The Canadian Diabetes Association wants people to help support their programs this fall, and volunteers will be going around Yorkton to seek donations for their programs. Ellen Williams, Community Engagement Coordinator for the Canadian Diabetes Association, says that all of Yorkton can expect volunteers to knock on their door, identified by a Canadian Diabetes Association volunteer pin and a red canvassing kit.

“This is our biggest fundraiser that we do.” The goal is to bring in $150,000 for the southern part of the province. “The money that is raised in Saskatchewan stays in Saskatchewan, so that’s really great for us to say we can put this money back into programs and services.” Some of the programs that the CDA does involve advocacy and education, such as the CanRisk Program, which puts on information programs so people can understand their risk of diabetes. The CDA also produces a

Williams says that the goal of the education is to make it possible for people to know how to live healthy, whether they are at risk or already diagnosed. “We can direct people where to go, and find the resources within the community. We can pair people up with the health care professionals they need to see. Anything from a dietician, to where they can go to have their feet taken care of, to

Williams says that the people who want to volunteer can start with an email to rescampsouth@ diabetes.ca. Once they connect with the CDA, they will find a route for them to take. Each route is about 20-25 houses and Williams says would take an estimated 90 minutes. The volunteers can do it any time during the campaign period, from October 1 to 15. Zone captains

Diabetes volunteers to seek donations within the area will distribute the kits and pick them up. “They don’t need to worry about getting the canvassing kit, it will be delivered to them.” Williams says that they hope volunteers will find a community willing to donate to the cause. “We really hope that they will be willing to do so, it’s nice that we can put our money back in our community.”

The annual Terry Fox Run was held in Yorkton Sunday, starting at the Gloria Hayden Centre. Here Candice Jesmer and Cameo Britton of team Re/MAX sign in prior to the event. The run, which has been held in communities across Canada for 35 years, drew a good number of participants who walked to raise awareness about, and funds for cancer research. In 1980, Terry Fox started his Marathon of Hope run across Canada in support of Cancer research. Fox ran some 26 miles per day gaining support and media attention along the way. The cancer amputee was forced to stop his run in northern Ontario when his cancer returned. Fox ran 3,339 miles in 143 days. Staff photo by Calvin Daniels

