Cops…Embezzlement… Hitmen…Innocence By Laura Kish thecitizen@sasktel.net

This play had it all! A comedy that combines all the elements of classic farce. Corning Community Players presented “Unnecessary Farce”, a three-act play by Paul Slade Smith, presented with permission from Playscripts, Inc. and directed by Mary Jane Gentes with help from Stage Directors Donna Allan and Tammy King. Lyle McCarthy acted as emcee during the Pub Night on their opening night, Nov. 1st. Dinner Theatres were held as well on Nov. 2, 3, 7, 8 and 9. The play takes place in two economy motel rooms, divided by an imaginary wall. The Cop Room – Stage Right and The Sting Room – Stage Left. In a cheap motel room, an embezzling mayor is supposed to meet with his female accountant. In the room next door, two undercover cops wait to catch the meeting on videotape. But there’s some confusion as to who’s in which room, who’s watching the video, who’s taken the money, who’s hired a hit man, and why the accountant keeps taking off her clothes. The laugh-out-loud comedy has everything one can hope for in a modern-day farce: two likeable cops operating way out of their league, a supposedly crooked mayor with impeccable timing, his innocent-acting wife, a shy accountant with a penchant for dropping her drawers, a nervous double agent who’s like to get IN those drawers, a Scottish hit man whose brogue gets thicker the angrier he gets, two adjoining hotel rooms, simmering sexual tension and eight doors a slammin’. Eric Sheridan (John King) a police officer out of his element and Billie Dwyer (Monica Dayman) also a police officer, Eric’s partner, who is excitable and extremely unthreatening are both on the job to bring down the mayor for

embezzlement. “This is the day that I become a cop!” says a pretty excited Billie (Monica). This is the biggest police investigation in history in the town. Kienen Piper’s portrayal of the mild-mannered mayor … is a charmer especially when he thinks he is watching hotel porn. Mark Mytopher is comically and completely natural as the bad guy Scottish villain. As special service agent Frank … Trustyn McKay admirably heightens the comic tension Karen Brown (Amanda Reid) an accountant, who has always taken pride in her accountant-like, professional demeanor – until that morning. Mayor Meekly (Kienen Piper) an innocent, not too quick on the pick-up, but a sweet, sweet soul. Agent Frank (Trustyn McKay) Head of Security at Town Hall, and frankly, the wrong man for the job. He is frequently a man frightened by his own shadow. Todd (Mark Mytopher) a professional hit man. Speaks with a pronounced Scottish accent. The angrier he becomes the thicker the accent becomes, until he is entirely indecipherable. Mary Meekly (Amber McKay) the Mayor’s stepmother. Small in stature and unfailingly sweet. #2 Karen and Eric talking about their night before “Take me … take me now.” Karen has to get the mayor to confess to embezzling 16 million dollars. Karen gives a code word if she wants the police to come rescue her “It’s getter warm in here or it’s hot in here.” #3 Karen and Eric #4 Monica sees Karen and Eric on the video Karen asks the mayor about the budget The mayor needs to be properly escorted by security Frank secures the room #5 Agent Frank finds Eric in the closet

The 10th Anniversary of Saskatchewanderer With nearly 100,000 social media fans across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, the Saskatchewanderer is a ‘must follow’ for residents and tourists. As the program approaches its tenth year, the search is on for the new Saskatchewanderer to promote our province to the world in 2020. “ T h e Saskatchewanderer program brings attention to a range of industries and businesses in the province and highlights why Saskatchewan is a great place to operate a business, build a career and raise a family,” Minister Responsible for Tourism Saskatchewan and Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Gene Makowsky said. “I

am pleased this program continues to be a successful and effective marketing tool, showcasing all our province offers.” Zane Buchanan, the 2019 Saskatchewanderer, brought his gift of writing and storytelling to the position. As a born Saskatchewanian, who was living in Toronto, he jumped at the opportunity to return to the province to become the 2019 S a s k a t c h e w a n d e r e r. Throughout the year, Zane showcased the province with fresh eyes, often commenting about how proud he was of his home province. “My term as the Saskatchewanderer is unlike anything I have done or will do in my life,”

Zane said. “I saw and learned more than most people get to in a lifetime – and all within the confines of the province I (now more than ever) am proud to call home. Although I’m sad to be passing the torch, I’m looking forward to taking the perspective gained from this experience and applying it to whatever else comes my way.” In 2020, the program will be refreshed and will align with the Plan for Growth to build strong communities, families and a stronger Saskatchewan by focusing on small business, investment and entrepreneurs in the tourism industry. Each applicant is required to shoot, edit and submit their own original video explaining why they should become the next Saskatchewanderer. Applications will be accepted until noon on Friday, December 20, 2019 at www.saskatchewanderer.ca/apply.

Plans announced for CP Holiday Train By Devin Wilger Staff Writer The Christmas season calls for good cheer, and CP Rail and the City of Yorkton are bringing a train filled with it. The CP Holiday Train is coming to the city on Dec. 4, and bringing with it a major boost to the local Salvation Army Food Bank. The star of the show is naturally the Holiday Train itself, which will roll into the city at 12:05 p.m., with a free concert performance by Madeline Merlo and Scott Helman. It will be parked at Livingstone St. and 4th Ave. South for the concert. In Yorkton, there will be events surrounding the train’s arrival. Hot dogs and hot chocolate will be available at the event, with the Salvation Army cooking hot dogs, with the help of YBID and Save-On Foods. Connected to the train’s overall goal of helping out food banks across the country, attendees will be encouraged to bring a donation of food to the

Lieutenant Samuel Tim with the Salvation Army and Randy Goulden with Tourism Yorkton announce CP Holiday Train events. food bank to the concert. Yorkton Hyundai will be handling all transportation for food donations as part of their Pack the Palisade food drive. They hope that the vehicles will be full by the end of the day. Cloud Nine Coaches will handle transportation of sponsors and contest winners to Bredenbury to ride the train.

“Without the community support, we could not do this,” said Randy Goulden with Tourism Yorkton. The festivities will continue at the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery with a film presentation by the Yorkton Film Festival, playing the Rocky Mountain Express at 2:30 p.m. Goulden said it’s a chance to come in, warm up, and learn a bit

about the history of rail in Canada. Goulden said that the best part of the CP Holiday Train is that it brings people to downtown Yorkton, shopping at local businesses, and seeing all of the things the city has to offer. The train stopped in the city for the first time in 2017, and Goulden said that it was a challenge to

get it to make a Yorkton stop and on the two-year cycle. The problem? There is not actually a railway siding in the city, making it difficult to stop here. It also disrupts rail traffic in the area, as it not only takes up the CP Rail line, but also blocks the CN line when in town. Goulden said that they fought to get the CP Holiday Train into the city, and work out the logistical problems that it comes with, because they wanted to bring people to the city’s downtown and they want to support the Salvation Army Food Bank in the city. “We know that there are always families in need, and the Salvation Army does such a wonderful job making sure there are things to eat and, at this time of year, toys for the children to receive under the Christmas tree. I think that’s very important, because we’re a population here in Saskatchewan of sharing what we have with people here who may not be as fortunate.” Lieutenant Samuel Tim

with the Yorkton Salvation Army said that they are grateful for the opportunity to partner on the project, and are looking forward to making sure people are well-fed and comfortable for the concert. The 2017 event made a major impact to the Food Bank, both with a financial contribution from CP Rail and all of the food donated, and Tim said the community support allowed them to do more than they could otherwise. As the Salvation Army prepares for the event, Tim said that their goal is to make sure there’s a Christmas for everyone in the community, with food and toys for families in Yorkton. The CP Holiday Train is one event that will help them bring joy on Christmas. “There’s always joy. You can recall when you were young, and you rushed down to unwrap your gifts and toys. That’s why we want to make sure Christmas comes for everyone in the community.”

