RECHARGE DAYS

Over the last couple of years there has been a lot of interest in hearing aids with rechargeable batteries. The older versions had a lot of hiccups/issues and were not very reliable. In my mind, you paid more for rechargeable hearing aids and received an inferior product. I am pleased to announce a new version of rechargeable that has finally addressed and corrected the problems. To help introduce this new version I have made a special deal with the manufacturer. From Jan 15, 2020 to Feb 27, 2020 we will offer this new version of rechargeable hearing aid(s) plus a TV connector at

no extra charge ........ a savings of over $600.00.

You will receive rechargeable hearing aids, a charging base plus a TV connector that will hook the TV directly to your hearing aids , all at No extra charge.

Team Zuravloff takes top prize at Canora Town and Country Bonspiel for second year in a row Courtesy of The Canora Courier The final results at the Canora Town and Country Bonspiel, held from January 30 to February 2 at the Sylvia Fedoruk Centre, had a distinctive family flavour. Team Zuravloff and Team Kolodziejski won first place in two of the three event finals. Team Zuravloff of Canora, made up of Kent Zuravloff (skip), Rob Zuravloff (third), Brandon Zuravloff (second) and Lane Zuravloff (lead), took top spot in the A event final over a tough Sheldon Luciw rink from Preeceville. The Zuravloff foursome scored an early four-

ender and jumped out to a 5 to 1 lead, but the Luciw team battled back and tied the A final at 6 to 6 heading into the eighth and final end. Team Zuravloff had last rock coming home, and took full advantage. Luciw had two counters in the house, but Rob Zuravloff, shooting fourth rocks for team Zuravloff, calmly executed the winning draw, called by Kent Zuravloff and swept by Brandon and Lane Zuravloff. The Canora rink skipped by Don Probe won the B event final over Lenny Bazarski’s Canora foursome. Probe was joined by Bob Waselenko (third), Brian Herriges (second) and Leona Wolkowski (lead).

The B event winner at the Town and Country Bonspiel was the Don Probe foursome of Canora. From left, were: Probe (skip), Bill Waselenko (third), Brian Herriges (second) and Leona Wolkowski (lead).

Don Probe kept his eye on the broom as he completed his shot. Probe’s Canora rink won the B event final.

In the C event final, Team Kolodziejski of Canora defeated the John Zbitniff rink, also from Canora. Members of the winning rink were: Bob Kolodziejski (skip), Sean Kolodziejski (third), Bryan (Kolodziejski) second and Patty Kolodziejski (lead). A total of 13 teams took part in the bonspiel, with each guaranteed three games. In addition to Canora, other communities represented included Preeceville, Buchanan and Good Spirit Acres. Canora Curling Club events planned for the near future include: the Stick Bonspiel, the Ladies Open Bonspiel and the Men’s Open Bonspiel.

Team Zuravloff of Canora was the A event champion of the Canora Town and Country Bonspiel for the second year in a row, held from January 30 to February 2. From left, were: Kent Zuravloff (skip), Rob Zuravloff (third), Brandon Zuravloff (second) and Lane Zuravloff (lead).

Team Kolodziejski of Canora took first place in the C event. From left, were: Bob Kolodziejski (skip), Sean Kolodziejski (third), Bryan Kolodziejski (second) and Patty Kolodziejski (lead).

Jordan Zbitniff of Canora delivered a rock for the team skipped by his father, John.

Snowmobile season in full swing in Preeceville region Courtesy of Preeceville Progress The snowmobile season has had snowmobilers hitting the snow for a while but the trails were not officially groomed. The Rough Rider Snowmobile Club had some issues with its groomer and being unable to sign the trails has caused trails not to be ready, stated Kellen Mack, groomer. “The groomer is now up and operational and we have been busy grooming trials for the first time. Approximately 95 percent of the trails have now also been signed. Our club member volunteers are limited and it has been challenging this year to get the trails ready,” he said. “The snow conditions are OK but not great, we need another foot of snow to help fill in ruts in the trail. In the forest and pastures, snow is very limited so it does make for rough trails.” The club was forced to close one trail this season which ran from behind the Preeceville Skating Arena to Annie Laurie Lake due to not receiving permission from the landowner. Prior to the season all trails need to be cleared, shelters need to get stocked

