Conference discusses family violence By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Strengthening Families Conference, hosted by the Yorkton Tribal Council, was about confronting the problem of family violence in the area head on. Six member bands, as well as the surrounding community and relevant agencies came together to discuss issues surrounding family violence, the impact it has and ways to strengthen families in the area. Nola Mahingen says that the conference was designed by what they see and hear as part Project Safe Haven, the women’s shelter that is part of YTC. The conference schedule dealt with things like inter-generational impact of domestic violence, supporting the traumatized child, the importance of fathers, recognizing triggers and examining what is available in the city. Mahingen believes that talking about and dealing with the trauma involved is a key to helping prevent future family violence, and conferences like this are a way to start dealing
with the impact on families and the community at large. “Now I’m hoping we’re starting to deal with things and we’re starting to talk about things.� Another goal was to get different agencies in the same room, because family violence is a problem that crosses agency lines and requires cooperation. Mahingen says that bringing different agencies together is important because family violence will hit different areas of community health. “A lot of us don’t work together, we all work in different silos... We need to help each other because we’re basically working with the same families. If we have a family that comes into the shelter, that family has to deal with the justice side of things, that family has to deal with child and family services, that family could be looking for addiction services, some of them are trying to get their children back. There is mental health counseling, housing is a big issue, especially if you’re coming from reserve into the city... There are so many
gaps that we’re looking into.� While it can be a difficult subject to talk about, Mahingen says that their goal is also to end on a positive note, and the structure of the conference reflects this desire. She says it’s a way to ensure mental health, as it means they are not weighed down by what can be heavy subject matter. “We don’t like to leave things heavy in our hearts. We take on other people’s hurts, if you told me a painful story about yourself, I would walk away carrying your story with me, and it would bother me for a few days... If you end on a good note, you’re not carrying that negativity with you.� Ending on a positive note is something that support workers need to remember in their daily lives as well, Mahingen says. “One of the main things we have to do is debrief all the time, so I’m not taking this home with me, and I’m not going home and getting mad at my children for no reason because I’m upset about
something I heard during the day. With the role that I have at the shelter, I’m an in-house counselor, so I’m hearing women’s stories, all their hurt and all their pain. You wouldn’t believe some of the things
people deal with, all their hurt and all their pain.� Mahingen hopes that the conference, now in its first year, becomes a regular event. She also hopes people are better able to deal with trauma, wheth-
er in their own families or in their career, thanks to the information learned at the conference. She says this conference was a good start and she hopes it will strengthen the families in the region.

Local Vikings engage in combat training By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer There are Vikings in town. Loki’s Brood Vikings, the Yorkton branch of the Vinland Vikings, hosted a training event, bringing together four different Viking groups to improve their skills. Stefan Lindal of Loki’s Brood says an event like
this is about improving skills and practicing combat, but it’s also about getting people together and bringing different groups to the same place to have a good time. “It’s fun, we come out and play.� Training is an important part of being able to engage in combat safely, as the goal is to make something that looks dan-
gerous and authentic, rather than put anyone in actual danger. Lindal says that as a result they train every week in the summer, and every second week in the winter. “We’ve actually got one new guy here, it’s the first trainer he’s ever been to, I just met him last night. He’s been learning and he’s going to be taking the basic test today, for safety,
so we know it’s safe to fight with him.� Training is a collaborative effort, and Lindal says that they want to share different moves and techniques with each other to make it more fun for everyone. Part of the reason for bringing the different groups together is it allows people to share their skills with everyone else. “There are different people with different skills with different weapons. Swords, spears, Dane’s axes, all different types of weapons.� The group has recently begun to do shows in different places, going around the province and just recently beginning to do things locally, such as the upcoming Kids Expo. Lindal says he got into it from learning about his own heritage, but everyone has different reasons
for getting into the historic reenactment, as well as different perspectives when they do. They want to have fun, but do it in an authentic way. “It’s educational, we’re teaching proper stuff like no horns on the helmet and stuff like that. Vikings were clean and studious about their dress, they’re not dirty savages.� It’s a family event, and while young kids were kept away from combat itself, they are involved in the group and they believe it’s important to keep family as a big part of the program.
“When you do a reenactment, if you have kids running around it’s way better.� The big meet each year is in Gimli, Manitoba, on the August long weekend. Lindal says they are a welcoming group, and if people are interested they should come to a meeting and see what they’re all about. They meet at Ebenezer school every second Wednesday, the next meeting on February 24. Anyone over 18 can participate in combat, and people aged 16 and 17 can participate with parental approval.

Horseshoe Club closes
By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
The Yorkton Horseshoe Club is closing. Declining membership numbers has lead the club to the difficult decision to disband. Enid Mroske, the final president of the club, says that in the last few years they have struggled to find new members, especially youth. She believes that kids spending their time with sports like baseball, golf and soccer, horseshoes have been left behind. Horseshoing in Yorkton began in 1967 at Jaycee Beach, before moving to the Exhibition Grounds, before finally moving to
the current pitch on First Ave. North in 1982. When that pitch opened, there were 125 members, with 25 of those being juniors. “This kept up for a long time, but then the membership kept dropping off, especially the juniors.� Each club in the province hosted a sanctioned tournament to be part of Horseshoe Saskatchewan. She says that the local tournaments were well attended, bringing in players from around the province and into Manitoba. Mroske says that the most rewarding part of the Horseshoe Club was a partnership with the Saskatchewan Abilities
Council and later the Mental Health Drop-in Centre, hosting a weekly horseshoe meet. “It was a privilege to host these groups and see the joy they had being able to play horseshoes.� The declining membership is what lead to the difficult decision to close the club. “It became too much to carry on, some of us had health problems and it’s hard to keep a club going with so few members.� The clubs funds were given to Horseshoe Saskatchewan and the Health Foundation. The pitch itself was transferred to the City of Yorkton.