know what our life was before diabetes. We have to watch everything he puts in his mouth but it has gotten easier as we understand it more,” she said. Erickson uses a Dexcom meter that is placed on his arm. It has a Bluetooth feature that sends accurate and immediate results of his blood sugar reading to his phone that is linked with his parents’ phones. The patch that monitors his blood sugar changes every 10 days and the family still does the poke blood test system as a back-up. He is on two separate types of insulin, Humalog (fast acting) which is taken three times a day and Lantus (long lasting) which is only given once at bedtime. “He will have this the rest of his life but we re not going to let it slow him down,” stated Erickson. He is currently attending Preeceville Nursery School with an education assistant assigned to him to aid him in monitoring his blood sugar until he is old enough to do it himself. His grandmother Judy Stolar spends weekdays caring for him but on weekends travels back to her home in Melville. The theme for diabetes awareness month and World Diabetes Day, November 14, was Family and Diabetes stated the diabetes website.

Blake Erickson, a four year-old Preeceville resident, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes after he had become extremely sick. His parents Josh and Erin Erickson were distraught when their son had to be rushed to the hospital and air lifted to Saskatoon Royal University Hospital after the diagnosis. In honour of World Diabetes Day, Erickson spoke to his mother’s Grade 4 class in Preeceville about the disease and explained everything he knows about it. “ I have diabetes and have to watch what I can eat and how to read my phone that monitors everything,” he said. Through books and favorite stuffed animals Erickson has a good understanding of this disease. “When he first became sick we had originally thought he had the flu as the symptoms are similar,” said his mom. “He was using the bathroom a lot more and drinking a lot. When he quickly became more ill we were rushed to Saskatoon where we spent one week in the hospital getting educated to this disease. The Diabetes Living Well Clinic helped us to understand it and what we had to do for the health of our son. It was and has been a huge lifealtering difference. The change has not been easy but now after two years of living with it we don’t

Families are urged to learn more about the warning signs of diabetes and find out their risk of Type 2 diabetes. Research conducted by IDF in 2018 discovered that parents would struggle to spot this serious life-long condition in their own children. Despite the majority of people surveyed having a family member with diabetes, an alarming four-in-five parents would have trouble recognising

the warning signs. One in three wouldn’t spot them at all. The findings underline the need for education and awareness to help people spot the diabetes warning signs early. There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. Both types of diabetes are chronic diseases that affect the way the body regulates blood sugar, or glucose. Glucose is the fuel that feeds the body’s cells, but to enter cells it needs a key. Insulin is that key. People with Type 1 diabetes don’t produce insulin. The body’s immune system is responsible for

fighting off foreign invaders, like harmful viruses and bacteria. In people with Type 1 diabetes, the immune system mistakes the body’s own healthy cells for foreign invaders. The immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. After these beta cells are destroyed, the body is unable to produce insulin. People with Type 2 diabetes don’t respond to insulin as well as they should and later in the disease often don’t make enough insulin. People with Type 2 diabetes have insulin resistance. The body still produces insulin, but it’s

unable to use it effectively. Researchers aren’t sure why some people become insulin resistant and others don’t, but several lifestyle factors may contribute, including excess weight and inactivity. There’s no cure for Type 1 diabetes. People with Type 1 diabetes don’t produce insulin, so it must be regularly injected into the body. Some people take injections into the soft tissue, such as the stomach, arm, or buttocks, several times per day. Other people use insulin pumps. Insulin pumps supply a steady amount of insulin into the body through a small tube. Blood sugar testing is an essential part of managing Type 1 diabetes, because levels can go up and down quickly. Type 2 diabetes can be controlled and even reversed with diet and exercise alone, but many people need extra support. If lifestyle changes aren’t enough, a doctor may prescribe medications that help a person use insulin more effectively. Monitoring blood sugar is an essential part of diabetes management because it’s the only way to know if target levels are being met. Doctors may recommend testing blood sugar occasionally or more frequently. If blood sugar is high, doctors may recommend insulin injections, concluded the information.

Duck Mountain Coffee Roasting Company makes fresh roasted coffee beans available in area Courtesy of Kamsack Times

the Duck Mountain Coffee Roasting Company, and have their product for sale at different outlets in the area. During the summer months, their coffee beans were stocked and sold at the Friends of Madge Lake (FOML) cottage store known as Treats and Treasures, located in the

A couple who currently resides in Regina has begun selling their own freshly-roasted coffee beans in the area, and someday hope to be able to call this area home. Deanna and Rod Ratcliffe own and operate

Duck Mountain Provincial Park. The couple also had their beans at the Waves Ice Cream & Mini Golf store and Pickerel Point Concessions in the Park, and at Natural Reflexions Market located east of Kamsack on Hwy No. 57. “We now have Lorne’s Butcher Block as a place for people to purchase the

coffee in Kamsack,” said Deanna recently. The Ratcliffes have friends living at Duck Mountain, and when they first came out for a visit over 10 years ago, they “fell in love with the area,” and purchased property just outside of the Park boundary. Currently, they are both self-employed in Regina. Deanna owns and operates the Regina Equestrian Centre Ltd., located on Pinkie Road, and has for the past 25 years. “I started the business along with my family at age 19, and services include riding lessons, summer day camps, therapeutic programs and clinics.” Rod is the main arti-

san roaster at the couple’s roastery located in Regina. “After travelling to Banff, Alta., to learn the technique from a coffee roasting company located there, the idea of starting our own roastery came to life,” said Deanna. “We sold our very first roasted coffee in the beginning of May this year,” she said. “All of our beans are 100 per cent Arabica Brazilian. Beans from different regions roast differently, giving off different aromas and flavours. “Coffee made from freshly roasted beans is truly a flavour experience that is hard to describe,” she continued. “Suffice it to say, the flavour is completely different from

beans that are purchased at the store. And the smell of the beans while they are being roasted is amazing. Our product is hand roasted and packaged, making it fresh as you can get. “We had a very successful summer, and the response from the community exceeded our expectations,” she said. “We are very excited about continuing to market our product in the area, and continue to promote this area of the province.” The couple believe the old-fashioned fresh roasted system will be what will keep their customers coming back repeatedly for the flavour experience that can only come from fresh roasted beans.

Rod and Deanna Ratcliffe had a coffee stand set up at the Natural Reflexions Market earlier this summer.

Just in time for hockey season, the square footage was increased and the mechanical system was brought up to code in the kitchen at the Canora Civic Centre.

