Education robot helps students see more

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Yorkton Health and Education Robot officially received a new name. Of the 66 entries received to name the robot, the winning entry was Seymour.

Dr. Karen Semchuk, Professor of Nursing for the University of Saskatchewan and Director of Professional Practice for Sunrise Health Region, says that Seymour is an example of how a rural area like Yorkton can use Remote Presence technology to better deliver programming in rural areas. The nursing program, a partnership between the University of Saskatchewan, Sunrise Health Region and Parkland College, uses the robot to bring professors from around the province into the region.

The more mobile nature of the machine means it can get right into hospital rooms for practical applications and education.

Seymour works using the hospital’s internal wifi network to connect, and is operated via a laptop and joystick. A monitor on the top of the robot

allows students to see the professor, while cameras submit images back to their laptop, wherever they are.

The name, submitted

by Carol Stringfellow, plays off of the technology that the robot represents, as it can help students “see more” than they would be able to without the technology.

“To me, the vision of seeing more into the future and more into the possibilities of how we can use remote presence technology to increase and enhance our education and access clinical expertise,” Semchuk says.

Much like the nurses it is helping to educate, it’s what the robot can do outside of the classroom which is most exciting for the health region.

Specialists from outside the region can connect through the robot in the same way as the professors at the University, and diagnostic equipment such as stethoscopes can be connected to the robot itself.

Because it’s more mobile than the TeleHealth equipment, it is more accessible for patients.

“This robot can wheel down the hallway in a

hospital and go right up to a patient’s bed. It has very high resolution technology where it can zoom right in, the clinician who could be in Germany or Regina or the other side of the world can have a close examination of the patient... That’s our plan, to use it in Sunrise.”

Semchuk says that Seymour represents the “Cadillac” of remote presence technology, but she sees it as the start of a much larger trend towards making remote presence the standard for care in the area. She uses the example of a neurosurgeon in Saskatoon, who has given a laptop-based version of the tech to homecare nurses, so he can discharge his patients sooner and consult with them at home.

THE NEW NAME for the Sunrise Health and Education Robot, Seymour, is officially unveiled by Suann Laurent, CEO of the Sunrise Health Region, and Greg Ottenbreit, Minister for Rural and Remote Health.

HEALTH FOUNDATION – The Knights of Columbus #2031 presented a cheque for $1,000 to the Health Foundation, with the goal of helping purchase a new CT Scanner.

FEEDING THE HUNGRY – RE/MAX Blue Chip Realty has made it an annual tradition to get together and donate to the Salvation Army food bank. In 2015, over $1,000 worth of food was raised to feed the less fortunate families in Yorkton.

Captain Rosanne Fraser with the Salvation Army says that the donation is a huge help, especially as the Christmas season begins. The need right now is for canned goods, financial assistance and toys, Fraser says.

New single for Yorkton recording artist

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Yorkton-based recording artist K-Anthony wants to inspire people with his music. His latest single, Tomorrow You May Not, was released recently, with a new video currently viewable online.

Tomorrow You May Not is about doing things today, while you have the chance, as tomorrow the chance may not exist. Anthony says he wants to reach people in a crisis, and give them the inspiration to change their lives for the better.

The song was recorded with producer Dwain “Wiya” Campbell of Barbwiya Music, in two different versions, with the pop version being released first and the reggae version coming soon.

Anthony’s music is meant to be inspirational, and he says that while there are many things he can sing about, he wants to help people improve themselves, and that his music is about giving people a message they need to hear.

“Some people have love, some people have wealth, but they are still unhappy. What is it that

they need to hear? I think they need a message of hope and assurance... Most persons need a savior, and I’m here to present one to you.”

The video itself takes on a classroom setting, with people deciding to change their lives as they listen to Anthony sing the song.

“I wanted to highlight that you have your life in your hands. Whatever way you can enhance your health, do it. So if it’s to give up smoking or give up drinking, try it. I’m really speaking to persons who find it’s a struggle and need to give up something.”

Originally from Jamaica, Anthony came to Yorkton thanks to his wife, who is a nurse in the area. While he says he was getting buzz at home, he decided to move to the city in order to support his family. He admits that it has been an adjustment, being used to a “fast paced music world,” having recorded in Atlanta and New York. While it’s challenging to be a reggae artist in small town Saskatchewan, it’s a challenge that he has embraced.

“That, for me, is a motivating factor, because it pushes me to

work harder.”

While a recent arrival to the area, Anthony says that he’s proud of his new home and is working hard to make that home proud of him.

“I’m here to represent Yorkton, Saskatchewan to the best of my ability.

I want the surrounding neighbourhood to be proud... I’m not from here originally, but I’m here, and I want to influence the community in a positive way.”

A life-long musician, Anthony has studied music and lectured on music as well, and says it’s way he can make an impact in the community.

“This has been my life. I’m here to give hope and inspire people.”

The single is part of a larger plan for Anthony.

