GOOD SPIRIT LAKE – Over the weekend of Sept. 16-18, a MultiJurisdictional Search Exercise was held at Good Spirt Lake and Provincial Park with a command post stationed at Good Spirt Bible Camp.
“With responders and volunteers, we’re at about 125 people,” said Brears, adding, “we’ve got the entire RCMP search and rescue team here, we have EMS, local fire, Sask Public Safety—a whole bunch of emergency organizers.”

The games in Yorkton were part of a series of tourney’s leading up to the championship weekend to be hosted in Sturgis Sept. 24 and 25, where the top team will earn the Harvest Cup.
Olden Knights host SFLL tourney
With the pandemic in 2020, no SFLL season took place due to provincial health guidelines which prohibited any provincial competition.
Brears said the exercise was based on a conceivable disaster scenario.
In 2019, the league gained two new members in the Moose Jaw Tommy Guns and Sturgis 9-1-1, which began the festival format that is still present today. Also, the Saskatoon Plainsmen were officially welcomed as a take over from Saskatoon Field LC.
“Our SARSAV (Search and Rescue Saskatchewan Association of Volunteers) teams are totally volunteer based—so these people are here on their own time, mostly on their own dime—and they’re here for a great training opportunity to further assist the province if someone goes missing,” saidBrearsBrears.said that the exercises like this give much needed attention to the volunteers-based organizations.
“What we’re doing is we’re grouping them all together—we’ve given them a tornado scenario and they need to manage through that scenario and ultimately find some missing people throughout the day and hopefully rescue them successfully,” said Brears.
Both seasoned veterans and people new to search and rescue had involvement in the training exercise.
“The seasoned veterans can go in the field and walk through the bush and stuff that they normally probably don’t do because they’re typically in a command role,” said Brears, adding, “we’re going to stick the green people in the command role and let them run with it,” and, “if they mess up, that’s good, because that’s how you learn and this a controlled environment.”
Olden Knights win one of three Saturday on home soil.
“Those seasoned veterans—what we try to do is not put them in key roles so that the up and comers can learn at this exercise—if they make mistakes here that’s ok,” said Brears.

“Tonight, we’ll debrief—tomorrow we’ve got bear safety presentations, and critical incident stress management and radio efficiency—to sharpen those skills if they do need,” said Brears.
Brears discussed details of the mock disaster scenario.
“It definitely brings attention to search and rescue because we do rely on fundraising—we’re donation based as well—we don’t get regular funding for anything we do, so it brings attention to the cause,” said Brears.
The newest addition to the league came in 2021, as the Prince Albert Prairie Dogs became the sixth team in the league.
“A tornado in this area is a very real possibility, so it brings attention to the first responders who may be arriving at a scene like that in this local area,” said Brears, adding, “it lets them know the terrain, it lets them know the local community and it gives them an idea of what they’re walking into.”
Yorkton then dropped a 7-2 decision to the Saskatoon Plainsmen, with Stewart and Wizniak sniping the Olden Knight goals.The Olden Knights had one last chance to win on home soil facing Regina Southern Comfort and they would win a squeaker 8-7.

It is a world where hockey games, and lots of them, are on the television or online, every night. There are simply more options for even the most avid fan to easily find their fill of the game.
When the team does well, the arena becomes the place to be, and on five occasions now the Terriers have made it all the way to the national championship tournament, hosting the Royal Bank Cup in 1999, and finally winning the coveted championship in 2014.

Here it comes, the season between summer and winter! Would you call it Autumn or Fall? Autumn is thought to be slightly older, appearing in the 1300s, with the word fall first appearing around the 1500s in reference to leaves falling off trees. An even earlier name for the season is harvest. The English who settled the eastern American seaboard brought the word Fall with them from the homeland; the English who stayed home eventually adopted the word Autumn. Nowadays in England “Fall” sounds archaic and poetic, but in North America “Autumn” has those connotations. Interested in poetry? Join our Book Spine Poetry contest during Yorkton 2022 Culture days.

It’s why we all tend to get more “conservative” as we get older. Some hate to admit it, but we all have at least a little conservativism in us.
But as we emerge from the tensions of recent years, maybe now is as good a time for all of us to take stock of our own beliefs and see how they best fit this ever-changing world.
This definition may also explain why so many people in this part of the world define themselves as “conservatives.”
Our very livelihood revolves around agriculture and non-renewable resources. And while there is absolutely no doubt these industries have required constant change and technical innovation, they are based on the stable notion the resources will always be there to be harvested.There will be oil and potash in the ground that people want. We will see the consistency of a fall harvest followed by a winter in which we and the land will recover for planting in the spring.This doesn’t explain everything about today’s politics, but it does at least help us partly understand today’s political upheaval and why it can be difficult for conservatives.

