Transportation study looks at local needs

What will the roads surrounding Yorkton look like in the future? The city is looking to answer that question, with a Yorkton Regional Transportation Study, done in cooperation with the Ministry of Highways, City of

Yorkton, RM of Wallace and RM of Orkney. An open house hosted at the Gallagher Centre saw a big crowd come to see what the plans are and have their input into the process.

Monique Kealey, Senior Transportation Engineer with Associated Engineering (Sask) Ltd. says that the

study is designed to see what the city needs to take into account in order to handle expected growth in the next twen-ty years. The study will be looking at how road-ways will have to be developed in order to meet the needs of the city.

“For example, if peo-ple feel that highway 16

through the city is some-thing they don’t want to continue to have, they might say let’s build a new highway 16. Where should it be then? Should it be a freeway style bypass or should it be more of an industrial road that gives good access to adjacent prop-erties? To create a dialog and get the opinions of

local businesses and res-idents on what transpor-tation systems and road-ways are needed for future growth.”

Doing the planning now is critical, because without a clear trans-portation in place it could be a case where the land needed for future transportation development could wind

up getting used.“What you don’t want

is to have developmentuse up all the land, with-out having a plan andorganizing all the spaceto know where the roadis going to go, becausewe need to protect theland from being devel-oped.”

“Every time I do something for GX94 it rains,” was how Raymore’s Amy McDade began her set at the Star Search finals. When she won Star Search, it poured.

“Every single quar-ter-finals, semi-finals and finals I have done, it has rained, and it has been a shame but I’ve always gotten through it.”

McDade has been competing in Star Search for three years, and is grateful that she has had the opportunity to be a part of it.

“I’ve worked so hard to win something like this.”

There have been ups and downs in McDade’s Star Search experience, but she says that she is glad she didn’t get dis-couraged during the pro-cess and continued to try.

“It’s definitely been

crushing sometimes when you don’t get your name called, but you have to have that deter-mination and that moti-vation for something you have worked so hard for, you’ve got to keep com-ing back and you’ve got to keep trying your hard-est because one day it will pay off, and this was my day and I’m so glad I worked so hard for this.”

She hopes that the other seven women who competed in this year’s Star Search finals keep

singing, because she believes it was a strong crowd of singers and one filled with potential win-ners.

“I was with my friend the whole time, and was like “oh my gosh she’s amazing, she’s amazing, I’m not going to win.” Everyone’s just amazing and I want them all to come back next year, because they will all win sometime.”

One of the big parts of the Star Search prize is the chance to record original music and get radio play. She already has plans for the origi-nal songs she’s going to record, but she’s keeping her plans close to her chest, saying that she wants to make her origi-nal songs a surprise.

It’s encouraging that the city and the local RMs are working together on the study, Kealey says, and it’s a nec-essary step because the RMs will be affected by any plans and need to have their concerns at the table,

“It’s fabulous that everyone wants to work together. It’s really critical to have a common vision because typi-cally roads like this are serving every-one. There’s highway traffic that’s going through the city and not bene-fitting anyone locally, there’s a lot of Yorkton-destined traffic and the RMs also use the city centre as a service centre so they’re doing a lot of traffic back and forth to Yorkton. Realistically, any new highways, if that’s what is needed, might need to go through the RMs so it’s important for the RMs to participate, and say hey, there is this or that environmen-tal reserve or other land feature that we want you to work around, or we have our own growth plans.”

Dale Rhinas, Reeve of the RM of Orkney, says any plans for a bypass to deal with increased truck traffic are going to affect the RM of Orkney heavily, so they’re glad to see commu-nity members have a strong interest in whatever road plans will be devel-oped.

Bob Maloney, Yorkton Mayor, views it as an opportunity to get everyone together to see what the sta-tus is on the traffic in the city. He notes that in the city’s own studies, they were surprised by the level of

traffic going through, and believes it’s just going to increase, especially truck traffic.

“It’s hundreds of trucks a day, and that kind of movement wears and tears at your highway structure. It’s important to rebuild that, to have routes around the city, and try when you can to separate trucks from smaller traffic.”

