Proud hunters gathered Saturday in Willowbrook for some camaraderie and bragging as the local branch of the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation held its annual horn measuring day. Danny Mikkonen of Willowbrook and Riley Effert of Rhein were both kept busy carefully determining the scores of whitetail, mule deer, elk and moose antlers, as well as the skulls of bears. The biggest of those measured could be up for Boone and Crockett Club, and/or Henry Kelsey Big Game recognition, the former, a North American award, and the latter within Saskatchewan. The biggest and best of those measured will be recognized at a local awards night in the new year.

Community Choir presents Noel Festival at annual Christmas concert Courtesy of Kamsack Times The annual Kamsack Community Choir Christmas concert was held at the Westminster Memorial United Church on Sunday. Introductions were made by Gwen Reilkoff, acting emcee for the program titled Noel Festival. Wendy Becenko and Deb Cottenie shared duties on the piano, with Sandra Nykolaishen assisting on piano, and Melva Armstrong accompanied several selections on drum. To begin the concert, Christmas on Broadway, a medley of Broadway tunes including My Favorite Things, was presented by a trio of Susan Bear (director), Kathy Galye

and Zennovia Duch. They later sang How Far is it to Bethlehem and Island Santa, a tune written by Connie Kalder of Saskatchewan, about Christmas on a tropical island. The Choir sang the following: Listen to the Music, Marshmallow World, The First Noel/Pachelbel’s Canon and Noel Festival. “The song Marshmallow World provides us with a very descriptive picture of winter,” said Reilkoff. The trio of Bear, Galye and Duch sang A Holiday Road of Carols, all to the tune of the Lindsey Buckingham song Holiday Road, made famous in National Lampoon’s Vacation. Reilkoff then introduced a trio of John Adamyk, Galye and Bear

who sang the “haunting song” In Winter. After an intermission of dainties and refreshments, the audience was encouraged to join the Choir in singing three well-known Christmas carols. A quartet of Adamyk, Duck Galye and Bear were introduced to sing Sussex Carol, an old Christmas carol from England. Ashley Hollett performed a solo, When You Wish Upon a Star. The trio of Bear, Galye And Duch performed the selections Hotta Chocolotta and Mistletoe and Holly. The full Choir performed Nutcracker Jingles, If you Like Christmas and Hosana! We Sing. The standing ovation and extended applause encouraged the choir to perform one more tune.

From left, Deb Cottenie and Wendy Becenko who share duties on the piano for the Community Choir concerts, were acknowledged by Audrey Horkoff and presented with envelopes and large potted plants.

Members of the Kamsack Community Choir, from left, were: (back) Audrey Girling, Cathy Cooper, Al Makowsky, John Adamyk, Bruno Lemire, Audrey Horkoff, Arlene Smorodin, Deb Sears, Milena Hollett, Zennovia Duch, Deb Cottenie (choir and piano) and Ashley Hollett, and (front) Florence Bielecki, Sandra Nykolaishen (choir and piano), Melva Armstrong (choir and drums), Kathy Galye, Susan Bear (director), Diane Larson, Deanne Lemire, Donna Seguin, Wendy Becenko (choir and piano) and Mary Welykholowa.

Pomeroy is presenting invited talks on the Hydrological Impacts of Climate Change: Mountains, Glaciers, Snow and The Impact of a Melting Cryosphere on Our Water Futures. He noted that snow and ice support rivers that supply water for over half of humanity, including over two billion people in Asia. “As we lose our snow and ice, floods can happen anytime of the year, droughts can be more severe, and our hydrological stability is lost. Our rivers become much more dangerous, more variable and less predictable without snow and ice,” he said. The special sessions

on snow and ice are hosted by the WHO at the Cryosphere Pavilion and UNESCO at the Sustainable Development Goals Pavilion at COP25. COP25 represents a key juncture as countries focus on initiatives to promote more ambitious climate action, both mitigation and adaptation. He said these changes to the cryosphere (he frozen water part of the Earth system) have led to unsustainability of freshwater, even where it is abundant. “We are failing to meet the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals relating to water and climate in mountains and cold regions,” said Pomeroy in his concluding remarks at COP25. “This threatens our ecosystems and our civilization.”

IN BRIEF

Opekokew recipient of new bursary Parkland College student Kacie Opekokew is the recipient of a new bursary from FHQ Developments which aims to encourage female Indigenous students in trades or technology programs. FHQ Developments representative Jason Koochicum presented Opekokew with a cheque Tuesday at the Trades & Technology Centre in

Yorkton. Opekokew is enrolled in the Heavy Equipment Truck & Transport Technician (HETT) certificate program. A member of the English River First Nation, Opekokew made the long journey from Patuanak in northern Saskatchewan to continue her education at Parkland College. The HETT program appealed to her

because of the hands-on training included in the course. She especially enjoys time in the trades shop where she can apply what she learns in the classroom. Upon graduating in the spring of 2020, Opekokew hopes to begin a career in the heavy equipment field while working toward becoming a journeyperson.

City renews land lease with WDM By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The City of Yorkton will be renewing its lease agreement with the Western Development Museum. “In 1987, the City of Yorkton passed bylaw No. 5/87 which permitted the City of Yorkton to enter a thirty-three year lease agreement with the (WDM) for the land in the west area of the city that it occupies still today,” explained Jessica Matsalla, Director of Legislation and Procedures, with the City at the regular meeting of Yorkton Council Monday.

Conditions in the agreement included a payment of $1.00/year, as well as providing that the WDM is responsible for the yard maintenance of trees and grass. “Correspondence from the WDM corporate office received in the Mayor’s office in June expressed the desire for the renewal of the lease agreement, as the expiration date is Dec 31, of this year,” said Matsalla. The Cities Act permits a council of a city to establish a policy setting out the conditions and threshold amount for the sale

or lease of land for less than fair market value and without public offering, said Matsalla. “Seeing as it is no longer a common practice to enact bylaws to permit lease agreements, it is of the opinion of Administration that should Council grant the renewal of this lease, that it be categorized under “Donated Lands”,” she said. The WDM fits with much of what the City has laid out as priorities, said Matsalla. “Under Yorkton’s Official Community Plan,

one of our goals is celebration of History, culture and diversity in everyday activities and through programming,” said Matsalla. “Section 4.6 of the plan states that we are a socially sustainable community that fosters its unique history by reflecting the values and cultures of our residents by contributing to heritage preservation and cultural vibrancy, and we provide opportunities for our culture and history to be showcased and appreciated.” In addition, “Yorkton’s Strategic Plan 2020 has an objective under its Community Development

goal to “Establish a vibrant culture that celebrates diversity, arts, customs, food, fashions, museums, motion picture/film festival, and heritage,” said Matsalla. “By supporting a renewal of this lease, it would meet the spirit of both the Official Community Plan and the Strategic Plan 2020.” As background Matsalla noted “The Western Development Museum (WDM) began in the mid-1940’s after a rising concern that settler’s farm machinery was fast disappearing. In 1945, the Saskatchewan

Government charged the Minister of Natural Resources and Industrial Development with collecting historic items. The large number of donations led to the establishment of several collection depots, usually surplus aircraft hangars, to store the artifacts. “On April 2, 1949, the Saskatchewan Legislature gave royal assent to a bill to create the Western Development Museum. The hangar in Yorkton opened in 1951, and the growth of the museum triggered the build of the current structure there today in 1971.”

