “The world is looking for Canada to increase production and be a solution to global food shortages. The Federal government needs to display that they understand this. They owe it to our producers.”

So the protest here would certainly resonate with farm producers.

Watching the cavalcade of vehicles, most with Canadian or Dutch flags flying, also had to bring about thoughts of how fortunate we are to live in a country with the freedoms we enjoy.

Peaceful protests, and gatherings to educate have a long history in this

country, and certainly in our city.

In the last year alone we have seen; * a First Nations Walk down Broadway Street to foster remembrance and education for residential school survivors. * People have gathered in City Centre Park to show solidarity with people in Ukraine facing an invasion by the Russian military, * while others have gathered in the park to protest what they see as unfair regulations put in place by government in response to the worldwide COVID pandemic, * And, now the slow roll for farmers.

It is a core element of a democracy to allow for people to peacefully gather to have a voice.

It’s why striking workers can carry placards, and why political candidates can hold public rallies, and why protestors can roll down Broadway.

It is at present very trendy for some to suggest we live in some sort of dictatorship, a view largely held by those not supporting the Liberal party in the last federal election.

Of course in a democracy your party doesn’t always win. We should appreciate that in Saskatchewan more than most.

The Conservatives, Reform and Liberal Parties all gave up on their individual philosophies and cobbled together a united right in the Saskatchewan Party for one reason only, to defeat the New Democrats, something as three separate entities they rarely accomplished.

But, one thing has always remained, a freedom to peacefully protest, and the slow roll Saturday was just another example of what we should always cherish as Canadians.

BGC youths plan sale from start to finish

By Tyson Off Staff Writer YORKTON – On the morning and afternoon of the 21, the Boys and Girls Club of Yorkton offered up some ice-cold beverages and sweets to the public for their Lemonade, Iced Tea & Cookie Sale.

The sale happened outside of their club located on Smith Street.

“As a part of our summer day camps, our older youth always take part in youth led initiatives and part of that was developing a lemonade stand today,” said Lorraine Moeller, Executive Director of BGC Yorkton.

Moeller said that the BGC youths were in charge when it came to planning for the day.

“They did everything from planning the

event, promoting it, writing sponsorship letters to local businesses to supply the cookies, the juice, the cups and all of that,” said Moeller, noting, “they did everything from start to finish.”

Moeller went on to add that it was up to the BGC youths to decide what the funds raised would go towards.

“This is – I believe – our fourth year of doing the lemonade stand,” said Moeller, adding, “sometimes they’ve chosen to purchase treats for our neighbours next door at the day care, they’ve purchased treats for the younger kids in summer day camp that are in our other unit,” and, “they’ve also given back to the club – they’ve chosen to buy treats for all of the leaders who make the program possible for them all sum-

mer – so they kind of get to decide what they want to do with the proceeds of the sale, it’s totally youthled.”

Moeller said that BGC Yorkton has seen an increase in patrons of the lemonade stand with each successive year.

Moeller said that other fundraising initiatives are underway.

Kamsack FRC adds Sensory Time to its program

By Dick DeRyk Earlier this summer, the SIGN Kamsack Family Resource Centre (KFRC) saw a need in the community to support families with children who have sensory needs, primarily children on the autism spectrum.

As the result of consultation with, and support from professionals in that field, KFRC will start a half hour a week Sensory Time in August.

Andrea Verigin and Megan Holodniuk of the KFRC invited Kelley

Wog, Early Childhood Interventionist with the Parkland Early Childhood Intervention Program and Tasha Sudsbear, the Autism Spectrum Disorder Consultant with SHA’s Children’s Therapy Program in Yorkton, to meet with them to learn more about how they can provide suitable programming. Also attending the session were Anne Schilvert, Director at Canora Children’s KidsSpace and Daycare, and Tiffany Stone, Kamkids Daycare

Inc. Director.

Sudsbear explained that she and her program support children with a diagnosis of autism, or who are waiting for assessment, and their families.

“Many children with autism are more sensitive to the environment around them and can be more bothered by lights and sounds,” she said.

“They may have more trouble calming after becoming dysregulated.

This is not unique to autism however – children can also have sensory

Fruit Flower and Vegetable Show The Yorkton and District Horticultural Society is happy to be holding their Annual Fruit, Flower and Vegetable Show Wednesday, Aug. 10 from 10AM till 2PM at the Parkland Mall, Yorkton.

Yes, it’s a new venue, but the group is looking forward to holding their first live show since covid began. The last two years have been challenging, and the two hail storms this spring have set back many gardens. But members are still planning a show with what remains. They hope that guests will come out and see a variety of entries.

“Entries will be down because of the hail,” said one member, “but we are excited just to be able to have a live show again.”

Another member agrees. “It’s great to be back with our first show in three years. The group is eager to return with a public show again. We are happy to be back with our first show since 2019.

During the pandemic gardening became even more popular than ever.

We are excited now to showcase some highlights of our gardening year so far.”

The YDHS had its first flower show on September 7, 1906, at the Yorkton town hall.

It is difficult to imagine that in those challenging times of a young Yorkton, people took time out to have a flower show.

But they did, and the group has been around, in various forms, since that time. The group has evolved from a group that consisted mainly of gardeners with large prairie gardens to a group that has a wide spectrum of gardeners, some with big gardens right to some with their “garden” in containers on a deck or patio. It doesn’t matter: the mandate of the group is to encourage an interest of horticulture in all forms.

Yorkton is a gardening city; if you think it isn’t,

just go for a drive on a summer evening. There are so many interesting and beautiful yards. So now, here’s the question: why aren’t you great gardeners part of the group?

Consider this your invitation to join the hort society: you’ll meet interest-

ing people who share a common interest of gardening and have many chances to take part in expanding your gardening knowledge.

processing difficulties without having a diagnosis of autism. They may have a different diagnosis, or no diagnosis at all.”

Sudsbear points out that creating sensory friendly time at the Kamsack FRC will help the program to be inclusive of all children and families.

“Parents of children with autism often report feeling isolated, and that they are anxious about going into the community with their child. We can support these parents to feel more comfortable in the community by assuring them that their child is welcome, and that staff are understanding of challenges that they may have,” she adds.

She lists the potential challenges may be averted by implementing the following strategies: • Dimming lights; • Removing extra brochures, posters, and

decorations from the room; • Turning off background music; • Limiting the number of people attending; • Providing a variety of calming sensory experiences such as tactile sensory tables and light tables; • Providing quiet spaces for children to retreat if they need a break.

“Sensory friendly times tell parents that their children are welcome and that the Kamsack FRC is a safe space for them,” she said.

