A white-breasted nuthatch clings to a snow-covered branch in Warman as it searches for its breakfast during a cold snap last week.

Nuthatches are agile little birds that often turn upside down and sideways on vertical surfaces as they forage for seeds and insects.

They get their common name from their habit of jamming large nuts and acorns into tree bark, then whacking them with their sharp bill to “hatch” out the seed from the inside.

‘MyStop’ tracks school bus location through GPS

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Bus drivers with the Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) have been enjoying the benefits of GPS technology as they travel their routes since it was implemented in 2014.

Now the school division has initiated a pilot project called “MyStop,” which allows parents to track the progress of the school bus as it nears their house.

“The MyStop program is being piloted in two schools right now which provides parents/students with details on the anticipated arrival time of the bus to their stop,” said Brenda Erickson, PSSD communications consultant.

The two schools participating in the pilot are Dundurn School and Hanley Composite School. School trustees heard an update on GPS bus functionality as well as MyStop as part of a Transportation Strategic Directions Update, at their board meeting on January 11.

The pilot project will assist PSSD in evaluating the usefulness and benefits of MyStop. It will garner feedback from parents about the program and determine the best method of providing families with their specific stop information, according to Erickson.

“As well, we need to determine if the technology works in the various areas as it uses cell phone towers

tures dip into the major minuses and the risk of wind chill becomes a factor, the potential benefits of MyStop are heart-warming. Parents will be able to gauge when

James Shields, Chief Financial Officer for PSSD said they anticipate that the majority of the time it will be the students who will be the ones using MyStop.

The goal of the pilot project is to uncover a process that is as seamless to administer as possible, Erickson said. It will help PSSD identify what resources they need to facilitate a timely process. So far, parents have reported a bit of lag time on MyStop which the school division is working on.

PSSD anticipates being ready to implement the program for all students by the end of this school year, or the start of the next school

year, in September 2016.

The transportation update also included a look at the school bus GPS system. Bus movements are tracked on a map in real time. If a parent phones and says, ‘you didn’t come to my house,’ PSSD can see if this bus has been there or not. While their GPS system isn’t exactly like navigation systems used in individual vehicles, it will tell drivers what their next stop is and how far.

If a driver has a mechanical issue, service technicians can bring up the onboard computer to conduct a diagnostic analysis. If children are on board, the ability to locate the bus in such a situation can become a critical safety issue.

KEEPING THE HOME FIRES BURNING Local non-profit group prepares for ownership of Langham Care Home

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The Langham Care Home is transitioning from a privately-owned facility to one that will be owned and operated by a locally-based charitable, non-profit organization.

But the 28 elderly residents of the home and the 50 staff members won’t notice any difference in the dayto-day operations when the new arrangement kicks in on April 1.

“We’re undertaking a whole lot of work to make a whole of changes so that everything stays the same,” said Conrad Jantzen, administrator of the Langham Senior Citizens Home, soon to be known as the Langham Care Home. “The residents will still be able to call this their home, and the staff will still have their jobs. We don’t anticipate any changes.”

In fact, about the only visible difference will be the formal title of the facility, and it’s been informally known by that name for many years anyway, noted Jantzen in an interview on Thursday, January 7.

One less-visible difference will be an enhanced level of community involvement in the care home, a facility which not only provides a much-needed service but is also the town’s biggest employer.

“The transition process has really opened a door of opportunity for us to have a local, community-based group take over the organizational structure of the home and move it forward under charitable, non-prof-

it status,” said Jantzen.

“Under the current ownership structure, which is private ownership, that was not possible.”

Jantzen said the transition process began about a year and a half ago. An agreement was reached in 2015 between the current owners and the recently-formed Langham Care Home Incorporated (LCHI) group to transfer ownership of the home.

April 1, 2016 has been set as the target date for the new ownership group to take over.

Jantzen and the LCHI group have established bylaws for the new organization and applied to the province for non-profit status for LCHI. They have also applied to the federal government for charitable status.

Over the next few months, the new ownership group is inviting individuals and organizations in Langham and area to become involved as members and investors.

“We are reaching out to local businesses, community organizations and churches to become organizational members, so that we have a good foundational structure,” said Jantzen. “We want this home to be around for many years to come, and having the involvement of organizations that are strongly rooted in this community is really important when it comes to making up the care home’s board of directors.”

The history of the facility stretches back several decades. Originally a private care home, it underwent a major expansion in the ear-

The Langham Care Home is transitioning to a community-owned and operated facility ly 1970s to its current capacity of 28 beds. The facility was purchased in 1986 by the present owners. In the early 1990s, all 28 beds were classified as long-term care beds. During the ensuing years, some beds were transitioned back to private care beds, putting the Langham Care Home in a unique position of being able to accommodate residents with differing levels of needs in the same room. This has been particularly welcomed by married couples, who otherwise would have been obliged to live in separate accommodations.

While it was originally established as a for-profit business venture, it is essentially run as a not-for-profit operation at present, and will move forward as a nonprofit, charitable organization, noted Jantzen.

“The current owners have basically considered it a philanthropic venture for many years, but they’re looking to move to a new arrangement now,” he said.

“They’ve been very generous and supportive of this community initiative.”

Jantzen said in the process of setting up the new non-profit corporation, he’s consulted extensively with other nursing homes in the Saskatoon Health Region.

“They have all been very supportive and helpful,” he said. “What sets this home apart from most of the others is that they were established by, and are operated by, church organizations.

“We have carefully thought that through and have opted to lean more heavily on a broad base of community organizations and individual members, because this is a very community-oriented facility and we want to maintain that character. Also, it’s a big commitment for any one organization such as a church, or even the town itself, to take on in addition to their existing responsibilities. We already have strong participation from many denominations and we want to

Once the ownership transition is completed, the new

board of directors will explore options for the future of the home, said Jantzen.

MCC sponsor groups step up to help Syrian refugees

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Private sponsorship groups through the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) in Saskatchewan are responding admirably to the Syrian refugee crisis.

Groups are coming forward to meet the increased demand for refugee placement. The MCC has been facilitating refugee sponsors since 1979, so this is nothing new for the relief organization.

“We have a long history of being involved in refugee sponsorship,” said Leona Lortie, communications associate with MCC in Saskatoon. “We used to do a good number of them annually but in the last couple of years it had really dropped off.”