A new feature has been added for the new curling season at the Canora Curling Club, with house cameras positioned for each sheet so spectators can keep on top of the action much the same as watching TV with a straight down view of the house.

Canora Leisure Services completes updates Courtesy of The Canora Courier Canora Leisure Services has made the transition into winter activities for the 2019/20 season. Just in time for the skating season, the Canora Civic Centre saw its ice lighting retrofitted to LED, said Aaron Herriges, director of leisure services, Town of Canora. “The change not only results in better arena lighting, but we now have the ability to turn the lights on and off without warm up or cool down time. The change will cut operating costs to approximately one third compared to previous years,” said Herriges. “That’s big savings over a six-month period. Crossroads Credit Union and Canora Ag Society contributed $5,000 and $2,500 respectively, towards the completion of this project.” Also at the skating rink, the kitchen was remodelled by extending the square footage and bringing the mechanical system back up to code. “The kitchen was terribly out dated and needed

action this winter.” Afternoon curling is on Tuesdays and Thursdays, youth curling is on Wednesday evenings and evening rec league play is on Thursdays. “Super League action will return this year on specific Tuesday nights. Additionally, the Club runs seven bonspiels annually,” said Herriges. “You can register online for league play or bonspiels at Canora.com.” With the Winter Lights Festival coming up soon, Leisure Services is bringing back the Family Skate and Bingo Night (sponsored by Crossroads Credit Union) on December 3 and will be introducing another family Christmas movie at Rainbow Hall on December 6. The feature movie will be Klaus. Admission and concession are entirely free (sponsored by Gateway Co-op). “Bring the family because anyone under 12 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian,” encouraged Herriges. “Last year’s movie was great and we are hoping that trend continues.” Before the winter sea-

the improvement,” said Herriges. “This year will be a nice test for the new kitchen as we have many tournaments and events booked this winter including the S.J.H.L game coming up on November 30 when the Yorkton Terriers host the Kindersley Klippers. Tickets for the event are available at the Town office, Community Insurance and Companion Animal Hospital.” For the avid curling fans around the region, a new feature has been installed at the Sylvia Fedoruk Centre to enhance the viewing experience of spectators. “The Canora Curling Club had house cameras positioned for each sheet so spectators can watch the game much like they can on TV with a straight down view of the house,” reported Herriges. “TV screens were installed upstairs and downstairs so fans with physical limitations can enjoy watching the strategy. The Club does not charge for spectators so I would encourage checking the curling schedules on Canora.com so you can catch live game

son arrived, Herriges said there were some important projects completed inside and outside Canora’s parks and facilities. In September, Ball Diamond No. 4 underwent improvements which included the construction of an infield sand base that was top dressed with shale. “This soil composition will pretty much eliminate rainouts and provide a playing surface that will not harden,” said Herriges. “The project was completed with the aid of the Canora Ag Society which contributed $2,500. Ideally over time, all four ball diamonds will undergo this type of work.” The old Campground signs which deteriorated over the years were replaced with aluminum signs with new graphics and information. New campsite posts were installed, along with improvements to the road in front of them. Herriges said the

Canora swimming pool underwent a much needed upgrade. “It involved a complete sandblasting and epoxy coating of the two basins, paddling pool and the main basin of the swimming pool,” he said. “The primary objective was to eliminate the annual painting of the basins and endless paint flakes that were ending up in the pool lines, cartridges, and strainers. Keeping the water lines clean will enhance water flow and ultimately extend the life of the cartridges

and boiler. Other added benefits to having the concrete coated are better overall visual appearance and improved pool chemistry.” Further details are available at the leisure services office regarding any updates on winter activities and program information. The Town offers free public skating and shinny throughout the winter so participants are encouraged to please check out live updated schedules at Canora.com

Ball diamond No. 4 at the Canora Sports Grounds had work done to cut down on rainouts and prevent hardening of the playing surface.

Recently, Canora-Pelly MLA Terry Dennis on behalf of Social Services Minister Paul Merriman, celebrated the grand reopening of a newly renovated day program with Mackenzie Society Ventures Inc. (MSVI). The government provided $322,500 for the renovations which included making the bathroom barrierfree, making the front door automatic for accessibility, completely renovating the kitchen, adding office space and building a personal care room. The day program will support up to 31 people with intellectual disabilities. “Day programs play a vital role in helping to create inclusive and diverse communities in our province,” Dennis said. “They

provide opportunities for employment, social interactions, life skills and often create lifelong friendships for the participants.” Mackenzie Society Ventures has been supporting people with intellectual disabilities since 1975. Along with this day program, they operate five group homes and a supported independent living program. “The renovations have been a tremendous rejuvenation to the day program,” Mackenzie Society Ventures Executive Director Gailene Pasiechnik said. “The day program is now a place to come to where the atmosphere is warm, spacious and inviting.

Popularity of pickleball growing locally By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in Saskatchewan. There are already 1200 players in Regina, and in Yorkton are growing, including a full house last Saturday for a beginner’s workshop on the sport at the Gloria Hayden Centre. The reasons for the growth are varied, said Dave Weiman, a director of Pickleball Saskatchewan who was one of the event instructors. “It’s senior friendly,” he said, adding one does not have to be athletic to participate in the sport. For those unfamiliar with pickleball it is a paddleball sport combining elements of tennis, badminton, and table ten-

nis. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, similar to a wiffle ball, over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports, the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules somewhat similar to tennis, with several modifications. Pickleball was invented in the mid-1960s as a children’s backyard game. “It’s a well thought out game,” said Weiman, who noted when playing doubles the on-court movement is not extreme, again making it ideal for mature players. “There’s lots of volleys,” he added, which means you don’t require

on power to be good at pickleball as is the case in a sport such as tennis where a power serve can be dominating. Weiman said as an association they really are focused on attracting players at around 55 years of age. He said they can learn the game and have many years still to play. And, in Yorkton there is a great opportunity to play, with drop-in sessions at Gloria Hayden Tuesday and Thursday evening, and Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning from 10 a.m. til noon. The cost is only $5 a session and paddles are provided. “Yorkton has been very kind to us,” said Weiman, adding in the summer they take pickleball out-

Help sought in naming bison As part of the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s (NCC) management Plan for the Old Man on His Back Prairie and Heritage Conservation Area, five new bison bulls have been added to the existing herd. And now NCC is looking for the publics help to name these bulls! Should they be named after Outlaw Country Singers, New Kids on the Block, Action Movie Stars or Looney Tunes Characters? People can vote for their favourite on NCC’s Twitter poll. @NCC_CNC is the account. The bulls were added to help maintain the health of the herd. Using sciencebased conservation and on-going research, NCC will deepen its understanding of their evolving behaviours and herd dynamics, and help support bison restoration at the Old Man on His Back Prairie and Heritage Conservation Area for the long-term. The five bulls were born and raised in Canada. They come from three separate producers, two of which are in Saskatchewan, and the other in central Alberta. All five were born in 2017

and around 2.5 years of age, so they will continue to grow for five or so years until they are eight years old. The addition of these bulls is part of NCC’s efforts to diversify the genetics of our herd to ensure that we are producing calves that are healthy. They will remain separated from the rest of the herd for approximately 30 days to ensure that they are healthy and to give them time to adjust to their new surroundings. The plains bison were extinct here The Old Man on His Back Prairie and Heritage Conservation Area (OMB), located in southwestern Saskatchewan in the rural municipality of Frontier, 15 kilometres west of Claydon and 210 kilometres southwest of Swift Current, is where plains bison had once roamed in the thousands but had become extinct in the

early 1900s. In the winter of 2003, a group of 50 two-year old plains bison were transported in trailers from Elk Island National Park in central Alberta and driven nearly 700 kilometres to this site. These genetically-pure plains bison were introduced at Old Man on His Back - reintroducing the native grazer to the area with the goal of maintaining and enhancing biodiversity.

