Remembrance Day service in Shellbrook The conflict in Afghanistan took a central role in this year’s Remembrance Day service at the Shellbrook Theatre November 11. Before a full theatre, Shellbrook Legion President Lloyd Rudolph described how many a Canadian soldier has fought overseas so that the fight would not come back onto Canadian soil. The Afghan mission, which comes to an end for Canada in December, is one of those instances. “Not to overshadow the other conflicts but we do owe them a great debt, the soldiers who have fought (in Afghanistan),” said Rudolph. “Through their courage, determination and professionalism roads and schools and security were provided where they never existed before.” Since Canada became involved in the conflict, 158 Canadian soldiers have died in Afghanistan. The most recent was the death of Master Corporal Byron Greff, of Edmonton’s 3rd Battalion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, who died, along with 16 others, when the Rhino he was travelling in was rammed by an explosives-packed car. Representatives from the town’s various churches said prayers and Knox United Church minister Dave Whalley gave the sermon for the service. “It is a day of honour and respect for those of us who sit her today to say thank you to all those who gave their lives for a while and returned home and especially those who gave up their lives and never did return home,” said Whalley. On this day, Whalley said that he and his wife Leslee are remembering Cpl. Dustin Wasden of Spiritwood who died in Afghanistan in 2008. He noted that we must observe Remembrance Day not to glorify war but remember that those who gave their lives gave their lives for peace. “It seems obvious to me that war and violence are not permanent solutions to any real or imagined conflict or differences between people,” said Whalley.

in producing a video that tells the story of a patient, and highlights all of the health care providers who are part of her care team. In particular, thank you to Valerie Isbister, a cancer survivor who was the main character in the video, and to Jennifer Maczek, the choreographer, to Big Drum Media, and to Sharon Griffin, Director of Acute Care, for leading this project with enthusiasm and passion.” Medline, the company that makes the pink gloves and sponsors of the Pink
Glove Dance Contest, donated $2,000 to the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency – Saskatoon Cancer Clinic. In addition, Prince Albert Canadian Tire store owner Malcolm Jenkins matched the donation with a $4,000 donation of his own. “We are touched by the generosity and support of staff, doctors and volunteers from Prince Albert Parkland,” said Scott Livingstone, CEO of the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency.

Prairie Spirit School welcomes new trustee
The Prairie Spirit School Division board welcomed its newest trustee and approved its five year capital plan at its most recent meeting. George Janzen, the new Trustee for Subdivision 4 (Hepburn, Osler and Dalmeny), attended his first Prairie Spirit Board meeting on Monday, November 7. Janzen won a by-election for the position on October 19. Janzen is a retired educator who lives in the Osler area. “I’m very interested in what’s going on in education,” he told the Board. Trustees warmly
welcomed Janzen to the Board. The Board approved a five-year capital plan for the school division as well as the submission of proposed capital projects for 2012 to the Ministry of Education. The five-year capital plan (called the B5) is a detailed report of anticipated needs in the school division in terms of repairs and improvements as well as major capital projects and is a requirement of the Ministry of Education. The smaller projects, covered under what’s called “block” funding, include
items such as roof repairs, relocatables, electrical system repairs and site improvements. The Division’s submissions for 2012 capital projects under block funding total $16 million. The five-year capital plan includes major capital projects for the communities of Warman and Martensville. The Division has formally applied for new elementary schools in Warman and Martensville and for the proposed expansion of Martensville High School. The Martensville High School expansion project has already been

Once on the priority list, capital projects wait for further Ministry approval to move to planning, design and construction phases. These major capital projects have an estimated total cost of $73 million. Once the Division submits these capital needs to the provincial Ministry of Education, the Ministry
will prioritize capital submissions from all school divisions throughout the province. The priority list is typically released in the summer. The provincial government will announce which prioritized projects will receive funding in 2012 at the time of the provincial budget in March. The new middle school in Warman received approval to move to the planning and design stage in the March, 2010 budget. The

Taman in control after Miller’s departure The Canadian Football League is down to its final four in the running for the 2011 Grey Cup but the Saskatchewan Roughriders got a headstart on all of them in the news this past week. While the Blue Bombers, Tiger-Cats, Lions and Eskimos all battle for the right to play in the CFL title game in two weeks in Vancouver, the Riders took a major step towards cleaning up the franchise’s mirky future. At a news conference on Wednesday, Rider President Jim Hopson announced Vice President of Football Ken Miller will not be replaced and that General Manager Brendan Taman has been given full control of football opera-

It was admitted that Taman never had much control of the team while having to answer to Miller the past two seasons, and now it’s up to him to chart the course including hiring a new head coach. It had been suggested
Taman was due a contract extension because no topnotch coach would want to come here with a GM in such a precarious situation but that notion was quickly swept aside. No, Taman was confident as he addressed the room full of media and also announced the promotion of Jeremy O’Day to assistant GM. Taman, a Saskatoon
Elks 3-1 after weekend games
The Shellbrook Elks found themselves on the right side and the wrong side of a shutout during a pair of games over the weekend. The Elks traveled to Dalmeny to face the Fury Friday night earning a 6-0 victory before dropping a 2-0 decision to the Bruno T-Birds Saturday night in their home opener. Elks 0 Bruno 2 Ryley Boeschen stood tall in net for the Bruno T-Birds as they handed the
Shellbrook Elks their first loss of the season. The game remained scoreless through the first 27 minutes before Bruno’s Brett Parker broke the scoreless tie in the second period. Through the first two periods, the teams split 40 minutes worth of penalties. In the third, the T-Birds gave themselves some insurance with 4 remaining on a goal by Lee Huber. Despite 52 minutes
worth of penalties called, neither team was able to capitalize on any of their powerplay opportunities. Elks 6 Dalmeny 0 Goaltender Kelly Guard earned his first shutout of the season as the The Shellbrook Elks blanked the Dalmeny Fury in a penalty filled game in Dalmeny November 11. The Elks and Fury combined for 68 minutes of infractions. Despite serving 38 minutes in penalties, the Elks were perfect on the penalty kill while managing one goal with the man advantage. Tyler Harris put the Elks on the scoreboard just seven minutes into the first with a shorthanded goal. The second goal of the game didn’t come until 20 minutes later when Ryan Gareau scored a regular strength goal seven minutes into the second. Both teams stayed off the board through the next 20 minutes until the Elks opened up a four goal third period seven minutes into the period. Josh Peterson, Ryan Robin, Matt Bergen and Mark Walter each scored for the Elks to cap off the 6-0 win.