“My hope is that this will alleviate parents’ anxiety and isolation, provide fun learning and social opportunities for children, and create connections that help families to access other community supports.”

After the learning session with Sudsbear, Andrea and Megan decided to add a Sensory

Time to their FRC schedule for families needing this. The sessions will be 30 minutes in length and held once a week at first, with more sessions added into fall if there is a need. Parents with children from newborn to age 5 will be able to attend, but attendance will be limited.

The playrooms will be set up at the direction of Sudsbear, and Kamsack FRC will add toys or books that the child is interested in. Families are encouraged to bring items which will make the child feel comfortable such as fidgets or squishies.

“We understand the parents maybe new to our Centre but want them to know we understand and are okay with children displaying a variety of behaviours,” she said.

“We want to help families build connections and to support the child as best we can.”

Loss of local food services has a price If you are on social media – and most are connected to at least one or two platforms these days – it is likely you have read posts lamenting the price of food.

As an example a recent post locally lamented the jump in the price of bread at a local store, and meat prices have trended higher as well – making a decision to barbecue steaks this summer a bit more difficult for families on a budget.

And, through recent months’ people will have also seen posts about certain foods simply not

on the shelves. My better half has noted for example, has not seen Kellogg’s Rice Krispies – one of my favourites – on the shelves for some time.

To read posts the climbing prices are the result of whichever politician the poster happens not to support, or it’s just big business taking a bigger chunk of the consumer’s paycheque.

Of course nothing is quite as simple as social media posting would suggest.

For example, a lot of the issues regarding food prices and shortages can trace back to

Agriculture THIS WEEK

Calvin Daniels what our parents and grandparents did in terms of food buying decisions.

For example, if you live in Yorkton and were to decide that the answer to high beef prices was to go out to a local producer and buy a beef animal, you

would find there is not an abattoir in the city to kill and process the animal. A decade, or so ago, it would have been impossible to even imagine a Prairie city of 18,000 would exist without a local abattoir, but because consumers long ago put their food

security in the hands of food stores, the local custom meat processor is increasingly rare.

It is the same thinking which over the years has made gardens increasingly rare in city backyards.

And, as we have walked away from tending and harvesting a garden we have also walked away from owning a deep freeze to store our own food.

When I was a youth every home had a deep freeze and dishwashers were rare. Today the reverse is much more the norm.

Today we rely on food

shipped from afar. The milk once produced on a Yorkton area farm was processed in a facility on York Road. Today a truck hauls raw milk from the farm west to Saskatoon or beyond, where it is processed, loaded on a truck and hauled back to stores and when diesel is more than $2 a litre the price in the store is bound to rise.

Perhaps if we still had greater control of our food, grown or sourced and processed locally, the cost of our food would not be quite the topic of social media it is these days.

Crops continue to advance well Crops continue to advance quickly throughout the province due to hot, humid days over the past few weeks.

The humidity has slowed haying.

When humidity is high, cutting hay becomes more challenging and hay that is cut does not dry down as quickly which can result in lower quality feed.

Canola across the province has suffered from the heat and humidity.

Many producers are reporting that their crops have experienced heat blasting and are worried about the effect it will have on their yields.

If the heat continues with minimal rainfall, crops will be ready for harvest sooner than normal, similar to the 2021 harvest.

Many areas in the province experienced wild weather systems this past week with hail, thunderstorms and even tornados occurring leaving crops, buildings and trees damaged.

East-Central Saskatchewan: • Crop District 5 – Melville, Yorkton, Cupar, Kamsack, Foam Lake, Preeceville and Kelvington areas • Crop District 6A – Lumsden, Craik, Watrous and Clavet areas It was another warm week for many parts of the east central region accom-

panied by some light rains. This has allowed crops to continue to develop but most producers indicate they are two weeks behind normal.

The central part of the region around the Foam Lake areas is beginning to become dry, and producers say they need more rain to carry their crops to harvest.

The region received very little rainfall last week that ranged from nil amounts to 78 mm in the Ituna area. The region needs more rain going forward into August but producers are happy to see some warm dry days which has allowed for better crop growth.

Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as nine per cent surplus, 80 per cent adequate, eleven per cent short and four per cent very short.

Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as seven per cent adequate, 80 per cent short and 13 per cent very short.

Seventy-six per cent of fall cereals, 55 per cent of spring cereals, 51 per cent of oilseeds and 74 per cent of pulses are in their normal stages of development for this time of year.

A large percentage of spring cereals and oilseeds are behind, due to delayed

seeding dates and excess moisture.

A provincial look Provincially, 74 per cent of the fall cereals, 65 per cent of the spring cereals, 61 per cent of the oilseeds and 74 per cent of the pulse crops are at their normal stages of development for this time of year.

Producers have indicated that cereals are heading out and are hopeful that the head will fill now that moisture is adequate in many areas. Canola is flowering and podding throughout the province.

Several localized storms resulted in some damage from lodging and minor flooding. The Duck Lake area reported 99 mm of rain over only two days while the Earl Grey area received 78 mm over the course of the week.

For many producers in areas that have dealt with dry conditions since the beginning of the growing season, the rain will not improve their crops at this time. However, the moisture will increase their ability for a second cut of hay and will improve their pasture conditions.

Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as nine per cent surplus, 63 per cent adequate, 24 per cent short and four per cent very short.

Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as seven per cent surplus, 60 per cent adequate, 24 per cent short and eight per cent very short.

Haying was slowed for some, due to some rainstorms and high humidity days but overall haying is going well.

Livestock producers now have 41 per cent of the hay crop cut and 32 per cent baled or put into silage. Hay quality is currently rated as 24 per cent excellent, 52 per cent good, 24 per cent fair and nine per cent poor.

Hay yields will be reported on next week; however, it is expected that due to dry conditions of the early part of the growing season, hay yields will be lower than average for some producers.

Crop damage this past week was attributed to localized hail, strong winds, lack of moisture, heat, flooding, grasshoppers and gophers.

Many producers will be assessing which of their fields are worth the effort and cost of spraying for grasshoppers while fields that are in poor in condition will most likely be cut as greenfeed.

A complete, printable version of the Crop Report is available online at https://www.saskatchewan.ca/cropreport.

Province-wide disease program launches This summer and fall, in collaboration with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, SaskCanola is offering free disease testing for blackleg and clubroot.

Keith Fournier, SaskCanola’s Research Committee Chair, outlines the importance of testing canola fields across the province for these invasive and costly diseases.

