Celebrate Canada Day!
Sitting home is not where you will want to be this coming Monday. Instead why not venture out to the Western Development Museum grounds to Celebrate Canada Day by joining in for a “Good Old Fashioned Family Picnic”? Get ready for a fun afternoon that the entire family can enjoy! There will be hay rides, novelty booths, face painting, an inflatable bouncer and restored fire truck rides. Kids of all ages can take part in games and relays, as well as go on a Canadian-themed treasure hunt to win some great loot! For the adults, new caches for the “Great Canadian GPS Quest” will be set up, plus vintage vehicle buffs will enjoy the display by the Yorkton Antique Auto Association. Handcrafted decorative ceramics by local artist Sonya Pawliw will be on site as well as artwork from students of the local high schools.

GROWING TREES requires a bit of work, and this process is putting down mulch to protect newly planted trees in Logan Green. The plastic sheeting has holes cut for the recently planted trees, to prevent weed growth.
Eco buffer planted at Logan Green
By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
The Logan Green area recently saw a number of new trees get planted, with the plan to grow an eco buffer in the area. The effort is being coordinated by the Assiniboine Watershed Stewardship Association, and aided by Agriculture Canada and the City of Yorkton. Michael Buchholzer with the City of Yorkton says that between
the three groups, four thousand trees were planted in the Logan Green area, which will provide a shelter belt in that part of the city. The belt consists of a variety of shrubs, bushes and trees, all native species to the region, which protect each other to give a much stronger shelter belt than would otherwise be in place. “The bushes are planted on the outside of the eco buffer, and the trees are planted in the middle of the eco buffer. The bushes grow
up a lot faster and they spread quicker, so they protect the trees.” The purpose of the program at Logan Green is to get the area back to a more natural state after the extensive construction work done in the area. Buchholzer says that it will also provide protection from wind in the area, and should even protect the highway and Queen Street from snow drifting. Continued on Page 3.
Local RCMP are investigating a death that took place over the weekend and charges are pending. On Saturday, June 22 at 6 a.m., RCMP in Kamsack received a 911 call requesting members attend to a residence on the Keeseekoose First Nation. Officers from the Kamsack Detachment attended to the residence and discovered that an adult male was deceased inside the residence. Subsequently, an adult female was arrested at the scene without incident and taken in to custody. The scene was secured by investigators who contacted Major Crime investigators to attend. Facing a charge of 2nd degree murder as a result is Tania Quewezance, aged 39, from the Keeseekoose First Nation. Quewezance was to make her first court appearance in Yorkton Monday morning. The victim has been identified as 35-year-old Blain Allen Fiddler from Runnymede, Saskatchewan. A forensic autopsy is scheduled to take place this week in Saskatoon. The accused and victim were known to each other. Assisting in this investigation, along with the Provincial Coroner’s Service, are the following RCMP units: Regina Police Dog Services, Yorkton GIS, Yorkton Forensic investigation, and Yorkton Traffic Services, including the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.

Foundation support continues for better health Park addition helps with rehabilitation By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Getting back to normal is a challenge for everyone who goes through a major event such as a stroke, and now people in the region have an opportunity to recover in the outdoors. The Painted Hand Casino Park at Cornerstone Therapies provides an opportunity for rehabilitation in the outdoors, as well as a place for residents of the local nursing home and clients to enjoy the fresh air. Jacquie Holzmann,
director of therapies for the Sunrise Health Region says that the park is about getting clients ready to get back home. She notes that gardening is one of the major activities which people do in the park, and it is fully equipped with tools to allow clients to maintain the area. It also has fishing equipment, if clients are used to fishing in their regular lives, before they needed therapy. “The reason the park is such a unique and beneficial area is that it makes therapy more natural and more func-
tional. It’s really no different from some of the things people have to do at home,” Holzmann says. Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation, says that the park is another example of a program that wasn’t available in the region even a few years ago. With the program in place, people in the region have better access to rehabilitation and have an easier time getting back to their regular lives. “It’s better for the people who need therapy, it’s better health care all
KIDNEY HEALTH – The Health Foundation received $1,255 from the local initiatives part of the Gift of Life Relay, recently held in the city. The funds were raised through the raffle held at the event, as well as from local businesses who wanted to support a local cause, explains Audrey Parisloff (far right). The money will be directed towards the hemodialysis program, used for equipment maintenance and upgrades. Pictured above are (l-r) Diane Yesnik, Janice Hannah, nurses in the Hemodialysis program, Ross Fisher, Executive Director of the Health Foundation, Audrey Parisloff, organizer of the Gift of Life Relay in Yorkton, and Russell Kitchemonia (front), Hemodialysis patient.
around, and it’s a huge benefit for the community,” Fisher says. He also says that the entire therapies program, park included, is something that he is particularly proud of, and the many contributions from people and businesses in the community have made it possible. “There’s been hundreds of thousands of dollars that have gone into here, but it has made a difference in hundreds, if not thousands, of treatments per year that people had to go out for that they can now access locally.” The introduction of the park comes at the end of Stroke Awareness Month, and Holzmann says that while the park is used for rehab and by the nursing home, the stroke rehab program is a big part of why it exists. She says that it is always a good time to remind people of the warning signs of stroke, something she says people might not always recognize. Those warning signs are sudden weakness or numbness in the face, arm or leg, sudden difficulty speaking, sudden vision problems, a sudden severe or unusual headache or sudden dizziness, especially when combined with another sign. She says that anyone experiencing these symptoms needs to contact a doctor immediately, as quick response can improve the chances of survival and recovery.

New hotel officially opens doors in Yorkton By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Yorkton has a new hotel. The Days Inn and Suites has opened in the city, and is now serving guests at its location near the Parkland Mall. John Anderson, General Manager, says that he believes the new business is the top quality hotel in the city. He describes it as an “upper mid-class” hotel chain with an upgrade in the furniture and facilities available. The priority for Anderson is to create an atmosphere with a level of service that makes people want to return. “I take pride in all the properties that I manage. To me, guest service is number one, you don’t just meet the guests’ expectations, you exceed them, you want to go above and beyond what they are expecting when they walk in the doors,” Anderson says. While staffing might be a challenge, Anderson says that he has a solid core employees that has followed him from previous hotels which he has managed. He gives them credit for getting everyone trained and giving guests the experience that meets Days Inn standards. “We create an environment where people want to work here, they love to work here, they’re proud to be here, and it shows,” Anderson says. Days Inn and Suites is not the only new hotel in the city and Anderson says that this is because more hotels have been long overdue. He notes that at his previous hotel last summer, they were turning away 20 to 25 room nights away daily. The expanded accommodations are necessary for the growing city to handle an increased amount of travel. “I think there’s more than enough guests to go around,” Anderson concludes.

Finances look good By SHANNON DEVEAU N-R Writer
While there are a number of capital projects on the horizon Yorkton’s Director of Finance, Lonnie Kaal, reports that the city is in “good” shape, passing its annual financial audit with flying colors. The audit went “extremely well” says Kaal adding, a plan is in the works to develop an asset management model – due out later this year – that will better detail the financial health of the city and help administration to determine where to go next.
“The asset management model will indicate the infrastructure gap and is a better indicator... because it looks at the condition and remaining useful life of the infrastructure. These reports are in the process of being completed...” Overall, Kaal says the city is in a “good state of affairs.” There is money in the reserves and it is growing, but with that said there will be capital projects ahead and continued infrastructure work to be done.

