  It took nearly six years and a team of 10 to produce a book that forever immortalizes the dedication and sacrifice of war heroes from Saskatchewan’s Kahkewistahaw First Nation. 
  Amy (Hammie Pearl) Busch decided to enlist in the army during the Second World War in 1943 at the age of 18. Although she was never sent overseas due to her age, she says her efforts on the home front while in the army were worth it because it “freed a man to go overseas.”

  From firebrand Fred Ritter in 1911 to ill-fated Corey Chamblin in 2014, 29 different men have coached the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the post-season.
  They’ve done a fair-to-middling job of it, all things considered — an 80-73-2 playoff record through a century-plus. If you count Grey Cups as your currency, things turn grimmer: Just four of them, with the years burned into Saskatchewan’s collective memory — 1966, 1989, 2007, 2013.

  In the April air, the greenish-yellow gas drifte