nnual 20th A

full of wood and trail signs need to be put up. With 282 km of groomed trails through the Porcupine Forest, across open fields and along some ditches and only very few Club members there is a lot of work that had to be done. The Rough Rider Snowmobile Club is looking for anyone who is willing to donate a few hours of their time to help during the snowmobile season. The Club is encouraging snowmobile fans to get involved in any way. Everyone who uses the trails is encouraged to stay on the marked trails and is reminded they are riding at their own risk. A snowmobile course will be held on February 14 or 15 with Johnny Petryshyn instructing. Rough Rider executive members are: Jamin Englot, president; Gordon Head, vice-president; Jason Feeley, treasurer and Laurie Decker, secretary. Kellen Mac is responsible for grooming the trails. The Rough Rider Snowmobile Club will not be hosting its annual family snowmobiling day due to the lack of volunteers and interest.

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Don Amero is a busy man. His most recent single, ‘Morning Coffee’, was released only last week, and is about to hit radio. He’s also preparing for a tour of Saskatchewan, which will see him come to Yorkton as part of the Yorkton Arts Council’s Stars for Saskatchewan Series. That show is Feb. 25. The flurry of activity from Amero started after he signed with MDM Recordings - the same label as Jess Moskaluke and Charlie Major. With their support, he has been in the studio recording a lot of new music. “It has been an incredible year, I’d say.” He has also been trying new things, testing out different styles and making music that’s a bit different from what he’s recorded in the past. He also said that one of the new things is recording songs written by others, because it’s a way to record things that are in a different style. “I tend to be a melancholy sort of writer. Aim right for the heart and make you want to cry. There are incredible songs out there that need a home, and I don’t write the toe tapping songs that resonate in the country community so much... They’re incredible songs that resonate with me that I feel like I get to be the one presenting them to the world, so I’m really excited about that.” His goal as a performer remains the same, whether it’s a song he’s written or not, and that’s to make songs that can help people. “My hope has never been chasing awards, it has never been chasing fame or money. All of those things are good, they’re nice to have, but it’s never been about that for me. It has been how can I help the person listening? How can I help them in their daily life? If they’re having a tough day, how can I help them out?” That has been the philosophy behind his recent singles, as Amero explained. “Music Lover, as much as that is a really sweet love song, the biggest thing for me with that one, was that if I can get people to love the people who they are with a little harder, to love the people you are beside a little more, that’s the goal there. A song like Church is about centering yourself to the world and connecting more to the ground. That’s what I tend to do, I pick songs where if I can help you in your day, that’s what I intend to do.” Being a performer has taken a lot of work, and Amero said it was his stub-

Don Amero will be the next Stars for Saskatchewan Series performer in Yorkton, Feb. 25. bornness that helped make his career, along with the support of his wife. “I had the audacity to think that I could make it in this industry... I should say, throughout the whole journey, up until about two years ago I’d say, I had these white flag moments where I would say ‘I can’t do this anymore, I have to give up.’ And the next thing you know, something incredible happens that keeps going and fuels the tank that helps you get to the next spot... I’m so glad I stuck with it. I’m at a point right now where I’m not sure what the future holds, but right now it feels like this will be the career for me, I’ll do this until my dying day, and that wouldn’t be the case if I didn’t stick with it.” In spite of being a Manitoba artist, Amero hasn’t done a lot of touring in Saskatchewan. He said he’s excited to get to the province because it’s close to a home town show. “It makes it really relatable that there are a lot of similarities between Saskatchewan and Manitoba, despite our rivalries, I think there is a lot of common ground.” Putting on a tour which will hit many smaller centres, Amero said that he’s excited to connect with people, something he feels can be easier in smaller towns. “It’s really about people, and connecting with people. It’s hard to do in the big centres sometimes when it’s hustle and bustle and go-go-go. Smaller communities get it. They get the community sense, the get that it’s really about each other... I do believe connection is where it’s at, connection is what we long for as humans, and I think when you’re in smaller towns, you understand that.” Want to win tickets to see Don Amero?