The ranch, just west of Frontier, Sask., was donated to the Nature Conservancy of Canada

(NCC) by Peter and Sharon Butala in 1996. The Old Man on His Back ranch is not only a home for the recovery of plains bison – it is a beacon of hope for conserving the area’s native grasslands. It had long been the late landowner Peter Butala’s dream to see plains bison return to the 13,000-acre (5,300 hectare) mixed grass prairie site. Now close to 17 years later, the herd has become an established fixture on the prairie. Old Man on His Back also provides habitat for

various species of plants and animals. Imperiled species such as ferruginous hawk and swift fox. Pronghorn, mule and white-tailed deer are commonly sighted. As part of the semi-arid mixed grass prairie area, which originally spanned two provinces and five states, most of the mixed grass prairie disappeared rapidly with settlement and conversation to croplands. Dry prairie landscape is under great threat of cultivation in southwestern Saskatchewan. — Submitted

YRHS headed to Agribition in Regina By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yorkton Regional High School students are heading the Canadian Western Agribition in Regina to learn more about career opportunities in agriculture. With one in eight Canadian jobs in the agriculture and agri-food sector there are certainly jobs in the sector. And as the world population continues to grow, the demand for skilled people to work in agriculture will grow as well. The thinkAG Career Expo at CWA allows students to experience what a career could be like in different agricultural sectors such as agronomy, food development, agribusiness, research and innovation, and agricultural trades and technol-

ogy. “It’s a really cool program,” said YRHS instructor Roby Sharpe. “ThinkAg is really neat. It lets students see some of the opportunities for business and jobs with the agriculture industry. “It really opens their eyes. “It’s a fantastic program.” The thinkAG Career Expo is a hands-on program where students explore the endless career and entrepreneurial opportunities in agriculture, learn about modern food production and begin to see themselves in a career that helps to feed the world. Sharpe said the trip is open to any student signing up, with the bus funded by a donation from Grain Millers in the city. He expects about 40 students, almost all hailing

from the farm, to make the trip. They will join students from Wadena, Kelvington, Kelliher and other surrounding communities in taking in the event, About Agriculture in the Classroom-SK (AITCSK): It is important that young people know where

their food comes from.

Last year AITC-SK reached 73,700 students from 640 schools across the province.

Higher spring runoff possible in south Sask. Recently, the Water Security Agency (WSA) issued its 2019 Conditions at Freeze-up Report. After well above average precipitation through the fall, conditions are favourable for a higher than normal spring run-off in much of southern Saskatchewan. The Souris River Basin, including the Antler River and Gainsborough Creek basins were particularly wet at freeze-up. While these conditions are wetter than normal, this preliminary forecast for next spring will also be impacted by actual conditions and snow accumulation through winter. Current long-range forecasts suggest near normal precipitation and above normal temperatures for the first three months of winter. This initial assessment does not mean there will be flooding in southern Saskatchewan next year. The runoff potential is higher because the

existing wetter soil conditions will reduce infiltration next spring. By contrast, much of northern Saskatchewan enters winter with normal conditions, the result of below normal precipitation this fall after a wetter than normal summer. The only areas where drier than normal conditions persist entering winter is a small area around Kindersley, the area between Saskatoon and Prince Albert and a small area northeast of Yorkton that extends to the Manitoba border. The report is an important tool to assist WSA in planning, but also helps Saskatchewan communities start to plan for next spring. WSA will be monitoring the development of the winter snowpack and will issue a Spring Runoff Outlook in early February. The full report can be found at www.wsask. ca/Lakes-and-Rivers/ Provincial-Forecast/.

Film looks at Canadian internment camps By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer A new film ‘That Never Happens’ looks at the Canadian internment camps of the First World War. The film reveals the story of Canada’s first national internment operations between 1914 - 1920, when over 88,000 people were forced to register and more than 8,500 were wrongfully imprisoned in concentration camps across Canada, not for anything they had done but because of where they came from. Most were Ukrainian immigrants, although many Eastern European nationalities were targeted. In 1954, the public records were destroyed and in the 1980s a few brave men and women began working to reclaim this chapter in history and ensure future generations would know about it, explains the film backgrounder. The film was written, directed and produced by Ryan Boyko who was born in Winnipeg and grew up in Saskatoon, and now resides in Ontario. Interestingly, Boyko didn’t come at the film because of a family connection to the story. “I don’t have an immediate family connection, at least not one that I am aware of,” he said. But, he knew a good story when he saw it. “Once I hit 30 I was not going out for the kind of parts I wanted as an actor anymore so I wanted to make my own work,” said Boyko. “I started working on a feature film on the subject of internment because I had a great hook in the fact that nobody knew about it. “It took many years to get the script to a point where it had been thoroughly researched and was historically accurate.” In terms of filming Boyko said they went into it with a plan, but plans do change. “We had a very clear understanding going in of what footage we had and what was missing,” he said. “However if you were to look at the film’s treatment on day-one and compare it to the finished product you would be seeing two very different films. We were fortunate that we were able to collect a lot of previously shot video including sculpture unveilings and academic talks. “Unfortunately there were no survivors so we had to rely on oral history to tell the story. I think that makes the film more powerful because without being told about the multigenerational effects that internment had on families, the audience sees and experiences them first hand.” They also made sure the film, Boyko’s first as director, captured the essence of the story by having it reviewed ahead of completion. “We had a lot of industry insiders view the film before it was locked as a final film and one of the things we kept being asked for was to tell us what we were about to see,” said

Boyko. “At that point we had a black text slug over top of where we knew Inky Mark (MP from Dauphin), was going to be in an excerpt from the House of Commons but we hadn’t tracked down the footage yet. When we finally got it Inky describes exactly what internment was, who was affected and why we should care. It was the missing piece of the puzzle. We knew Inky Mark had spoken on the subject in the House of Commons but had no idea what he said. This was the best piece of archive footage we found and it fit perfectly. I don’t think the film is as effective without it.” Interestingly, with many Ukrainians from Saskatchewan most were not placed in the camps. “ F o r t u n a t e l y Saskatchewan was largely spared from the internment operations because Canada needed the grain,” explained Boyko. “When I was there this summer I heard of more stories of farmers around Hyas that had been interned, so they were indeed interned but we don’t know who or how many.” It is a list that is trying to be compiled. “The Canadian First World War Internment Fund is actively creating a list of all of the internees,” said Boyko. “There were 8579 people interned. As of now we have just over 4000 names with documenting evidence so I’m always telling people to look through family documents. The Government destroyed their copies of the Internment documents but internees would have had their own record. Many have been thrown out as people pass away but local churches and museums as well as relatives likely have documentation that they are not aware of. “As we continue to educate people on the Internment Operations I hope more people will come forward with documentary evidence so we can eventually name all 8579 people along with at least one document per person.” In terms of filming expected challenges proved not to be. “You know I thought the most challenging part would be working with the Canadian Government and getting it out to a non-Ukrainian audience,” said Boyko. “The Government was actually amazing and we worked with both Conservative and Liberal Federal governments and they both did what they could to help us tell the story. We got unlimited access to Parks Canada (many of the camps were in National Parks), fairly open access to the Canadian Military, and were supported by the permanent mission of Canada to the United Nations and we screened the film in Geneva as Canada’s contribution to the 70th Anniversary of the Universal declaration of Human Rights. “Then I thought it would be difficult to get those outside of the affected communities to see the film yet they turned up in droves.

