Budget remains on track despite drop in oil price Saskatchewan remains on track to post a balanced budget in 2014-15. The Mid-Year Report released Thursday projects a yearend surplus of $70.9 million. “While the price of oil has fallen in recent weeks, it remained high for the first few months of the fiscal year, so overall, resource revenues are still projected to be ahead of budget this year,” Finance Minister Ken Krawetz said. “However, it now looks like we will start the 2015-16 Budget year with a lower oil price, which means our government will need to carefully manage spending.” Krawetz said the Saskatchewan economy remains strong despite the impact of falling oil prices
Santa, I’m right here! . . . Okay, maybe she wasn’t waving at Santa, but her parents certainly were in the audience at the annual Biggar Carol Festival, Tuesday at the Majestic Theatre. Kids took over on government revenues. “Right now, Saskatchewan has the strongest job growth and lowest unemployment rate in Canada,” Krawetz said. “Most of the new jobs are not in the resource sector. They are in other areas, which shows the importance of a strong,
diversified economy.” Total revenue for 2014-15 is now projected at $14.199 billion, up $126.4 million from budget. Projected revenue from non-renewable resources is up $59.5 million from budget. Higher potash revenue and Crown land

sales more than offset the projected revenue decrease in oil. Net income from Crown Corporations and other Government Business Enterprises including the insurance sector is up $183.8 million from budget, while revenue
from taxation, personal income tax, corporate income tax and tobacco is $145.3 million lower than expected at budget. Total expense for 2014-15 is now projected at $14.129 billion, up $126.9 million from budget. Much of this increase,
about $107 million, is attributable to projected costs related to disaster assistance for those affected by recent flooding. “Our government will continue working hard to keep Saskatchewan’s economy and its finances strong,” Krawetz said.
RCMP investigate farmyard invasion At approximately 10:45 p.m. on November 24, Unity RCMP were contacted by a Denzil area farmer who advised he had discovered three trucks in his yard. The farmer went over to confront the occupants of the vehicles and the vehicles fled the farmyard. During the course of the vehicles fleeing the yard, the farmer’s foot was driven over by one of the vehicles. Minutes later the vehicles were reported driving erratically in Macklin, and were then sighted near the hamlet of Evesham which is east of Macklin along Highway 14. At approximately the same time there was a report of a quad being stolen from a farmyard
near Highway 14 near Evesham. Unity RCMP members located the vehicles near the hamlet of Evesham and attempted to stop the vehicles. The drivers of the vehicles briefly stopped their vehicles before taking off with their lights off on Highway 14 eastbound at a high-rate of speed before heading in separate directions that posed a risk to other traffic on the highway. Battleford Police Dog Service and the surrounding detachments were notified, with Battlefords Rural members locating the suspect vehicles as they entered the Red Pheasant Cree Nation. The vehicles fled the Battlefords
members attempts to stop them. One of the trucks was abandoned and recovered on the Red Pheasant Cree Nation minutes later. The vehicle was determined to have been stolen from a farmyard in the Unity district along Highway 14, west of Unity. A Remington Model 750 .270-calibre hunting rifle was in the vehicle when it was stolen. The firearm was not in the vehicle when it was recovered. A 2012 white Chevrolet SLT 1500 was stolen and recovered west of Unity. The recovered 2012 SLT had bullet holes in the windshield believed to have been from the stolen hunting rifle. …see RCMP, cont. pg 16

The first win of the season for the Biggar Nationals came on home ice versus the Luseland/Dodsland Mallards, November 26. Strong play on the Nats part put the Mallards on their toes early in the game, blanking the visitors 6-zip until the third eventually finishing with the 6-2 win.
Strong showings from D-man Cody Danychuk (pic 1), recording an assist, while netminder Kirby Halcrow (2) faced 42 shots. Kyle Dilosa (3) was the Nat of the Night, posting the hat trick and an assist despite 10 minutes in the penalty box. (4) Steady play from
ain Kevin Fick and (5) Keaton Silvernagle kept the captain sure on the Mallards. Mallards (6) Derek Argue and (7) Gabe pressure Gardipy recorded points - a goal and an assist respectively. Clarke McNulty (8) put in a stellar game with four helpers, and Tyson Wuttunee (9) added with two assists. (Independent Photos by Kevin Brautigam)