New group for LGBTQ youth By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer A new group has formed in the city to provide a safe place for LGBTQ to gather. Pride for Days is the creation of Kat Anderson, who said she wanted to create a way for LGBTQ youth in Yorkton to have more opportunity to get together. So Anderson started the group which kicked-off its activities Saturday with a movie night. “It went quite well,” she said, noting they had 16 attend. The movie night did cause something of a stir on social media with a

number of posts deriding the effort. “It’s kind of a big thing for me not to engage with hating on us,” said Anderson, who said she was certainly aware of the distasteful posts. Anderson said she prefers to focus on the positive like the fact “people were stepping up to defend us.” And the negative comments will not deter Anderson, or her new group, which she said hopes to hold monthly

events, with bowling tentatively scheduled for early January. The idea for the group came to Anderson while attending a LGBTQ conference that brought youth from across the province together in Regina to work on ideas to improve things in local communities for LGBTQ youth. Initially, Anderson said she went in with the idea of a group home for LGBT youth in the city, but quickly realized as a young

teenager with high school to complete that was too big an idea. The Pride for Days group was more manageable and she hopes it “builds up a team” locally that can eventually turn its attention to the group home idea. Anyone wanting more information on the group, or its activities can find them on Facebook or Instagram or by emailing pridefordays2019@gmail. com

Long-time Canora resident celebrating 100th birthday Courtesy of The Canora Courier On December 31 as many partygoers will be preparing to ring in the new year, Polly Siminoff of Canora will be celebrating her 100th birthday. Siminoff was born in Canora on December 31, 1919 to Mary Bonderff and George Zeeben, who were each of Doukhobor heritage and came to Canada from Russia as children. They only spoke Russian at the time and learned English much latter in life. Siminoff had five siblings: Mary, Lucille, Mabel, Michael and John. They all spent plenty of time with people from different backgrounds, including Russian, Ukrainian and English, so they learned English fluently as youngsters. Siminoff started school when she was five years old at a cottage school in Canora, which was similar to an old-style house. She then attended “the big school” for Grade 1. The Siminoff family moved out of Canora in 1927 to a farm just north of Amsterdam. Polly continued her schooling at a country school just a mile from home. The children walked to school in nice weather and during winter their father took them by sleigh and horses. Siminoff graduated from Grade 8 in 1936 and then helped at home and around the farm. She learned to milk cows, gar-

den, and worked in the fields helping with haying. The family was very poor, but hardworking and as the years went on they accumulated more animals. In 1942 Siminoff moved to Winnipeg and worked for Jewish families for two years, doing the housework and looking after the children. She moved back to Canora and worked as a clerk at a hardware/grocery store. Hancheroff”s grocery store was owned by Walter Hancheroff, and it was there she met her future husband Nick Siminoff in 1944, as he regularly visited the store to purchase supplies. Nick enlisted in the army, but was rejected due to medical reasons. The couple was married on October 1, 1944 and had four children: Linda, Larry, Phil and Myra. Grandchildren are Lani and Alden (Larry’s children), and Alisha and Dana (Phil’s children). Lani has two children: Beau, 4, and Esté, 2, Polly’s only great-grandchildren. Nick and Polly purchased the family farm in 1946. He delivered gas for a company for a year or two before getting into farming on a full-time basis. “The early years were tough,” said Lani. “They had a big garden and produced their own meat. There was always work to be done. In addition to farming, Nick did all his

She was photographed with her greatgrandchildren, from left, Esté, 2, and Beau, 4. own mechanical work.” The family had no running water or power until the mid 60’s. Polly said things got a lot easier in 1963 when they got power. At that point she was able to have a fridge, a stove and a washing machine. When the school bus started running and picked up the children and brought them home it was a huge help. In 1983 Nick and Polly purchased a home in Canora, where she lives to this day. Nick passed away in 2013 and still lived in the house there until shortly before his death. Polly remains quite active. She continues to

enjoy gardening, as well as making borsch and perogies. “She loves watching the Roughriders and Blue Jays,” said Lani. “She enjoys reading and gets herself out of the house to go on short walks down the block. She likes to catch up with friends on the phone, but doesn’t go out much because she doesn’t want to ask someone and burden them with the trouble.” As her 100th birthday approaches, she is taking life one day at a time “Some days are good and some are not so good,” said Lani. “She is not promising her grandson that she will be able to make the trip to Regina for

Save UP TO

his wedding in June, but said “she’ll try.” She gets up every day and is just grateful her body is still working and that nobody tells her what to do.” She still does all of her own cooking, laundry and household cleaning. She still puts in a garden every year with some help from her son, Phil and daughter Myra. Phil helps a lot with the yard work, but in winter Polly is regularly outside shovelling snow to at least keep the walkway and steps cleared. The health nurse visits her once per month, but she does not receive home care as she remains independent. Siminoff is grateful to have lived a long and full

life. “She’s thankful nothing horrible has affected her health and that her children were healthy as children and while growing up,” said Lani. “She feels so lucky that no one in her immediate family has had any huge health issues.” Siminoff has always been a hard worker and never complains, added Lani. Her secret to a long life is to “never feel sorry for yourself. Bad things happen to everyone, you just have to let it go and move on.” She said Canora has changed a great deal, and is much more multicultural than when she was growing up. Unfortunately many of her old school friends have since passed away. She said there used to be many more businesses in Canora, but now there are not as many options. Siminoff has mourned the loss of her parents, siblings Mary and Lucy, her husband Nick and son Larry in 2013, along with many other friends and relatives. She regularly gets together with her sister Mabel and her brother John, who live in Yorkton, and brother Mike (who lives in Canora). The family got together for a special family gathering during the summer to celebrate Polly’s upcoming 100th birthday, as well of the birthday of her kid brother Mike, who turned 90 on July 11.

Realtors donate $36,000 for healthcare Yorkton and area REALTORS® came together last week to present cheques to both STARS and The Health Foundation totaling $36,292 both of which provide vital services to the communities throughout the region. “Yorkton and area REALTORS® have been committed to supporting local charities through our previous Council, brokerages and individually, and we wanted to ensure that our final contribution as a Council was shared amongst two worthy organizations that would support all communities within the region,” said Elyce Wilson, Chair of the Yorkton and District Council of REALTORS® (YDCR) in a release. “Healthcare affects everyone and that was an issue that all of our members could see ourselves as an organization supporting. Once we settled on healthcare we wanted to do something that would help people right away, but also into the future. That is why we’ve made this donation in the way we have.” The two donations are actually interconnected in a way. “We are donating $18,146 to STARS, to help with the ongoing work they do. STARS effects dozens of rescues every year in this region, many of those are very urgent and might be vehicular accidents, a person in an isolated area who had a heart attack or stroke, and even emergency pick-ups from the Yorkton Regional Hospital when people need urgent specialist care not available in Yorkton,” said Wilson. “Many of our REALTORS® and their families have been directly impacted by this service and because of this we strongly understand just how

Yorkton and area REALTORS® came together Tuesday to present cheques to both STARS and The Health Foundation totaling $36,292 essential this service is. This will be the second large donation that we have made to STARS. In September of 2017 the Council proudly presented STARS with over $18,000 worth of proceeds raised at our annual charity golf tournament” adds Wilson. Tammy Beauregard, representative with the STARS organization points out that “this generous gift will help many lives and will impact countless others, not only in the Yorkton area, but across Saskatchewan. It will also fuel innovation, enabling us to continue to provide world class emergency air medical care and transport to those in need”. Beauregard told the assembled realtors that it costs $21 million annually to operate STARS with the provincial government funding half, and the organization needing to fundraise $10.5 million annually. STARS is a service muchused in the province, said Beauregard. Last year the service was used 812 times, 30 of the flights in and out of Yorkton. She

added since April of this year there have been more than 30 flights to Yorkton already. Further to the STARS need, the Council opted to put their remaining funds directly at home with a donation to the heli-pad for the New Regional Hospital when it is built, totaling an additional $18,146. Currently, patients that are admitted to the hospital are financially responsible for the cost of transport from their hospital bed to the City permitted landing zone for STARS. The Council felt that it was imperative that patients have access to a Heli-pad, not only for their financial security but for their own physical well-being. “We have been advised that we will be the next regional hospital that will move forward,” said Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation. “Preliminary discussions have talked about a heli-pad as part of a new hospital, and really for major facilities heli-pads are becoming essen-