These days they typically do about four to five sponsorships a year with different church or community groups. But with the Syrian

refugee crisis, that number has really jumped up.

“So far, just since September, we’ve had over 20 groups come forward,” said Lortie. The actual number is somewhere between 20 and 25, depending on where the group is at in the actual process of being committed to sponsorship.

“It’s quite the increase and the community has responded really well and is very compassionate and wants to be involved. It’s really encouraging for us to see how Saskatoon and Saskatchewan have stepped up, and we’re just one of the organizations,” said Lortie.

Sponsorship involves a year-long commitment which begins by meeting the family at the airport. It extends to many practical elements of adjusting to life in Canada, from getting groceries, finding housing and home furnishings, access to language training, help

with finances, navigating the health care system and working through children sometimes, to help parents get used to Canadian society.

With MCC, sponsorship consists of a church or community group of five individuals who commit to raise or pull together the funds.

Each group also offers their refugee family friendship and emotional support.

“While the legal sponsorship lasts a year, the relationships that are formed are often transforming and everlasting,” said Lortie.

Throughout the stages of the sponsorship process, MCC provides the sponsors with training opportunities and support.

The number of refugees MCC is able to receive is limited only by the number of people that want to sponsor, according to Lortie. The Canadian government promised 10,000 refugees would

be here by the end of 2015.

“Our numbers are included in those figures from the government. A lot of those numbers were actually private sponsorships. So then, it was just a matter of the groups and the sponsorships that are already set up, of finalizing them. We had already done a lot of the work and we just continue to do the work,” said Lortie.

Possibly the largest resettlement project undertaken

by MCC to date was when 70,000 refugees from Southeast Asia were resettled here.

But MCC’s response to the Syrian refugee crisis is their largest-ever humanitarian effort. In Syria, Iraq and surrounding countries, MCC has 27 ongoing projects that deliver emergency relief.

Resettling refugees here helps ease the pressure of aid in these conflict-ridden areas. “We’re just real-

ecutive Director of Canadian Foodgrains Bank.

“While we are encouraged by the generosity of so many Canadians and congregations who are helping to sponsor Syrian refugees to come to Canada, it is also vital that Canadians continue to remember and support the millions of displaced Syrians still living in the region who need our assistance. Finding resources to support displaced families inside Syria and those who have fled to surrounding countries is more urgent that ever.”

Since 2012, the Foodgrains Bank has provided over $30 million of assistance to Syrian refugees living in Lebanon and Jordan, as well as people inside Syria.

Through the Fund, the Government of Canada will provide assistance through international and Canadian

humanitarian organizations to help meet basic humanitarian needs of people affected by the conflict in Syria, including shelter, food, health care and water. It will also provide protection and education for conflictaffected people in Syria and millions of refugees in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.

Minister Bibeau made the announcement along with

representatives from Canadian Foodgrains Bank, the Canadian Red Cross, CARE Canada, Development and Peace, Oxfam Canada, Plan Canada, Save the Children Canada, UNICEF Canada and World Vision Canada.

To make a donation to help Syrian refugees in the region through the Foodgrains Bank, go to www.foodgrainsbank.ca

ly grateful for all the people that have committed to sponsor a family,” said Lortie.

Anna Peters honoured as 2015 Osler Citizen of the Year Anna Peters was presented with Osler’s 2015 Citizen of the Year award in late December.

In presenting Anna with her award, Osler Mayor Ben Buhler gave the following presentation: “In the early years when Osler had the red fire phone in the Fire Chief’s house, Anna answered a lot of fire calls (and/or wrong number calls). Her husband was the town maintenance person at the time and many folks would phone the house

regarding town work. She answered many calls, and some, as one can well imagine, were not of a pleasant nature.

“Anna served on the Library Board in Osler for a number of years and during that time she sewed many denim book bags which she crafted from used denim jeans – using the good quality parts of course. These book bags were used for Library fundraising. Anna was also involved with Meals on Wheels, when the

program was operating in Osler.

“Because Anna drove a school bus for over 20 years, there are many students who will still fondly remember her for her kindness and caring. Individual students have been known to knock on her door bearing their own hand-made gifts.

“Anna’s flower gardens are on the yearly kindergarten nature walk through Osler – and the children are encouraged to take home selections of flowers for bou-

quets….of course free of charge. The rest of us get to admire and enjoy the riot of colours displayed by her flower beds each spring and summer. Lilies down to the pansies, she always complains she can’t get to grow in the flower beds but selfseed on the outside edges.

She goes about quietly helping anyone where a need be; not wanting or expecting anything in return. She is a person one can count on, whether to listen to one’s woes or just have a friendly chat. When folks from outside of Canada move into our area, she is there to act as a chauffeur, an interpreter, or a person they could call on for any kind of help/ information. She has helped some of the newcomers

learn the English language.

“How many seniors can boast about spending days (&nights) in the maternity ward and being joyful about not being the one leaving with the new bundle! Not once but twice! Thus she became the adopted ‘grandmother’ to our café owners’ children.

“For many years after she was no longer on staff at the local café they kept her phone number on the 1-800 please help dial. And she would drop everything and quickly walk over to lend a hand, all they had to do was ask.

“As our community has celebrated its many events, one could always see Anna helping in any capacity she could. There has been

the making of Rollkuchen for the Pioneers’ fundraisers, and the soap making, just to mention a couple. I do not think she can count the many, many blankets she has sewn over the years for the MCC Blanket Making. How about the number of denim blankets that have been sewn?

“You can find Anna volunteering still, at the Warman Thrift Store, sorting clothing. She is known as ‘tante Ann’ to many children, some because she is actually their aunt. But also to others because their friends call her Tante Ann, so she has become their Aunt as well. Maybe, in part due to the cookies she loves to bake, and they, of course love to eat!”

Techy taskmasters: Fitness tyranny or enlightenment?

My phone is not happy with me. It has been nagging me to be more active. What it doesn’t know HILARY is that I have been active.

KLASSEN When winter hit, my fitness regimen, such as it Lifestyle Files is, moved indoors and my phone stayed behind.

The app likes to send me messages like, “Be more active” or “Don’t fall back.” More recently, it’s more like, “One month with no activity.” I feel marginally bad, but I know the truth. However, fresh off the holiday season I know I must pay for recent indulgences. A few extra nudges in the direction of fitness doesn’t hurt.

