The dogs of Yorkton could be getting a new place to run and play. An off-leash dog park is in the works and interested com-munity members attended an information meeting to see cur-rent plans and what needs to be done to take the concept to real-ity. Lisa Washington, Community Development Manager for Community Development, Parks and Recreation, says the proposed park would be located at J.C. Beach in a former picnic area. The projected cost of the project is $38,000, with the main expense being fencing at

$27,000. Other amenities being included will be signs indicat-ing the rules, benches, privacy inserts on the ball diamond side and trash cans for dog waste. The city has earmarked $25,000 for the project, with the remaining $13,000 coming from the fundraising efforts of com-munity members. At the meet-ing, interested people were recruited to start talking about ways to raise the additional funds to get the idea off the ground. The next step for the park will be an on-site meeting, which will depend on what hap-pens when the snow melts. Washington hopes to have the location open in summer,

though she admits that it is dif-ficult to predict how long it will take for the project to be com-plete. “The big thing about these outdoor projects is that it depends a lot on the weather, but I’m optimistic. We have

people now that are stepping forward, it’s not just people say-ing that it is a good idea... These are volunteers that are dedicated to seeing this through,” Washington says. Community members will be a driving force for the project, and Washington notes that they will be responsible for ensuring everyone abides by the rules and keeps the location tidy and friendly. She says that it’s going to be driven by the people of the city who will be using it, and this is why there are informa-tion meetings at every part of the process. The location is an example of the input from inter-ested dog owners, Washington reveals, saying it was an idea

that came up during consulta-tions. Washington also notes that this is an example of why people need to inform relevant city staff of what they would like to see in Yorkton. While there was a Facebook group that wanted a park, she says that the city was not aware of the desire for a park until recently, and came up with the idea after a confer-ence that highlighted how off-leash parks were catching on elsewhere. “It’s a matter of getting peo-ple to engage in an old fash-ioned way, maybe not electroni-cally.”

In “true co-operative spirit,” Conexus, Cornerstone and Innovation credit unions have announced they are working together to bene-fit members. The three credit unions have launched the FreeStyle No-Fee Account. It’s an account that truly is free, offering unlimited transactions with no monthly service charges,” says Eric Dillon, Conexus CEO. “The credit unions are the first full service financial institu-tions in Saskatchewan to offer this type of an account. “This account and the fact that we are launching it with our co-operative financial partners, reflects the credit union differ-ence.” “The account is for members only and is one of the advantages of being a credit union member,” adds Kevin Lukey, CEO

of Cornerstone Credit Union in Yorkton. “Credit unions are dedicated to our members and commu-nities. We are competitive in the marketplace and focused on doing the right thing for our members; and this collaboration demonstrates that com-mitment.” Lukey adds, “Our mem-bers are our owners; they

are the reason we exist and they are the ones that benefit from this new offering.” Innovation Credit Union’s CEO, Dan Johnson agrees that cred-it union partnerships are invaluable in providing the products and services members deserve.

The project has not yet been approved by council, but will be presented when the plan has been finalized and the extra funding is in place. Those interested in keep-ing track of the project and seeing when the next meeting will take place can visit the Yorkton Parks and Recreation Facebook page for updates.

Life just got a little more interesting for at least two Yorkton residents. “It was a good call to make,” says Donald Tkachuk who recently made a once-in-a-lifetime phone call to his very good friend Roby Sharpe to tell him that they had just won $1 Million on LOTTO 6/49! Tkachuk had just checked a stack of tickets at the Shoppers Drug Mart on 33-277 Broadway St. East in their home-town while running errands. “I felt really good; there were a few $10 and $20 wins – it’s my lucky week!” he says, remembering checking the tick-ets. “Then the screen goes blue and the writing at the bottom says, ‘Major Win’.” Tkachuk and Sharpe’s ticket had matched the Guaranteed Prize Draw winning selection for a $1 Million prize on the Wednesday, February 26 draw. “The clerks behind the counter were really excited,” Tkachuk recalls. After talking to Western Canada Lottery Corporation and leaving the excitement in the store, Tkachuk called

Sharpe. who thought he was joking about the win. “He sounded kind of sad and serious,” Sharpe recalls and when Tkachuk asked what Sharpe would do with his $500,000 share; he dismissed it as a lark. “If there’s one thing I don’t joke about, it’s money,” Tkachuk says. After a few minutes of discussion on the phone it didn’t seem to convince Sharpe so Tkachuk decided that maybe seeing would be believing. He paid a visit to the Sharpe household where he was greeted by Sharpe and his wife. “He was acting all cool, and I asked him, ‘What are you doing here?’ Then he showed me the ticket,” Sharpe says. His wife took a look at the ticket and validation slip. “She said, ‘Oh my God, you won $100,000?’ I told her to look again,” Tkachuk remembers. The long-time friends plan to use their share of the winnings to pay down some debt, help immediate family and Sharpe may fix up a family cabin. The winning Guaranteed Prize Draw Selection was 24478765-03.

LONG TIME FRIENDS and local teachers, Roby Sharpe (left), and Donald Tkachuk are the latest to add their names to the list of lucky Saskatchewan lottery winners. The pair recently walked away with a grand prize of $1 million.

Ballyhooley is a cele-bration of Irish song and dance, and it’s com-ing to the Painted Hand Casino on March 15. Saskatchewan singer Eileen Laverty says the show is bringing togeth-er the Celtic roots of the province’s music scene. The show began last year, when Michael Hughes of Circling Over Shannon and Laverty decided to take on their roots and col-laborate on a show that brought out the best of traditional Irish music. While they had the music down, they real-ized that it would not be complete without dance, a major part of the Irish folk music tra-dition. That meant bringing on the River City Reelin’ Rockettes. The show is a true collaboration, Laverty says, and from the very beginning they were exploring how they could collaborate and bring something new to the other’s repertoire. She says that it’s a con-stantly shifting lineup on stage and off, as the group shifts to best

accompany each song. The goal of the per-formance is to have a good time in the month of St. Patrick’s Day, of course, but Laverty says they wanted to create an experience that expressed the Irish culture in an authentic way. They did not want to do a “Hollywood ver-sion” of Ireland, but to bring the real roots out to people and but on a show that captures an authentic spirit of Ireland. “I thought this would be a great opportunity to showcase authentic Irish music and authen-tic dancing. It had to be genuine,” Laverty says. “People finding these old tunes and sharing them and keeping that tradition alive is very important.” That tradition involves having a good time, and Laverty promises that the eve-ning will show why those traditions have remained popular and vital. “It’s a lively night and the dancers cer-tainly kick it up a notch. We have a lot of fun on stage, and I think if we can have fun on stage too and put on a show