Amendments to privacy legislation to improve protection of Health Information Health Minister Dustin Duncan Wednesday introduced legislative amendments that will strengthen the protection of personal health records and increase the accountability of trustees and employees in protecting those records. Trustees are individuals and organizations that have personal health information under their custody and control. These amendments result from government’s support of recommendations from the Health Records Protection Working Group. The group’s report, released in April 2014, included recommended changes to ‘The Health Information Protection Act (HIPA)’ to help enforce trustees’ responsibilities under the Act, to address possible gaps in the legislation, and to put a system in place to deal with the discovery of unsecured records. ”I’m confident these amendments will help strengthen the protection of personal health records and increase the accountability of trustees and employees in protecting those records,” Duncan said. “We take seriously the protection of privacy of personal health information of Saskatchewan residents.” “Not only will these changes fill a legislation gap that existed previously, they will also provide peace of mind for people in this province,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant said. “I would like to thank everyone involved for their hard work on this matter.” Amendments to HIPA include: • Strict liability offence: If records are found unsecured, the trustee responsible for the records would need to show they took all reasonable steps to prevent the abandonment. Sometimes called the “reverse onus” clause, this change will forgo a need to prove the trustee intended to abandon the records. • Individual offence for wilful disclosure of personal information:
This change will make it clear that HIPA offences for intentional disclosure of personal health information apply not only to trustees, but to individuals who are employees of trustees. • Snooping offence: A specific offence will be established for inappropriate use of personal health information by employees who access information without a need for that information. • Take control of abandoned records: A specific provision will be added to HIPA for a system to be put in place to quickly respond to a discovery of abandoned or unsecured records and to take control of the records. The government will examine the remaining recommendations made by the Health Records Protection Working Group, including

Government of Canada to maintain minimum grain volume requirements for railways Transport Minister Lisa Raitt and Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz Saturday announced that minimum grain volume requirements will be extended until March 28, 2015. This measure, initially introduced in March 2014, will help to maintain Canada’s reputation as a reliable supplier to world markets. “Our government continues to act to ensure that grain and
all commodities get to market in a timely manner,” said Ritz. “We continue to call on all parties in the grain supply-chain to work together to ensure the efficient movement of grain to markets through the winter.” The government has put in place volume requirements that are designed to move the remainder of last year’s crop along with this year’s crop and ensure
that the grain supply chain will return to normal operations. Ministers expect railways to provide reliable and predictable service to all shippers, all destinations, and throughout all corridors, as is their obligation as common carriers. “Our government has again acted to ensure the supply chain operates effectively in delivering Canadian grain to market,” explained Raitt.
“Railways, shippers and producers must work together and meet these new requirements.” Under the new Order in Council, which takes effect on November 30,
2014, Canadian National Railway Company and Canadian Pacific Railway Company must each move the following amounts of grain: …see Grain Volume pg 16