“Clubroot is an invasive soil-borne disease that deprives farmers of their hard-earned income. Clubroot is easier to manage when it’s found at low levels in a soil test before there are visible symptoms in the crop. Blackleg populations can shift over time when there is selection pressure from genetic resistance of canola. For this reason, it’s

important for future seeding decisions to select a canola variety with a different resistance gene package,” says Fournier.

Clubroot SaskCanola’s clubroot monitoring program is available again this year for Saskatchewan canola growers and their agrologists. Soil testing is the best way to detect the clubroot pathogen before any symptoms appear on the canola plant.

Farmers can request a soil sampling bag from SaskCanola by calling 306975-0262, from a Ministry of Agriculture regional office or a Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) plant health officer. Soil collected from the field is then submitted

for clubroot testing and SaskCanola covers the cost.

For early detection, the ideal time to test for clubroot is in the fall. At this point, the galls on the canola plant’s roots are decomposing and starting to release spores into the soil. Private sector agrologists are encouraged to work with growers to ensure that at-risk fields are identified and tested so that the spread of clubroot disease can be reduced.

Blackleg Knowledge is power in the fight against blackleg disease. Identifying which blackleg races are present in a field helps guide canola farmers and their agronomists in their seed variety decision-making.

SaskCanola is offering a free blackleg test to the first 200 registered canola growers who apply. Farmers can collect plant stems suspected of infection and then contact SaskCanola to receive a blackleg testing code. SaskCanola provides the test results by email.

Private sector agrologists have the option of testing fields on behalf of farmers. For more details on testing, call 306-975-0262 or visit Disease Testing Programs at saskcanola.com.

SaskCanola is a producer-led organization, established in 1991 and supported by 20,000 levy-paying Saskatchewan canola producers.

SaskCanola’s mandate is to grow producer prosperity by providing value to canola producers through research, advocacy and market development.

Building sleds a passion for Kweens

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Sometimes when you want a certain snowmobile model they are near impossible to find based on age and rarity.

At other times you have a vision for a certain sled, but a model suiting that vision was never produced.

So what do you do at that point?

Well if you are John Kweens you get out some paper and start designing what you want.

The Churchbridge area snowmobile guru has shown a knack for creating unique sled designs from the ground up, as well as being something of a master sleuth when it comes to searching out parts to simply recreate certain sleds from the snow up.

Kweens had one of his more unusual creations at the second annual Tapps Sports Lounge & Grill car show on the weekend.

Looking a bit like some off-world scout vehicle for traversing the surface of another planet, the machine was actually a scratch built dual track snowmobile.

So why fashion a sled like that?

“I like two track snowmobile. The first snowmobile I ever drove was a ’68 Alpine (Ski Doo) with twin tracks,” he explained.

The sled on display was not his first foray into building a twin tracked sled.

“I built my first twin track snowmobile in 1980,” said Kweens, adding it was largely a flop.

“It weighed too much,” he said with a smile.

So it was back to the drawing board, the unit on display weighing in at a sleeker 500 pounds.

The ride is also better, with a suspension Kweens said is much like a car in the sense the driver is nestled between the suspension units.

The sled features two 7.5-inch-wide by 114-inchlong lugged rubber tracks

John Kweens of Yorktom in his scratch built sled. made from an 83 9700 Blizzard 16.5-inch-wide track, with 1 1/8-inch strip cut from the middle of the track to centre the drive windows, the tracks flat clips are removed from each track and replaced with upright clips in the opposite way to the other upright clips.

“This allows to have one rear slide rail suspension per track with doubled up wheels, tightener and shock from an 81 9500 Blizzard Plus,” detailed a leaflet on the sled.

For power Kweens turned again to a Blizzard, utilizing a 1981 original 9500 Blizzard Plus Rotax L/C rotary induced engine – type 454. Cooling the engine are two ‘81 9500 Blizzard Plus tunnel heat exchangers.

The driver slips into a go-cart race seat, the effect looking not unlike an F1 race car, with an aftermarket home bent windshield, trim, and motorcycle mirrors.

There is also an aftermarket rear spoiler.

The sled looks sleek, but has its limitations.

Kweens said because of the narrow tracks and still somewhat hefty weight once the driver is seated, he sticks to groomed trails, usually only taking it out for the occasional vintage snowmobile derby.

There have been offers on the sled, but Kweens has held on to the ride.

“It’s my favourite because I ride it,” he said.

Other sleds he has built have come and gone

over the years.

“People want stuff I build,” he said, adding some of the sleds he built end up being raced, while several have gone into private collections.

So what is next for Kweens?

He’s building a 1978 Ski Doo from the ground

ginal parts to find there.

He estimates it will take $15K to access all the parts.

Retired as a millwright, Kweens said building snowmobiles uses his past training and keeps him both busy in his tiny shop, and happy with what he creates.

What you need to know about compression stockings

Bridge: a great pastime Bridge is a card game that’s played with four players divided into two teams. Each team must try to find a contract that allows them to score the most points. This is determined by bidding, which consists of establishing the denomination, with or without a trump suit, and the bid or number of tricks for the contract. The team with the highest bid then wins the number of tricks announced.

Playing bridge has a host of benefits. It’s an inexpensive pastime that

can allow you to maintain a stimulating social life and meet new people.

It also helps improve your memory and concentration.

Bridge isn’t a game of chance.

It’s a strategy game that requires reasoning, mental calculation, creativity and decision-making skills.

It’s a real mental exercise and may even help prevent Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

If you want to give this card game a try, look for a bridge club in your area.

Have you heard about the benefits of using compression stockings? These therapeutic devices exert pressure on the veins in your legs to improve circulation and reduce discomfort and swelling. They’re tightest at the ankle and gradually loosen towards the top of the leg.

Compression stockings are suitable for various individuals, including people who spend hours on their feet, frequent flyers and pregnant women.

Compression stockings are also often recommended for seniors with venous insufficiency. This condition is often caused by a lack of physical activity or a poor cardiorespiratory system.

Compression stockings are available in several lengths and can help with swollen legs, varicose veins and calf pain.

Care and use

Compression stockings aren’t like ordinary socks. For example, they must be washed by hand and air dried. Additionally, you must follow specific instructions to put them on without damaging them.

Fortunately, you can purchase accessories to help make this task easier.

Visit your local pharmacy to find a pair of compression stockings that meet your needs.

Nutrition tips for seniors Eating healthy, nutritious foods gives you the energy you need to go about your daily life and stay in good shape. For seniors, it’s essential to have a varied diet to help maintain independence and quality of life. Here are some healthy eating tips to follow as you age.