The hope is also to get the province to see just how much traffic is going through the city and how serious both the city and RMs are about working on transportation in the city and work on the local roads and high-ways.

Sid Wonitowy, councillor for the RM of Wallace, says it’s clear there’s a need to accommodate the increasing truck traffic going through the city. He says that developing a bypass would be good for the city and good for the trucks.

“It’s pretty important to get your transportation routes in place so they are going to meet the needs of indus-try that is going to invest, either out-side in the RMs or in the city. For those trucks, getting goods transport-ed in and out, it’s pretty important to have a good transportation system.”

Wonitowy also believes that hav-ing the city and surrounding area on board is going to lead to the best plan for any proposed bypass.

“I think that’s a great thing that we’re working together on it. Everyone puts their heads together and some-where in there we will find a solution to this problem.”


There were high-flying thrills at the fair thanks to the i-Flip Acrobatics Team. The five person crew performed dancing trapeze, and trampoline – including the relatively new trampo-line wall – as well as dive from high above the crowd.

Felix Di Pasquale, leader of the team, says it’s a mix of choreography and a bit of “street style,” playing at trying to impress each other, depend-ing on whether or not it’s a solo by one of the members, as the team tries to impress each other as well as the crowd.

“It makes a better show when you play when your own solo and you improve. This is how we make the show, I think it makes the show better because we’re having fun doing it, and the people can tell we are enjoying ourselves.”

Everyone in the group has a differ-ent background, Di Pasquale says, and they try to incorporate the differ-ent backgrounds of the performers into the show, mixed together with a bit of art and a bit of comedy, to make the strongest performance they can.

The performance takes a lot of training from all team members, and while some people might look at them like they are crazy, Di Pasquale says that they come to understand that the training makes them safe in the end. Still, at least one person can’t get over their natural worry about acrobatics.

“Even then, my mother is still scared for me when she is looking at my show. She’s looking at the floor, sometimes she’s worried for me but

she understands that I train a lot and I’m safe when doing the crazy stuff.”

It’s an international group, with members from Canada, America and

France. Di Pasquale says that’s par-tially because while an international community, the trampoline wall is relatively new, so the community isrelatively small and tight knit. Hesays they often connect online as they have different projects on the go and need more people to get involved.

The crew loved the crowds in Yorkton, and Di Pasquale wants to be come back year after year. Discoveringhow different crowds react is one of the thrills of being a performer, andthey feed off the energy of a crowd as they do their show.

“If you go in Japan, they will watchbut you don’t hear anything, they just wait to the end, you don’t know if they like the show. In America, the people react in the middle of shows, it’s okayto clap and go ‘yeah!’ In Japan it’s dead quiet, and you’re like, are they bored? And you finish the show people give you energy just at the end. It’sreally surprising, it’s fun to have the chance to see the different mentalities as a performer.”

Weather was not always on the side of the Yorkton ExhibitionSummer Fair in 2016, and the acro-batic team was no exception to thisrule, having to cancel some shows,and Di Pasquale having to dig a small drainage ditch in order to get the per-formance area dry enough to enter-tain.

“We are here to perform, we are here to have fun. So an hour and ahalf to get the water away so it can happen.”

Heavy rains might have prevented the actu-al walking tour part of the first of Randy’s Summer Tours of Yorkton, but that didn’t dampen the spirit of a room full of history buffs, eager to learn more about the history of Yorkton.

Presented by Kathy Morrell, the presentation covered two prominent families from Yorkton’s early history, the Patrick family and Harry Bronfman, as well as some of the historic buildings that are scat-tered through the city’s downtown area. Whether inspiring, such as tales of the Dr. Patrick and the Spanish flu epidemic, or legally dubious, with sto-ries of bootlegging in the city, the stories shed light on the city’s early history.

Morrell believes there is a real appetite to learn about the history of the

city, and the crowd that arrived at the event were evidence of this. While many of the heritage buildings within Yorkton are long gone, she points to the people working to save the brick mill as evidence that there’s increasing interest in saving the city’s early history.

Randy Goulden, who has been organizing sev-eral summer tours in the city this summer, says that while part of the tour was rained out, was a good start for the series of tours.