for folks then they should enjoy them-selves for sure.” The show is also going

back to Laverty’s own roots. The Belfast-born singer says that her roots are a big part of

her music, and as she writes and records her own songs they are drawing from the tradi-tional sounds and forms of her roots. “The music speaks to me for sure, I’m very fond of the Irish ballad, the narrative tradition that’s very strong,” Laverty says. “You just have those songs that speak to you on a whole other level.” While this is the first time Ballyhooley has left Saskatoon, Laverty has played in Yorkton before and is excited to get back with the new show, which will be dif-ferent than the solo

tours she has done in the past. She says that the group has known each other for years, and enjoys the opportu-nity to play together, and that the group brings out the best in each other and their music. “To me, nothing com-pares to making music with other people, and having an audience there to enjoy that and feed off that as well. On stage we feed off each other, we push each other, and there’s noth-ing else like it.” Ballyhooley will be at the Painted Hand Casino on March 15.

“Our members are already seeing the tremendous benefits of credit union partnerships through a free ATM network and no-charge branch network. Working with Conexus and Cornerstone to now launch a free account demonstrates our further commitment to rewarding members. We look forward to more partner-ing opportunities in the future.” This program allows any credit union member to walk into a participating branch, as if it was their home branch, and conduct financial transactions at no extra cost.

Credit Union changes

In early December, the Government of Canada introduced a bill intended to stimulate investment and innovation in the agriculture sector. The Agricultural Growth Act, once passed, will give Canadian farmers sharper tools to compete in world markets. It will also increase their access to new crop varieties, enhance trade opportunities and reduce red tape. Included in the bill are changes to the Plant Breeders Rights Act to conform to the 1991 Convention of the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plant (commonly known by its French acronym UPOV). UPOV estab-lished the first Convention in 1961 (UPOV 61). Since then, there have been three revisions. Canada’s present Plant Breeders’ Rights Act is based on the 1978 UPOV Convention (UPOV 78). UPOV 91 contains new elements that provide stronger protection for plant breeders than any pre-vious convention. The changes to the Plant Breeders Rights Act are based on those elements. An effective plant breeders’ rights system should create an environment that encourages and sup-ports the development of new plant varieties. Amending the Act could encourage increased invest-ment in plant breeding. This potentially gives Canadian farmers more access to new and innova-tive plant varieties. In a global marketplace, such

access would allow them to be more competitive. The proposed amendments would not change what Canadian farmers are legally permitted to do with protected plant varieties. If farmers legitimate-ly obtain varieties of protected seed, their liability won’t increase. In other words, if a farmer buys pro-tected seed from someone the breeder has autho-rized to sell it, the breeder will not be able to exer-cise his/her rights on the grain. The UPOV 91amendments would make it possible for Canada to explicitly lay out in the Plant Breeders’ Rights Act that farmers would be allowed to save seed produced from a protected plant variety, and use it for replanting on their own farms. This is known as the “farmers’ privilege” and is currently contained in the Act.

Under Canada’s current Plant Breeders’ Rights Act, a farmer is restricted from buying or selling either pedigreed or common seed, or any other type of propagating material of a protected variety, with-out the breeder’s permission. This would not change under the amended Act. Before our government introduced this bill, con-sultations took place with plant breeders, farmers, horticulturalists, seed dealers and other interested citizens. Their feedback confirmed that Canadian stakeholders generally support the proposed chang-es. In addition, many other groups directly involved with the industry have asked the government to implement the UPOV 91 Convention. These include: · Pulse Canada · Canadian AgriFood Trade Alliance · Canadian Federation of Agriculture · Grain Growers of Canada · Canadian Seed Trade Association · Prairie Oat Growers Association · Western Canadian Wheat Growers · Canadian Canola Growers Association · Canadian Seed Growers Association You can read the Act yourself by searching the Agricultural Growth Act, Bill C-18, at www.parl.gc.ca.

Stay safe – Let’s Talk About it!

It’s high time we stop labelling people and start treating PEOPLE as PEO-PLE – PERIOD. Wether we are black, white, yel-low, red, Hispanic, English, German or Muslim, in the end we are ALL just people – end of story. But sadly, even in today’s day and age, that’s rarely the case. I guess that’s why it bothers me when I hear of stories like this – wether intended or not – that appear to separate or not be all inclusive of certain segments of the population. Most recently I read about a boycott and threats in regards to a big event being planned at Legoland in London, England. Reportedly, a large Muslim group of about 1,000 people – made up of families with children – had booked the facility which includes a hotel for a family fun day. Great! I’m guessing it would be the perfect spot to host such an event. What kid wouldn’t like a day at Legoland? Perfect family atmosphere... So that’s not where the problem arises. Instead of having a “family fun day,” organizers for whatever reason apparently opted to call it “Muslim Fun Day”... And they wonder why they get opposition.... Needless to say, the big day was cancelled amidst threats, nasty phone calls and negative feedback. No

doubt Legoland manage-ment was also left disap-pointed at the loss of a big event. Why, oh WHY then, did they have to choose the name it Muslim Fun Day? Why didn’t Family Fun Day suffice? Or at the very least, why not call it a private family function? Maybe it’s nit picky but there’s just something about the

“Muslim” tag that’s separating and offensive. Would people stand for it if Legoland had announced a “White Fun Day”? I think not. Legoland is regretful and claims misinformation was circulated. “We are appalled at what has occurred, and at the fact that the real losers in this are the many families and children who were looking forward to an enjoyable day out at Legoland,” a company statement said. And that’s true. It’s time to stop with the labels and start with human compassion. Then things like this would be avoided. We are all one in this crazy world, why not accept that and carry on? “Imagine there’s no countries. It isn’t hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for. And no religion too. Imagine all the people, Living life in peace. You may say that I’m a dreamer, But I’m not the only one, I hope some-day you’ll join us... And the world will be as one” – John Lennon ... Imagine that, smart words...

The way I see it...

Over the weekend I was impressed by the work put into the Parkland Outdoor Show and Expo. Most of that was focused on the large, obvious highlights – a great show layout, well chosen speakers and a focused approach to bringing in relevant exhibitors. But those are things you expect to be good, and I would like to highlight something you do not actually expect, that being the parking service. I’ve been going to events at the Gallagher Centre for years, and as soon as they start to get big, the parking starts to get increasingly chaotic, until you reach a point where the lot itself becomes a total mess. You have people who play invent-a-space who make the driving lane increasingly narrow, it’s diffi-cult to tell whether or not a space is actually in a row, and you can’t drive down the lane to actually check, because it goes right to the fence. The further away from the building you get, the more wavy a particular lane becomes, until you have no idea where you actu-ally need to park. It’s not the fault of anyone, just that the lot itself does not have actual lines and for some reason, as soon as lines disappear parking becomes complete chaos. It’s the same reason a gro-cery store lot becomes a similar mess at the first snowfall of the year, without guidance parking becomes a bit of a disaster.