Jess Moskaluke wins Female Artist of the Year By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer In 2014, Langenberg’s own Jess Moskaluke became the first Saskatchewan woman to win the CCMA Female Artist of the Year Award. In 2015, she became the first Saskatchewan woman to win it twice, taking home the award for the second year in a row. Proud of her achievement, Moskaluke says that it’s rewarding just to know that people are listening and like what they hear. “It’s just a big pat on the back from your music industry peers, it’s pretty nice, it feels like someone telling you you’re on the right track.” While a prominent woman in Saskatchewan country music, Moskaluke says that her goal was merely to make music, and make it the best she could. “I never set out to be the best, I never set out to be a prominent woman in Saskatchewan or Canada. I’m just doing something that I love.” Moskaluke says that the Canadian country music scene is a close knit one, and that has been an honour to be nominated beside people whose music she grew up listening to. She says that as a relatively young artist, it’s valuable to have people help her
grow as an artist. “I think one of the better things for my career has been working alongside Paul Brandt for the past couple of months. It really made it seem real. I grew up listening to him probably more than anybody else, and it made me realize he is a person and he’s a professional and he’s very well spoken... I just learned a lot for them.” Winning an award doesn’t mean resting, and Moskaluke says that she was inspired by her fellow CCMA nominees to keep pushing to be the best artist she can. “To be up against some of those other names also makes me realize I have to step up my game because I am up against some massive names who have been doing this for a long time and are skilled in their craft. It’s a healthy challenge.” Rising to the challenge, Moskaluke has been working on the launch of her next project, the new EP Kiss Me Quiet, out September 25. She says that she wanted to learn from the last album and keep pushing to make the best music she can. “It’s different from album to album... Basically the second the last record was done you start writing for the next one, looking for songs and finding out what
style you want to show.” The goal with the new release was to have a natural growth from the last album, Light Up the Night. She says she knows who she is as an artist, and how she wants to leave her mark, but she also doesn’t want to make the same album twice. Moskaluke’s songwriting can get intensely personal, something she admits can be quite difficult, especially when releasing the songs to the public. But, she also believes it’s something that people appreciate when they listen to the albums. “I think it’s important to have a personal aspect to your songwriting, but sometimes it’s just fun to make up a story and exercise your creativity that way, singing about something like that. But, I think it’s easier to relate to a story you have personally experienced and audiences appreciate that amount of realism.” The EP is being accompanied by the video for the title track, Kiss Me Quiet. While the video looks expensive, with many expansive helicopter shots of Moskaluke on top of mountains, she says it’s a video that makes smart use of its budget. “Our budget for that video was cut in half pretty much. Helicopters aren’t as expensive as
JESS MOSKALUKE has made her made her mark on Canada’s country music scene, winning two CCMA awards for Female Artist of the Year in as many years. you think, and mountains are free.” It’s a long way from her beginnings in the area, on the GX94 Star Search stage. She says it was more a hobby then, and now she describes it as her “overtime” job, as she puts in long hours. “GX was one of the best things I could have ever done. It got me a lot of gigs, I was able to really enjoy that process, learn what it’s like and learn the costs of going somewhere. You don’t just show up and sing, unfortunately... I learned a lot, I learned that I very passionate about
music, and along with other competitions that was a very crucial part of my career.” While the stages have changed and she has a bigger spot on the marquee, Moskaluke says that she still gets nervous like she did when she began singing a decade ago. “I don’t think I’ll ever be 100 per cent comfortable in front of an audience. I have always said that if the nerves go away completely your heart isn’t in it anymore. I still get nervous before every show, I still get slightly uncomfortable in
front of crowds, but I think the trick is to make it look like you’re not.” For the many young artists who are on the same stage where she began, Moskaluke says that it’s not about winning, or about being better than anyone else, but about improving yourself. “There’s always going to be a better singer, a better performer or a better writer. But nobody can do what you do, whatever that is. Figure out what you have to offer the world, and be the best version of that you can be.”
Workshop aims to inspire aboriginal youth By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
Young aboriginal writers have the opportunity to hone their craft and work with authors to better be able to tell their stories. Words Our Way was a workshop hosted by the Saskwatchewan Writers’ Guild for Indigenous
youth aged 15-21. Carol Daniels, facilitator of the workshop and author, says that their goal is to make youth realize the moments in their lives are “magical,” and something which are valuable and should be shared. One of the goals of the workshop is to find different ways to get the
students to express themselves, whether it’s connecting to memories through things like food or doing dramatic writing to create characters, Daniels explains. “I think it’s way easier to be frank and open if you’re not talking about yourself.” Students will also learn how to be better at public speaking, as the workshop ends with them presenting their writing. Daniels says that getting comfortable with public speaking is something that will be helpful for students for the rest of their lives. “It’s also a good lesson in life, sometimes things are difficult but you have to just keep on going.” She says that over the course of a weekend, students become more comfortable with themselves, find ways to be comfortable speaking to others, and better able to be open and able to express themselves.
“These youth will come in during the beginning, they’re just shy and they don’t think what they have to say is important, and just with a little encouragement they’re like a prairie lily... they blossom, and these young writers are like that.” Those youth will also have the opportunity to have their work published as part of an anthology, which will compile their work and share it with others. But the real legacy is not the written words, Daniels says, but in the impact it has on the students overall. “What I’m hoping we’ll leave behind after these weekends is that some of these young people will go on to study literature, get a degree in English, maybe even in education... Sometimes you need permission to be told it’s okay to be you.” Hosting the workshop in Yorkton is something
that Daniels says is something she wants to see, as smaller centers also have budding young writers with stories to tell. “I think it’s important to get away from Regina and Saskatoon, and get into places like Yorkton and Weyburn and Estevan. It’s exciting for me.” The workshop will occur again this week-