If the community support is there who knows what great memories might be created in the next 50 years.
Whether it the social change that forces us to confront past prejudices and racism ingrained in our culture and history or confronting the realities of a changing world, we’ve been reminded of late that change is as difficult as it is inevitable.Eventherecent death of Queen Elizabeth II — the longest reigning British monarch on the throne for 70 years — is a reminder that people and the institutions are not with us forever.
politicalchallengesChangingworldviews
The Queen’s death now has many thinking about how we should now view the Monarchy in Canada.Thatwe couldn’t agree on a national holiday to commemorate the passing of our Head of State speaks to the complexities of today’s world where nothing seems simple.
Along the way there have of course been countless ‘heroes’ wearing the familiar Terrier jersey from the likes of Darrell Spelay and Bob Burak to Nathan Lutz and Devin Rask to Chad Nehring and Chantz Petruic.
The world is undergoing economic, environmental social and political change that’s happening at a rate faster than most of us can process.Some of it has to do with the rapid rise in technologies in the past few decades that’s resulted in everything from today’s instant Internet and social media communication to advances in science that provided us with vaccines to fight the coronavirus. Remember how no one imagined we could get a vaccine this quickly wen COVID19 first hit?

While it has been field lacrosse at Harvard, Madronic said he doesn’t expect there to be a big adjustment back to box –the game he grew up playing, including as a junior with Victoria, where he put up 14 multi-goal games, 28 multi-point games and suited up for one Minto Cup final.

The left-shot defenseman played this past season with Langley Jr. A, and put up two goals and five assists in 13 games, and is also playing up with the Langley Sr. A in the 2022 Mann Cup from September 8-18th.
In the third round, with the 49th overall pick, the Rush selected Cameron Badour. The 6-foot-4 forward spent his past four seasons at Duke University. In 38 career games, the Ottawa product notched 24 goals and 12 assists.Heading into the fourth round, Saskatchewan selected Jeremy Searle 64th overall, then for the 80th overall pick, from Coquitlam, BC, the Rush selected 6-foot 185-pound forward Gabriel Procyk. Then with their final selection the Rush picked left-shot forward Carter Brand.

So now it’s a case of waiting for camp to see where Madronic fits into the Rush’s plan.
5-3 in their first game and 3-1 in their second game. The goal of the event was to promote female hockey in the Parkland area. A female hockey camp open to youth girls from U7-U18 was held in conjunction with the games.
“I know I’ll probably play offence,” he said, adding he has talked to Rush Coach Jimmy Quinlan but there wasn’t a lot of detail regarding plans.“It’s all up in the air,” he Sosaid.what have the Rush gotten in drafting Madronic.Well, he’s from Victoria, B.C., and the 1999-born, right shot played the past four seasons with Harvard University and prior to that, he was with the Victoria Jr. A Shamrocks. Last season with Harvard, Madronic lead the team in goals, notching 30 goals and 14 assists in 13 games.
As for the Rush being the team to call his name, Madronic said he wasn’t sure who would make him their pick.
When the dust settled Yorkton had scored a whopping 86 points, the host team not a single one.
Of course Madronic said he also realizes the NLL is where the best players in lacrosse play, including great goaltenders which he’ll need to deal with as an offensive player.“It’ll definitely be a challenge that I’m looking forward to embracing,” he Madronicsaid.said his field style, working hard off ball and being willing to do the little things, should translate well to the NLL.