Fitness activity trackers have gained tremendous popularity. In 2016, the battle of the bulge may give way to the battle of the ‘Fitbit.’ If you’re not obsessing about how many steps you walk, you may feel behind the proverbial ‘8’ ball.

But before you set your sneakers to turbo mode, consider this. Someone else may soon be ‘obsessing’ about your fitness activity.

Last year, Manulife Financial began rewarding customers who can demonstrate they’re committed to health and fitness. The company launched a program in the U.S. promising a reduction in annual premiums and other rewards and discounts as a reward for healthy living.

New customers receive a ‘Fitbit’ wearable activity tracking bracelet to help them track their progress. An Apple watch can substitute for a Fitbit. Getting an annual physical, running a marathon, regularly having things like cholesterol, glucose and blood pressure checked, and swiping your card at the gym can get you points. A similar program, ManulifeMOVE was launched in China last September.

This development changes the conversation for insurance coverage. The system is typically based on self-reporting. With this change it will shift to ‘big data,’ where customers willingly hand over their activity stats. Some employers now provide wearable trackers to their employees.

Rumour has it the new Manulife Fitbit activity tracking rewards program could be coming to Canada soon.

Customers had asked for this, to be rewarded for choosing healthy living. And maybe it is an enlightened approach, a new direction that promotes and rewards wellness.

But what happens when, down the road, your employer has become a little too enamored with your fitness.

How does an insurance company track pre-existing conditions in this realm?

Fitness trackers as a personal choice, fine. Fitness trackers as assigned by your boss or insurance company, I’m not so sure. Is this enlightenment or tyranny?

However well-intentioned this whole program might sound, it moves into the personal realm in ways that feel invasive. It’s another merging of the public and private self. There are good reasons to close the gap between the public and private self, but it’s unfortunate that those who are unable for personal reasons to pull their lifestyle together in the required ways, will be punished.

Insurance already punishes those who smoke and who are overweight. How long until diet choices come under scrutiny? The thing they don’t say is, whenever they’re rewarding, they’re also punishing.

Users of fitness trackers also risk having profile and personal information stolen, or having your data used in ways you don’t anticipate.

I am not in love with this idea. I wait for the day in the hypothetical enlightened future when counting steps will seem like a total yawner. Thankfully, my phone isn’t especially wearable.

pared with 59,560 people who have left Saskatchewan for other provinces; a netout-migration loss of 5,639.

But more to the point, half of those people left for better opportunities in Alberta; an old, familiar story to parents from both the cities and rural areas of our province.

It is an issue made even more familiar by the politics of our province.

Many of you will remember the Grant Devine Progressive Conservative campaign of 1982 where one of the themes was “bring the children home.” Or you may recall the 1991 NDP elections in which a bus pulls up at a farmyard and a young girl is given a hug by her parents before she boards that Alberta-bound bus.

Now, the Saskatchewan Party is already running advertisements touting their record on population growth during the past decade, which is considerably better than that of the previous decade under the NDP administration.

However, the information is also framed as a loss of Saskatchewan people to Al-

berta. In recent years, that hasn’t been the case.

And why Saskatchewan’s out-migration record is so bad now is an interesting question because Alberta is clearly suffering even more from the downturn in oil.

Doug Elliott, publisher of Sask Trends Monitor, noted Alberta’s mining/oil/gas jobs in the first 11 months of 2015 declined by 11 per cent.

But in Saskatchewan, the decrease was only six per cent in these sectors.

Yet overall job growth in Alberta in the first 11 months of 2015 was 1.4 per cent; almost triple the .5-percent job growth in Saskatchewan.

Elliott argued that this is why we continue to see young Saskatchewan people flock to Alberta for betterpaying job opportunities.

The statistician noted that Alberta is even creating more jobs in the public sector areas of health and education; a trend that started before the arrival of its NDP government in May. We are again losing ground to Alberta; a reality that hurts everywhere in this province.

NEWS & PHOTO SUBMISSION TIPS

The Clark’s Crossing Gazette welcomes the submission of news stories, photos, letters or any other information that would be of interest to the readers of this newspaper.

NEWS OR SPORTS STORIES

If you or someone you know has been involved in an event you think is newsworthy, please include your name and contact information (either a daytime telephone number and/or email address). Please send the information in a timely manner following the event and remember to include as much pertinent information as possible, including the following:

1. WHO was involved?

2. WHAT was the event?

3. WHEN and WHERE did the event occur?

4. WHY was the event important?

PHOTO GUIDELINES & TIPS

All the information that goes with a news story should also accompany photo(s) as above. Include the names of all the people in each photo and identify from left to right and from back to front.

1. Set your camera to the highest resolution possible. The more resolution, the better the

final outcome of the photo in print.

2. Don’t be shy! Get close to your subject(s). Most photos taken with a built-in zoom lens extended will

produce “grainy” images that do not reproduce well.

3. Attempt to get dynamic photos of something happening instead of just a quick snapshot.

4. “Presentation” photos typically don’t work well if there are too many people side-by-side in the frame.

If there are many people in the photo, have them as close together as possible and, if needed, have

the front row seated and the back row standing.

5. Remember taking a picture facing into the sun or bright light will produce poor quality images.

Warman approves group care home

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A group care home operated by Menno Homes was approved by Warman City Council at its regular meeting on Monday, January 11.

The home, located on Cherry Lane in one of the city’s new residential neighbourhoods, meets all the architectural standards for the area, and was approved as a discretionary use under the neighbourhood’s R2 zoning. The home is owned by the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation (Sask Housing) and is being leased to Menno Homes of Saskatchewan under a long-term contract.

This is the second Menno Homes group care home given the go-ahead in Warman.

The other home, located in the Legends neighbourhood, is owned by Menno Homes.

Jordan Varey, Menno Homes Executive Director, told the city council meeting that the new facility will house four intellectually-challenged adult females.

Full-time staff with Menno Homes will be on the premises 24-hours per day to provide care and programming for the residents.

Varey noted that Menno Homes has been providing care for intellectually-challenged individuals for over 50 years, and currently operates nine group homes in Waldheim and one in Saskatoon. The agency currently supports 50 individuals, and employs a total of 140 employees at its facilities. The agency also operates SARCAN recycling depots in Waldheim and Martensville.