Ryan Boyko’s new film gathers near lost history of internment camps from 1914-’20. “The hardest part of telling this story has actually been getting Canadians with Ukrainian Heritage, as well as all of the other affected communities to see this film. The feedback has been ‘Yeah we know all about it…’ or ‘Let sleeping dogs lie’, that is at least until they see the film.” So what does Boyko think is the best aspect of the film? “I think the best aspect of the film is that it has encouraged conversation,” he told Yorkton This Week. “It has encouraged further research. Parks Canada added a new John Boatel Sculpture to Yoho National Park as a direct result of their representatives seeing ‘That Never Happened’. “It has also put this story in the main stream and I am encouraged that it will eventually find its way to church basements and community halls. “Technically speaking the best aspect of this film is the use of drones. We began filming in 2016 and at that time drone use in documentary was not a thing. We were the first company in Canada to have access to the 4K drone that we used in the making of this film. So from a technical standpoint that’s the best part. Everyone uses drones now (and 4K is nothing) but at the time most people were either not getting aerial shots for documentaries or they were still using helicopters. A lot has changed in three-years.” However, like many film projects funding was a barrier. “The problem was financing,” offered Boyko. “So I had done all of this research and had all of these ideas on how to tell the story but didn’t have the appropriate budget to do it. “It was around that time I was asked if I would be willing to take a camera and go to all of the former internment sites and film what was left. I said no because that would just be what we call ‘B-Roll’ in film and it is not interesting. “I had been going to many film events and at the time I was heading to the Banff World Media Festival and everyone was

looking for short form content. So I said I have an idea. ‘Let me make a pilot of a short form series while I’m in Banff and if you like it I can propose to do that.’ So I shot the first episode of ‘The Camps’ called Castle Mountain. I presented it to The Canadian First World War Internment Recognition Fund and said I could make 26 episodes. We got the green light to move forward and I ended up delivering 33 episodes and came in on time and under budget. “However I didn’t feel like the story was complete. Two nagging ques-

tions kept coming up. What happened to the women and children? And why should we care? How is it important today?” Boyko said the importance of the film has grown beyond his initial expectation. “When I was making it I thought it was going to be a small film for the Ukrainian Canadian community likely to be relegated to church basements and community halls,” he said. “And at the same time as I was putting the plan into action I was starting to see xenophobia and antiimmigrant sentiment crop up in the world around us. It was startling and it still is startling. We are all immigrants to Canada and yet we still seem to have this fear of the other. I think it struck a chord with people when it was complete, a chord that I could never have predicted -- hoped for but not predicted.” Is Boyko satisfied with the overall story he created? “I am very satisfied with the film and I will also say that it is not the definitive piece on Internment,” he said. “It is a launching pad. The story as we know it today, the story from multiple perspectives. However I am acutely aware that there are just as many stories as there were internees, as many stories as there were guards and as many stories as there were affected families of the internees. So this film

is not everything on internment. It can’t be. “I hope that through this work other stories, details and camps will be found in the years to come.” Boyko said he now hopes the film reaches the broadest audience possible. “To be honest I was optimistic when I started this project and I said that the target audience was all Canadians,” he said. “People kept telling me to narrow the scope and target it, or at least give an age range. So I said Grades 7 and up. But it is still all Canadians. “This is not an ‘ethnic’ film. It’s Canadian History. Canadian History that was systemically erased and removed from the history books and the education system. I’m happy to say that Canada’s First National Internment Operations was put back into the school curriculum in every province in Canada in 2011 and I hope that teachers will utilize this film to help further educate Canadian youth.” The film is available for Download on iTunes, Googleplay, YouTube Premium, Shaw on Demand and Bell on Demand For Teachers through McIntyre Media https:// www.mcintyre.ca/titles/ ICE022 And for those who still like DVDs it can be purchased on their website www.armisticefilms.com

Jazz band performs varied show By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yorkton’s All That Jazz Big Band held an evening playing their favourite hits last Thursday. The evening, held at St. Mary’s Cultural Centre saw the band play 23 familiar pieces ranging from ‘Sweet Georgia Brown’ a 1949 release by Brother Bones to Adele’s 2012 Skyfall. The music of Frank Sinatra was also featured with five of his songs on the playlist. Enhancing the band’s performance were vocals provided by a trio of singers. Craig Read in his first public performance sang The Guess Who’s 1969 classic Undun. Then the tandem of Kelsey Kuz and Rob Zerr took over, each performing a number of songs. Zerr, who farms in the Langenburg area, has enjoyed singing since his earliest childhood memories. Over the years he has been a part of many vocal groups from Barbershop Quartets to vocal jazz, to musical theater, noted the program, Kuz is a graduate from the University of Regina’s Music Education Program and grew up fully immersed in the Regina music community. Kelsey began taking singing lessons at a young age and has participated in several choirs, bans, and musical productions. She has worked as a voice instructor in Regina before accepting the position of Band and Choral Director at the Yorkton Regional High School in September of 2016, stated the program.

Winter is coming, tips for booking a trip The Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority (FCAA) wants to make sure people protect themselves when booking a trip this winter. By taking precautions, consumers can ensure their reservations are confirmed with the actual supplier and they can minimize their financial loss if a third party goes out of business. Here are five steps to take when booking a trip: • When booking airfare, a hotel, or a car rental through a third party, including travel agents, confirm your booking with the actual supplier

to ensure that the reservation was received and correct. • Pay with a credit card. It’s easier to get a refund through a credit card provider. But first, make sure you know what currency is being used (make sure your account for exchange rates). • Minimize the use of cash or cheque deposits when working with someone on your holiday. It may be more difficult or impossible to get a refund if the third party goes out of business. • Thoroughly read the cancellation policy set out in your travel contract.

Make sure you know what to do in a worst-case scenario. • Do research, read customer reviews, check with the Better Business Bureau and the Association of Canadian Travel Agencies to confirm that the third party is well established and has a good reputation. Contact Consumer Protection Division The Consumer Protection Division may be able to help consumers who have problems with a travel contract. They can call toll free at 1-877-8805550 or by email at consumerprotection@gov. sk.ca.