First and foremost is the matter of a coach. Right now there are four or five candidates but that list will swell as more coaches become available (some are currently under contract to teams still alive in the playoffs). Rider assistants Richie Hall and Craig Dickenson have made it known they’ll apply for the job, as has Hamilton defensive coordinator Corey Chamblin. Offensive coordinators Dave Dickenson (Calgary) and Scott Milanovich

(Montreal) will be approached as well, and interviews will begin this week. This will be a crucial hire for Taman. For all intents and purposes, this is his first real shot to prove himself. He reportedly had no real control during his 10 years in charge of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and he certainly didn’t have it here the past two.
It’s a one-shot deal to turn this thing around and get a new contract for himself, and to restore credibility to this franchise. He welcomes the challenge. (Rod Pedersen is the voice of the Riders on CKRM radio)

How to make the punishment fit the crime?
Once again the sentencing circle concept has been brought to the forefront as another high profile defendant has requested one after pleading guilty to a serious crime. Charissma DeeDee McDonald requested a sentencing circle after pleading guilty to a charge of criminal negligence causing death stemming from the death of her daughter Shatoya Cheyenne Chatelaine in 2006. McDonald failed to get Shatoya treated for a common infection which proved fatal. Her lawyer has ordered a pre-sentence report to look at the possibility of a sentencing circle and sentence to be served in the community, with electronic monitoring. The concept was instituted by former Yukon Judge Barry Stuart during his time on the bench. Stuart used the sentencing circle regularly starting in 1992. Word eventually spread and the concept has made its way across Canada. In the 1990’s, this was a far more common practice than it is today but it still comes up from time to time. The circle isn’t about retribution but community building, he said in a 2009 interview with the Regina Leader Post. He said that they are about healing those affected by the crime and those who committed it. The key word here is restorative justice. In 2009, Christopher Pauchay requested a sentencing circle after pleading guilty to criminal negligence causing death after the freezing death of his two daughters Kaydance (3 years old) and Santana (16 months). One January night, after a night of drinking Pauchay took the two children out into the cold dressed in only tee shirts and diapers on a night where the wind chill hit -50. The next morning he was found on a door step at a neighbouring house and the children were no where to be found. The judge denied his request for a sentencing circle and gave Pauchay a three year penitentiary sentence. The concept of a sentencing circle is intriguing as it is a way for a community to heal through restorative justice and perhaps find a way to keep a body out of jail. The person who committed the crime and the victim can work toward healing and making the situation right. But when dealing with a situation where someone died as a result of the crime it just can’t be that simple. From everything that I have read about sentencing circles, the concept was designed for crimes far less serious than criminal negligence causing death. Theft, break and enter or assault -- I can see a way to make amends for crimes like those when a person serves their sentence in the community. But there just isn’t any fixing dead. Though it may have its place, I think the justice system should turn the page on the sentencing circle idea as it muddies the waters of an already confusing system that seems to allow far too many criminals off far too easy.
The Paul Martin Commentary The outlook for the agriculture sector has probably never been better. Strong global demand is pushing up prices in the face of a declining land base as well as a world population that has now topped 7 billion. Actually the sector has been riding a positive wave for the last five years but here’s the unusual part of the story – there’s no end in sight for an industry that has grown accustomed to more downs than ups. The magnitude of the uptrend is underscored in a report prepared by the economics unit of TD Bank which says the outlook remains positive, opening the door on unprecedented opportunities for farmers. The big increase in demand is coming from Asia. China, for example, increased its imports of Canadian livestock products by more than 40 per cent this year alone. Basically the factors that have been driving potash prices and expansion – added purchasing power by consumers in much of the world – is also driving agriculture which puts Saskatchewan in the unique position of having its primary industries hitting on all cylinders at the same time. *** All the talk about rent controls and the tight rental market seems to have spurred developers into action. The latest figures from CMHC show that starts for multi-family units is up dramatically in this province, especially in the major cities, so far this year and the pace of development is picking up. In the first ten months of 2011, the number of multifamily starts in Regina, for example, is six times the pace of single family starts. In Saskatoon 2.5 times which will
Paul Martin
help to take off some of the pressure. In fact overall housing activity is not living up to earlier forecasts. A few months ago there was an expectation that things will begin to slow down this fall with builders taking their foot off the gas. Instead the exact opposite has happened as new starts of all types – single, multiple and so on are considerably ahead of last year. In October alone the number of new starts in Regina were nearly three times last October and Saskatoon was 1.5 times higher. *** There`s an old saying in politics that success involves campaigning on the left and governing on the right. In other words, voters respond to spending promises but fiscal prudence requires effective political leaders to manage the public finances in a frugal manner. Fresh off an election which was dominated by spending promises from both sides of the aisle, the real test now will be to see if Brad Wall will play it a little closer to the vest when it comes to spending. And the first things he talked about centred around things like paying down the provincial debt and growing the population. It appears he`s taken the message of fiscal prudence to heart, advancing it as a priority on the first day of his new mandate, effectively marking the difference between election rhetoric – where almost anything can be promised - and the reality of governing. In opposition politicians don`t have to be accountable for ideas or suggestions you advance. On the other side of the floor, it`s a little different. Making promises and keeping them are much more closely scrutinized.