Christmas spirit is alive and will get you in the mood Those who attended the annual Carol Festival on Tuesday night were treated to some top notch entertainment. This is not a surprise as we all know the wealth of talent that lives in this community but it does bear repeating. Another mention -- the diversity of the performers. What a treat to hear the young singers from Big Rose Colony. From someone who is a descendant of German ancestors it was wonderful to hear the German rendition of Silent Night. I remember well my grandparents and parents singing the song. Of course, the cutest of all are the young children who never fail to delight. Both schools sent a contingent of talented singers. Some waving to family in the audience, some looking bored and others nervous about being on stage. It’s all part of the performance. As the weeks before Christmas unfold there are sure to be other opportunities to witness the talented individuals and groups in the area. Make sure you take advantage of them. It is sure to put you in the Christmas spirit. P.H.
Pipeline paranoia: Why all provinces should embrace expansion by Glen Hodgson, Senior Vice-President and Chief Economist Forecasting and Analysis It is abundantly clear that expanding U.S. oil and gas production is constraining the ability of the Canadian energy sector to sell into the American market. It has already happened in natural gas and much the same could happen in the oil market. U.S. oil production is up 80 per cent since 2010, reaching nine million barrels a day – at a time when U.S. oil demand is actually declining. Moreover, transportation bottlenecks are limiting Canada’s ability to move oil within – and beyond – North America. Approval of the Keystone XL pipeline project, which seems to have garnered new momentum since the U.S. midterm elections, would at least give Canadian oil suppliers enhanced access to the U.S. market. However, the inability to reach global customers is costing Canada’s energy suppliers billions in revenues due to the difference between world prices – whatever their level – and Canadian prices. The loss in energy revenues is felt by all parts of Canada and many sectors of the economy through the energy industry’s value chain. Federal and provincial governments are losing billions in royalties and corporate tax revenues every year. Oil producers have responded to the transportation bottleneck by increasing shipments by rail, but rail is not a realistic primary or longterm option. The Conference Board of Canada estimates that rail capacity for shipping oil would have to triple from its current potential to accommodate the projected increase in oil production. Without adding significant new rail capacity, rail lines across Western Canada will be choked. This bottleneck would put pressure on
rail infrastructure and other industries relying on bulk shipment – notably agricultural products – while raising serious public safety concerns, such as those brought into tragic view by the events in Lac-Mégantic in July 2013. Increased pipeline capacity, on the other hand, would provide significant economic gain, and all provinces and many sectors stand to benefit from enhanced access to global energy markets. Importantly, new pipeline capacity would lead to higher prices or “netbacks” for oil producers. With U.S. oil production continuing to climb, Canada cannot afford to be shut out of growth markets for energy, even in the face of uncertainties in global pricing. Four pipeline projects – Keystone XL, Trans Mountain Expansion Project, Energy East, and Northern Gateway – are being proposed for development. The Conference Board has assessed in detail the economic and financial impact of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project (TMEP), which would run from Edmonton to Burnaby, B.C. In our analysis, which uses well-established methodologies for gross domestic product and employment impacts, 108,000 person-years of employment would be created nationally over a 25-year period if the project proceeds. Total oil producer revenues and profits are projected to be $45-billion higher as a result of the TMEP, and governments would capture a third of the financial benefit of increased higher netbacks. Thus, TMEP would provide $14.7-billion in fiscal benefits over 20 years (combined royalties, provincial and federal corporate taxes), with federal income taxes alone accounting for $6.1-billion of that total. These benefits would arise regardless whether oil
production or investment increases beyond what is currently expected; the higher prices available in global markets alone would be enough to drive positive economic impacts for the Canadian economy. It must be noted that despite the potential significant economic benefits, there have been objections and protests against the development of Canadian energy production and shipping capacity. It is clear to us that Canadian suppliers need to earn and maintain a social licence to operate by investing continually in better technology and processes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate other negative environmental impacts. It is also evident that the environmental impact of energy production and consumption is a global challenge, and solutions need to be found globally – including policies and incentives that promote energy efficiency and encourage the development of energy sources with lower environmental impacts and GHG emissions. The hard truth, (one often ignored by critics of Canadian energy) is that someone will supply oil to meet global energy demand, even if Canada does not. In our view, it is to Canada’s advantage to find ways to capture its fair share of the global energy market. In short, pipelines appear to be the most viable way to get Canada’s oil to global markets. The economic benefits are shared across all regions and sectors. If oil pipeline capacity is not added that would allow Canadian producers to access blue water, and thus global energy markets, Canada will not capture the full economic and financial benefits associated with exploiting our non-renewable oil resources.