He wants to play more shows in the province, with a planned concert in Regina in March of next year as well as plans for a local show before that happens.

He’s also planning a new compilation, as well as an EP with Blue Door music.

Tomorrow You May Not has been released to iTunes, and the video can be found on Anthony’s VEVO channel on Youtube.

YORKTON’S OWN K-Anthony wants to inspire people with music, and has recently released his most recent single, Tomorrow You May Not.

Mr. Mikes searches for deeds well done Across Yorkton, people volunteer every day, trying to make life better for everyone else in the community. Mr. Mikes Steakhouse Casual wants to recognize what these people are doing within the community, and is doing so with the Deeds Well Done program.

Now in its third year, the program is there to highlight local charities across western Canada says Dave Nussbaumer with Mr. Mikes in Yorkton.

“The big thing is to recognize people. A lot of volunteers just do their thing and go about their day to day business helping out and never getting any praise.”

Nominated good deed doers have a chance to win $1,000 for the charity of their choice, as well as a $100 Mr. Mikes gift card for themselves.

The nominator will also receive a $10 gift card.

The plan is to give out $10,000 to charities

across areas where Mr. Mikes serves.

Other than the money itself, they want to get people aware of the good work people are doing on a local level, and give a higher profile to the charities which are often doing good work outside of the public eye, Nussbaumer says.

Previous winners include people doing warm clothing drives for the winter and organizing holiday hamper programs.

Programs like this are why the ownership group behind the

Yorkton location wanted to open a Mr. Mikes, Nussbaumer says, since they wanted to work with a company that gave back to the communities it works in.

“When we chose to bring Mr. Mikes into Yorkton, when I went to Vancouver to interview with the owners of the franchise, the thing that really struck a chord with me – I’m a big volunteer and a true believer that a community is only as strong as its volunteer base – the first thing they said was if you

want to be involved with us, be prepared to be involved in community events.”

People in Yorkton can nominate people for the Deeds Well Done campaign until

December 31, and learn more at www.deedswelldone.com.

Remember to drive safe this winter It is 2015 and there should not be a person left in this province who is not aware of the dangers of drinking and driving.

And yet, every week in Yorkton provincial court there are numerous people facing criminal code charges for doing just that. For a first offence where blood alcohol readings are between .08 and .15, it is a $1,000 fine, loss of licence for a year and a criminal record for the rest of your life.

One guy just a couple weeks ago went to jail for 18 months for subsequent offences.

But those consequences pale in comparison to the guilt of maiming or killing someone.

On average in Saskatchewan, there are more than 1,300 collisions each year involving alcohol and/or other drugs, resulting in 58 deaths and 656 injuries according to SGI. “These aren’t just numbers,” said Earl Cameron, vice president of the Auto Fund. “They are real people who have been hurt or killed because someone chose to drive impaired. While spreading holiday cheer with friends and family, remember that someone you love is waiting for you to get home safely.”

This is the time of year of parties and general merry-making. Let’s not make it a time of grief.

“Impaired driving collisions are 100 per cent preventable,” said Cameron.

“With so many options to not drive impaired, there are no excuses. When planning a night out, make a safe ride home part of your plan. Choose a designated driver in advance, call a taxi or designated driving service, take the bus, walk, or stay over. Please don’t put your life and the lives of others at risk.”

We can do this. And, while we are at it, let’s not forget there are many other dangers out there at this time of year.

It’s been a mild winter so far, but icy conditions are certainly in our near future.

Like not driving impaired, staying safe in winter conditions is a lot of common sense, chiefly reducing speed and keeping a safe distance from vehicles in front.

Other tips from SGI include: not braking or accelerating to hard, removing all ice and snow from windows before driving, not using cruise control when roads are icy and wet, make sure your vehicle is tuned up and ready for the season and check road conditions before heading out.

“It’s important for motorists to drive with more care and caution during the winter months,” said Shannon Ell, SGI’s manager of traffic safety promotion.

“Road conditions constantly change, which means adjusting our driving habits.”

Have a happy and safe holiday season, Yorkton.

Please stop election campaigns The federal election has barely ended and we have already set upon the path for a provincial one.

Campaign calls are already going out – one hit my house last week, in fact, the Saskatchewan Party being the guilty one in this case – and there already attack ads coming from both provincial parties and their friends. While it might be nice if we could hold off until at least March, it looks like that’s not going to happen.

The Saskatchewan Party, for their part, have gone green and embraced recycling in their campaign already, dragging out ads that proclaim we do not want to go back to the same old NDP. This is a familiar campaign, right down to the graphics, and it’s important to note that they are not strictly accurate anymore. The same old NDP has been largely dismantled, something two successful election campaigns can take credit for, but it’s beginning to feel as though the party is stuck somewhere in 2011, fighting an election they’ve already won.