Viewpoint Numbers show scope of Sask. Party win There was huge voter-turnout problem in last Monday’s Saskatchewan election. We used to call it the NDP vote, but it has disappeared somewhere. And it wasn’t just in rural Saskatchewan where NDP votes actually started to vanish decades ago. The NDP vote has now also started to disappear in the cities, where the Sask. Party picked up 10 of its 11 additional seats for a grand total of 49 in the 58-seat assembly. To better understand this phenomenon of the Sask. Party now dominating in both the country and the city, let me put forward a few absolutely mind-boggling statistics from election night. For starters, the Sask. Party’s biggest disappointment last Monday has to be Cannington MLA Dan D’Autremont who has always won his riding with threequarters of the popular vote. Admittedly, D’Autremont again won with three-quarters of the vote. (74.9 per cent to be precise), but that was less than the 77.8 per cent he garnered in 2007. That makes D’Autremont the only Sask. Party candidate out of the 58 that received a lower percentage popular vote in 2011 than the riding’s respective Sask. Party
candidate in the respective riding in 2007. In fact, five Sask. Party candidates _ Nancy Heppner, Martensville (83.2 per cent), Wayne Elhard, Cypress Hills (82.7 per cent), Yogi Huyghebaert, Wood River (81.9 per cent), Jim Reiter, Rosetown-Elrose (80.9 per cent) and Brad Wall, Swift Current (80.7 per cent)_ topped 80 per cent. There were another 10 Sask. Party candidates with more than 75 per cent of the popular vote: Bill Boyd, Kindersley, (79.7 per cent); Lyle Stewart, Thunder Creek, (79.5 per cent); Doreen Eagles, Estevan, (79.1 per cent); Don Toth, Moosomin, (77.2 per cent); June Draude, KelvingtonWadena, (76.9 per cent); Randy Weekes, Biggar (76.9 per cent); Don McMorris, Indian Head-Milestone (76.3 per cent); Dustin Duncan, Weyburn-Big Muddy (75.7 per cent); Fred Bradshaw, Carrot River Valley (75.3 per cent), and; Don Morgan, Saskatoon Southeast (75.2 per

cent). So with just shy of three quarters of the vote, D’Autremont tied for 17th best popular vote with Ken Cheveldayoff of Saskatoon Silver Springs at 74.9 per cent. Others with more than 70 per cent included: Greg Brkich, Arm River-Watrous (73.7 per cent); Bob Bjornerud Melville-Saltcoats, (73.5 per cent); Donna Harpauer, Humboldt (73.1 per cent); Kevin Phillips, Melfort (73 per cent), Greg Ottenbreit, Yorkton (72.3 per cent) and; Gord Wyant Saskatoon Northwest (70.1 per cent). Another 12 Sask. Party candidates registered more than 60 per cent and 12 more were about 50 per cent. This means a total of 47 of the 49 Sask. Party candidates that won, with a 50-percent majority or better. The only winning Sask. Party candidates with less than 50 per cent of the vote were Victoria Jurgens, Prince Albert Northcote (49.9 per cent)
Murray Mandryk
and Greg Lawrence, Moose Jaw Wakamow (49.3 per cent). By comparison, of the nine NDP wins, only the two northern MLAs -- Buckley Belanger (Athabasca) and Doyle Vermette (Cumberland) -- won with outright majorities. The rest squeaked in with vote totals in the mid- to high-40-per-cent range, meaning the NDP could have easily been reduced to two northern seats. But as amazing as these Sask. Party numbers were, perhaps the magnitude of the win can best be measured in the actual number votes Sask. Party candidates received. This was an election in which popular vote fell to 66 per cent compared with 76 per cent in 2007 -- a 40,000 drop in the number of voters. But despite the fact that there were simply less votes to be had this election, 44 Sask. Party MLAs got more votes than the party’s respective candidate in 2007. (Interestingly, of the 14 Sask. Party candidates that got less actual votes, only two were in the cities.) In short, voters did stay home last Monday night. Most of them were once NDP voters.
Your Two Cents
Open letter to Minister Ritz Open letter to Hon. Ritz, Minister of Agriculture Canada. Which part of equity do you not understand - Is it age, size or meaning of fair? Could we try this scenario? You go to Ottawa and there is only one car
dealer. Montreal has 7 or 8 (similar to competing grain companies). Where would you expect to get the best deal? Countries that need to purchase grain have the same problem - Wheat Board or 7 or 8 agencies to deal with. The farmer and/or
the worker in the car plants don’t enter the equation hardly. The Wheat Board doesn’t need to worry about profit being controlled by government. We know this by the national debt. Whereas the private companies must keep their
shareholders happy. By the way I must, am forced to pay the national debt by law so its a meagre worry about paying the Board members for testing the integrity of the Federal Government. Emmanuel Oystreck, Yorkton, Sk.
Property taxes still need attention Editor: In 2010/11, the total property taxes collected in Saskatchewan were estimated to be $1.6 billion. This represents 2.83% of provincial GDP, higher than either the provincial sales tax or the combined various corporate taxes. Our over reliance on property tax is undermining Saskatchewan’s competitive position and it is time for reform. The province has made progress on property taxes over the last few years, and I applaud their efforts, but the recent recommendations found in the Canada West Foundation’s Tax Framework, warrant implementation. The higher rate of property tax levied on non-
residential properties can be 3.5x that of residential properties in some areas of the province. A calculation for 2010 shows that the gap is 1.75x in Saskatoon and 1.95x in Regina. Capping this differential at 1.43x for both the education and municipal portion of property tax, as the Framework recommends, would enhance the competitiveness and attractiveness of Saskatchewan’s cities. It would also bring an improved level of fairness to the property tax system. The complexity of property taxation in Saskatchewan, particularly as it relates to non-residential classifications, is characterized by a lack of transparency,
accountability, public acceptance and legitimacy. Let’s start addressing these issues today and “A Tax Framework for Saskatchewan’s Continuing Prosperity” provides a clear, tangible place to start. Read the