Toy collector brings old toys back to life By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Toys are for the young, and the young at heart. The Yorkton Farm Toy and Collectible Show is about bringing toy fans together to find new treasures and share old ones. Farm toy collector John Orsten was one of the people trading at the event, both buying and selling. Orsten has over 800 toys, mostly farm toys, with a special interest in John Deere. Orsten’s main interest is restoration, taking the old toys he finds and bringing them back to life. “I look for stuff I can redo, I don’t like buying new. I like the old stuff and fixing it up.” He began restoring toys when he found an abandoned one of his own. “We had an old house on the farm, and in those days we had no basement and you packed up dirt around the bottom to seal up the floor. We ended up selling it and when we moved it away there was a tractor from when I was a child. The tires were
shot but the body was good... One day I saw it and thought ‘a-ha!’ I liked the way it looked, and that’s how it started.” When it comes to finding toys, one of his main priorities is tires, Orsten says, because original tires are extremely difficult to find, and very expensive when you do. He wants to start with models that are as complete as possible for that reason. Otherwise, most of Orsten’s toys have had a full life in their first life as kids entertainment. “Most of them have been played with, you get lots of old timers who come along and say they used to have one and wish they still made them.” When he restores toys, Orsten often tries to make the toys a little bit different, trying to keep the same look as the vintage toys while also making something new. For example, a former mail truck became a prison transport, complete with a selection of inmates. He also builds toys from scratch, such as building a bale stacker after people
started asking about them. Sometimes restoring a toy means creative use of parts he can find. For example, a tanker truck required the use of a stove pipe to make a tank, welding each end shut which caused its own challenges. “I soldered in one end, and I tried to do [the other] end, and every time I tried to line it up it fell down... I would have to shake it down and try to get it to sit right.” The old toys have an advantage when it comes to restoring just because of the quality of the material. Orsten says he’s attempted to work with newer toys and compares them to a beer can, with cheap metal and plastic. With the old ones, the basic parts are high quality so it makes it much easier. “You can work with this metal, clean it up, glass bead it or sandblast it and it won’t hurt it.” While he restores toys, he says that original condition is the best, and if it has about eighty per cent
LOTS OF TRACTORS could be found at the Yorkton Farm Toy and Collectible Show, some of which were brought by John Orsten, who collects and restores old toys. of the paint on it still someone should keep it as is and not touch it. In spite of some wild weather on Saturday, Orsten says it was a great show, with a packed house and a lot of people trading
and talking about toys. For himself, Orsten says he found a John Deere 4320 that he has been looking for, because it matches one he has in real life but not as a toy. The toy show raised
$1,625 for Lipton Lipinski through ticket sales and a charity pedal tractor draw, with the tractor donated by Al and Marilyn Kuntz. Lipinski has cerebral palsy.
Grandkids inspire Serendipity Doll Fashions By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Retirement means different things to different people. Some might take the time to go fishing, others might travel. For the women behind Serendipity doll fashions, retirement means sewing, as Fauntie Phillips, Monika Schindel and Pat Viczko have dived headfirst into making custom doll clothes. The business began with grandchildren, explains Phillips. After her granddaughters received American Girl dolls for Christmas, she sewed some clothes for them. After all three
women sewed clothing for kids, the quality of their work got noticed, and they started to travel to local shows. “We love sewing, this is not work for us, this is fun... We meet every Wednesday and it’s like show and tell.” They take their inspiration from children’s clothes themselves, and often make clothing for the dolls with used kids clothing itself. The clothing is made to be handled, Phillips says, and they watch kids closely to see what they might be having difficulty with and alter patterns accordingly.
That also comes down to the amount of care and detail they put into the garments themselves, they need to be durable, and handled by 8-10 year olds who are not known to be gentle with their toys. Phillips says they want to have higher quality than clothes made through some of the mail order services. “We sew as though it
would be a garment for us.” When it comes to the Yorkton Farm Toy and Collectible Show, Phillips admits they are a bit of counter-programming, something different from the trucks and tractors that make up the majority of the displays. “A boy gets a tractor, and his little sister gets something of comparable
value from us.” While the granddaughters were the inspiration for the business and earliest product testers, Phillips says, “Now they’re some of our best customers. Our granddaughters earn allowance so they can buy doll clothes. It works for me!” Serendipity now goes to different craft and toy shows in the area, and
maintains a Facebook presence at Serendipity Doll Fashions. Phillips says it has been retirement entertainment for them. “Nobody told us what retirement was going to be, and we decided it wasn’t going to be reading a book.” It was going to be sitting down at a sewing machine.