It makes some sense that they want to throw back to that election, it’s the most successful one they had ever run, and they cut the number of opposition MLAs to a mere nine. It also seems as though they want to create a negative association with a party which is significantly different from the old guard which they defeated. It could be effectively argued that the NDP is different now, and two of its most vocal members – specifically, leader Cam Broten, as well as the always present Trent Wotherspoon – are also part of the party’s younger generation. They are not the same old NDP by definition, because they’re neither the same nor old.

The problem with using the “bad old days” as a campaign crutch is that you’re going after people who are already your supporters, the people who will respond strongly to a campaign decrying the previous government are the people who already voted for you last time. New voters, however, do not have the same associations. Younger voters are going to be the ones most open to the NDP, as young voters tend to be more left wing in general. People new to the province, and there are many, might be open to the Saskatchewan Party’s platform but they’re not going to have the “bad old days” resonate, for they were not here. They are going to be much more interested in ensuring that the move back to the province is one that remains worthwhile, and as a result are going to be more focused on plans for the future, rather than fear of a past they didn’t even witness.

After two terms in office, the campaign has to shift from whatever happened nearly a decade ago to your actual plans for the present and leading into the future. Instead, going for a campaign focused on

Things I do with words...

Column Devin Wilger the past leaves the door open for the NDP, especially if there is a current day weakness. Let’s say oil revenues take a large hit, because that has happened, you now have a situation where instability is introduced and an opposition party can capitalize on it. If you’re not focused on the present day, that allows someone else to fill that gap.

The NDP has started down that road, but largely seems focused on Premier Brad Wall himself. That’s an interesting tactic, seemingly inspired by the federal campaigns which focused on Stephen Harper as much as the Conservative Party itself. It might not be a good policy, however, because Wall isn’t generally the weakness of the Saskatchewan Party. He has been drifting right lately, seemingly trying court voters who went Conservative federally, something that could cause the more moderate voters to turn on him, but that might not be enough to get an entire province to change direction. While federally you could run a campaign on personality, especially since Harper was a famously difficult one, provincially you have to make it about policy, a personality battle isn’t effective, especially since you’re going after one who is genuinely popular rather than one who is begrudgingly tolerated. There are plenty of things the NDP could focus on in the upcoming campaign, and I’ll bet money on seeing campaigns from the party discussing supporter-galvanizing issues like privatization, but they’ll do well to move away from a battle of personalities, which hasn’t worked provincially for two elections.

Even after spilling all that ink, it’s doubtful that this election will lead to anything all that new, not unless something changes dramatically in the next few months. So maybe it doesn’t matter what the ad campaigns are, they could run photos of amusing cats and it’ll have as much impact on the eventual election results.

But then, if that is the case, why waste party dollars on ads that nobody is going to care about, and will largely be forgotten by next April? Why phone me, trying to drum up support even though I’m deliberately obtuse and won’t be particularly helpful? Put away the ad campaigns, save your money and wait until spring.

We can win the war on terror by not giving in to fear

The best news for Syrian refugees might be that an incoming prime minister and a departing president have refused to join the orgy of fear taking hold in some quarters.

Both Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and President Barack Obama have remained steadfast and calm in their commitment to move forward with plans to accept Syrian refugees. All this despite the Paris attacks that have caused some politicians to use rhetoric that could be described as mere opportunistic pandering were it not so ugly at its core.

During the Second World War, both Canada and the United States decided to intern citizens of Japanese descent in camps – separating and isolating them from the

society they had grown up in.

This was implemented, not because of anything they had done, but out of fear for what they might do. That they looked different from the majority made the process palatable and acceptable to the population at large.

They were ‘other.’ They could not be trusted.

Their loyalties must surely be to the Emperor and, if not, better safe than sorry.

With each new challenge to national security, with every threat that an unstable world poses, comes the danger that we will repeat mistakes of the past and vilify entire groups of human beings based on national origin, religious belief or ethnicity. It is a very human reaction based, not on

logic or reflection, but on knee-jerk expediency and a primal fear provoking us to avoid, destroy or run away from a perceived threat.

When faced with a medical crisis, health officials employ quarantines for those infected or suspected of infection. They are held until they are deemed free from disease.

Concurrent with that draconian but necessary precaution, those arriving to our shores during a health scare are monitored and screened at ports of entry.

Technology allows for temperatures to be taken with a pinpoint laser to determine the existence of a telltale fever.

But there is no device that allows us to look into a person’s heart and soul to determine what they

might do, feel or act upon in the future.

National origin and religious belief are personal, private expressions of identity.

They are not viruses but those who would have us close our borders, our communities and our countries are, in effect, treating them as such.

We need to extend compassion to the refugees fleeing the very same people we identify as terrorists. They are not de facto threats simply because they share the same ethnicity and religion of those who would do us harm.

At some point, we have to trust our intelligence gathering capabilities to identify and prevent terrorist attacks on our soil.