People should ensure measles immunizations are up-to-date Health officials are strongly encouraging Saskatchewan residents to ensure their measles immunizations are up-to-
date as two more cases of measles have recently been confirmed in Regina. There have been six cases of measles so far in
Saskatchewan in 2011, all in Regina. Two cases were in unimmunized children under the age of five years, two were in unimmunized
young adults, and two were in middle age adults who may have received one dose of measles vaccine in childhood.
Measles cases are usually very rare in Canada, but they do occur. Currently there is a measles outbreak in Quebec,
11113MF00
while United States, Europe and Australia are also seeing an increase in measles cases. Measles is a viral infection that can spread easily from person to person through coughing or sneezing (airborne), as well as indirect contact with contaminated articles. “Because measles is a serious illness and so infectious, we are urging parents in Saskatchewan to ensure that their children are up-to-date with their immunizations,” Saskatchewan Deputy Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab said. “All children in Saskatchewan 18 years and under should have received two doses of a measles containing vaccine - MR (Measles, Rubella) or MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella).” Most adults should be immune after having received the vaccine or having had the disease. Persons born in 1970 or before are considered to have naturally acquired immunity. Persons who have contracted measles usually have the following symptoms: • fever (38.3 C or greater); • cough; • spots in the mouth appearing 1-2 days before the rash; • a red blotchy rash appearing on days 3-5 and usually lasting for 4-7 days; • runny nose; and •redness of the eyes and inner eyelids and/or light sensitivity. Symptoms usually occur within 8 to 12 days after exposure but this time frame can range from 7 to 21 days post exposure. Measles is highly contagious from about 1-2 days before the appearance of the rash until about 4 days after. If a person develops the symptoms listed above they should: • See their physician, who may order blood and urine testing as well as a nasopharyngeal or throat swab. • Inform physician’s office that they may have been exposed to measles to ensure they will not be sitting for a long period in the waiting room where they could infect others. For more information on immunizations residents can contact their local public health office, physician or regional health authority. Information on measles and immunizations are also available through HealthLine at 1-877-8000002 and on the Ministry of Health website www. health.gov.sk.ca.

Agriculture Draft horses still a big part of ag shows There is something about being around draft horses which I have always enjoyed. It probably goes back to stories my Dad used to tell about how he quit school in Grade 8 to stay home and work the big horses in the field. When I was a youngster, a few decades ago now, the stories were most intriguing because of the prospect of quitting school, but as I grew older I came to understand my Dad’s love of the big horses. At the Grain Millers Harvest Showdown in Yorkton recently it was great to see the gentle giants as part of the event, especially
when the draft horse show has been eliminated from Canadian Western Agribition. I have to think that is a mistake by the CWA given how impressive a ring full of four and sixhorse hitches are. It is sad that has been lost at what we often hear referred to as the premier livestock show in Canada. In the case of the Yorkton show one of the most amazing moments for me was to watch young school students gathered around the massive draft horses. The children were in awe, but also so excited to be able to reach out and pet the big horses which took the attention in their usual

docile nature. That is perhaps the most amazing thing about draft horses, how the powerful horses are so amazingly calm. The seeming opposites come into focus when watching the horse pull competition. Between pulls the horses stand quietly on the sidelines.

To help you do this, a new farm management tool called the Canada FarmSafe Plan has been developed by the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA). The Canada FarmSafe Plan initiative supports the theme Plan * Farm * Safety, a three-year focus for the Canadian agricultural safety campaign. In 2010, the campaign promoted “Plan” with safety walkabouts and planning for safety. This year, the focus is on “Farm” including implementation, documentation and training. And in 2012, emphasis will be on “Safety” including assessment, improvement and
further development of safety systems. Download the core Canada FarmSafe Plan at www.planfarmsafety.ca . Prompt reporting of workplace injuries and illnesses ensures complete, accurate information and allows the injury or illness to be assessed and treated as necessary. This information is also useful in injury surveillance where similar, recurrent injuries reported by several workers may suggest the need to change some aspect of the work site or the tasks performed by workers. Here is a four-step process to farm first-aid reporting: First, ensure your farm or ranch has the equipment, supplies and trained staff to provide first aid care in the event of a workplace injury or illness. Next, designate a person to whom all injuries or illnesses will be reported; likely the owner or opera-
tor.
Third, as the employer, create and maintain an accurate written First Aid Report of all work-related physical injuries or sudden illness that workers experience. The First Aid Report is simply a statement of facts including: date and time of the injury or illness as well as when it was reported; the full name, date of birth and address of the worker; description of the injury or illness and where it occurred; the cause or likely cause; whether first aid was provided and if so by whom and what is their training, if any. Although the cause of the injury or illness may be unknown at the time it is being treated, every effort should be made to determine the cause within a reasonable period of time and add it to the report. Even if no first aid is administered, an injury or illness reported by a worker should be recorded. And finally, once the First Aid Report is written, the injured worker should review it for accuracy and sign it. A copy should be offered to the worker for their records and the employer should file the original in a confidential manner for at least three years from the date in injury/illness. It is important to retain these records as it may be helpful to the treatment of the worker and also helps demonstrate due diligence as an employer.
Once they are hooked to the pulling sled there is an explosion of power as the horses get down to the business of pulling. To see the horse pulling up to 10,000 pounds shows their great power, and how it was that much of the Canadian Prairies was transformed to farmland through the sweat of horses such as those now relegated to pulling show wagons and competitive pulling as they have given way to mechanization. It is good though that breeders are keeping draft breeds alive, and in terms of raising top animals the Canadian Prairies certainly excel. An example of the quality was seen at the
recent World Clydesdale Show held in Wisconsin. Donegal Dr. Pepper was recently named Supreme Champion Clydesdale of the world at the show. The six-year-old stallion was raised by Greg Gallagher of Canora and was chosen Grand Champion Stallion of the show for his current owners Bob and Laura Gookin of Boulevard, Cal. He topped a field of 108 stallions which were eligible for the title. The championship was one of several top-10 class finishes to come back to Western Canada. And in 2012 it will be the Belgian breed’s time to shine as their world show is held in Brandon, an event high on my ‘must at-
tend’ list for next year. No doubt Western Canadian bloodlines will once again shine. Certainly draft horses are integral to our farm heritage, and any effort to maintain the breeds gets my applause. In that same vein it’s hats off Merlin Ford of the Kuroki area and his ongoing efforts to chronicle the history of draft horses in a new book. Check it out www.clippityclop.ca For me the big horses are a living connection to the farm efforts of my Grandfather and my Dad, and that will always make them special, and an element of any agricultural event I will be drawn to.