Be a Norway, Saskatchewan Why does Saskatchewan have the biggest legislative building in the country? Because Sir Walter Scott, the province’s first premier, was a man of vision. He did not build the Leg for the 250,000 or so residents of 1906, he built it for the 20 million he predicted would flock to the province by 1926. Why are British Columbia and New Brunswick both Canadian provinces? Because Sir John A. MacDonald, Canada’s first prime minister, was a man of vision. He promised these two far flung territories a national railway and by hook and by crook, mostly the latter, he delivered. Canada would not exist if these people and many who came before and would come after, did not do bold, impractical things. Where is the vision today? Certainly not in that beautiful structure at Wascana Park. In today’s political climate, we would not have the Leg, the TransCanada Railway, the Rideau Canal, the University of Saskatchewan, the Canadian Aerospace Industry, the St. Lawrence Seaway, the TransCanada pipeline, the oilsands, hydroelectric power, the Confederation Bridge or the Candu Reactor because they were done for the future, not the present. The visionaries who built them were not slaves to the tedious bottom line. Today, instead of doing the difficult thing and leading the world to a greener future, we are bogged down with an endless pipeline debate that basically amounts to attempting to preserve the past. Here are three visionary energy projects Saskatchewan could undertake for the future, bearing in mind that it’s not just about supplying our own needs, but developing the industries to sell to the world. 1. Nuclear. Saskatchewan has the largest highgrade deposits of Uranium in the world. Canada exports 85 per cent of which our production and uses the other 15 per cent to power reactors in Ontario and New Brunswick. We do not refine it here or produce fuel for reactors here. Heck, we don’t even use it here. There are 19 reactors in Canada, all but one of which are in Ontario. And not only that, we live on just about the most stable part of the Earth’s crust, making Saskatchewan the perfect place to store nuclear waste. Nuclear power is clean, it is safe and it could be extremely cheap. We should be developing a nuclear industry in Saskatchewan including innovating new small-scale reactor technology that could be adopted by cities and towns. 2. Solar. Okay, nuclear is still unnecessarily controversial, but in Saskatchewan we have another nuclear source of power that is unrivalled by any other province, hours of bright sunshine. Since 1966, the average for our largest city, Saskatoon, was 2,264 hours per year. Why are we not embracing solar like it’s going out of business especially since it is just on the cusp of being the business of the future. Again, solar is clean, safe and virtually free once we develop the technology. Where better to do it than Canada’s sunniest province? 3. Wind. Wind and solar basically go hand in hand. The individual visionaries who have adopted solar usually also have a turbine (there’s a completely self-sufficient farm just minutes northeast of Yorkton) recognizing that even being the sunniest province, there are times “the sun don’t shine.” We do not top the windiest province list, but Saskatchewan is definitely up there and the arguments are the same as for nuclear and solar. This province needs to be in the wind business. When Alberta started developing its oil wealth, it had a really great plan. It put aside money for a rainy day. Norway did the same. Unfortunately, Alberta squandered its legacy. The rainy day fund is gone and instead of diversifying, it doubled down on a sunset industry that is currently in the toilet. Norway, on the other hand, has a rainy day fund that is approaching a trillion dollars and has developed hydro, wind and wave power to meet its own energy needs. And, although the country doesn’t use much solar energy, it is one of the world’s largest producers of solar grade silicon and silicon solar cells. Saskatchewan is going to the polls very soon. There are lots of day-to-day, nitty-gritty issues, jobs, health care, education, accountability, but we should also be asking our prospective leaders about their vision for the province. Are we going to be an Alberta, or are we going to be a Norway?
Time to defend the bus service I will begin by admitting very few people choose to ride an STC bus. Nor does anyone pretend that it’s a profitable venture for the province, especially since it’s heavily subsidized. But I come here not to curse the province’s bus service, but to defend it. Now that there are people who are trying to shut the service down – the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, specifically – it’s time to remember why it’s subsidized. That reason is right in the first sentence of this column, it’s because for many people they do not choose the bus, the bus is thrust upon them. This bus service is subsidized because it is a lifeline to remote, rural areas. It serves as a package delivery service, and a people delivery service, and that’s the core of why it’s so important to keep it alive. For many people who STC serves, the bus is the only option, whether it’s getting them to larger centers which they lack the transportation to access otherwise, or getting them packages they would not otherwise receive. It’s a link for people who otherwise might not have a link, and for a lot of communities, it’s a link nobody else really wants to provide. The CTF points out that the people in these areas are resourceful and could figure out an alternate methods of doing the same service. Perhaps they could get some sort of large vehicle that can transport a large number of people and a variety of cargo between two points. It could be long and roughly rectangular, I think there’s a word for it, starts with ‘b.’ Oh right, a bus, we have that already, STC runs it. They suggest a private industry could operate a replacement. But for a lot of these routes, they would need some kind of encouragement, because they’re not going to serve a lot of people. Maybe some kind of cash payment from the government to encourage the usage of relatively unprofitable routes. Or you could just spend $14 million on STC like we already do, since that seems to be the price of operating those routes. Which is not to say that there are no changes that could be made. There could be different vehicles used on less populated routes, just to lower the costs of operation. Even the times of bus services could be changed to reflect traffic on different routes. It’s sensible to try to save money on the service, but the service is still necessary, so it still needs to exist. If there are ways to make routes less expensive to run while still providing service for everyone who needs it, we should look at them, but we start by making sure we provide the right level of service, rather than start from the perspective of cutting costs. It also still needs to cost the same for the end user. Remember, many people don’t choose the bus,
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger it is chosen for them, and for some of those people it is because of a limited income. If you can’t afford to drive yourself, you need that bus, and you need that fare to be relatively inexpensive. The result is that bus fares have to be priced with people with limited income in mind. People who can’t afford a reliable car are going to be a big part of the bus traffic, and they’re not going to be able to absorb a big fee increase. That’s also the reason why a private option is not going to be a suitable replacement for STC. There are plenty of private bus companies in the world, it’s going to be difficult to convince them to take on a route that is proven to not make money. They can take it and raise the price, which defeats the purpose, since it exists because other options are not economically viable. They can take it and lose money, but that’s not going to be something any private business is going to be willing to do, and nobody should expect them to do that either. Instead, we have a perfectly functional provincial bus service, which exists largely to provide that service to communities which would otherwise get cut off. That’s what it’s there for, that’s why it gets a fairly large subsidy each year, and that’s why we should happily pay for it. It’s easy to forget that a service like STC is necessary, especially when you’re in a demographic that does not need to use it. On paper it doesn’t make as much sense, since it’s a service that will likely never actually make money. But the reason it is important has nothing to do with paper, it’s all the people who use it as a lifeline for their communities. If STC closed tomorrow I will admit that it would not affect me. I have not ridden the bus in my adult life, and this city is well served for courier services. The difference is that I am well aware that I am not the only person in the world, and there are many people in this province with needs that are significantly different from mine. Many of these people need the bus, and without STC to provide it there would be no replacement for them. It would be a huge blow to their community, and this is why, in spite of problems, the bus needs to keep moving.