The great thing about having the parking direction is that you have that guidance, a good idea for an event that everyone knew would be big, and would fill rows upon rows with different vehicles, many of which were large and difficult to actually park. The extremely attentive staff made it better, as they were able to find the spot closest to the building, while my instinct at this point is essentially to go to the very back row and hope for the best. I got a much better spot than I would on my own, which made the whole day go better than it would have otherwise. In short, I was impressed before I entered the building, because already people were working to make the

best experience possible. I have heard that people were grousing that they weren’t trusted to park on their own. They miss the point, it’s not about removing independence, but removing hassle. An event like this is going to, inevi-tably, attract a ton of traffic. Some of this traffic will be local, much of it will be from out of town, and whatever rules are in place for the Gallagher Centre’s overflow lot are going to be roundly ignored as people begin to flow in. That happens most of the time a big event takes place, and I’ll admit that the first thought in my mind when I have to attend one of the larger events held there is a certain dread about having to actually park. Knowing this, the fine people behind the Outdoor Show actually took steps to remove that pain, and I was extremely grateful to have that assis-tance when actually parking my vehicle. While one could argue for a more permanently paved and marked out lot, it’s used for many things so I’ll assume that would be impractical. As a gravel lot, it’s not going to get marked spots, because that will not work. But after the extremely pleasant expe-rience actually finding a spot this weekend, I hope more events consider using such attendants, it makes the start of the day go smoother, and puts people inside where you want them faster.

March 9-15 is Agricultural Safety Week in Saskatchewan. And with crop season and har-vests just around the corner it’s the perfect time to remind local producers to “take care out there.” “I encourage all farm owners and managers to discuss safety with anyone who works on or visits the farm,” says Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart. “Farming has the potential to be danger-ous for farmers, workers and their families. By having safety discussions regularly, you can identify safety issues and reduce risk on your farm.” This year’s safety theme “Let’s talk about it!” encourages farm-ers and communities to talk about farm safety. “Planning safety can be diffi-cult to do when there is equip-ment to fix, chores to do and fields to be seeded,” Saskatchewan’s Workplace Safety Minister Don Morgan adds. “It’s important that farmers and workers remember that they are exposed to risks on a daily basis, so they must make safety a priority and safe work practices a habit in their daily activities.” For anyone wanting to access it, a Farm Safety Guide is avail-able online at: www.saskatche-wan.ca/farmsafety. Accidents can be prevented with a greater awareness and understanding. Let’s all do our part to see that this happens to the best of our abilities.

To the Editor:

Healthcare consumes a lot of society’s economic resources – more than 11 per cent of our national GDP in 2012 – accord-ing to the Canadian Institute for Health Information. The money is spent on buying the services of health profes-sionals and running hospitals and other institutions. It also funds capital costs, adminis-tration, research, public health and other activities – as well as prescription drugs. These “inputs” of the system are merely the means to get the best “output,” which is better health for patients. But getting better output is not simply a matter of buy-ing more inputs, especially when economic resources are scarce. A wise use of resources demands that we get the biggest healthcare bang for our buck. We need to know which combination of inputs will most effi ciently achieve our desired health outcomes. To which inputs should we allocate more or less of our scarce resourc-es? Answering this ques-tion requires an economic way of thinking. Yet public discussions about health spending are ob-sessively focused on upfront costs alone – especially when it comes to innovative (or pat-ented) medicines and vaccines. There is little consideration for the downstream benefi ts that innovative medicines deliver. Canadian health policy should refl ect a more comprehensive and economic point of view that considers pharmaceutical costs in the context of all other health spending, and accounts for the societal benefi ts gained from new medicines. Most Canadians would prob-ably be surprised to learn that not only do innovative (patent-ed) medicines account for a very small percentage of total health

spending in Canada, but these costs have grown more slowly than all other health spending combined. A 2013 study published by the Canadian Health Policy In-stitute (CHPI) found that total spending on innovative medi-cines accounted for only 6.2 per cent ($12.8 billion) of the $205.9 billion spent on all healthcare in 2012. The study also showed that from 2007 to 2012, total spending on innovative medi-cines grew by only 4.1 per cent,

while total spending on all other healthcare grew by 30.5 per cent. After adjusting for population changes, spending on innova-tive medicines has actually been declining in Canada. In 2012, per capita spending on innova-tive medicines declined -1.8 per cent since 2007, while per capita spending on all other healthcare grew by 23.2 per cent. Not only are the costs sustain-able, but the relatively little spent overall on new medicines also produces a big return on the investment. Research shows that the societal health and eco-nomic benefi ts from the use of innovative medicines far out-weigh the upfront costs. We have known about the

economic value associated with innovative new medicines for a long time. For example, a 2002 study by Dr. Frank R. Lichten-berg of Columbia University (published by the National Bu-reau of Economic Research), con-fi rmed the net benefi ts (benefi ts minus costs) from pharmaceu-tical innovation. Using data on the entire U.S. population from 1996 to 1998, Lichtenberg found that using newer medicines (re-ducing the average age of drugs used to treat a medical condi-

tion from 15 years to 5.5 years) increased prescrip-tion drug spending by $18, but reduced other medical spending by $129, yield-ing a $111 net reduction in total health spending. The use of newer, inno-vative medicines reduced non-drug expenditures by 7.2 times as much as it in-creased drug spending. More recently, the Con-ference Board of Canada published a study of the health and economic ben-efi ts associated with phar-maceutical spending in Ontario from 2007 to 2012. It found that the benefi ts offset the costs by a 2:1 ra-tio. These benefi ts include reduced demand for other healthcare resources (e.g.

hospitalization, surgeries, and ER visits) and reduced produc-tivity losses as people recover and return to work. This study also found that improving pa-tient adherence to their pre-scribed medicines would further increase these benefi ts. The debate about drug costs in Canada needs to move beyond simple budgetary accounting. Our health system should be de-signed to maximize the net ben-efi ts of innovation. Getting there starts with a better understand-ing of the big picture, and by an economic way of thinking about costs.