by Rick Garchinski The St. Gabriel School year would be considered ‘typical’ to most others in many ways. I welcomed enthusiastic students and staff back to school in September. Sports teams, school clubs are organized and get underway. It is an extremely positive environment to be immersed in. We generally are blessed with good weather and sunshine that keeps everyone smiling. Fall enters the scene – the weather cools and students are reminded that school is also about work and effort. Assignments become more challenging and more frequent . . . and exams need to be studied for. The discussions around upcoming Progress Conferences and Progress Reports reminds students to continue to challenge themselves – for some students it’s . . . oops, I need to start working harder. Our conferences and reports have been completed and delivered. Our students’ efforts have been acknowledged and they have reflected on their goals, or the creation of new goals. Students can take a breath. I consider this scenario typical of most schools in Saskatchewan. What is unique to St. Gabriel School as part of Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools is its
ability to provide a faithbased education. It is who we are; it is what we do. In our school you will see evidence to our belief that the spiritual aspect is an important component to our person. Last Sunday was the first Sunday of Advent. As a Catholic school we enthusiastically embrace the Advent season as we prepare for Christmas. We begin lighting our Advent Candles, our daily readings and the hanging of symbols on our Jesse Tree remind our students to ‘Keep Christ
in Christmas’. We are blessed to be able to share the gift of music with our students. This is never more obvious than in preparation for our annual Christmas Concert. This year’s production, “Dear Santa – A Musical ‘Tweet’ for Christmas”, will be presented on Thursday, December 18. Planning and preparation has begun. It will be a busy few weeks with school work and practicing lines, songs, gathering costumes, props, and completing other details.
Outta My Mind – St. Gabriel School
Although schedules will be disrupted to accommodate rehearsals, and “practice . . . practice . . . practice” can often bring about challenges to keep young students motivated, the concert will come together and the students will do a fabulous job in their efforts to ‘Keep Christ in Christmas’. These next three weeks of school will provide us with an extremely focused period. I look forward to immersing myself in it.

Meanwhile in Ottawa at Parliament the decking of the halls is a major task. Trees - 39 of them - adorn various halls in the buildings. The 20 foot tree in the foyer of the House of Commons is the largest. When lit up it is a sight to see with its 14,000 LED lights twinkling throughout the season.

Now I lay me Old Tex and I slept out last night, We made our camp, as darkness fell. By Eagle Rapids churning white, Beneath their cut-bank sentinel. Upon a meadow, green and small I staked him to a willow tree And let the heavy saddle fall Beside my bedroll wearily. And soon, with dreamy campfire done, My head upon the saddle seat, Alarm clock set by rising sun, At last I lay me down to sleep. The Cricket in the grass was glad, The Hoot-owl hailed us from the height, Content with everything we had, Old Tex and I slept out last night! After sitting here for a while, waiting for that ever-tardy muse to show up, Yours Truly, in his frustration, checked way back in his ledgers to see if he had written about things like this before, and found that 10 years ago, The Independent had
.
printed a piece entitled “Bob Mason Slept Here!” It never crossed his mind (it’s a short trip across Y.T.’s mind anyway) that such a title would steal anyone else’s smoke, so he made a long list of oddball places he has slept, in the last 80-some years – and
only used half of them! Seeing that “Thalia”, “Euterpe” (or whatever her name is!) has taken a holiday, here, with my apologies, is part of the other half, okay? This probably sounds like old stuff to anyone who happens to read this, but although it must have been 80-some years ago, it only seems like it happened yesterday. How come our lives can’t be like that all the time, eh? How come that this growing up into the world rat race can’t be that nice? Mother came around the corner of our house and saw me sitting there basking in the sun: “Come in out of the sun, Bobby,” she half scolded. “If you stay there all afternoon you’ll have a sunstroke!” Mebbe she was right, I dunno, but I do know that, sunstroke or not, sitting there, half leaning against the south side of our home, basking in the summer sun, was one of the most memorable moments of my life! Y.T. doesn’t remember what happened next. He got up and went into the house, I guess, but as he walked in, he left that part of his life behind!