Trudeau didn’t cut and run in the fight against ISIS
Not that it’s anyone’s business, but I voted Liberal in the last election. The Liberal candidate in our riding, Nathaniel ErskineSmith, made it easy. Serious, impressive young guy, great C.V. Had a big red sign on our front lawn touting him, the minute the writ was dropped. Easy choice. Standing in the voting booth at a local school on Election Day, a stub of pencil hovering over a slip of paper, however, I hesitated a bit. I thought back over the preceding months. Justin Trudeau’s verbal flubs, which his own staff had admitted to me were a problem. The preoccupation with marijuana to the seeming exclusion of anything else. Letting imported terrorists keep acquired Canadian citizenship, even after
they were convicted of killing someone. The selfies. Eve Adams. Notso-open nominations. And so on. There had been not a few things to make one think twice, perhaps, about voting Liberal. But the big one, for me, was the promise to pull out of the coalition fighting ISIS. That one, for me - along with several million other Canadians, for quite a while - had me wondering how to vote. When veteran Liberal MP Irwin Cotler abstained on his party’s ISIS position in the House of Commons, I knew: Trudeau had made a big, big mistake. The polls reflected it. The Vatican had called ISIS the authors of genocide. The United Nations had provided proof they were engaged in genocide. ISIS had revealed itself to be a well-funded, well-organized genocidal cult - a
malignant force unlike any that we had seen in our lifetimes. They were not going away, either. Beheadings, crucifixions, mass rapes, enslavements, torture, and - don’t forget - the actual murder of actual Canadian citizens. ISIS was doing all of those things, sometimes on YouTube so everyone could see it. There was proof. It was real. Equally real, equally true, was this: the Liberal Party of Canada sent Canadian forces into battle to fight fascism in the Second World War. To stop genocide, in Bosnia. To contain terror, in Afghanistan. It was Liberal governments which made those difficult decisions. Liberals rightly opposed the war in Iraq in 2003 because that American-led effort lacked evidence of weapons of mass destruction. It lacked
United Nations support. In 2015, however, the United Nations had clearly documented horrors carried out by ISIS - including the murder and enslavement of children. How - I and many others wondered - how could Justin Trudeau be unmoved by all that? Well, he wasn’t. For quite some time, I had agreed with Trudeau on one important criticism: Stephen Harper’s contribution to the war against ISIS was a bit of a farce. Six fighter jets? That is all? Harper’s soaring antiISIS rhetoric did not even remotely match what he was doing on the ground in Iraq and Syria. He was not doing nearly enough. Trudeau initially gave us all the impression that he felt Harper was doing too much, true. But it turns out it was a head fake. When it came time for the newly-minted Liberal
Prime Minister to make a decision of his own, at or about the 100-day mark of his administration, here is what he decided: he didn’t pull Canada out. He actually committed us to an even greater role in the just and proper fight against ISIS. More, not less. He is tripling - tripling - the number of Canadian special forces, on the ground, training Kurdish forces. He is sending Canadian troops into nations other than Iraq. He is spending millions more on counter-terrorism measures. It was a change that was “riskier overall,” said Canada’s Chief of Defence staff. And, from our Minister of Defence: “There’s no mistake about it, we are in a conflict zone.” The reaction of our allies? Barack Obama, David Cameron and the Pentagon all rushed to applaud it. The White
House even issued a statement: “The President welcomed Canada’s current and new contributions to Coalition efforts and highlighted Canada’s leadership in the Coalition.” Sound like Trudeau is cutting and running to you? Me, neither. If anything, he’s more fully committed to the fight against the enemy than Harper was. Moral of the story? There may have indeed been reasons not to vote Liberal in 2015. But Justin Trudeau’s apparent reluctance to take the fight to ISIS was not one of them. Troy Media columnist Warren Kinsella is a Canadian journalist, political adviser and commentator.

Your letter of the Week Proceed cautiously with new laws To the Editor: As they draft new laws on assisted suicide or euthanasia, our governments must proceed cautiously and adopt laws that are as restrictive as possible, to protect the most vulnerable. This is not just a religious issue. Concerns about the serious implications of legalizing assisted suicide or euthanasia come from many sources including former supporters of legalization, newspaper columnists
and editors, palliative care physicians (who want nothing to do with killing their patients), psychiatrists (who fear becoming ‘suicide enablers’ when there is a chance for treatment), and anesthesiologists (who warn that hastened death does not always result in a peaceful exit but comes with its own set of possible complications: convulsions, regurgitating the lethal drugs, ‘reawakening’ after swallowing drugs, or taking longer than expected to die.)
There are growing calls for a better alternative – quality palliative care, which reduces pressure on acute and longterm health care settings, and improves quality of life for patients and their families. There is an urgent need for Parliament to act on the motion passed in 2014 for a pan-Canadian palliative and end-of-life care strategy. Freedom of conscience for individuals and health care institutions must also be protected, so that no one feels pressured into
killing patients against their will and better judgment. With laws that are as restrictive as possible, with conscience rights, and with quality palliative care, almost all requests for a lethal injection (euthanasia) or to get a prescription for a lethal dose of medication (assisted suicide) would likely disappear, and our country could preserve its social heritage of caring.