50 to 59 years old At this age, women should focus on eating foods that help reduce the unpleasant symptoms associated with menopause. For example, they should reduce their sugar intake and consume foods like soy and flaxseed, which are good sources of phytoestrogens.

On the other hand, men should reduce their consumption of

red meat and saturated fats to help prevent prostate cancer. They should also include plenty of vegetables, lean proteins and fish in their diet.

Both aging men and women can benefit from eating more protein to help prevent their muscle mass from deteriorating.

60 to 69 years old As you age, your metabolism gradually slows down. Therefore, you don’t need to consume as many calories as you used to. However, you must ensure you’re still getting enough calcium, vitamins and nutrients by eating the appropriate foods. If you lack the necessary appetite, you may need to supplement your diet with qua lity meal-replacement bars or drinks.

Consult a health care professional for advice.

70 years and older Hunger is less of an issue at this age.

Therefore, the goal is to consume enough pro-

tein to meet your nutritional needs while still eating plenty of healthy fruits, vegetables and starches. You may also need to take vitamin and mineral supple-

ments to strengthen your immune system.

On top of maintaining a healthy weight, fuelling your body with healthy foods can help pre-

vent muscle and bone loss and the onset of disease. Consult your doctor or a dietitiannutritionist to help you adopt healthy eating habits.

How to avoid heat stress As you age, it’s more difficult for your body to regulate heat, which can result in health complications. Here are some tips to help you survive the hot summer days ahead.

Keep your space cool If you don’t have an air conditioner, use fans to circulate the air in your home. Close curtains and windows during the day to block out the hot sun and

open them on cooler nights to lower the temperature inside.

alcohol and coffee.

Refresh yourself Try to keep your

body at a healthy temperature. You can do this by taking refresh-

Hydrate regularly Seniors are less likely to feel thirsty than younger people.

Therefore, it’s important to prevent dehydration by drinking frequently, even before you feel thirsty. Drink cool water, eat juicy fruits and vegetables and avoid drinks that can dehydrate you, like

ing showers or baths, swimming or covering your skin with wet towels.

Limit your activities Avoid strenuous activities that raise your body temperature and create discomfort.

On hot days, do outdoor activities in the shade

and wear appropriate clothing and accessories like a hat and sunglasses.

Heat stress shouldn’t be taken lightly. If you or a loved one are affected by it, contact a health professional immediately.

4 tips for assisting an elderly relative from a distance Caring for an elderly relative can be demanding at the best of times.

However, if you live far away, it can make things even more difficult.

Whether your loved one resides in a different city or country, here are a few strategies for taking care of them from afar.

1. Develop a network of contacts Build a network of people who can help your elderly relative when

you’re not around. For example, you could ask a trustworthy friend or family member to regularly check in on them. Additionally, you can hire a health-care professional to conduct visits. Make sure you give your loved one a list of people they can contact if they can’t reach you.

2. Make the most of your visits During your visits, assist your loved one with as many of their

immediate and future needs as possible. For example, you could help them stock up on groceries, prepare meals, sort medication and schedule appointments.

3. Check in regularly Frequently checking in with your loved one allows you to stay on top of their health and habits. On top of face-to-face visits, you can call, email or video chat to keep in touch.

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple’s house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, “Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly.” The other man said, “What is the name of the restaurant?”

The first man thought and thought and finally said, “What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know... the one that’s red and has thorns.”

“Do you mean a rose?” “Yes, that’s the one,” replied the man.

He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, “Rose, what’s the name of that restaurant we went to last night?”

4. Prepare financial resources If you’ll need to travel or take time off work to accompany your loved one to a medical appointment, it’s a good idea to make room in your budget for this expense.

Additionally, some non-profit organizations offer friendly calls or visits to seniors. Find out if a service like this is available in your loved one’s region.

Ron Tymko passed away suddenly on July 21, 2022 at his residence.

Ron was born in Yorkton, SK to Philip and Rose Tymko (nee Cmoc). He was united in marriage to Dianne Hull on August 19, 1972 in Yorkton, SK. They were blessed with two sons: Chad (Jen), and Christopher (Morgan).

In accordance with Ron’s wishes, he has been cremated and there will be no Funeral Service. A family gathering will be held at a later date. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.grays.ca.

PROKOPETZ - Mary Prokopetz of Yorkton entered eternal rest on July 18, 2022 at the age of 83 years. Mary Prokopetz was born on October 20, 1938 at Kamsack Victoria Hospital to Bill and Anne Mosiuk. She grew up on the family farm in the Rhein area, and attended Kitsman School. After school, Mary took nurses’ aid training at the sanitorium in Fort Qu’Appelle. She went on to work at the Yorkton Union Hospital, Yorkton and District Nursing Home, and the Yorkton Mental Health Centre. She enjoyed her work, and her compassionate spirit was shared with all under her care.

Mary cherished her faith throughout her life. As a member of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church choir, she was passionate about expressing her faith through music. She was also blessed to meet her partner and companion, Gerald Yaholnitsky through the church. Gerald drove Mary and her choirmates throughout Saskatchewan and Manitoba, helping them share their musical gift at countless services and functions. Mary quickly accepted Gerald’s family as her own. She shared a special relationship with Gerald’s sister Vera (Dennis) Webster, his sister Ruth (Carl) Slegel, as well as his niece Donnalee (James) Weinmaster. Mary was an avid homemaker, passionate about gardening, as well as cooking and baking. Her beautiful home was always open to family and friends. All who visited Mary and Gerald enjoyed a warm welcome, great conversation, and a table of delicious food. Over the last few years, as Mary dealt with personal health issues, she displayed her trademark courage and strength. She was determined to continue enjoying life, and didn’t let adversity dampen her spirit. When Gerald began to struggle with his own health, and his mobility was reduced, Mary devoted herself to caring for her beloved partner. She continued daily visits to see him in the hospital and nursing home, often bringing her famous home cooking for him to enjoy. Mary was predeceased by her husband Peter Prokopetz, son Clifford, and brother Laurence Mosiuk. She leaves to cherish and celebrate her memory: partner Gerald Yaholnitsky; sister-in-law Vera Webster and family; sister-in-law Ruth Slegel and family; as well as many good friends.

The Funeral Service was held on Saturday, July 23, 2022 at Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre with Rev. Fr. Petro Tsenov officiating.

The responses were led by Zenovia Duch with parish choir members from Holy Transfiguration and Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Churches. The cross bearer was Donnalee Weinmaster. The interment followed in the Garden of Crucifixion at Yorkton Memorial Gardens James Weinmaster, Bernie Fisher, Scott Rudoski, Orest Tanchyk, John Bodnaryk and Larry German serving as the casket bearers. Memorial donations in memory of Mary may be made to Trident Ukrainian Orthodox Church Camp (Crystal Lake), c/o 201 Sunset Dr. South, Yorkton, SK. S3N 3R8 as gifts of remembrance.