Con’t from Page 1. “We did have a lot of destruction of the existing vegetation when we put in the pipelines, so the purpose is to bring Logan Green back to its natural environment,” Buchholzer says. This is the final year for Agriculture Canada’s Prairie Shelterbelt Program. Buchholzer says that it was a vital program for many people, especially farmers, both for getting trees and using their expertise in putting down an effective buffer. He believes that while others might be taking it over, the expertise that came with the Shelterbelt program will be missed. Buchholzer says that the program would not have been possible without the Assiniboine Watershed Stewardship Association as well as Agriculture Canada, and he would like to thank them for their efforts in donating and planting the trees, as well as coordinating the project. “I think it’s a really great project, it’s going to enhance what we have already here at Logan Green tremendously, it’s a win-win for everybody.”

Slow down and stay safe! It’s potentially dangerous and puts innocent lives at risk so if you’re guilty of doing it you had best take note. The government of Saskatchewan has announced it is clamping down on speeders in certain highway scenarios and tickets will be handed out. RCMP Traffic Services and the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure’s Highway Transport Patrol officers are joining forces to drive home the importance of slowing to 60 km/hr when passing Highway Transport Patrol officers, RCMP and other emergency workers, as well as tow truck operators, highway construction workers and others working in the highway right-ofway. “Every day on our highway network, these people are at risk of being hit by a motorist,” says Highways and Infrastructure Minister Don McMorris. “That risk is greatly reduced when motorists slow down to 60 km/hr and drive with caution past or through these work zones. The simple act of slowing to 60 km/hr could be the difference between life and death.” The Highway Transport Patrol is a part of the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure consisting of uniformed traffic officers who primarily conduct onroad enforcement by stopping commercial vehicles and by operating vehicle inspection stations. The general public may be familiar with their patrol cars and SUVs, which look similar to other law enforcement vehicles. Have fun this holiday weekend and if you opt to hit the highways – slow down and stay safe!
Don’t cry to us, we just don’t care And they expect us to feel sorry for them? Fat chance. Already swirling in controversy, Canada’s senators are again making the news headlines, this time because they apparently want to draw attention to the fact they may be looking at working into their summer holidays... They claim they are ‘feeling the pressure.’ Awww... Now I’ll acknowledge the fact that not ALL senators are corrupt (at least I would certainly hope that’s the case) but given the amount of negative press I’ve been reading, I would think as a group, these people would want to do everything possible to assure Canadians they are doing their jobs and willing to “go that extra mile” to prove they’re working for the benefit of Canada. With that in mind I guess, this week senators announced they are “willing” to stay on the job into July if necessary to pass five government bills and possibly two Tory bills to clear up a backlog when MPs take their breaks. Speaking on behalf of the majority of Canadians – who don’t automatically get the summers off with pay – I say GOOD. If there’s a backlog and there is important work that needs to get done, then that should take
priority over a luxury summer hiatus. Again, this doesn’t pertain to all senators, but the fact there have been a number caught taking advantage of taxpayer dollars has left a sour taste in the mouths of Canadians and sympathy – especially Shannon Deveau little when it comes to a matter like this. When they do go off on their breaks they will go with what some say will be “the air of scandal hanging over them.” The results of an audit of Senator Pamela Wallin’s travel expenses is due this July and RCMP are also deep into a criminal investigation of Mike Duffy who was reportedly accepting payments he ought not to have. These are just two of the bigger names with their hands caught in the cookie jar. At this point in time, accountability, transparency and answering the question of whether the senate even has a place in Canadian government should be at the forefront – not feeling sorry because there will be a slight holiday loss. Most of us work all year to get just three weeks off. Some of us don’t get the luxury of holidays at all, so given the situation, I’m guessing there won’t be an outpouring of support or sympathy if our senators have to work a week or two into their allotted down time.
The way I see it... Column
Handwriting really is not necessary for all of us It’s plain that handwriting is becoming a lost art. It was already in the process of becoming less important when I was a child, and the increased prevalence of easily accessed computers has made it increasingly less important to the children of the world. As a result, it is slowly disappearing from the skill set of many young people. As someone in the word business, you might expect me to lament the loss of longhand, and decry how the children of today are not learning the skill. Other writers certainly have, including Andrew Coyne of the Calgary Herald, who wrote a lengthy column describing how longhand is a vital part of his creative process. That might be true for him, but I have realized quickly that it is not a particularly important part of my own life. Every column I have ever written, including this one, begins and ends on a computer. There is no longhand at all in the process. In fact, in any writing I have ever done, there is a bare minimum of longhand, apart from an attempted novel that died an ignoble death. There might be notes written out, but my own personal process is centered around typing above all else. How could this be? Coyne insists that something of value would be lost if he couldn’t write things out, and
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger that is likely true. But that is how he started, and it is always best to work with the tools with which you are most familiar. The act of writing is simply the process of translating one’s thoughts into a block of prose, preferably prose which others can easily decipher. As a result, whichever tool is most comfortable to you is going to be the tool which is going to get the best results, because it’s one less barrier between your mind and the page or screen in front of you. The less you think about the physical method, the easier it is to do. That means that for people growing up surrounded by screens and for whom typing is second nature,
that’s going to be the easiest way to translate ideas and concepts into text. It also means that for some people, handwriting is going to be the easiest path, since that is their own favorite tool. That’s all handwriting is, a tool. It’s the same thing with a computer, that too is a tool. Everyone will have different preferences for which tool they use, and many will profess the advantages of their preferred tool. If I attempted to set my ways by using longhand, as Coyne suggests is vital to his process, I would get nothing but a block of scratched out words and some wasted paper. If he tried to work like me, he would likely have a blank page at the end of the day, because of the way he works, and the way he feels more comfortable. The slow death of longhand is somewhat inevitable, because the people of tomorrow will have grown up with touchscreens and keyboards, and that will be the form of communication most comfortable to them. To ask them to change because of your own preferences is foolish, because it ignores the differences between people. I know I’d never be able to transition fully to a touchscreen keyboard, but many people will be perfectly fine with that change. Others will likely be more comfortable solely with voice. In the end, as long as we use the best tool for us, it’s fine.