Young Canadians want mom and dad to be financial role models
November is Financial Literacy Month, and parents across Canada are being urged to educate their children about the ABCs of money. The bottom line is that money should not be a taboo topic in the home. In fact, all the evidence shows that parents who are most successful at teaching financial skills familiarize their children with the family’s financial situation. A recent study by
the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA), measured the financial literacy of Canadians aged 16-22. The survey found that ninein-10 young Canadians believe their parents should be good role models for responsible financial decisions and 83 per cent have approached their parents for advice about money management. “Being open and transparent about money mat-

ters is a key element to opening doors of conversation, producing a higher level of trust and helping youth develop their own financial goals,” says Kevin Dancey, president and CEO, CICA. Of the 78 per cent of respondents who are familiar with their parents’ financial situation, the majority (83 per cent) believe that knowledge has helped them establish their own money management goals. Those familiar with their parents’ financial situation are more likely to say they have both been approached and have approached their parents for advice. Overall, seven-in-ten respondents are optimistic about their financial future (23 per cent very optimistic and 46 per cent optimistic), however, only 47 per cent believe they will be more prosperous than their parents. The survey suggests that there is plenty of room for improvement when it comes to financial literacy among youth. Fewer than half surveyed are very confident in their ability to develop a budget (36 per cent); stick to a budget (33 per cent); limit spending (39 per cent) or use credit cards responsibly (48 per cent). In fact: - Only 43% of respondents have a budget - Only 52% of respondents track their spending - More than one quarter (27 per cent) of the youth surveyed say they do not limit their spending - Half (54 per cent) of those surveyed have a credit card and 22 per cent carry a balance Females are more cautious The survey also found that teenage girls and young women tend to be more cautious: - Females are more likely to worry about money (62 per cent) than males (49 per cent); females also tend to be significantly less optimistic about their financial future (64 per cent) versus 74 per cent for males. About a third of the youth surveyed (38 per cent) believe their parents have been very successful in teaching them about money. Those results echo the findings of the CICA’s “Canadian Finance Study 2010” that surveyed parents. It found that 78 per
cent of Canadian parents had attempted to teach their children financial management skills, but two-thirds (60 per cent) believed they were not very successful. Educational tool for parents The CICA will release a new tool titled “A Parent’s Guide to Raising Money Smart Kids” in the new year. “Teaching money management is an important facet of parenthood,” says Dancey. “Learning about financial matters helps both children and youth develop the knowledge, values and discipline needed to make life’s important financial decisions. It is best to start when the children are young and then get progressively more advanced as they get older.”
Top 10 Money Skills Taught to Teens 1. Limiting spending (76%) 2. Saving for a major purchase (69%) 3. Using credit cards responsibly (61%) 4. Sticking to a budget (56%) 5. Keeping a good credit rating (52%) 6. Developing a budget (51%) 7. Managing cell phone expenses (50%) 8. Investing (47%) 9. Minimizing interest on debt (34%) 10. Avoiding financial fraud (28%)
The vast majority of youth surveyed (89 per cent) believe that responsible money management teachings lie largely in the hands of parents. Educators are next with 24 per cent of respondents referencing them, followed by the financial services sector and banks (16 per cent) and government (13 per cent). A survey summary report is available online at www.cica.ca/yflstudy2011.
Teens and money skills The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants asked teenagers and young adults about the financial skills taught to them by their parents. The poll found that 87 per cent of Canadians aged 16 to 22 have been taught money skills by their parents and that youth are hungry for financial knowledge and skills to improve their financial IQs.
How to get the most mileage out of every tank of fuel Follow these fuel-efficient driving tips from Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and make fewer trips to the gas station this winter: • Avoid aggressive driving behaviours, such as quick starts and hard stops—that can increase your fuel consumption by up to 25 per cent; • Drive at the posted speed limit—decreasing your cruising speed from 120 km/h to 100 km/h will decrease fuel consumption by approximately 20 per cent;
• Don’t idle—idling for more than 60 seconds uses more fuel and produces more CO2 compared to restarting your engine; • Use cruise control— on dry, flat, wide-open highways, use cruise control to help improve fuel efficiency by maintaining an even and steady speed; • Take the most fuel-efficient route—routes with fewer stop lights and less traffic may use less fuel than shorter routes with more stop lights and heavy traffic; • Measure your tire
pressure once a month— under-inflated tires by 56 kilopascals (eight pounds per square inch) can increase your vehicle’s fuel consumption by up to four per cent; • Calculate your mileage—set your trip odometer every time you fill up and challenge yourself to go farther and farther on each tank of fuel. NRCan has a handy online fuel calculator on their website at www.vehicles.nrcan. gc.ca.

organizers from a pair of pre Christmas sales
Deb Jensen displays some bronze artwork at the Nisse Foundry booth at the Shellbrook Christmas Craft Sale.
Saturday in Shellbrook are still considering them a success. The annual Shellbrook Arts Council Christmas Craft Sale and the Shellbrook Home Business and Trade Show took place at the Community Hall and Seniors Centre, respectively, and saw respectable but lower than average crowds. According to participant and organizer of the Craft Sale, Sylvia Jones, crowds were a little thinner than they were in the previous year but many of the exhibitors she had spoken to were pleased with the turnout. “We were down (a little bit) over last year but last year was a really good year. Overall we were happy with the turnout and the results considering the weather,” said Jones. The however the variety of crafters on display was unaffected by the bad weather as tables were sold out for months to crafters
and artisans from across the province. Just a few of those cancelled the morning of the show due to poor driving conditions. Crafters from Rosthern, Big Shell Lake, Prince Albert Meanwhile, at the Seniors Centre, the third annual Home Business and Trade Show saw average crowds. The sale, geared more toward home business than art and craft, once again saw a variety of businesses from cosmetics to food preparation.
The tradeshow was also sold out leading up to the event but space was made by a few last minute cancellations. According to co-organizer Tracy Dupuis, their venue was busy throughout the day despite the poor road conditions. “Usually it is busy in the morning and really slow by 2 o’clock but this year it was steady right through to the end,” said Dupuis. Based on this year’s results both sales are set to take place again next year.