“As we do in Yorkton, we found a way to still do it, and we had a wonder-ful evening of storytell-ing and hearing the his-tory of Yorkton.”

The tour brought out people from B.C. and Colorado who grew up in Yorkton and were down for a visit to come out and learn a bit more about the history of the town where they grew up.

The inspiration for Randy’s Summer Tours was to give people a chance to look at things in the city they might not be aware of, or have oth-erwise not had a chance to experience. She notes that she’s excited to do a relaxing lunch in Sonja Pawliw’s Healing and Meditation Garden – on July 20 at 12 noon at 95 Wellington Ave – and doing a nature walk at the Ravine Ecological Preserve on July 27 at 10:00 a.m. with the Yellowhead Birding Trail Association.

“We’re making what we have available to everyone who lives here or comes to visit.”

They wanted to make tours that free for inter-ested parties, and Goulden says they’re also planning to get out to the city’s long term care facilities to give informa-tion to people who other-wise are unable to get out and enjoy what the city has to offer.

“I look at sharing that information with them but also look at whether they have something which we can add to our self-guided tours.”

Goulden wants to

make the tours a perma-nent fixture in the com-munity, and she wants to find something that will work in winter as well as trying to get a bike tour going for the sake of get-

ting out to more spreadout local landmarks.

The next summer tourwill be on July 14 at 2:00 p.m. with a tour of St.Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church.

Local history shines through the storm

Sports hall of fame takes provincial tourBy DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

The Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame is celebrating 50 years of chronicling the prov-ince’s sporting history. To celebrate, the hall of fame is touring the prov-ince, bringing a selec-tion of artifacts and interactive exhibits to over 70 communities. It made a two day Yorkton stop.

Amber Favreau, sum-mer student with the Sports Hall of Fame, helped plan the tour and was in Yorkton with the travelling exhibit. Every inch of the trailer that the exhibit is in is cov-ered with people and events f rom Saskatchewan’s sport-ing past.

“Everyone in here is from Saskatchewan, so it’s really amazing to see that your Saskatchewan players can make it in big leagues in the United States and in Canada, and go international.”

Favreau believes it’s important for people to know the history of their

province, and sports his-tory is a big part of that.

The goal was to make

a travelling exhibit that would reach people of all ages.

“We had it so wee lit-tle kids could enjoy it with handheld games and pull-out drawers, and we had it so older people in the community could enjoy.”

Taking it out to the community could get a different perspective on the people and events as well, something Favreau experienced with an older attendee in Kamsack.

“A man came in and said I know this person and this person, and I went to school with this person. It was really awesome to see how

excited he was that peo-ple he grew up with real-ly made it and were real-ly successful with theirlives.

Anyone who missed the chance to take in the tour only has to wait until next year, as the Sports Hall of Fame will have a second tour of the province, in celebration of Canada’s 150th anni-versary.

“There were even more things that we wanted to cram in herethat we couldn’t fit in the nooks and crannies, so that will be for next year’s travelling exhibit.”

Nostalgia is an inexplicable force, as people reach back for the warm, fuzzy feelings of their youth whether or not what they are reaching towards was either good or valuable. Everything that happened when you were a kid was great, whether or not it was actually great, so it’s time to start feeling affec-tionate for your youth and do some bizarre things in order to recapture that feeling.

This is crystal clear if you look at a local grocery store this week, as Crystal Pepsi has been intro-duced to the market. Precisely one good thing resulted from the introduction of the original Crystal Pepsi, that being the episode of The Simpsons where Homer got his arm stuck in a soda machine trying to reach “invisible cola,” and it’s probably a good idea to just leave it at that. But time makes memo-ries fade, and we forget that the original Crystal Pepsi wasn’t actually very good tasting, even if you’re an admitted soda addict who has fallen off the wagon, so here it is, in stores for a limited time – namely, in stores until everyone remembers that it’s actually not something anyone wants to drink on purpose.