There’s a gaping hole in health: dental
Never a dull moment: become a mentor
To the Editor:
Across Ontario, going to the dentist is financially out of reach for many people, a dilemma is well-known to physicians. Many of us regularly care for patients who have terrible dental problems that we are powerless to address. We see people who have delayed seeking dental care that they can’t afford until they are in serious pain or their health is at risk. We see people who have trouble finding employment, miss school, or avoid social situations because of the condition of their teeth. We see people who avoid eating because their mouths constantly hurt. Lack of access to oral healthcare is a pressing issue for a large segment of Ontario’s population. Most often, this lack of access is due to economic barriers. In Toronto, a new study from the Centre for Research on Inner City Health found that low incomes are a very strong predictor of poor oral health and mouth pain. In Hamilton, a new report from the City of Hamilton’s Public Health Services found that there is a clear link between poor oral health and lower income levels. According to a report from Ontario’s Chief Medical Offer of Health, 20 per cent of Ontarians who stayed away from the dentist for a long time cited cost as a barrier. Nationally, cost has kept a full 16.5 per cent of Canadians from seeking recommended oral healthcare. For people who are homeless, the situation is particularly acute. Recently, researchers
from the Centre for Research on Inner City Health and the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Toronto worked together to assess the oral health of about 200 people staying at 18 homeless shelters in Toronto. We found that 97 per cent of the people we examined needed some kind of dental care and 40 per cent needed emergency treatment.
“Would we tolerate a system in which we didn’t cover the treatment of eye diseases, and allow people who didn’t have the means to pay for their own care to go blind?” Thirty-five per cent of the people we surveyed had avoided eating due to mouth pain. Many had experienced pain over the last month, and most didn’t seek treatment. Dental care remains a gaping hole in our healthcare system for people with limited means. There are currently no coordinated, city-wide dental care programs for women and men experiencing homelessness in Toronto, for example. More generally, children, youth and elders are covered by a patchwork of public programs that
leave many falling through the cracks. Adults earning wages that add up to low and middle incomes have no access to public dental care programs at all. The recent discontinuation of very basic dental care for people who are refugees has made the situation even worse. As a physician, I can tell you how much it’s needed. The overall health of people living on low incomes is deeply impacted by their lack of access to dental care. The current situation in which we provide health insurance to cover the treatment of every part of a person except his or her teeth makes little sense, and leaves thousands of people to suffer from chronic pain and tooth loss. Would we tolerate a system in which we didn’t cover the treatment of eye diseases, and allow people who didn’t have the means to pay for their own care to go blind? It’s time to address the very real pain, distress, and long-term health consequences caused by the fact that many in Ontario are simply not able to go to the dentist. The data on the oral health of people living in homeless shelters in Toronto simply adds to the already compelling body of evidence suggesting that oral healthcare for all should be part of Ontario’s Poverty Reduction Strategy, and a permanent component of our universal healthcare system. Stephen Hwang, Troy Media Corp.
A big shout out to St. Dominic Savio!
To the Editor:
Over the week, as we head toward July 1st – Canada Day 2013 – we’ll all be celebrating the many great things about our country that make us so proud. And well we should! But let’s also take time to note where we must do better. Child poverty is a prime example. It is sad enough to acknowledge that some 16 per cent of Canadian children overall struggle with life from day-to-day below the so-called “poverty line.” But for visible minorities, the child poverty rate is even higher at 25 per cent. And for new immigrants, it’s 33 per cent. In Metis and Inuit families, child poverty runs at 27 per cent. And in First Nations communities nationally, it’s a staggering 50 per cent. In my home province of Saskatchewan, the First Nations rate could be closer to 65 per cent. Such sobering statistics about low income levels are typically ac-
companied by equally grim indicators about educational achievement, housing and homelessness, water quality, infant mortality, health, suicide and encounters with the justice system. This is a vicious circle of negative compounding factors that spiral downward from what we like to believe is the high Canadian norm. Governments need the courage and the will to break the cycle. Citizens, taxpayers and voters need to signal loud and clear that more effective action to fight child poverty is being demanded. It’s hard to know where to begin, but one priority must surely be higher levels of educational achievement. Getting there will not be simple or easy. There’s no quick fix for keeping kids in school with the will and the aptitude to learn, and the desire to keep on learning more and more every day. But a start could be made on the basic question of financing.
Provincial governments are primarily responsible for the K-12 school systems in their respective jurisdictions across the country. But one big exception is schools for First Nations kids on-Reserve. That’s federal jurisdiction. And there’s a big gap between the two. The Government of Canada invests about one-third LESS perchild in First Nations schools than the provinces invest in the general school system offReserve. This is clearly part of the problem. A couple of weeks ago, students at St. Dominic Savio Catholic elementary school asked me to attend an assembly at their school in a pleasant suburban neighbourhood in southeast Regina. They wanted me to hear their concerns about the discrepancies in education that discriminate against First Nations. These students were impressive – engaged, informed and articulate. They told me what they had learned from
their teachers about the debilitating legacy of Indian Residential Schools, how that painful experience ricocheted through families over several generations, and the sad reality that educational deficiencies for First Nations children persist even today. The St. Dominic Savio students want the funding gap fixed. They want First Nations children to have the same opportunities they have. They put their ideas in writing, and I was honoured to deliver their letters to the Prime Minister. Before another Canada Day rolls around, the federal government should be determined to bring its support for educating First Nations children up to the K-12 standard set nationally by the provinces. That would be a good beginning, and a great reason to celebrate. My thanks to everyone at St. Dominic Savio school for showing how much they care. Ralph Goodale, MP, Wascana, SK.
Wage workers need protection from gov’t
To the Editor:
Regina Leader Post June18, 2013 front page – we find Premier Wall with a very serious expression on his face searching for a solution to bullying in Saskatchewan. That picture reminds me of when Brad Wall put himself on record saying if he ever became Premier, he would go to war with the labour Unions. Boy if
that isn’t bullying I don’t know what is. A threat like that could scare the hell out of a lot of workers fearful for their jobs. That’s the whole point; wage workers need protection from the likes of Brad Wall. I really have to wonder if Premier Wall gets satisfaction when his government takes some union workers jobs and then gives those same
jobs to workers that are not with a union. If that isn’t bullying, for sure it is mean spirited. I have to ask Premier Wall why the double standard – some workers he gives big raises but others he terminates their employment. That for sure is not fair play. Henry Neufeld Waldeck, SK.
To the Editor: This is my second year as a mentor for Big Brothers Big Sisters, and there still hasn’t been a dull moment. I have been mentoring the same child from last year, and he has continued to find ways to make every noon hour we spend together a new challenge with new successes. This keeps things exciting for both of us, and I have loved being a part of my mentee’s life as he experiences new things and comes across new obstacles. Whether it is walking in the hallway, putting his old toy away before bringing out a new one, or even not losing his straw on the way to the mentor room, there is always something to celebrate. Watching him grow brings a feeling of success that is different from what you feel with your own accomplishments. Noon hours spent with my mentee go by way quicker than you can imagine, once I get to the school I am immediately swept up in a whirlwind of imaginary dinosaurs chasing us over lava and under tables, puppets made of play dough attacking plastic monkeys, and high society ladies eating clay noodles; the best part is its all set to the sound track of the Cat in the Hat theme song sung in a robot voice by a six year old. When we aren’t doing that, we sometimes go to the gym or the computer lab. Mostly, though, we just make crafts out of… well… literally anything within reach, including a zipper, one of my broken bracelets, and a shoe lace. There are plenty of supplies available in the mentor room, but sometimes my little guy likes to do things outside of the box. Now that I’m graduating and moving to Regina, I will no longer be able to be a part of my mentee’s life. Although it is kind of hard to imagine, I hope someone comes to take my place next year. Someone will need to continue what the mentorship program has started in this young child in order for him to keep making the amazing changes I’ve seen in him over the last two years. And it’s not just him; there are several incredible mentors who are graduating this year that will need you guys to take their place. If you don’t want to take on a child one-on-one, sign up with a group of friends. I promise you will find the experience rewarding for everyone involved. If you’ve ever looked at your life, wondering if you can ever make a difference, become a mentor. The experience will change both of you. Nicole Marchand, Big Brothers Big Sisters Mentor.

