Cliff Barabash has always liked dabbling in art, but has recently found his true passion may lie in carving.
Now carving is his current favourite artistic outlet, in particular bears.

Barabash said he picked up a carving knife just to try something different to ensure he had some variety in what he was doing to keep it fresh.
Some carvers suggest they see what is hidden in the wood before they start, but when Barabash sits down he has decided what he will carve before picking up a piece, creating what he wants.
But, as his skills grow, so too will the detail in his pieces, suggested Barabash.

In general, Barabash said he has been fortunate to have people willing to give him honest feedback on what he creates.“I used friends and family as a sounding board,” he said.

That said he tries not to force the creative process either.“If I get frustrated with something I set it down for a while and then come back to it,” he said.
The earless bear notwithstanding, Barabash kept at it.
And now Barabash is focused on carving.

The documents also reveal Myles Sanderson has had some 59 criminal convictions that included several weapons charges and repeatedly kicking a police officer in the face during a 2018 arrest.Ayear earlier in 2017, Sanderson broke into the home of an ex-girlfriend and punched a hole through a bathroom door where children were hiding in the bathroom for safety, according to the parole board documents.
◆Editorial◆
In the wake of these tragic events are serious questions that need to be answered as to why Myles Sanderson — already wanted for breaching his probation — was allowed to be out on parole in the first place.
The three-week period will see paint nights, self-guided tours, a ‘Woodlands Wonder Walk’ at the Yorkton Ravine Ecological Preserve, wheat straw weaving, dance, music, theatre and much more.That is the essence of culture. It permeates so much of what we do.
Of course history and culture are very closely related.
Yes, there are those who might suggest it centres on the holy trinity of sport – hockey, lacrosse and curling –but culture is a bit more complex than the sports we love.
It’s interesting how history does connect with the cultures which have contributed to this country.
It might be watching highland dancing one day, marveling at the athleticism of the jumps of Ukrainian dancers another night, and then ‘feel’ the drumbeat of powwow dancing on a third evening.Itmight be poutine, or Nanaimo bars, or a cup of masala chai tea, or a fish taco, which have all become a rather common part of Canadian cuisine.
So become involved. Celebrate our culture, and ‘Immerse yourself in the art culture of the community.’
O’Soup said helping sponsor the dinner is one way of preserving history for all “Wecultures.can all work together to bring that history back … It’s part of our historyIt’stoo.”also about connecting with the community, said O’Soup, by bringing “the community together with our Indigenous peoples.”
Also,Melfort.among those now believed to be murdered is Myles Sanderson’s brother, 31-year-old co-accused Damien Sanderson. His body was found on James Smith Cree Nation the day after the killing spree after reports he may have fled with his brother to Regina.

The great thing about our diversity is that there is something for everybody, and all of the activities and events are free of charge to the public—some of them you have to register in advance and some you are just able to come out and attend, said Kardynal.

It can be art, or books, a board game like crokinole, and yes most certainly our culture includes hockey, lacrosse, curling and in Saskatchewan the Roughriders too.
Of course in Canada we have developed a very diverse background starting with the struggle between French and English forces to eventually control the territory, with the huge aspect of First Nations people contributing to who we would become as a country – lacrosse being part of that influence.Andafter the three key cultures of the early days as this land moved toward becoming the Canada it is today people arrived from all around the world, becoming Canadian but often maintaining aspects of the countries they emigrated from.

“Your regular use of cocaine, marijuana, and hard alcohol would make you ‘lose your mind’ and that you can be easily angered when drunk, but are a different person when sober,” the parole documents state.

At around 10:15am, I struck off with my trusty green coloured walker I call ‘ John Deere’. In the basket of the walker, I put a bottle of water and my small purse – or so I thought.When I arrived at my hair salon, I noticed my purse was not in the basket! I must have laid it on the seat and not in the basket. It fell off and I didn’t notice. I was very upset! My family quickly back-tracked my route and checked my home, but my purse was gone. By now I envisioned my purse being tossed in a dumpster…all my identification, keys and some important records lost forever.Near tears, I called on my ‘Guardian Angels’ and they obliged. An extra ‘Special Person’ found my purse and turned it into the Police Station, but they never left their name.To that ‘Special Person’, I want to give a heartfelt and sincere ‘Thank You’ for your honesty and caring. It proves that there are good people in our City of Yorkton.Also,abig ‘Thank You’ to the Yorkton R.C.M.P. They tracked me down to my hair salon. A charming officer named ‘Joe’ handed me my lost purse, making this 95-year-old lady so very very happy and grateful. I could have just kissed him!