WILSON - It is with deep sadness that the family of Lorne Llewellyn Wilson announce his passing on July 7, 2022. Dad was 94 years young! He was born to Alfred and Mildred Wilson on April 25, 1928 in Fonehill, SK. Dad completed his Grade six in Bredenbury and then started working. At age 15 he was hired by Swenson Construction.

He did anything from running the gravel conveyor to driving caterpillar. During winter months Swenson ran a lumber mill north of Norquay. Dad hauled logs but also cut blocks of snow from the lake to run the steam engines. In 1944 Dad along with his parents moved to Minneapolis. Together they worked with a company that was building a bridge in Redwing, Minnesota. In 1945 when the war ended, Dad, along with his parents returned to Canada. They had been holding jobs that soldiers would need upon their return. At this time Alf and Dad’s brother, Peter purchased a café in Bredenbury. Dad worked there until 1947 when he accepted a job at Thorsness Hardware in Saltcoats. Dad loved his job as a salesman and repairman. It was through his work that he met many of his lifelong friends. In 1985 a back injury forced Dad to retire. This was very hard for him as he loved his work and the people he served. In 1950 Dad met Irene Czinkota while she was walking to her work at the Saltcoats War Memorial Hospital. Romance blossomed and they were married July 6, 1951. Dad and Mom loved their homes, yards, gardening, socializing, card and game playing, traveling and golfing. There was many camping, fishing trips, trips to the USA and their trips to Europe connecting with family. Dad’s and Mom’s years as snowbirds were some of the best. By 2017 it was becoming difficult for Dad and Mom to keep up with a large yard, garden, and home. At this time, they moved into a condo in Yorkton to relax and enjoy life. It didn’t last long as Mom became ill by spring.

Dad was devastated when he lost his life partner in the fall of 2018. Dad looked forward to his morning and afternoon coffee at Tim’s with the guys and gals. In the fall of 2021 Dad was diagnosed with lung cancer, he chose no treatments. By mid-February it was evident Dad was failing and needed full time care. At this time, we devoted our days to him. All the years he had done so much for all of us, we were now able to give back.

June 6, 2022, Dad was accepted into long term care at the Canora Gateway Lodge. Being in LTC didn’t stop us from being, very hands on with his care. We poured our love into assisting him every day. Dad passed peacefully July 7, 2022. Dad was predeceased by mom; his parents, Alfred, and Mildred; brothers, Morley, Peter, Leslie and great granddaughter, Devyn; nephew, Garnet. Dad is survived by his children, Cindy, Brenda (Bob), Rick (Cathy), Barb (Lars), 12 grandchildren, 18 great grandchildren; sister in law, Vye Molner; nephews, Don and Les and niece, Gayle. A Funeral Service was held for Lorne on Monday, July 18, 2022 at 2:00 pm from the Saltcoats United Church. Interment followed in the Saltcoats Town Cemetery. Should friends so desire, donations in memory of Lorne may be made to the Saltcoats Beautification Committee or to Saltcoats United Church.

TRAFANANKO - It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Mrs. Anne Trafananko beloved wife of the Late Tom Trafananko of Roblin, formerly of Yorkton and the Wroxton district passed away on Friday, July 8, 2022 at the Crocus Court Personal Care Home in Roblin. She was 95 years of age.

Anne was born on Feb 1, 1927 to Fred and Dora (nee Rezansoff) Makortoff. She was born near Kamsack and was the second oldest of five children. Anne graduated grade 12 and worked at the local Sears store in Kamsack.

She enjoyed playing softball, riding horses, playing scrabble, sewing/crocheting, reading, gardening, cooking, baking and dancing at the local community halls. She met her husband Tom Tranfananko at one of the dances.

They later married on November 24, 1951. They resided on the family farm near Wroxton. Soon after they started their family and had two children; Melvin and Louise. Anne was predeceased by an infant brother Alex, her son Melvin, parents Doris and Fred, Sister Lorna, brother Fred and George and Husband Tom. Anne was predeceased by all 19 of her in-laws as well as a niece Elaine and nephew Dennis.

Surviving to Anne is her daughter Louise and Husband Blaine of Roblin.

Grandchildren Kevin of Winnipeg, Derek (Karissa) and Great Grandchildren Elena and Emmett of Roblin; and Koren of Brandon. She was a hard worker raising chickens, geese, turkeys, pigs and cows. Her large garden kept her busy all summer and fall planting, weeding, harvesting, freezing and canning, her labour of love. She will be remembered by her countless meals and baking she served her many friends, neighbours and family. Everyone was welcomed with open arms to Anne and Tom’s home and before you knew it the coffee pot was on and lunch was served. Anne and Tom sold their farm and moved into Yorkton into 1994. Anne’s pride and joy were her family. She spent many hours reading to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. At 94 years of age, she still loved to play scrabble and could beat anybody she played, she would even teach her great grandchildren to play. Anne was quiet, kind, and generous and had a sharp mind right until the end.

We will miss you Mom and Grandma, Rest In Peace. A family Graveside Service was held on Tuesday, July 19, 2022 at the family plot in the Yorkton Memorial Gardens with Rev. Fr. Peter Tsenov of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada and Crystal Bailey – Certified Celebrant officiating. Anne’s granddaughter, Koren Harlow served as the Cross Bearer. Kevin Harlow, Derek Harlow, Blaine Harlow, Myron Trafananko, Ivan Morash and Aaron Kastelic served as the Casket Bearers.

Memorials in memory of Anne may be made to Crocus Court Personal Care Home 15 Hospital St, Roblin, MB R0L 1P0 or to the Allan Blair Cancer Clinic Patient Lodge Renewal Fund 4101 Dewdney Ave, Regina, SK S4T 7T1 as gifts of remembrance.

Learning a bit about disc golf

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Recent arrivals to Canada received some insights into the sport of disc gold recently at the Patrick Park Disc Golf Course in Yorkton.

Veteran player Quinn Haider gave instruction to a group of 11 youngsters and adults July 20, after being asked to host an introductory clinic by the Newcomer Welcome Centre in the city.

“The demograph-

ics of our city have changed quite a bit,” said Haider, noting those attending the clinic originally came from India, Nigeria, China and the Philippines.

Haider said there is already talk of a follow

up clinic with greater focus of young adult participants.