Sissinghurst, the White Garden and more… by Sara Williams
When writer Vita Sackville-West first fell in love with Sissinghurst (in Kent County, southeast of London, England) in1930, then a ruin used to incarcerate French prisoners of war in the mid-1700s then later as a workhouse in the 1800s, her son Nigel aged 13 asked, “But we haven’t got to live here?” Lacking his mother’s vision, he saw it for it was – a barely habitable stone ruins surrounded by a heap of rubbish. But live there they did, the first five years with neither electricity nor running water. With her husband Harold Nicolson, historian and diplomat, Vita developed the now world famous six acre garden. He designed the rather formal layout and she planted it in a relaxed and overflowing
abundance. The garden, walls and moat contain not a single right angle. Sissinghurst is 10 garden ‘rooms’ linked by paths and vistas. Visitors enter the garden through a central archway in the “front range”, part of the original building dating from 1490. Along one side of the front courtyard is the Purple Border with climbing roses clothing the inner side of the front range. The view from the pink-red brick Tudor Tower, reached by a spiral wooden staircase, provides an orientation of the garden’s layout and is a “must” at the beginning of a visit to Sissinghurst – and again at the end as a summation of where you have been and seen. The Yew Walk parallels the front range on the far side of the Tower Lawn and leads
to the Rose Garden to the south and the White Garden to the north. The Rose Garden is planted with old-fashioned roses along with iris and clematis to extend the season. In its centre is Harold’s “rondel”, a circle of lawn delineated by a formal clipped circle of yew hedge with openings leading into the gardens. Past the Rose Garden, one enters the Italian style Lime Walk with its canopy of carefully clipped lindens underplanted with spring bulbs. Impatiens in Tuscan terracotta pots give it colour through the season. The South Cottage was the first building made habitable by the Nicolsons, and its intimate garden the first area planted. A “hot garden”, of yellows, reds and oranges, it is backed by the dark green of yews

and a riot of colour in all seasons. The Moat Walk, banked by azaleas and the hazelnuts of “the nuttery” on its south side, leads to the two remaining arms of the medieval moat that once surrounded the property. In the southeast corner is the formal rectangular Herb Garden, fronted by a thyme lawn. So acute was Vita’s sense of smell, that with her eyes closed she could identify any of the over one hundred herbs it contains. The roughly rectangular area, once surrounded by the moat, is now a grassy orchard of flowering cherry and apple trees, filled with daffodils and narcissus in spring and later wild flowers, and cut across by several mown paths. Sissinghurst is most famous for its White
Sissinghurst lives up to its reputation. It is, indeed, “worth the trip.” Sara will be hosting a garden tour to England this May. You are cordially invited to attend her presentation, “Great Gardens of Great Britain” at McNally Robinson’s Book Store on Thursday, Feb. 25 at 7 pm.

Garden, composed of white flowers and pale grey foliage within a classical pattern of low boxwood hedges. The paths are paved with old bricks. The White Garden is also “the most carefully orchestrated” of the gardens. Vita was said to have calculated the “likely appearance week by week as different plants of different heights flowered at different times.” Here is the origin of ‘Sissinghurst White’ lungwort (Pulmonaria) that does so well in our prairie gardens. Visitors will not be disappointed. In May 1938, for the price of a shilling admission, the garden was first opened to the public under the National Garden Scheme. Vita died in 1962. In 1967 Harold gave Sissinghurst to the National Trust in whose care it remains.

Second edition reflects demand
“Frontier Farewell: The 1870s and the End of the Old West” by Garrett Wilson Published by University of Regina Press Review by Keith Foster $34.95 ISBN 978-088977-361-5 You can gauge the importance of a book when it is released as a new edition. There’s a reason some books go into a second printing – the demand for more copies is just too great. Back by popular demand, a second edition of Garrett Wilson’s Frontier Farewell: The 1870s and the End of the Old West, with a new foreword by Candace Savage, has been released. As the subtitle suggests, Frontier Farewell focuses on the 1870s. In a single generation, the face of the West was transformed forever. Rupert’s Land was transferred from the Hudson’s Bay Company to the new Dominion of Canada, leading to the First Riel Rebellion at
Fort Garry, treaties with the Aboriginal inhabitants in the West, surveys along the International Boundary, the formation of the North-West Mounted Police, and side effects from the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Wilson covers it all. Frontier Farewell is rife with political intrigue. American activists in Minnesota and Dakota Territory coveted the vast territory to their north and wanted to add it to its already burgeoning nation. They openly supported Louis Riel, believing that independence for the Red River settlement would be a first step towards joining the United States. Wilson criticizes the Mounted Police hierarchy for being so ill-prepared on their march west. The raw recruits were not even equipped with canteens as they traversed great open swatches of prairie where water was either nonexistent or unfit to drink. Even after it was filtered,
water was the colour of ink. The Mounted Police were even less prepared when Sitting Bull moved his Sioux north of the international border after the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Developing a warm friendship with Inspector James Walsh, Sitting Bull refused to return to the United States. His fear and distrust was wellfounded – Americans were notorious for breaking their promises. Frontier Farewell provides some startling insights into the past. Contrary to John Palliser’s belief that parts of the Great Plains could not support agriculture, Wilson points out that those same plains had supported millions of buffalo. The demise of these wild creatures, which had freely roamed as far as the eye could see, marked the end of an era. This 527-page book contains extensive endnotes, bibliography, chron-
ology, index, and more than fifty black and white photos and maps. At the 2007 Saskatchewan Book Awards, Frontier Farewell won the Award for Scholarly Writing, as well as accolades from reviewers. There is little doubt that this second edition will garner further praise, not only from scholars but from the general public and history buffs in particular. Like a detective, Wilson scoured archives and other historical resources to
sleuth out the facts. As a lawyer, he argues his case well, backed up with diligently researched evidence. An artisan with words, he weaves the facts together to form a seamless ribbon. The strategist in him marshals this evidence to make his case, and the verdict is in – the awards and accolades are well deserved. THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE AT YOUR LOCAL BOOKSTORE OR FROM WWW.SKBOOKS.