Seeing that Y.T. is telling about the places he has slept, he must tell about four of us youngsters sleeping in a bed, during a family reunion at Meeting Lake. It never occurred to us that we should complain about the lack of accommodation, we just rushed out, come morning, dipped our toes into the cool waves, splashed in and enjoyed every minute of it! Years later, Y.T. almost felt discriminated against when his Colonel grumbled about the clean Dutch bed that he had to lie on! On the other hand Captain Day asked me to share a broken down couch! I suppose a fellow could tell about some of the odd-fangled places he has slept while out here in Saskatchewan. Like the rainy night he slept outdoors, or the group of us that slept in our hayfort during a family reunion. But so could everybody else! For what it is worth (and
it sure as heck isn’t worth very much!) a guy could mention a few unusual things that we saw while in the forces: • Sleeping in the aisle of a train in England (when there was an aisle!) was something else! The conductor went walking right on top of men, as though they weren’t there! • And just this side of Veen (in the Rhineland), a whole row of guys who attacked the town just in front of us, were lying there as though they were
by Kim Inglis, BCom, CIM, PFP, FCSI, AIFP, Investment Advisor and Portfolio Manager Canaccord Wealth Management For the third year in a row, Canadians have been more philanthropic than the year previous. According to the most recent BMO Charitable Giving Poll, 84 per cent of Canadians made a charitable donation in the past 12 months with the average gift being $624 an increase of 8 per cent from 2013. And, Canadians want this generosity to continue its upward trend. When asked about their 2015 plans, 90 per cent expect to make donations totaling $720. Interestingly, many also use their philanthropy as a teaching tool. Another 2014 survey, commissioned by Imagine Canada, examined both generosity and attitudes about charitable donations. It found that onethird of donors wanted to set an example for their children or others about the importance of giving back. While these data all bode well for the less fortunate, giving can also help the charitable organizations and donors. Cash donations are still the most popular way of giving, but both charity and donor
can benefit from more tax efficient ways of achieving their philanthropic goals. Gifting publicly listed securities, such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds to registered charities is one way. A donor who sells the shares of appreciated securities, and donates the cash, is taxed on capital gains. However, if the shares are donated directly, the charity issues a tax receipt based on the fair market value of the securities. The charity gets the full value of the shares and the donor gets a full value tax credit without the imposition of capital gains taxes. Efficient philanthropy is also achievable with RSPs, where the donor names a charity as beneficiary of their registered plan. On death, the balance of the plan transfers directly to the charity, and the estate receives a tax credit for the value on disposition. This can offset taxes on final income and effectively bypass probate fees. Flexibility is another advantage because the donor can change the beneficiary if circumstances change.

The hush of night across the land, The gentle hooves upon the sod, At peace we curled in natures hand, No! Really in the hand of God!

Financial Advice to make a positive difference mulated dividends and interest. The resulting tax credit can be applied to a final tax return. Donor Advised Fund funds set up endowments wherein the donor makes an irrevocable contribution of cash and other assets, which are invested to maximize the worth of the donation and increase its value. Investors can set grant recommendations and choose which registered charities receive donations. In return they are provided with an immediate tax benefit that can be carried forward up to five years, and they have a continuing philanthropic legacy. Those wishing to donate to a charity but still needing income can use a Charitable Remainder Trust. Assets are transferred into a trust and the donor gets an immediate tax benefit. The donor receives lifetime income and the charity receives the assets when the donor dies.

Christmas is just around the corner, and already people are wondering about what wondrous things they might discover under the tree. How appropriate that the Morph mechanic, recently returned to standard, can bring a different type of mystery and anticipation to the table. Morph allows you to play a card face down as a 2/2 colourless creature with no abilities or creature types for the low, low cost of 3 colourless mana. At any time you have priority, you can flip your Morph face up to reveal what it is, at a speed that your opponent can not re-
act to. It should be noted that cards that do things when flipped up, such as Ponyback Brigade, said effect is a trigger, which can be responded to even if the act of flipping can not. Ferocious, on the other hand, is the clan mechanic for the Temur. It is a trigger that checks if you control a creature with power 4 or greater, and if you do, you will get extra value out of the card with the trigger. It is important to remember that Ferocious checks upon resolution of the spell or effect, thus if you were to cast Crater’s Claws with a Bloodfire Expert in play (a 3/1 with
Prowess), the Prowess trigger would have resolved making the Expert a 4/2 in time for the Ferocious trigger to check and give you an extra 2 damage to use against target creature or player. With the basic overview of the mechanics out of the way, this brings us to December’s deck! Morph-town Creatures: 4x Icefeather Aven (UG), 3x Temur Charger (1G), 3x Ashcloud Phoenix (2RR), 4x Mystic of the Hidden Way (4U), 3x Pine Walker (3GG), 4x Sagu Mauler (4UG), 1x Snowhorn Rider (3URG).

At first glance this deck has an atrocious mana curve, and that would be true if not for the fact that every single creature in this deck has Morph. There will be plenty of times when playing a creature face-up will be the correct choice, as a turn two Icefeather Aven can provide you with much needed early game pressure, and a turn two Temur Charger threatens most early game blockers.