Nostalgia can also sometimes lead to a lot of inexplicable anger. Take the new Ghostbusters, which substituted an all-female cast for the original all-male one, and which has seen a surprising amount of aggressive vitriol from some corners of the internet. Some of this is clear sexism, there are people who hate women and don’t want a female-lead comedy made out of the franchise. Otherwise, it might just be a case where people are letting nostalgia get into their heads about a favorite film from their childhood. People are invested in Ghostbusters, and part of that is going to be that it was a popular film in their youth, especially in the impressionable age when you start having actual standards and interests when it comes to films. It was a great film if you were a twelve year old, and no matter what it does, the new one is not going to be able to recapture that feeling of being twelve. Which doesn’t mean the new film is bad – early reviews suggest that it’s fine – but that it’s going up against two different groups that are not really interested in seeing the franchise change in any meaningful way. Some of these are terrible people, but others are just people who really don’t want to see anything from their delicately preserved youth change in any meaningful way.

Not all nostalgia is necessarily bad. Some of it is simply a bit strange but otherwise positive, such as how you now have crowds of 30 year olds playing a game designed for children. That’s the case with Pokémon Go, not officially released in Canada but slowly taking over south of the border. It’s catching

on with adults because it’s combining a new idea with something that they loved as a kid. Fond memories of firmly clutching a Game Boy cursing the infestations of stupid Zubats has turned into walking around your neighborhood hoping some-one’s front porch has a Zubat on it.

I am going to argue that Pokémon Go, as an invention, is a great thing. One, it gets people out of the house, and gets people of all ages out of the house at that. It’s an electronic game powered by cell phones, but one that by its very design gets people to get outdoors and looking at the town around them. Sure, there have been negative effects, people using the game to rob people, and there have been unexpected consequences, like the person in Wyoming who found a dead body, but on the whole it’s a game that is designed around get-ting people out of the house and exercising. If find-ing adorable animal creatures is our incentive for doing that, this is fantastic, and something we should happily embrace.

It could really be a great thing for families, as nostalgic parents and excited kids bond over their shared enthusiasm for a game and also happen to take walking tours of their town and region. If the fascination with tiny creatures fades, maybe the families will still get excited to get out into their neighborhoods and walk in nature. Sure, we might not all understand or appreciate the game, but that’s fine, not everyone is going to enjoy everything.

If nothing else, the developers of the game have found a way to use nostalgia to build a cool idea. Given that we’ve also seen nostalgia used to revive a terrible idea and nostalgia used to stir up negative emotions through what sounds like an okay idea, it’s heartening to see that someone, somewhere is try-ing to use humanity’s substantial fondness for its own past to actually do something new, exciting and a bit daring with it. Sure, we could just go around drinking disgusting drinks and complaining that movies aren’t as good as when we were kids, but instead we can go around and look for silly little monsters with our phones and remember our youth, and that’s a good alternative.

Apparently, MP Mauril Belanger wasted a lot of effort and time getting his bill passed that changed the line in the national anthem “all thy sons com-mand” to “all of us command.”

According to at least one member of The Tenors, the BC-based singing quartet, all you have to do is bide your time and, when given the great honour of performing the anthem at a major sporting event, insert your own words.

During the pre-game ceremony for the 87th Major League Baseball All Star Game, tenor Remigio Pereira sang, “We are all brothers and sis-ters/all lives matter to the great” instead of “With glowing hearts we see thee rise/the true north strong and free.” At the same time, he pulled a hast-ily scribbled sign from inside his jacket stating “all lives matter” on one side and “united we stand” on the other.

Never mind that the substituted lyric does not fit and makes little sense, for those of us watching at, it was jolting. However a Canadian might feel about the anthem—there are still issues with it—it is an official national symbol the lyrics for which have been democratically agreed upon by an Act of Parliament after protracted and heated debate.

Imagine how the rest of the vocalists, who were visibly taken aback, felt. What about poor Michael Saunders, the only Canadian playing in the game, standing there uncomfortably on the first baseline for all the world to see?

We found out later how the other singers Clifton Murray, Fraser Walters and Victor Micallef felt when they quickly released a statement a few innings into the game saying they were “shocked and embarrassed” and offering an apology for what they called a “disrespectful and misguided lack of judgment by one member of the group.”