Every free society comes with inherent risks

because of the very fact that they are free and with that freedom comes choice and risk. We will never live in absolute security until each of us finds a solitary cabin in the woods where we can board up our windows and sit in the dark with shotguns on our laps - waiting for the noise outside that signals an intruder has come.

It is not in times of comfort, in times of safety and security, that a society is tested. It is in times of turmoil, upheaval and danger. The fundamental question we must ask is if we are willing to abandon or forsake those values and beliefs upon which we have built our communities, our countries and our lives.

Vigilance should not give way to vengeance

nor should legitimate wariness devolve into hate and fear. Terror may have come to be a word denoting mayhem and violence but let us not forget that it is also a feeling of extreme fear. We control, both as societies and individuals, whether we will allow ourselves to feel terror, to feel terrorized.

If we do, then those who would perpetrate their acts of lunacy against us have achieved their goal. If, however, we resolve to remain true to our core beliefs, to our core values and aspirations as a free society, then we have surely won the war on terror already.

Your letter of the Week Tax Dollars Helping to Fund Anti-Oilsands Witch Hunt Recently, the University of Albertabased Parkland Institute was awarded $2.5 million in federal funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), for a project entitled “Mapping the Power of the Carbon-Extractive Corporate Resources Sector.”

Just in case the title isn’t clear enough, Parkland Institute director Trevor Harrison helpfully explained that “Albertans are all too familiar with the influence that the fossil fuel industry exerts over the political process in Alberta and beyond.” Cue the sinister music.

Yet Parkland isn’t embarking on this corporate onion-peeling exercise all on their own. In addition to several other universities, they’ve got partners in the form of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) a (“progressive” think-tank) and Unifor (a union). The CCPA is even kicking in some of their own cash for the study.

Congratulations! You, the taxpayer, are now helping bankroll a corporate witch hunt against Canada’s oil industry. But it’s even worse for the approx-

imately 720,000 Canadian taxpayers directly employed by the oil industry who will see some of their hard-earned tax dollars siphoned off to fund a project specifically designed to attack their employers.

Now to be clear, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with any organization studying anything it wants to – provided they pay for if themselves. If groups like the CCPA and Unifor want to study corporate influence on public discourse or study why oil companies are dumb jerks or study why anyone who has ever used an oil-derived product is a duck-murdering heathen, they’re welcome to do so with their own money. (Well, kind of their “own” money: Unifor is already entitled to seize tax-deductible dues from all their members, while the CCPA is a registered charity and can give their donors a taxpayer-subsidized tax credit.)

There’s a problem, however, when these groups partner with publiclyfunded institutions in order to get additional tax dollars to pay for their own advocacy. The CCPA and Unifor are private organizations who have their own political agenda, and all tax-

payers are now being forced to pay for this “research” whether or not they agree with it.

Some might claim this kind of study is in the public interest. And yet imagine the reaction if tax dollars were instead announced for a joint oil company-university study that would pull the curtain back on all the layers of foreign funding received by some Canadian environmental groups and name and shame key anti-development activists. No prizes for guessing how the CCPA and Unifor would feel about that.

SSHRC funding is intended to go to towards academic research. It is a waste of scarce public dollars to subsidize the advocacy of one set of interests when those interests can, and often do, undertake that advocacy on their own. Unfortunately, SSHRC also has a spotty track record when picking grant recipients. In 2007, they granted $17,500 to a University of Alberta researcher to study casual sex among young adults living in Jasper, Alberta.

In 2009, another $17,500 was given out to a Memorial University researcher to study identity creation in the

World of Warcraft video game. And in 2012, $20,000 was given to a University of British Columbia researcher to analyze fan mail sent to porn star Nina Hartley.

Much like some SSHRC grants, there’s nothing “academic” about this project. It’s hard to see what it will even uncover, other than to provide more names for anti-oil activists to trash in the public sphere. The proponents of this study make no effort to hide their anti-development animus; the very parameters of the project are premised on all kinds of implicit assumptions. So what precisely is this project for, other than attempt to invade the privacy of individuals who work in an industry they don’t like, and promulgate conspiracy theories that – surprise – perfectly fit the narrative of groups like the CCPA and Unifor?

If anti-oil activists want to spend their time and money on these kinds of endeavours, they’re welcome to. But taxpayers shouldn’t be expected to foot the bill.

READING TO KIDS – The kids at the Yorkton Nursery School Co-operative had the chance to meet their favorite hockey players, as the Yorkton Terriers came to read and play with the kids.

Amaryllis: The Classic Christmas bulb

By Sara Williams The amaryllis (Hippeastrum spp.) is a large, bold flowering bulb that can be grown by even the blackest of thumbs. They are tropical bulbs and on the prairies are generally purchased in the fall for indoor bloom during and after the holiday season: now is the ideal time to pot up a few for your own enjoyment and/or to give away as gifts.

Readily available as dormant bulbs or complete with potting mix and pot, amaryllis are simple to prepare, and grow at normal room temperature. They can become large plants, generally 45-60 cm tall with blooms 10-15 cm wide with some as large as 20-25 cm wide.