Greba recognized by City By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Taylor Greba was presented with the City’s first Certificate of Achievement. The award was presented by Council at its regular meeting Tuesday (as Monday was a statutory Holiday). The Civic Recognition Awards Policy provides for Council to award Certificates of Achievement as a meaningful and enduring way to recognize citizens of extraordinary achievement. Yorkton residents who achieve international, national

or provincial excellence in science and technology, arts and sport, and community service may be considered for this special honour, explained Jessica Matsalla – Director of Legislation and Procedures with the City. In Greba’s case the certificate was in recognition of his recent Duke of Edinburgh International Award. “The Duke of Edinburgh’s (DoE) International Award is an internationally recognized program for young people between the ages of 14 and 24, building their skills to equip them for life and

work,” explained Matsalla. “This DoE International Award – Canada engages over 42,000 young people and 2,600 Award Leaders annually. By creating opportunities for young people to develop skills, get physically active, give service and experience adventure, the Award can play a critical role in their development.” On September 30, 2019 Captain Colin McInnes, Commanding Officer of the 2834 64th Field Battery of the Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps notified the Office of the Mayor that Sergeant Taylor Greba was

the recipient of the DoE Bronze Award, said Matsalla. “The Mayor nominated Sgt. Greba for Special Certificate of Achievement Presentation to be held in Council Chambers. As per the Civic Recognition Policy, the Civic Recognition Awards Committee convened on November 1, 2019 and passed a resolution recommending that Council recognize the outstanding efforts of Sgt. Greba through the presentation of a Certificate of Achievement at a Council Meeting,” she added.

Meridian Canadian Open while enjoying food, music and activities for the whole family. The Community Fest also featured appearances by Olympic gold medalist and World Curling Hall of Fame inductee Kevin Martin, as well as 2019 Scotties Tournament of Hearts champion Chelsea Carey. Carey said attending an event like the one in Yorkton is a “fun” break from curling, adding her team was actually playing as a threesome in Red Deer as she visited with fans in the city here. “It’s fun for us to see the community get excited about the (upcoming) event.” Carey said fans in Yorkton were great when Pinty’s held events here before, and as a competitor she appreciates when the stands are full. “Definitely it is fun to be part of that energy,” she said, adding have a “good loud crowd is hard to beat as an athlete.” Martin said one thing that really sets a crowd in Yorkton apart is its understanding of the sport. “You’re in a curling community here. Players love coming here,” he said, adding “the knowledge of the fans, the players really

It’s not just the support but the knowledge.” Martin said lots of fans understand the sport but here it’s a knowledge gained “by osmosis at the kitchen table.” Beyond the interest in Pinty’s returning to Yorkton, Carey said it is exciting to be involved in the sport right now as interest in curling is growing around the world. She said the sport has always been popular in Canada, but have curling in the Winter Olympics and annual series such as Pinty’s is taking

it to new levels of interest. “The more exposure we can get the better for the sport,” she said. Martin picked up on the growth of the sport. “Worldwide curling is one of the fastest growing sports in the world; in the U.S., in South Korea, Japan, China, Russia,” he said. “There’s so much growth it’s terrific. “The Grand Slam of Curling has a great deal to do with it.” It helps the overall

quality of the sport continues to improve too, offered Carey. “There’s a lot more good international teams,” she said. “Canada is not dominant anymore. We have more depth, but if you look at the top-15 teams only half are Canadian.” Yorkton will be the fourth of six communities participating in the Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling schedule this season. The total purse for the entire Grand Slam is $2.1 million.

Canada falling short of reaching goal Canada could lead the world in helping to achieve water sustainability but is falling short of reaching the goals set out by the United Nations (UN), according to a new report from scientists with the University of Saskatchewan-led Global Water Futures (GWF) program. The report, entitled Water Futures for the World We Want, takes aim at areas where the country is lacking in water resource management and scientific research, and outlines several recommendations for Canada to meet the 2030 goals outlined by the UN. “As a proud partner of UNESCO and the UN Water Action Decade, we are continuously looking at ways in which we can lead the country in meeting our sustainable development goals as they relate to water,” said John Pomeroy, USask’s Canada Research Chair in Water Resources and Climate Change and GWF program director. “Canada could be a world leader on this issue, but we have to transform how we observe, predict and manage water to meet these goals and then share our solutions globally. This is a fitting role for Canada as a world leader in freshwater and hydrological science.” The report — released Nov. 19 in Hamilton, Ont., where 100 of Canada’s leading water scientists are gathered for a national GWF meeting — cites examples of shortcomings such as inadequate access to clean drinking water on First Nations (even when drinking water advisories are eliminated), declining water quality in lakes, rivers and

streams across Canada, lack of wastewater treatment in parts of Canada, and severely stressed river basins such as the South Saskatchewan River where water extraction reaches very high levels in dry periods. As well, the report highlights an absence of fully integrated co-operation between provinces and with the federal government on trans-boundary water issues. Canada, along with 192 other nations, committed to ensuring sustainability of water resources through its official adoption of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Collectively, these goals represent a roadmap towards a more resilient, just, and equitable society. While only one of the 17 SDGs (#6) is explicitly dedicated to achieving progress on water issues such as drinking water access, wastewater, pollution, and transboundary water resources management, a total of 40 targets across the other 16 goals are related to water. “If we are to show the world how to achieve water sustainability, Canada first needs to get our own house in order to achieve the water goal SDG #6,” said Corinne Schuster-Wallace, professor of water-related human health in the USask geography and planning department and co-author of the report. “Canada still has not reached universal access to reliable, potable water supplies. While the commitment to eliminating drinking water advisories in First Nation communities will go a long way to achieving this, many more aren’t even served by water treatment systems.”

economic opportunity,” said Schuster-Wallace. “Ultimately, we have an opportunity, beginning at the community level, to help create a more just, equitable, and sustainable world for all. The alternative is, quite simply, unthinkable.”

According to this and several other recent reports, Canada is also on the front line of rapid climate change, with temperatures warming at more than twice the global average and three times the global average in Canada’s North. “Catastrophic water-related experiences such as increasing frequency and severity of floods, drought, wildfires, and toxic algae blooms are creeping threats that undermine our quality of life, health, and safety,” said Bob Sandford, co-author of the report and EPCOR Chair in Water and Climate Security, United Nations University — Institute for Water, Environment and Health, which is hosted at McMaster University. “They also cost our economy big time, and those costs are rising.” Canada’s Parliamentary Budget Officer has said that the costs associated with reimbursing provinces and territories for natural disaster relief costs increased by 660 per cent between 1970 and 2014, to an average annual cost of $410

million. The cost from extreme events between 2000 and 2017 exceeds $28 billion. “These estimates are overwhelmingly conservative given the inability to account for losses of life and homes, and the impacts on our consequent physical and mental health,” said Sandford. “Together, all of these issues conspire to threaten Canada’s own water sustainability.” The authors based their findings on an analysis of recent reports related to SDG targets, progress, and national and international challenges, along with GWF project reports and activities. With 39 GWF water research projects being conducted by hundreds of researchers from 18 universities across Canada, the report is a researchfocussed look at the country’s current standing as it relates to the UN’s SDGs to date. “There are significant longterm benefits at stake, including the enhanced health and wellbeing of current and future generations, as well as expanded