New volunteers pose challenge for old clubs Last week, the Lions Club held its Wine Festival. It is a great event and it raises a lot of money for community projects such as the Yorkton Community Clubhouse to which the Lions committed $50,000. It is this great tradition of volunteerism that gets things done in towns and cities across the nation. While governments are generally responsible for our basic infrastructure such as roads and sometimes contribute to other amenities, it is the service clubs and individual volunteers that make our towns into communities. The feds and the provinces build the hospitals, but it is the local Health Foundation that raises the funds to put the new CT scanner in it. Events such as the Wine Festival contribute to the community in two ways. First, the event itself provides a fun, social opportunity for attendees. Second, the money raised goes back into building the community. The Lions and all the other groups and organizations in Yorkton really must be commended for their dedication and hard work. There is some concern, however, about the sustainability of these efforts. Ask any president of any service group and he will tell you it is getting harder and harder to find members for some time now and their ranks are dwindling and aging. This is actually incongruent with the statistics. A 2012 study showed that volunteerism is on the rise in Canada and Saskatchewan leads the way. About half of Canadians volunteer. It also showed that young people are more likely to volunteer than older ones. There are a number of factors that may explain the disconnect. While young people are more likely to volunteer, they don’t put in as many hours. They are also more likely to take on individual one-off opportunities rather than join service organizations. There is also a matter of competition. There are more organizations fundraising now for more projects and causes. The volunteer base is spread more thinly, which means more is being done by fewer people. This is also borne out in the statistics, which show more than half the work is being done by 10 per cent of the volunteers. Volunteerism is still how things get done in our towns and cities, but the traditional models of leadership and membership are being challenged by a different style of engagement. There are opportunities for overcoming those challenges. For example, during the Wine Festival, the beneficiary of the event, the Community Clubhouse, provided some of the labour. These old clubs must remain viable for the good of the community, providing leadership and vision, but they may have to find new ways of tapping into the available workforce.
Time to close the gap Assembly of First Nations (AFN) National Chief Perry Bellegarde today addressed a group gathered at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, challenging those in attendance to make a difference by committing to reconciliation and action to close the gap in quality of life between First Nations people and Canadians. “I know first-hand the challenge of making a difference, of making things right, in our path to achieving a better life for our peoples, and I know that this work cannot be done alone,” AFN National Chief Perry Bellegarde told the gathering of students, educators, university officials, First Nations youth and Elders. “This is why I challenge First Nations and all Canadians to get on board to make a difference - to commit to reconciliation and action, to commit to closing the gap.” AFN National Chief Bellegarde’s appearance at the University of Manitoba is part of a lecture series he is undertaking at post-secondary institutions to raise awareness of First Nations priorities and the role every Canadian can play in closing the gap. He will speak at the University of Regina tomorrow. “The action we’re focused on is simple - closing the gap,” said National Chief Bellegarde. “Closing the Gap means making a commitment to addressing long-standing inequities between First Nations people and Canadians and the human rights vio-
lations experienced by First Nations people. The inequities are staggering and they’re holding us all back. Closing the gap will ensure we all succeed because when First Nations win, Canada wins.” National Chief Bellegarde outlined First Nation priorities for the upcoming federal election and his plans to work with the government elected on October 19, and emphasized the importance of First Nations exercising the right to vote, a right only secured by First Nations in 1960. “We want every Canadian to tell their politicians that First Nations priorities are Canada’s priorities, and to ask why there is always a great deal of talk, but never much action,” said National Chief Bellegarde. “We need your help. I need your help. Together, we will build a better country for all of us. Together we will close the gap.” First Nations priorities for the federal election were announced by National Chief Bellegarde September 2 in Ottawa. The document “Closing the Gap: 2015 Federal Election Priorities for First Nations and Canada” sets out action items and a vision for change through themes of Strengthening First Nations, Families and Communities; Sharing and Equitable Funding; Upholding Rights; Respecting the Environment; Revitalizing Indigenous Languages; and Truth and Reconciliation.
Stephen Harper’s own signs a target of vandals Vandalism has long been a way that people expressed social frustration and protest. A sticker or spray paint is a cheap way to make a mark, and a wall, or even an election sign, is a canvas on which one can make a point, for free, until the property owner comes by and inevitably removes the message. A bunch of stickers announcing 24 hour surveillance on Conservative campaign posters is a simple way to protest anti-terrorism bills like Bill C-51 and make that an election issue in a campaign that has been largely focused on the economy so far. It’s inevitable that they would show up on Stephen Harper’s own signs, he’s the highest profile candidate and if anything happens to a Harper sign it’s going to get attention. A vandal hitting someone in the Yukon is only going to get very much attention if that candidate does something egregiously stupid – hiding in the bushes before leaping out to perform a citizens arrest, for example – but Harper is going to get national attention. Even if enterprising young vandals went ahead and affixed such stickers to every Conservative campaign sign in the country, it’s only the high profile candidates that are going to get national attention. If there’s one sign where the Conservative party wants absolutely nothing to go awry, it’s
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger Harper’s own. It’s not really a unique message, Banksy did the famous “One nation under CCTV” sign in London in 2008, and it’s effectively the same protest in a different context. With an election campaign, the sticker becomes a protest to specific policies. This vandal, whoever they might be, is clearly angry about a threat to privacy represented by Harper and his Conservative party. By putting the 24 Hour Surveillance stickers on the sign, they associate Harper with the idea of a police state and constant surveillance. It could only be a protest because it casts a negative light on the candidate himself, mocking his security policies and suggesting a level of paranoia that extends right down to his campaign materials. His campaign team defi-
nitely would not want the national attention that would come with associating the Prime Minister with Orwellian security measures. It’s clear that someone is going to be made to pay for these stickers. Whoever put these stickers on Harper’s campaign sign did ruin them, even after scraping them off you’re going to get some left over residue and it’s just going to look like a mess. Who is going to take a candidate seriously if their signs are covered with stickers or residue? Campaign signs are how parties spread the word, it’s a major campaign expense, so someone on Harper’s campaign team must be wringing their hands about the sheer amount of damage that has been done. If they catch the culprit behind this vandalism spree, they probably will be expected to pay the cash to repair all of the ruined signs. It might be difficult to find the vandal responsible, but they will have to make legal restitution if they’re ever caught. Hold on, they did this to themselves? The staff handling Harper’s campaign in his home riding actually affixed stickers with little CCTV cameras to his own campaign signs? Someone actually thought this was a good idea in the Harper campaign team? Well now doesn’t someone look like a massive idiot.