Canada Day – a day to celebrate more than a document Parliamentary Report Op-Ed Column by Garry Breitkreuz
GROWING FOR HEALTH – One new project for The Health Foundation in 2013 is farming some land in the area. Many different local businesses have come on board for the project, helping out the many different aspects of growing the crop. One of those businesses is Yorkton New Holland, who handled some custom spraying (pictured above) for the initiative. All proceeds from the project will go towards the construction of a new hospital.
Record funds: Dollars for Scholars Thanks to the support of hundreds of individuals and businesses across Saskatchewan, the eighth annual Dollars for Scholars Golf Classic stands as the most successful in Parkland College’s history. The golf tournament, held June 21 at Deer Park Golf Course in Yorkton, raised an estimated $28,500 for the Parkland College schol-
arship fund. It’s a new record for the event, surpassing last year’s total of $25,840. “Every year, Dollars for Scholars gets bigger and better, and we are delighted to have so much support from so many people,” says tournament co-chair Brendan Wagner. The Dollars for Scholars Golf Classic is the college’s largest scholarship fundraiser.
LUCKY WINNER! – The Health Foundation recently held its annual $100,000 lottery. Ross Fisher, Executive Director of the foundation says it was another successful year for the lottery, with a near sell out sales. The money from the lottery will go to the purchase of needed medical equipment. There were 12 draws, and the winners were: $1,000 Prize winners: Ray and Arlene Lemchuk, of Yorkton; Orest Kaban, of Yorkton; Helen Dutchak, of Bredenbury; Herb Schrader, of Yorkton; Michael Derhousoff, of Kamsack; Rick and Diane Olson, of Melville; Iris Munro and Craig Tressel, of Regina; Vic and Verla Kitzul, of Foam Lake; Scott Parsons, of Medicine Hat; Napoleon and Jeanette Dmytrowich, of Canora. 50/50 Winner: Ann Bieber of Wolseley who won $21,165. $100,000 Winner: Robert and Marlene Bartlett. Pictured above, the name of the grand prize winner is drawn by Ross Fisher, Executive Director of the Health Foundation (right).
Proceeds from the event have helped Parkland College award over $100,000 in scholarships in each of the last two academic years. “The scholarships are big difference makers for many of our students. When we set new records like this, it means more students will have the opportunity to study close to home,” Wagner adds. The Dollars for Scholars Golf Classic would not be possible without generous contributions from hundreds of community supporters, volunteers, and sponsors. Banquet sponsor R H Electric Ltd., Platinum sponsors Farrell Agencies, SaskTel, and RBC Financial Group, and media partners GX94 and Fox FM played key roles in the success of the tournament. Parkland College also thanks the 19 Gold Sponsors, 27 Silver sponsors, 130 Bronze sponsors, and three hole-in-one sponsors for their donations of cash and prizes. The event was almost sold out; 128 golfers participated in this year’s tournament, supporting the
scholarship fund with their entry fees. The ninth annual Dollars for Scholars Golf Classic is tentatively scheduled for June 20, 2014, at Deer Park Golf Course. Results from the 2013 tournament are as follows: • Straightest Drive Men (Hole #4) – Angus Vincent • Straightest Drive Women (Hole #4) – Brenda Pries • Closest to the Pin Men (Hole #8) – Keith Seidler • Closest to the Pin Women (Hole #8) – Karen Fransishyn • Longest Drive Men (Hole #13) – Mike Parobec • Longest Drive Women (Hole #13) – Bev Bielinski Longest Putt (Hole #18) – Brett Franklin • Winner of the Putting Contest – Bill Sinclair • Winner of the Chipping Contest – Tom Seeley • Lowest Scoring Team – RBC Commercial Banking: Fred Schrader, Lorrie Ulmer, Murray Yung, Brett Franklin • Fun Hole #9 – Randy Hrywkiw
On July 1st, 146 years ago, the British North America Act (better known as the BNA Act) came into effect and the idea of a unified Canada became a reality. Today, we recognize Canada Day as more than just a moment to commemorate the signing of a document. It’s the day we celebrate both our past and our present, while looking forward to the future. Canada Day is a celebration of what it truly means to be a Canadian. The founding values in the BNA Act: peace, order and good government, have helped Canada stand out as a beacon of hope and prosperity – a country that other nations model themselves after, a country of which we can all be proud. And as Canadians, we certainly have plenty of reasons to be thankful. Despite the on-going instability that other countries face, our country continues to excel and lead on the world’s stage, both socially and economically. Starting this year, July 1 to 7 will become Canada History Week, an opportunity for Canadians from coast to coast to coast to get actively involved in learning about our country’s history. Canada’s upcoming 150th birthday in 2017 provides an unprecedented opportunity to celebrate our history and the achievements that contributed to the united, strong, and free Canada we know today. Day in and day out, it is the values, principles and work ethic of Canadians that make Canada great. Whether your family has lived here for generations or you’re a new Canadian, you know that Canadians value hard work and determination; that we are stronger united than we are divided; and that each of us owes this great country and the people who made it what it is today, a great debt of gratitude. That’s why we celebrate Canada Day. Let’s continue to build a better Canada, a country to make our children and grandchildren proud.

Graduation: a time for tears of joy and sadness This past week we attended graduation exercises for our grandchildren. What a wonderful day for these young people. Their teachers are be commended on all the hard they put into this past year to educate our young people. When we attend these graduations exercises we sometimes experience tears of joy and tears of sadness because of many memories that cross our minds. Some of us may be reminded of our own graduations, the love and sacrifice of our parents, teachers and grandparents made for us so many years ago. We often are taken back to the day we graduated and recall fondly those school days. We recall our own successes and achievements as well as our short comings and our failures. We may also often remember those early

Things have changed indeed. The education system has changed for the better and we just

CELEBRATING 40 YEARS – All year long the Parkland College is celebrating 40 years of providing training and education options to the people of the Parkland region. Parkland College was the first regional college in Saskatchewan to open for business on June 20, 1973. The original board of directors chose Melville as the site of the head office. Under the name Parkland Community College, locations were soon established in Yorkton and several towns in East Central Saskatchewan. In 1988, the name changed to Parkland Regional College, bringing a new mandate and extended boundaries, allowing the college to deliver more skills and university training. Two decades later, the college shortened its name to Parkland College

Parkland College is also expanding to engage in international development projects, applied research opportunities, and online distance delivery. “It’s quite a milestone seeing how much things have changed over these 40 years,” CEO Dr. Fay Myers notes. “The future holds a lot of promise. We’re always looking forward, and we’re committed to finding the best ways to meet the education needs of the region for many years to come.”

The farmer is trained
Submitted by Kaare Askildt, former Preeceville area farmer in training. This one of a series on getting settled in Hazel Dell. Mother Nature might have had a big fight with Father Winter, as she is about a month late with spring this year. However, the first sign of spring did finally arrive with The Preeceville Tradeshow being advertised in the Preeceville Progress! The second sign of spring was the actual Preeceville Tradeshow on April 19 and 20. Now please hurry up Mother Nature and melt the snow! Marion has planned all kinds of projects, both outside in the yard and inside the house this spring and summer. When she ran all these projects by me and asked what I thought, I was foolish enough to suggest that she stick a broom up her butt at the same time, so she can clean the house as she walks through. Man! I know she got a wicked left hook, and I dodged it at the very last moment! I will be more or less incapacitated until middle of summer, so I guess my contribution to our farming venture this year will be to just pick eggs and help with harvesting the garden. We had booked a booth at The Preeceville Tradeshow, which is sponsored by the Preeceville Lions Club. What a pleasant experience! My wife and I arranged a nice book display in our booth. Just about all my local reading fans came by the booth to tell me how much they enjoy reading my book and my weekly articles in the newspaper! Most of the fans looked at my wife Marion and said: “You poor suffering woman! How do you handle The Farmer in Training?” To which my wife replied: “The routine is usually like this: First I get a bit upset with whatever it was that he messed up, then I do it myself and do it right, and finally both of us just sit down and laugh about it! Laughter echoes throughout our home most of the time! He hasn’t completely matured yet, which is a good thing, it’s more fun that way!” We actually felt totally left out. Everybody that my wife talked to had a problem with the roof and water leaking into the house through the ceiling. Well guess what?! It
has now happened to us too! We felt so much more connected to the community when we came home last night and found pieces of the ceiling that had fallen down, and mushy ceiling drywall soaked in water. The repair has now been added to my wife’s list of projects. She feels it is important and has therefore moved it to the top of the list and marked it URGENT! I’m sure glad that I only have to pay attention to farming chores, so after reading the list I put it down and told Marion to have at it right away as she had marked it URGENT! Her uppercut missed too! I don’t think that I’m winning any popularity contest at the moment! A Norwegian carpenter walked onto a job site of a large framing company and handed the foreman his resume. The foreman began to scan the resume,
and noticed that the chap had been fired from every job he has ever held. “I must say,” said the foreman as he looked up from the resume, “your work history is terrible – It says here that you’ve been fired from every job you ever had!” “Yes, that may be true,” answered the carpenter. “Well,” continued the foreman, “there’s not much positive in that!” “Hey! Wait a minute now,” said the carpenter as he poked at the resume. “At least I’m not a quitter!” “Why did you get fired from your last job?” asked the foreman. “Well,” said the Norwegian looking the foreman square in the eyes, “you know how most foremen are always standing around watching others do the work. When the other workers thought I was the foreman ‘cause I was just standing around, the foreman got jealous and fired me!”