Provincial parks active in winter

Sask Parks is offering more winter activities this year than ever before. With ten special events taking place throughout February and March, there is still plenty of opportunity to get out to a park for some winter fun the whole family will enjoy. “So far this winter, we’ve had hundreds of Saskatchewan residents take part in our winter activities,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Gene Makowsky said. “With a variety of events planned around skating, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and more, there is still plenty of opportunity to get out and discover what winter in the parks is all about.”

Valentine’s Day in Sask Parks is sure to be a special one with two popular events taking place. Visitors are invited to Moose Mountain Provincial Park on February 14 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. to take part in a candle-lit cross-country ski through the park followed by a hotdog roast and hot cocoa around the campfire. Guests can bring their own skis or rent a pair at the Kenosee Inn on a first-come, first-serve basis. Also on February 14, a romantic “Skate the Park” evening will be held from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Echo Valley Provincial Park. Visitors can lace up their skates and enjoy an evening skate through

Aspen Campground with their loved ones. A bonfire and food truck vendor will also be available throughout the night. Other events to look forward to this winter include: •Snowshoe Through Time at Last Mountain House Provincial Historic Park, February 1 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Travel back in time to when this iconic trading post was in its prime.

Winter Escape at Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park, March 14 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Stick it to winter with an afternoon of snowshoeing, quinzee-building and survival skill sessions and warm up around the bonfire with hotdogs and hot cocoa. •Learn to Ice-Fish at Blackstrap Provincial Park, March 21 at 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Learn how to ice-fish on one of the most popular ice-fishing lakes in the province.

It is the second Essential Skills project of its kind, delivered in partnership by Parkland College, Yorkton Tribal Council, Ocean Man First Nation, and the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission. Over the next five months, several students will have the opportunity to learn construction skills as well as life and employability skills. By the end of June, the students will build an environmentally responsible tiny house from the ground up. Some of the building materials, tools, and appliances will be donated. The finished home will be awarded to a family within the community. “Parkland College is pleased to be working with such committed and generous partners in providing robust training and experiential learning opportunities for our Indigenous youth,” said Dr. Mark Hoddenbagh, Parkland College President & CEO. “That this project will provide a wonderful home for community members is an added bonus.” The Tiny House project is also supported by Indigenous Services Canada.

Bachelor's Degrees (Four Years) BACHELOR OF INDIGENOUS EDUCATION

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN NURSING

BACHELOR OF SOCIAL WORK

Providing a holistic First Nations teaching perspective, the Indigenous Education program from First Nations University of Canada provides tremendous opportunity whether you want to teach elementary or secondary education.

Parkland College partners with the U of S College of Nursing and Saskatchewan Health Authority to deliver a world class nursing education. Through the use of distributed learning technology, students in Yorkton are able to learn where they live.

The program is generalist in approach. It emphasizes language and arts and requires a concentration in Indigenous education. Speciﬁc Indigenous education courses have been designed to introduce teachers to the unique needs of First Nations students.

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is a non-direct entry four-year degree program, which includes a pre-professional year of university level courses, followed by three years of nursing education and clinical practice opportunities.

The BSW program from the University of Regina emphasizes preparing students to gain the skills necessary to counsel individuals and groups, develop and administer programs, empower community groups, conduct social research, analyze programs, policies and issues, and develop and implement problem solving strategies. The program is generalist in approach and will prepare you to work with disadvantaged and minority groups in urban, rural, and remote areas. Classes are available as a mixture of face-toface, blended, and online delivery.

University Classes FIRST YEAR & DISTANCE DELIVERY Thanks to partnerships with the University of Saskatchewan and University of Regina, students are able to take the ﬁrst year of almost any undergraduate degree from the two institutions at Parkland College. We offer more than 60 course offerings to choose from. First-year students take classes in a wide range of subject areas to get a broader understanding of learning at the university level. The College’s smaller class sizes and access to instructors often help students get better grades. At the end of your ﬁrst year, you can apply for professional programs such as Pharmacy & Nutrition, Nursing, etc. Make an appointment with our academic advisors to go over your program plan and ensure you have all of the prerequisites lined up.