About the GWF report: The complete report — Water Futures for the World We Want: Opportunities for research, practice, and leadership in achieving SDG #6 — is available online along with an executive summary, recommendations, graphics, and supplementary information on the website: www.gwf. usask.ca/sdgreport About USask-led Global Water Futures: The world’s largest university-led freshwater research program, Global Water Futures is a seven-year, University of Saskatchewan-led program established in 2016 and funded in part by a $77.8-million grant from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund to USask’s Global Institute for Water Security. The GWF research goal is to transform the way communities, governments and industries in Canada and other cold regions of the world prepare for and manage increasing water-related threats. The program is developed and funded in part with three key partners — the University of Waterloo, McMaster University, and Wilfrid Laurier University — and includes hundreds of faculty, researchers and support staff, hundreds of partners, and 18 Canadian universities. www. globalwaterfutures.ca

Games to liven up your gift exchange Are you tired of the same old holiday gift exchange? If so, here are some fun games to enliven this year’s gift giving.

must guess who the information is about in order to win the right to open the present.

• Dice. Every number on the dice comes with an instruction (pass to the left or steal a gift). Take turns rolling the dice until everyone has a present.

• Cards. Cut some regular playing cards in half and distribute card halves to all participants. Draw the other card halves from a bowl or hat to determine who gets to choose or steal a gift next.

• Hot potato. This childhood favourite is just as fun to play as an adult. Turn on a holiday song and pass a present from person to person until the music stops. The person left holding the gift is out of the game but keeps the gift.

• Story. Rewrite a well-known Christmas story to include the words right, left and across numerous times. To start the game, everyone holds the gift they brought as someone reads the story aloud. Every time an instruction word is said, the presents get passed in that direction.

• Personal trivia. Everyone writes a little-known fact about themselves on the gift they contributed. The others

To make sure that everyone receives a gift they’ll enjoy, be sure to decide on a budget and theme beforehand.

Amazing Christmas world records Do you love Christmas? If so, you’re not alone. In fact, every year, the spirit of the season drives holiday enthusiasts to perform impressive feats. Here are some particularly remarkable Guinness World Records that are on theme. • Tallest chocolate Santa. Displayed in a mall in Cantù, Italy in 2011, this giant Santa was 5 metres tall, 2.5 metres in diameter and weighed just over 1,700 kilograms. That’s a lot of chocolate!

Get a Tims Mug for the Special Someone in your life. 160 Broadway St. E., Yorkton 375 Broadway St. W., Yorkton

• Most Christmas lights on a home. In 2014, the Gay family from LaGrangeville, New York decorated their home with over 600,000 individual lights. The display took two months to build and was set to more than 200 different songs, which passersby could hear when tuned in to a special AM radio station. • Largest artificial Christmas tree. Built by the Arjuna Ranatunga Social Services in Colombo, Sri Lanka in 2016, this tree measured more than 72 metres high. It was erected during a three-day Christmas carnival and was topped by a 6-metre star. • Largest Christmas ornament. In 2018, a Christmas ornament more than 4.5 metres in diameter was displayed in Dubai Mall, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Another Saskatchewan Winter Is On Its Way

Lindt Lindor Cheesecake INGREDIENTS FOR THE CHOCOLATE BISCUIT BASE: • 200g (7 oz) chocolate biscuits (such as bourbon biscuits, chocolate digestives or Oreos) • 100g (7 tbsp) butter FOR THE LINDT CHEESECAKE: • 600g (21 oz) cream cheese (must be full fat) • 50g (¼ cup) icing sugar • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 200g (7 oz) Lindt chocolate (dark, milk or both!) • 300ml (1 ¼ cup) double or whipping cream (plus extra for decoration) • Lindor truffles to decorate INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CHOCOLATE BISCUIT BASE: 1. Lock out a regular springform tin (23cm or 8in) and line it with a circle of greaseproof paper. 2. If using a food processor, blitz your biscuits into crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, simply place your biscuits into a freezer bag and bash them with a rolling pin until you reach a coarse crumb consistency. 3. Meanwhile, melt your butter in a small saucepan over a low heat, or in the microwave. 4 Once melted, add the butter to your biscuit crumbs and mix together. 5. Tip this mixture into your springform tin and press it down into a neat, flat circle. Pop this in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up while you prepare your cheesecake mix.

Bread Stuffing • • • • • • • •

Add the cooled melted chocolate to the cheesecake mixture and stir together. 4. Whip the 200ml of cream until it forms stiff peaks and then fold it gently into the cheese mixture until combined. 5. Remove your tin from the fridge and top your biscuit base with the cheesecake mixture, smooth it out as neatly as you can. 6.

Ham and Cheese Ball • 8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened • 1/4 c mayonnaise • 2 - 8oz tins flaked ham • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley • 1 teaspoon minced onion • ¼ teaspoon dry mustard • ¼ teaspoon Tabasco • ½- 1 cup chopped nuts (for rolling in)

1. Beat cheese and mayo until smooth. Stir in next 5 ingredients. 2. Cover and chill several hours. 3. Form into two balls - will be quite sticky, but as you roll it in the nuts, to cover, you can shape it. I like having several of these in the freezer at this time of the year, since they are no work on the day that you need to pull one out.

Honey Balsamic Glazed Brussels Sprouts

INGREDIENTS 1 lb. Brussels sprouts, cleaned and halved 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 c. balsamic vinegar 2 tbsp. honey 1 tbsp. dijon mustard 2 cloves garlic, minced Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper DIRECTIONS 1. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add Brussels sprouts, cut side down, and cook undisturbed, 3 to 4 minutes, until golden on the bottom. Add ¼ cup water and cover. Let Brussels sprouts steam until tender, 3 minutes. If the skillet seems dry, add more water a tablespoon at a time. 2. Remove sprouts from skillet and set aside on a plate. Add vinegar, honey, mustard, and garlic and whisk to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook until thick and syrupy, 6 to 8 minutes. Return sprouts to pan, toss to coat, and heat through, 2 to 3 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Overnight Breakfast Casserole INGREDIENTS • 12 slices egg bread or any type of bread will work, cubed • 12 slices crispy bacon crumbled (or 1 cup diced ham) • 3 green onions sliced • 1/2 red bell pepper finely diced • 4 cups grated cheese cheddar works well • 6 eggs • 3 cups milk • 1/2 teaspoon each dry mustard salt & black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS 1. Cube bread and leave out overnight or place in the oven at 300 degrees for about 10 minutes to dry slightly. (Do not brown or toast it). 2. Combine eggs, milk, & seasonings. 3. Layer 1/2 of the cubes in a greased 9×13 pan. Top with 1/2 of the bacon, green onions, red peppers and cheese. Repeat layers one more time. 4. Pour egg mixture over top. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 3 hours). 5. Remove from fridge and let sit on the counter while preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Bake covered with foil 45-55 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. (If you are baking 2 pans increase cooking time to 60-80 minutes).