Buttons, wooden spools, toy soldiers, Hot Wheels cars, dice, Lego pieces, burned out Christmas lights, bolts and tiny padlocks might sound like the contents of a junk drawer in need of a good clean-out, but for Maureen Bachmann it’s a treasure trove to be mined for art.

Then there was the piece Bachmann called ‘Jurassic Car Park’ when a group of tiny toy dinosaurs stomp over a bunch of small toy vehicles.

In terms of a medium Bachmann said she can find stuff at thrift stores, discount places, and of course yard sales, when a box of buttons can be a huge“There’sfind. an endless supply of stuff,” she said, adding essentially recycling what many would see as junk into art “kind of speaks to me. . .

So a pro women’s league here would allow more players to get paid to play and to develop to a higher. Senft said she believes it will happen, but the ‘when’ remains very much unknown.

Canada won the contest 34-24, but Senft said it was a tougher than expected tilt.
So why the big change? There is after all quite a difference between the game of volleyball, isolated with your own team on one side of the net, and the in-the-trenches battles with the opponents on a rugby pitch.

Sharpe said he felt they had the defence set well, but the pass found the receiver and it was basically open field to the end zone.

“In Grade 9 they asked me to come out to a rugby practice. Basically, I just fell in love with the sport,” explained Senft.
“It was seeing the knowledge of the game, to have an open mindset,” she said, adding different countries have different approaches and strategies to the game and she tries to incorporate elements of what she saw into her own play.
“They came out to play harder than we thought,” Senft told Yorkton This Week in a recent interview.That Italy was fired up will likely prove a good thing as Canada fine tunes for their World Cup run Oct. 8, to Nov. 12 in
It will not be easy.
But, Senft said her connection to rugby goes beyond the physical aspect on the pitch.
Having played professionally in England, and with the emergence of Major League Rugby a pro men’s league for 15s in North America, does Senft think a women’s pro league will happen here?
The Eagles took the lead with a long toss to an opponent receiver who ran for six.
Chase Batke had 19 carries Friday rumbling for 234 yards and two TDs.
“We’re dedicating our entire summer to being ready . . . To be the best Canada we are able to show.”Senft said with more dedicated preparation than any time in the past the team is able “to challenge each other, to be our fittest, to be on point . . . to be ready to perform under pressure,” heading to World Cup.
As it stands just playing on Team Canada means a level of personal commitment the players in other contending countries do not face.
When Team Canada heads to New Zealand in October for the Women’s World Cup of rugby Regina’s Gabrielle Senft will be looking to impact things from her back row spot.Recently, Senft was in the fold as Canada hosted Italy in a sort of World Cup warm-up match. It was the first-ever visit by Italy to Canada, and only the second time the teams had met on the pitch.

But, a short plunge in the final minute of the opening half edged the host Gridders ahead 12-10.The late TD by Hayden Russell was huge, giving Yorkton a lead.
But, with rugby turning her head its way, she opted to attend the University of Victoria and was soon focused entirely on rugby.

Most dogs shed twice a year when the temperature changes in the spring and fall.
This process is characterized by increased fur loss due to exposure to outside light. Here’s what you need to know.
Dogs typically shed the most in the spring when a short, light one replaces their thick winter coat for summer. In the fall, this cycle is reversed. Dogs shed their summer coat to make room for a heavy protective one for winter. However, this can vary from one species to another. For example, shedding is more pronounced in longhaired dogs. The amount your furry friend sheds can also depend on its lifestyle. If your dog lives indoors, it may shed consistently throughout the year since temperature variations are less likely to affect it.
Brush your pet regularly and limit shampooing to once a month. Make sure you use a product specially designed for dogs. In addition, shedding treatments can help remove dead
Keep an eye out for excessive or abnormal shedding, which is often a disease symptom or a nutrition problem. If in doubt, consult your veterinarian.