Pereira did not even recant. Instead, he had the audacity to tweet: “I speak for the human race and the lives of all sentient beings.” The arrogance.

But not only was his selfish behaviour an affront and embarrassment to Canada and Canadians, it was an insult to African Americans.

The statement “all lives matter” is a response to the civil rights slogan “black lives matter.”

It presumes that by saying “black lives matter” one is saying other lives do not matter, which at best is a logical fallacy and simply not true. Of course, all lives matter. The point is, in practice, black lives are still valued less than white lives in the United States and are two-and-a-half times more likely to be ended by police.

It also presumes that all lives are equally at risk, which is ridiculous. For whatever progress has been made in race relations in the United States, they still have a major problem with racism both indi-vidualized and systemic. So do we, by the way, before we start feeling all high and mighty.

Not only are black people two-and-a-half times per capita more likely to be killed by police in the U.S., but unarmed black people are statistically five times more likely to be killed by police than unarmed white people.

Most of the explanations for this—for example, the idea that violent crime rates are higher in the black community (true)—have been debunked. One analysis conducted by university researchers in Kentucky and South Carolina even concluded that among people of all races who were fatally shot by police, black people were less likely to have been posing an imminent threat to law enforcement.

Another California study found no correlation at all between violent crime rate and police killings regardless of race.

Coming back to Mr. Pereira and all those who would respond to “black lives matter” with “all lives matter.” Even if well-intentioned, and we have no reason to believe Pereira’s motives were anything but even if his judgment was atrocious, the “all lives matter” response is dismissive of the problem. In order to address a problem, one must first admit there is a problem.

“Black lives matter,” says “there is a problem with blacks being treated inequitably.”

“All lives matter,” says “there is no problem, or, if there is, it affects all races equally.”

Pereira was wrong to change the lyrics of our national anthem to make a personal political state-ment.

The political statement he was trying to make is a misguided one.

And, he did not even have the grace to apologize. To anyone.

To use the obvious baseball analogy, Remigio Pereira struck out.

Things I do with words...

To the Editor:

Saskatchewan has lost its AAA credit rating, according to the Standard and Poor’s bond rating agency.

Saskatchewan’s economy is strong so there’s no need for panic, but this is sad news. A little more than two decades ago, Saskatchewan’s credit rating was on the junk heap. It took years of hard work to get our marks back to the top of the class. Now we’ve slipped, but if we take action now, we can turn it around.

Credit ratings for governments are like credit scores for individuals. People who keep debt low and pay bills on time gen-erally get better mortgage rates. It’s the same for governments and a few years ago Saskatchewan had all but beaten its debt and earned Standard and Poor’s highest credit rating: AAA.

Unfortunately, Saskatchewan hasn’t paid down debt for a few years. Last year, the debt started going up. The budget included $700 million in borrow-ing for infrastructure. Then the oper-ational budget fell into deficit as resource revenues dropped. Standard and Poor’s

issued a warning last October that the combination of continued borrowing and low commodity prices could result in a downgrade.

Since then, resource revenues have been slow to rally and the borrowing has increased.

This year, the operational deficit is $434 million and infrastructure borrow-ing has soared to $1 billion, although the government promised “transformational change” to control spending and promised not to increase spending next year.

Standard and Poor’s has seen enough and dropped Saskatchewan’s credit rat-ing. It projects low resource revenues, although it notes Saskatchewan’s diversi-fied economy means the province is in bet-ter shape than Alberta or Newfoundland. However, it also projects a lot of borrow-ing.

“Saskatchewan will borrow about $4 billion from fiscal 2017 to fiscal 2019,” according to Standard and Poor’s. “We expect total tax-supported debt to increase to $15.4 billion at the end of fiscal 2019.”

Standard and Poor’s also gave Saskatchewan another “negative outlook”

warning which means this may not be the last downgrade.

Ultimately, credit downgrades can lead to higher interest rates on debt and Saskatchewan already spends nearly $300 million on interest charges every year.

Talking about a credit downgrade is about as fun as taking home a bad report card, but we can turn this around.