Over the past year, the Canadian dollar – the Loonie - is doing well relative to the U.S. dollar and many other major global currencies. But for Canadians with foreign mutual fund investments, a rising Loonie can have negative consequences – unless you ignore the current currency volatility and stay the course for the long term. Here’s why. • Historically, the Canadian dollar has had many ups and downs against its U.S. counterpart. In 2002, the Loonie hit a low of 61.79 cents followed by a climb to parity and beyond. • Oil is a major reason why the Loonie has appreciated. Historically, the
Canadian dollar is highly correlated with the price of oil. Canada is a significant oil supplier and as demand (and crude prices) increase, the demand for Canadian dollars increases as more must be purchased to pay for this commodity. • For Canadian dollar investors with international investments, the ascent of the Loonie has meant a portion of returns generated by global indexes have not been fully realized. Even though Canadian investors buy units in foreign investments with Canadian dollars, those dollars must be converted into foreign currencies so the fund manager can buy foreign securities. When the Canadian dollar ap-
preciates, the foreign currency will be worth fewer Canadian dollars – causing a negative effect on that Canadian investor’s foreign assets. When the Loonie depreciates, the foreign currency is able to buy back more Canadian dollars than originally invested – causing a positive effect on the value of the foreign fund. Forecasting geopolitical events and currency movements is a mug’s game – even the experts won’t try. Like market volatility, currency volatility tends to smooth out over time so the best strategy is to continue investing according to your personal time horizon and tolerance for risk.

advisor can help you determine a beneficial strategy for your situation. This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

Illnesses caused by the Shigella bacteria continue to persist in Saskatchewan and health officials are
urging good hand hygiene. Shigella is a bacterium that spreads very easily from person-to-person because
it only takes a very small number of Shigella bacteria to make a person sick. Characteristics of Shigella illness can include stomach pain and cramps, fever and diarrhea with mucus and sometimes blood. Saskatchewan normally records between 10 and 15 cases a year, mostly related to foreign travel. Since April 2011, Saskatchewan has recorded 48 cases. The majority of these cases were found in children and were not linked to overseas travel except in one case. In many of the cases, the strain of the Shigella bacteria is similar, which would indicate ongoing personto-person and householdto-household spread in Saskatchewan. Most of the cases have been in central, northern and southeast Saskatchewan. While investigations are ongoing, no linkages to a particular food item or event have been identified. “It’s vitally important to wash hands often, especially after using the washroom or before preparing food as people may be infected with Shigella and pass it on to others without having symptoms
themselves,” Saskatchewan Deputy Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab said. Advice for people experiencing diarrhea, especially with fever, painful cramps, and mucus and/or blood: • Contact a doctor or Nurse Practitioner to arrange for assessment and treatment; • Stay home from work or school and limit visiting with friends and relatives, until at least 48 hours after the diarrhea has stopped. This is especially important for those who work in an occupation such as food service, childcare, eldercare or healthcare; • Frequent and thorough hand washing with soap and running warm water, especially after using the toilet. This is the single most important way to stop the spread of Shigella; and • Avoid preparing food for others. For more information about Shigella, visit www.health.gov.sk.ca/shigella or call HealthLine at 1-877-800-0002.
Health officials urge good hand hygiene to prevent spread of shigella
Hot grain in the bins
By Dave Cubbon, P Ag Cavalier Agrow Ltd. This harvest was a warm one. Warm harvests means that grain went into the bins hot. Some grain went into the bin at over thirty degrees Celsius. This temperature means that the grain has potential to heat. All bins need to be checked now. With warm grain being placed in the bin in the fall, air will move in a bin. The bigger the bin, the more air movement there will be. The air will move until the temperature in the bin becomes stable. The greater the difference in temperature from the outside air to the grain in the bin, the more the air has to circulate in the bin to cool the temperature down. The thirty degree grain is now quite a bit warmer than the outside air. The most likely place for the moisture to build up from this air movement in the bin is in the cone at the top of the grain pile. The reason for this is the movement of air in the bin. Cold air on the outside of the bin cools the grain inside to a lower temperature than the rest of the bin. Cold air falls on the outside of the bin and rises through the center of the bin. As the air warms up going through the grain, it picks up moisture. This moisture is deposited in the cone at the top of the bin. The grain must be checked in the fall. The most likely place for grain to be heating is in the middle of the cone at the top of the bin. This is the best area to check for heated grain. The best way to check temperatures of grain in the bin is with temperature monitoring equipment in the bin. If you don’t have access to this equipment, sticking a rod in the bin will allow the bin temperature to be checked. If the grain is warm, the grain in the bin should be moved. Generally, taking the middle cone out of a bin will be enough to bring the temperature of the grain down and ensure safe storage. The center of the bin will be the warmest grain, so the warm grain will be in the truck when the cone is removed from the center of the bin. If you can leave the grain in the truck overnight, the warm grain will cool down in the truck box. This cooler grain will help with storage when it is returned to the bin. For this cooling to be effective, the temperatures should be less than 15 degrees Celsius. All stored grain should be checked. This is the time of year to do it. With the change in temperature that we are seeing at this time of year, the time is right to move some grain around.