The Real Planet 9 This week, I’m going to say a few words about something you cannot see from your back yard. Well, you can, but only as a really, really tiny dot. Even the world’s largest telescopes see a really, really tiny dot. Not back yard material, but I don’t care. I’m talking about it anyway. I can’t tell you how impressed I am that the publisher of The News Review had the foresight to put out this paper on the 86th anniversary of Pluto’s discovery. Your timing, Sir, is impeccable. Pluto was discovered on February 18th, 1930 by 23 year old American astronomer Clyde Tombaugh (1906-1997). Clyde was employed by the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, after they saw his planetary sketches made through his home made telescopes back on the farm in Kansas. His job was to pick up on deceased astronomer Percival Lowell’s search for ‘Planet X’, a yet unseen mysterious body that affected the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. It took him a year, but he found it. Pluto, named after the Greek god of the underworld by an 11 year old girl in Oxford, England,
The Universe from your own back yard by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca. caught on. Pluto was the ninth planet, and everyone appeared good with that. Almost. From the start, it was noted that although Pluto met the definition of a planet as to orbit and shape, it apparently failed to aggressively clear it’s orbit of other debris. So what, I say? Even the band Meat Loaf knew that ‘Two Out of Three ain’t Bad’. But some people just won’t let go, so when an object larger than Pluto was discovered in 2005, it took the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the group responsible for naming things in space, less than a year to re-write the definition of a planet and effectively exclude Pluto. Some people have no sense of tradition. So, Pluto is now officially a Dwarf Planet (sounds derogatory, but maybe it’s just me). Still, a long-planned mission to
fly a spacecraft to Pluto went through: on July 14, 2015, the New Horizons spacecraft shot past Pluto, and is now busy returning some great photographs and scientific data over the 5.5 light-hours distance back to the Earth. A nice touch: mission scientists asked Tombaugh’s permission to ‘visit his planet’ at the beginning of planning, and as Tombaugh was deceased at the time of the 2006 launch, the spacecraft carries some of his ashes. That, IAU, is respect; something you could use a little work on. Anyway, I may be an old sentimentalist, but it will always be a planet to me. This week, Pluto rises at 6 a.m., an hour before Venus and Mercury, but you can’t see it because it’s really, really dim. I don’t care; I know it’s there. Happy Anniversary, Pluto. Really sorry about the demotion.

Canadian NHL teams struggle enmasse
If anyone had told me at the beginning of the National Hockey League season that we would be at a point in February where the likelihood of a Canadian team making the playoffs would seem remote, I would have laughed. Montreal looked poised to compete for a top team in the east, and they started out looking the part, but an often injured Carey Price has shown the Canadiens are still a rather onedimensional franchise, strong in net, and lacking in other facets of the game. Vancouver which perennially seems to make the playoffs, were expected to stay in the picture this season, but the Sedin twins, (Daniel and Henrik), are showing their age, and without the talented pair at the level they have been, the Canucks are thin. Calgary and Winnipeg both made the playoffs last year, although neither was really expected too. While I am a huge fan of both teams, and I truly wanted the success of last season to extend to this one, there was a realization there might well be a step back too, and that has clearly occurred. The Flames relied on a surprising number of third period comebacks last year, and that was never likely to be repeated. Teams that lead going into the third simply win far more often than not in the NHL, to the point where comebacks are really a rare occurrence. The Jets are still a team that is going through a build phase, much like Calgary and Edmonton, and that rebuild has shown cracks this season. Winnipeg gives up far too many goals in the first fiveminutes of a game, and that hurts. The Jets also take too many penalties, and of course that translates into giving up too many powerplay goals. The early goals, and the goals against while short-handed have crashed the Jets into the depths of the standings among the also rans. It hasn’t helped to have the distraction of star rearguard Dustin Byfuglien and team Captain Andrew Ladd in that state of limbo called the final year of a contract. Teams can’t let assets just walk away at sea-

Sports View From the Couch by Calvin Daniels son’s end to explore the realm of free agency, so its ink a deal or get traded. Credit the Jets with finally getting Byfuglien signed to a five-year extension. The big man contributes in a lot of ways, goals, hits and community, so it’s a key deal. I like Ladd, but I just can’t see him a Jet after the big Byfuglien deal. Ottawa really falls into the same category as the Flames and Jets, taking a step back this season, which should not come as a major surprise. Then there is Toronto, long a dumpster fire. They have a new brain trust in place in terms of head coach, but Mike Babcock can’t score goals, or stop shots from behind the bench. There is still a huge rebuild ahead for the Maple Leafs and they are better off at the bottom of the league where a higher draft choice will come, than any false hope of making the playoffs. Interesting the two Ontario teams pulled a major trade last week. The big name was Dion Phaneuf going to the Sens, showing, I suppose, that Ottawa holds out hope to make the playoffs this year. Phaneuf comes with a big contract, so the offload of salary for the Leafs is a great move, since the rearguard’s best days are behind him, and he will not be an integral element when, or maybe if, Toronto rebuilds to contention.
In Ottawa, if Phaneuf can lift them to a playoff spot, it’s a mirage win. Making the playoffs is of course a goal, but Phaneuf, or not, Ottawa is not a Cup contender, so taking on a big salary of a player with diminishing returns seems short-sighted. The deal actually was a 10-player affair, which sounds very dramatic, but names such as Casey Vailey, Matt Frattin, and Colin Geening are not going to add a lot either way. TO wins on the salary dump, and might be bigger winners if they can get more out of acquired d-man Jared Cowen and forward Milan Michalek who has missed games due to injury the last two seasons. Not that repeated high craft choices have helped Edmonton. Connor McDavid may eventually get the Oilers into some level of contention, but the team still has questionable goaltending, are thin on
defence, have limited winger toughness, and no history in terms of winning at the NHL in the line-up. That is a lot to overcome, and they frankly haven’t really taken a step forward again this season. Edmonton will likely tinker, Justin Schultz often talked about since he is headed to free agency. A Schultz deal will be a minor one since his production has
declined two straight seasons, and was even a healthy scratch recently. Expect a bigger off season move when the Oiler brain trust makes its decision who is essential on a McDavid line. Those not on that trio will be dangled to fill blue line and goaltending holes, or at least they better be if the team expects to grow. For teams trying to build, Winnipeg,
Calgary, Toronto, Edmonton, another high draft choice will not be a bad asset to have, and long term are a good thing for each team. Montreal has different issues. With Price they are a team which can contend in the regular season, but after P.K. Subban and Tomas Plekanec the team is thin in terms of scoring. Continued on Page A11
RIVALRY RENEWED – The Highway 10 rivalry in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League heated up for a final time in the regular season with a home-andhome set on the weekend. Friday the teams faced off at the Horizon Credit Union Centre in Melville where the Mills would emerge 3-2 victors via the shoot-out.. The rivals were back at it Saturday in a rare afternoon tilt at the Farrell Agencies Arena in Yorkton. Brandon Sookro scoring his second of the contest, and 25th of the season at 16:03 of the third would give Yorkton a 3-2 win on home ice. With a five-point week Yorkton now sits 10-points in front of Melville, with 33, for third spot in the Viterra Division, and the same 10 above Humboldt in terms of the 10th and final playoff spot.