To the Editor:

There is a lively environmen-tal debate over the provincial government’s green light to the construction of a smelter near Langham. The broader ques-tion is the unwitting involve-ment of ordinary taxpayers. According to Fortune Min-erals’ Environmental Impact Statement, one advantage of lo-cating the smelter in Saskatch-ewan was the price of energy – 4.879 cents/kilowatt-hour (kWh) plus peak energy demand costs for an overall cost of approxi-mately six cents/kWh. My elec-trical bill for energy and month-ly charges is 14.0 cents/kWh. Based on its most recent An-nual Report, the total 2012 Sask Power expense was $1,715 million and the net energy produced was 19,957 gigawatt-hours for a production cost of 8.6 cents/kWh. It would appear that large corporations get en-ergy at prices far below the cost of production. I appreciate that governments want to create jobs and large energy-consuming projects do create jobs but I would consider it a far greater feat if our gov-ernment would negotiate with all non-renewable energy pro-ducing provinces that none of them would use subsidized non-renewable energy as a means of producing jobs, thus preventing this ‘race to the bottom’. I appreciate that past NDP governments share responsibil-ity for current energy pricing policies but they are not the party that is currently promot-ing the development of huge en-ergy-consuming corporations with what would appear to be taxpayer-subsidized energy rates. Could we now have experts from all points of view have a public discussion about the merits of using subsidized non-renewable energy as an eco-nomic incentive to corporations to site huge energy-consuming facilities within the province.

Canadians deserve much betterTo the Editor: Stephen Harper’s Conservatives have a bad record when it comes to respecting our election laws. Now they want to skew the next election in their favour with voter suppression tac-tics straight out of the U.S. Republican play-book. The so-called “Fair Elections act” will block tens of thousands of students, seniors and low-income Canadians from proving their right to vote by eliminating the long-standing prac-tice of vouching and the expanded use of voter ID cards.

At the same time, it muzzles the Chief Elec-toral Offi cer and bans Elections Canada from even promoting the right to vote. While the bill makes it harder for ordinary Canadians to vote, it will actually make it easier for big-money interests to infl uence

our elections by raising the donation limit to $1,500 and introducing loopholes to party fund-raising spending. Finally, the after widespread voter sup-pression and fraud dur-ing the 2011 election, this long-awaited legis-lation was supposed to offer tools to crack down

on abuse. Instead, Con-servatives refused to enact the most effective measure to enhance investigation—giving Elections Canada the power to compel testi-mony. Canadians deserve better. They deserve genuine electoral re-form to stop fraud, pre-vent big money from distorting elections and ensure every Canadian can exercise their right to vote. Unfortunately, Stephen Harper has given us the opposite.

Angelina Kardynal is driven to create, and a new show at the com-munity pARTners gal-lery showcases the dif-ferent ways which she approaches art and design. Three styles are cur-rently on the display in the show. The first is the most traditional, but also the most per-sonal, with portraits of people in Kardynal’s family. One example is a series of three por-traits of hands, show-ing three generations of women in Kardynal’s family, and the differ-ent ways they create. The second is more experimental, taking recycled and found objects and using them to create new shapes and textures, such as using twine, twigs and old frames in unexpect-ed ways. The third is the most practical, with exam-ples of Kardynal’s graphic design work, which she says is about expressing the needs of the client and what they want to say, rath-er than her personal artistic vision. Putting the exhibit together, Kardynal says that she saw connec-tions between the dif-ferent aspects of her work that she had never considered before, and as a complete show she found unexpected connections between the ways she used material. “When you see them together, you can see how I have a similar style throughout or a similar feel,” Kardynal says. While working with a variety of materials and mediums, one con-

sistent through line with the collection is a need to create things in new and different ways. Kardynal says that she’s always thinking of different approaches and that when materi-als catch her eye, she begins to consider how to use them in a man-ner that is potentially unexpected. “I’ve always liked cre-

ating, drawing and painting and making things.” The show came together at the end of January, and Kardynal says that it was a rush to pull together a com-plete show. She says it’s a mix of new art and older pieces. “I’ve never had a show before, so to have all of my pieces up in

one room, it’s nice and exciting.” There will be an art-ist reception on March 15 at 1:30 p.m., at the community pARTners gallery in the Yorkton Public Library. Everyone is welcome, and Kardynal is excited about meet people and discuss her art. The show itself runs for the month of March.

There are obviously many benefits gained from using the freshest of ingredients possible when cooking, and using the zest from citrus fruits is no exception. Whether you are using limes, lemons, oranges, or grapefruit, the zest from these fruits will not only add an abundance of flavor as an ingredient, but also create a decorative garnish if you choose. I will always remember eating peeled oranges as a child and they still had large pieces of the white part of the peel attached to them and tasted very bitter. This is normal. The pale underside of the peel of any citrus is called the pith. It is always more bitter tasting than the flesh of the fruit or the outer coloured part of the peel, called the zest. There are many ways to include zest as an ingre-dient. A seafood dish, for example, will always ben-efit from the addition of lemon zest. Lemon and seafood are a classic combination. Limes are often used in salsas and Mexican cooking so their zest will also enhance many of these types of recipes. Basically a rule of thumb would be to use zest in any recipe that already has citrus juice as an ingre-dient. This being said, the flavor of an orange chicken stir-fry will taste more complete with addi-tion of orange zest added as an ingredient in the recipe or as a garnish on top of the finished dish. Also zest will compliment many desserts as well. Imagine a piece of spiced pumpkin cake topped with a dollop of whipped cream, delicate curls of bright yellow lemon zest, a vibrant green mint leaf, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. As a garnish, zest will brighten up the appear-ance of the final plating of your recipe, but should almost always be married up with other contrast-ing colours. In the cake example above we paired the yellow lemon zest with a green mint leaf and the warm rusty colour of cinnamon. For the orange chicken stir-fry I mentioned, use the orange zest, but maybe some thin diagonal slices of green onion

as well. Your imagination is your playground in the kitchen and you should experiment as much as pos-sible to bring enjoyment and attractiveness to the table. There are basically three ways to remove zest from citrus fruits. Using a knife is one of them but it is not the most effective way, as you always run more of a risk of removing the bitter white pith as well. You are better off using a micro-plane grater or a zester. Micro-plane graters are the ones being used most on TV cooking shows lately. They are small, long graters with very fine teeth. When placed across the top of a bowl and the citrus fruit is rubbed on it, the bowl will capture the fine gratings of the zest. The downside of using one of these graters is that one always runs the risk of grating too far and get-ting the white bitter pith as well. I find zesters are a much better tool. It is a small handheld tool that has five little circular blades at one end. When it is dragged across a citrus fruit from top to bottom, it produces beautiful curls of zest while leaving the bitter pith behind. The obvi-ous benefit of using a zester is for the long curls that are perfect for garnishing. The downside how-ever, would be that if using zest as an ingredient you would then have a second step of chopping. If you currently do not own either tool, I would recom-

mend buying a zester instead of a grater. The zester is less expensive, gives you garnishing versa-tility and chances are if you are cooking, you already have a knife and cutting board out, so chop-ping the zest for an ingredient is not as much of a chore as you may first think. Whichever tool you choose, please remember that you usually get what you pay for. Don’t expect a zester purchased for one dollar to work very well. Buying premium kitchen tools are an investment into the health and enjoyment of home cooked meals. When taken care of properly they will last you a lifetime and thus be well worth the money you paid.