Dad lived to a considerable age, his heart giving out one day, but one wonders.
You can control how much your dog sheds by taking good care of its coat.
Of course change is not new in farming.
The majority of crop damage this past week was attributed to wind and grasshoppers. Strong winds blew swaths around fields and will result in yield loss and a difficult harvest for affected producers. Strong winds are likely to shell out very ripe crops leading to crop yield reductions as well. Grasshoppers will continue to be a significant problem until conditions are less favourable for them. Producers have noticed a slight increase of ergot fungus in their cereal fields this year, likely due to the increase in precipitation received during the crop flowering
Wind has been an issue as it has blown around swathed crops such as spring wheat and canola, producers hope they can pick up the swaths before more wind lowers their yield potential.Grasshoppers have become a larger issue for producers in the region as they move out of areas that have been harvested to fields with standing crops.There have been multiple combine or stubble fires in the drier parts of the region, but damage was minimal since producers are taking every precaution they can.
Crops are quickly ripening after a week of hot, dry weather; producers are actively harvesting or swathing crops as they become ready and harvest is becoming more general in the region.

KLUK - It is with much love that we celebrate the life of Ben Kluk, who passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving wife and family on Saturday, September 3, 2022 at the age of 90 years. Arslie Benjamin (Benny) Kluk was born to Harry Kluk and Lena (Kurylowich) on January 16, 1932, at his family’s homestead near Benito, MB. He was the fifth of eight children. From an early age, Ben helped out around on the family farm. Ben graduated from Benito High School at the age of 17. In December of 1956, Ben moved to Yorkton where he began his career with Swift Canadian Company. Growing up Benny and his family attended many church functions in Arran, Saskatchewan, it was there, in his early teens, that he met his future wife, Violet Sikora. Benny and Violet were married in Arran, on July 27, 1957. Soon after being married, they made their home in Yorkton and began raising their five children, Benny’s pride and joy were always his children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren. Always a hard worker, Benny became a Registered Meat Cutter, and on days off from Swifts he worked at OK Economy. After 32 years, Swifts closed and Ben began working at Harvest Meats. He fondly remembered his time there as the best working years of his life. Ben always held high regard for Ken Propp, the culture of Harvest meats, and the co-workers he had there. Ben retired at the age of 65, which allowed him and Violet the opportunity to travel to many destinations, including Hawaii and the Maritimes. Ben had a special passion for sports: baseball, hockey, curling, basketball, and the Saskatchewan Roughriders were his television entertainment. Their yard was a point of pride, even winning an award for best front yard in Yorkton. Ben’s faith was very important to him. He and Vi would often be seen at St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in the 3rd pew on the right-hand side on Saturday evenings and every religious celebration. Ben also belonged to the Knights of Columbus and the brotherhood on which he served as president and worked on many committees. Ben volunteered for many years in Yorkton by delivering meals on wheels to those in need. The biggest challenge Ben faced was his rare health condition. The tremors he had progressively affected his mobility as he aged. Several years ago, Ben was asked to partake in a study conducted by Neurologist Dr. Ali Rajput, from Saskatoon, who took up the challenge, and is conducting research in hopes of learning more about Ben and his family’s rare disease. Benny was passionate to further Dr. Rajput’s knowledge in hopes to advance treatment for those with the condition. Benny will be dearly missed by all those who knew and loved him. Predeceased by his parents Harry and Lena, sisters and brothers-in-law, Mary & Nick Malayney, Victoria & John Hunko, Patricia & Morris Dick, Elsie Myzak, George Skrepnek, Mike Genik, and in childhood Rose Marie Kluk. He is survived by his loving wife of 65 years Violet, daughter Brenda (Barry) Marianchuk, sons David (Gail) Kluk, Don Kluk, James (Naomi) Kluk and Kevin (Shelley) Kluk; his sisters, Julie Skrepnek and Theresa Genik and brother Mursel (Marge) Kluke.