Council of Realtors and for the thoughtfulness they have demonstrated by looking to the future in this way,” continued Fisher. Len Wassill, CREA Saskatchewan Regional Director adds - The YDCR has been an essential organization formed for the sole purpose of joining like minds and protecting the general public and their rights. Originating as the Yorkton Real Estate Association approximately 40 years ago and changing to the YDCR approximately 12 years ago, the Council will now be folding to make way for a single provincial organization – The Saskatchewan REALTORS® Association. The Council has supported numerous charities over the years including Habitat for Humanity, Yorkton School Breakfast Club, STARS, Rail Side Industries, The Food Bank and so many more. It’ll be interesting to see what the future of real estate will look like with this amalgamation moving to a single Association come Jan. 1, 2020.

tial. However, the community is responsible for raising 20 per cent of base construction costs of a new facility and is responsible for 100 per cent of new equipment costs, so donations like this one will be crucial to our having all of the services we want in a new hospital.” A heli-pad will be an important part of a new hospital. Time is usually important if STARS are picking a patient up from the hospital. Currently, hospital transfers using STARS are not done on hospital grounds, as we have no heli-pad. Patients are transported to a suitable location and then transferred to the STARS helicopter. That delay needs to be eliminated. Fifteen minutes can sometimes save a persons’ life. “When we begin to plan for the next hospital and then begin to raise money for it, this kind of forward planning will become an important conversation in our community. We want to express our appreciation for the generosity of the Yorkton and District

Chemicals potentially toxic in your home Chemicals commonly used in smartphone, television, and computer displays were found to be potentially toxic and present in nearly half of dozens of samples of household dust collected by a team of toxicologists led by the University of Saskatchewan (USask). The international research team, led by USask environmental toxicologist John Giesy, is sounding the alarm about liquid crystal monomers — the chemical building blocks of everything from flat screen TVs to solar panels — and the potential threat they pose to humans and the environment. “These chemicals are semi-liquid and can get into the environment at any time during manufacturing and recycling, and they are vaporized during burning. Now we also know that these chemicals are being released by products just by using them,” said Giesy, Canada Research Chair in Environmental Toxicology at USask.

“We don’t know yet whether this a problem, but we do know that people are being exposed, and these chemicals have the potential to cause adverse effects,” said Giesy. In a first-of-its-kind paper published Dec. 9 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Giesy’s research team assembled and analyzed a comprehensive list of 362 commonly used liquid crystal monomers gathered from 10 different industries and examined each chemical for its potential toxicity. The team also further tested the toxicity of monomers commonly found in six frequently used smartphone models. The researchers found the specific monomers isolated from the smartphones were potentially hazardous to animals and the environment. In lab testing, the chemicals were found to have properties known to inhibit animals’ ability to digest nutrients and to disrupt

the proper functioning of the gallbladder and thyroid — similar to dioxins and flame retardants which are known to cause toxic effects in humans and wildlife. To understand how common these monomers are in the environment, researchers tested dust gathered from seven different buildings in China — a canteen, student dormitory, teaching building, hotel, personal residence, lab, and electronics repair facility. Nearly half of the 53 samples tested positive for the liquid crystal monomers. “Ours is the first paper to list all of the liquid crystal monomers in use and assess their potential to be released and cause toxic effects,” said Giesy. “We looked at over 300 different chemicals and found that nearly 100 have significant potential to cause toxicity.” Ninety per cent of the monomers tested had concerning chemical properties. They either

accumulate in organisms, resist degradation in the environment, or are easily transported long distances in the atmosphere. Nearly one quarter of the chemicals tested had all three troubling characteristics. “There are currently no standards for quantifying these chemicals, and no regulatory standards,” said Giesy. “We are at ground zero.” Researchers Huijun Su, Shaobo Shi, Ming Zhu, and Guanyong Su of China’s Nanjing University of Science and Technology, along with Doug Crump and Robert Letcher of Environment and Climate Change Canada, worked with Giesy to conduct the research. Guanyong Su, who leads the research effort in China, was a former student with Giesy at USask and then a post-doctoral fellow with Environment Canada. LCD panels are almost exclusively produced in three Asian countries: China, Japan, and South Korea. It’s estimated that

198 million square metres of liquid crystal display were produced last year — enough to cover the entire Caribbean island of Aruba. “Since there are more and more of these devices being made, there’s a higher chance of them getting into the environment,” said Giesy. For many years, huge amounts of globally produced e-waste — including LCD displays — have been dismantled, disposed of, and introduced into the environment. “Right now, there are no measurements of these monomers in surface waters. Our next steps are to understand the fate and effect of these chemicals in the environment,” said Giesy. In his previous work, Giesy was also the first researcher to identify that toxic perfluorinated and polyfluorinated chemicals were widespread in contaminating the environment. His research ultimately resulted in the entire

class of chemicals being banned globally. The research was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, other Chinese research funding programs, and Environment and Climate Change Canada. Giesy, professor at the USask Toxicology Centre, was also supported by a Distinguished Visiting Professorship in the environmental sciences department of Baylor University, Waco, Texas, U.S. The paper including funding details is available here: https://doi.org/10.1073/ pnas.1915322116

Credit unions look to come together By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Cornerstone, Horizon and Plainsview Credit Unions are actively exploring an opportunity to partner together as a single credit union to drive benefits for members, employees and communities. Cornerstone Credit Union serves Yorkton and area with branches in Tisdale, Archerwill, Rose Valley, Wynyard, Ituna, Kelliher, Theodore, Saltcoats and Yorkton. Horizon Credit Union currently has locations at Melville, Grayson, Grenfell, Neudorf and Wolseley.

ners and their commitment toward collaboration and a shared vision for the future. Doug Jones, CEO of Cornerstone Credit Union told Yorkton This Week Friday has been “very transparent” in its interest in expanding the access of its members over a larger area, adding while it is not the only factor to consider, there is generally “value in scale.” The last time Cornerstone grew it added the then Tisdale Credit Union to the fold, a process that took place in 2007. Jones said the decision to look at such a major

Plainsview Credit Union offers services to members from eleven physical branch locations; Arcola, Kennedy, Kipling, Glenavon, Montmartre, Odessa, Vibank, Indian Head, Qu’Appelle, Govan and Emerald Park. The three partner credit unions have engaged in discussions regarding the design and potential to form a new credit union. This is a significant undertaking that has been led by the Boards of Directors and Executive Management of each credit union. Bringing three mature credit unions together is a testament to the strength of the part-

coming together came about through general discussions as part of the broader credit union system in Saskatchewan. “There’s a healthy dialogue within the credit union system all the time,” he said, adding through such discussions the three involved became aware that a strategic alignment that could benefit members. “There is an appetite for doing this together.” Jones said ultimately it comes down to wanting to grow to better serve members of the three existing credit unions. Jones said the credit unions are looking forward to continue working together for the benefit

of all stakeholders; members, employees and communities. “Over time, the goal is for members to benefit through greater access and convenience, better advice, products and services along with improved technology,” stated the release. “Employees will benefit from having a broader network, expanded career opportunities and improved work experience through increased effectiveness and better technology. This opportunity will help ensure we can continue to support communities whether financially, as volunteers, or with effective ways to provide advice and service into the future. Each credit union today is striving to achieve these things, however together we are better.” The shared future vision of the three credit union partners is a new credit union that is operationally competitive and differentiated through its commitment to member wellbeing via trusted advice and service as well as concern for community, detailed a release on the proposed merger. A new credit union will be more sustainable and better able to leverage opportunities and manage risks in the ever-changing financial services marketplace. Jones said at this point it has not been decided what the merged credit union might be called.