Dear Chef Dez: What is finely chopped lemon zest? Is it grated lemon rind?

Marvin M.Lomond, AB

Dear Marvin: As explained above, zest is the outer-part of the peel of any citrus fruit – so not the white bitter pith of the peel but the outer coloured part of the peel. This holds a ton of essential oils of the citrus fruit and is screaming with flavour and aroma. In fact it smells more like the fruit than the fruit itself. Use a zester or a fine grater to remove it without remov-ing any of the white bitter part of the peel under-neath (the pith). Chef Dez is a Food Columnist, Culinary Instructor & Cookbook Author.

ALL-TERRAIN DOUBLE CAB SHOWN


century21plus.cacentury21plus.ca Starting this week on a screen near you: The Association of Saskatchewan Regional Col-leges (ASRC) has announced the premiere of College TV – a tele-vision series premiering on City TV Saskatchewan on March 13 (also available for viewing online on the City TV Saskatchewan website). College TV provides an illustrative, real-world ex-ample of the diversity of careers available with training from one

of Saskatchewan’s regional col-leges – including the Parkland College in Yorkton. “This series showcases how training at regional colleges is really responsive to industry need as well as a great opportu-nity to get on a range of exciting career paths,” says ASRC Execu-tive Director Beverly Crossman. College TV hosts Kashlee and Kristin will road trip around Sas-katchewan, taking students on a

tour of all seven of Saskatche-wan’s regional colleges and their surrounding areas. Each episode represents the wide range of pro-grams offered, from nursing to oil fi eld specialists to university courses. “College TV also gives stu-dents the chance to see just what courses are available across the province, see what’s unique about each individual college, and tap into what it’s like to be

a student there,” adds George Tsougrianis, Executive Producer and CEO of Overtime Communi-cation, the Saskatchewan-based production company that cre-ated College TV. “We took the road trip to tour all of the colleges so that students wouldn’t have to... Our colleges really take students from learn-ing to earning over the course of their time here.” For employers, Saskatchewan

Regional Colleges will develop programs to meet an organiza-tion’s needs and to increase pro-ductivity and maintain a com-petitive edge. You can watch College TV on City TV Saskatchewan, online at: www.citytv.com/saskatch-ewan/shows/ or learn more by following the Association of Sas-katchewan Regional Colleges on Facebook at www.facebook.com/SaskColleges.

DEFENDING CHAMPS. Awaiting their first round opponents, the Yorkton Terriers will kick off their quest to repeat as Canalta Cup champs next week as the SJHL Quarterfinals begin. For more SJHL Playoff Preview see Pages 10/12. File Photo

By CHASE RUTTIGN-R Writer

The Yorkton Terriers will have to play the waiting game heading into the week-end as the regular season and defending SJHL champs will face the lowest seed that advances our of the league’s new postseason Wild Card round in the SJHL Quarter-fi nals under the new three division playoff format. One of the Terriers po-tential playoff opponents is known, but there is un-certainty heading into the weekend as the Flin Flon Bombers and Estevan Bru-

ins will play a fi fth game on Thursday night to decide the winner of the #6 vs #10 Wild Card series. If Estevan wins on Thurs-day night the Terriers will play #9 seed Notre Dame in the Quarterfi nals as their Vi-terra Division counterparts beat the Kramer Division’s Nipawin Hawks in four games in an upset to reach the Round of 8 that will be-gin this weekend. Regardless of the Terriers fi rst round opponent they will be heading into things as the odds on favourites to lift the Canalta Cup for a second time. After all the Terriers

one upped their 2012/13 reg-ular season performance by winning the league regular season title six points clear of the rest of the SJHL. In fact the 2013/14 Terriers im-proved in many areas during the regular season compared to their SJHL champion ros-ter. In the scoring department the Terriers had two 60 point scorers in the regular season in Brett Boehm (66 pts) and Tayler Thompson (61 points) who both cracked Top 5 in league scoring. With defenseman Chase Norrish coming in 11th in the league scoring race the

Terriers have three players in the Top 20, something that they didn’t even achieve last year as Nathan Murray came in 25th. While the Ter-riers saw Jeremy Johnson come up in the clutch dur-ing the playoffs and had a balanced scoring team all year in 2013, the addition of Boehm and the improve-ment of Thompson and Nor-rish heading into their fi nal Junior seasons this year’s team will be heading into the playoffs with a lot more front end fi repower than last year’s champs had.

Defending champs look to repeat success


The Yorkton Bantam AA UCT Terriers may not have been able to register back to back two game sweeps in the 2014 Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League playoffs, but the Terriers will take a spot in the SBAAHL Divi-sion Finals after knocking off Moose Jaw and the Mel-ville Millionaires already this month. In the fi rst round of the playoffs the Terriers cast aside the seventh placed Moose Jaw Warriors in a 2-0 sweep in the Best of 3 SBAAHL playoff format, setting up a series with

Highway 10 rivals Melville in the second round. The Millionaires fi nished fi fth in the league and hav-ing more hands on experi-ence with the Terriers would have a higher chance of pulling off a potential upset than the Millionaires, some-thing that the young ban-tams would have to keep in the back of their mind head-ing into a quick one week series where just two losses would end their season. With many players partic-ipating in Parkland Valley’s 2014 Saskatchewan Winter Games gold medal win the familiar teams would not only be playing for a spot in the semifi nals to continue

their season, but also for lo-cal bragging rights amongst the neighbouring cities who have a long standing friend-ly hockey rivalry. Finishing 16 points above Melville in the standings it would be the Terriers who would be outgunned during Game One getting outshot by the Mils 26-17, but goal-tending from Alex Geddes and timely scoring would help the Terriers from fall-ing to the Mils volume of shots on goal. Kaleb Bulych would give the Terriers fi rst blood with a late fi rst period goal, but the Mils would score even later as Colby Holloway’s goal with thirty seconds left

in the period would keep the score equal after 20 minutes despite a late fl urry of of-fense in a fi nal three min-utes that produced a goal apiece. Melville would take their late goal to tie things up in the fi rst and use that mo-mentum to shock the Terri-ers with a go-ahead goal at the Farrell Agencies Arena as Rin Beny would make it 2-1 to the Millionaires. Getting outshot and down a goal it appeared as if the young Terriers were about to drop a crucial fi rst game with 6:45 left in the second period and trailing Melville.