Andy was born on April 29, 1943 to Harry and Anne Woloschuk. He was the fifth eldest of nine siblings. Andy attended Oslon school in the rural municipality of Cana. After completing Grade 8, he left school to work on the family farm. In 1968, Andy was united in marriage to Fran Woloschuk (Varga) in Melville, SK. They were married for 54 years. Andy and Fran were blessed with two children, Shannon in 1969 and Michael in 1970. Andy worked hard on the farm but in 1977, he started working for the City of Melville, commuting into town daily until 1984 when the farm was sold and the family moved into Melville. Andy retired in 2003 but he continued to help his daughter and son-in-law on their farm. Following Andy’s retirement, Andy and Fran moved from Melville to Yorkton where they resided for 16 years until moving to Saskatoon in 2019 to be closer to Shannon and his grandsons. In his spare time and throughout his retirement, Andy was an avid fisherman throughout all the seasons and on a few occasions, he managed to reel in some big ones! He also enjoyed playing cards and tending his vegetable gardens and spending time with his family. Andy will be remembered by his family, friends and community for his kind nature, love for his family, willingness to help others, and his faith in the Roman Catholic church where he was a member until his passing. Andy was predeceased by his parents Harry (1987) and Anne (2002) Woloschuk, his brother Hilary (1953), sister Joan (2020), brother-in-law’s Julius Kormos, Hans Schlueschen (Chris), Don Marasa (Phyllis), Clarence Zolondek (Marian), Eugene Hawreluik, William Birrell, and sister in-law Joyce Hawreluik.

Brian (as he preferred to be called) was born in Regina in March 1932. It was there that he met the love of his life, Maxine Amon. They were married on July 1, 1958. Brian worked for SaskTel until one day he and a friend decided to write the entrance exams for the University of Regina. Brian was immediately accepted and began what would be a lifelong passion for learning. Brian completed his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 1970, followed by a Masters’ degree in 1973. Although his education revolved around psychology, his passions included philosophy, religion, physics and history. Brian was a voracious reader, whether it be Haiku or science fiction. Brian even wrote his own science fiction trilogy. The universe in all its mysterious glory fascinated him. Following a lengthy career as a Clinical Psychologist with the Government of Saskatchewan, Brian retired and began work on his Doctor of Philosophy through Fielding University. Maxine and Brian would travel to seminars together; the year of his practicum in Washington was a difficult separation but allowed Brian to achieve another milestone, his doctorate. Brian said the two most exciting aspects of his time in Fielding were the internship in Washington DC and a dissertation of original research. Maxine was the main inspiration and driver of that research. Although a brilliant man, he will be best remembered as a kind, gentle man. Always a patient listener, he never sought to tell you what to do, but rather hoped to discuss how for you to best find your own way. In some of his last words to Maxine, he said that he would now get the chance to see even more of the mysterious universe he studied and sought to understand for so long. As he starts this new journey, he will be deeply missed by his wife Maxine, his daughters Terrea Woodward- Friesen (Ben), Shaleen Woodward (Meredith), grandchildren Sara (Eric) and Troy, great-grandchildren Henrik and Elise as well as loving family Patricia and Barry Mackenzie (Camila, Tara, Matt and their spouses and children), Elaine Appleby, Peter Appleby, Selina Priebe (Dan, Lance and Lucas) and so many treasured friends. The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude for all the support that friends and neighbours have provided to both Maxine and Brian. Cremation and Funeral Arrangments have been entrusted to Tubman’s Funeral Home in cooperation with Bailey’s Funeral Home.

Gloria enjoyed writing letters to many pen pals in her younger years, always looking forward to meeting new people in this way. Some of her family tree consisted of cowboys, giving her an interest in horses. She was given a name out west of a farming cowboy from Saskatchewan. Gloria began her seven-year penpalship with her future husband Dick Richard Ivanochko, before meeting in person for the first time at Christmas. Dick and Gloria were married on September 16, 1972. They raised their family consisting of three boys and one girl on Dick’s family farm near Hubbard, SK. She had a great love for bingo, and utilized her winnings to purchase dirt bikes and old snowmobiles for her boys and to provide meals for numerous family gatherings. She selflessly gave and shared with others, her greatest intentions were to create special memories, and memorable moments. Gloria’s declining mobility with Parkinson’s, required more care in the new year of 2022 with her residing in Yorkton at Wallace House. Her final days consisted of her favourite things, family, music, laughter, and making memories. On September 3, listening to her favourite hymn to play and sing, Count Your Blessings, Gloria transitioned from this physical world passing peacefully with her family at her side. She leaves behind a legacy of wonderful memories for all those who knew and loved her. Gloria leaves behind her beloved husband, Dick Richard Ivanochko; son, Gerald (Darla) Ivanochko and their children, Brendan (Kendall) and Ashley; son, Cliff; son, John (Jessica) Ivanochko and their children, Rebecca and Charlotte; daughter, Christal (Kyle) Rathgeber and their children Kassie and Jayden; her brother, Larry (Alice) Lucky, among many other in-laws, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. Gloria was predeceased by numerous grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and her parents, Gerald and Evelyn Lucky. The Funeral Service was held on Thursday, September 8, 2022 in the Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre, Yorkton, SK with Crystal Bailey, Certified Celebrant, officiating.