The local Parkland Association of Disc Golf is always interested in holding clinics to teach the sport. They can be found of Facebook.

hockey game was held with miniature sticks on a miniature rink, July 19 at the center of the camp.

“Anyone who appreciates hockey in the world knows the two dominant powers are Canada and Finland,” noted Yorkton Scout leader Kent Latimer.

“The Finnish people treat hockey like a second religion.

“In Canada, it is the way of life, next to ‘Timmies’.”

Latimer did add at the camp when asked “who the world’s best hockey team is, everyone, except Canadians, answered the Finnish national team.”

With their professional Canadian national counterparts having lost to Finland in both the men’s side of the most recent Winter

Olympics and the World Championship Finals, the Canadian scouts were eager to rewrite history for 2022.

When Canada agreed to attend the Kajo scout jamboree, the gauntlet was laid.

“The rematch will prove that both Canada and Finland hold hockey near to their hearts,” said Latimer.

The expected attendance was for more than 5000 to be on-hand.

The Canadians hoped that the home rink advantage would be meaningless, said Latimer.

The players would consist of scouts, venturers and organizing team members from both countries.

“The Canadian spies have confirmed that many high-level Finnish

hockey players have been drafted to the Finnish organizing committee,” joked Latimer.

“Fortunately for the Canadians, their goalie is larger than the net,” he added.

It had been confirmed that “fighting has been banned in the spirit of scouting, and line brawls are not allowed,” added Latimer.

Head of contingent, Grant Vogelsang, stated, “we are extremely confident in Canada’s victory, and if we lose, we are fully ready to surrender our passports to Canada.”

There were 235 Canadians attending ‘Kajo’.

Oh yes, in the end Canada won 6-5.

“Coolest thing ever,” concluded Latimer.

Parkland 18U AA Expos host provincials

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Parkland 18U AA Expos played host to the Provincial 18U AA Tier 1 tournament at Jubilee Park over the weekend.

The three-day event saw eight teams vying for the provincial title, with the teams initially split into pool play for round robin action ahead of Sunday’s playoffs. (See related story this edition).

Friday the Expos took on Assiniboia in game one of the tournament for the host side.

The Expos started strong scoring three runs in the home half of the first inning.

The teams then traded single runs in the second inning.

The game remained 4-1 until the top of the fourth inning when Assiniboia had a big inning of their own, scoring four runs to lead 5-4.

The Expos responded immediately scoring one in the bottom of the fourth to tie the game 5-5.

In the sixth Assiniboia scored one and that would prove the difference as they won the game 6-5.

O Lucas started the game for Assiniboia. The pitcher lasted one inning,

allowing two hits and three runs while striking out one.

G Peterson was credited with the victory for Assiniboia. He surrendered two runs on eight hits over four and a third innings, striking out three and walking one.

Marshal Ruzicka threw one and two-thirds innings in relief out of the bullpen. He recorded the last five outs to earn the save for Assiniboia.

Evan Knezacek took the loss for the Expos.

The hurler went three innings, allowing three runs on four hits and striking out four.

Brandon Spilchen had started the game for the Expos staying on the hill for three and two-thirds innings, allowing four hits and three runs while striking out three and walking one.

The Expos collected 11 hits with Sam Cristo, Colton Hubic, Dion Maksymchuk, and Matthew Datema all managing multiple hits.

Assiniboia collected eight hits on the day.

In other action Friday the Regina White Sox topped the Weyburn Beavers 4-2, the Unity Cardinals topped the Regina Blue Jays 17-11, and the Regina Buffalos

edged the Regina Pacers 2-1.

The Expos were back in action over the noon hour at the tournament Saturday.

The Expos squared off against the Regina Buffalos in the second contest in pool play.

The Expos scored two in the top half of the first inning as the ‘visiting’ team in the contest.

The Expos added one in the third inning and two more in the fourth to lead 5-0.

The Buffalos finally got on the board with two in the home-half of the fourth inning to make it 5-2 in favour of the Expos.

The Parkland squad added one in the fifth, and it would prove a huge run as Regina scored

three in their half of the frame to make it a 6-5 lead for the Expos, a lead that would hold the rest of the way for a Parkland team win.

Matthew Spilchuk was the winning pitcher. He surrendered five runs on three hits over four innings, striking out three.

Liam Baron threw three innings in relief out of the bullpen. He recorded the last nine outs to earn the save.

Carter Wolensky took the loss for the Buffalos surrendering six runs on three hits over four and a third innings, striking out one.

Later in the day Saturday the Expos squared off against the Regina Pacers in the

final action of the day.

And, it was an oldfashioned slug fest with runs aplenty by both sides as the teams would combine for 30 hits.

The teams traded three-run efforts in the first inning, setting the tone for what was to come.

The Pacers pulled ahead with four more runs in the top of the second inning, then added four in the fourth inning to lead 11-3.

The Expos cut into the Regina lead responding with three in the homehalf of the fourth inning to make it an 11-6 contest.

The Pacers then put up a huge six-runs in the sixth inning to jump ahead 17-6.

The Expos weren’t

done though, putting four on the board in their half of the sixth inning cutting the Pacer lead to 17-10.

The line score then showed a minus-one run for Regina in the seventh inning, and the Expos tried valiantly to mount a comeback, scoring four in the home-half of the final frame coming up two runs shorts in a 16-14 decision.

Colton Hubic started the game on the mound for the Expos. He allowed 15 hits and 11 runs over four innings, striking out three.

Logan Wolkowski threw three innings out of the bullpen.

Carson Brooks started for the Pacers. The righthander surrendered six runs on eight hits over four and two-thirds innings, striking out two.

The Expos totaled 16 hits. Dion Maksymchuk, Jeff Stewart, Sam Cristo, Brandon Spilchen, and Matthew Datema all collected multiple hits for the home side.

The loss eliminated the Expos from the playoffs Sunday.

Other afternoon games Saturday saw the Unity Cardinals over the Weyburn Beavers 8-6 and the Assiniboia Aces over the Regina Buffalos 13-1.

Assiniboia Aces win gold in Yorkton

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The gold medals at the Provincial Tier 1 tournament hosted at Jubilee Park in Yorkton have been awarded.

The final pitted Assiniboia against the Regina Buffalos.

The Buffalos had qualified with a 9-8 win over the Regina Whitesox while the Aces topped Unity 7-6 in semi finals action.

The Aces started the scoring putting up four runs

in the second inning as the home team.

The teams traded single runs in the third, with the Aces adding one in the fourth to lead 6-1.

In the fifth inning the teams traded two runs apiece.

The Buffalos scored two more in the sixth, but the Aces scored three to go up 11-5, and looked to be in full control.