More acres=more $ . . . and more loss when things go wrong by Calvin Daniels
The evolution of farming is amazing, startling, crazy, and scary. You can pick the word which best suits your view, but regardless, things on the farm have
changed a lot since our forefathers first arrived on the Canadian Prairies, taking 160-acres of virgin land, and began to carve out a living for themselves and their families.
AUCTION
BOB CAMPBELL AUCTION SALE SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2014 10:00 a.m. - MacPherson Hall, 127 - 1st Ave. E., Biggar, SK Featuring: Wood working tools, shop tools, Antiques, Furniture, Household, Wood Working Manuals, Variety of Books, Yard and Miscellaneous Items.
I still find it difficult how a mere 160-acres could sustain a family, especially in an era when families often hit double digits in terms of children but it did. But the quarter section farm was a short-lived thing. From the end of the First World War until now, farms have trended ever-larger. The reasoning has always boiled down to the belief that with added acres comes an economy of scale. To a point that makes sense. The cost of iron; tractors, seeders and combines, have always been significant to a farm operation, and there was a sense in trying to maximize the acres covered to in essence extend those costs over more acres. But that reasoning has long ago maxed out, and most farms today have
more than one large tractor, one combine, one seeder unit. And still farm size grows. Maybe nowhere, at least on the Canadian Prairies has the growth been any more significant than in the case of Broadacre Agriculture which recently requested bankruptcy protection. Broadacre was incorporated in 2010 as a company with a mandate to purchase large tracts of land and exploit the aforementioned economies of scale. The goal was to farm more than 200,000 acres, but had amassed only
9,000 acres of owned and 56,000 acres of leased land in Saskatchewan, when it filed for protection under the weight of some $14 million in debt. The issue with farms of such scale is twofold. To begin with there is a need for new management skills that are not easily found. The sheer scale of dealing with cropping rotations, timely seeding, spraying and similar incrop operations, mass marketings of grains, and even finding staff, change the dynamics of a farm of such size. The second issue is cash flow. A downturn in prices,
a sub-par crop, or other factors can impact any farm’s bottom line. But the more acres and bushels involved the greater the gross dollars. A thousand acre farm losing $50 an acre is $50,000 and while substantial to the operator is not a threatening amount to the money lender. That same $50 loss per acre on the Broadacre $3.25 million, and a lender gets antsy. A 200,000-acre farm would be $10 million in the red. Overcoming those two issues will be the limiting factor in terms of viable farm size.
“I have a concern about firearms. Who can I call?” Firearms are present in an estimated 17 per cent of Canadian households. There are almost eight million firearms in Canada (or about two firearms for every 10 people). The majority of Canadian firearm owners have long guns, which they use for hunting, sport and wildlife control. “Firearms in the home must be stored safely,” says Canada Safety Council president Jack Smith. The Canada Safety Council recommends locking the firearms in a cabinet, container or room that is difficult to break into, and storing the ammunition separately.” If you have firearms in your home, or if you’re visiting someone who does, Smith advises you to make sure safe storage practices are in place. Dr. Alan Drummond, with the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians, says long guns are a major concern for doctors in rural areas where firearm ownership is more common. “As a rural emergency

physician and coroner, I have seen my share of accidental injuries and deaths inflicted by rifles and shotguns,” he says. In his community of Perth, Ontario, he finds that incidents of firearm deaths and injuries increase in situations where an unsafely stored gun is readily available. The rate of firearms deaths in Canada has been falling year by year. In 2001, there were 837 firearms related deaths, or 2.70 per 100,000 Canadians. In 2011, the last year for which statistics are available, 679 Canadians died from shootings. Despite a growing population, that’s 158 fewer deaths, and the rate was 2.03
per 100,000 – a 25 per cent drop compaired to 2001. For safety reasons, Canadian firearms regulations require gun owners to be properly trained and licensed. The law also requires firearms to be safely stored when not in use. Safe storage includes keeping guns unloaded and locked, with ammunition stored separately or locked up. Firearms licences can be denied or revoked if there are public safety concerns and risks. In 2013, the Canadian Firearms Program refused 886 firearms licence applications and revoked 2,497 firearms licences.
Firearms storage safety tips Ensure firearms are unloaded at all times when stored. Store ammunition separately or lock it up. Ammunition can be stored in the same locked container as the firearms. Non-restricted firearms: Attach a secure locking device, such as a trigger lock or cable lock (or remove the bolt) so the firearms cannot be fired; or Lock the firearms in a cabinet, container, or room that is difficult to break into. Restricted and prohibited firearms: Attach a secure locking device so the firearms cannot be fired and lock them in a cabinet, container or room that is difficult to break into; or Lock the firearms in a vault, safe or room that was built or modified specifically to store firearms safely. For automatic firearms, also remove bolts or bolt carriers (if removable) and lock them in a separate room that is difficult to break into.