Colours range from pure white to salmon, pink, red and biciolours. Some have single flowers, others have double flowers or spider-like flowers, and some are multi-flowering.

Purchase large, firm bulbs that show no to just the beginnings of new growth. Extra large bulbs are more expensive but produce more blooms. Use a pot with drainage holes that is 8-10 cm wider than the bulb. Once in bloom, the plant may become top-heavy, so a clay or ceramic pot will counterbalance it better than a plastic pot to prevent toppling over.

Use a light, welldrained, peat-based potting mixture. Place the bulb on top of 2-5 cm of soil and then fill the remaining space so that a third to half of the bulb is exposed above the potting mixture. Firm the soil, water well and drain completely.

Place the pot in a sunny, warm (18-25°C) room. Night temperatures can be slightly cooler. Water sparingly until new growth

appears. The flower shoot(s) generally emerges before the leaves. From this point on, water whenever the soil is dry. Do not overwater as this may lead to rot. Fertilize with a complete soluble houseplant fertilizer such as 20-20-20 monthly while in active growth, remembering that it’s generally better to under fertilize rather than to over fertilize.

Turn the pot regularly to ensure that the foliage growth is evenly balanced. Once the flower buds begin to open (about 8 weeks after potting up), move the pot to a cooler location with indirect light.

This will prolong flowering and promote more intense colouring.

Cultivars with larger blooms may need staking to prevent toppling over. Remover flowers as they fade and cut the stalk down to just above the foliage when all flowers are done.

After flowering, return the pot to a sunny location and water and feed regularly to promote healthy dark green foliage. When cared for properly, amaryllis bulbs should increase 1-2 cm in diameter each year. Bulbs may be placed outdoors in a semi-shaded location provided they are protected from spring and fall frosts. As leaves turn yellow, they can be removed with a sharp knife or a gentle tug.

Bring them indoors in September and store in a cool (12°C), dry location until signs of growth appear, in about two months.

Early flowering varieties: ‘Minerva’ – red with white stripes; ‘Sweet Nymph’ – semidouble to double watermelon-pink flowers accented with darker veins and white highlights; ‘Evergreen’ – long spidery re-curved petals of a celery green; ‘Bolero’ – single large

rounded rose-red flowers.

Mid-season flowering varieties: ‘Apple Blossom’ – white petals, generously feathered in soft pink and highlighted with a lime green throat; ‘Double

Comet Catalina never to be seen again

Anyone who’s been following along here will note that I’ve been mentioning a lot of morning stuff recently, but that’s because the universe is in charge: Mother Nature decides what and when, and I just get to point it out.

Understand that I am not a morning person, and therefore would not normally be up at 6 a.m. on December 4, and especially the 7th, without good reason. This year I will. If you should also be up, here’s a little something to check while that morning coffee is brewing.

We have a visitor.

On December 4, if it’s a clear morning, you would notice the Moon fairly high in the eastern sky. Joining it, a few finger widths up and to the right, would be bright Jupiter. If you have a decent view down near the horizon, brilliant Venus would grab your eye, and half way back up toward the Moon would be a much dimmer, but definitely red, Mars.

But, this planetary alignment is not why I have you up in the predawn.

Grab those binoculars you always keep at hand

The Universe from your own back yard

by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca. (sharp-eyed country folk might be able to go without). Find Venus, then look slowly down and to the left about half way to the horizon. You should find a fuzzy patch called C/2013 US10 Catalina.

Catalina is a comet.

Like most comets, it was

born in the Oort Cloud, a region of debris half way to the next star. Having whipped around the Sun in mid November, it’s now on it’s way out of the solar system into interstellar space, sadly never to be seen again. If you choose to sleep in, you

will not be able to ‘catch it next time’.

But, don’t fret if you don’t catch Catalina on the 4th; you’ll have ample other opportunities. For the next few days, Venus will move closer, and on the 7th, a crescent Moon will join the other two in the same binocular field, a rare occurrence that even I will get up for. No clouds, please.

While Catalina is an early morning object right now, it will be moving rapidly northward and rising a little earlier each day, becoming an evening object early in January. On the 1st, with

the familiar strains of ‘Auld Lang Syne’ in the background, Catalina will celebrate the new year by passing a thumb width to the right of the red giant Arcturus, the brightest star in the northern hemisphere.

Although it will always be a challenge with your eyes alone, Catalina will continue to be visible in binoculars each evening at least into March. It may not be bright or spectacular, but it’s come an awfully long way to make itself briefly known to us, and it’s available from your own back yard.

Help your child get involved in the arts. This could mean taking them to a child based photography class. This may mean simply providing them some markers and paper to draw, scribble, and create. You can take this time to also teach your child numbers, colors, letters, shapes, and objects.

Allow your child to pursue their artistic interests. Singing and dancing will help develop your child’s sense of rhythm, melody, harmony, and timing.