“That’s to be determined,” he said, adding it could be one of the existing names, or a brand new name. “That will be part of the business case discussions.” The new credit union would become the 4th largest credit union in Saskatchewan with approximately $1.72 billion in assets, serving over 35,000 members in 23 communities throughout eastcentral Saskatchewan and will employ approximately 285 people. “The next step of the partnership is a due diligence process of building the formal business case for the combined credit union,” stated the release. “Once the business case is finalized, it will be reviewed for approval by the Board of Directors of each of the three credit unions. Once the business case is approved by the partner Boards, each credit union will begin a formal consultation process with their members, so they have the opportunity to learn more about the proposed new credit union.” The final approval will be a vote by members of each participating credit union to approve a resolution as recommended by their Board of Directors. It is expected this process will continue throughout 2020. If approved, the new credit union would be launched in January 2021.

Nine months might seem like a long ways away for some things, but when you are planning a national conference it’s actually right around the corner. The four conference co-chairs (pictured above) Roby Sharpe, Johnna McBride, Mike Haczkewicz, and Dennis Nesseth are busy planning for the Canadian Student Leadership Conference. The event shall be hosted in Yorkton from September 22-26th. This will be the third time that Yorkton hosts the event, a first for any Canadian city. The conference began in Yorkton in September of 1985 and then returned for the 10th Annual in 1994. All staff at the YRHS are on board for the event that will see upwards of 900 students from across Canada converge upon Yorkton for the week-long event. The students shall be accompanied by 300 student advisors as well. Roby Sharpe would be the first to say, “this event is massive, it’s gonna take our entire staff, student co-chairs, spirit leaders, student volunteers along with any additional support from in and around the community to pull it off.” With that in mind the organizers would welcome any and all volunteers that would like to assist with the conference. If you are interested in volunteering in some capacity, large or small, the easiest way to become involved would be to visit the YRHS website at: https://www.gssd.ca/school/yrh/Pages/ default.aspx#/= Once at the website click on the ‘School Info’ button and find the ‘CSLC 2020’ button. Once you have clicked on this button there will be a ‘Volunteer’ button that takes you to the actual form. Fellow Co-Chair Johnna McBride would echo Sharpe’s comments and add in that along with Volunteers, Conference Sponsors are also still being sought out. According to McBride, ‘The budget for this event has been set at $1 000 000.00, it’s no small event by any means.’ Many Yorkton and area businesses have already stepped up to help with sponsoring the event and the YRHS is extremely thankful for their support. Sponsorships can come a variety of ways, while a cash donation is always welcome there have been many ‘in-kind donations’ as well. Anyone who might be interested in helping out as sponsor is asked to contact our Sponsorship Committee Chairperson Michael Chapman. Mr. Chapman can be reached at; Michael.Chapman@gssd.ca McBride added, ‘all sponsors big or small are all welcome, we will not be turning anyone away.’ A final area that is of huge importance with regards to CSLC 2020 is the area of billeting. It is a stipulation of the Conference Board of Directors that the student delegates, all 900 of them, are billeted out in local homes. Mike Haczkewicz, was quick to add, ‘the billeting experience is one that the students quite often give little thought to initially, but by the end of the conference most of the delegates have formed long-lasting relationships with their billet-families.’ The conference committee has targeted upwards of 400 homes to be billet families for the conference. Billets must be able to house at least two student delegates in separate beds. More billeting information is available by contacting the Billet Committee Chairperson Alan Kyle. Mr. Kyle may be reached at alan.kyle@gssd.ca Anyone wanting further conference information is welcome to contact the school at 306-786-5560 and ask to speak to Mrs. McBride or Mr. Haczkewicz.

Preeceville air cadets top squadron in Saskatchewan Courtesy of Preeceville Progress The 606 Preeceville Harvard Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron was presented the Top Air Cadet Squadron in a special ceremony. Saskatchewan’s Provincial Military Liaison, MLA Greg Lawrence presented the Premier’s Commendation of Achievement certificate and pins to each cadets at the Preeceville Legion Hall on December 11. “The cadet program is a wonderful opportunity for youth in Saskatchewan,” Lawrence said. “Young people in the province can take part in a variety of environmental, citizenship and community activities through the cadet program, helping them to learn life and work skills that will serve them well in the future. Development in areas such as physical fitness and effective team-

work through this program are particularly important in securing future success. The cadets marched past and saluted Lawrence and other officials: Pete Garton, Air Cadet League representative; Captain Don Thomson, Zone Training Officer; Captain Troy Rogowski from the 606 Harvard squadron; Terry Dennis, MLA for Canora Pelly constituency; Ian Abbott, Nathan Karcha, Levi Young and Jordan Lowe, all staff members from the 606 Harvard squadron. Mayor Garth Harris and town councillors were all in attendance as they showed their support for the cadet program. “The commendation is a reflection of active participation in region activities by the cadets and its dedicated staff,” said Captain Thomson. “It is a huge honour for a rural squadron to receive this honour. The Preeceville

squadron has showed a 25 percent participation over a four-year span where the larger centres have only a 10 percent participation. The Preeceville squadron has a great support through its leaders, staff, support committee and community in general,” said Thomson. Pete Garton, Air Cadet Squadron League representative, also took the opportunity to present Blair Karcha of Sturgis with a 65-inch Smart television which was the second prize in the League’s car raffle. Sierra and Shaylyn Karcha accepted the prize on the behalf of their uncle. Air cadets are open to youths between 12 and 18 years and there is no registration fee. The purpose of cadets is to develop in youths the attributes of leadership and engage in active citizenship and physical fitness within an environment that stimulates an

Choose a freshly cut tree with healthy needles that don’t easily fall out. Make a bevel cut at the base of the trunk and secure the tree in a container ﬁlled with two to three litres of water. Place the tree far from heat sources, and water it every day so it doesn’t dry out. Finally, take down your tree after 14 days at the most, even if it still looks relatively healthy.

Be informed about cannabis edibles Cannabis edibles, extracts and topicals may soon be available for purchase, under federal and provincial cannabis laws. With these products becoming available, there are important points consumers should keep in mind regarding the retail and consumption of cannabis. Some other things to keep in mind if you choose to consume cannabis products: • In Saskatchewan, the minimum age for buying and consuming all forms of cannabis, including edibles, is 19 years of age. • All cannabis products, including edibles that may look like candy, baked goods or other food items, should be stored in a place that cannot be reached by children or pets. • Possession of any amount of non-medical cannabis by a minor is pro-

hibited. • Licensed retailers are required to follow specific health and safety guidelines regarding the products they sell. Unsure if you’re buying from a legal source? The list of licensed retailers in Saskatchewan (stores and online) can be found on SLGA’s website at https://www.slga.com/ permits-and-licences/cannabis-permits/cannabisretailing/cannabis-retailers-in-saskatchewan. • Edible cannabis may take hours longer to take effect than smoking cannabis. The effects of edibles are also generally more intense and last longer than the effects of inhaling cannabis. • Consuming any form of non-medical cannabis in public spaces is prohibited. Individuals can only carry up to 30 grams of dried cannabis or equivalent in public.