Music Together is an award-winning, research-based, developmentally correct and FUN music-making and movement program for children newborn to Kindergarten age and the grown-ups who love them. Even though Music Together is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year and is in over 40 countries around the world, it is new to Saskatchewan. Maxine Hanofski, Centre Director of Music Together Prairie Heartland, a musician, artist, atelierista, Early Childhood Educator and member of the Saskatchewan Early Learning Leaders Caucus, was searching for a quality music program that encouraged children to make music, rather than press a button or watch a screen. When she was introduced to Music Together, her search was over. She obtained her training in the United States and brought the program home to Saskatchewan this spring. Music Together is offered at various locations in Regina, as well as White City/Emerald Park. With Regina Music Therapist Tyne Hallgrimson joining the Music Together Prairie Heartland team this Fall, classes for Babies Only and Big Kids will also be offered in the Queen City. Music Together Prairie Heartland is also thrilled to announce that they will be offering classes beginning in September in both Yorkton and Melville. For the 10 week Fall Semester, there will be two classes offered in Yorkton at the S.I.G.N.

Here's how it works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Go Skate Day event fills Yorkton skatepark By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer On the tenth anniversary of Go Skateboarding Day, a worldwide event on the first day of summer each year, Cab Clothing kicked off its own ten year anniversary by hosting its first Go Skateboarding Event at the new Yorkton skatepark that was completed at the end of last summer. With the new park growing the sport in the city, the event drew a record crowd according to Cab Clothing Skate & Snow owner Brennan Wiens. “For the past few years we have held this event at the old skatepark by the Gallagher Center and had around twenty to maybe thirty people come out for the event, but this year at the highest point there was maybe seventy or eighty skateboarders and bike riders show up to the park,” says Wiens. Wiens has been pleased with the sheer amount of Yorkton residents who have used the park since it was built in conjunction with the City of Yorkton and the Aviva Community Fund last year. “There isn’t a non rainy day where you don’t see at least ten to even forty people using the downtown park, and not just people using the skatepark with all of the walkers and joggers who also use the park’s walking route” says Wiens who mentions that the attendance of the park makes it one of a kind in Yorkton, something the city should consider when building parks in the future. “What other park in the city gets this much people out using it every day?” Asks Wiens who believes the city can support even a second park in the city based on the initial usage in year one. “I would like to see the city consider a second park because our skateboard community has embraced the chance to get a proper facility and has ran with it and used it nearly every day possible” mentions Wiens.

Bulldogs split weekend homestand at FAA
By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer
Despite some serious roster issues depleting their depth and causing some problems within the organization, the 2013 Yorkton Bulldogs season has seen some success given the initial circumstances the team was facing before they even played a home game at Farrell Agencies Arena this season. Often only having two lines of players due to work commitments and injuries that are always a challenge in the Prairie Gold Lacrosse League and starting out their season 0-4 on the road before losing their first home game of the season, the Bulldogs rattled off two straight wins at home heading into their final two game homestand of the season with a chance at a .500 sea-
son if they could take both games on the weekend and beat the Estevan Big Dogs on the road in their season finale. The Bulldogs got one third of the way there on Saturday when they put together a team effort on Saturday night, beating the Regina Riot 11-6 and moving their record to 3-4 on the season. Bulldogs coach Joey Choptiuk felt that the key to the Bulldogs was simply having a full group on Saturday. “Well we had pretty much our full team and that helps us out a lot when it comes to playing defense in a fast paced game so having our whole team was and is the key when we manage to win,” says Choptiuk. Bulldogs captain Jerrason Fisher also felt that the Bulldogs discipline in staying out of the penalty box helped them in Saturday’s
win, “Having a full group of guys and playing as a team, staying out of the box and making sure we can have full energy all game is what keeps us winning so stay-
ing healthy and focused has been the key to our wins,” says Fisher. Cont. on Page 19.

GSD shows rise of skateboarding popularity in city Cont. from Page 17
Getting the youth active remains to be a constant health issue in Canada, making skateboarding a tool that can actually see an improvement in the fitness of Yorkton youth. A sport that has a mass appeal towards both traditional athletes and those who might not be interested in playing team sports, Go Skateboarding Day shows the broad appeal of skateboarding as well as how it maintains an active lifestyle amongst youth and adults. “When you look at skateboarding, it is constant movement,” says Wiens. “You are pumping to get around and to do tricks and it is definitely an underrated form of exercise and cardio” Wiens mentions, pointing out that one of the main focuses of Go Skateboarding Day is to get people active as well as to promote the sport. Go Skateboarding Day has expanded from a
small grassroots day on June 21 each year in Southern California into a worldwide phenomenon in just ten years. Skateboarders around the globe will celebrate the pure exhilaration, creativity, and spirit of one of the most infuential activities in the world by blowing off all other obligations to go skateboarding. All over the world this love for skateboarding is shown by holding fundraisers, contests, protests and demos worldwide. Founded by the International Association of Skateboard Companies (IASC), Go Skateboarding Day gives passionate skateboarders as well as those who are simply inspired by skateboarding, the opportunity to drop everything and get on a skateboard. Go Skateboarding Day is a cooperative of decentralized events that take place around the globe. Skateboard retailers, skateparks, distributors, organizations and individuals of all colors, creeds, and attitudes hold
skateboarding events to celebrate the holiday with skateboarders joining fellow skateboarders being the main goal in an attempt to change the old perception of skateboarding as a rebel activity into what it truly is, a hobby that millions share a bond and passion for. Wiens says that looking at other Go Skateboarding Days across Canada at various other parks that Yorkton had one of the higher turnouts even compared to larger city centres. “After looking around on the internet and at various other shops events and skatepark days, the turnout we had here stacks up with even some of the larger cities in Canada and it simply blows me away that things have grown almost overnight with the building of a new park,” closes Wiens. Cab Clothing donated various product, including fifty specially made shirts just for Go Skateboarding Day as well as holding a scavenger hunt throughout the
GO SKATEBOARDING DAY saw worldwide events take place in cities and skateparks across the globe as skateboarders joined in celebrating the first day of summer with the biggest day on the skateboarding calendar. city for the second straight year and doing more product giveaways. Wiens estimated that over $1000 in skateboarding gear, shoes and shirts were handed out at the event by Cab. Harvest Meats donated
hot dogs for a BBQ and Vans donated around 30 hats to hand out at the event. Next at the skatepark will be a “Party at the Park” for the youth to celebrate the end of the school year.
Pro skaters are making their way down from Edmonton to join with local skaters for a demo as well as other nonskateboarding events as the summer begins with the City of Yorkton organized event this week.
YRHS trio makes South Sask U-16 Red River Cup squad By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer
Closing out a spring that has saw Yorkton Minor Football send two players to the Football Canada Cup as members of Saskatchewan’s U-18 team, a trio of YMF Jr. Raiders players cracked the South Sask U-16 team for the 2013 Red River Cup that will be taking place this July in Winnipeg. Brayden Jarvis, Noah Zerr and Lukas Muir made the 40 man South Saskatchewan roster for the Red River Cup, a four team tournament that squares off the best Western Canadian young football prospects as one of the highlights of the summer football calendar. For the YRHS Jr. Raiders it was a confirmation that their second place finish in the Regina Minor Football League would not be ignored as three of their best cracked the final roster. Two of the Jr. Raiders will be playing a different position than they were playing for the Raiders in the fall with Team South Sask. Lukas Muir will be playing linebacker after playing defensive end for the Raiders and Brayden Jarvis will be making the more drastic change from offense to defense going from running back to defensive tackle. For Muir , he said playing both some end and linebacker for the Jr. Raiders made the move easier, but said he was impressed with himself that he beat out players who have been playing strictly linebacker for years to earn his roster slot. “There were a few guys who said they were playing linebacker for four years who I beat out to make the team, so it was a bit nervewracking at first, but I have played linebacker before so it was an easier adjustment I felt,” says Muir. Jarvis had a tougher change as he spent the first two tryouts at running back before being moved to defense to play defensive tackle. With RMF rules preventing Jarvis from playing on both sides of the ball last year, it was the first high level defensive