Still value in academic arts
Old parties have no ideas for a new generation
Who would have thought it would come to this. Academics around the world are having to explain why there is value in studying history, English, philosophy, psychology, creative arts and the other subjects that collectively make up what we loosely refer to as the liberal arts, or the humanities and social sciences. It is the equivalent of masons having to justify mortar and plumbers having to justify pipes. Yes, we all agree that the liberal arts are in the proverbial crosshairs. The exhilaration of the Age of Enlightenment of the 17th and 18th centuries has been replaced by the nervousness of what appears to be an Age of Justification in the 21st century. Modern society’s love of innovative gadgets and apps, pronouncements that youth can now be rigorously self-taught on the internet and possibly become high-profile entrepreneurs to boot, and social media outpourings that give falsehoods as much airplay as truths, have created a modern cocktail of rhetoric for critics who are convinced that a liberal arts degree is a worthless investment. The Age of Enlightenment, sometimes referred to as the Age of Reason, was about the growth of literacy, and the expanding awareness of diversity and knowledge in cultural, literary and scientific thought. The Age of Justification, on the other hand, appears to have as its worrisome centrepiece the belief that the value of something exists only when viewed through a prescribed lens at the current moment. We all agree that there should be good rationales for public expenditures. But there are problems if, in try-

ing to justify something, we fail to take into account all of the relevant information. First, while it is disappointing for the sceptics to hear, a liberal arts degree is a great economic investment. This year the Education Policy Research Initiative at the University of Ottawa published an analysis of the annual earnings over 13 years of students who graduated in 1998. The data showed that earnings of social sciences graduates doubled over 13 years to $80,000, which was the same average earning of math and science grads. The data showed that a far more worrisome difference was based on gender, with men out-earning women by 15-20% across all disciplines. In fact, over the 13 year period the average annual earnings of a man with a humanities degree reached just over $80K/yr, compared to only $75K/yr on average for a woman with an engineering or computer science degree. Such striking gender-based differences deserve much more research, the kind of important research that our country’s social scientists and humanists are increasingly engaged in. Provincial university systems also track graduate performance. Within Ontario today, two years after graduation employment rates for all university graduates average 94%, and average 92% for those specifically in the humanities. These employment numbers do not include the many graduates who choose to pursue further education. Ontario university graduates earn on average $1.1M more over their lifetimes than other postsecondary graduates, and $1.5M more than high school graduates. University does make financial sense.
Second, as a multicultural country of indigenous peoples and immigrants, playing in the global arena, Canada needs a citizenry that learns and studies human differences, social behaviours, and cultural traditions. It needs a citizenry that encourages respect for human rights. It needs a citizenry that encourages artistic creation and appreciation of the arts. The humanities and social sciences engage in these intersections, and contribute to what makes us human. At my own institution, the University of Windsor, our Cross-Border Institute is looking at the technological, legal, and public policy issues involved in moving people and goods from one country to another. Our research and education programs to prevent sexual violence against women are getting at one of the biggest realities any society must confront. Both of these undertakings address matters critical to the future of our country, and rely heavily upon insights from the social sciences and humanities. Third, the perceived crisis in the value of liberal arts must be viewed through the lens of globalization. It is a fact that enterprises ranging from manufacturing to service sector jobs continually migrate to lower cost countries. This reduces the prices of goods and services, and expands markets, but it also puts people out of work. The suggestion that the best anodyne for this reality is STEM programs (science, technology, engineering, math) and more graduates in the skilled trades misses the reality that liberal arts have as their foundation the encouragement of communication, writing, and out-ofthe-box thinking. When you now travel to universities across Asia what you find is
that liberal arts programs are taking off. For example, the National University of Singapore and Yale University have partnered to open a liberal arts campus in Singapore. Across China, Japan, South Korea and other countries, new partnerships that focus on liberal arts are emerging. Increasingly around the world, the liberal arts are not being looked to as passé, but rather as essential. There is no question that our world depends upon and needs STEM expertise, but what it really needs is STEAM, with the arts included. It is similar to our bodies needing not only arteries and veins, but in addition the capillary beds that nourish each and every cell. We undervalue the liberal arts at our peril. In his 1902 book Human Nature and the Social Order, the sociologist Charles Cooley proposed the concept of the looking glass self. This concept states that humans acquire their own sense of self through their social interactions and by what others think of them. Cooley would likely be intrigued, and feel that his concept has been resoundingly verified, by the addiction of peering into cell phone screens. Humans are indeed social creatures. A degree in the liberal arts, with its focus on the broad spectrum of human endeavour, has never been needed more. It is justified based upon data and fact. It is one of society’s best investments in helping to ensure that our self-reflections are broad, and that in this Age of Justification, we do not forget the importance of enlightenment and reason. Alan Wildeman, President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Windsor.
Canada ranks among top 10 jurisdictions worldwide for economic freedom To the Editor:
Once again, Canada ranks among the world’s most economically free countries, ranking ninth overall according to the Fraser Institute’s annual Economic Freedom of the World report. The report measures the economic freedom (levels of personal choice, ability to enter markets, security of privately owned property, rule of law, etc.) by analyzing the policies and institutions of 157 countries and territories. “Economic freedom breeds prosperity and economically free countries like Canada offer the highest quality of life while the lowest-ranked countries are usually burdened by oppressive regimes that limit the freedom and opportunity of their citizens,” said Fred McMahon, Dr. Michael A. Walker Research Chair in Economic Freedom with the Fraser Institute. Canada dropped two spots in this year’s rankings, to ninth from seventh. The United States, once considered a bastion of economic freedom, ranks 16th in the world. “A weakened rule of law, the socalled wars on terrorism and drugs, and a confused regulatory environment have helped erode economic freedom in the United States, which remains behind Canada and other more economically free countries such as Qatar, Jordan and the U.A.E.,” McMahon said According to the report, based on
2013 statistics (the most recent year of available data), the top 10 most economically free jurisdictions are Hong Kong (which continues its streak of number one rankings), Singapore, New Zealand, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, Mauritius, Jordan, Ireland and Canada, with the United Kingdom and Chile tied for 10th. “Hong Kong remains number one but because democracy is the best safeguard of freedom, if China, which ranks low in economic freedom, encroaches on Hong Kong, we can expect Hong Kong’s ranking to fall,” McMahon said. Other notable rankings include Japan (26), Germany (29), Russia (99), China (111) and India (114). The 10 lowest-ranked countries are Angola, Central African Republic, Zimbabwe, Algeria, Argentina, Syria, Chad, Libya, Republic of Congo, and Venezuela. Some despotic countries such as North Korea and Cuba can’t be ranked due to lack of data. Globally, the average economic freedom score rose slightly to 6.86 out of 10 from 6.84 last year. According to research in top peerreviewed journals, people living in countries with high levels of economic freedom enjoy greater prosperity, more political and civil liberties, and longer lives. For example, countries in the top quartile of economic freedom had an average per-capita GDP of US$38,601
in 2013, compared to US$6,986 for bottom quartile nations. Moreover, the average income in 2013 of the poorest 10 per cent in the most economically free countries (US$9,881) dwarfed the overall average income in the least free countries (US$1,629). And life expectancy is 80.1 years in the top quartile of countries compared to 63.1 years in the bottom quartile. The Fraser Institute produces the annual Economic Freedom of the World report in cooperation with the Economic Freedom Network, a group of independent research and educational institutes in 90 nations and territories. It’s the world’s premier measurement of economic freedom, ranking countries based on economic freedom, which is measured in five areas: size of government, legal structure and security of property rights, access to sound money, freedom to trade internationally, and regulation of credit, labour and business. The 2015 report was prepared by James Gwartney, Florida State University, Robert A. Lawson, Southern Methodist University and Joshua Hall, West Virginia University.