Nursing students take the scare out of care
For a small child, a visit to a hospital or a clinic can be a scary experience. In an effort to ease those fears, Parkland College partnered with the Yorkton Nursery School Cooperative (YNSC) on a fun event called the Teddy Bear Clinic. On Feb. 11 and 12, students enrolled in the University of Saskatchewan Bachelor of Science in Nursing
(BSN) program at Parkland College visited the three- and four-yearolds at YNSC. The children brought their favourite teddy bear or stuffed animal to the nursery school, and the nursing students helped the kids through a “hospital” with several different stations. The children were able to listen to their stuffie’s heartbeat, take vitals, use an otoscope to check
the toy’s ears and eyes, and even apply dressings to imaginary wounds. “The goal of the Teddy Bear Clinic is to alleviate fears in children when going to the hospital by exposing them to equipment and nursing students in a fun and safe manner,” said Tracy Gabriel, a Registered Nurse and BSN instructor. The benefit also
extends to the thirdyear nursing students. This exercise is part of their pediatrics clinical rotation, in which they have the opportunity to assess children and observe health growth and development. In partnership with the U of S College of Nursing and Sunrise Health Region, Parkland College delivers the BSN degree in Yorkton.
Students can take all four years of the program through Parkland College. Graduates are eligible to write a licensure exam to become a registered nurse. About Us: Parkland College strives to help students in East Central Saskatchewan achieve their goals and build the foundation for successful careers. Students can
choose from a wide array of educational options, including university degrees, skills training diplomas and certificates, trades training, high school upgrading, safety training, and corporate/ professional development. Parkland College is a learner-centered organization and is proud to be one of Saskatchewan’s Top Employers for 2016.
Heritage Week proclaimed in Saskatchewan Heritage Week aims to raise awareness about Saskatchewan’s exciting past and historic resources. The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed February 14-20 Heritage Week in Saskatchewan. Initiated through a partnership between the Saskatchewan Heritage Foundation and Heritage Saskatchewan, Heritage Week plays an important role in sharing Saskatchewan’s story across the province. “Our province has a truly unique history and it is important to be shared with current and future generations,” Minister of Parks, Culture and Sport Mark Docherty said. “Saskatchewan’s story has been shaped by many people, places and events. Heritage
Week is a great way to tell this story, and it is also a time to celebrate the individuals and organizations who do so much to ensure our heritage is protected.” “The Saskatchewan Heritage Foundation is pleased to work with Heritage Saskatchewan each year to help celebrate Heritage Week across the province,” Saskatchewan Heritage Foundation Chair Royce Pettyjohn said. “This week we encourage all Saskatchewan residents to pause and consider the things we cherish and the meaning behind the places that matter.” “Heritage Week is a great time to celebrate our diverse heritage and to acknowledge that heritage is ongoing and shaped by people,” Heritage Saskatchewan CEO Ingrid Cazakoff
said. “As an organization, Heritage Saskatchewan seeks to promote an understanding of living heritage to ensure that all have the opportunity to participate and create meaningful relationships to build communities that recognize cultural differences and similarities as important for a shared future.” In celebration of Saskatchewan Heritage Week, a number of events will be taking place across the province, including information sessions, heritage workshops and a Yorkton Film Festival reception and screening of its World War film series in Saskatoon. The Saskatchewan Heritage Foundation will also be celebrating their 25th Anniversary at S a s k a t o o n ’s
Broadway Theatre on Thursday, February 18 at 7 p.m. The event is open to all wishing to attend. With cultural connections to many in the province, the Government of Saskatchewan has also proclaimed 2016 as the Year of Saskatchewan U k r a i n i a n s . Acknowledging the 125th anniversary of the first wave of Ukrainian immigration to Canada and Saskatchewan, Year of Saskatchewan Ukrainians celebrates the culture and traditions richly embedded within the province.