tackle he had played in nearly a year. Jarvis made the U-16 team at tackle the year before making the adjustment easier and along with other offensive players moving to defense after two tryouts, he felt that the move will help South Sask be a tough team in July. “We had more running backs try out than any other position so I was asked to move back to defensive tackle from last year and it wasn’t an issue, it was actually nice to get back into a defensive mindset instead of being the running back and the team looks stronger with more players moving to defense at the end of tryouts,” explains Jarvis. Noah Zerr, a resident of Langenburg who played his first 12 man football in Yorkton because the
town doesn’t have a full team, says playing for the Jr. Raiders has opened the door to play for the South Sask team and that he has high expectations for his teammates as they head to Winnipeg next week. Team South Sask will play their first gsme early Sunday, July 7 as thy take on Winnipeg West at 8:45 a.m. Manitoba time they will also take on Winnipeg East that afternoon at 12:15 p.m. before playing Lower Mainland BC and North Saskatchewan on July 10 to close out the round robin. The tournament concludes July 13 with bronze and gold medal games as the top two teams will square off in the final at 6:00 p.m.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, June 27, 2013 - Page 19A
In defeat, Tim Duncan showed why he is the best of his era Has there been a more underrated great in the modern era of professional sports than Tim Duncan? The man who is regarded as the greatest power forward of all time at age 37 outplayed the Miami Heat for much of Game Six and Game Seven of what was an NBA Finals that revitalized the league and led to its highest television numbers since the Jordan era that didn’t involve the Lakers/Celtics. Yet we still aren’t talking about Tim Duncan. Tim Duncan put up 18.1 points per game in the 2013 NBA playoffs, his 16th year in the league. Averaging 10.1 rebounds, Tim Duncan averaged a double double in the playoffs. At 37 years of age. Tim Duncan is nearly twice my age and he averaged a double double
in the NBA Playoffs, a feat that would typically thrust players into the discussion of being one of the best NBA players of all time. Yet no one seems to give any particular interest in praising the brilliant career of one of the best players to ever lace up a pair of basketball shoes. The new media with the attention span of a butterfly would rather pay attention to LeBron James in his 10th season in the league winning just his second title (on a team he famously handpicked.) This isn’t a surprise because Tim Duncan has kept one of the lowest profiles of any NBA athlete. While the media has labelled Kobe Bryant and James “The Next Michael Jordan” and debated over which two players are
Bulldogs host 2013 home finale Cont. from Page 17. On Sunday against the Regina Rifles, led by PGLL All-Star and one of the league’s top scorers in Tristan Frei who also plays hockey for the Midget AAA Regina Pat Canadians, the Bulldogs lack of depth was exposed as they were missing a handful of key players due to injury. Discipline was also an issue for both teams as the referees for Sunday’s meeting called the game extremely tight. Yorkton was given a two man advantage to start the game but could not capitalize, but the quick whistles set the tone for a game that played right into the Rifles advantage as the Bulldogs who were playing with just nine players had a hard time matching a Rifles gameplan predicated on long break out passes. Jayden Dozorec and Fisher put in early third period goals to make things interesting for the first half of the period, but the ‘Dogs just ran out of gas losing 9-6. Choptiuk was quick to mention that things will likely look better next weekend and in the playoffs than in the home finale provided that his Bulldogs get healthy, something that the captain Fisher echoed. “Lacrosse is an up and down sport that is played at a fast pace, and when you lose guys to injury like we did on Sunday with a team that is already scraping by on hard work from a small group of players it can kill you,” says Fisher. Fisher also added that with playoffs coming up that the Bulldogs will likely miss less players due to work commitments as the team has made it a mission to try to get a full roster for the rest of the season. “It is junior lacrosse and most of us are adults who are supporting themselves so work comes before games, especially on the road,” says Fisher, “But now with playoffs coming up no matter where we are placed we feel that if we can get everyone out there focused and ready to go for a title run we will definitely be one of the sleeper teams going into the playoffs.” Yorkton closes out their regular season in Estevan with a chance to advance further up the standings over the last place Big Dogs. Playoffs are around the corner, and despite the end of their winning streak, Yorkton still has hope.
Matechuk cut, cracks Riders practice squad
Ruttig’s rants Column Chase Ruttig the next in line to be second behind Jordan in the pantheon of NBA greats, Duncan has been keeping his head down, not drawing attention to himself all the while having a career that has been so consistent even with age that it is now reaching to the point where Duncan should be entering conversation as one of the Top Five greatest players of all time. Yet it isn’t happening. Duncan plays in San Antonio, a city with just one professional sports team in the Spurs, a team that thrived off of defense and sharing the scoring load during one of the lowest scoring era’s of the NBA in the post Jordan and post Shaq/Kobe Lakers era. An era that many were quick to dismiss as boring was faced by the Spurs, so naturally the media has called the Spurs the “boringest” team in basketball, giving Duncan, a player that never cared too much for
his individual statistics and demanding the ball much anyways, a bad rap. Yet Duncan is far from boring if you have ever played the game of basketball. A 37 year old who should be 25 pounds heavier than his glory days with knees made of dust by now actually dropped weight for the 2013 season and rededicated himself back to trying to win a championship after two years of not being able to get past younger teams in the Memphis Grizzlies and Oklahoma City Thunder. With his minutes being controlled by Gregg Popovich to preserve his game for the playoffs, Duncan still managed to pull down a 17.8 points per game average and 9.9 rebounds per game during the regular season over 69 games. At 37 years old, you would still want Tim Duncan for 69 games over a regular season than 90%
of the league’s power forwards, a feat that in itself speaks volumes to the man as a player. Sadly as we all now, fans and the media live in the present now more than ever. With “breaking news” and storylines developing every hour, we often let ourselves get too caught up in what is happening now to place things in the proper context and appreciate the greatness of players who don’t force it upon themselves to grab the spotlight. A man with two MVP’s, four NBA titles, three of those in which he was the Finals MVP, ten All-NBA First Team selections, eight All-Defensive team selections and a dominant run that has stretched all the way from 1998 to 2013 has yet to pick up steam. In fact when Tim Duncan dropped 25 points in the first half of Game Six on the road in Miami, knowing that up 3-2 in the series it was the Spurs best chance to win a title, no one seemed to sit back and get caught up in a fact that at 37 nobody on the Heat, not even the MVP in LeBron James, had an answer for Tim Duncan. The Spurs came within two box outs and a last second three pointer in regulation from winning the NBA title nearly fifteen years after Duncan’s first and if they did win, he surely would have
won the Finals MVP. The defining moment of one of the best NBA Finals of my lifetime won’t be LeBron James earning his second title, or Manu Ginobili’s turnovers and choke job in both Games Six and Seven. It will be of Tim Duncan going for the win in Game Seven, narrowly missing a hook shot over Chris Bosh and then the tip shot afterwards. After missing Duncan didn’t sulk or whine for a foul like Kobe or LeBron would do, he ran the floor faster than anyone else on the court and slapped the floor with the fury of a man who knew that this might be his last chance to go out on top, a show of passion for defense that is leaving the game. As I grow up the game I loved the most as a child is running out of players like Tim Duncan who show how the game is supposed to be played. Tim Duncan has been one of the best players in basketball since the late ‘90s without padding his stats, hogging the basketball, or ignoring the fact that what happens on defense is often more important than what happens with the ball in your hands. “Timmy D” might hang them up for good this summer, and if he does I will always remember the 2013 Finals for being the champion in defeat and the best on the floor at 37.