The new group home in Warman is one of 40 residential care homes being built by Sask Housing across the province to house intellectually-disabled adults transitioning from the closure of the Valley View Centre in Moose Jaw. Four of those Sask Housing homes are currently in operation in Moose Jaw and are managed by local community-based organizations. Seven other properties are currently being constructed in other communities.

Several homeowners in the immediate vicinity of the new group home expressed concerns to council that approving the facility would depress land values in the neighbourhood.

Other concerns, including the possibility that there could be a change in the type of residents living at the facility, was also raised.

However, any significant change to the current arrangement would have to come back to city council.

PASSING THE TORCH

Warman City Council confirmed the appointment of Russ Austin as the city’s new Fire Chief at its January 11 meeting. Council also confirmed the appointment of Kevin Schwartz as the new Deputy Fire Chief.

Province has lowest unemployment rate In December 2015, Saskatchewan’s unemployment rate was 5.5 per cent (seasonally adjusted), the lowest rate among provinces and well below the national average of 7.1 per cent.

Saskatchewan has maintained the lowest unemployment rate in Canada for 26 of the last 27 months.

“Despite the economic challenges caused by low oil prices, Saskatchewan had the lowest average unemployment rate in the country in 2015,” Immigration, Jobs, Skills and Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “Having the lowest unemployment rate

in the country and the creation of full-time jobs is proof that our economy remains resilient.”

There were 570,900 people employed. Full-time employment increased by 1,500 and part-time decreased by 2,500.

Regina’s employment was up 1,700 (+1.2 per cent), and Saskatoon’s employment was up 300 (0.2 per cent) compared to December 2014.

Major year-over-year gains were reported for health care and social assistance up 4,300; information, culture and recreation up 3,500; trade up 1,800.

Austin emphasizes team approach for Warman Fire Rescue

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Warman’s new fire chief has some big boots to fill.

But Russ Austin is confident he can chart a new path for Warman Fire Rescue while still following in Gord Thompson’s footsteps.

“You can never replace a guy like Gord,” said Austin in an interview at the Warman Fire Hall on Monday, January 4. “You can only succeed him in the line of fire chiefs that have led the organization. He’s definitely a one-of-a-kind guy and he will be missed.

“But I’m confident that with the team we have, we’ll continue to serve this community well.”

Austin officially took over as Warman’s fourth Fire Chief on January 1. He succeeds Thompson, who was a strong leader in the organization for almost 40 of the Warman Fire Department’s 51-year history.

The transition was planned by the fire department and Warman City Council and began a little over two years ago when Austin was hired as Deputy Fire Chief, a full-time position.

“I’ve been working side by side with Gord from the day I was hired,” said Austin.

“Gord knew he was going to retire and basically they wanted to have someone come in and become familiar with the department and

steer the ship in the same direction.”

Battalion Chief Kevin Schwartz now steps into the role of Deputy Fire Chief.

Schwartz’s appointment was made official at the Warman City Council meeting on Monday, January 11.

Schwartz served a previous term as Warman Deputy Fire Chief, but moved into the Battalion Chief position on a temporary basis during the transition period over the last couple of years.

With Austin stepping into the top post, the Fire Chief’s position now becomes the only full-time salaried position in the department. The Deputy Fire Chief, which was full-time during Austin’s tenure, now reverts back to a volunteer position.

“In the future, we may get to the point where we add a second full-time position, and if that happens, it would be the Deputy Fire Chief’s position,” said Austin. “But at that time it would be opened up for people to apply and it would be an open competition.”

Austin is a former RCMP officer who also served as a volunteer firefighter with the Martensville Fire Department for 20 years, including several years as Deputy Chief in that city. He said his experience as a police officer has helped him hone certain skills. He said while firefighters’ organizations have similarities to

Schwartz is the new Warman Deputy Fire Chief law enforcement agencies in that they have a clearcut command structure and their members are often in dangerous situations, there are also fundamental differences.

“I take my hat off to the Mounties,” said Austin.

“When they respond to a domestic assault call at 2 o’clock in the morning, and nobody is answering the door, they don’t know what’s waiting for them behind that door.

fire at 2 o’clock in the morning, you know exactly what you’re dealing with. You also have a well-trained and well-equipped support team with you.

“For a Mountie, they may have backup, but that backup could be 40 minutes away.”

RECORD CALL VOLUME

With a population now exceeding 10,280, according to the latest Sask Health statistics, Warman is one of the fastest-growing cities in the province, said Austin. But, he added, the current volunteer fire department is trained to professional standards and is fully capable of handling a workload that is getting heavier every year.

“In 2015, we responded to 365 emergency calls in total,” said Austin. “That’s an average of one call per day.

The big increase has been on the medical side. Our call volume for motor vehicle collisions and fires has also gone up, but not at the same rate.”

Warman Fire Rescue has a total complement of 30 members, all of whom are

trained to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) professional standards as well as certified First Responders. Last week, five new members who recently completed their testing were officially welcomed into the ranks.

Austin said the quality of applicants looking to join the fire department is consistently high, and it’s a tough competition. Those who make the cut are “very capable individuals who are a big asset to the community,” he said.

The current response time for the department is eight minutes and 10 seconds.

The NFPA standard dictates that 90 per cent of response times must be under 10 minutes.

FIRE INSPECTIONS

Warman Fire Rescue is responsible for conducting fire inspections of buildings in the city, and Austin said they are making headway in clearing up the backlog that built up during the construction boom over the past couple of years.

“It’s slowed down a bit, and that’s allowed us to catch our breath,” he said.

“By this spring we should be caught up on the highrisk occupancies like schools, seniors complexes and fuelling stations. Our goal is to visit every storefront business, group home, daycare, that sort of thing, twice a year.”

Currently, there are three firefighters, including Austin, who are certified fire inspectors. A fourth member of the department is expected to be certified as a fire inspector by the end of the month as well.

The department is expecting to take delivery of a new wildland fire truck and a new ladder truck in 2016.

The ladder truck is capable of fire suppression from considerable heights. A new automated Compressed Air Foam System (CAFS) pumper truck was added to the fleet in 2015.

Austin said the department aims to continue its community involvement while adding to its training program.