hop, skip and a jump away from the family yard. On June 26, 1950 he was united in marriage with Annie Petroschuk. They farmed in the Hamton district until 1986 when they retired, but remained on the farm. During those early years, Merlin did a brief stint as a grain buyer at the Parrish and Heimbecker elevator in Hamton. He also held the position of secretary treasurer of the Hamton Snow Plow Club. In later years after they moved to Yorkton he became a member of the Knights of Columbus. Merlin played the guitar and had many sessions with Ed and Orest Machushek and crew playing and singing into the early mornings. Jennifer and Debbie remember these well. In April 1992 Merlin and Annie moved to Yorkton. After Annie’s passing in 1996, Merlin continued to live at 375 1st Ave. He planted a garden until the age of 93 when he found it a little too difficult to care for. He canned tomatoes, froze peas and beans, etc. He also looked after his sister Evelyn while she lived in her home until she went to live in the Yorkton nursing home. At the age of 96 he decided it was time to move to the Bentley where he didn’t have to cook, do laundry or care for the house. He moved there in June of 2021 and after 11 days of living in the Bentley he had a fall which put him the hospital for a brief time and then moved to the Kamsack Nursing home where he lived until his passing. Merlin attended St Gerard’s Church regularly and volunteered as a dishwasher and helper on perogie making days. He had many old friends there and made many new ones. He thoroughly enjoyed all the time he spent at St. Gerard’s. Merlin was very proud of his grandchildren and great grandchildren whom he got to know and they knew him calling him Grandpa Merlin. Merlin is predeceased by his loving wife Annie, parents Henry and Isa, sisters Evelyn and Irene Bellows, brother Vernice, brother-in-law Jack and sister-in-law Lena Poppenhiem, nephew Barry Poppenhiem, brother-in-law Mel Bellows, brother-in-law John and sister-in-law Bonnie Petroschuk, nephew Ralph Petroschuk, and special friend Minnie Senchuk. He leaves to cherish and keep his memory alive daughters and their families Debra (Ed) Keyowski of the Hamton District and Jennifer (Jim) Colloton of the Isla de la Bahia Roatan, Honduras, grandchildren Dana (Grant) Giesbrecht of Warman and Garrett (Brie-Anne) of the Hamton district, Abby Popowich of Calgary and Sarah Popowich of Yorkton, greatgrandchildren Dane and Jackson Giesbrecht, Jevon and Layla Keyowski and Destiny Witzko of Snowden. along with numerous nieces, nephews and friends. Prayers were held on Sunday, September 18th with Mary Bybliw presiding. The Funeral Mass was held on Monday, September 19 at St. Gerard’s Roman Catholic Church in Yorkton with Rev. Fr. Louis Kim Nguyen as the Celebrant. The crossbearer was Jackson Giesbrecht. The scripture readers were Grant Giesbrecht and Brie-Anne Keyowski. The general intersessions were led by Caitlyn & Kelsey Woloschuk. Serving as gift bearers were Jevon and Layla Keyowski. Members of the Knights of Columbus held an honour guard. Orest & Bernice Machushek, Ed & Dora Machushek, Wayne Senchuk, Bob Poppenheim, Evan Cuss, Ken Petroschuk, Andy Filipchuk were recognized as honorary pallbearers. Words of remembrance were shared by Ed Keyowski. The interment followed in the Yorkton City Cemetery with Dana Giesbrecht, Garrett Keyowski, Sarah Popowich, Dane Giesbrecht, Richard Purves and Kelly Woloschuk serving as the casket bearers.

MROSKE - Merlin James, of the Kamsack and District Nursing Home and formerly of Yorkton and the Hamton district, beloved husband of Annie Mroske (nee Petroschuk) passed away September 10, 2022 at the Yorkton Reginal Heath Centre after suffering a stroke on September 5, 2022. He was 97 years, 2 months and 15 days of age. Merlin was born June 26, 1925 to Henry and Isa (Hammond) Mroske in the back of a Model T ford on the way to the Yorkton Hospital. He always liked to tell the story of how it was said that his Dad’s hat was blown off his head and his Mom, while in labor in the back seat reached up and caught it with one hand. Merlin grew up on the farm, along with his sisters, Irene Bellows and Evelyn and brother Vernice. Doing all the chores with cattle, chickens, pigs and seeding, haying and harvesting.
Gene was an active volunteer and was always involved in activities including with his church, local minor and junior hockey, the Yorkton (Legacy) Co-op for 42 years, the Yorkton Flour Mill project and many other charities and causes. He was always a leader in whatever he joined, many times going beyond being a Committee Member and frequently being chosen to be the President, Chairperson, and Governor. Gene loved his sports and being involved with the Yorkton Terriers and the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Honours for his hard work included being the Yorkton Sportsman on the Year (1990), induction in the Yorkton Sports Hall of Fame as a Builder (2003), Junior Hockey Award from Hockey Canada (2005), the SJHL Hall of Fame (2011) and the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal (2019). He was an avid sports fan who cheered on the Terriers, Riders, Blue Jays and of course his favourite, the Toronto Maple Leafs. Gene loved spending time with his family and especially enjoyed lake life and travel. As for hobbies, Gene loved golfing, fishing, curling, bowling, playing cards, pottery, stain glass, gardening, yard work, carpentry, and generally being a jack of all trades. He was always ready to lend a hand to help family and friends with their projects. For Gene, the act of his teaching/guiding was truly practiced throughout his life time, up to the last hour of his life. Most recently Gene and his wife Gladys set up the Krepakevich Fund for families with the Yorkton and District Community Foundation to provide annual grants to a local charity for projects that support families in need. Gene is predeceased by his parents, his wife Marie, his son Bradley, his son Bruce, his daughter Kellene, his brothers Carl, Sunny and Dan.