By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer After surviving the first round of Riders preseason cuts, Yorkton’s Jordan Matechuk could not crack the Riders opening day roster, being cut by Corey Chamblin after their home loss to the Calgary Stampeders to close out their preseason campaign. Matechuk will stay on with the Riders as a practice squad player, but will now have to deal with the massive paycut that CFL practice roster players all have to deal with in an attempt to fill in if the Riders need depth on special teams or if their regular longsnapper doesn’t pan out. Saskatchewan will open the 2013 CFL season on the road this week against the Edmonton Eskimos, who they beat during the preseason at Commonwealth Stadium. The Roughriders first home game of 2013 will be on Friday Night Football as they pay host to their rivals in the Calgary Stampeders who eliminated them from the playoffs in the dying moments of the fourth quarter last season.

Cardinals hold off Millionaires to climb out of last in East By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer
Despite failing to pile on the wins against the WMBL’s worst team in Edmonton and another sub .500 team in the Saskatoon Yellow Jackets the Yorkton Cardinals can once again hang their hat on the fact that they own their rivals in the East Division Melville Millionaires in 2013. Yorkton put up their third win of the season against the division leaders on Sunday, dragging themselves out of the basement as the WMBL season hits the one month mark. The weekend provided a golden opportunity for the Cardinals as they embarked on a four game swing to Saskatoon and Edmonton as they looked to bounce on two of the WMBL’s weaker teams. Things were looking so far, so good in game one of the four game road trip as the Cardinals were headed into the bottom of the eighth inning up 4-2 over the Yellow Jackets with Aaron Dick being trusted as the setup man and Matt Bowles coming as closer for manager Bill Sobkow. The Cardinals collapsed in the final two innings, giving up runs in both the eighth, ninth and then again in the bottom of the tenth to give up what seemed to be a sure win when they cashed in an insurance run to go up 4-2 in the eighth. A tough pill for the Cardinals to swallow considering they had done everything right up until that point
as Shaniel Rivera gave the Cardinals seven innings of three hit ball from the mound, giving up just two runs in the no decision as the starting pitcher. Heading to Edmonton for two games over Thursday/Friday, the Cardinals had no time to dwell on their late inning collapse as they headed to Alberta to play the Prospects, who had just one win heading into their two game series with Yorkton. The Cardinals returned the favor from the following night, capping a five run rally in the top of the ninth to avoid giving the Prospects their second win of the season. Down 9-7 in the final inning, Nick Gallipeau advanced to first on an error by the Prospects third baseman to start the Cardinals rally. Rob Shedden came into pinch run for Gallipeau and after Dylan Gross was putout and Matt Chavarria grounded into a fielder’s choice, Yorkton was down to their final out before George Santiago became the hero on Thursday night. With runners on first and third, Santiago unleashed a double to cash in both runners and tie the game up at 9-9. Sergio Perez and Justin Burgess kept the rally rolling with clutch two out walks to load the bases before Liam Goodall sent in the winning run with a single. Justin Burgess would score a fifth run of the inning for the Cardinals in a double steal attempt where Goodall was caught stealing to end the inning.
Still that five run rally was all the Cards needed on the night as Chavarria turned off the lights with the save in the bottom of the ninth to close things with a 12-9 win. Edmonton would get their revenge on Friday, rocking Jeff Pool for seven runs in just 3.1 innings, cruising to a 9-2 win, just their second of the season. With the road trip finale against the Yellow Jackets being cancelled, the Cardinals returned home with just one win in what was supposed to be a chance to climb back to .500 against two teams that could very likely miss the WMBL Playoffs this August. Instead, the Cardinals went 1-3, falling to 6-11 heading into a Highway 10 battle with the Melville Millionaires on Cardinals Steak Night at Jubilee Park. Matt Bowles would get the start for the Cardinals keeping things in check in the early going of the Sunday night affair as a run in the bottom of the second had the Cardinals up 1-0 early. A barrage of runs in the fifth inning capped off by a huge three run home run by Mike Meany placed the Cardinals firmly in the drivers seat with a 7-0 lead, but the Millionaires got right back into the game ending Bowles night on the mound with three runs in the sixth inning to breathe some life into the game after being shellshocked by Meany’s jack in the fifth. That three run inning in the fifth would turn out to pay huge divi-
dends as for the second time in the season, the Millionaires put together a huge late inning rally against the Cardinals at Jubilee Park. Kody Rock, the hero of the extra innings marathon against the Mils at Jubilee Park, could not find that same composure on the mound as the reliever on Sunday, allowing two runs and setting the table for the other two game tying runs as Chavarria could not come in and put the fire out on the Mils rally as the game went shockingly into the bottom of the ninth inning in what was a wild rally. For the second straight time, the Cardinals bounced back to have the last laugh in the Highway 10 Battle as Justin Burgess scored on a wild pitch to give the Cards a walkoff win and to drag them a half game ahead of the Weyburn Beavers at the
time of writing. Yorkton will play a crucial midweek road game against the Beavers in what is a busy Canada Day weekend for the Cards that gives them a chance to try to string together a winning streak for the first time this season. Yorkton will host the Swift Current Indians on Thursday/Friday before the Beavers travel down to Jubilee Park on Saturday night, the Indians are currently sitting in first place in the Central Division, but the Cards have proven with the Millionaires that they do not shy around from the top of the WMBL. Following the games with the Beavers/ Indians, the Cardinals will have their three game Canada Day series with the Millionaires in what will be one of the season’s highlights. Yorkton will host the Canada Day affair at
7:05 p.m. with the Millionaires hosting games on Sunday and Tuesday. Sobkow will be hoping that the trend of his Cardinals coming out on top against their hated rivals continues this weekend as the Cardinals continue to chip away at the Millionaires three game lead over them in the East. Still it is beating the basement dwellers that has been the Cardinals problem this season with two losses having them sit at 7-11 instead of 9-9 going into this weekend, the Cards still have hope they can be a winning ballclub this year, but if that is going to become a reality they need to separate themselves from the pack of teams hovering around the .500 mark. They have shown the talent, but consistency still eludes Yorkton’s boys of summer so far in 2013.
YORKTON CARDINALS action will fill the Canada Day long weekend as the Cardinals host Swift Current/Weyburn Friday and Saturday before hosting the Mils on July 1.
Yorkton United men take two wins in weekend home opener By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer Sitting in third place in the Regina Soccer Association U-12 Division table, it was a crucial weekend for Yorkton United Chelsea as they had two important wins this weekend hosting Regina’s Boca Juniors and Regina’s AC Pumas on Sunday at the Parkland Mall Field in an RSA Cup match and a league game to end the week. With a chance at the second round of the league cup on the line, the game against the Boca Juniors saw Yorkton coming out powerfully and winning with a decisive 13-1 score, thrashing the Boca Juniors. Scoring for Yorkton were Nick Fetsch with five goals, Nolan Maier with a hat trick,
Jordin Rusnack with two goals and Jaxon McLeod and Matthew Cochrane with one each. Jairus Pellatt also scored a single off the head of a Regina player near the goal. The Boca game was a must win because it was a first round playoff game for the Regina Soccer Association Cup, which is separate from the regular league standings. League cups untie teams from all divisions of the RSA and the United did well to avoid losing the cup tie at home. Yorkton will now move on to the second round of the RSA Cup this Monday, July 1st at Regina’s Liebel Field where four teams play off for the right to
play for the RSA Cup on July 14 in two Canada Day semifinals in the Queen City. Sunday afternoon’s game was a much closer game as Yorkton Chelsea met Regina AC Pumas for a 6-5 win in league play in what was a huge three points in the standings. The last time these two teams met was at the beginning of the season with Yorkton winning 5-4, and Sunday’s fixture was just as tightly contested between the two very evenly matched clubs. With both teams having an even share of the ball, with the United keeping the ball for just a little longer in the match for 53 per cent posession in the match, the game was a
ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION BRANCH NO. 77
back and forth affair with each team doing their even share of attacking and defending. Scoring for Yorkton were Jordin Rusnack with two goals and four YUFC players came up with singles: Matthew Cochrane, Nolan Maier, Thomas Djagowez and Jaxon McLeod. YUFC coach Michael Jakubiec was happy with how his young footballers performed in two games where they could get results in Yorkton, “The boys played very well as a team. There were a lot of unselfish decisions made by our boys and that