We can’t control commodity prices, but we can choose what to do with resource revenues. In the past, the province used some of those windfalls to pay down debt. More recently, Saskatchewan has spent the money. Three years ago, the province hired former University of Saskatchewan president Peter McKinnon to make a plan to put resource revenues into a savings account so that we can benefit from the interest for generations. That plan has been gathering dust. It’s time for a sover-eign wealth fund to become a reality.

We can also choose to control spend-ing. The Saskatchewan government has promised not to increase spending next year. This year’s budget actually increased spending by 2 per cent, but if it had held the line, the province would have saved

nearly $300 million.Despite its negative outlook, Standard

and Poor’s took the recent provincial elec-tion as a commitment to fiscal responsibil-ity.

“In our view, [the provincial election result] reflects a broad political consen-sus on fiscal policies to enact structural reforms, pass budgets, and make unpopu-lar decisions, if necessary,” stated the release.

In other words, folks in Saskatchewan know it doesn’t work to keep spending more than we have and we’re willing to do the work to get back on track.

This consensus was obvious during the campaign. The Saskatchewan Party promised to cut millions from healthcare administration. The NDP promised to cut the size of cabinet.

There may be debates on where to trim spending, but there’s consensus that the trimming needs to happen. And it better happen soon or we will keep hearing sad news from Standard and Poor’s.

This falls in the cate-gory of ‘should have mentioned this weeks ago’, but better late than never.

Although amateur astronomy is by its nature a solitary pursuit, pretty much you and your telescope versus the universe, hobbyists still enjoy getting together to exchange knowledge and share their passion with fellow stargazers, and anyone else who will lis-ten.

One such event is the Saskatchewan Summer Star Party (SSSP), this year running August 3rd thru’ 7th, dates chosen to coincide with a dark, moonless sky. This gathering of a few hun-

dred sleep-deprived indi-viduals is held at the Cypress Hil ls Interprovincial Park in the southwest corner of the province. Hosted annually in August by the Regina and Saskatoon Centres of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, it draws amateur astrono-mers mainly from the western provinces, but includes guests from across the country and the US.

At 1460 meters above sea level, the Cypress Hills are the highest ele-vation between the Rockies and Labrador; higher, in fact, than downtown Banff. Historically, their height

makes The Hills one of the best spots in Canada for clear skies in July and August, and appar-ently too high for all but the most intrepid mos-quitoes, that in itself a big drawing card. The park became Canada’s largest Dark Sky Preserve in 2004 (and may still be); stray and excessive light is strictly controlled, making the

night sky exceptionally dark. My first visit there, I actually felt a little disoriented; you can see so many more stars that the familiar star patterns and constella-tions become hard to pick out.

For the duration of the star party, one of the campgrounds becomes a sea of telescopes. Hundreds of astronomers

spend the hours of dark-ness with their eyes on the night skies, and day-light hours attending seminars and lectures. This year, guest lecturers include eclipse expert Jay Anderson, nature and science writer Candace Savage and con-servationist Kenton Lysak speaking to local environmental issues.

While the full SSSP requires advance regis-tration from astrono-mers, the public events are totally open and absolutely free. Educational programs vary from year to year, and are geared to the entire family. They include events such as art shows, daytime solar

observing, laser guided star walks and public viewing nights where you get a chance to view theheavens through a widevariety of telescopes.

If you are a closet astronomer looking for a totally unique park expe-rience, consider timing your vacation to coincide with the annual Saskatchewan Summer Star Party. Or, if youjust have a Friday or Saturday night free, take in the public viewing events and prepare to experience our Land ofLiving Skies as you’ve never seen them before.

Progressive design for the drive to Forward, SK.

My goodness it was fun on social media after the Friday night Saskatchewan Roughriders loss in Edmonton.

I went on one of the more popular social media sites and made one short post; “I get that Chris Jones is sup-posed to be the smart-est man in the province right now, but kick and field goal and live to play another mini game. A great effort wasted by a dunce call.”

I then sat back and watched the fun, occa-sionally chiming into the debate just to stir the pot.