Diplomas (Two Years) AGRIBUSINESS One of every eight jobs in Canada is related to agriculture – a rate that's even higher in Saskatchewan. Agribusiness comes into play at every stage of the food chain, from primary production to the packaging of your favorite snack. This diploma will provide you with the skills to start up your own business, to join the family business, or to be part of an industry team.

BUSINESS MANAGEMENT If you like being part of decision-making processes, and are interested in organizational culture and interpersonal dynamics, the Business Management specialty will appeal to you. You could work in an administrative role in a wide range of public and privately owned enterprises, crown corporations and government organizations, or start your own business.

PRACTICAL NURSING Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) are in demand across Canada. There are more job opportunities now than ever before, and more chances to create a career that suits your interests. LPNs typically work in an area of interest such as gerontology, maternal-child, medical, mental health, palliative, pediatric, rehabilitation, or surgical nursing.

The same. But different. Choosing Parkland College for your education gives you the best of both worlds. We keep class sizes small and offer a learner-centered community feel. And because our postsecondary programs meet the same standards as those at Saskatchewan Polytechnic and the province's universities, you will graduate with the same credentials as students on those campuses. Come to Parkland College and see the difference we can make for you. parklandcollege.sk.ca

Torrie Schaffer named 2020 Champion Child By Devin Wilger Staff Writer What makes a champion? The Champion Child program sees kids becomes champions overcoming medical problems while advocating for improving healthcare for kids across the country. The 2020 Champion Child, 13-year old Torrie Schaffer from Balcarres, is using her time as a champion to help people learn a bit more about her rare blood disease. She was at the Yorkton Wal Mart location to talk about what being a Champion means to her. The program will see her become an ambassador for the Children’s Miracle Network and the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation. When she was nine, Schaffer noticed some strange things happening. She had small dots on her body that they thought was a rash. She was bruising easily, and they didn’t know why, even the most gentle touch would cause a bruise. She was admitted to the hospital in Regina with a low platelet count, and soon had no platelet count at all. She was diagnosed with Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) Autoimmune Blood Disease. Without treatment, that disease could have been fatal. There is a treatment which could save her life, but it requires special equipment. The Jim Pattison’s Children’s Hospital Foundation had just purchased that equipment - a Pheresis machine - six months earlier, and Schaffer was the first kid in Saskatchewan to be treated with it. Schaffer’s treatment is ongoing, and she visits a pediatric hematologist every two to three months at the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital. Schaffer wants people to know more about the disease, and more about what it means to people like her. “It is rare, and it’s not out there like cancer and stuff is. You don’t find my disease in a lot of people, especially kids. It’s very

rare in kids, so I feel it’s important to get it out there. I want more people to know about it. They can donate more, and know that there are kids that need stuff in hospital.” One of the benefits of the Champion program will see Schaffer and the other kids selected travel to Orlando, Fl to meet and talk about their experiences and challenges. Sash Broda, manager, development and engagement for Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital, said that they select the ambassador as someone who has

had a great deal of experience with the hospital making a difference for them, as well as the ability to advocate for their own diseases. “There are so many different cases of different conditions and different diseases that so many people have, that kids have, that a lot of people don’t know about. To be able to shed some light on those, raise awareness in all those different aspects and to show that we can take care of those kids in Saskatchewan as well is really huge.”

Torrie Schaffer, the Champion Child for 2020, cuts the cake at Wal Mart in Yorkton. She will advocate for children’s hospital and her own disease, TTP.