Yorkers back in action, but can’t find win column
By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer
Following a rainout June 1 and two bye weeks after that, the Yorkton Yorkers showed a lot of rust in their One Day Provincial (ODP) match June 23 losing by 100 runs to Regina’s Hawks in Saskatchewan Cricket League (SCL) play. The Yorkers started out by losing the coin toss, but were pleased the Hawks chose to bat first thinking the wet, long infield grass would be to their advantage holding up ground balls in the early going but drying out as the match wore on. Yorkers bowlers came out strong, but did not get any help from the fielders, who dropped several catchable fly balls in the opening session, giving the Hawks valuable runs. By the mid innings break at 20 overs, the Hawks had put up 101 runs with only two wickets lost, a quick start. Things didn’t get much better for the fielders after the break in a nightmare afternoon for the Yorkers who looked much better before their long layoff. The Hawks completed their 40 overs with 217
runs for seven wickets, a good total, but not insurmountable for the Yorkton squad who showed good batting in their first win. After lunch, however, Rugvedh Reddy, one of the Yorkers’ opening batsmen was almost immediately called out on a controversial run-out when he was caught standing outside his crease after he thought the ball was dead. Rapidly, the Yorkers gave up five more quick wickets including captain Faisal Anwar and Mandeep Singh, Yorkton’s half century (50-plus runs) batsman from the team’s previous win against the Jaguars May 25. Nevertheless, based on a strong performance from Ankit Puri and a developing partnership with Hitesh Mankotia, the visiting team surpassed the Hawks’ 20-over run total with 103 by the afternoon break. Unfortunately, with eight wickets already lost, the Yorkers had to count on the continuing partnership of Puri and Mankotia or the untested bottom of the batting order to carry them through the final 20 overs. Puri’s time in the crease
came to a halt however in the 21st over when he was bowled out on a leg bye wicket. Puri’s exit brought up wicket keeper Thom Barker, who had not batted yet all season. The Hawks’ bowler made short work of Barker taking the wicket on the second ball he delivered. Alternate wicket keeper Gautam Parmar, who had also not strapped on the batting pads this season, fared slightly better, but was still quickly dispatched leaving the Yorkers all out with only 117 runs to the Hawks’ 217, losing key players proving to simply be too much as their final wicket keepers had yet to swing as batsmen all campaign to this date. Anwar said the loss was disappointing, not in and of itself, but because of the way the team played. “We beat ourselves with mistakes today,” the captain says. “We bowled well, but dropped a lot of
YORKTON YORKERS were finally back in action over the weekend in Regina, but fell to the Hawks for their third loss of the season in Saskatchewan cricket play. catches and made some key errors in the crease.” Puri, a member of the Yorkers reserves, performed admirably in place of star all-rounder Tinku Sharm, accounting for 69
of the Yorkers’ runs plus one of the opponents’ wickets the performance has ensured Puri will be on the full squad as he was a bright spot in defeat.
The Yorkers next game is June 29 against the Stallions when they look to grab their second win in club history after their tough loss to the Hawks.
YLTC stars at 2013 Sask Championship By CHASE RUTTIG N-R Writer
With school, and the high school track season coming to a close, the club outdoor track season is very much still in full swing in the province. Yorkton Legion Track Club athletes attended the 2013 Saskatchewan Track & Field Championships and Western Canadian Tryouts held in Regina at the Canada Games Complex on June 15-16th. Twenty two athletes attended for the YLTC club, hopeful that they could qualify to be the amongst the best track and field athletes in Canada by advancing to Westerns. This was the club’s biggest number of athletes to ever attend an outdoor or indoor track meet this season making it very exciting to watch for the YLTC as a group of over twenty athletes were on hand to cheer their teammates on in hopes of proving that they have one of the best track programs in the province. In the end Yorkton posted a solid eight athletes from the area that were picked to be on Team Saskatchewan to attend the Western Canada Midget & Youth Championship on July 25-26. Three of those athletes competed against each other in the 100m dash wining 1st, 2nd and 3rd, sweeping the podium. Coaches from the Saskatchewan Athletics program were astonished about how all three medal winners were from the same club in Yorkton. Naturally a relay team
will be made with these three teammates for Westerns comprising of the YLTC trio and one more for the 4 x 100m in Calgary. These three sprinters were Devon Frounfelter, Jonah Sutter and Ethan Field. Other YLTC athletes that qualified for Calgary were Jaden Porte, Cole Burkholder, Jaret Porte, Denton Dietz, Mikaila Ortynsky. Kalyn Giroux qualified in shot put to attend Junior Nationals July 12-14 in Sainte-Terese, Quebec. The qualifying standards for Junior nationals is 11.25m for women. Kalyn threw 11.49m at the 2013 Saskatchewan High School Provincials winning a gold medal. She also won a gold medal at 2013 Sask Age Class Championship with a distance of 11.92m. This distance far surpassed the qualifying standard for the JuniorNationals. Giroux is from Stockholm, but trains with the Yorkton Legion Track Club for her club season in indoor and outdoor track. Cole Burkholder has also qualified for National Youth Track & Field Championships in Langley, BC Aug .9-11. Cole had a time of 3:29 at the Saskatchewan Championships, beating the qualifying time is 3:30 in the 800 meter race. Congratulations Cole. The YLTC also has two athletes on the verge of posting qualifying results in Brenden Weber and Jaden Porte as the two YRHS athletes have a handful of meets left to post their standards but are improving with each week.

A look at what is happening in the Yorkton Business Improvement District
There comes a time in every community when new life springs from old. That’s exactly what is happening in the eastern side of the Yorkton Business Improvement District. With the tearing down of the former Royal Ford building on Broadway, it marks the end of an era in the history of that property. But it also marks the beginning of something new and exciting for the future.
• Original Auto Upholstery • Marine
45 Betts Ave. Yorkton, SK At the same time multi-family dwellings and condos being built along 7th Ave North are nearing their completion, as is the long awaited Holiday Inn Express in that same area. The NEW Royal Ford and Royal Honda buildings are up and running and the development of green space has begun. If you take a GANDER, pun intended, you will see a couple of Canada Geese families have already settled in the new drainage holding pond.
More Than Just an Adult Store Bras (28-58, AA-N), casual loungewear, lingerie (S-6X), adult merchandise, massage oils, novelties, home parties and more.

All this in the YBID. All this which when finished will make this area a great place to live, walk, bike, run as well as do business in great facilities. It was once said the word CHANGE was not invented in Saskatchewan. While that may have been true to a point, we have turned the corner and when you look around our YBID there is nothing BUT change taking place. So let’s welcome change, embrace it, and support those on City Council who dare to dream out loud but every now and then stop and remember what got us to this point. We’re sure there is much more to come!