• Possessing, consuming or distributing any form of cannabis in a vehicle could result in a $300 fine. Cannabis can only be transported from one lawful place (store, home) to another lawful place (home, another’s home). This is consistent with the rules already in place for alcohol and vehicles. • There is zero tolerance for all drug-impaired driving in Saskatchewan. • Penalties for driving under the influence of cannabis may include immediate license suspension, vehicle seizure for up to 60 days, and license suspension for up to five years upon conviction of drugimpaired driving. These laws apply to everyone, including medicinal users of cannabis. • Penalties in place for provincial cannabis

offences range from $200 to $2,250. In more serious instances, individuals

could be charged with a provincial offence and face fines ranging from

$25,000 to $100,000 and imprisonment of up to six months.

Lemberg hosts Muyres curling clinic Lemberg, SK. was recently (Dec. 15), host to the 2019-2020 Corr Grain Community Rocks Curling Tour presented by Crescent Point. This is the eighth annual Community Rocks events. The initiative is Muyres Curling’s way of driving participation by visiting three communities across Saskatchewan and teaching youth about Curling, sport, dedication, teamwork and work ethic. Muyres Curling, was the 2019 Team Saskatchewan at the Tim Horton’s Brier, led by skip Kirk Muyres who is

a five-time brier competitor, 2015 Brier Bronze Medalist 2017 Olympic Trials Qualifier, 2018 World Mixed Doubles Bronze Medalist and 2018 World Cup Winner The day consisted of the team signing autographs, taking pictures, teaching skills and chatting with the kids about their own experiences and allowing the kids to meet the Olympic hopefuls. Numerous Curling clubs across the province submitted applications to host. In February, 2020 Wynyard Curling Club will host the team. The team says the

events are a way to encourage youth to learn about curling, skill development, but most importantly to grow con-

fidence and have fun! “We are super lucky to have sponsors that allow us to help promote and grow the sport that has given so much. Since 2012, we have seen the commitment from companies like Corr Grain and Crescent Point and we continue to grow it bigger,” said, Kirk Muyres, in a release. “The spe-

Brick Mill dollars declined by City

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer City funding for the old brick mill didn’t survive 2020 deliberations. But, some behind the scenes lobbying of Yorkton Council members by the Brick Mill Committee had the request back before Council at its regular meeting Monday. At the July 29, 2019 Council meeting, the Brick Mill Committee requested additional funding from the City for further improvements and expansion plans for a Brick Mill Interpretive Center, explained Lonnie Kaal, City Manager with the City Monday. The estimated costs of the entire project are $1,300,000 and the request was for the City to commit $300,000 to show support. The committee would continue to apply for grants and do fundraising. The request was referred to 2020 Budget deliberations. But the project was cut from the final budget approved Monday. “During 2020 Budget talks, the project was declined primarily because of concerns regarding long-term sustainability,” said Kaal. Some Brick Mill Committee members have since had discussions with Administration and

various Councillors, she added. Kaal said the committee understood the City’s concerns but were hopeful “Council will re-consider the request if they can prove that future income will ensure that taxpayers will not need to subsidize the operations.” As an option Administration suggested that Council set aside $300,000 for the Brick Mill Committee project to be funded from future rainy day reserves. The money would only be provided on the premise that the Yorkton Brick Flour Mill Committee can demonstrate long-term sustainability. It was also noted the Yorkton Brick Flour Mill Committee can demonstrate that they have the resources to complete each component prior to starting construction, and the concept and estimated costs be presented to City Administration for approval prior to proceeding. And, that the Yorkton Brick Flour Mill Committee be assigned the lead on the project as long as they adhere to the National Building Code, Occupational Health and Safety Regulations and any other regulations for which the City may otherwise be responsible.

Mayor Bob Maloney said while there are questions still to be answered regarding the project “I trust this committee to move this forward.” Maloney also noted that the mill is one of only a few historic buildings left in the city, and so has merit in being maintained. Coun. Randy Goulden agreed on the building be worth preserving because we “don’t have many of them in the city.” Goulden also agreed with a suggestion by Coun. Mitch Hippsley that the mill showcases “our agriculture background,” which both said had merit. Coun. Darcy Zaharia had concerns over whether the project could be financially viable over the longer term, but Kaal said a plan that Council would need to accept was part of the details in providing the dollars. In the end Council voted unanimously to provide the $300,000 pending the Brick Mill Committee meeting the conditions outlined.

Angels” around Kate Jackson, then cast Jaclyn Smith and finally an unknown unpolished actress/model, Farrah Fawcett. The three stars spent as much time in front of full-length mirrors on the set as they did with their scripts. The show hit big and ran for five years. In 2000, a film version was made with Drew Barrymore (also one of the producers with Leonard Goldberg), Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu as the “Angels” with Bill Murray as Bosley, Sam Rockwell, Tim Curry and John Forsythe (as “Charlie”). The film cost $93 million and earned $264 million. That prompted a sequel in 2003 with Barrymore, Diaz and Liu, along with Crispin Glover, Bernie Mac as Bosley, Demi Moore, Justin Theroux, Shia LaBeouf and John Forsythe (as “Charlie” again). The sequel cost $120 million and grossed $259 million. Fast-forward to last month, when the new “Charlie’s Angels” (without Leonard Goldberg as a producer) opened with Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska.

Kristen Stewart became a star because of “The Twilight Saga” (2008-2012), however, her next 10 films, mostly low-budget, were box-office failures. Elizabeth Banks wrote/ co-produced and directed the film, in addition to playing Bosley (the wife of John Bosley, played by Patrick Stewart). Since John Forsythe has passed away, the voice of Charlie is by Robert Clotworthy. Unfortunately Kristen Stewart and this no-star cast couldn’t sell tickets and the film, which cost $75 million, has earned less than $50 million. Also a disappointment at the box office was “Terminator: Dark Force,” despite reteaming Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton. It cost $196 million and only earned $234 million. “Doctor Sleep,” the sequel to “The Shining,” cost $55 million and earned $55 million. The good news is the “Downton Abbey” film, which cost $20 million, has already earned $184 million. There’s now no doubt they’re planning at least two more sequels, because the public has spoken!