El Salvador trip ‘life-changing experience’ for Martensville youth

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Living and working alongside villagers in a small community in El Salvador has changed the way Bethany Flegel looks at life.

“I did get my eyes opened to a lot of things,” said Flegel in an interview on Friday, January 8. “It was a real culture shock for me when we first got down there, because I had never seen that kind of poverty before. It was so much different than Canada.

“But it didn’t take long before I realized that people have a lot in common, regardless of where they live or what they have in the way of material goods. We all have hopes and dreams.

“It was a good experience; one that I’ll never forget.”

The Martensville High School (MHS) student was one of eight Saskatchewan teenagers who took part in the Global Citizen Youth Leadership Program in the summer of 2015. The program is jointly organized by the Saskatchewan Council for International Cooperation (SCIC) and the Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund in El Salvador.

Last month, the group of eight youth leaders who participated in the experience shared their stories with high school audiences across Saskatchewan.

Flegel spoke to her own school and shared excerpts from a video that was filmed during their stay in El Salvador. She encouraged her peers to take a critical look at the world and work for positive changes.

Flegel said she learned a lot about El Salvador’s history during her time in that small, Latin American nation.

“I was shocked to find that the

people are still rebuilding after the civil war that ended in the 1990s,” she said. “Refugees who fled the country are still moving back; and a lot of people are living in poverty because of the war and its aftermath.

“We visited the site of the largest massacre of civilians in El Salvador; and the sole survivor of that tragedy told us her story.

“It really shook me up,” she continued. “It was incredible and heart-breaking to hear that such things can happen; and I feel it’s our responsibility to share those stories with others in order to prevent these things happening again anywhere in the world.”

The bulk of the time the Saskatchewan student leaders were in El Salvador, they worked with a local organization that is trying to educate people about preventing the spread of HIV and AIDS. Flegel said she also learned that “international development” works best when projects meet the needs of the local people.

“Sometimes charity, even if it’s well-intentioned, can undermine a community,” she said. “It’s important to work in solidarity with existing local organizations.”

Flegel said prior to her trip to El Salvador, she had never even been on an airplane and had virtually no interest in politics.

But now, she said, she has a much better understanding of global politics; and a much-deeper appreciation of the Canadian democratic system.

She said the experience taught her the need to workfor democracy and human rights at home and abroad. She believes young people can make a difference through their involvement in international development efforts.

Dalmeny gets short end of stick from Shellbrook

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Winter has hit and so have the Shellbrook Elks. They came out strong against the Dalmeny Fury on Friday, January 8 and skated away with a 4 – 0 win.

“They just came out really hard,” said Fury player-coach Brody Foster. “They put a lot of pressure on us. It could have been a different story without our goalie, Dan Bauer. I think they threw 70 some shots at him. He played really well.”

The Shellbrook Elks currently lead the Fort Carlton Hockey League with 10 wins and one loss.

The team dominated the first and second periods.

“We really caught our legs throughout the third period,” said Foster. “I think they only had about four shots.” The Fury had a couple of power plays and put some pressure on the Elks.

“We kind of took it to them a little bit but we couldn’t seem to foil their goalie,” said Foster.

“They’re a really good team so you pretty much have to be playing on all cylinders to have a chance against them.” The Fury was playing with slimmer ranks, given the holiday season. Foster said with the amount of guys they had, they played a decent game.

The Fury decided in December not to go to provincials. “We have to go to “A” Provincials and usually it’s very competitive. Un-

less you can pick up a line and a couple of defensemen, its better to just join up with a team,” said Foster. Some of their members have joined up with the Tisdale Ramblers and others have joined up with the Hague Royals to help strengthen the squads for provincials.

The Fury is operating with team leadership this season versus a full time coach. A committee of three or four handles play calls on game days and organizational matters. Foster says this has worked fairly well for them.

“We’ve got a good group of guys out there. We all know how things work and we all kind of play for each other, we just go out and have fun,” said Foster.

For next season, however, they’re looking at getting a full time coach. “Not that its not doable without one, but its that extra voice in the room that helps out and really takes some stress from the players of having to make those calls,” he said.

Foster said new additions to the team have fit in really well. Josh Lees is one of those. “He had a really good start. He’s injected that youth into our team, which is good to have. Our team is getting younger and the younger players have a lot of legs and passion in them to push you.”

The Fury’s next and last home game of the season is against the Prairie Outlaws, at 8:30 p.m., January 22 at the Dalmeny Arena.

Exercise: THE MIRACLE CURE-ALL?

Fitn ess ti

There are many benefits to exercise and after sifting through study after study, professors at the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges in the United Kingdom and elsewhere have labeled exercise a miracle cure.

Ps

The organization, which “speaks on standards of care and medical education across the UK,” recently released a report titled “Exercise: The Miracle Cure and the Role of the Doctor in Promoting It”. The goal of the report is to provide doctors with tools that will help them promote exercise to patients. The Canadian Society of Exercise and Physiology has also put forth a document to the Canadian Government to address this issue. Both organizations benchmarked that physical activity is a preventative measure against a wide range of diseases and ailments.

According to this report, here is a breakdown of some of the benefits of exercise: 31% reduction in cardiac mortality 90% improvement in self-esteem and well-being (from outdoor activities) 25%-53% reduction in pain symptoms among osteoarthritis patients 57% lower rate of prostate cancer progression - in all cancer patients at least 10 mm Hg drop in blood pressure among 31% of patients 50-80% reduction in risk of development type 2 diabetes 30-50% reduction in risk of falls among older adults 30% lower all-cause mortality rate 45% reduction in risk of bowel cancer

Royals hold off Fury in furious final minutes

By MACKENZIE HEINTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca The Hague Royals picked up a 4-2 victory over the Dalmeny Fury on Sunday, January 10 at the Hague arena.

Fifty-six seconds into the first period, the Royals capitalized on a turnover by the Fury in the neutral zone, which eventually led to a goal scored by Calder Neufeld.

But a few minutes after the Neufeld goal, Josh Lees of the Fury tied the game.

Later in the period Kyle Aschim put the puck past the goaltender to give the home team a 2-l lead.

In the second period, Hague found themselves in penalty troubles, which led to a five-on-three power play for the Fury.

Dalmeny capitalized on that power play and again

tied the game. Ryan McBride had the goal.