The trouble with really long election campaigns is that they run the danger of becoming extremely boring. We have only so much tolerance for the daily surfeit of repetitive hair, clothing combos and conscripted backgrounds of ‘typical Canadians’. It would help if all of the leaders would grapple with the really hard questions, and give straightforward answers that looked more like thoughtful leadership and less like scripted talking points. What might help is a Trump-like willingness to speak off the cuff, with passion. It would also help if it were allied with evidence that the hard questions had received some hard thought before the passion was deployed. For example, this summer Canadians faced the consequences of climate change: raging wildfires, record drought and salmon refusing to return to their natal rivers. So why are the three major parties still talking as if the sale of Canadian carbon will continue relentlessly in the marketplace? Why are the downstream, offshore impacts of Canadian coal, oil and natural gas combustion not addressed in National Energy Board project assessments? Who is talking about dramatic state investments in high technology and alternate energy infrastructure? Why are new pipelines still broadly endorsed? How about dealing squarely with job prospects for millennials in a country where 1.35 million people are unemployed in the workforce, and many are fearful of Monday morning layoffs? Too many recent college and university graduates are underemployed in the service sector. In cities like Vancouver and Toronto, they will never own a house. What incentive do they have to vote for old-line parties that offer targeted tax breaks, or public amenity infrastructure construction, or doctrinaire socialism as solutions to problems that have clearly defied old patterns of thought? Consider the patterned response of the three mainstream parties to the refugee crisis. The right’s calls for retrenchment, with more Syrian bombing added for good measure, is yet another case of looking backwards for solutions. The centre and left have focussed on reintroducing past responses to the Hungarian victims of communism, the Vietnamese boat people, and the victims of Idi Amin’s Ugandan reign of terror as plausible contemporary solutions. Social media have been full of stories, research and contextualizing on many new causes of refugee flight: a decade of atypical drought in the fertile crescent, driving hundreds of thousands of farmers and their families into cities incapable of producing alternate employment; sectarian warfare aided and abetted by global powers eager to suppress their minorities’ aspirations of autonomy; the wide-scale leasing of African continent arable lands for food security in Asia, and a pervasive lack of hope by the young that existing systems of governance and economic management will ever make anything better. If there is one certain predictor of impending societal stress and warfare, it is the large numbers of young men who see no economic future. They have in our global history often been subject to the power whims of clerics, tyrants and capitalists, each of whom have their own needs for exploiting young armies to private ends. God forbid this continues. So how about, in the four weeks remaining in the lengthy federal campaign of 2015, we ask our aspiring federal parties and their leaders to tell us just what the ‘next economy’ might look like? This will be the beginning of the post-carbon economy, which relies on technology start-ups to drive employment and human happiness. It will require a significant departure from what was and what is. Simply muddling through won’t cut it, either. So far in this campaign, the only party coming to grips with any of this is the Green Party. As early adopters, they are prodding us forward. The cruel reality is that the old parties are still playing the songs that the electorate likes to hear. The citizens deserve better, don’t we?