Canadian NHL teams struggle enmasse Cont’ from Page A9
They need to make a move to add a top-five player to the fold, but that may mean trading the high draft pick for more immediate help this offseason. Vancouver is the team that has perhaps the most difficult
choices ahead. The best days of this edition of the team as it is seem behind them. Ideally, you would trade the Sedin twins and begin a major retool, but Henrik and Daniel are going to want to finish their careers together, so a trade is near impos-
sible. What team could give up the player and draft resources to get both Sedins, and then absorb the twins salary under the cap? Probably no one, and so retooling in Vancouver seems hamstrung from the outset. I would expect the Canucks to move
Radim Vrbata who will head to free agency at season’s end. And there you have it, seven Canadian teams all having seasons that are less than stellar, and all quite likely to miss the playoffs. Now NHL playoffs in May and June
have a hard time holding my interest at any time. That is the time of spring fishing, disc golf and reading a good book in the sunshine at the park, but with no Canadian team to follow I’ll have tuned out NHL hockey the day the regular season ends, watching a few
games the last week or two of the schedule just to prepare for an extended offseason. I wish I could, but I see no dramatic surges to the playoffs among the seven this year, which will at least mean a spring unfettered by tuning in playoff games.
Museum fundraiser returns for a third year Artifact/Artifiction, the signature fundraising event for the Royal Saskatchewan Museum (RSM), hosted by the Friends of the RSM, takes place on Saturday, February 6 at the museum beginning at 7 p.m. The event features 20 intriguing and rarely displayed artifacts from the RSM’s heritage collections, and 20 amazing tales about those artifacts, as presented by museum curators and staff. Attendees have to decipher fact from fiction by determining which stories are tall tales and which are true. The event will also feature the culinary expertise of award-winning chef Milton Rebello, as well as beverages provided
by Rebellion Brewing. Net profits raised from Artifact/Artifiction support scientific research at the RSM through the $25,000 RSM Graduate Scholarship. “Artifact/Artifiction is an event with many positive impacts,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty said. “Not only is it a unique and entertaining evening for guests, the funds raised support graduate students, and their research, along with the research of RSM curators. I applaud the Friends of the RSM for their hard work in organizing this meaningful and successful event.” The RSM is proud to announce Charlie Bailey as the 2016
“Artifact/Artifiction is an event with many positive impacts,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty said. Graduate Scholarship recipient. The scholarship supports exceptional students conducting research that furthers the RSM’s mandate to study, interpret and share knowledge about Saskatchewan’s natural and human history. Charlie Bailey grew up in rural Manitoba and completed an Arts degree at Brandon University
before pursuing a second undergraduate degree in Biology at the University of Saskatchewan (U of S). At the U of S, she fell in love with the study of insects and rekindled her childhood passion for botany. Currently a graduate student with the Faculty of Science at the University of Regina, Bailey’s master’s project involves investigating to what
degree wild insects are responsible for sour cherry pollination. Dwarf Sour Cherries are a relatively new fruit crop in Saskatchewan but its popularity is growing with production in the prairies, more than tripling over the past 20 years. Cory Sheffield, Curator of Invertebrate Zoology at the RSM, is one of Charlie’s master’s supervisors. “I enjoy being a lone ‘blue and gold’ island in the sea of green that is Regina,” Bailey said. “I’m excited to learn about Saskatchewan’s insect diversity and to contribute to agricultural practices in the province; the RSM scholarship opens doors to exciting avenues in
my research and I’m very thankful to receive this award.” Artifact/Artifiction is proudly presented by ISC, and supported by MLT and the Faculty of Science, University of Regina. A limited number of tickets are available for $75 per person or a group of eight for $600. Tickets can be purchased at the RSM Museum Gift Shop, by calling 306-757-5951, or by email at michelle. hunter@gov.sk.ca. Tax receipts are available.

SK proclaims approved private service home week The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed February 15 – 21, 2016, as Approved Private Service Home (APSH) Week to recognize approved private home service providers and families who support and care for residents with cognitive, mental health or physical disabilities. “I am pleased to join approved private service home providers across the province in celebrating their contributions to enriching the lives of their residents in meaningful and caring ways,” Social Services Minister Donna Harpauer said. “Approved private service home providers are important members in many communities and
play a critical role in helping to meet the needs of many vulnerable Saskatchewan citizens.” Approved private service homes and approved mental health homes are private homes in communities which provide support for individuals with intellectual disabilities or mental health issues. These homes make it possible for residents to experience family living in a community setting and provide the opportunity to develop social, recreational and life skills. There are currently 187 approved private service homes and 195 approved mental health homes in Saskatchewan which
“I am pleased to join approved private service home providers across the province in celebrating their contributions to enriching the lives of their residents in meaningful and caring ways,” Social Services Minister Donna Harpauer said. provide residences to more than 1,000 individuals. “APSH Week provides an excellent opportunity to recognize the dedication of the operators of
approved homes in providing the best possible care to their residents, many of whom live with significant challenges,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “The Ministry of
Health greatly values their contribution and will continue to support their efforts.” Saskatchewan Approved Private Homes Inc. (SAPH) is a nonprofit organization that provides information, resources and supports to approved private service home providers and promotes approved home development across Saskatchewan. “SAPH is proud to partner with the Government of Saskatchewan in honouring approved private service home providers for opening their hearts and family homes to Saskatchewan’s most vulnerable citizens,” SAPH Executive Director Iris MillerDennis said.

We watched you suffer We saw you die But all we could do was sit close by You went away, we had to part God eased your pain But broke our hearts They say there is a reason They say that time will heal But neither time nor reason Will change the way we feel For no-one knows the heartache That lies behind our smiles No-one knows how many times We have broken down and cried We want to tell you something So there won’t be any doubt You’re so wonderful to think of But so hard to be without Remembering you is easy We do it every day It’s just the pain of losing you That never goes away Always remembered and sadly missed Your loving wife, Carol and families

The Travelling Mabels, voted ACMA 2011 “Group of the Year,” are a folk/country female trio full of spirit, spunk and laughter. Collectively, their songs bring a wealth of life experience to the stage. Singularly, each woman can vocally stand alone, but once you hear the combined harmony blend, you will know why these three women came together. The beauty of the Mabels is that they represent three generations of women. This has opened the door to a dynamic energy both musically and in the rapport with the audiences that most wouldn’t experience every day. With musical influences from Dolly Parton & Bob Dylan to Sheryl Crow, along with their comedic, yet often heart-felt take on life, they more than meet a wide range of audience expectations. www.the travellingmabels.com Tickets are available at the Yorkton Arts Council, 306-783-8722, or Welcome Home Gift Shop. You can also go online at www.yorktonarts.ca or www.ticketpro.ca Volunteers Needed! The Canadian Red Cross is seeking volunteers for the Friendly Visiting Program for Seniors.