Yorkton hosts Bantam ‘B’ tourney By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Bantam ‘B’ Tournament was held over the weekend in the city. When the final shift had been taken the local Yorkton Correct Choice Terriers lost in the ‘A’ side final 6-3 to the Melville Aces. The ‘B’ side final was an all Prince Albert affair with the Prince Albert Hurricanes topping the Prince Albert Thunder 6-2. The Churchbridge CEL Imperials won the ‘C’ side

Needle drop bins installed in Yorkton By Devin Wilger Staff Writer There are now three locations to discard used needles in Yorkton. Part of a harm reduction strategy, the three needle drop bins have been installed at the Yorkton Fire Hall, the Yorkton Regional Health Centre and SIGN on Broadway to give a safe, convenient, place to discard any sharps. Dr. Ashok Chhetri Saskatchewan Health Authority Medical Health Officer for Yorkton, said that the harm reduction is no different from things like seat belts or helmets, ways to keep the community safe. “We have a comprehensive program. This is part of the public health disease control program.” This program also includes providing clean needles and syringes, safe injection kits, naloxone kits to prevent overdose deaths and education programs. The sharps dispos-

al is one component of the overall program to help reduce harm. In the case of sharps disposal it’s also a response to a problem that Saskatchewan faces surrounding HIV rates. Chhetri explained that in this province, the highest risk factor surrounding HIV is intravenous drug use, and the HIV rates are the highest in Canada. “Our aim is to provide them with the support and services so theyhcan make a choice of having a clean needle, not to go sharing needles. We want to prevent the spread of HIV and hepatitis C.” Having the drop bins will reduce the number of needles found, and Chhetri said that having the bins available will help reduce the number of discarded needles found. The bins also have information about local services and where people should call if they need advice. Juanita Polegi with the

Yorkton Chamber of Commerce said that she’s glad to see the business community was part of the process, to ensure that the drop bins are in appropriate places. She feels like the fire hall location, for example, is a logical place because it’s somewhere people are comfortable approaching and also near the downtown. Fire Chief Trevor Morrissey said that they were advocating a needle drop bin because it’s a way to prevent injury in the community, while people often didn’t know what to do with sharps and would discard them in ways that introduce risk to others in the community. Having a needle drop bin in a convenient location, it will service everyone who uses sharps in their life, whether it’s due to disease or other reasons. “Inappropriate or improper disposal, that’s the problem. The improper disposal in our downtown core, it’s kind of that out of sight, out of mind for

some people... You get them in back alleys, you can tell people aren’t doing it to be malicious. They just don’t know where to take them, so we’re providing a visible bin that they can take them to, no questions asked.” Morrissey said that it’s important that people look at the bins, to ensure that it’s a needle drop location, because there are other bins in the city which are yellow, but not needle drop locations. He said that people have to look for the SaskHealth decals and the Needle Drop sig-

Glory to The Newborn King! With resounding gratitude and best wishes to all at this glorious time of year.

nage to make sure they’re putting sharps in the right place. Plenty of people might not have experience with sharps and what to do if they find them. Morrissey said that if people call 306786-1795 they can arrange for education to show people how to properly handle sharps. If someone can’t safely handle the sharps, for example not having a container to transport it, they can call 306-786-1797 and give their name, the time and, most importantly, the location of the needle, in order to get some-

one to safely handle it. “The more community involvement we can get, the more normalcy comes to it and it’s just another day in the life.” If someone is poked by a needle, Chhetri said they need to wash with soap and water and head to the emergency room. He also said do not squeeze the injury. He notes there hasn’t been HIV transmission due to a needle stick injury, but recommends people follow protocol to ensure there is no risk of infection.

Q: What happened to the game show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”? Will it ever return? -—J.A. A: “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” debuted 20 years ago with huge ratings in prime time with host Regis Philbin. It then went on to become a weekday syndicated show in 2002 with various hosts over the years, beginning with a long run by Meredith Viera followed

by Cedric the Entertainer, Terry Crews and Chris Harrison. Alas, it was canceled in May 2019 and at this time there are no plans to revive it. According to Slate.com, “At its peak, ‘Millionaire’ was more popular than ‘Monday Night Football.’” This was, of course, the original prime time version. I think the show just needed a break and could be a big hit again. Perhaps a network will bring it back for occasional special events or for a full season in the summer months instead of a daily syndicated program. In the meantime, keep an eye out

DEAR DR. ROACH: My boyfriend recently was diagnosed with an aneurysm. The report says the abdominal aorta is 3.02 cm in largest dimension and recommends screening every six months. Do we need to see a cardiologist for a second opinion? Is there medication to help? — B.S. ANSWER: The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the body. It comes directly off the left ventricle of the heart and supplies blood to the entire body. It may become enlarged either in the chest (a thoracic aneurysm) or in the abdomen. Abdominal aortic aneurisms are more common in men, especially over 65, and smoking is the biggest risk factor. There are contributing familial conditions as well, such as

Marfan syndrome. Most people have an abdominal aorta that is no bigger than 3 cm, so your boyfriend is just barely over the cutoff. His risk for rupture, the dreaded complication of an AAA, is negligible at this size. I agree with the screening recommendations, and would advise tobacco cessation if he smokes, regular moderate exercise and control of blood pressure if high. Seeing a cardiologist would be very reasonable: Your boyfriend could get personalized advice on risk reduction. Although aspirin and statin drugs may have a benefit, the evidence for it is weak. Most experts do not recommend them unless there are other indications for taking them. DEAR DR. ROACH: I had a hernia operation in 2015. The repair included insertion of mesh patches that now have been recalled. Since the operation, I have had many health issues. Is there a blood test or other test to see if the mesh is the cause of my problems? Should

Q: I saw the actress who used to play Amanda on “All My Children” on the Netflix show “Selling Sunset” as a real estate agent. Does she really work in that field, or is she just playing a character? — T.M. A: Chrishell Stause, who changed her name to Chrishell Hartley after marrying “This Is Us” star Justin Hartley two years ago, has worked as a real estate agent in the Los Angeles area for a while now. When she’s not acting on soaps (most recently as Jordan on “Days of Our Lives”), she’s selling homes in the Valley. “Selling Sunset” is pro-

duced by Adam Divello, who created the fictionmeets-reality hit series “The Hills.” So if you’ve watched “The Hills” or its predecessor, “Laguna Beach,” you know that it’s not exactly a straight documentary. Only Chrishell knows how much of herself she’s bringing to her character and how much is scripted. If there’s another season, it will be interesting to see if Chrishell mentions her recent split with Justin Hartley, who has filed for divorce. Send me your questions at NewCelebrityExtra@ gmail.com, or write me at KFWS, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.

I have it removed and replaced? I am 83. — J.C.L. ANSWER: Surgical mesh is commonly used in hernia repair, as well as in many gynecologic surgeries. Mesh reduces the need for re-operation. However, there is an increased rate of long-term complications that partially offsets the benefit of using mesh. Complications related to the mesh can be very serious, such as bowel obstruction, perforation or bleeding; these usually require urgent surgery. However, symptoms also may be less specific, and include pain, non-healing wounds and infection. Of people with a mesh repair,

4% to 6% had evidence of complications after five years of follow-up, according to a well-done study from Denmark. I am aware of recalled mesh products (49 out of the top 50 results on a web search were from personal injury law firms; the 50th was from the Food and Drug Administration) and reports of significantly higher complication rates from recalled (as well as from counterfeit) mesh. Without knowing more about your health issues, it is difficult to weigh in on whether the mesh is likely to be causing it. There is no simple blood or imaging test that will

give a definitive answer. However, if your symptoms are among those possibly related to mesh complication, it absolutely would be appropriate to have a discussion with your surgeon about the upsides and downsides of a reoperation. I would be cautious about recommending another surgery for an 83-year-old, unless the

symptoms are significant and your surgeon feels they are likely due to mesh complications. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med. cornell.edu.

Did you know? Carpet can add warmth and texture to a room and also provide a little bit of soundproofing. Underfoot, carpeting can be more comfortable than other types of flooring, even though it may require more upkeep. Carpet comes in various forms, but here are the main material components. • Nylon: This is one of the most durable and stain-resistant carpet fibers available and a popular choice among many homeowners. • Polyester: Carpeting can be made from polyes-

ter, which is fashioned to feel and look luxurious. • Olefin: Olefin is made from polypropylene or polyethylene. It is prized for its strength, resistance to staining and colorfastness. It is often suited well to loop pile or high, dense cut piles. • Wool: Wool is durable, albeit less resistant to soiling than some other materials.

too many movies, but I hardly see Pacino in anything anymore. — K.Y. A: Al Pacino does seem to be more selective in the films he accepts roles in, but I have a feeling you’re going to like his most recent one. He’s currently playing Jimmy Hoffa in the Martin Scorsese film “The Irishman,” which recently was made available on Netflix after a brief run in theaters. Coincidentally, De Niro also is in the movie as a World War II veteran turned hitman. Now we’ll just have to see if the Academy takes notice and rewards them with more Oscars for their mantles.