Children’s Wish Lottery grants kids a dream By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
The Children’s Wish Foundation has been granting wishes to children with serious medical problems for decades, providing a brief respite from hospital stays and illness. Gay Oldhaver, Provincial Director with the Children’s Wish Foundation wants to continue granting those wishes, and has been going around Saskatchewan talking about what the foundation does in the province and promoting the Children’s Wish Lottery with the Wishes and Dreams tour. Wishes are granted to children from three to seventeen who have been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, as determined by a medical advisory board. Once eligible, the Foundation has a conversation with the child about what they are dreaming about. “Sometimes it’s a really small dream that grows and grows and becomes really big. Sometimes it starts really big and we have to bring it back down to a realistic size. For example, one child wanted a monkey, and even though we don’t have a law against having a
monkey per se in Saskatchewan, getting my hands on a monkey would be rather difficult, so we had to bring that child around and we settled on an entertainment wish. Another wish, a little guy just wanted a little handheld gaming system, and that one we developed a little bit more around that wish.” Once the wish has been decided, the wheels start to turn to make it possible, to source what is required and handle the logistics to make it happen, Oldhaver explains. While it’s not always possible to deliver it in person, she says they do try to do that as much as possible. “That is the moment of truth when you see that smile on that face.” There have been over 1,000 wishes granted in the province since 1984, and Oldhaver says that wish kids have grown up to be active volunteers. The foundation grants between 60 to 70 wishes a year in the province, and the average cost of a wish is about $10,000. “It can provide them an opportunity to literally dream... We can’t fix diseases and we can’t solve health issues, but we can provide a moment of joy, a moment of happiness and a moment of
memories for those families. That’s what keeps us going from one wish to the next. There are days when it feels like you’re not doing very much, but if you keep in focus that one moment of memory and one moment of joy, it helps us to be able to keep smiling for those families and participate in those moments with them.” The primary fundraiser for the foundation is the Children’s Wish Lottery. The grand prize is one million dollars, and people who get in before the early bird deadline of October 1 can also win their choice of vehicles or $70,000. There are also tickets available for a vacation for life or a prize of $200 weekly for a year. The lottery used to give away a house, but moved to a cash grand prize. One, as they moved to make the lottery more relevant to the province as a whole, having a house located in Saskatoon made it less appealing. The other reason was that since they gave an option of either cash or the home, nobody ever actually took the home as a prize, instead taking the cash payout every time. Anyone interested in buying tickets can visit wishlottery.ca.
Photographers gather for Worldwide Photo Walk By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Whether experienced or new to the hobby, photographers will have a chance to meet, talk and enjoy the opportunities for photos in Yorkton. The Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk, the world’s largest photo walk, will be happening in the city for the first time on October 3. Chantelle Rivers, walk leader for the Yorkton event, says that she started a photo walk in the city in order to bring the city’s photographers together. “I want to get people out, taking pictures and having fun, and I want to be able to meet other people who enjoy doing this as a hobby or as work. It’s just lots of fun, and more fun to do as a group.” In Yorkton, the walk begins at Western Financial Group City Centre Park, and will go on a loop which goes past several city landmarks.
“We’ll walk past the old mill, we’ll walk past the Pepsi bottling facility, we’ll walk past the Cardinals field, water tower, skate park. Things that we can generally take neat pictures of and people can get creative.” After the walk is concluded, people from around the world are encouraged to upload their photos to share what they did with participants from around the world. “Worldwide happens only on October 3. There are contests, there are prizes, there are all kinds of things that go along with it,” Rivers says. There are prizes at both a local and international level, which can be entered by uploading the best photo from the day.
The grand prize, worldwide, is a prize package which includes a Canon EOS 5D Mark III DSLR and Canon PIXMA PRO1. The local winner will receive a digital copy of the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC book for Digital Photographers by Scott Kelby and a one year membership to KelbyOne. The walk itself is free, though participants are encouraged to donate to the Springs Hope Orphanage in Kenya. Registration is required at www.worldwidephotowalk.com, the walk itself is limited to 50 spaces. The walk itself will happen at 3:00, with a gathering at a local restaurant at the walk’s completion.
THE CHILDRENS WISH LOTTERY is running right now, giving the Children’s Wish Foundation of Saskatchewan the opportunity to help kids with life-threatening illnesses the chance to fulfill a dream. Gay Oldhaver has been touring the province talking about the difference a wish can make for a sick child.