Not surprisingly most of the comments rallied to Jones’ support. The love-fest with the ‘Riders new head coach and gen-eral manager is still in full bloom after all.

Frankly I’m still very much a Jones fan. I’ve seen a lot of very good signs from this team through two games.

Ricky Collins looks to be a deep threat with sure hands, who can be a game changer.

A.C. Leonard is a defensive lineman has tons of upside, as does Jonathan Newsome.

This team should get better as the season pro-gresses as you should expect of a team which underwent massive player turn over in the off season.

But that does not mean Jones should not be taken to task for bad decisions.

I am pleased with

the overall game. Jones’ decision to short kick as early in the fourth quar-ter as he did was great. It caught the Eskimos by surprise.

The early on-side kick is one of those ele-ments of the game which is probably not sided enough, of course mak-ing it a bold choice that worked to perfection.

But let’s remember too, the ‘Riders were out of the game until Joe McKnight fumbled a punt, his second of the night. The fourth quarter fumble was recovered, led to a score, and put the Roughies in a position to eventually get the lead late.

A 15-yard rough-ing passer call against Marcus Howard as he swung his arm at Durant’s head didn’t hurt the ‘Riders’ push in the fourth quarter.

These are the real-ities of football, and are rarely the influence of a coach on either sideline.

Now let’s analyze the last few moments of the game.

Saskatchewan is up three with 13-seconds on the clock.

The Eskimos have arguably the best pass-er in the CFL in Mike Reilly. So the ‘Riders go into a prevent defence, which Reilly picks apart for two quick passes totalling 30-yards, and a field goal for the tie.

How often did I hear people bash for Roughrider boss Corey Chamblin for playing a soft defence late in a

game.Jones got a pass from

most on social media, at least in the discussion I initiated. It does depend on when things happen.

But the soft defence

still left us with a tie, and given how the fourth quarter started, being in a position for points was a win for the ‘Riders.

Then we get to the

point where the ‘Riders are behind in the 5th quarter. The Roughies can kick a ‘gimme’ field goal and live to play another mini game, but instead Jones calls for a

short yardage gamble on third down.

And they failed.That is why you don’t

take a risk.

Jones decision in OT not a sound one

by Calvin Daniels

From the Couch


One of the biggest influences of my career, and what I enjoy the most, is the inspira-tion and interaction of people. To put it sim-ply, we all have taste buds and eat food every-day, so we have a com-mon denominator; we can connect and relate. However, for me, it goes beyond that. Food is life in so many ways, and I find it brings out the best in people and thus gives me a window of opportunity to experi-ence their personalities and what makes them tick.

It is because of this passion I have for people and food that I have become a Culinary Travel Host along with all the other hats I wear. Normally my con-nection with a certain

individual is quite short during a cooking class, book signing, or public appearance, so I truly look forward to spending extended time frames with people. This gives us a chance to broaden our shared passion and our connection with each other.

So many folks first assume that a culinary tour is just about food and cooking classes, but for me and my tours it is much more than that. My travel consultant, Caryn Zimmerman, and I create adventures that take people to an area of the world to not only celebrate and experi-ence cuisine, but also history, art, architec-ture, lifestyle and more. Basically, to sum it up, we go to an area of the world to experience how

they live.With me as their

host, we have already taken people to beautiful and historic Savannah GA and toured the vast and deep-rooted state of Texas. The experiences we have had, and the ones to come, fall well into the realms of bucket list journeys. With the connections that Caryn has in the travel world, and the ones that I have in the culinary world, we create experiences that you could not do for the same price.

Going on a travel vacation with an organ-ized tour has so many benefits. The research has been done for you, all of the most important details have been taken care of, and you get ample time on your own to explore. This along with all of the friend-ships you will form dur-ing the process, makes for an unforgettable holiday and life experi-ence.

Currently we have tours planned for Prince Edward Island this

October (including a meet & greet with Food Network Personality Chef Michael Smith), and a castle, pub, and distil-lery tour of Ireland & Scotland in the summer of 2017. I have also been invited to be a host of a trip to The Netherlands this September. More information can be found on my website for all of these tours.