Crokicurl new winter sport in city By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer If you are seeking something new to try in terms of wintertime fun, then you might want to check out two new crokicurl locations in the city. Yorkton Parks and Recreation has been at work installing crokicurl rings at two locations in the city; Silver Heights Park and Heritage Heights Park. Taylor Morrision with the City department said the rules of the game are pretty straight forward. The game uses what appear to be the rings of a curling sheet, with added ‘pegs’ that make it closer to the boardgame crokinole. Players slide milk jugs

• It was Polish chess grandmaster Savielly Tartakower who made the following sage observation: “Victory goes to

filled with frozen water and try to get them into a small depression in the middle of the rings, or to knock an opponent’s jugs out of the rings. The jugs will be provided at both locations. “It’s basically the standard crokinole rules,” he said. The idea for the combined game seems to have started in Winnipeg, said Morrison, adding “it’s become popular in a lot of communities across the country” Morrison said the City is just in the process of completing painting of the rings, and it is expected both sites will be ready for play next week, in time for the holidays.

the player who makes the next-to-last mistake.” • Worldwide, herbivores kill more people than carnivores.

With Best Wishes at the Holidays

Residents will soon be able to experience crokicurl. • Bulletproof vests, fire escapes, windshield wipers and laser printers all were invented by women. • Japanese scientists have discovered that the human body emits a very slight, yet perceptible, glow. After using a special camera to study a sample of men in their 20s, they found that intensity of the glow varies, with the lowest point at around 10 a.m. and the brightest at 4 a.m.

• In 1743, a hand-operated elevator was installed in the palace of Versailles. Louis XV used it to visit Madame de Chateauroux, his mistress. • Due to a quirk in the transition from one kind of calendar system to another, nobody was born between Oct. 4 and Oct. 15 in continental Europe in the year 1582. • If you’re like me, social situations can be a

I love a hosting parties, but I find the best parties are the ones where everyone brings a great story and their favorite recipe to share. A cookie Christmas party checks all those boxes, and it’s an inexpensive way to entertain. The first cookie exchange party started more than 70 years ago. It was usually a social event for women and extremely popular with women’s clubs and church groups. Each person baked one or two dozen of their favorite cookies and exchanged one with each person in attendance. The party also is a wonderful way to collect the personal stories behind the cookies. Sharing stories also acts as an icebreaker and a way for guests to get to know each other. • Set a beautiful table

and arrange all the cookies as the guests arrive. You can place the plates of cookies at different heights using a few books covered by a tablecloth, or by using cake pedestals. • If the cookies or candies have been frozen, label them “Previously Frozen.” This will prevent the recipients from freezing the items again, which may alter the flavor and texture of the cookie. • Arrange the furniture and the serving tables so that your guests can move easily around the room and the serving tables. • Provide small cups, mugs, plates and napkins so that your guests can serve themselves. • Eating sweets induces thirst! Have self-serve pitchers of ice and sparkling water on hand, along with coffee, cider, hot chocolate, juices or sodas. Here are two recipes — one for a cool and refreshing Christmas Fizz, and another for a warm and flavorful Tres Leches Hot Chocolate With Coconut Milk. Both recipes go perfectly with cookies! Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Every holiday, I try to take a nice photo of our two dogs that we can frame. And every holiday, I get a series of terrible, blurry pictures. The dogs move constantly. How do the pros do it? — Jim H., via email

DEAR JIM: Pet photography really is a skill. I have the same problem myself — often I’ve seen my pets sitting in just the right pose, framed by the window with the setting sun in the background. But before I can grab my smartphone to snap a photo, they’ve moved, the light has changed, and the magic is gone. Here are a few tips on getting great, natural-looking photos of your pets, even with a smartphone camera: — Be patient: Getting the best shot takes prac-

3 to 4 ounces of seltzer. Squeeze a wedge of lime into the glass. For a garnish, use a toothpick to skewer a whole cranberry and half slice of lime, if desired. To make a pitcher of the Christmas Fizz, mix 1 cup of cranberry-pomegranate simple syrup with 3 cups of seltzer water. Squeeze in the juice of one lime. Taste and add additional simple syrup, if desired. Chill before serving. CHRISTMAS FIZZ For the Simple Syrup: If your cranberry and/ or pomegranate juice is already sweetened, reduce the amount of sugar in the simple syrup to 1/2 cup. •1/2 cup unsweetened 100% cranberry juice •1/2 cup unsweetened 100% pomegranate juice •1 cup sugar To Make Simple Syrup: In a small pot, stir together fruit juices and sugar. Set pot over mediumhigh heat and bring to a boil. Turn to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring tice. You may need to wait for your pet to sit or lie down in the right spot. — Go to their level: Get down on the floor with your pets and bring the camera lens even with their eyes and nose. You will get some intriguing shots. — Wait for pets to settle down, then surprise them: This works best with dogs who respond well to commands. Have them sit or lie down, and once they’re in place and relaxed, call their name just as you take the photo. — Use natural light:

until sugar completely dissolves. Pour syrup in a jar and cool completely. Store in refrigerator until ready to use. For each Christmas Fizz: •1 ounce simple syrup •3 to 4 ounces seltzer •Squeeze of fresh lime juice •Whole cranberries and slices of lime for garnish, optional To make the Christmas Fizz: Pour 1 ounce of cranberry-pomegranate simple syrup into a champagne flute or glass. Top with Camera flashes reflect off the back of the eye to create the dreaded red-eye effect. Open the window shades to let in as much light as possible. — Be prepared for more than one session: Take photos over the span of a few days — you’ll get more practice, and your dogs may get more comfortable with the process. Send your comments, questions or tips to ask@ pawscorner.com.

TRES LECHES HOT CHOCOLATE WITH COCONUT MILK If you’re expecting a crowd, double the recipe and place the hot chocolate in a slow cooker on low heat. To serve, ladle drink into mugs and top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings and toasted coconut, if desired. •3 cups almond milk •1 (14-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk •2/3 cup (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk •2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder •1/2 teaspoon vanilla

In medium saucepan combine fat-free milk, coconut milk and sweetened condensed milk. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Whisk in cocoa powder until wellcombined. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Serve in mugs topped with whipped cream, and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings and toasted coconut. Makes 5 (1 cup) servings.

Public notice is hereby given that the Council of the R.M. of Orkney No. 244, intends to adopt Bylaw Z2/12 under The Planning and Development Act, 2007 to amend Bylaw No. Z2/94, known as the Yorkton Planning District Zoning Bylaw. Intent The proposed bylaw Z2/12 will: In Memoriam In Memoriam A) Rezone proposed twelve (3.5 acre) parcels on the NW 24-25-42, from A-Agricultural to C1 - Highway Commercial and Light Industrial.

Affected Land The affected land to be rezoned is legally described as NW 24-25-4-2 twelve proposed 3.5 acre parcels shown within the bold dashed outline on the following map.