Watch for total lunar eclipse PRE-OWNED
Did anyone stay up to watch the Autumnal (Fall) Equinox come in at 2am Wednesday morning? Me neither. Rumour has it nothing really happens: one moment it’s summer, the next, it’s fall. You’d think there’d be a few fireworks or at least a bell or something. But enough of that; we have an eclipse to watch. Well, some of us. I will officially NOT be watching to lessen the chance of cloud cover, nor do I know, at the time I’m writing this, where I WON’T be, so I guess we’re on our own. Luckily, lunar eclipses are pretty straight forward. This Sunday,
The Universe from your own back yard by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca.
September 27th, you’ll want to get your evening meal out of the way so you can be outdoors by 6:30ish to watch the beginning of the Total Lunar Eclipse. The only requirement is a good view to the east, preferably down to the horizon. Binoculars and something to sit on make things better, but all you really need is to remember it’s happen-
ing. First, a brief eclipse shadow primer: the Earth’s shadow is a big, dark circle (the umbra) surrounded by a lighter ring (the penumbra). Picture a donut with a dark centre. The eclipse begins at 6:11pm when the Moon first enters the penumbral portion of the shadow, but don’t rush outside in a panic yet; the
Moon doesn’t rise until 6:32pm. The Moon will already be partially eclipsed as it rises, but you won’t notice anything unusual as the surface is only slightly dimmed by the penumbral shadow. It isn’t until 7:07pm when the dark umbra begins to take a bite out of the Moon’s side. This is when you ‘should’ panic and rush outside. The darkness will creep across the surface until 8:11, when totality occurs. The lit portion of the Moon winks out, and you’re left with a dark sphere coloured ‘muddy brown’ through dark red (known as the Blood Moon). How red
depends on the amount of dust and cloud in our atmosphere at the time. Nothing appears to change until 9:23pm when a sliver of light returns to the opposite limb of the Moon, an ever increasing crescent that will grow until the shadow disappears at 10:27. At this point, the show is essentially over although the penumbra won’t leave the Moon until 11:22. The next Total Lunar Eclipse visible here will be in January of 2019, so take advantage of September evening temperatures to get the family out to enjoy what the universe has to offer from your own back yard.
World Breastfeeding Week is October 1-7, 2015 World Breastfeeding Week (WBW) in Canada is October 1-7, 2015, with this year’s theme being “Breastfeeding and Work - Let’s Make it Work”. Balancing work and family life, including breastfeeding, is becoming increasingly important for working mothers as economic and labour conditions continue to change. There are still countries in this world that do not provide paid maternity leave. Research continues to show that there are long and short term health benefits with paid maternity leave including healthier and happier mothers and babies. Happier and healthi-
er mothers and babies lead to lower national healthcare costs and lower absenteeism costs for the employer. Once mothers return back to work, it is important for employers to support their wish to continue a breastfeeding relationship with their child. A way in which employers can support new moms is by providing them with a space and time to pump while they are at work. In celebration of WBW and its theme to support balancing work and breastfeeding, The Baby Friendly Initiative Working Group will be unveiling a breastfeeding space at The Gallagher Center on
October 3, 2015 at 10:30 am. To celebrate this and WBW further, The BFI Working Group will also be host-
ing the Quintessence Breastfeeding Challenge at 11am at the Gallagher Center, where across the globe
women breastfeed their babies simultaneously to raise awareness for and support breastfeeding.