FALKOWSKY - Sylvia Falkowsky (Bortnak) passed peacefully at home with her family around her on Friday evening, September 2, 2022. Born 1929 on the family farm in Mazeppa, just outside Yorkton, SK. She was one of six children born to Sam and Kay Bortnak. On October 22, 1947, she married Alf Falkowsky. They made their home in Yorkton. While Alf ran his business, Yorkton Auto Body, she managed the home and family along with working part time jobs.

Brothers Peter (Ruth), John and sisters Sonia (Allan), Betty. Sylvia lived her life simple, their home was always the gathering place for family and friends. Her and Alf were able to do some travelling, they enjoyed their yard and garden, and most evenings were spent playing cards. In fact, she was playing cribbage right up to the end with whoever would play her, always wanting just one more game for “Champion”! She was an active member of Yorkton United Church, serving on the UCWL for over 50 years. After Alf’s passing she remained in Yorkton till 2012, when she decided to make the move to Watrous. She loved her home here and visits from family and friends. One thing she always looked forward to was playing cards with the group at the Senior Center twice a week. An amazing mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She will be missed by so many. A private graveside service will be held in Yorkton at a later date.

On November 1, 1958 Lawrence was united in marriage to Anne Oystreck and the couple were blessed with two daughters. His first job following the farming was driving a fuel truck for Saltcoats Co-op. He then turned to a sales career, first with Yorkton MarshallWells before joining Sears which spanned over 25 years and finally with Weber’s Furniture until he retired in 2004. Lawrence and Anne were faithful members of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Yorkton since 1959, serving on the social committee for many years. He loved hunting and fishing with family and friends and enjoyed golfing once he retired. Lawrence loved travelling with Anne and their many friends and family. He loved to barbeque; his contribution to meal planning for family and friends. It was always a perfect steak, pork chop or burger done by him. An avid Yorkton Terrier fan, Lawrence was a season ticket holder for over 40 years. Lawrence is lovingly remembered by his two daughters, Karen and Cheryl; grandsons Corey (Caitlin) and Kyle Fransishyn, Brennan (Kendra) and Cameron Yaremko; granddaughter Alanna Yaremko; son-in-laws Mitch Fransishyn and Willard Yaremko.

flowering bulbs? Our tulips this year gave us an unprecedented show, and we try to add new bulbs to the collection each year. (For those of you who remember our Toby, his orange tulips are still doing well!) Tulips come in so many colors, shapes and sizes, from diminutive singles to flamboyant doubles, there is one for any garden space. Tulips will arrive now, to be planted this fall. They like to be planted quite deep, in a sunny location, and please, never plant them in a row. Plant them in a circle, in a drift, in a clump…but a straight row will really diminish their beauty and impact.

Lakshmi died of AIDS a few years after my visit. She doesn’t need her concrete box anymore, nor her scarred body. And the day will come when I won’t need my little building or this aging body. For believers, these earthly frames are nothing in comparison to the miracle of having Christ dwell within. In resurrected bodies, we’ll enjoy our Heavenly home, built by divinely perfect love.

“I have worked with many mediums before, from drawing and painting to video and photography,” he said. “The last 10 or so years, I have been mostly focusing on books and publications.
“I can’t say that I have a preference. To me, books and publications have the potential to travel, and are complete on their own, like portable exhibitions.”
One of Ho Tam’s art works.
Continued from Page A18 of photographs.”HoTam,whoborn in Hong Kong when it was a British colony, but moved to Toronto with his family in his teen years said for inspiration he simply lives life.
“In the beginning I was mostly self taught -- besides classes in elementary school. I took a part time course in commercial art and got a job in advertising. But I did not find it exactly satisfying and I began painting and drawing on my own. Later, after I was making and showing my art for a number of years, I went back to grad school for a master’s degree.”
As for a preferred medium, Ho Tam takes a varied approach to creating works.