Whatever way you choose to broaden your gastronomic horizons is a step in the right dir-ection. Even if it is not in your cards to go on a culinary tour, food can be used as a catalyst to enhance people’s lives and enrich relationships in many different ways - and that is never a bad thing. Even if you don’t want your adven-tures to leave the com-

fort of your home, you can live and experience in what seems like end-less cuisines just from your cookbook collectionand resources like the internet.

If you’re in a cook-ing rut, break out of it.Everyone is different andso are our perceptions. Find what inspires you and go after it becausechances are you will becooking and eating foodfor the rest of your life.

Cont. from Page 7A

On the road, if you have to play for the tie, you do it, and in this case they might have still won.

In this case a team as put together from all over as this one, timing plays are going to be questionable, and that was proven.

The decision was just bad. Your short yard-age game in two games has been a disaster. The team has been abysmal for two years, and you are in a position to sal-vage points in the sta-

dium of the Grey Cup champs. Common sense says kick a field goal and survive for another try.

By messing that up a great fourth quarter handed to you by Eskie mistakes is wasted.

Jones got the exact result and number of points that decision was worth — zero.

Now, I’m not sug-gesting the season is over, but Jones gave up a chance at points by a bad decision. He is not infallible. He is not per-fect. He can be wrong, and this proved it.

Next week he might be the hero - he showed signs like the onside kick, but sometimes you push things too far in the attempt to be the smartest man in the sta-dium, and this time he ended up with the dunce cap.

On the broader note of the CFL, we would appear in a time of some level of parity. We’ve seen three games in three weeks go to OT, so that tells much about the closeness.

Some see that as a negative, but I rather like that it is not clear

going into any game who might win.

Saskatchewan is pointless — as noted — but the signs are there that this team is capable of going at least .500, which is what I was hoping for this season.

Hamilton is strug-gling. Jeremiah Masoli may not be the man at

QB, but Zach Collaros should return — cur-rently on the six-game injured list — in time to right the ship in Steeltown.

That said offences are rolling. Trevor Harris is already over a 1,000-yards passing. That is encouraging too.

And of course the

Esks and ‘Riders eclipsed 70 combined points with both QBs having 300-plus yards passing, which in my book is about as good as a football game gets.

It has the early signsof a highly entertaining season, and our ‘Riders should be in the mix by season’s end.

The Government of Saskatchewan has once again proclaimed July 10-16, 2016 as Saskatchewan Parks Week. Parks Week is the perfect time to explore all that Saskatchewan’s provincial parks have to offer.

“ S a s k a t c h e w a n ’ s provincial parks are the jewels of our prov-ince,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty said. “We know that access to recreational oppor-tunities and nature are two things that make the quality of life in Saskatchewan so envi-able. Each of our prov-incial parks offers some-thing special for visitors to discover.”

Provincial parks will be celebrating Parks Week with a variety of activities. Visitors to parks can experience archaeology, astronomy, canoeing, hiking, rope-

making, tipi-building and more. Many partner organizations will visit parks this week as well, including Saskatchewan Express who will per-form in eight different parks.

Visit www.saskparks.net/ParksWeek for a full list of events and activ-ities.

S a s k a t c h e w a n Parks Week caps off on Saturday, July 16 with Canada’s Parks Day. Saskatchewan is proud to join other prov-inces, territories and the Canadian Parks Council in celebrating Canada’s Parks Day. Many parks will have a full day of activities that will be fun for the whole family.

For those in the southwest corner of the province, consider visiting Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park on Saturday, as there will be a celebra-tion recognizing the

25th anniversary of the opening of Goodwin House.

Minister Docherty was in Blackstrap Provincial Park today to kick off Parks Week and officially open a new 63 site campground. This campground was part of a $10 million, four year commitment to improve and upgrade provincial park infrastructure.

Total funding for the provincial parks sys-tem since 2007 is more than $200 million. This funding includes cap-ital expenditures and investment, operational funding, and parks pro-gramming.

New programs are being offered in provin-cial parks such as the Learn to Camp program, Learn to Fish program, and the Cultural Access Pass, which provides newcomers free entry to day-use areas within parks.