The Two Trees hits chart with young readers Review by Shelley A. Leedahl I love receiving new books to review, but sometimes I can’t get to them immediately. Before I had a chance to dive into The Two Trees, a children’s book by Saskatoon writer\ illustrator team Sally Meadows and Trudi Olfert, my visiting friend, Flo, picked the book off my kitchen counter and read it. “What did you think?” I asked. “Loved it,” Flo said. “It brought tears to my eyes.” Any children’s story that can move an adult to tears is one I don’t want to wait another moment to read. I took the softcover book to my deck and in the few minutes it took to
engage with the sensitively-written and pastel-illustrated story – about the relationship between two brothers, and the younger’s difficulty with the elder’s inability to socially interact “normally” both at home and school – I too, experienced the proverbial lump-inthroat that signifies an emotional connection’s been made. “Wow,” I said, “what a strong metaphor for ‘otherness’”. “I know,” Flo said. “And that word at the end, ‘almost’ … that’s what got me.” This easy-to-read story begins with the side-by-side planting of two small evergreens by the young narrator, Jaxon. “One was for me. One was for my
A Classic Soup Chef Dez Style Chef Dez on Cooking by Gordon Desormeaux www.chefdez.com Recently I featured a recipe on Global TV and then in my column for Italian Sausage & Gnocchi Soup. The amount of positive feedback I received from this recipe was overwhelming to say the least. One of the requests I received within this feedback was for a vegetarian version of this soup, and it is with this column I am happy to oblige. Now let’s be honest: I can’t think of anything vegetarian that would replicate the flavour of sausage, but I guess if you are vegetarian you more than likely don’t want that flavour anyway. This recipe otherwise is very reminiscent to the original one. This recipe is extremely easy and screams “classic Italian”. Vegetarian or not, I think this finished dish at your next dinner party will be a splash (figuratively, hopefully not literally). Rustic Italian Bread Soup “My version of a classic bread soup. Very simple, but very delicious!” 500g loaf of bread (Crusty Italian or Sour Dough), cut in large cubes 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 1 tsp dried basil 1 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp salt A few grinds of black pepper 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 small/medium onion, diced small 4 garlic cloves, minced Salt & pepper 1 - 796ml can of diced tomatoes 1 - 900ml tetra pack of vegetable broth
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves 1 tsp white sugar 1/2 to 1 tsp salt Parmiggiano Regianno cheese, grated or shaved, for garnish 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the bread cubes with the 1/4 cup olive oil, dried basil, dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and bake 10 to 15 minutes until golden (like large croutons). Set aside. 2. Heat a pot over medium heat. Add the 2 tbsp olive oil, onion, garlic, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook, while stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes until the onion & garlic are soft. 3. Add the can of diced tomatoes and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat. 4. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. 5. Remove from the heat and stir in the fresh basil, sugar, and salt. 6. Divide the baked bread cubes into 8 soup bowls. Ladle an equal amount of soup into each bowl over the bread cubes. Garnish with the Parmiggiano and serve immediately. Makes 8 portions Chef Dez is a Food Columnist, Culinary Instructor & Cookbook Author.

older brother,” Jaxon says. But brother Syd is nonplussed when asked about the tree, or most anything else. He is much more interested in sharing his gemstones, for example, and he can name them all. Time and again, Syd fails to interact with his family, neighbours and classmates. He is completely
absorbed in his own world – a world which includes talking to himself, tearing paper “into tiny bits,” and having temper tantrums - and thus is ostracized by other children. Eventually even Jaxon stops trying to connect, opting instead to play with those who “played back”. Syd lives with high-
functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder, and kudos to Meadows for bringing this issue to light in a non-syrupy, full-circle story that will appeal to all ages. In her Author’s Note, Meadows - a singer\ songwriter, educator and speaker, as well as a writer - explains that her book is “intended to raise awareness about the challenges of having an ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) child … and to be a springboard for important discussions with ASD families, educators, students, and the general public.” The book’s an excellent springboard
indeed, complete with “Questions for Readers” and a “Recommended Reading List,” and I hope it reaches a broad audience, as it concerns one quality that can actually change societies. I’m talking about compassion, folks. This is a story to spread and discuss. And Flo was right about that word, ‘almost’. I encourage you to buy the book, and find out why. This book is available at your local bookstore or from the S a s k a t c h e w a n Publishers Group www. skbooks.com. Illustrated by Trudi Olfert

BIRTHS
The family of the late Sandra Jean MacColl of Yorkton, SK, wish to express their heartfelt appreciation to all who came to pay their respects to Sandra, sister to Joan, Sharon and Robin, and aunt and great-aunt to many. There are also so many people who were by her side, supporting her before and after her death - friends to the end and beyond. We’d like to say thank you to the following people and so many more that we’re unable to list. Thank you: -Those that sent flowers or donations to cancer research or her favourite charity, the Guardian Angel animal shelter. -Shani Apland and the choir for lending their voices to come of Sandra’s favourite hymns. -Reverend Jenn Dresser for her message of faith - the church was very important to Sandra. -Ferne Katzberg for bringing the lilting sounds of the Scottish bagpipes to Sandra one last time. -The ladies of the church for their excellent lunch. -Nieces Debbie Maskus and Susan Flett, friends Vivian Mason, Shirley Huziak and Merle Sherwin for their moving words and memories. -Lori Glauser, Vicki Winnitowy, Loryl Wonsiak, Jim & Shirley Huziak and Bob & Susan Flett for cleaning house, offering comfort, making sure she was at appointments, looking after her beloved cats and giving love and support in her battle against cancer that eventually took her, too soon, from us.