Kale Thomson has also stepped up in between the pipes for the Terriers, taking advantage of a veteran defense that eventually made up for the depar-tures of former WHL talents Austin Bourhis and John Neibrandt to become equally as stin-gy in the back as the year before. Thomson went from losing his starting job to current Regina Pats goaltender Dawson MacAuley dur-ing the stretch last year to becoming a record setter, becoming the all-time leader in single season shutouts with eight. If Thomson can remain consistent in the playoffs as he was as the Terriers work-horse during the regu-lar season the Terriers should have the quality in net once again to make the deep playoff run they are expected to make. The 2013/14 playoffs will also serve as a last hurrah for several long term faces on the Terriers roster. Captain Devon McMullen, who has been on two Terriers

teams that have played in a league final is in his last season as are; Tayler Thompson, Kale Thomson, Tyler Giebel, Derek Falloon, Chase/Brady Norrish and Brett Boehm amongst a long list of 1993 born players. That amount of players putting their Junior careers on the line should make for a hungry and focused locker room that should be prepared to step up to the challenge of hav-ing the highest expec-tations heading into March. Regardless of who the Terriers will face in the first roumd, or for any round in their quest for a league title they will have the pressure of expecting to win. After all the Terriers won the league in six games last year and finished first in the league after returning much of their core. What makes them a strong team will bring the pressure of being expected to win as the Terriers will have the target on their back from day one in this year’s run during the playoffs. Last year the Terriers were just

another team looking to win the title, this spring the story will be different as they will have the championship experience, but also the championship target on their back in addition to being expected to make a run not just to the league title, but to potentially the Royal Bank Cup. For now the Terriers still don’t know their playoff future, or their first round opponent. Many will peg them to win the Canalta Cup for the second straight time, but upsetting the defending champions Humboldt last year the Terriers will know just how hard it is to lift the trophy and saw first hand how hard you have to fight to win it for the second time. Head coach Trent Cassan and a group of players that will be potentially playing their last games as Juniors will be hoping to use their champion-ship experience to a second straight league title. If only they could find out who they were playing in the quarter-finals......

Terriers playoff preview

March is an extremely busy time for me. From covering the start of the Junior hockey playoffs and all of the minor hockey title races I have time for, there is the NHL Trade Deadline, NFL Free Agency, col-lege basketball’s post-season, MLB Spring Training and even the Champions League for soccer. There is a lot of ground to cover for a sports fan which is why the rapid fi re rants make a triumphant re-turn after an Olympics break. Here we go..

Goalie trades save NHL Trade Deadline

The two trades that saved the 2014 NHL Trade Deadline from being just another bor-ing year of meaningless trade action actually happened before the actual daylong trade deadline that has been beaten to death by TSN and Sportsnet as they try to pass of nearly 16 hours of studio coverage as a marquee event. The St. Louis Blues move to bring in Buffalo Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller to improve their goaltending and make the Blues title chances even more likely was the biggest move of the deadline as the already defensively sound Blues

may have just found the elite goalie they need to get them over the hump while Miller will fi nally get to leave the purga-tory of Buffalo and have a chance to win for the fi rst time in a long while after once being one of the NHL’s bright young stars while Buf-falo was still respect-able. Meanwhile in Van-couver the Canucks de-cided to offl oad highly paid goalie Roberto Luongo to Florida in an attempt to shed cap space for a much need-ed rebuild. Many have ridiculed the Canucks for offl oading Roberto Luongo and Cory Sch-neider in a short span for low returns, but the moves at the NHL Trade Deadline speak to the new era of the NHL where highly priced goaltending may be a thing of the past. The best goalten-der in the NHL rare-ly lifts the Stanley Cup at the end of the season and in the sala-ry cap era every million counts. If the Canucks didn’t want to overpay for a goaltender during their process of rebuild-ing Luongo had to go. Canucks fans every-where will just hope that youngster Eddie Lack can answer the bell until the end of

what is turning out to be a nightmare season in Vancouver.

Blue Jays back to boring heading into

2014 Spring training is alive and well, but you might not know it based on the lack of ex-citement surrounding Canada’s team as the Toronto Blue Jays hype train from their owners Rogers has been set to a more reasonable vol-ume this March. After splashing on big name free agents and failing in 2013, the Jays aren’t expected to do much of anything in the 2014 season other than the typical Jays perfor-mance. They have some solid players, but lack the depth of the teams that will be vyying for the AL East playoff spots come the fall. That doesn’t mean

you still shouldn’t be ex-cited for the Blue Jays season. Jose Bautista is still one of the best hit-ters in baseball, and you never know what might happen along the way. Having no expectations almost might be better for the average Jays fan who will just be glad that this year nobody is getting their hopes up with the promises of playoffs and contending for the World Series. After last year’s debacle many simply just want to enjoy baseball again. Being the underdog will help that cause.

NFL Free Agency sees Broncos load up for redemption Day One of NFL Free Agency has came and went with the Denver Broncos surprisingly affording the best haul as the seemingly cash strapped Broncos found

the salary cap fl exibil-ity to afford two of the best defensive backs available in TJ Ward and Aqib Talib. With rumblings that the Broncos will also land a defensive end it is clear that veteran NFL players are will-ing to take a slight pay-cut to win a Super Bowl with Peyton Manning before his champion-ship window closes. The Broncos are also very willing to mort-gage the next few years on the ability to win a title before Manning needs to retire. The last quarterback of Man-ning’s age to win the Super Bowl was cur-rent Broncos front offi ce executive John Elway and that was nearly 20 years ago. Denver is playing a risky game bankrolling their sal-ary cap future on the next two years. Expect a mass exodus of play-ers when Manning does retire in Denver, so my advice to Broncos fans is enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Canada basketball talent again ready to invade March Mad-ness