Agriculture: My journey today By Brenna Mahoney, Director of Communications and Stakeholder Relations Cereals Canada I became part of the agriculture industry four years ago. Shortly after, I wrote, “Agriculture: My Journey so far”. It was a reflection on my first six months working in this amazing sector. Despite being new to agriculture I knew I had found where I belonged! Sometimes I think that we forget that agriculture really is amazing. One of my most memorable experiences was being able to stand in front of a few hundred high school students as a volunteer for Agriculture in the Classroom and tell them how this industry has changed my life and the way I view my own educational path. It was through this opportunity that I recognized how diverse agriculture is, even the team

within Cereals Canada. The diversity that agriculture attracts is one of its main strengths. Almost on a daily basis I meet people from all over the world that have been attracted to Canadian agriculture. The value chain brings together people of almost every educational and cultural background. Agriculture’s people are its biggest asset. Diversity goes beyond people. Students contemplating their career pathway should come to agriculture. One in eight people work in agriculture and no matter your passion there will be a connection back to the industry. Every day there is something new to learn, talk about, or problem to solve. Navigating diversity of issues is not always easy but is extremely rewarding. It should always be seen as an opportunity, never a challenge that cannot be overcome. The issue of public trust is one example where

agriculture’s diversity can be used as a strength. We are privileged to have a window into every part of this industry, from farm gate to plate. But consumers do not have this window. Consumers should be viewed as a part of our industry; they participate in it by buying our commodities and making them into meals to which for their families. Canadian agriculture has the diversity to speak to consumers no matter their background and help them answer the question “where does my food come from”. But to do that we need to work together and collaborate. Collaboration means that we recognize how each person, organization, or segment of the value chain may experience things differently. If we are going to be able to respond to changing consumer needs around the world, we must use these different experiences and work together instead of the nat-

Under the provisions of The Alcohol and Gaming Regulations Act. 1997, Notice is hereby given that 102094016 Saskatchewan Ltd has applied to the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) for a Tavern permit to sell alcohol in the premises known as Hotel California at 307 Railway Avenue, Springside SK.

Petitions must name a contact person, state grounds and be legible. Each signatory to the petition and the contact person must provide an address and telephone number.

ural silos that emerge from our province, background or the part of the industry in which we operate. I am likely a bit biased about the benefits of collaboration as my job is completely dependent on successfully building partnerships. This includes working directly with the Cereals Canada membership, but also outside organizations. Collaboration has shown me how much each one of us has in common. Organizations and people who think they are different usually find that goals are usually similar. Collaboration is must more effective than individual efforts. Once we get down to specific projects it is always better if the message comes from not just one but many voices. Farmers contribute to national organizations through their checkoffs. They are seeing the benefits of collaborative efforts among commodity groups to in joint projects like the

of wheat are asking for the science-based messages around wheat’s nutritional value that we have developed and information on how to celebrate and promote wheat. Agriculture is now a big part of who I am. I often get told I must have drunk the Kool-Aid, to which I proudly reply, it was actually some delicious beer made with Canadian barley. We should be proud of our industry not just because we are feeding people, but also because we are attracting a level of diversity which I feel stands out amongst other industries. We are also fostering collaboration and most importantly we continue to engage individuals to whom are already working in it. Each day I get to come to work and face the day, a day with endless possibilities, filled with new opportunities and challenges to which I know I will overcome. I am indeed grateful to be doing it and looking forward to what comes next.

Coldest Night aims to tackle homelessness

It's time to visit your Heart Specialists.

Roses starting at $30/dozen

Keep it Clean! campaign or the annual new crop missions. Both of these collaborative efforts have continued to become bigger and better each year in part to the cooperation between the national and provincial commodity organizations. Another example of effective collaboration is the creation of a national wheat campaign designed to emphasize the nutritional benefits of products made from Canadian wheat and to counter some of the “wheat myths” growing on the internet. As a wheat value chain, we are seeing a positive impact of working together to develop messaging as well as fund research projects regarding wheat and its health benefits. Even though this project is still in its early stages, we are already seeing the advantages of working together. An immediate benefit has been the interest we have been getting from international customers. Some of Canada’s top importers