PAPHR recognizes Pink Glove Dance video participants Continued from page 1
“This donation will help draw attention to how together we can improve the health of people in the province through breast cancer awareness, prevention and early detection.” Sponsored by Medline — the creator of the YouTube® sensation Pink Glove Dance and maker of the pink gloves — the national competition included 139 video submissions from hospitals, nursing homes, schools and other organizations from 40 states and Canada. In all, more than 17,000 people were featured in the videos, which are all available for viewing at www.pinkglovedance.com. The Victoria Hospital video has been viewed more than 85,000 times on YouTube, and received more than 38,000 votes through Facebook accounts. Victoria Hospital’s winning video features
hundreds of hospital staff, and followed the story of a breast cancer survivor, with participants dancing in pink gloves to Katy Perry’s hit song “Firework”. It finished in third place in the contest. Lexington Medical Center in West Columbia, S.C., won first place and Highland Hospital in Rochester, N.Y., won second place. *** The Managing Medications Team, led by Karen Kaptein, Director of Pharmacy, and Barb Levesque, Assistant Director Acute Care, provided a report on the team’s activities to improve the management of medications and reduce the risk for medication errors. The report outlined efforts to improve staff and physician access to policies and procedures, as well as the safe prescribing of medications. The Managing Medications Team is
also involved in the revision of the discharge chare plan to improve communication between all of the agencies that are part of a client’s care team to provide a more client-focused approach to self-management. One of the Region’s priorities for patient safety and quality improvement is implementation of medication reconciliation processes at each step of the patient’s journey. Medication reconciliation on admission is fully implemented in at Victoria Hospital and Shellbrook Hospital. The results of our second quarter audit showed an increase in successful medication reconciliations, but there is room for improvement. *** Gary Dickson, Saskatchewan’s Information and Privacy Commission, made a presentation about
the legislation governing privacy of health information and responsibilities of health information trustees. Health trustees must ensure private information is protected and individuals have access to their own information. He outlined four predictable problems areas, including: * Access by patients to their own personal health information; * Client consent * Disclosure of personal health information to third parties; and * Security of personal health information. Using one specific investigation about improper access of personal health information, Mr. Dickson said that are some common themes evident in many investigations involving health care providers who violate the legislation. He said the biggest threat is carelessness of trustees
and curiosity of trustee staff, and that while audit capacity is important there is a need for ongoing proactive campaigns closer to the point of service. *** Other notes from the regular board meeting include: * Prince Albert Parkland Health Region has an operating surplus of $133,891 for the month of September 2011. This brings the year to date surplus to $1,884,207. The forecasted surplus to March 31, 2011 is $1.542 million, which is approximately $500,000 more than planned in the budget. After the required transfers to the capital fund for mortgage payments, longterm care reserves and the energy performance loan payments, the Region is forecast a surplus of $505,645. * The statistical re-
port presented by Cheryl Elliott, Vice-President Finance, shows that the Victoria Hospital’s daily census for this year averages 96 per cent of capacity for the period April 1 to September 30, 2011. Emergency room visits at the Shellbrook Hospital are lower, as expected due to closure during the week. The Brief and Social detox centre has had a 7.5 per cent increase in the number of admission. Home Care nursing visits have also increased by 11.7 per cent from the same period in 2010. The next Regional Health Authority meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, December 14, 2011 in the main boardroom at 1521 6th Avenue West, Prince Albert. The meeting begins at 1 p.m.

Silvertips set for second season
The Shellbrook Silvertips will be looking to start the season on a positive note as they take on the Birch Hills Blackhawks in their Beaver Lakes Hockey League season opener on home ice Friday night. The league has a new look heading into this year with a number of additions and subtractions. New to the league are the Blackhawks and the North Western Rebels while Whitefish was not reinstated and the Glaslyn Northstars have moved on to the Sask Prairie Hockey League. Meanwhile, the Silvertips expect to expect to contest for both the BLHL championship while also getting their first taste of provincial action in the Provincial C tournament. The puck drops Friday night at 8:30 p.m. in Shellbrook.
REMEMBERING WELL “Do this often in remembrance of me” 1Cor 11:25b. Jesus spoke these words to His disciples just hours before He gave His life for them. It seems that while we are not ever encouraged in the word of God to live in the past we are strongly encouraged by the Son of God Himself to take time to reflect on and take time to remember the past often ... One might even say to live well today and plan well for the future, you must remember well the past. With our Remembrance Day just past and this season still kind of being a time when we especially take time to remember the great cost that our privileges and freedoms were given to us at, one of the great things that “remembering” does for us is it reminds us to be thankful. In thankfulness we are then reminded of value which we often don’t take time to appreciate in our fast paced world. When we forget or take for granted the “values” of the things we enjoy and use all the time we tend not to protect them properly and all too easy the very things that we thought would always be there for us are stolen from us or simply just slip away. In the world you and I live in values are rapidly shifting and changing. Making “enough” money whatever that special amount may be has in many homes become more “valued” than sitting down as a family and having a meal together on a daily basis because everyone is going in different directions ... this is just one example of how things have changed. I wonder if it might be helpful to you and I today or sometime soon to take some time to sit down and consider what we value and make a plan of how we will show thankfulness for it and protect it so it is not stolen way and cannot just slip away. May God be with you and Bless you as you consider these thoughts today, Serving the Lord with Gladness Pastor John Slemming.