It is becoming a new tradition to talk about the amount of Cana-dians that will be key fi gures in March’s marquee spoting event when the NCAA Tour-nament tips off next Thursday for another year. As fans fi ll their brackets they will be having trouble fi nding a bandwagon to jump on as there is a massive list of schools that will have Canadian content to enjoy in the tourna-

ment. From Big Ten cham-pions Michigan who have guard Nik Staus-kas, Kansas’ Andrew Wiggins, Iowa State’s Melvin Ejim, Arizona State’s Jordan Bachyn-ski and many many more there is no short-age of new heroes from the Great White North for fans of the game to follow as they look to reach the Final Four and advance through the most entertaining playoff format in sports as the 64 best schools in the NCAA play in a one game knockout brack-et. Last year there were well over 20 Canadi-ans in the tournament, that number will in-crease this year as will the quality of talent. With Canada having the number one draft pick in the 2013 NBA Draft in Anthony Ben-nett and many more stars in the making still in the college ranks things are looking good for Team Canada to be one of the major play-ers in the 2016 Olym-pics should the NBA send its players. For a generation of basketball fans who grew up on Vince Cart-er and the Toronto Raptors or the Van-couver Grizzlies for the older crowd, seeing the growth of the game ex-plode with more Cana-dian talent out there is a testament to how the sport has been received here. No longer is Steve Nash the only Cana-dian icon for basket-ball. March Madness is ready to be enjoyed and Canada will be apart of the storyline.

After being the third on Canada’s first Gold medal winning women’s curling team since the 1998 Nagano Winter Games, Olympic cham-pion Kaitlyn Lawes vis-ited Yorkton on part of her tour with Canadian Tire to take pictures and autographs with the fans of Yorkton as well as to talk about her Olympic experienc-es with the city. Lawes says that the post-Sochi experience has been a surreal one. “I don’t know if it will ever sink in, it has been a crazy experience and to refer to myself as an Olympic Gold medalist will never sink in,” says Lawes. She also mentioned that the support from the Canadians since returning home has been a surprise. “Everyone who notices you is quick to congrat-ulate us and it is just special to enjoy in this Canadian moment in a country that loves the game of curling.” During the Olympic games Lawes says that the support of the

Canadians on social media and the feeling of the Canadian sup-port helped push them to Gold and has moti-vated her to share the moment with those across the country. “While we were in Russia you would get messages of support everyday whether phys-ical messages or through social media showing just how much Canada was behind us and once I got home seeing the faces of chil-dren holding the gold medal in awe has defi-nitely inspired me to share the moment,” mentions Lawes. Lawes stop in Yorkton came has part of a three stop tour with Goldline Curling and Canadian Tire part of a busy cir-cuit of events since coming home. “It has definitely been pretty busy and we have been filled up almost every week with various events and a lot of media,” says Lawes who also says that the added spotlight and love from the country is definitely not a nega-tive. “It is nice to see just how big of a deal us

winning Gold has been and how proud the country has been and we never quite expected it to blow up like it has been so this has been amazing,” says Lawes. As part of her tour Lawes says that she loves to share her medal with the Canadian fans. “People love to see the medal and I enjoy see-ing the joy in the faces of Canadians who get to enjoy seeing the medal so seeing their faces and their pride taking a picture with it so I love to share the medal and I always bring it with me to share with the Canadians.” Talking about her Olympic experiences, Lawes mentioned that some of the best parts of being at Sochi involved getting to be around all of the ath-letes at the games and attend different events. “Being at the Olympics you are surrounded by your country’s athletes as well as the best ath-letes in the world at what they do so feeding off that vibe was an experience I will never forget.” Lawes also made sure

to mention winning with her teammates as one of the special parts of he whole Olympic ride. “Getting to win the Gold with some of the

best curlers in the coun-try including someone who is as accomplished and as talented as Jennifer Jones was amazing and I will never forget getting to

share that moment with that rink and my teammates in repre-senting our country to a Gold medal so every-thing has just been so special for me.”

Cont. from Page 9 The Terriers had other ideas as they scored three unanswered goals to grab the win. Keanan Sperling tied the game before the end of the second period while Derrick Budz got the game winning goal before Carson Miller’s empty netter would ace an important home win to start the series off on schedule for Yorkton who did not want to have to travel to Melville in an elimination game after a Game One loss. In Game Two the Millionaires would switch their goaltender to Dylan Sies and the move would turn out to pay off major dividends as a hot Sies would make 54 saves in what turned out to be a classic playoff meeting between the two Bantam clubs as the Millionaires playing for their playoff lives pushed the Terriers to their limits on home ice. After a scoreless first peri-

od the powerplay would open up the scoring as the Millionaires earned the first goal of the night by the way of Jordan Mish following a Bulych high stick. Yorkton would then respond with two straight powerplay goals of their own from Carson Welke and Budz to give the Terriers a 2-1 lead. Carson Miller would score late on in the second period to extend the Terriers lead to 3-1, with less than 25 min-utes left for the Millionaires to come back it appeared as if Yorkton would be on its way to two sweeps in a row to start the 2014 playoffs. However the underdog Melville team had other ideas. Colby Holloway would score on the powerplay with just over 90 seconds left in the second period before Connor Baber scored the game tying goal in the third period to send the game into overtime for the first time in the series. The two teams would play

for over 40 minutes with the Terriers outshooting the Mils 24-8, but in the end the hosts would get their moment of glory as Melville would take Game Two off of a Carson Sass game winning goal after an instant classic where the Millionaires came back and staved off elimina-tion after going down 3-1 to one of the title contenders in Yorkton. In Game Three back in Yorkton on Saturday night the Terriers would show no interest in continuing to let the underdog Millionaires to hang around. After both teams tired themselves out during their triple overtime thriller, it would be Yorkton whose speed and athleticism made the difference in the final game of the series as the Terriers blew the Mils out of the water in an 8-2 rout to advance to the Division Finals. Seven different goalscor-ers contributed in the Yorkton win, Carson Welke would finish as the only

multi-goalscorer for the Terriers in the win with two tallys to his name. The UCT Terriers will now turn their focus on their South Division Final against the Prairie Storm, a battle that will pit the first place Prairie Storm up against the Terriers in a battle of the two best teams in the league during the regular season by terms of total points. Balgonie’s Prairie Storm finished with 58 points and just two losses on the season while the Terriers did equal-ly well with just five losses and one tie during their 51 point season. Where the Terriers lack an edge in the regular season points depart-ment they make up for by holding an edge in goal dif-ferential as the Terriers +129 differential overshadows the equally as talented Prairie Storm’s +103 differential. In the final the Terriers will need to rely on their high end scorers in Carson Welke, Carson Miller and Kaedan Traphorn as the

Prairie Storm allowed just 50 goals all season, 1.6 goals per game. Yorkton scored 6.8 goals per game during the regular season so this battle could become one that pits high end offense against high end defense. Yorkton will be coming into the series as rare under-dogs as the season series was swept by the Storm. All the way back in December they won games over the Terriers 2-0 and 3-2 to earn the season sweep, but both teams will likely know that a lot has changed since before Christmas and this should be a hard fought series between two teams that may think that a win in the South Final could mean a likely SBAAHL championship. The series action will start Thursday as the Terriers travel as visitors for Game One before hosting Game Two on Sunday. If there a deciding third game is need-ed the two teams will play the following Friday back in Balgonie.