Youth, aims to shine a light on the homelessness problem and raise money to help. The plans for this year’s event are the same as they were in 2019, explained Glenda Gascho, one of the event organizers. People will meet at St. Paul’s Church on Smith Street on Feb. 22. Three routes will be available, depending on how far people want to walk, whether they want to go 2 km, 5 km or 10 km. Registration begins at 4:00 p.m., and the walk will begin at 5:00 p.m. Food will be served after the walk, and walkers will receive a Coldest Night of the Year toque. This year, the funds will be going to support the YTHY’s outreach program, which operates out of their rooming house in he city. “What we’re finding is that demand is higher than what we can provide. So, this year we’re looking to enhance that portion of the program to ensure that we have more to give away.” One of the things on offer through the outreach program is transportation. She notes that there are many youth in the program who work in retail stores until late, for example, and there’s a gap in transportation as the bus service doesn’t run late at night. “The transportation piece is definitely a big one because they can’t afford vehicles.” Homelessness is a hidden problem in Yorkton, Gascho explained. Many homeless people in Yorkton are effectively couch surfing, going from the homes of friends and acquaintances. “It’s constantly moving around but not having a solid place to be.” There are also gaps in Yorkton, as there is not currently a place for men to go if they find them-

selves homeless. Gascho said that one of their goals is to focus on in the future, as it is a gap in the city, and raise awareness of what the problem actually looks like in Yorkton. “Because it’s not as visible as it is in a big city people don’t think it’s actually a problem here but the reality is when you look at the statistics that we keep as part of our funding there’s a lot of individuals who are definitely in that category of jumping from one place to another, can’t seem to find that one location that they can afford and make some progress.” One of the new things this year is the Coldest Day of the Year event that schools can take a part in. In previous years, the event took place after February break, so it was difficult for schools to take part. The Coldest Day event gives schools the flexibility to pick the day they can hold an event. Schools can sign up at www.cdoy.org, and at press time Parkland College is a school listed in Yorkton. “It really gets the youth involved so they can understand what it’s all about,” said Gascho. Right now, they’re looking for teams and walkers. Everyone who wants to sign up is invited to go to www.cnoy.org to register, whether as a walker, part of a team, or start their own team. Registration is $25, but the fee is waived if they raise enough money – $75 for youth or and $150 for adults. They are also looking for sponsors. Businesses can put their names on signs through the route for $250. They are also looking for volunteers, including a volunteer photographer to take photos along the route. Anyone with questions can call 306-783-2340.

Local contractor makes generous donations to local groups and others Courtesy of The Kamsack Times A local contractor has managed to find a “generous solution” to a problem, which has resulted in putting a smile on the faces of local youngsters and others who have benefitted from his gesture. Philip Gemme, of Gem Electrical Solutions of Kamsack, had come into possession of a large number of unpainted ceramic pieces several years ago, and decided now was the time to part with the entire collection. “A few years ago, my son, his new wife, I and a friend took a trip back to my home town of Timmins Ontario, to introduce to my parents their new granddaughter-in-law,” he said. “While we were there, my father showed us all the ceramics that he had purchased at a garage sale. When asked if he would spare a few pieces for us to take back home to Saskatchewan, he readily agreed, on the condition that we take it all.” Gemme was hauling a trailer to pick up a motorbike,

and the boxes of ceramics fit in as well, so the group brought all of it to Kamsack. Once here, the ceramic pieces were unpacked, photographed, catalogued and repacked, for use and possible resale of extra pieces in a yard/garage sale. “Last spring Allen Bennett graciously allowed us to use the basement of the old Elk’s Lodge, what is now the Sugar Shack (home to Allen’s maple syrup venture), to display all of the ceramics,” Gemme said. “There did not seem to be much interest from people in purchasing unfinished ceramics, but the children that came in with their parents really wanted some and since I had quite a bit I just gave pieces to the children. “Allen now has plans for the building and needed the space which the ceramics occupied, so I had to find a solution,” he continued. “After hauling these items 2,000 miles, and after all the work to catalogue and set up for the sale, I did not relish the thought of handling them again. This is where the idea to just

Philip Gemme of Kamsack has donated a large number of unpainted ceramic figures to groups in Kamsack and the surrounding area. donate all of them came about. I decided that after seeing the smiles on the children’s faces that they should be the recipients.” Gemme posted an ad on Kijiji, and contacted numerous schools in the surrounding areas to let them know about his desire to

donate the ceramics for use by local children. “I did receive some responses but not nearly enough so I posted an ad on Facebook and it just exploded,” he said. “There were suggestions made that maybe others could benefit as well, such as seniors and other

organisations. They became included in the groups, but also parents could bring their children by to pick out what they would like. It did not take long before most of the items made their way out the door to new homes. “I received a lot of compliments for doing this but the heroes here are all of the teachers and group volunteers who gave of their time to come out and pick through the numerous items to get what they would like, and that was fun. Then the work began, with packing up, hauling, unpacking and distributing amongst their respective groups. “To all of you who came out, I extend a big thank you for turning what would have been an arduous task into a most pleasant experience,” he mused. “It would be really nice to see some of the artists with their completed pieces. If people would like, they can post these photos to my business page, Gem Electrical Solutions, on Facebook,” he concluded.