He also leaves his brother Jerry (Daphne), extended family Sandra (Charles), Marvin (May), seven extended grandchildren, five extended great grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and friends. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him. The funeral service was held on Friday, September 16, 2022 from Westview United Church in Yorkton with Rev. Deborah Smith officiating.

RUSNAK - Olga Rusnak (Lessak), age 93, passed away on September 6, 2022 at Extendicare Preston long term care home with her family by her side after a yearlong struggle following a stroke. Olga was born on April 15, 1929 on the family farm 6 miles south of Insinger, SK to parents George and Mary Lessak (nee Essar). After completing grade 9 at War End School, she stayed home to help out on the family farm. She lived on the farm with her family until marrying John Rusnak on September 5, 1948, then moved to a farm of their own in the Insinger District. Olga and John moved to Yorkton in 1967 to begin managing apartment buildings while continuing to operate the farm until 1993. Olga began working in the housekeeping department at Yorkton Union Hospital following her daughter Gail’s death in 1969. She did this as a way to continue moving forward as she grieved the loss of Gail. After John’s death in 2001, she continued to live in Yorkton until moving to Saskatoon in the summer of 2009 to be close to her children and grandchildren. Olga loved to host people and offered warm hospitality. She loved to be surrounded by good company and made sure everyone was well-fed and taken care of. She was a member of Sts. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Orthodox Church at Insinger while on the farm, and Holy Transfiguration Church while in Yorkton. She always kept busy with her church and auditorium functions, the Ukrainian Women’s Association, and the church choir. Faith and traditions were very important to Olga, and she shared and instilled these values in her family, who fondly remember and celebrate them. Olga loved to travel and to be on airplanes. She and John took many trips including to Hawaii, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Disneyland, Mexico, and Alaska. She continued to travel after John passed and took some memorable cruises with her children and grandchildren including one to watch her granddaughter, Chelsea, perform on the Holland America cruise ship, Oosterdam. Olga was thrifty with a dollar but incredibly generous with her family. She worked hard to make sure her children and grandchildren were supported through education, careers, and life transitions. The family would like to extend thanks to the staff at Extendicare Preston in Saskatoon who went above and beyond in providing exceptional care and support through Olga’s last days. We will forever treasure her life and the lessons she left with us. She was predeceased by her father George Lessak in 1947; daughter Gail Rusnak in 1969; mother Mary Maksymetz in 1999; husband John Rusnak in 2001; brother Ernie Lessak in 2018; and grandson-in-law Joshua Wong in 2020. Memories forever cherished by her son Irvin Rusnak (Gwen) of Saskatoon; daughter Colette Ebert (Glenn) of Saskatoon; grandchildren Chelsea Wong, Jason Rusnak, Colton Ebert, and Alexandra Ebert; great granddaughter Emery Wong; sisters Eileen Hnatuik, Dorothy Sitko, Emily Moldowan; brother Wilf Lessak (Helga); numerous nieces, nephews, and many other relatives and friends. The Funeral Service was held on Tuesday, September 13, 2022 from the Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre with Rev. Fr. Michael Faryna of Holy Transfiguration Ukrainian Orthodox Church officiating. Cantor, Jason Kopan led in the singing of the responses. The interment followed in the Garden of Crucifixion with Colton Ebert, Randy Hnatuik, Daryl Lessak and Jay Porath serving as the casketbearers. Condolences can be left at baileysfuneralhome.com