After the Wild Card round matchups gave SJHL fans a taste of play-off action last week it is time for the main attrac-tion as the SJHL Quarterfinals start this weekend. With North Battlefords and Yorkton awaiting their first round opponents based on the result of Thursday’s Game 5 between Flin Flon and Estevan two of the quar-terfinal matchups have been set since the end of the regular season. #7 seed Melfort will take on defending North Division champions Humboldt as the Broncos take on the Mustangs in one of the quarterfinals while the #3 seed Kindersley Klippers will take on the #4 seed Melville Millionaires. Here is what you need to know about the SJHL’s quarterfinal matchups, along with a prediction of who should come out on top for entertainment purposes.

#1 Yorkton Vs. Lowest Wild Card Seed (Notre Dame/Flin Flon)

The Terriers will get to play either the Notre Dame Hounds or the Flin Flon Bombers should Flin Flon complete their improbable upset of the Bruins after discarding star forward Brett Boehm in a trade to Yorkton and star goaltender Devin Buffalo to the AJHL. If the Bombers lose the Terriers will simply just play another team they owned during the regular season in the Hounds.

Because of travel purpos-es I assume the Terriers will hope to draw the Hounds, but either of the two potential opponents will be in tough to even win a game against the in-form Terriers on a week’s rest.

Season Series Edge: Yorkton

Scoring Edge: Yorkton

Defensive Edge: Yorkton

Goaltending Edge: Yorkton

Prediction: Yorkton in a four game sweep

#2 Battlefords North Stars Vs. Second Lowest Wild Card Seed (Estevan/Notre Dame)

Battlefords will be hoping that the Bombers can upset Estevan on the road Thursday as the North Stars would be in tough against the Bruins who have scoring weapon Austin Daae and a history of winning against the Stars this season.

If the Bruins lose the North Stars should be able to walk through the Hounds, but they could be on upset alert against the streaky Bruins.

Season Series Edge: TBD

Scoring Edge: TBD

Defensive Edge: TBD

Goaltending Edge: TBD

Prediction: Stars in six games over Estevan, Stars in five over Notre Dame

#5 Humboldt Broncos Vs. #7 Melfort Mustangs

Humboldt dropped off after two straight years as the class of the SJHL, finishing third in a tough Sherwood Division the Broncos should still be favorites over the Melfort Mustangs who despite winning the Kramer Division have five less wins than the Broncos. If rookie sensation Ryland Pashovitz can continue to fill Matt Hrynkiw’s shoes in goal for the Broncos and enough of their new faces can step up in the postseason they should be

able to outlast Melfort.

Losing their last three games against the Mustangs during a terri-ble second half of the sea-son will give the Broncos some fear of the upset in this #5 against #7 series that could go either way.

Season Series Edge: Tied

Scoring Edge: Melfort

Defensive Edge:

Humboldt

Goaltending Edge: Humboldt

Prediction: Humboldt in seven games

#3 Kindersley Klippers Vs. #4 Melville Millionaires

After battling neck and neck with the Terriers for the Viterra Division title the Millionaires fell out of first place and home ice

advantage down the stretch. That will be a letdown for head coach Jaime Fiesel who will now have to take a young inex-perienced team on the road and not in the Mils brand new barn that has one of the best home ice advantages in the league. Kindersley and Melville are nearly dead even in terms of regular season points and goal differen-tial so this series could be the best of the quarterfi-nal bench, at the cost of

the nerves of both fan-bases as well as the play-ers and coaches.

Season Series Edge:Tied

Scoring Edge: Melville

Defensive Edge:Kindersley

Goaltending Edge:Tied

Series Prediction: Milsin six games.

The Yorkton United Girls Under 18/16 team competed in the Division 1 Under 18 Provincial Soccer Championships in Saskatoon on March 7-9. This is the first time com-peting in the Division 1 Provincial Championships for this squad after win-ning four straight Division 2 Provincial Champion-ships. The first game of the round robin was against the number one ranked Regina QCT squad. This game was a back and forth affair that saw Kendra Varjassy open the scoring of the game. QCT quickly responded and tied the game up at 1-1. Rita Fetsch scored back to back goals to give Yorkton a 3-1 half time lead. The second half belonged to QCT as they scored 4 straight goals to take a 5-3 lead. Rita Fetsch

added her third goal of the game late to make the final score 5-4 for QCT. The second game of the round robin saw Yorkton taking on Saskatoon Aurora. Once again Yorkton opened the scor-ing with Allison Berge finding the twine. Lauren Maier, Kendra Varjassy and Rita Fetsch with three goals extend the lead to 6 -0 , with the final score ending up 6-1 for Yorkton. The next game was against Saskatoon Eastside. This game saw the goal tending debut of Caleigh Grunert as start-ing goal tender Kristen Jonassen suffered an injury in games one and two which would prevent her from being able to play keeper. This game started out much like the previous games with Yorkton opening the scor-ing on a goal by Rita Fetsch. Fetsch would go

on to add three more goals with Kristen Jonassen adding a single marker for a final score of 5-1 for Yorkton. The fourth and final round robin game against Regina Unidad would determine if Yorkton would qualify for the final. This game started out quickly once again for Yorkton with Kendra Varjassy scoring 2 quick goals to start the game. Rita Fesch would add 3 more goals with Allison Berge chipping in with a single. Combined with the con-tinued stingy defense and goal tending from the Yorkton defenders Yorkton would go on to win this game 6-1 and find themselves in a rematch with Regina QCT for the Provincial Championship. The final would see the top two teams square off against each other in a

rematch of the first round robin game. This time Regina QCT was able to get off to a quick start with two goals before Rita Fetsch was able to cut the lead in half just before half time. The second half started out much like

the first half with QCT scoring two quick goals to take a commanding 4-1 lead. Rita Fetsch added a second goal on a penalty kick late in the second half to make the final score 4-2 for Regina QCT. Winning the silver

medal in Division 1 for this Yorkton club is a great achievement for each and every player, and was the culmination of the many hours of training and practice put in by the players and coaches.