But, the Buffalos made it a squeaker scoring five before the Aces record three outs to win the gold medals 11-10.

Owen Lucas got the start for the Aces. He surrendered three runs on four hits over five innings, strik-

ing out two.

Carter Miller was on the pitcher’s mound for Regina. Miller allowed three hits and five runs over two and a third innings, striking out two.

Jayce Langton, Kayden Culetta, and Jackson Seel each contributed in relief for the Buffalos.

The Aces racked up 10 hits in the game. William Grondin and Grier Peterson collected multiple hits for Assiniboia.

The Buffalos had nine hits in the game. Cole Hachkewich, Miller, and Culetta had multiple hits for Regina.

Olden Knights readying for SFLL season

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Olden Knights are readying for a new season in the Saskatchewan Field Lacrosse League (SFLL).

The SFLL was founded in 2017 with the intent to grow field lacrosse at the senior level.

Team spokesperson Brandon Wizniak said the league has sort

of existed for about six years, but was only formalized as the SFLL two seasons ago.

While the Olden Knights do have a couple of players traveling from Saskatoon, Wizniak said it is largely manned with Yorkton and area players.

“We’ve had a couple of guys come out that hadn’t played before,” he said, but added the league is for players 17 and older and they like hav-

ing younger players. “It’s a spot they can play for years when they age out (from minor lacrosse).”

The SFLL uses a festival style format with events happening throughout September / October each season.

“Originally we had talked about having an actual schedule,” said Wizniak, adding it was felt a series of one-day ‘fes-

tivals’ was deemed easier for teams to get players to be able to attend. “Each city hosts a festival.”

Results at the festivals go toward season end points which are used in seeding the teams for the finals.

This year action in the sixteam SFLL seasons starts in Saskatoon Aug. 20, moves to Prince Albert Aug. 27, moves

to Moose Jaw Sept. 10, then Yorkton Sept. 17.

The Yorkton festival is free for spectators with games to be played on the field behind St. Paul’s School.

Wizniak said the quality of play is “pretty good,” so fans that do come out should be entertained.

The 2022 Harvest Cup will be hosted in Sturgis, Sept. 24 and 25 at Coach Cameron Field.

Disc golf star emerges from Estonia When it comes to disc golf it is increasingly a worldwide sport.

So when wanting to discuss discs from Latitude 64 and Discmania I reached out to Kristin Tattar, one of their pros.

Tattar hails from Estonia, which I admit I had to Google to fully understand where it is in the world. Situated in northeastern Europe, Estonia juts out into the Baltic Sea, which surrounds the country to the north and west. To the east Estonia is bounded

by Russia, and to the south it is bounded by Latvia.

So via email I immediately had to ask how Tattar was introduced to disc golf.

“I was around 21-22 when I first tried disc golf,” she replied. “It was relatively new in Estonia and I had never heard of it before, but I tried

it with some friends and immediately liked it. Not necessarily in a competitive way but it was just a fun thing to do while being outside enjoying nature.

“I remember I had just had my daughter and this was a good active way for me to spend time outside while she was in a stroller sleeping.”

As Tattar was developing as a budding star, the sport itself was growing in her country.

“Back when I started, no one really knew what disc golf was, but I think today it will be hard to find a person in Estonia who hasn’t heard about disc golf,” she said.

“The sport has grown a lot in recent years and I´m happy I got to witness it. It feels like every town/ village has their own disc golf course - opportunities to play the game here are really good.”

CALVIN DANIELS

Sports While disc golf is a great recreation, there had to be something which made Tattar pursue it to the level of playing professionally around the world.

“I think when I won my first Estonian Nationals in 2014, then I thought maybe there is more to it,” she said. “(The) next year I signed up with the PDGA and started competing everywhere I could. One thing led to another and here I am today.”

Today for Tattar means being number two on the

United States Tour, and has 71 career wins on her resume.

Tattar said her career highlight to-date has probably been “winning a major back in 2019, (the United States Women’s Disc Golf Championships). That was the biggest breakthrough at that point in my career and made the push for me to sign a better contract that actually allowed me to travel more.”

It was also in 2019 Tattar topped the Canadian National Disc Gold Championships in

Bonshaw, PEI. So what traits as a player make Tattar a force on courses around the world?

“When talking about the technical side then I think I´m very versatile,” she offered. “I feel comfortable with both backhand and forehand.

“But ultimately I think what helps me the most is knowing that I´m on the right path and this is what I love to do - almost feels like this is what I’m meant to do.”

The sport has certainly turned Tattar into a world traveler spending considerable time in North America throwing discs competitively.

“I guess the first year it was super exciting, now it is more casual and I take it as part of my job,” she said.

“I´m very appreciative that I have had the chance to travel so much and dis-

cover all the great courses in the states - of course there are many more to play and I look forward to it in the future.”

Given her resume Tattar could have likely signed with any of the multitude of disc companies out there, so why Latitude 64?

“It all started late in 2016 when a local Trilogy discs retailer - Silver Leetma - fed the idea of sponsoring me to David Berglund. The following year I started playing with Trilogy discs,” she related.

“Obviously for the first few years the contract included just free equipment etc. but this is how I grew fond of the discs and got to know the L64 family and they got to know me.

I think we have built a very good and trusting relationship with L64 and signing with them was a very easy choice for me.”

Gardening’s many gifts include faith and trust Many gardeners, like myself, come later in life to the garden. They discover its delights only after the children have been raised, the job left behind, the heavy commitments (and committees) of middle age decreased. Like the sweet glob of powder waiting at the bottom of a cup of hot chocolate, the gifts a garden offers may not last as long as it took to drink the full mug of life, but they’re worth waiting for. “Don’t stir it all up, Nana,” my youngest grandbeans tell me as I prepare their cocoa.

“The stuff on the bottom is like the dessert!”

Although I’ve never been a serious gardener,

my periodic puttering over the years has taken a slight turn toward that lately. With assistance from whoever’s willing and available, the Preacher and I have enjoyed transforming our backyard from the overgrown tangle it was when we moved here to what it is today.

Gone are the towering evergreens threatening our home’s foundation and the multiple decrepit raised beds dotting the space. Stones and bark mulch enhance the areas under the remaining evergreens. A perennial bed, a small shrubbery and just enough lawn for the enjoyment of the grandbeans and dog (who

KATHLEEN GIBSON Sunny Side Up has inspired readers of faith since 2001. Read more at www.kathleengibson.ca or reach Kathleen at sunnysideup.press@gmail.com

Sunny Side Up nevertheless prefers digging in the flowerbeds) have replaced all but one of the raised beds. (That one holds herbs and PIWs—plants in waiting for permanent spots elsewhere).