Neil Thom

June 29, 1962 - December 23, 2018 Proposed parcels on the NW 24-25-4-2

First layer, second layer, then the bare bones. Take that outer shell off and it’s just you that is underneath it all, isn’t it? You know the inner voice, the one you’ve talked with all these years, even wrestled with, that very final thing living inside of you. Funny thing though, you can go along life’s way (your choice of course) and forget to check in with your real self for days and for some of us, even decades. And when you do that “little ole” reconnect it’s because either you or someone in your life has a heart hurdle, and that’s where the real life conversation begins. ~ Neil Thom May the winds of Heaven blow softly and whisper in your ear How much we love and miss you and wish that you were here.

Reason The reasons for the amendments are: - Julianne, Michael, Kayla, Sarah, 1) To accommodate subdivisions of the quarter section for proposed Aldrick Kristian twelve (3.5 acre) parcels for theand intended use of highway commercial and light industrial.

“Ready or Not” (R) — Wedding traditions are nothing new; people have been observing them for years. But the Le Domas family, rich and eccentric as they are, have taken the ritual far beyond “something borrowed, something blue” to something dark and dangerous. Blushing bride Grace (Samara Weaving) is feted by new husband Adam (Mark O’Brian) at his family’s estate, where each new addition is initiated with a game. Grace’s is hide

and seek, and she quickly finds out that it’s kill or be killed before sunup. Andie MacDowell, Adam Brody and Henry Czerny co-star in a terrifically unapologetic black comedy. “The Goldfinch” (R) — Ansel Elgort (and Oakes Fegley, playing the younger years) stars as Theodore Decker, a young man whose mother dies in an explosion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Theo survives, and retains as a palpable reminder of this event, a painting called “The Goldfinch.” His resulting journey — his homes and relationships collected along the way — are always colored by the loss of his mother and the retention of the painting.

Ansel Elgort in “The Goldfinch”. It’s based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name, but boiled down, it lacks the depth of Donna Tartt’s 800 pages. “Killerman” (R) —

Moe Diamond (Liam Hemsworth) has a couple of problems. First, he’s a sleazy money launderer who got caught up with some dirty cops in a deal

Shauna after a bad day. Thomas tried to get his dad on board with his new plan. Steffy showed compassion for Ridge’s heartbreak. Steffy worried that Thomas was doing the runway show for the wrong reasons. Hope was determined to find a designer other than Thomas to work on her campaign. Thomas

had a fantasy about life 10 years in the future. Wait to See: Liam and Steffy bring Zoe on board to get the dirt on Thomas.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL Ridge begged Brooke

not to let her animosity toward his son destroy their relationship. Liam worried that Hope was ignoring red flags when it came to Thomas’s offer. Meanwhile, Zoe asked Thomas what his true feelings were for Hope. Eric learned of Ridge and Brooke’s impending divorce. Ridge turned to

gone wrong. Second, he has amnesia and doesn’t know he’s a sleazy money launderer who got caught up with some dirty cops in a deal gone wrong. All he does know is that he’s got a pile of cash and drugs and a whole lot of trouble. It is shot in a 1970s haze that feels authentically gritty, but the whole business could have been handled in less than 70 minutes, while director Malik Bader stretches it out to nearly 120. “The Parts You Lose” (NR) — A young deaf boy (Danny Murphy) finds an injured stranger (Aaron Paul) in the snow.

Tropical tasting dessert an entertaining hit What could make Christmas dessert even better? A dessert reminiscent of a tropical island, of course. Pineapple and coconut are two flavors that evoke Caribbean shores. Pineapple upside down cake is a familiar dessert classic on which people can put their own unique spins.

This Week Marketplace | December 20, 2019

Rental fraud pervasive among home, and vacation property listings in losses associated with complaints that mention the word “rent.” Many consumers look for rental listings on free classified listing sites like Craigslist in the U.S. and Kijiji in Canada, as well as Facebook Marketplace. They also check websites such as Apartments.com, Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com and Homes.com. Fake listings turn up frequently on these sites, despite the companies’ efforts to keep scam listings off their sites and warn consumers about potential fraud. The study finds that while the most fraud reports come from the largest metropolitan areas, no geographic area in North America appears to be safe from it. In 2018, rental scams accounted for slightly less than 1% of all scams reported to BBB Scam Tracker, but in Canada that number was 1.4%, which puts Canadians at higher risk for rental fraud than U.S. consumers. Scams also frequently appear on vacation rental websites such as Airbnb, VRBO and HomeAway. com. They follow the same pattern, preying on vacationers’ inability to check out a listing before paying money for it. Cases also have been noted of scammers luring a renter away from Airbnb to deal with the “landlord” directly or spoofing Airbnb’s site to impersonate the landlord and the company’s payment portal. These companies likewise have warned consumers about potential fraud and taken steps against fake listings. Rental fraud often is committed by Nigerian criminal gangs that participate in other types of fraud. Law enforcement efforts have targeted perpetrators of a variety of rental fraud. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) took action against a company that fraudulently sold credit monitoring that allegedly was required before a consumer could tour a rental property, while another company selling a fake directory of “pre-foreclosure” homes was successfully prosecuted in federal court. In addition to warning consumers of red flags that may signal apartment or vacation rental scams, the report recommends: • Rental unit owners should watermark photos used for rental postings, which will make it more difficult for scammers to

copy photos of other properties posted online. This same technique should be used by realtors posting homes for sale. They are often targeted, copied and used to create a new rental listing unbeknown and unwanted by the homeowner or listing agent. • Website platforms that list houses, apartments and vacation properties should make extra effort to screen for bogus listings (like watermark photos), and they should explore ways to allow consumers to easily report scam listings. • Police should encourage victims to report not only to the rental platform, but also to the FTC, BBB, IC3, or in Canada, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. What to do if you are the victim of a rental scam: • File a report with local police. • Go to BBB.org to view a business’ BBB Business Profile, including complaints and reviews, or to file a complaint or report a scam on Scam Tracker. • Contact the Federal Trade Commission at ftc. gov/complaint or by calling 877-FTC-HELP. • File a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center. • For incidents in Canada, contact the

The place seems like a dream come true: the right space, the right location, the right price. But is it really for rent? Or will the renter or traveler arrive to find their money gone with nowhere to stay? An in-depth investigative study by Better Business Bureau (BBB) finds that fraud is widespread in the online rental home and vacation rental market, with 43% of online shoppers encountering a fake listing and more than 5 million consumers losing money to such scams. The investigative study — Is That Rental Listing Real? A BBB Study of Rental Scams Involving Apartments, Houses and Vacation Properties — notes that 85% of consumers encountering fake rental listings do not fall for them. However, these figures suggest that the volume of rental scams lurking on the internet is staggering. Read the full study here: (https://www. bbb.org/article/newsreleases/21033-bbb-investigation-rental-scams) According to the study, rental scams can take several forms, but perhaps most commonly, fraudsters simply copy the photo and description of a property, post it online with their own contact information and try to get a deposit and first month’s rent from the victim. The fraudster may communicate only by email or text message and may claim to be out of the country and unavailable to show the property. Once the victim sends money, the fraudster disappears. In less common types of fraud, victims may be enticed to buy an online directory of homes supposedly for rent, or they may be tricked into signing up for credit monitoring that comes with recurring monthly charges. “While an advertised rental that meets your needs at a great price might be tempting, it just may be a scam,” Karen Smith, CEO of BBB Saskatchewan says. “Consumers shouldn’t rush into paying upfront fees for renting housing sight-unseen. Instead, take time to verify the details of listings.” BBB Scam Tracker has received more than 1,300 reports of rental fraud from 2016 to 2019, while the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) reports more than $37 million from January 1, 2019, through October 20, 2019,