Chef Dez on cooking
Kitchen gadgets and appliances
Due to a couple of revelations I have had with my food processor recently, I thought it would be appropriate to focus this column on kitchen gadgets and appliances that I find worthy. Also with the holiday season approaching, you find these recommendations helpful. I usually opt for the manual alternative to kitchen prep - old-fashioned cutting by hand and elbow grease - but sometimes it is not always the best way. Recently, my wife wanted to make a dish from her childhood that basically consists of layers of thinly sliced potatoes, carrots, and other vegetables. These ingredients along with seasonings and chunks of sausage are cooked together to create a single pot casserole. When it came time to prepare this dish, the die-hard Chef in me reached for my knife, readying myself for the task at hand. “Why don’t we use the slicer attachment on our food processor?” exclaimed my wife. After some convincing, I decided to give it a try and was quite impressed with the uniform slices and ease of preparation. To be honest it was the first time in the 15 years that I owned this food processor that I actually used the slicer attachment. I have also discovered (with subtle pressuring from my wife) that the regular blade of a food processor can also ease the preparation of finely chopping vegetables, as long as caution is used to prevent from pureeing

Biggar Main Street, 1938. Snow, snow, and more snow, but a moody and Christmas-infused look at our
them into oblivion. A hand-powered kitchen appliance that I love is my all-in-one apple peeler, corer and slicer. A lip on the edge of ones counter is not necessary as it simply suctions to the surface with amazing strength. A single apple is pressed on to the hand-crank and all of these tasks are completed with a number of circular revolutions - perfect to speed up pie/crumble making. And the best part is that I purchased mine in brand new condition at a second hand store for only five dollars. For small hand tool gadgets, there are a few that I simply cannot (or more correctly, would rather not) live without. Olive Pitter - This tool resembles a pair of springloaded pliers. It has a circular base to hold an olive on one of the ends, and a prod on the other. When squeezed together, the prod inserts into the olive and pushes the pit through the opposite side. It works great on cherries too. Garlic Press - I have gone through many poorly made garlic presses in the past, but there is one brand that has never let me down. I highly recommend the Switzerland made “Zyliss” brand. I have literally crushed thousands of cloves with this brand, for the past six years, without fail. Melon Baller - Great for its intended purpose of creating bite-size balls of melon, but works just as well on cheeses and an assortment of fruits and vegetables. Caramelized balls of potato, for example, makes for an appealing side dish. Although I do tend to be a bit stubborn when it comes to letting go of my knife skills for a gadget or appliance, the time saved in these circumstances is well worth the loss of Chef’s pride. Dear Chef Dez: I noticed that many Chefs on TV use a flat grater that lies across a bowl to remove zest from citrus fruits. Is the best way to do this? Charlotte E. Surrey, B.C.
Dear Charlotte: I actually recommend using a “zester”. It is a hand tool that has five little circular blades at the end. When it is dragged across a citrus fruit, it produces beautiful curls of zest while leaving the bitter pith behind. Although flat graters remove the zest in small bits, and thus prevent further chopping, there is no guarantee that one will not grate too far into the bitter white pith. Besides, the curls of zest make great garnish! Send your food/cooking questions to dez@chefdez.com or P.O. Box 2674, Abbotsford, BC V2T 6R4.