We’ve added a few resting spots, some with simple two-by-six benches made by the Preacher.

A rail fence serves as a

divider between the garden shed and the rest of the yard. At night, multiple strings of tiny solar lights drape the trees and outline the shed. The three youngest grandchildren and I played tag back there one night—a magical memory akin to stories of fairies frolicking under moonlight.

On my neighbourhood

walks I meet other gardeners; generous, friendly sorts who make small paradises of their backyards (and some fronts).

Like the three I met yesterday, who took time to show me their spaces and share valuable lessons. They are the best treasures in any garden, I think, these (sometimes stoop-shouldered) people with dirt under their fingernails and beauty in their soul. Like my friend Debbie Hayward, long time garden columnist.

Gardeners start every growing season with a full wheelbarrow of faith. We can shape the space. We can plant what we want, pull up what we don’t. We can control

the pests (sometimes).

We can pray and watch and hope for a harvest.

But ultimately, we must trust the outcome to that which only God allows.

Devastation could come in a single storm, a summer of drought, a whirlwind of pests. But the gardeners I know pull out that wheelbarrow of faith every spring.

I’ve spent considerable time in our gardens this summer. Digging, planting (and replanting), pulling, watering. I pause often to simply stand and stare. To enjoy. To thank God for this “dessert” in my cup—the privilege of reflecting his creative power on the small patch of earth we call home.

Looking back at recent garden visit in Edmonton Flower update! I was recently telling you about our wonderful visit to the beautiful Muttart Conservatory in Edmonton, and how we were captivated by the display of impatiens at the entrance. Guess what, I heard from Sarah at the Conservatory and she gave me this information about the plants. “These are actually called sunpatiens. They are a very beautiful choice for sun exposure which is why we use them in our giant flower towers at Muttart.”

So, time for more homework! While we always think of impatiens as shade plants, sun-

patiens are an exciting new variation that actually like the sun and hot conditions! How was this achieved? A Japanese seed company, Sakata, thought of a match made in flower heaven: they combined the shadeloving impatiens with a New Guinea impatiens, making another wonderful plant for us to enjoy!

As Sarah shared with us, the plants like sunny locations, and I read that they also do very well in containers.

Like so many plants, they like well-draining soil. There are three types of sunpatiens: compact; spreading, which sounds

DEBBIE HAYWARD YORKTON AND DISTRICT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

Gardener’s Notebook like the perfect choice for containers; and vigorous, which would love to live in our flowerbeds and have lots of room. And as if all this flower power wasn’t enough, they come in a beautiful and showy selection of colors. Read more about them at sunpatiens.com There we have it, gardeners: another plant to note into our garden notebooks to try next year!

I say “next year” because not only is it too late to find something like these delightful flowers for this growing season, but it sounds like many of us are a little “garden-weary” this year.

The weather has thrown us curve balls that even the Blue Jays would have a hard time dealing with, and we know that many

gardening friends we have chatted with all said the same thing: that they have decided to take a “time-out” and step back from their gardens a bit.

Completely understandable this year, with so much rain, hail, and heat in such a short time.

But someone, somewhere, said some wise words…to the effect of “when in doubt, do nothing.” And so it is with our gardens. After Hail #1, the garden looked like coleslaw, but for those of us who cleaned up the debris but left the plants alone, they began to make a surprising comeback.

Then came Hail #2.

Just when everything was starting to revive a bit.

Can anything be more disappointing to a gardener than to be in the house, watching the storm

through the window, and then start hearing those dreaded “pings” of hail start outside? Well, Hail #2 left us more debris and those poor plants were shredded yet again.

But aside from cleanup, we did nothing. And those amazing plants are more resilient than we can even imagine.

We left them where they were, didn’t pull them out, and they are coming back nicely. While they will understandably be set back in their growing, they are definitely trying; so we always feel that if

they are trying, we have to, as well! So don’t lose hope, gardeners!

The Yorkton and District Horticultural Society will be holding their Fruit, Flower and Vegetable Show on Wednesday, August 10 at the Parkland Mall, Yorkton. After being away from a live show for two years, we look forward to seeing our gardening friends! Visit our site at www.yorktonhort. ca for full details. Thank you to our friends at YTW for their great work every week; have a good day!

U11 Cardinals capture provincial title YTW Staff It was an ‘instant classic.’

At least it was for Yorkton Minor Baseball as the Yorkton U11 AA Cardinals won the provincial championship final Sunday afternoon over the defending champions, Weyburn Beavers 19-16.

The contest was an emotional rollercoaster with several lead changes throughout the 6-inning final, said Cardinal coach Mark Schendel.

However, the Cardinals would make a few more key plays than their opponent and would capture the provincial title.

“That’s been part of our identity as a team, when things get difficult, it’s just right for us, “said Schendel Monday.

“We’re a resilient, determined group.”

The Cardinals would

trail on a few occasions, including being down by six in the fourth inning.

However, the Cardinals offence could not be stopped and they would inevitably take the lead heading into the top half of the sixth.

“We didn’t play our best game in the final, there were certainly episodes where we gave the Beavers a few additional outs,” mentioned Schendel. Once the Cardinals got the lead back through 5, the defence responded and they were able to close things out.

Schendel commended their opponent from Sunday’s final.

“I have respect for that ball club. They are a well-coached, relentless group. One through twelve in their lineup, they get after the baseball.”

Schendel indicated that the two teams would

chat throughout the weekend thinking they would be on a collision course.

The Cardinals would go undefeated throughout the weekend. They would win their first three games of the weekend by scores of 17-2 over the Regina Yankees, 17-0 over the Swift Current 57’s, and then 17-3 over Swift Current again in the provincial semi-final.

Swift Current was 21-1 in the Regina U11 AA league heading into the weekend.

“Our players checked a lot of boxes for us this weekend. The entire lineup tore the cover off the ball at the plate, they were tidy in the field defensively, and our pitchers had great command,” said Schendel.

The Cardinals had formed their provincial winning team back in March and were part

of the Regina U11 AAA League in the spring and summer.

“When we started this journey, as a coaching staff, we indicated to our players that everything we do will have a purpose and our ultimate goal will be the prov-

incial championship in the middle of July,” said Schendel.

Mission accomplished.

The head coach and his assistants were blessed with a group of motivated players that not only represented Yorkton well on the field, but maybe

more importantly, off the field, offered Schendel.

“That may be one thing I’ll miss the most from this group of amazing kids, the banter between them. These dozen kids were truly a group of brothers,” he said.