Encourage dramatic play by providing dress up clothes and different scenes to act out. A great family game would be Charades.

It is important to encourage your child’s attempts for success. If your child is learning to play the piano you can show interest by listening to them play and praise them for work well done - even if it does not sound like Tchaikovsky! Children learn at different levels.

They will only get better with practice and encouragement!

Arts enhance our daily lives. Activities such as dance, drama, drawing, and sculpting can provide children an artistic outlet. Such activities allow children to express how they feel, think, or imagine!

Encouraging artistic outlets is important to a child’s development. It

brings back memories of when my parents hosted card games in their smalltown SK homes and served all-sorts candy-and the dragonfly page.

I can certainly admire the art, but now it’s time to put the efficacy of “colouring as a means to lessening stress” to work. Will I feel calmer?

Like a child again? I search my desk, my junk drawer: no markers or pencil crayons! And the work is too fine to attempt with wax crayons. Well, I’m all out of Big Girl things like butter and eggs, so a trip to the store is called for.

Art-Tastic for kids

The writer of a June 2015 article (in The Guardian) reported that “Five of Amazon’s top 10 last week were adult colouring-in books, as were six of Brazil’s top 10 non-fiction list. Last year in France, the combined colouring-in industry sold 3.5m books.” Apparently it’s a universal phenomenon, captivating folks from all walks of life.

Psychologists are studying it. An Algerian doctor stated that colouring books helped him lick severe depression.

They’re huge in China.

There are Facebook sites dedicated to this. Apps.

And there are intricately-designed books galore.

Would Smith’s Time After Time meet the unspoken promise to keep me in a calm, focused zone? I opened the softcover (approximately 9 x 12”) and was bedazzled. Many of the images, including the cover image, depict a fantastical landscape with water; hills; ringed cones (trees); flowers; insects; hobbit-type homes; all-sorts-ish candy; and creatures, all graphically designed with swirls, stripes, dots, circles, checks, and squiggles (this sounds like a children’s poem).

I can imagine the fun she had creating these images, and wonder if she imagined the adults who might take felt pen to paper and fill in the blanks while the prescient concerns of their worlds melted away like ice cream.

There are twenty-four images (not counting covers, inside and out) to play with, and each graphic faces a blank page. My favourites are the full-bleed candy page-perhaps because it

some internet research.

That may seem strange, for here I was about to review a book without text… shouldn’t it be, like, easy-peasy? I was vaguely aware that adult colouring books had become a hot new phenomenon, and I wanted to know why.

Turns out it’s about de-stressing. What I learned is that like reading, or doing jigsaw puzzles, or knitting, when

Drinking and driving is a one-way street to disaster.

Stay on the right track – if you’re drinking, arrange for a ride; if you’re driving, stay sober. With so many celebrations during the holiday season, it’s especially important to remember your responsibility to yourself, your family, your friends and your community: Keep yourself and fellow motorists out of danger by staying sober behind the wheel.

Don’t risk your life or the life of someone else. If you plan on drinking, plan ahead and choose a designated driver or call a taxi service for a ride home.

Good Spirit Acres Newsletter Dec. 2015 It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Many homes in Good Spirit Acres are decorated with lights & greetings. All sorts of baking is being done, in preparation for the season of hosting & giving… remember, Christmas calories don’t count!

We keep hoping that we are going to have a White Christmas, but the mild weather that we have been having, who knows?

The Christmas greeting board is up at the Good Spirit Market & there is still time to have your Christmas wishes placed.

We will need snow & colder weather before ice can be made at the

skating rink. Chris Leis has volunteered to take on this job again & Craig Ostafie & Brad Parker are his helpers. Thank you so much Chris!

More snow is also needed before any cross country ski trails can be set.

The Good Spirit Market is the hub of the community in winter. There is hot coffee all day, every day.

Their hours are Sun to Thurs. 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Friday & Sat. 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. They have occasional breakfasts on the weekends and also will serve lunches if you phone ahead! That’s 306-7924663.

They are hoping for warm weather and lots

of snow this winter, and look forward to seeing everyone.

Fall work in the Hamlet was completed..snow fence up & cattails removed from in front of the culverts.

We are ready for win-

ter … regular snow cleaning and graveling will occur as needed.

Council members are keeping track of any coyote sightings...so please report to them if any are seen.

John Neufeld, our

RM councillor, reports that he is still on the Canora Fire Board and the Library Board for the RM of Good Lake.

The RM has made sure water ways are clear for drainage, and they have changed equipment from gravel to snow plowing.

Lynn MacDonald, president of the Good Spirit Community Assoc. is finding it hard to carry on with activities with so few people on her committee. She has worked hard to organize the Christmas supper, (which will be held on Dec. 5th at Good Spirit Provincial Park,) going door to door, selling tickets as well as organizing the caterers & setting up for the sup-

per.