The Royals regained their lead in the third period after David Richard tipped the puck past the goalie to give his team a 3-2 advantage.

Hague added to their lead when Jesse Mireau received a nice pass in front of the net and tapped the puck past the goaltender, which made the score 4-2.

With two minutes remaining in the game Hague had a minute and 12 seconds remaining in their penalty kill, and Dalmeny had their goalie already pulled which gave them a 6 on 4 advantage, when another penalty was called against the Royals. After a couple of close scoring opportunities from Dalmeny, the Royals killed off the penalties without allowing a goal to win the game.

Hepburn girls win gold, boys take silver in New Year’s Classic

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The host Hepburn Hawks senior girls basketball team captured the gold medal at their New Year’s Classic basketball tournament in Hepburn last weekend.

The girls team edged Perdue 37-35 in the championship final.

The Hawks senior boys team took the silver medal on the boys’ side of the tournament, losing in the championship game to Leask.

This was the second annual New Year’s Classic tournament in Hepburn, with the games played in the large gym at Bethany College on Friday, January 8 and Saturday, January 9.

The tournament featured

seven girls’ teams and seven boys teams from Hepburn, Dalmeny, Hague, Waldheim, Langham, Perdue and Leask.

Hawks senior girls coach Leanne Thiessen said the games were very close, as the teams were “wellmatched.”

“Both the boys and girls round robin draws saw some very close, competitive games between Hepburn, Hague, Dalmeny and Perdue in the girls and Hepburn, Leask, Langham, and Waldheim on the boys’ draw,” said Thiessen.

“The final on the girls side came down to a threeway tie breaker between Dalmeny, Hepburn and Perdue to determine who

would advance to the final.

Hepburn and Perdue faced off in the end for an exciting match; with Hepburn coming out on the winning end by a score of 37-35.”

Thiessen said a tie-breaker was also needed between Waldheim and Hepburn to determine who would face Leask in the boys’ final.

“Hepburn ended up advancing and put out a great effort against the talented Leask team, keeping the game neck and neck until the last few minutes.

Leask’s #24, Evertt Badger, sunk several three pointers in a row and another field goal or two to pull Leask ahead, out of reach of the hard-working Hepburn team.,” said Thiessen.

Sakiewicz takes helm of National Lacrosse League The National Lacrosse League (NLL) announced Nick Sakiewicz has been appointed NLL Commissioner, effective January 7. Sakiewicz brings over two decades of experience working in Major League Soccer, most recently serving as cofounding partner and CEO of Keystone Sports and Entertainment, the ownership entity of the Philadelphia Union of MLS. “I’m honored and excited to join a tremendous group of owners and lead the National Lacrosse League as NLL Commissioner,” Sakiewicz said. “Similar to soccer 20 years ago, lacrosse is a dynamic and rapidlygrowing sport amongst an incredible demographic in North America.

The National Lacrosse League, which includes the Saskatoon-based Saskatchewan Rush, is celebrating its 30th anniversary season featuring the best players in the world and highlighted by some incredibly entertaining competition.

I’m really looking forward to bringing my experience working in MLS to the NLL and helping everyone in the lacrosse community to grow the league and expand the sport.”

Sakiewicz takes over for former NLL Commissioner George Daniel, who had served in the role since 2009 before announcing in November that was he stepping down to start a new law firm while remaining as Counsel to the league.

Sakiewicz conceived and launched the Philadelphia Union, which marked Major League Soccer’s 16th franchise, along with leading the acquisition and construction of the team’s home field at Talen Energy Stadium (formerly PPL Park) in Chester, Pennsylvania.

Sakiewicz joined Major League Soccer as an original founding executive in 1995. Along with a small group of league executives, Sakiewicz helped launch MLS in 1996 as its first Vice President of Commercial Sponsorship Sales. Sakiewicz went on to lead two inaugural Major League Soccer teams from 1997 to 2006 in Tampa and New York, serving as President and General Manager for both teams.

After nine successful seasons, in which he received the league’s Executive of the Year award twice (1999 & 2000) and was nominated a third time, Sakiewicz played the lead role in building Red Bull Arena and helped in the record sale of the New York MetroStars to the Red Bull energy drink company. He engineered the deal to build the first of two soccer-specific stadiums for the New York Red Bulls in America’s largest market, and in doing so, Sakiewicz solidified the long-term viability of the New York-based MLS franchise.

In 2006, Sakiewicz helped found Keystone Sports and Entertainment by assem-

Provincial economy proves strong in 2015

National Lacrosse League Commissioner Nick Sakiewicz bling the investors who would eventually become the ownership group of Major League Soccer’s 16th expansion team, the Philadelphia Union. Over a two-year period from 2006 to 2008, Sakiewicz led Keystone’s efforts in negotiating one of the league’s most favorable soccer specific public/private stadium deals in history, paving the way to officially announce the Union’s first-ever season.

In spite of challenges on the resource front, Saskatchewan’s economy remained strong in 2015 compared to other provinces.

“Saskatchewan remains at or near the top among Canadian provinces in many important economic categories, like job creation, unemployment rate and population growth,” Premier Brad Wall said. “The fact we have been able to withstand the considerable economic hit from low resource prices while still showing economic progress speaks volumes about the resiliency and the diversity of Saskatchewan’s economy.”

The province is on track for another year of record high employment, averaging 573,900 for the first 11 months in 2015.

Saskatchewan’s employment growth has actually been gaining strength in recent months, with 7,200 more people working in November 2015 compared to November 2014. That’s an increase of 1.3 per cent nearly double the national average of 0.7 per cent and

the provinces.

“There is no doubt that the slowdown in the resource sector is causing some challenges for our economy, but Saskatchewan

continues to attract people, jobs and investment and I expect that to continue in 2016,” Wall said. “Our diversified economy is keeping Saskatchewan strong.”

Report from the

Legislature

Nancy Heppner MLA MARTENSVILLE CONSTITUENCY

Keeping Saskatchewan Strong in 2016 As Saskatchewan people settle in to the new year, we have good reason to be optimistic.

While we face some challenges due to the drop in the global price of oil, a resilient, strong and diversified economy is helping us to meet those challenges and continue to keep Saskatchewan strong in 2016 and beyond.

Our population has now grown by 146,000 people over the past decade. These people have worked hard to turn the worst job creation record in Canada into the best. Our government has worked to set the right kind of environment and business climate to encourage this growth. This is one reason for optimism.