The Sky This Month - December 2014 by Gary Boyle, The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada The River Eridanus
Eridanus the River is a long but narrow constellation found at this time of year above the southern horizon or at least its top half as seen from Canada. Starting close to the celestial equator, the entire asterism stretches down almost 60 degrees. Unlike the brilliant suns of the constellation Orion to the left, Eridanus lacks any bring stars and only range in brightness from magnitude 3.2 to 5.0 except for magnitude 2.9 Cursa. They are however unique in their individual life stories. Case in point is the star named Azha shining at magnitude 3.9. With a luminosity of 67 times that of our Sun, Azha is a spectral K-type orangey coloured giant star that has stopped fusing its fuel of hydrogen and is swelling up to become a red giant. As the fusing process continues to heavier and heavier elements and Azha grows in size, it will begin to cast off its outer layers and create a spectacular planetary nebula like the famous Ring Nebula. Azha is estimated to be
130 light years away. The stars that we see in the night sky are much hotter than a typical pizza oven and range from 54,000 degrees for the “O5” type stars down to 2,700 degrees for the “M8” type stars. Our Sun is a yellow G2 star is pretty well the middle of the scale at 5,800 degrees. The hottest star in Eridanus is Lambda Eridani. Located an estimated 1,750 light years from us Lambda shines as blue-white spectral B2 sun, and is burning at 23,000 degrees. Its radius is thought to be 12 times that of our Sun and shines 39,000 times more brilliant. The only planetary nebula visible is NGC 1535. Referred at Cleopatra’s Eye, the planetary seems to reside an estimated distance of 5,200 light years and looks a lot like the famous Eskimo Nebula. The central star is difficult to observe visually. This stellar corpse is located four degrees east of Zaurak, a red giant M class star some 221 light years from us. Visual observations of Zaurak will give you the impression of a double star system but this sun is a lone wolf and only appears a double by line of sight with another star.
Here are a couple double stars to check out. 32 Eridani is made up of a magnitude 4.8 G8 yellow star and a 6.1 A1 blue star. This very close pair is only separated by 6.9 arc seconds. 32 Eridani is located to the top of the constellation border. Then we have 53 Eridani that consists of magnitude 3.9 and 6.9 companions with a challenging separation. 53 Eridani can be found six degrees east of the planetary nebula NGC 1535 referred to earlier. There is a wealth of galaxies either in the single variety of in groups. The nicest collection is a half a dozen within a two degree field. The members are NGCs 1439, 1426, 1415, 1401 1395 and 1421. Only NGC 1439 and NGC 1426 are round elliptical galaxies, the rest are elongated in structure. They lie around the 100 million light year range. Another trio of elongated beauties lie close to magnitude 4.1 Nu Eridani. Catalogued as NGCs 1618, 1622 and 1625, they are a bit farther at about 110 million light years and are magnitude 13.5, 13.9 and 13.1 respectively. The mighty planet Jupiter is now rising above
the eastern horizon just before 10 p.m. locally at the beginning of the month and by a half hour earlier each week afterwards. If you are still not sure if that bright object is the King of Planets, Jupiter is north of the waxing gibbous moon on Dec. 11. The planet Venus on the other hand is very low in the western sky and is slowing climbing out of the solar glare and should be visible by the end of December. C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy) was discovered in August of this year is now down in the southern hemisphere but is heading north. It will swing closest by the Earth on Jan. 7 where it comes within .469 astronomical units (au) from us and closest to the Sun on Jan. 30, 2015 at a distance of 1.29 au. So you still have a few weeks to plan observing and photographing it. The Geminid meteor shower is the only meteor shower list for this month. This is the finest shower of the entire year that displays a good number of slow moving meteors.
Showers are usually produced by material cast off of comets as they round the Sun. In the case of the Geminids, asteroid 3200 Phaethon is the parent object. Clear you calendar for the show from the night of Dec. 13 into the morning of the 14th. Dress warm and head for dark country skies away from light pollution. This shower produces 120 meteors per hours moving at a mere 35 km/sec. Winter Solstice begins
on Dec. 21 at 23:03 UT marking the first day of winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the south. Solstice means the Sun stands still. From here on the nights will begin to shorten up with longer days. The full cold moon will occur at 12:07 UT on Dec. 6 and the last new moon (lunation 11:38) for this year on Dec 22 at 1:36 UT. Until next month, clear skies everyone.