She mentioned that Snow a Rama will be coming up in Feb., & volunteers will be needed.

It is sad to say, but if more people don’t show an interest in the Community Assoc. executive, it might actually fold. Please give Lynn a call at 306641-3032, if you would be willing to take a term on the Community Assoc.

A hug is the perfect Christmas gift—one size fits all and it’s easily returned!

Merry Christmas from your friends at Good Spirit Acres

Last session pre election focused on keeping SK strong Premier Brad Wall said the fall legislative session that wrapped up today focused on keeping Saskatchewan strong and moving forward.

“Even with the challenges facing our resource sector, Saskatchewan is still growing and creating jobs, thanks to our diversified economy,” Wall said. “That’s a far cry from a decade ago when any sort of an economic slowdown would drive people, jobs and investment out of Saskatchewan.”

Wall said the government is doing its part to keep the economy strong by continuing to invest in much- needed infrastructure projects.

“Since this session began just seven weeks ago, we have opened the new Dr. F. H. Wigmore Regional Hospital in

Moose Jaw, new health facilities in Saskatoon, Biggar, Maple Creek, Kerrobert and Canora and a long-term care expansion in Tisdale,” Wall said.

“We have also opened the new school in Hudson Bay, major additions at Holy Cross and George Vanier schools in Saskatoon, the expansion of the Queen Elizabeth Power Station in Saskatoon, a new Headstart on a Home housing project in Prince Albert, a new group home for persons with intellectual disabilities in Regina, the new Parkland Trades and Technologies Centre in Yorkton and a number of completed highways projects including the Estevan Bypass.

“At the same time, planning is continuing on the Victoria Hospital

in Prince Albert and work is underway on the new Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon, the new Saskatchewan Hospital in North Battleford, the Regina Bypass, 18 new schools and a number of other important projects all over Saskatchewan. ”It’s all part of our government’s plan to keep Saskatchewan strong,” Wall said.

During the session, the government passed a number of pieces of legislation, including: A new essential services law to protect Saskatchewan people in the event of a public sector strike; A new farmland ownership law to clearly define who can purchase farmland in Saskatchewan and prevent pension plans from buying farmland;

A new conflict of interest law for municipalities; A new procurement law to ensure Saskatchewan taxpayers receive the best value for money when government contracts are awarded; and New legislation to

give patients the option to pay for a private Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan in Saskatchewan.

During the fall sitting, the government also announced its intention to create 52 more private liquor stores in Saskatchewan

while updating the liquor permitting and price system to put all retailers on a level playing field.

This was the last legislative sitting before the provincial election on April 4, 2016.

Be proactive, winterize your vehicle

Winter ’s coming quickly, and with it comes the usual chores of shovelling the driveway, scraping ice off the windshield and bundling up before leaving the house. But before the time comes to deal with the challenges the colder weather presents, make sure your vehicle is ready for the season.

December 1 to 7 is National Safe Driving Week, and the Canada Safety Council is reminding Canadians to winter-proof their vehicles to make any driving they may do become easier, safer and more reliable.

One of the most beneficial preventative measures you can take is to install winter tires on your car. Get four tires that are suitable for your vehicle,

paying special attention to the mountain/ snowflake symbol on the side to indicate that they conform to winter tire standards.

Don’t wait for the first snowfall to make the change, either - winter tires should be installed when the ambient temperature drops below 7C. This is when the rubber in allseason tires hardens and starts losing the grip it offers.

According to the Tire and Rubber Association of Canada’s Winter Tire Report, only half of Canadian motorists outside Quebec - where winter tire use is mandatory according to provincial law - use winter tires, with 63 per cent of people surveyed incorrectly believing that all-season tires offer ade-

quate braking power and traction for Canadian winters.

However, the survey showed the biggest detractor for switching to winter tires was the cost.

But, in addition to government incentives, some insurance companies also offer discounts to drivers who use winter tires.

In Quebec, where the tires have been mandatory since 2008, crashes have decreased significantly; a study done for the province’s transportation ministers showed an 18 per cent drop. Don’t put a price on peace of mind - winter tires can save lives.

In addition to the installation of winter tires, basic maintenance of your vehicle is also of critical importance before the

winter months are in full swing. Be sure to take action on the following items: Make sure lights are all working properly. Replace any headlights, brake lights or other lights on your vehicle if they’re not in working condition.

Especially in the winter, it’s important to see and be seen.

Ensure you have a fully-charged battery.

In cold weather, a depleted battery might not be enough to start your vehicle. Have your battery tested before cold weather hits, and be proactive in changing it for a new one before the old battery fails.

Know you’ll be able to stop safely. Winter tires are an important part of gaining traction when stopping, but you should also

check that your brakes are working well. If they are squeaking, creaking, feel odd or seem to pull, get them serviced.

Windshield wipers and washer fluid should be working right. Replace any windshield wipers that are streaky, as any accumulation of snow or ice could make visibility much poorer.