Vape Act took effect February 1 In order to better protect Saskatchewan youth from risks associated with vaping, The Tobacco and Vapour Products Control Act took effect February 1, 2020. “I’m excited to have this legislation in place,” Minister of Health Jim Reiter said. “This legislation will protect Saskatchewan youth from the harmful effects of vapour products. If you never smoked, then don’t vape.” “Vapour products are highly addictive, trendy and extremely popular among teens and young adults,” Vice President of Community Engagement

at the Lung Association of Saskatchewan Jennifer May said. “The Lung Association and its Youth4Change groups congratulate the government on the implementation of The Tobacco and Vapour Products Control Act. This is a great day for lung health as there has been a dramatic rise in youth vaping over the past few years and this will help protect the health of Saskatchewan kids.” The new legislation is similar to measures found in other provinces and territories in Canada with vaping legislation in place. To address vapour products, The Tobacco and

Vapour Products Control Act contains provisions that: *restrict the sale of vapour/e-cigarette devices and products to individuals 18 years of age and older; *prohibit the display of vapour/e-cigarette products in a retail business where young persons have access; *restrict the use of vapour/e-cigarette products in and around public buildings, including schools and school grounds, in the same manner as our provincial tobacco legislation; *prohibit the sale of vapour/e-cigarette prod-

Big crime comes to small town By Christopher Swanson mr.chrisswanson@outlook.com

A local family is in the news recently. Normally, such a thing is an exciting matter, instilling a sense of civic pride. But the reason for their new found celebrity has left this local family, and all of us, feeling vulnerable. Local livestock farmers, Andrew and Laurie Johnson, of Johnson Livestock in Peebles, have recently become the victims of identity fraud. The Johnsons first realized something was amis when a cell phone associated with their business stopped working. They were then informed that their SaskTel number in question, had been transferred to another carrier, Telus. A request they never made. That issue was eventually cleared up, and the curious problem seemed to be resolved. Days later, large sums of money began disappearing from their farm’s operating account and even, their line of credit. Now, it is unclear whether they are financially protected against the losses, if the banks can track the money, or even, how this all occurred in the first place. The matter has been reported to both the RCMP and The Canadian

Anti-Fraud Centre, and is under active investigation. It is suspected that their ﬁnancial information was accessed when their phone number was ported to another carrier. Porting is the term used to describe the act of moving a telephone number from one carrier to another. Land lines, cell phones, and even fax numbers can all be ported. It is currently up to consumers to protect their number, a process most are unaware of. Anyone wishing to protect their number is encouraged to set up the port validation feature by dialing 611 on your mobile phone, or by calling your service provider. Once this feature is activated, you may choose a code, up to 15 digits long, which will be required before the number can be ported. To further reduce the risk of falling victim to identity fraud, it is suggested that people regularly check credit card statements, check credit reports at least annually, create and use complicated passwords, and do not click on unfamiliar links. Citizens are encouraged to report suspected fraud to the Canadian AntiFraud Centre, you can call, toll free: 1-888-495-8501 or go to their website www. antifraudcentre.ca However, quoting from

that same website, they are “currently experiencing intermittent disruptions with the toll-free telephone line that may cause your call to be disconnected”. And in a bizarrely ironic twist, illustrating the severity of the problem, their website also states that their own toll free number is being used by scammers to mask their own number. Yes, you read that correctly, the government agency speciﬁcally in place to combat fraud is themselves, the victim of an on-going fraud. As for the Johnsons, they are just eager to get this whole thing cleared up, so they can put it behind them, and to get back to their normal lives.