Mix together and form into balls. • 1/4 or 1/2 lb. semi sweet chocolate • Crushed walnuts. Can be replaced with any type of nut. Roll balls in melted chocolate then in crushed walnuts. Place on waxpaper and chill.

Gourmet bruschetta Warning: this version of bruschetta is piled so high with toppings you may need a fork and knife to eat it INGREDIENTS

• 1/4 cup olive oil • 1 garlic clove, minced • 6 basil leaves, chopped • 2 (190 grams) packages cherry tomatoes

• 4 slices thick crusty bread • 1 (226 grams) package pre-sliced mozzarella • Salt and pepper, to taste • Whole basil leaves (to use as garnishes)

DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat the oven to 375 °F (190 °C). 2. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic and basil. 3. Place the tomatoes in an oven-safe dish and pour the olive oil mixture on top. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 10 minutes or until the tomatoes start to brown and crack. 4. Meanwhile, toast the bread. Make sure not to overcook it. It should still be a little soft. 5. Cover each slice with cheese and top with the tomatoes. Drizzle a little more olive oil on top and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm and garnish with a basil leaf.

To make the bruschetta easier to eat, you can cut the tomatoes in half before roasting them. This will shorten the cooking time, however, so keep an eye on them.

How to choose a host or hostess gift If you get invited to someone’s home over the holidays, it’s best not to arrive empty handed. However, it can be hard to know what to bring, especially if the host or hostess is a relatively new friend or acquaintance. Fortunately, there are number of things — wine, chocolate, coffee, tea, fancy hand soap and unscented candles, for example — that make great gifts when you don’t know the recipient very well. However, if you do know them, you could offer your host or hostess something that you think they’ll appreciate. If they love to cook, for instance, a cookbook or an inexpensive kitchen gadget would be ideal. Whatever you bring, make sure it’s not something that makes your host or hostess work. For example, if you choose to bring a bouquet of flowers, arrange them in a vase before arriving so they don’t have to. Remember, this gift is meant for the hosts to enjoy after the guests have gone home. They’re not obliged to share it with you or anyone else, so don’t expect them to.

Christmas without the cooking If the thought of creating a holiday spread from scratch doesn’t excite you, then give yourself the gift of not cooking this year. Here’s where you can get meals made by someone else. Restaurants There are plenty of eateries that remain open over the holidays. Book a table at one nearby for your holiday feast. Or better yet, order some takeout and eat in the comfort of your own home. Caterers If you’re hosting a party, consider hi ring a caterer. Not only will this professional work with you to come up with the perfect menu, but they’ll also do all the work.

Grocers Many businesses, including grocery stores, butcher shops and lo cal restaurants, of fer premade meals that are perfect for nights you want to eat in. Personal chefs For a real treat, hire a personal chef to come to your home and create an intimate meal for you and your loved ones. It’s the perfect no-cook solution for a small gathering with friends or even a New Year’s Eve party. This year, simplify your holiday season by letting someone else do the cooking. Don’t be surprised if you love this hands-off approach to the holidays so much that you do it again next Christmas.

Stairway to Christmas: how to decorate stairs for the holidays The stairway in your house is the perfect place to show off your Christmas spirit. Here’s how to dress up this oft overlooked part of your home. Decorate the handrail Wrap the handrail with evergreen garlands and decorate them with either berries, pinecones and burlap ribbons for a rustic look, or with Christmas baubles for a more whimsical take. Wrap a string of white or coloured lights around the garlands to add some sparkle. Alternatively, you can decorate the handrails with ribbons instead of greenery. Depending on the look you want, you can choose to use either one type of ribbon or a mix of different kinds in an assortment of colours and sizes. Decorate the stairs If they’re wide enough, put decorations directly on the stairs. Pillar candles (battery-operated ones are safest), wooden decorations and festive figurines can help create the holiday ambience you’re after. Decorate the walls and ceiling Ask the kids to make paper snowflakes and use them to decorate the wall along the stairway. You can also display holiday photos from Christmases past. As a final touch, consider suspending large ornaments from the ceiling. Make sure to hang them high enough so that no one bumps their head. If you follow these tips, your stairway esthetic is sure to please visitors and earn their praise all season long.

7 reasons to do your holiday shopping in person Are you tired of handing over your hard-earned dollars to online retailers? If so, offline shopping is a trend that’s becoming increasingly popular. The principle? Focus on in-person shopping experiences rather than anonymous exchanges on the internet. Here are seven great reasons to do all your holiday shopping offline. 1. To support your community Making purchases from your local merchants at this busy time of year is a concrete way of giving back to your community. Your money goes directly into your neighbours’ hands and helps to create — and keep! — jobs in your region. In contrast, ordering a gift online from the other side of the world doesn’t help the people closest to home. 2. To connect with people When you visit the businesses in your region, you get to interact directly with local merchants. Of course, shopping online (in your pajamas?) has its advantages but talking to salespeople and fellow shoppers is even better. 3. To stimulate the local economy The more people support local retailers, the longer their businesses can continue to thrive and serve the community, thereby creating a strong local economy. What’s more, dynamic neighbourhoods are much more pleasant to live in than those whose shops have been forced to close and are accumulating dust, dirt and graffiti. 4. To strengthen your sense of community Visiting businesses in your neighbourhood will increase your ties to the region. When you

ChristmasCataloguePg12.indd 1

explore the area around you, you’ll rub elbows with your neighbours and discover amazing goods and services a stone’s throw from your home. 5. To benefit from excellent service Returns and exchanges are a breeze when the product you’ve purchased comes from a nearby store. And local merchants know they need your business to survive, so they’ll do everything they can to ensure you’re happy. Conversely, returning and exchanging items bought online is sometimes difficult. 6. To enjoy a variety of products Are you familiar with all of the goods and services available in your region? Probably not. In fact, there are likely more businesses in your area than you realize! Consider spending a day visiting them. You’ll find that in just a few hours, you’ve completed all your holiday shopping and are still close to home. 7. To be kind to the environment Shopping locally not only eliminates the cost of shipping, but also tends to reduce the distance products travel before reaching you. In addition, you can avoid the need for extra packaging materials when you shop in person, especially if you bring your own tote bags. This year, go ahead and get your holiday gifts, goodies and decorations a few minutes from home — you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

How to enjoy the holidays without overindulging Food plays an integral part in many holiday celebrations. But when you have many social obligations in a short period of time, it can feel like all you’re doing is eating. Here’s how to enjoy the season’s festivities without overindulging. Don’t skip meals Eat regular meals throughout the holidays as this will make you less likely to overindulge at parties. For breakfast, make some eggs or avocado on toast. These foods are full of protein and healthy fats that will keep you going all day. At lunch, try a salad topped with a healthy protein like salmon, grilled chicken or legumes.

Have a light snack before heading out to the party to make sure you don’t arrive hungry. Focus on protein-rich foods like nuts or plain yogurt with fruit. Stay hydrated Be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day and in between consuming alcoholic drinks. This will help you avoid becoming dehydrated and will also allow you to feel more satiated and therefore make you less likely to overeat. Making sure you take care of yourself over the holidays allows you to treat yourself without overindulging. You’ll enjoy spending time with loved ones and set the right precedent for the new year.