WOHLGEMUTH - Norman Donald Wohlgemuth was born to John P. and Martha Wiebe Wohlgemuth on October 13, 1937 at Steinbach, MB. He completed his earthly journey on September 6, 2022, during harvest, his favorite time of year, reaching the age of 84 years. Dad was the ninth of eleven siblings who all loved each other dearly and was blessed with a happy childhood. His nine years of schooling were in the Clearsprings one room school. He gave his heart to God at age 16 and was baptized into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite on November 8, 1953. He deeply loved the Lord and the Church, being faithful, by God’s grace until the end. He talked frequently about his winters in the bush camps and summers on road construction. Dad married our Mother Darleen, Penner, on April 16, 1963. Their home was a sanctuary of love, respect and devotion for nearly sixty years. With adventure and God’s leading, they purchased and moved to a farm near Bredenbury, SK in 1966. The neighbors welcomed them warmly and became dear friends. In those early years fellowship with the few families at Roblin, MB was frequent and special. Dad was ordained to the ministry on March 17, 1972. He loved his people and endeavoured to labor to the best of his ability. Some of his duties led to entreaties with government authorities on behalf of our schools. Dad’s kind heart and quiet gentle manner were known to all. He held to the belief that we can never pray too many prayers. We children all felt Dad’s unconditional love and care for us both physically and spiritually. He faithfully taught us to be careful stewards and thankful for the Lord’s blessings and provision. As the family grew to include in-laws and grandchildren, each one was precious. Dad enjoyed his many years of farming grain and livestock. He taught us the blessing of work, and by his example, to be of service to others. Dad loved to take us on family trips. Singing was always a highlight. These were enjoyable memory makers. Dad and Mom moved off the farm in 2005 into Bredenbury. He maintained an ongoing interest in farming, taking pleasure in helping us boys. Through the last years, Dad’s steps grew slower, taking away the joy of living. After one week in the hospital, he went to eternal rest with Mom and all us children around him. He will be deeply missed by his loving and caring wife, Darleen, his children: Heidi and Laurel Wiebe, Bredenbury, SK; Galen and Valerie, Saltcoats, SK; Carol and Don Thiessen Wanhan, AB; John and Candace, Bredenbury, SK; Mark and Jana, Bredenbury, SK; Sylvia and Darrell Litwiller, Aberdeen, Mississippi; Gary and Charlene, Bredenbury, SK. Twenty-seven grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren; sisters Olive Toews, and Frances Goossen; brothers–in-law: Earl and Daphne Penner, Roy and Diane Penner, Lawrence and Bonny Penner; sisters-in-law, Libby Wohlgemuth, Verna Penner, Josephine and Gary Martens, Mabel Penner. He was predeceased by his parents, parents-in-law, five brothers, three sisters and one great grandson. Funeral services were held on September 11, 2022 at the Bredenbury Congregation, Saltcoats, SK. Min. Tim Warkentin and Min. Narceno Cano officiated. Burial was in the church cemetery.

That she died barely forty-eight hours after greeting Britain’s new Prime Minister and farewelling the former, reminds me how well God enabled her to keep her earlier promises to her people to devote her “whole life, whether it be long or short” to their service and to strive with all her heart, “to be worthy of (their) trust.”

Before parting ways, the pair handed their camera to the Queen, requesting she take a photo of themselves with “the man who knew the Queen.” They never suspected they’d just met herThethemselves.Queen often gave clear witness to her faith in Jesus Christ, whose teachings she said had guided her throughout all her

Farewell to a beloved servant Queen
The Yorkton and District Horticultural Society is having in-person meetings again. Our first meeting of the season will be on Wednesday, September 21, 6:30 PM, and will be a field trip! We will be learning, on site, about the City of Yorkton composting project at the Yorkton Landfill, north of the city.

our plants, perhaps ten days to two weeks before frost. We can start off by bringing them in at night, and talking them out in the daytime, just to get them slowly adjusted to the new temperature.
Fall is full of many tasks in our gardens: har vesting, transplanting, cleaning up. But it’s all satisfying work as the garden year begins to slow down. Thank you to our friends at YTW for their great work. Visit the hort society at www. yorktonhort.ca and have a great week!
begin cleaning things up and pulling things out, but many of us want to wait. The garden is still growing, still playing catch-up from the setbacks of early summer. We have a lot of volunteer cosmos that are bobbing gently in the breeze in our garden, but the bees and other pollinators are loving them, so we don’t want to pull them out yet. Likewise with our volunteer borage, another bee favorite. Our bee garden is doing very well in the new location, so we are leaving that alone for the time being.And of course, we want to get every growing day we can for the tomatoes and peppers. We have already pulled up our onions. Someone asked me the other day: how do we know it is time to pull the onions?
Your plant may need to be transplanted. Do this early so that the plant is not going through the shock of transplanting and the shock of a new location all at once.

At the time of the death of Queen Elizabeth II at age 96, a double rainbow appeared over Buckingham Palace, and a single one over Windsor Castle.

Please note the revised time for this meeting only.Well, gardeners, we went from struggling in the heat to watching the weather forecast for frost, almost overnight.