Population and job growth during a downturn in the energy sector is a big change from a few years ago when a downturn in one part of the economy would lead to job losses in every part of the economy. Today, 85 per cent of Saskatchewan’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is generated outside of the oil and gas sector.

Indexation Will Save Saskatchewan Taxpayers $8.1 Million This Year In 2016, all Saskatchewan income tax brackets and tax credit amounts will go up 1.3 per cent, matching the national rate of inflation.

This annual measure helps Saskatchewan people keep more money in their pockets throughout the year. Indexation is part of an array of measures aimed at keeping taxes low.

Individual taxpayers now pay no Saskatchewan income tax on their first $19,220 of income while a family of four pays no Saskatchewan income tax on their first $49,800 of income. A family of four with $50,000 annual income, and deducting $3,000 in child care expenses, has now seen their provincial income tax cut from about $2,300 in 2008 to zero in 2016.

When income tax savings are combined with new tax reduction programs that have been introduced since 2008, a single person with $25,000 annual income will benefit from $913 in lower provincial tax in 2016 than in 2008. A family of four with $50,000 combined income will see tax savings of $2,977; and a family of four with $75,000 combined income will see tax savings of $2,709, when comparing 2016 to 2008.

New Essential Services Legislation Now in Effect Amendments to essential service legislation (Part VII of The Saskatchewan Employment Act) are now in effect. The amendments ensure alternative methods are available to settle workplace disputes. They foster on-going, productive and effective relationships between workers and employers while protecting the public.

The new legislation addresses all concerns raised by the Supreme Court of Canada in its January 30, 2015 decision. The ruling recognized essential services must be maintained while respecting workers’ rights to take job action. The amendments came from stakeholders working collaboratively with government.

Together, we created legislation that is fair and balanced and does not diminish existing rights and privileges of the working people of Saskatchewan. For more information on the changes, visit www.saskatchewan.ca.

ly 1,000 square feet (93 square metres) in size. Additional support was provided by the Tachane Foundation.

Habitat and the Stobart Community School have partnered together to engage and train Duck Lake students in various construction trades through the renovation of the home.

“Our government is proud to support Habitat and its partners to help another Saskatchewan family achieve stability through homeownership,” Batoche MLA Delbert Kirsch said on behalf of Social Services Minister and Minister responsible for Saskatchewan Housing Corporation Donna Harpauer. “This is a wonderful opportunity for people to come together and build a better community.

This keeps our province strong and moving forward.”

“Habitat for Humanity Prince Albert and our Duck Lake chapter are very excited to have begun this project for our recipient family,” Habitat for Humanity Prince Albert Executive Director Jan Adamson said. “Of the family selected for this home, one parent is currently studying to obtain her nursing degree, and the other is working with Stobart Community School of Prairie Spirit School Division. With the support of the Province, local high school students are receiving vocational training in carpentry, a community has banded together to create a new home in their neighborhood, and a young, hardworking family will have a place to grow and thrive. It’s a winwin for everyone involved.”

The province has commitment $7.85 million in funding in Habitat for Humanity projects since March 2009. This funding supports builds in 13 communities across the province including Duck Lake, Fort Qu’Appelle, Humboldt, Lloydminster, Melfort, Moose Jaw, Nipawin, the Battleford region, Prince Albert, Regina, Saskatoon, Weyburn and Yorkton.

When the province first funded Habitat, the funding provided was $50,000 per home. In March 2014 the province increased the amount of funding by $15,000 to a total of $65,000 per home.

Borden School raises funds for Children’s Hospital

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca With a student population of just under 100 students, Borden School raised a total of $310 in a single day last week.

The school’s goal is to raise as much as possible in donations during the month of January for the Saskatchewan Children’s Hospital (SCH), currently under construction in Saskatoon.

Roughly 75 per cent of the students, ranging from Kindergarten to Grade 12, donated a minimum of $1 during a “Pyjama Day” event on Friday, January

8. It’s the first of several such days scheduled for the month of January, according to Katie Hesje, a teacher at the school and one of the organizers of the event.

“Every Friday, the kids will be dressing up in their pyjamas to support the Children’s Hospital,” said Hesje in an interview at the school. “The suggestion for the pyjama days actually came from the Children’s Hospital campaign. They pointed out that the sick kids in the hospital wear pyjamas, and it’s a way of building a connection with them.

“Plus, it’s kind of a fun

way for the students to express themselves.”

Brooklyn Gader, a Grade 12 student at Borden School and a member of the students’ representative council, said the students chose this cause because they felt it was a worthwhile endeavour.

“This is the first year we’ve done this particular event for the Children’s Hospital, but we do fundraisers throughout the year for lots of charities,” said Gader. “We picked this one because it’s specifically for kids, and we’re kids too. It’s a cause that the students can identify with.”

Pioneer teacher turned sophisticated traveler knew Diefenbaker

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccggazette.ca From the back woods of Saskatchewan to destinations around the globe, former teacher, Janet Rawlyk has emerged as an articulate senior citizen with the soul of a traveler.

The 87-year-old resident of Dalmeny’s Spruce Manor Special Care Home has traveled to England, Scotland and Wales, as well as Spain, Portugal, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Thailand, Israel and the Ukraine.

“I’ve had a lot of wonderful experiences,” she said. Rawlyk grew up on a farm near Wakaw. She has an impeccable memory and stories simply flow out of her.

Many of her travels were to visit former students, a few of whom had scattered to the four winds – an airline pilot in Singapore, for example.

Rawlyk began teaching at age 17.

She got her education at “Normal School” (the equivalent of teacher’s college) beginning in 1945.

Her first teaching gig was at Black Bear School in Hudson Bay, out of Erwood.

“There were no roads. You crossed the river with a team of horses. The horses would be going one way and the current would carry the wagon. And you hoped that your main pole wouldn’t break!” said Rawlyk. Thus her teaching career was launched, which apparently went swimmingly.

Being a pioneer district, the main entertainment was a box social. At one box social, a 45-yearold bachelor bought her box at the auction and so they had lunch together. No doubt he had designs on the young single teacher. “I got kidded about that for a long time,” she said.

“Another exciting thing we would do is once a month is, we would catch the freight train and go to Hudson Bay and that was our outlet,” she said. There was one passenger car.