Also, fill up on winter windshield washer fluid (-35C or -40C) and keep a second jug in your vehicle at all times in case of emergency.

Keep a brush and scraper in your vehicle. You never know when you might need to brush snow or scrape ice off your car.

Be prepared for these eventualities and they won’t catch you by sur-

prise. Consider keeping a flashlight, too, as the extra light may prove useful on dark winter nights.

The Canada Safety Council has a limited number of ice scrapers available for free to interested motorists.

Please email us at csc@safety-council.org for more information.

Driving in the winter always poses a new set of challenges to even the most experienced of drivers.

Ensure that you’re well prepared to face the elements, leave yourself plenty of time and space to get stopped if necessary and, if possible, avoid driving in poor visibility bad weather conditions entirely.

The Canada Safety Council wishes you a happy and safe winter!

Sask small biz declines again in November

Recently, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) released its latest monthly Business Barometer®, which reveals optimism among small business owners in Saskatchewan declined again to an index of 52.7 in November, from 58.3 in October, well below the national average index of 58.7. “ S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s index dropped more than 5 points in November, its third consecutive decline, to reach 52.7.

Employment plans are also at the lowest level since 2009 with

19 per cent of employers expecting to cut back on full-time staff.

Only 11 per cent of employers are planning to increase full-time staff,” said Marilyn BraunPollon, CFIB’s VicePresident, Prairie and Agri-Business.

“It is clear the effects of declining commodity prices continue to impact small business optimism levels. We also fear many municipalities will only make matters worse with proposing to hike property taxes in 2016. Instead of hiking taxes, we need municipal leaders to control spending and address inequities in

their municipal property tax system.”

“National small business optimism remained muted in November and showed little change from the previous month,” said CFIB chief economist Ted Mallett. “The latest national index was 58.7--only 0.2 points from October’s 58.9, but below sentiment recorded in the first half of the year.”

Optimism trended upward for the second month in a row in British Columbia, increasing a point to 66.6. Alberta made a one point improvement to 37.4, but still sits last in the country by a significant mar-

gin. Saskatchewan’s confidence fell six points to 52.7.

Manitoba jumped to 68.0. Ontario picked up half a point to move to 63.0, while Quebec dipped to 56.5, remaining just below the national average.

Newfoundland and Labrador ’s business confidence dropped more than five points to 59.8. Nova Scotia’s confidence slipped to 67.6, but still secondhighest in the country.

New Brunswick’s confidence made a small jump to 60.5. Prince Edward Island rose four points to 63.2.

Results and the full report are available at: www.cfib-fcei.ca/

english/barometer Highlights of the Saskatchewan Business Barometer for November: · 43 per cent of businesses in Saskatchewan say their overall state of business is good (43 per cent nationally), 13 per cent say it is bad (13 per cent nationally). · 11 per cent of Saskatchewan businesses plan to increase full-time employment in the next 3-4 months (18 per cent nationally) and 19 per cent plan to decrease employment (15 per cent nationally). · Insufficient domestic demand

Government marks Ukrainian Holodomor said. “I also encourage everyone to visit the Bitter Memories of Childhood statue, which serves as a permanent reminder of this tragedy and can be seen on the grounds of Wascana Centre in our provincial capital.

People needlessly suffered and perished in Ukraine during this terrible time in our world’s history. Let us never forget this horrific event so that it may never be repeated.”

Today’s service with

Krawetz and members of the Ukrainian community occurred during National Holodomor Awareness Week, which happens in 2015 from November 23 to 29 with International Holodomor Memorial Day on Saturday, November 28.

Holodomor, which means “extermination by hunger” in Ukrainian, is regarded by historians as a deliberate campaign of terror perpetuated by Soviet dictator Joseph

Stalin and claimed the lives of seven to 10 million people from 1932 to 1933.

In May, an exact copy of the Bitter Memories of Childhood bronze statue by sculptor Petro Drozdowsky was dedicated in Regina and is located east of the Legislative Building along Lakeshore Drive, close to Avenue B. This project of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress – Regina Branch features a peasant girl holding a wheat

sheaf and serves as a reminder of the famine’s devastation and its impact on children.

Rebecca is a beautiful, successful 44 year old woman looking for love. She is a Marketing Manager, owns her own home, and is debt free. Rebecca is a divorced mother of one, her daughter, age 20, has recently moved out, leaving Rebecca with an empty nest. She has been divorced for about 5 years, and has been very focused on being a great, attentive mother, and having a successful career. Balancing her job as a single mother, and her career, left her with little time for herself, and even less for dating.

With her daughters recent move, she has been given much more free time to enjoy herself and her life, and time to focus on finding a successful relationship.

Rebecca enjoys going out for dinner, a day at the spa, yoga, traveling, boating, candle-lit dinners and great conversations. She has a great, fulfilling and joyous life, and while she does not feel as though she needs someone else to complete it, she wants someone to enjoy that with.