Bring in the Chicks for Winter By Sara Williams There’s still time before the snow falls to have a look at your hens and chicks and sedums outside and bring some indoors for a dish garden for your winter viewing pleasure. Plant them in a wide bur fairly shallow “dish” with excellent drainage. Likewise, the soil-less media should be of excellent drainage. Put it in a south-facing exposure where it will get plenty of light. And remember, these are exceptionally drought-tolerant genera. Go easy on the water and generous on the light. More and more sedums appear every year, each one with more variation of form and color than the previous. Many cultivars seem very similar, and there is some confusion about nomenclature. With some truth, my son used to comment, “You sedum one, you sedum all,” yet their charm remains. For an indoor dish garden, select from low-growing varieties. Outdoors, sedums are excellent as ground covers in hot, dry areas, in rock gardens, as edging, or as pavement plantings among flagstones or patio paving stones, and in containers. Butterflies are attracted by their nectar. The genus name is from the Latin word sedo, to sit, and alludes to the way in which these plants
sit on walls and rocks. A large group of mostly low (15–30 cm/6–12 in.), succulent perennials, sedums are valued as much for their foliage as for their flowers. Among the cultivars recommended for the prairies are: • evergreen stonecrop (Sedum hybridum), with glossy green leaves and yellow flowers in early summer • Ewer’s stonecrop (S. ewersii), with blue grey foliage and pink flowers in July • gold dust stonecrop (S. acre), only 8 cm (3 in.) tall, with masses of tiny leaves and tiny yellow flowers in late spring • Sedum kamtschaticum, with yellow flowers, 15 to 20 cm (6–8 in.) in height • Sedum kamtschaticum ‘Middendorffianum,’ which forms a clump of dark green leaves with yellow flowers • Sedum kamtschaticum ‘Variegatum,’ with attractive, green-and-white variegated leaves • Sedum reflexum, with blue-green, needle-like leaves and yellow flowers in midsummer • Sedum spurium, (dragon’s blood) with pink flowers and a low spreading habit, has a number of attractive cultivars: ‘Bronze Carpet,’ with bronze foliage; ‘Roseum’ with pink flowers and ‘Tricolor,’ with variegated

leaves • Sedum selskianum ‘Spirit’ (10 cm/4 in.) bright yellow star-like flowers • Sedum spurium ‘Voodoo’ – rosy flowers, deep red leaves • Sedum album ‘Muralo’ – light pink flowers, bronze leaves • Sedum cauticola ‘Lidakense’ - pink flowers, blue-green foliage • Sedum cyaneum ‘Rosel Carpet’ - deep pink flowers, blue-green foliage • ‘Angelina’ – yellow flowers, golden yellow foliage • ‘Elsie’s Gold’ – a dwarf ‘Autumn Joy’ with golden variegation and pink flowers Like the sedums, there have been many recent introductions (largely untested in terms of hardiness) of hens and chicks as these succulents become increasingly popular, especially for containers. The genus name, Sempervivum, means always alive and refers to the plant’s longevity and the belief that its presence on a rooftop would ward off fire and lightning. So entrenched was this belief that legislation once decreed that hens and chicks be planted on roofs as a sort of insurance. (I checked with my insurance broker but she wouldn’t go for the idea.) It is still found on roofs in Great Britain, hence the common name, house leek. It bears a close resemblance to a miniature artichoke (the hen) surrounded by even more diminutive artichokes (the chicks). It is monocarpic – meaning the “hen” dies after flowering but the “chicks” live on. It is grown primarily for its succulent evergreen foliage, which is seldom over a few centimeters (2 in.) high. In midsummer, however, it produces a weird, umbrella-shaped flower stalk with small, daisy-like flowers in white, cream or pink. Outdoors, plant in a hot, sunny location on poorer, well-drained soils. They are excellent in rock gardens, for edging, among paving stones, as ground covers in hot, dry locations, as well as in containers. Cultivars to select from include: • Sempervivum arachnoideum (cobweb) – pink flowers, green rosettes covered in cobweb like hairs • Sempervivum sobolifernum – pink flowers, green foliage • ‘Ashes of Roses’ – deep pink flowers, deep purple foliage with green accents and silver hairs • Sempervivum calca-

SOMMERFELD In loving memory of Perry Reynold Sommerfeld, August 7, 1961 - November 20, 2010. Our dear father, son and brother. Dear Dad, Gone are the days we used to share, But in our hearts you are always there, The gates of memory will never close, We miss you more than anyone knows, With tender love and deep regret, We who love you will never forget. - With all our love from your children Erica, Michael and Tessa. Dear Perry, We do not need a special day, To bring you to our mind, The days we do not think or you Are very hard to find. Each morning when we awake, We know that you are gone, And no one knows the heartache, As we try to carry on. Our hearts aches with sadness, And silent tears flow, What it meant to lose you, No one will ever know. - Sadly missed and forever loved Mom, Dad, Janet, Jamie, Rhonda and families.

Your backyard isn’t the only place that will turn into a rink when Canadian winter arrives. Our roads and highways are legendary for their degrees of difficulty during the colder months. “When winter hits, where you live and drive will have a big impact on the road conditions you face,” explains Bill Hume, vice-president of Hankook Tire Canada. “Canada is blessed with so many diverse landscapes, and while Canadians know they need a vehicle to suit their lifestyle, few know they need a tire that matches it as well.” When considering the right winter tire, you should take into consideration which of these categories best describes you and your family’s lifestyle. • Rural Driving: If you live in rural areas you know how tricky winter driving can be. Roads are often not salted and ploughed less frequently, while sudden heavy snow falls and flash freezes can turn your drive into a treacherous one. For rural drivers, aggressive studded snow tires are ideal for conquering the rough, frozen terrain. Keep in mind to check your local bylaws, as studded tires are illegal in some urban areas. • Commuter Driving: While highways are salted and ploughed regularly, you still need a winter tire that can deal with adverse conditions. Don’t be fooled by the promise of all-season tires, studies have shown that at -14 C all-season tires lose up to 60 per cent of their grip. As a commuter, winter tires are recommended. The high performance Hankook Winter i*cept evo offers excellent traction and performance while maintaining a quiet and smooth ride.

• Urban Driving: For those living in cities, where space comes at a premium, drivers often do not have room to store a second set of winter tires. Thanks to a new category of tires, ‘the all-weather’, drivers no longer need to sacrifice safety for convenience and space. All-weather tires feature next generation technology that do what traditional ‘all-season’ tires were meant to do: provide great traction year round while maintaining manoeuvrability and speed. Thanks to recent improvements in rubber compounds allweather tires provide improved traction on snow and ice, with minimal loss in year round performance and wear. A popular all-weather tire is the Hankook Optimo 4S. The Optimo 4S is marked with the mountain snow flake symbol for meeting and exceeding severe snow service requirements and qualifies as a winter tire in Quebec and New Brunswick, where the use of these tires is mandatory. Remember, your tires are the only four points of your car that touch the road, and you should put as much thought into those four points as you do into the rest of your car.