One of her next positions was

Teacher and traveler, Janet Rawlyk enjoyed visiting formers students in various parts of the globe on her many travels.

with the separate school system in Prince Albert where her salary was $1100. That was per year!

Rawlyk eventually settled in Nipawin where she taught for 17 and a half years. Her starting salary was $2500 per year. The Central School had three male teachers and herself, the only female.

“They wanted to do the science and the math, so I got stuck doing the music and the arts. Whatever they didn’t want to do was shoved on me,” she said.

Rawlyk and her husband Ernie started their own farm equipment business in Nipawin. They started with Minneapolis-Moline & Cockshutt, but eventually it became White Farm Equipment, which they owned for 40 years.

Rawlyk did the books for the business. When Ernie died in 1993, the enterprise was sold.

When Rawlyk was teaching Grade 7 and 8 at the new Alex Wright School in Nipawin, John Diefenbaker paid a visit. “He landed on the school yard and came

and spoke to the students,” she said. Diefenbaker’s first law practice was in Wakaw. “He knew all the family and he knew I was there and I was teaching social studies.” This was after he was prime minister. The Rawlyks later visited him in Ottawa.

As a result of all her travels, Rawlyk came to really appreciate her Canadian home and its freedoms. While traveling in Malaysia and Thailand, because of the high Muslim population, they had to cover their heads. “When we went to visit one of the mosques, and they gave the women a gown, particularly because you couldn’t have say, a halter top and shorts, and you had to cover your head and you had to take your shoes off,” she said.

Now, in her later years, Rawlyk enjoys spending time with her three children and four grandchildren. Whenever she likes, she can pull out her storehouse of memories and mentally page through many wonderful experiences.

Dalmeny Fire Rescue’s February Formal highlights protective services’ role

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Suffering from Cabin Fever now that winter has tightened its icy grip?

Dalmeny Fire Rescue (DFR) is coming to your rescue.

The volunteer fire department’s second annual ‘February Formal’ dinner and dance is set for Saturday, February 6.

According to DFR member Carlos Villafuente, the event has three purposes: to recognize the role of protective services in the community; to raise funds for improvements to the DFR’s training

grounds; and most importantly, “to have a good time.”

“Our Valentine’s Day formal last year was a real success, and everyone enjoyed it,” said Villafuente in an interview on Thursday, January 7. “People had a great time, and we raised some money, so we’ve decided to make it an annual event.”

Villafuente said while the agenda is not completely nailed down, it will be similar to last year’s event; with a tribute to emergency services personnel, a catered dinner, silent and live auctions, a dance with a live band, and door

prizes. The band is “Off the Grid.”

He said a portion of the funds raised at the event will expand the DFR training grounds. Improvements are currently underway, as the area has been levelled and dirt and gravel have been brought in. A couple of large metal shipping containers will be brought in and used for training purposes.

The containers, said Villafuente, will be modified to simulate the interior of a residential home.

“The objective is to have an environment where we can do mock

search and rescues, and also practice our training in a smoke-filled environment,” he said. “There are always new firefighting techniques and technology that we need to be familiar with.” `Villafuente said the DFR is also looking to erect some tow-

Freeman is NDP candidate for Rosthern-Shellbrook riding

Insurance broker and Shell Lake Chamber of Commerce president Rose Freeman was selected to be the New Democrat candidate for the Rosthern-Shellbrook constituency.

Freeman is a fourth-generation resident of the area, having grown up on a farm just outside of Shell Lake.

She has a diploma in Advanced Financial Services and owns and operates Willow Insurance in Shell Lake.

“What I’m hearing more and more from families in this region is that they’re growing tired of being taken for granted by the Sask. Party and, after a decade of resource boom, they’re frustrated that this government has so little to show for it,” said NDP Leader Cam Broten, who attended the nomination meeting. “That’s why I’m so proud to have Rose Freeman as our candidate in this constituency.

“Rose has proven herself to be a strong advocate for her community and this whole region. As a business owner and chamber president, she knows what it takes to build a prosperous and sustainable economy. And as a mom, she cares deeply about ensuring that all kids in Saskatchewan get a great education and have loads of opportunities here. Rose will be a great MLA.” Freeman said she decided to seek elected office because she shares Broten’s vision and wants to be at the forefront of positive changes that benefit her community, and all Saskatchewan fami-

lies.

“I’m excited about this opportunity to represent the people of the Rosthern-Shellbrook constituency and to work with Cam Broten to deliver on what matters most to Saskatchewan families today— better health care, seniors care and education, smart investments in highways and infrastructure, and many more good, mortgage-paying jobs,” said Freeman. “I agree with Cam that we’re just scratching the

surface of Saskatchewan’s incredible potential right now. That includes rural Saskatchewan. It’s a great place to live and it holds so much potential – but we need a government that doesn’t take rural Saskatchewan for granted and that truly focuses on people’s priorities.”

Freeman and her husband, Scott, have three children.

She is an active volunteer with the Shell Lake Curling Club and the local preschool.

The return to colder seasonal temperatures has brought a new record for power use in the province.

Saskatchewan’s new record peak load reached 3,640 megawatts (MW) at 5:31 p.m. on Jan. 11. Last winter’s peak of 3,628 MW was set on Jan. 8, 2015.

“We’ve had a relatively mild start to winter this year, but as expected we continue to set new records for power consumption,” said Mike Marsh, SaskPower President and CEO. “In order to make sure our customers keep having access to the reliable, cost-effective power they depend on, we’ll continue to work hard to renew our equipment and bring innovative power supply options to Saskatchewan” To lighten the load and curb their power bills this winter, SaskPower’s customers have the power to save: *Turn down the thermo-

stat. Changing the temperature of your home by even a few degrees can make a big difference. For every degree you lower your thermostat overnight for an eight-hour period, you can save up to two per cent on your heating costs. *Plug in your car with a timer. Your car only needs to be plugged in for four hours.

Use a block heater timer to save around $25 a year. *Turn out the lights. Shorter days and longer nights mean interior lights in your home are on longer. Remember to turn out the lights when you leave a room. Better yet, cut down the power they use by about three quarters by using LED light bulbs. *Customers on equalized payments should keep an eye on their bills and any balance being carried, to avoid one large bill at the end of the year.
